Nightmares. Nothing but titans and death. His mothers death replays over and over again except this time Levi is in her place. All night Eren has been tossing and turning in his sleep. Levi stands next to the window watching him. He looks out over the district and breeze blows. He then looks back at Eren who is now breath hard and sweating. He closes the window. "Idiot. You'll catch a cold. Then I'll be stuck taking care of you." At that, he takes one last glance at Eren before walking out. As soon as the door shuts Eren sits up in his bed, hyperventalating. He looks around the dark room in a panic, calming his breaths. Eventually he lays back down in the bed, rolls over, and goes back to sleep.
In the morning he sits at the table with Connie, Mikasa, and Jean. They share stories about their say yesterday Connie stands up in his chair. "So we're picking up 2 ton debris and out of no where a variant comes our way." Connie spins around on the chair. "Jean saw it before we could even think to react. Then jumped 10 feet in the air and SWISH. He takes it out in one hit." The hyperactive boy swings his arms.
Jean. nods a pridefully and Mikasa laughs. "I think he might be exagerrating just a bit, but good job."
Levi walks down the stares and looks at Connie who is now frozen on one foot. Eren's heart skips an unhealthy number of beats and Mikasa sees all of the color flow from his face. Levi is still looking at the flying boy. He sighs and turns around. "Get down." Connie hops onto the floor and continues with this story. Eren can no longer hear anything in the room being said. His mind was scrambled by Levi's very presence. 'He's mad at me.' With this sudden thought he shakes his head viciously. 'What do I care.' Mikasa is observing him the entire time he suffers from his mental distraction. Slowly she averts her eyes only to see Jean looking at her, looking at Eren. Yeah, not the best position to be in.
Eren stands up. "I'm going for a walk." He doesn't wait for anyone's response and walks to the door. When he opens it he is standing face to face with Hange. She has a crazy and sleepy look in her eyes and Eren raises an eyebrow. "Uhm, good morning." Her eyebrows furrow an d she clutches onto his wrist, pulling him down the walk way. He stumbles as they descend the steps into Annie's cave. Hange nearly throws him onto the ground and he rolls. He looks up at the crystalized girl and sees the red that she is covered in. Apparently Hange has been cutting herself with no progress.
She grabs his wrist again. Eren is surprised by her extreme strength. The sleep ridden female pulls out a pocket knife and swipes the blade across Eren's hand. "Ouch!" he yelps. She pays him no mind and yanks him to the stone, forcefully rubbing his bloodied hand on it. Finally he breaks away from and shuffles back many feet, somewhat fearful. When she doesn't look at him he scrambles up the stairs and out of the keep.
Only a few meters from the entrance he runs into a man while squeezing the hand she cut through. She cut so deep. The man wears a military police uniform. "Are you Eren Jaeger?"
"Who wants to know?"
"Your presence has been requested." The man turns away and Eren raises an eyebrow, but shuffle along behind him. It isn't until the two end up in front of the most secure prison in the district that he becomes a bit worried.
"Who summoned me exactly?"
The man says nothing and Eren follows him into the building and down a long flight of stairs into the holding cells. The underground area is dark, the only light being provided by the occasional torch. The man stops and Eren looks into one of the cells where he sees Erwin.
"Hey Eren. How have you been?"
He is shocked seeing the leader. "Good. Fine."
"What about above ground?"
"Not so well. It's been quiet. Hange is trying to unfreeze Annie and we are reinforcing the wall but other than that we have not made any useful progress. I actually feel like we're moving backwards." Eren shrugs. "So how have you been holding up down here?"
"You know. It's no resort." Despite saying this the man looks well fed and quite fit.
Eren narrows his eyes and leans against the bars. "What do you want? Why did you send for me?"
Erwin laughs and walks out of the shadows. "I need you to do something for me. Something that I can't do while i'm in here."
"What?" Eren is now getting impatient and anxious.
"Reiner. I need you to kill him. "
His eyes widen. "Kill him?"
He steps up closer to the bars, his eyes wide. "Yes. Kill him, throw him to the titans. Get rid of him."
"No," Eren gasps. "Why do you want him to die?"
"I can't tell you that now."
"I'm not killing him. He's a part of our team."
Erwin reaches between the bars of the cell and grabs Eren's arm, yanking him in the cell. "If you won't kill, then I will get out of here and do it myself, whatever it takes." He squeezes and yanks at the cut in Eren's hand that Hange made. The pain is unbearable and he falls to his knees, biting his lip against the pain. "Come on, Eren! You know how to stop the pain don't you? Turn into a titan. Change now!" Eren closes his eyes, urging himself not to change.
