LLL- Hey... So i'm back. It's IB Exam time. Im tired. I don't study very well but i'm still really tired.

Levi- No one cares about your problems.

LLL- that hurt."

Levi- the truth hurts. Just like the truth that you dont own snk/aot

LLL- yeah... :( I know

The journey back inside of the wall is more slow moving than it had been leaving because of Levi's injury. Eren kept him from taking down titans. This caused him many hits to the face, but eventually the two are back inside of the gates and putting up their gear.

"Does it feel OK?" Eren says quietly.

Levi shoots him a glare. "If you ask me that question one more time..." Eren shrugs and leans against the wall when his things are put up. "You don't need to wait for me."

"I know." Eren doesn't move. Levi finally finishes and they exit together. The two pass many sites of reconstruction that is being done after the huge titan battle. People are constantly busy. There is somewhat of a black market going around as well that sells stolen food being that there really isn't enough. Back at the house there isn't really anyone around.

Levi goes into his room and sits while Eren goes to do his own thing. His room is quiet and stuffy. He walks to the window and pulls it open. He stands there and takes his picture of Petra out of his pocket. Levi then looks down at the amateur splint Eren wrapped around his leg that isn't helping too much and then back at the photo. "You understand. I know you do. You were always the only one who understood me without question. I think he does to." He lets out a huff. He normally talks to the picture, hoping for an answer back. "And no one understands. I hurt too." Shoving the picture back in his pocket, he leans on the window seal and feels the breeze. The window doesn't look out to much but the back of the house. There is an alley but he can still see the sun is setting. The two were out on duty for quite a while. There is a knock at the door and Levi turns his head just enough to see Eren and another man out the corner of his eye.

"What?"

"I.. uhm... I bought a doctor."

This makes Levi turn around completely, looking somewhat furious. "Leave."

"But..."

"Leave!"

Eren appears taken aback by this statement. The doctor does not speak a word before turning around and exiting the scene. "He can help," Eren explains.

"I don't want it."

He steps up in slight anger. "I don't give a damn what you want! It's what you need!"

Levi's eyes widen in surprise. He's never had anyone speak to him that way. Petra did once, but he snapped back and she never did so again. Levi sits on his bed, eyes making direct contact with the floor in defeat. "Fine."

Eren is surprised by the level of difficulty to get Levi to comply. Not that hard. He runs out, catching the doctor before he can get too far and brings him back to the room. The man kneels on the floor in front of Levi, wrapping his leg up tightly. Eren leans against the room door while Levi looks out of the window at the darkening sky. Down stairs a few people have entered the house but there is no telling who it is.

"So you're Levi, huh?" The doctor states, trying to make conversation.

Levi says nothing.

"I've heard a lot about you. You really do some amazing things. I forgot it's possible for you to get injured. You're practically immortal. You and that Mikasa girl. If all men were as strong and heartless as you we'd probably beat the titans." This stings Levi, but he shows no sign of it. Instead he feels the sudden urge to knock the mans teeth into his stomach. Before he can make any actions Eren jumps from his position, his fist practically going down the doctor's throat.

"You asshole! How could you say such vile things! Levi has more heart than anyone on that field. He is our leader. He would risk his life for ours."

The doctor wipes the blood off of his mouth with a jeering smile. "You say that but why is he sitting here now? Thousands of people have died in the scouting regiment but I'm sure he has saved his own hide plenty of times."

Eren's eyes are full of hatred as he cannot think of any words to say. He lunges across the floor and lands on top of the man, showering him in punches. "Damn you!" Footsteps are heard coming up the steps. Connie and Jean rip Eren off of the man.

"What the hell, Eren. What's gotten into you?" Connie yells, holding on to both of his arms while Jean helps the doctor off of the floor.

Eren doesn't respond to his friend. "Get out!" He addresses the doctor with venom in his voice.

"But my payment."

"Take still having your life as payment before you fucking leave without it!"

The doctor scrambles out of the door and Eren pulls roughly away from Connie. He looks at Levi, who is still looking out of the window as if the entire play of events never even occurred. "Out." The leader states plainly. No one disobeys him, exiting the room, except Eren.

"That guy was wrong. I shouldn't have brought him here to..."

"It's fine," Levi interrupts. "Don't worry yourself with it. Just go. I'm tired."

Eren's heart sinks and he walks out of the room, leaving the wounded man. Slowly, he walks down the stairs, his still flaring anger absorbing every creek. As he reaches the last step he is face to face with Mikasa and Armin.

"Hey guys."

"Hey. Are you OK? You don't look it." Mikasa tells him.

"I'm fine... Just tired is all."

