With Levi sleeping, hopefully. Erwin decided it was best if he slept as well. Slowly walking towards his room he heard noises coming from the hall to his left. Figuring out that it was coming from Levi's room. He walked quickly to the room, hoping it was nothing serious. Once at the door he opened it carefully and took a look at the bed. Seeing that nothing was occupying it, he surveyed the room and saw a blob in the corner. Walking slowly towards it he realized that Levi was whispering things.
"I'm sorry."
"Why does this have to happen?"
"Why me?"
Erwin quickly rushed over to the corner and pulled the blanket off Levi. He was not prepared for what was in front of him. The smaller man had bloody arms and a tear stained face. Levi looked up and then fell into Erwin's arms. He picked the smaller male up without struggle and carried him to the bathroom. Placing him on the counter, Erwin opened the cabinet and pulled out bandages.
"Really Levi? Why now?" He questioned the raven.
Levi barely made eye contact with Erwin when he answered.
"I couldn't save him." He whispered.
Erwin looked at Levi in confusion.
"Couldn't save who?"
"Eren. I couldn't save him."
Erwin cleaned Levi's wounds and put peroxide on them, then wrapped them tightly. He then picked Levi back up and carried him up to his own room. Placing him gently in his bed, he sat at his desk and watched Levi carefully. He slowly drifted into sleep, fully aware of what might happen when he awoke.
-The next day-
Levi woke up and noticed Erwin sleeping at his desk. He picked up a blanket and grew it over Erwin then walked downstairs to make breakfast. He somehow knew where everything was, then again he spends a lot of time at this house. Pulling out the eggs and a pan he turned on the stove. Cracking each egg carefully he ended up with a plate full of scrambled eggs.
Erwin woke up and immediately looked at his bed. Empty. He jumped straight out of the chair and ran downstairs, the smell of eggs hit his nose. Once at the kitchen he saw Levi standing at the counter, a plate of eggs on front of him.
Levi looked up from his plate, "Oh, hey Erwin."
"Hey." The blonde replied.
"Did you rest well?"
Levi nodded, spooning more egg into his mouth. Erwin grabbed some bread and began making himself some toast. An art only known to the entire world. As soon as the bread was finished cooking, he sat down across from Levi.
"Sorry about last night…" Levi trailed off.
Erwin sighed, "Its fine, just imagine if you were at your own house."
"Yeah. But I am genuinely sorry for everything I have ever done to you. I mean, last year when I lashed out at you…"
"Don't worry about it Levi. I honestly don't mind." Erwin smiled.
Levi let out a sigh of relief, then sank back into his chair. Erwin continued eating while Levi watched him, for some reason he felt uncomfortable. They sat in silence, until Levi began to scratch his arms.
Erwin quickly ran to his side and grabbed his hands, "Levi please, don't."
Levi looked into Erwin's eyes, his own filled with sorrow.
He whispered, "I don't think I can."
Erwin stood up and let go o the shorter male. Brushing himself off he walked over to his calendar.
Scanning it over he smiled, "Well Ackerman, today we are heading over to the boarding school to check the kids. Make sure they are healthy, and if not treat them."
The raven sighed and nodded, "I'll go get changed then."
Standing up he began to walk upstairs, Erwin followed since he had to do the same. The shorter male walked to the room he was staying in and pulled out some clothes. He finally settled on a now extremely baggy My Chemical Romance shirt, skinny jeans and some black converse.
Erwin opened his closet and pulled on his normal work clothes and his signature doctors coat. He then looked in his closet for a pair of dress shoes and socks. Afterwards he walked back downstairs and waited for Levi to walk down.
After doing what he needed in the bathroom, he slowly walked back downstairs. Waiting for him at the bottom was a smiling Erwin. Levi gave a slight smile and walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. After grabbing a bottle he walked back over to Erwin.
"Can I bandage your arms?" The blonde asked.
Levi looked down at his arms and sighed, "If you must."
Erwin grabbing the bandages and quickly wrapped the thin, scared arms. They walked out the door in silence. The drive to the boarding school was silent except for the sound of the radio.
