It had been four days since what happened to Eren. Mikasa and Armin had come to visit him everyday and Hanji had been in and out quite frequently to do check ups and change Erens bandages. Levi had stayed with him for the first day and a half but because of his status in the Legion he had duties elsewhere.

He mindlessly worked on paperwork and other tedious tasks as the days passed, constantly thinking over what had happened. Nobody could figure out what was wrong. Since Eren had collapsed he showed no signs of any problems other than breaking out into cold sweats once and awhile. It was frustrating, the fact that there was no logical solution to this and the fact that it upset him so much.

Why did he feel so worried about the brat. Was it because he was a valuable soldier for the Scouting Legion? For all of society? No, that didn't seem quite right. Becoming even more frustrated he pushed the thoughts to the back of his mind and focused on the paperwork currently staring back at him.

It had been an hour or so and Levi hadn't gotten far in his work. Sighing loudly, he closed his eyes, just about ready to give up and take a break when he could hear loud footsteps approaching his way. He knew that upbeat step. Groaning this time he got up, ready to be drowned in the latest news of Hanjis experiments and equally ready to shoo her away. Hanji burst open the door with a big grin.

"Erens awake!" She gleamed.
Levis chest tightened at her words. Seemingly by how happy she was, Eren was okay which was a relief to him but he still wanted to check with his own eyes. Not letting himself take to much time to think about it, knowing he would only get angry again at himself for his confusing emotions, he gave a curt reply and walked passed Hanji to the medic room.

Upon arriving he opened the door and swiftly walked in zoning in right to beside Erens bed to where he sat down on the empty chair, not saying a word. Luckily no one was visiting right now and he didn't have to be bothered by anyone else. Eren seemed suprised to see him and sat up straight.

"Hello sir.." He said wearily.
Silence. Levi studied the boy. The wounds on his neck had healed by now, and he looked considerably better than when he last saw him. He looked up at the boy, bright sea green eyes glanced at him questioningly.
"You're looking better." Levi stated.

Eren smiled slightly and looked down at his hands.
"Y-yes, sir. I also heard that you carried me here... I'm sorry for causing you an inconvenience, sir."
Levi scowled. "Don't mention it. It is the duty of your Captian to aid his soldiers when in need. I only did what was needed. Nothing else."
Eren gave a quick nod, continuing to look down at his hands.

Levi softened his expression. Although he said that, he was really glad that the boy was okay. He had been so worried. Truely realizing that Eren was okay, relief washed over him and he became very tired. Had he slept much lately? Maybe an hour here or there but nothing more. His eyes were becoming droopy. He didn't want to show this side -or any side of himself- to his comrades but he couldnt help start to waver.

"H-heichou?" Eren asked, looking worriedly at Levi as his eyes were starting to close on their own and he looked about ready to fall over. "Are you alright?"
Levi put both hands on the bed to hold himself up. "I...I'm fine. Just a little tired, thats all."
Just as he spoke those words, sleep seemed to win and his head fell onto the side of the bed, hands resting on each side of his head, clutching the blanket Eren was under. Unsure if Levi was awake or not Eren called out.

"Hei...Levi?" He tried calling out his name, hoping desperately the man was sleeping and not actually awake and angry that he had not called him Heichou. No response. Eren could now hear Levis heavy even breathing and was sure he was sleeping. Just then Hanji walked in. She saw what was happening and came up to Eren and leaned close to his ear.

"Levi was so worried about you. He hasn't slept much if at all and he even stayed by your bed for as long as he could." She whispered. Chuckling lightly before skipping out of the room, leaving them alone again. Levi was worried? About me? How could that be possible? Eren couldn't help but look at his sleeping Heichou and think he was kind of cute. He took one of the blankets he was using and draped it over Levi. Eren then layed back down and closed his eyes.

He peeked over at Levi again, and this time he took his hand and lightly brushed his fingers along Levis hand, grabbing his hand and smiling to himself. He dozed off shortly after, holding hands with his Heichou.
