Chapter 6
Notes: Thank you everyone for the feed backs last chapter! I'm sorry that it felt a little rushed/forced it was because when I was writing it at the time I had no idea what I was doing nor where I was going with it *sighs* and I just never really felt like going back through and fixing it. I might do that at a later date, but not any time soon. I was afraid that I wouldn't get to post till some time later this week due to the fact I was stuck at a house with no WiFi, and couldn't get back to my dorms. Lucky for you the weather heated up and the ice melted allowing me to make the 6 hour drive back here! Yay! so anyway I do hope you enjoy this chapter and sorry if things cut in and out, this chapter was a little forced as well since I couldn't come up with how I wanted it to go or anything. Point out anything that might seem off or that I need to fix at a later date.
Eren's POV
I haven't been left in the same room with him for more than five minutes, and he is already giving me this death stare. I am sitting on my bed looking anywhere but his face, I take much interest in the white walls of this room, of the window, and of the clothes scattered around the floor.
He finally sighs setting his things on the opposite bed, a look of disgust written on his face as he scans the room. Of course I see nothing wrong here since it is rather clean as of right now, if I was left alone for another week, I couldn't have defended that. I mean there was only a couple pants and shirts on the floor, an open soda can on the desk, and a few wrappers littering the desk top as well.
"Alright brat, first rule if we are rooming together," He looks at me dead on, a glare that stopped my blood cold, "You have to keep this fucking room clean, and if I so much as see trash I will skin you alive and feed you to the others."
Huh?! I gulped loudly staring back into the gray eyes. He sighed again pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I don't want to explain to you again, don't mess up the room." With that he turned back to his stuff carefully unfolding his clothes, and set them on the bed just as carefully. I silently watched him not sure how to respond to his presence in my room. I mean I haven't talked to him since I began my stay here, and now here we are forced to share a room, for who knows how long!
"Take a picture it last longer, you know." He suddenly says not once looking up form what he was doing; I blushed just now notice how long I was staring so openly.
"Sorry," I mumbled running my hand through my untamed hair, "I'll leave you be so you can get settled in." I said backing out of the room awkwardly, "See ya."
Later that night
It was the first night we spend together, God help me, it was awkward at first trying to get ready for bed, and not bumping into each other, but we somehow managed. The only thing that went wrong was when I went to leave my clothes on the floor, which was a big no.
"Oi, Brat!" Levi said his gray blue eyes narrowing into slits, "Pick your clothes up and put them into the laundry hamper." I was going to say some smart ass comment back till his cold glare cut it short.
Now here we are comfy in bed ready to go to sleep, not saying a word to each other backs turned facing one another. My eyes were slowly drifting shut, but I was not really ready to go to bed since I have no real idea about my roommate, but I couldn't do shit about it when my body was surrendered to sleep. Hopefully it will be a peaceful night for both of us.
Levi's POV
I looked at the clock that sat on my night stand, the red digital numbers read 1:30, I sighed rolling onto my back that is when the whimpering started. I turned to look at the sleeping body next to me to see the brat curled into a ball sweat glistening on his forehead, and a painful expression on his face. I wanted to go wake him up, but thought better to let the dream ride into a peaceful one, I was dead wrong to let that happen.
Eren's POV
I was 6 at the time playing up in my room, waiting for mom to tuck me into bed. It was already late as it was but I begged her to let me stay up for a while longer, but that seemed forever ago. So I made my way down the stairs to see where she was at, it was at that time a muffled scream entered my ear.
I turned to the direction of the scream and made my way to the kitchen. There was my mom huddled on the floor, my dad standing over her knife in hand, an expression on his face that I have never seen, or care to see again. Blood dripped from the knife to his hand as he made his way over to my mom.
"Carla you have been so mean to me lately, spending time with that rot boy of yours." His voice was clam as if what he was doing was normal.
"P-P-Please leave me be, I-I-I haven't done anything wrong." My confident mother, now stuttered at the face of this man.
But he wouldn't have any of it he lunged at my mother knife in hand, digging it into her stomach. She scream at the pain as the knife buried itself into her body, he whipped the knife out and blood sprayed everywhere. She feel to the floor, and her eyes meet mine. She stretched her hand into my direction her face pained with sorrow and horror, "run my baby." She managed to say before dying right there on the floor.
I screamed as the man now turned to face me, his face covered in blood. I ran as fast as I could just like my mom said to my feet carrying me away from this man. But I was too slow, as he closed in on me, I let out another bloody scream.
"-ren! Eren!" I heard a shout from above me, my body being shaken. My eyes flew open and I was faced to face with someone. I screamed again my throat raw, as I tried to scramble away from this person my face wet from tears that were slipping from my eyes. Could I not wake up from this nightmare?
Levi's POV
The brat let out a bloody scream, as he fought off something in his dream. I jumped from my bed and made my way towards his.
"Eren!" I called shaking him a bit, "Eren wake up! It's a dream!" He fought back at me trying to get whatever in his dream away. "Eren, Eren!" I called again shaking him a little firmer. His eyes flew open and looked at me, and all I saw was pure terror. He pushed away from me and went up his bed as far as he could away from me, tears rushing down his face. He huddled in the far corner, mumbling on how sorry he was for everything.
I was about to make a move towards him, but that is when the door was slammed open. There stood captain eyebrows.
"Levi what is going on?" He said as he saw Eren cowering in a ball, and my hand out stretched towards him.
"He was having a nightmare so I woke him up, this is the end result so far," I replied as I got up and moved back to my own bed to let eyebrows go at it.
"A nightmare you say?" I nodded as I watched him get close to Eren, "Do you know what it was about?"
I shook my head in reply, "No but he does keep saying how sorry he is for everything, I have no idea though so don't ask me."
Erwin frowned at my words and then sat on Eren's bed and mumbled to him something, but I couldn't hear it.
After what seemed forever Eren looked up from his fetal position on the bed at Erwin and nodded something at him. Eyebrows looked back at me, "I'm taking Eren with me for the night, until Petra gets here so they can talk." With that he easily picked him and carried him out of the room.
I was left on my own to worry about this damn shitty brat I know nothing about. I really do hope he is okay, and that I didn't mess him up to badly by waking him up from the nightmare. I felt my eyes grow heavy as I lie down on my bed. After what happened with the brat it seemed I was granted a few hours of sleep, as my eyes blinked one last time before I was pulled under.
