The whole world seemed to go in slow motion as Eren dropped to his knees in front of his room-mate. His ears were buzzing, he could only hear Natalie's voice faintly as he reached out a violently trembling hand and shook Levi's leg.

"Lee?" He squeaked. "Wake up!" His voice cracked halfway through and fell silent. He scrambled forwards and touched Levi's pale and dirt smudged face. It was absolutely freezing, not surprisingly. Levi's dark circles were even worse than they had been before and his hair was a complete and utter filthy mess. Eren didn't even care about the woman lying next to Levi right now, he would slap Levi hard for that later when he woke up... If he woke up.

"Eren? What-" Natalie froze when she saw Eren holding the man's face, begging him to wake up. "Is that...?"

"L-Lee p-please wa-ake up-p..." Eren stuttered, tears streaming down his cheeks. "N-Natalil-lie, h-help m-me-e..." His voice was barely audible as he pleaded for help and Natalie hurriedly crouched down beside Levi. Her heart was thumping in her chest as she checked his pulse. It was faint, but still there.

"He's alive. We need to get him out of here." Eren could barely see her, his eyes were completely bleary with hot tears.

"W-wake him u-up!" Eren begged her, his voice squeaky and pain filled. Natalie took off her coat and hurriedly lifted Levi up into a sitting position. Carefully she pulled his shirt back on him and Eren tried to help but he was too shaky. The nurse pulled the coat around Levi's shoulders while Eren sobbed into his hands.

"Eren, listen to me honey." Natalie put a hand on his shoulder. "We will get him better, but he needs you to be strong for him right now. You need to be brave. He needs you." She said firmly. "Come on Eren, I know you can do this." Eren nodded into his trembling hands and took a deep gulp of air before lifting his face again.

"W-what d-do we-e do?" He asked helplessly. Natalie wrapped her coat around Levi fully to try and keep him warm. Suddenly, the girl beside them started stirring. Her finger twitched from it's place on Levi's lap and she groggily started moving her head. She slowly opened her eyes, the grimace on her face clearly stating a bad headache and hangover. To Eren's horror her twitching fingers clawed at Levi's crotch as she woke up.

"Ghey, ssstop touching ghim..." She slurred groping at Eren, who slapped her hand away with mighty force.

"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" He screamed and Natalie looked at him in extreme concern.

"Eren, help me lift him, we need to get him to a more private place." Natalie said gently, trying to calm Eren. The male glanced at her and nodded shakily. Levi was actually pretty heavy for his size due to all of the muscle he had, even though he had practically no fat on him. Natalie and Eren started to lift Levi and they carried him past the girl down to the other end of the path. They placed him down gently and Eren put Levi's head in his lap.

"I-If she woke up, w-will Levi wake up soon too?" Eren asked looking down into Levi's seemingly lifeless white face. Even in this state, he thought Levi looked handsome. He was starting to calm down, not because he wasn't terrified, but because Natalie was right: Levi needed him to be strong.

"Not necessarily. We needed him to get us out of here, I don't think that's an option anymore, not if he's in this state..."

"S-so what do we do?! We can't let him die here! W-"

"Eren." Natalie interrupted him sternly. "I know this is difficult, but you need to stop panicking. He's not going to die down here, we'll keep him warm and hopefully he'll wake up soon." She said calmly, trying to calm Eren down also. "Sorry but you can't hold him like that, put him on his side so that he doesn't choke if he vomits or anything..." Natalie started to roll Levi onto his side and Eren sniffed. If he hadn't been told he needed to be strong for Levi, he'd probably have broken down completely and would have done something really stupid. He knew that he would when this was all over, whether it ended well or not, he would break down, but hopefully not do anything too stupid... Eren tapped his foot repeatedly on the muddy floor, his breathing a bit too deep. He felt a cold hand settle on his ankle, stopping it moving.

"Eren, you need to calm down. You're going to have a panic attack and I can't afford to have both of you unconscious. Hang tight sweetie, we'll just have to wait for him to wake up." Eren swallowed and held Levi's icy hand in silence.

"Come back to me Lee..." He whispered and a tear dripped from his eyes onto their clasped hands.
