Twitch. Eren felt a very small jerk in his hand. Twitch. Again. Natalie and Eren had been sitting with Levi for half an hour and hadn't left his side. Twitch. Eren's eyes widened and he looked at Levi's face with baited breath. Levi's eyelids twitched ever so slightly just like his ice cold hand.

"Levi?" Eren cried out only to receive a hand over his mouth and a sharp 'shh' from Natalie.

"He probably has a splitting headache, don't yell." She whispered. They watched in silence as Levi bit by bit, started to wake up. He moved his head around a little bit with a pained look on his face and Eren gripped his hand tightly. A small groan croaked from Levi's throat and his eyes blinked open into slits. His eyelashes were encrusted with dirt and salt from crying.

"Levi?" Eren whispered, his heart thumping in his chest.

"E...Er..en?" His voice was husky and sounded very sore. Levi thought he was dreaming of Eren, Eren couldn't really be there.

"Shh, don't try and speak..." Natalie said softly to Levi. Eren was trembling violently all over and Natalie looked at him in concern. "Eren, remember what I said... just calm down. He'll. Be. Ok. Levi?" She turned back to look at Levi. "Are you ok?"

"Er...e..n..." His eyes didn't focus and he seemed to not even hear Natalie's question. His vision was hazy, he could barely make anything out. He couldn't tell whether the hand holding his was real or not. He could just about see the shape of Eren, just a haze of colour.

"Levi, are you ok?" Natalie repeated her question softly.

"Er...en..." He let out a sore sounding cough and Eren shook even more, not that it seemed possible. His eyes were wide, his breathing was erratic and he felt sick. He stared at Levi's unfocused eyes, tears rushing in torrents down his blanched cheeks. Natalie looked at Eren in concern.

"Sweetheart look at me, you need to calm down." She said seriously. She reached out and turned Eren's face to look at her. "Ok? You're strong, you've been INCREDIBLY brave down here, Levi will be SO proud when we tell him everything you've done. Keep it going, you just need to try and calm your breathing down and maybe you should go over there for a minute while I speak to Levi, ok?" She said softly and pointed about a metre away. Eren shook his head, physically unable to make a sound. "Please. Sweetie I'll look after him, you can trust me." She gently pried Eren's hand from Levi's. She got up and pulled Eren to his feet. The boy was trembling all over and Natalie led him a couple of metres away. She sat him down against the wall. From where he was he wouldn't be able to see Levi if Natalie blocked his view. "Listen to me, just try and breathe normally and keep warm. She pulled Eren's coat around him tighter. "I will make him better, you have my word Eren. He will be ok. I swear." She said before getting up and going back over to Levi.
