Levi woke up confused. He sat up, cringing at how sore his back was from sleeping in such an awkward position. He was extremely groggy, waking up was really hard for him but considering he was sleeping on an uncomfortable hard chair he was more awake then usual.

Most of the time he had to have Erwin or Hanji come in and try and wake him, which took a good half hour or so. It was pretty embarassing and both Erwin and Hanji agreed he was extremely child like when sleeping, which pissed him off but he couldn't help it. Shaking off his sleepiness he looked around. Recalling he was talking to Eren and then he suddenly felt really tired and assumed he passed out.

Looking down he realized he was holding hands with the brat. He snapped his hand back from the kids grip and looked up to see he was asleep as well. What the hell. He tried to get up, stumbling a little at the blanket wrapped around him. Pulling it off him and setting it on the end of the bed he got up to leave.

Looking outside he realized the sun was just rising, it was really early and he had work to do. He sighed and left quickly to attend to the tasks of the day, making a note to take a shower first as he was filthy. He did have questions for Eren but decided to save them for later, not wanting to wake him up.

Hanji was already up and busy running around her lab frantically at unbelievably early hours of the morning. She had been working on an odd experiment excitedly for a couple hours and decided to take a break. She wanted to check up on Eren, of course having a ton of questions for him as well. She made some tea for the boy, and walked over to the medic room to greet him.

Eren was still fast alseep but with a loud shout of his name and a happyily sung good morning from Hanji had him awake and sitting up at the sudden visitor.
"Hanji-san... good morning." He said letting out a small yawn as he rubbed his eyes, trying to get rid of his sleepiness.

"Hello Eren! Here i brought you tea." Hanji walked over and sat in the chair beside his bed placing the tray at the end of the bed and eagerly shoving a cup his way. Eren accepted the cup, taking a sip of the warm liquid and sighing contently.

"Thank you." He smiled at Hanji. Even though he was a bit annoyed at her waking him up at such an ungodly hour he was happy to see she had brought him tea.
She smiled back at Eren brightly.
"So, how are you feeling kiddo?" She questioned, quickly putting her hand up to feel his forehead.

Eren rested the cup of tea on his lap, rubbing his index finger over the rim absent mindedly.
"Much better actually, thank you." He thought back to what had happened to him and cringed at the thought. Hanji frowned slightly, eyes looking more serious now. She rested her arms on her knees, clasping her hands together.

"I'm glad. But things were pretty gruesome, you were unconsious for four days."
Erens eyes widened. Four days? That was the longest he had ever been out for since these attacks had started happening. For the past few months Eren had started getting these attacks. They were sudden and he wasn't too sure what caused them but he usually just would get fevers or pass out for a few hours.

They had been getting a bit more frequent and lasting longer too but he didn't think much of it. He blew it off as just being over exhausted and didn't want to worry anyone with his problems so he didn't bother mentioning it.
"Eren?" Hanji called out, breaking him from his thoughts.

"O-oh, yeah sorry Hanji-san. I was just thinking." She smiled lightly at him but it seemed a bit forced.
"So?" She questioned. "Do you have any idea whats going on here? While you were out I had been trying to figure out what the problem was but I've come up empty handed." She looked a bit frustrated at this unsolved problem and Eren could tell she was eager to for any leads that would help them figure it out.

He was debating telling her about the attacks, leaning towards just blowing it off as being too tired, but then sighed knowing Hanji wouldn't let him go until he told her at least something. He looked at Hanji who was eagerly waiting for him to speak. He ran a hand through his shaggy hair.
"Well... actually I haven't been feeling the best."

Hanji nodded, expecting him to continue. He sighed again.
"A few months ago I started getting fevers once and awhile, but recently they have been coming more frequently."
Hanji nodded again, pulling out a small notepad and a pen, seemingly writing down what Eren had just said. She looked up at him again.

"Anything else?"
Eren thought about it for a bit, deciding to just tell her everything. Maybe there was something wrong with him. He pushed away the thoughts of just bothering everyone with his problem to the back of his mind.
"Hanji-san, I.. I haven't been doing so good. I think somethings wrong but I didn't want to bother anybody because I thought it was no big deal. Lately its been getting worse though." He paused to take a sip of his tea, clearing his throat and then continuing.

"It started out with mild fevers and feeling exhausted enought to pass out for a few hours. I thought i was just over-tired and a bit stressed. But lately the fevers come and go a few times every other day. On top of that they are incredibly painful. Almost as hot as a titans skin." Remembering the feeling of transforming into a titan he added.

"Kind of like my body wants to transform into titan form but it can't.." Hanji had been nodding along and frantically writing everything down. She seemed very interested in what she was writing and Eren leaned back on the head board of the bed, sipping at his tea while he waited for her to finish. She eventually set down the notepad and pen and looked at Eren excited that she had new information on the subject.

"Great!" She exclaimed. "Well, not great for you, but great for me now that I have some solid information." She seemed a little too happy Eren had these problems. Of course, he knew she was worried about him but she couldn't help be thrilled about solving this problem as well. Eren held back a chuckle at Hanjis frantic behaviour.

"I'm going to go back to the lab and work on a few things. Since you're already healed and good to go you can leave anytime. I'm sure Levi has a few jobs for you by now." Remembering he had been in bed for a good 5 days, he mentally groaned at the thought of all the work Levi had piled up and ready for him to get to. Smiling slightly at Hanji as she picked up her stuff ready to leave.
"Okay, thanks" he said.

