Levi Pov
I continued to argue with Erwin about not letting me join the courtroom but he kept insisting I was needed here with Eren but I doubt the kid will wake up as much as I want him too…
And then that sound pierced my ears…
'beep'...'beep'…..'beep'….'beep'…'beep'..'beep'.'beep'.'beep'….
Eren's heart beat we both turned our heads to see the boy having what seemed like a panic attack but his body could hardly move but his head kept trying to turn as if looking for something. I pressed the button for help.
A nurse immediately ran inside the room and to his side and realised something…
"stand back please….. wait he's not having a seizure… oh my god he's having a panic attack" she seemed so shocked as if this shouldn't be happening.
She started stroking his hand calming him with shushing sounds but it wasn't working and then I realised he could only have a panic attack if he's awake. I ran to the other side of the bed and grabbed is other hand in mine while stroking his hair back…
"Eren…shush…shush it's okay it's me…Levi you remember me right…" he reacted to my name and quickly calmed down turning his head towards my voice.
"mmhfmm" all I could hear was a muffled sound because he had a tube down his throat to make sure his lungs got air, apparently the boy suffered from 2 badly swollen black eyes, a broken rib which nearly punctured his lung, internal bleeding and several cuts and bruises all over his body.
The nurse noticed he tried to talk and called for a doctor after he came the nurse spoke with him and he looked at Eren and me then walked towards Eren and carefully removing the tube from his throat.
Eren coughed as the throat was removed.
"I believe he no longer has to use this but he will need to have this oxygen mask on 90% of the time just in case but when he wants to talk he can just move it away but he must keep it there with him." The doctor informed me and he quietly left.
Eren Pov
'cough' 'cough'
"Levi?" I asked softly
"Yeah kid I'm here" his hand squeezed mine reassuringly.
"Don't leave me, please…" I begged I was so scared and I couldn't see.
"don't worry I wont leave you" he replied sounding a little worried.
"you need to rest though brat, you're still injured and healing so sleep" he poked my forehead with his free hand.
"wait…Levi can you… stay with me… till I fall sleep" I asked
"I'll be right here" his presence calmed me and made me feel safe.
It wasn't long until I slowly fell back asleep.
…
I was in the hospital for a week healing and Levi was always there by my side keeping me safe and calm, with each day my eyes were slowly able to open partially, the first time I could actually see my eyes followed Levi all day and I was crying from joy I had never felt so happy to know there was someone I could trust.