Armin tilts his head curiously. "But you're going the wrong way. I'm sure your bed is upstairs."

"Oh. Right. I'm going to get some water first."

"Ok. You better go to sleep tonight." Mikasa warns with a glint in her eyes.

He puts his hands up in defense, showing fear of his sister. "OK. I will."

With that the three pass one another and proceed to their destinations. Eren goes into the kitchen and sees Hange asleep with her face down at the table. Eren walks to the faucet and runs himself a cup of water.

"UGHHHHHHH!"

The unexpected and scary moan makes him flench, dropping his cup into the sink. He turns to Hange, where the strange sound originated. "Uhm, are you alright?" She lifts her head and Eren sees multiple cuts on her hands. "What happened?!"

"It has been more than 12 hours and the blood is not working!"

Eren shrugs. "It was just a guess. I wasn't sure if that was really the answer.

"Ughhh!" She throws her head back onto the table with a thud. Eren raises an eyebrow and decides that now isn't the best time to be in the kitchen. Quietly, he makes his way upstairs without even getting any water. For hours he lies in his bed, tossing and turning with thoughts of Levi. Guilt still violates him after everything that the sick doctor said to Levi. He stressfully rolls over and smothers his face into the pillow. He wants to scream but he knows the thin piece of fabric won't suppress any sound or relieve his anger at that.

With a last resort method to calm himself, he grabs a long towel and walks down the hall and into the bathroom. It is late and everyone is in a snoring deep sleep so he knows that the shower will not wake anyone. He turns the knobs so that the water starts, hot and steaming. He strips his clothes off and steps into the tub, pulling the shower curtain closed. Eren closes his eyes and steps under the running water, letting it rinse all of his stresses down the drain. He sighs a relaxing groan as he runs his fingers through his hair.

"Does it feel that nice?"

He freezes in surprise at the voice. He does not respond to the question but steps up to peek out of the shower. Levi sits on the toilet casually and Eren covers his mouth with his hands, suppressing a yell. He pulls the shower curtain almost up to his mouth despite nothing really being revealed to begin with. "What.. Why are you in here?!"

"I couldn't sleep," he says in a monotone, looking Eren in the eye.

"You couldn't have gone anywhere else!? Or waited at least!?"His voice is kind of distressed, but simply from shock.

Levi looks away now. "No."

This answer causes Eren's thoughts to freeze. He has nothing to come back with. He leans back into the shower and tries to handle his business as if no one is around.

"Eren."

He peeks around the curtain again, ready to answer anything and not exactly liking the silence. "Yes?"

"Do you think I'm heartless?"

"No. Of course not."

"Immortal?"

"No one is immortal."

Levi says nothing else.

"Just ignore people. They are too ignorant to understand."

"Is that what it is?" Eren doesn't reply but leans back into the shower, finishing up. He isn't exactly in the best state of mind anymore to spend a lot of time in the shower. He turns the knobs and grabs the towel off of the top of the rod. He wraps it around his waste and steps out. The bathroom is steaming from the hot water and has become much more silent now. Levi sits on the toilet, one leg wrapped in a tight compress. "So Mikasa, do you like her?"

"What?" He is shocked by this question. "What do you mean?"

"Feelings. Do you have strong feelings for her."

"Uh... No..?"

"Is it because she is really strong and can be scary?"

Eren smiles at the thought of this side of Mikasa. "No. That's not why. I grew up with her. She saved my life as I did hers. She's my sister and I'd just feel weird if I felt anything more than that for her."

"Oh," Levi mumbles. He stands up, facing Eren, the two only a few centimeters apart. Eren's body in it's entirety is dripping wet. The actual presentation of Eren does not phase Levi in the slightest but his thoughts cannot seem to stray from the fact that they are so close. With no real thought of his actions, Eren leans closer. He rests his chin just between Levi's eyebrows, close enough so that his lips touch his forehead. Levi feels Eren's hand travel to the nape of his neck. Levi closes his eyes, not debating the action. He lifts his hand, reaching for Eren's waist. When he makes contact he pulls back immediately, almost falling backwards before Eren catches. His heart is beating furiously and his eyes are wide with shock of the situation.

In a swift movement he starts walking out of the bathroom. Eren grabs his wrist and he stops walking, unable to actually move at the touch. With both having intense thoughts, Eren's grip weakens and he lets go. Levi rushes out of the steam filled bathroom. Eren sits on this toilet, rubbing his face with his hands, all new stresses taking place.

LLL- Yeah... It's slow moving. Sorry but please review. /)_(\

Hange- OOOO i think it's getting interesting! Review