Hanji just waved at him brightly before grabbing all her items and walking briskly out the door. Eren let out a sigh, flinging his legs off the side of the bed and standing up. He was a bit wobbily on his feet having been laying down for so long. He regained his balance quickly, deciding to go back to his room to grab a fresh pair of clothes and take a shower. It was still really early so he had some time before he had to report to Levi. He left the medic room, heading for his own.

***
Levi had been filling out paperwork for the majority of the morning. He had hoped Eren would wake up soon so he could order him to get more tea. He was starting to get a headache and decided to lay down for a bit. He walked over to his bed, uncharacteristicly flopping onto it as his face planted into the soft white pillows.

He sighed and rolled onto his side curling into himself a bit as he looked at the plain wall he faced. Since he was alone in his room he let his walls down, knowing no one would see him like this. He wanted to wrap his head around what he was feeling. When he saw Eren it had honestly scared him. He knew Eren was okay now though and that had been a bigger relief than he expected.

He didn't even realize he hadn't been sleeping much, his mind was consumed with that damned brat. It was frustrating. He had been over it again and again why he felt like this and he couldn't come up with a sane conclusion. Did he have feelings for the boy? He really didn't want to believe he did, but that was what seemed to be the case. Thinking about it more he groaned and rolled over to lay on his other side, facing the rest of his room.

How did he come to have feelings for a kid? When Eren had joined the Scouting Legion, he had looked up to Levi. He was always following him closely. No matter how Levi treated him he would always just smile and his eyes would always shine so bright. His lovely green eyes always showed so much emotion, Levi often felt as though he was drowning in all the emotion they captured. Of course, he didn't show any sign of this to the boy, but he couldn't help feel this way. He guessed it was a gradual thing that he never realized himself.

Maybe he always liked Eren in some way or another and it just grew to this. He sighed, annoyed he hadn't realized his own feelings but decided he wasn't going to let Eren know of them. He was going to lock them up behind his walls. With that figured out, Levi decided to take a nap, still feeling tired from not getting enough sleep and then sleeping on a hard chair. He dozed off shortly.

***
It wasn't as early in the morning anymore, and people had started getting up and going to work or to the mess hall to eat. Eren had done a quick morning routine, heading down to the mess hall to grab a quick bite to eat. He said hello to his friends, chatting with them quickly and reasurring them he was okay from the incident before. Smiling brightly so they would see he was indeed okay and stop giving him worried glances, before saying he needed to go report to Levi Heichou and that he would talk to them later.

They said there goodbyes and Eren walked over to the kitchen part of the mess hall in the back of the room, deciding to make some tea for Heichou as he would probably be ordered to get some anyways. He was proud to say he was getting good at making tea. Even for Levi Heichous standards. Finished with making the tea, he placed everything on a tray and headed towards Levis room. He eventually reached his destination, trying to balance the tray with his left hand and his knee he knocked on the door with his free hand. Quickly grabbing the tray and regaining his balance he called out.

"Heichou?" There was no awnser. After waiting for several minutes with still no response he decided to peak inside. Balancing the tray on his knee once more he quickly opened the door and grabbed the tray. Pushing the door open more with his foot he peaked his head inside. Heichou wasn't at his desk, but after scanning the room he spotted his asleep on his bed. That was odd of him. Not thinking much of it, he walked inside and set the tray on his desk. He thought he should wake Heichou up, knowing he would get mad if the tea went cold, but he feared him also getting just as angry for waking him up.

Deciding to take the chance he slowly approached him. He noticed that even in his sleep his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, weird he didn't notice this before, although he didn't really examine Levis sleeping face before. But his face was much calmer, and he looked somewhat childish. Eren still thought he was cute when asleep. He reached the end of the bed, placing a hand on his shoulder and shook him gentle like.

"Heichou? ...Heichou wake up." Eren called out again. Levi scrunched his face up and swatted at Erens hand but didn't bugde other than that. Eren replaced his hand on his shoulder again and shook a bit harder. Levi groaned a bit, rolling onto his back and squinting up at him a bit before struggling to keep his eyes open and closing them, falling back asleep. Eren sighed not realizing it would be this difficult to wake up Levi.

Who knew he had troubles waking up, just like a little kid. Eren chuckled a bit and then decided to try something else. He grabbed around Levis shoulders and lifted him up into a sitting position. This time Levis eyes opened but he still looked out of it. He looked around slowly, landing his eyes on Eren. Eren was still holding Levi up with his hands.

"Eren?" Levi said groggily. Eren cleared his throat and replied.
"Yes, sir. I was trying to wake you u- whoa!" Eren couldn't finish his sentece as Levi just groaned childishly and grabbed Erens waist pulling him down with him as Levi snuggled into him, wanting to go back to sleep.
"S-sir?" Eren questioned.

"Sleepy." Was all Levi managed to mumble before falling back to sleep. What was happening? Eren thought this was really cute but still. He needed to get up and wake Levi up as well, but he couldn't get out of his iron grip. Even asleep he was still as strong as ever. Sighing as he continued to stuggle but it was no use. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door and it swung open.

"Leeeevi! I talked to Eren this morning and I wanted to discuss some things with you" Hanji peeked her head inside and spotted Levi in bed asleep, arms wrapped around Eren as he snuggled into his chest, and a startled Eren.
"Oh-hoh." Hanji exclaimed, walking into the room and swinging the door shut.
"What's going on here?" She asked looking at Eren amused. Eren just sighed again and ran his hand through his hair.
"U-um... a little help?"