Suddenly the sound of colliding metal rings through his ears. Eren opens his eyes and sees legs next to him. He then looks into the cell to see Erwin's arm cut and a blade poking a this neck, blood teasing a drip. "Release him." Eren's heart jumps in his throat at the sound of the voice. He look up to see Levi holding the blade of his 3DMG through the bars of the cell. "Or you will lose that arm." A deadly glare shows in Erwin's eye before he lets go of the hand. Eren stumbles backwards into the wall, clutching onto the injured hand. Levi says nothing more and grabs Eren's arm, hoisting him up. The two exit the prison silently. Levi takes Eren to a building that he is not familiar with.
They walk through halls and Eren sees rooms with empty infermery beds in them. Levi chooses one at the far end of the hall way. He gently pushes Eren on the bed and he rummages through a cabinet. The two still say nothing to one another. Levi hands Eren a rag. "Bite on this."
"What?"
"Bite it." Eren does not debate and puts the rag in his mouth. Levi sends him a thoughtful stare before going back to what he is doing. He bends on his knees and holds Eren's injured hand in his own. Eren's heart moves places it shouldn't at the feeling of those soft hands. Then he sees Levi pull out a needle and string. Eren snatches his hand away and leaps onto the bed.
"Whoa! Whoa! What are you about to do?"
"You need stitches."
"What? Can't we just tie it up?"
"No. You need stitches now come back here."
"No way. I hate needles." Levi does not say anything more, but he doesn't have to. A sudden guilt surges through Eren and he sits back down, holding out his hand and placing the rag in his mouth. "HaohyougknoerIwaer."
"Can't understand you."
He removes the clothe. "How did you know where I was." Levi pauses the cleaning of the needle and wound for a second but doesn't answer. He returns doing what he was doing and Eren grunts. "Were you following me?"
"Shut up." Levi sends the needle through his hand and he grunts painfully. His breathing increases as he starts to sew.
"A.. about last night-ouch!" He manages to huff out three words.
Levi continues to sew. "Shut up."
"I'm So..oorry! Ughh! I don't know what I waagh.. was thinking" A tear is in Eren's eye and he bites his lip against the pain.
Levi huffs angrily and sends the needle through his hand again.
"Ugh.. It was lateahhh! Late and I..."
Out of no where Levi stands up and presses his lips against Eren's. Both of his hands are still on the needle and Eren's hand. The kiss is gentle and lingers for a few seconds before Levi pulls back and goes back to the ground, pulling the needle through his hand again. "I said shut up." Eren's eyes are wide with shock and he nods stupidly, not even feeling the needle pierce through his hand. Eren does not notice but Levi's has trouble steadying his hands. Levi finishes the stitches in complete silence. He ties a knot and cuts the last strand off. He wipes the blood off of his hands. "Finished. Now go back to the house." Levi turns away from Eren and walks towards the door.
Before he can exit Eren is off of the bed and upon him. He has shut the door with a slam. His hands rest on the door, his arms on each side of Levi. "No... no." His voice is low and this tone brings a chill to Levi's skin. "Why are you doing this to me?"
"What do you mean?" Levi does not turn around, not wanting Eren to see his face as it reddens.
"You know damn well what I mean. You tell me you need me. Then you ignore me. You were following me today. You help me and kiss me. Then walk away like it's nothing." Eren is breathing hard, confused, upset, and overwhelmed by his feelings.
"I..it wasn't a kiss. I was shutting you up."
Levi can hear Eren's breath freeze in his throat at this statement. "See. There you go again." Eren wraps his arms around Levi, embracing him in a back hug. "Can you make up your mind?" Through this he can feel the intense rate of his heart. Levi breaks the hug, shoving Eren back. Eren lands on the bed with a crash, his heart falling sadly by the action. Unexpectedly Levi crawls on top of him and connects their lips. His fingers run through Eren's hair as their lips move together and their tongues caress. A moan escapes Eren's lips. Levi pulls back a little to breath, still close enough so that their noses are touching.
"Is this what you wanted?" He whispers.
Eren replies with more kisses. "It'll do." He huffs in between pecks. Eren nips at Levi's lips and his fingers invade his clothes.
"You want more..."
"What do you think?"
"Titan, i'm sure you have a hefty appetite." Hearing Levi speak this way makes Eren warm all over. It's something he's never seen from him. Levi pulls back completely, standing up and straightening his clothes. He walks to the door and looks back at Eren. "Fix your hair," he commands in his usual monotone. "It's a mess." With that, he walks out and Eren lays on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, wondering when he'll wake up.
Hange - Whoa Whoa Whoa. That escalated quickly..
Eren-Not really..
Hange- well everyone should review so it can escalate quickly!
Eren -Oh... right. Review
