They both looked back towards the door and found Hanji standing there. The shocked look on her face slowly shaped into a smug grin as she looked down at them. Somehow she wasn't surprised at the situation she saw before her.
" Couldn't wait until you got better Levi?" She teased. Eren heard a growl erupt from the man above him, his hands tightening into fists. The anger was clear on his captain's face. So when he had opened his mouth to make a remark Eren beat him to it.
" What are you doing here Hanji?"

" Hm? Oh I came to see how the medicine was helping."
" So late?"
" It's nearly morning." She nodded towards the window where the sun had already started to rise. " I came early so then that way no one would see me and question what was wrong with Levi. But it seems I came at the wrong time."
Eren could feel the anger practically rolling of Levi now.
" No, it's just a misunderstanding. He got sick and when I was trying to help him back to his bed we tripped and fell." He explained as he slowly pushed up onto his arms. Levi felt his hand push slightly into his chest, as if asking him if he could save the argument and anger for later. To his surprise Levi slackened and slowly sat back. Although Eren wasn't sure if this position was any better than Levi practically pinning him down.

" I can get to my bed myself brat." He commented as he slowly made his way to his feet. Though he did manage to make it to the security of the mattress himself, his steps were incredibly rushed.

" He got sick you said?" Hanji continued, shutting the door behind her and forgetting about her mission to tease the two.
" Yea. He had a little bread but that's it. I'm sure his stomach is even more empty than how it was when before if it's even more possible."

Levi could hear their conversation in the background but couldn't find himself to pay attention to it. Instead he slowly lowered himself so he was laying comfortably on his side. His throat burned so terribly not to mention his mouth felt disgusting. Well he in general just felt disgusting. His stomach growled yet begged not to be fed all at the same time. His body tingled from the cold yet he was sweating from being hot. It was like there was no balance.

" He needs to eat."
" What if he just throws it back up?"
" We have to try."

There was a pause.
" Okay."

" Hopefully he won't be sick too much longer. But I can't really tell."
" Neither can I. Do you think his fever is breaking and that's why he's like this?"

" It's a huge possibility. Eren, you stay with him for the next few days and take care of him."
" What! But what about-"
" I'll excuse you from it. Besides your ankle is still in its last healing stages. We need a pair of eyes on him to make sure he is alright. You wouldn't mind doing that for him now would you?"

" No! Of course not! I'd do all that I could to help!" He rushed. Hanji smiled.
" Good. Then you should have no problem. I'll come up a little later and bring food. Make sure he gets plenty of rest oh and uh Eren?"

" Yea?"

" Both of you try to refrain from making a move. I can't afford to have you get sick either."
Levi definitely heard that. Loud and clear. And he'd yell at her for it later once he had his wits about him.

Once Hanji left Eren took a shaky breath. He couldn't tell just how this was going to turn out for him.

He turned and glanced at Levi on the bed. First things first he needed to cool him down. Levi heard him walk back into the restroom and fumble around. He cringed at the thought of how messy it would be by the time he got better. After a few moments passed Eren returned with a small bowl and rag. With half lidded eyes, Levi watched as he dunked the rag into the bowl and rang it out before turning towards him.

" It should help with your fever." He stated as he pushed Levi's bangs back and laid it down oh so gently. Levi's eyebrows furred together at the sudden coldness but it he still enjoyed the feeling of it against his skin.

Eren's shoulders fell as he looked down at him.

" What's with the heart broken look shitty brat?"

Eren gave a small smirk.

" It's nothing sir." He continued as he got onto his knees and crossed his arms, letting them sit on the bed. " It's just really sad to see you like this."

" I'm not a child Jaeger."

" True but it's still upsetting to see someone in this much pain." His hand slipped up and caught a piece of Levi's bangs. " If I could I'd take it all away and suffer through it myself."

Levi looked up at him. He didn't say a word, didn't make an expression, didn't do a thing. Instead he held his breath and just stared at him. Eren seemed to notice his actions and quickly pulled away with embarrassment. A subtle blush raised to his cheeks as he turned his face, as if it would hide it. Levi gave a small shake of his head. This kid, this damn stupid kid, was going to make him go crazy.

Eren gasped as he felt Levi snatch up his hand. He snapped his head back down towards him only to find him laying with his eyes closed. Levi coughed and hid his face slightly to cover his mouth. Then he returned back to laying his head like normally, letting Eren cherish the peaceful look on his face.

" Thank you Eren."

Eren felt his heart pound. It was just a simple thank you there was nothing to get excited about. But he just couldn't help himself. Eren squeezed Levi's hand before shifting and laying his head gently on the bed. Then he felt the most amazing thing the world.

Levi squeezed back.
