When He Sees You Cry

JEAN
"(Name)?"
Sniffling, you peered upward at Jean, who was now kneeling before you. Handing you a cloth, you thanked him and cleaned your face.
"T-Thank you, Jean…"
"What's wrong?"
"I-I…"
Holding you against his chest, you continued to cry.
"I miss my brother…"
Grabbing the cloth, he dabbed your cheeks, clearing away any more tears.
"I'm so sorry (name)…just know that you'll always have me."
MARCO
Seeing the dead creature before you, you started crying. Tears fell from your face and down onto the beautiful bird.
"Oh (name)…"
"M-Marco?"
"What happened here?"
"S-S-Sally died…"
"I'm…so sorry (name), I know how much you loved this bird."
*sniffle* "Dp you think she's in body heaven?"
He hugged you tightly.
"Of course she is."
LEVI
You had just lost your best friend on the most recent mission. Having arrived back at Headquarters, you stormed into your room, slamming the door shut as you crumbled to the ground.
"(Name)?"
Levi knocked on your door but you didn't answer. Instead, he stormed inside, instantly dropping to his knees to cradle your tear-stained face.
"She's gone, Levi! She died protecting me!"
"I know (name)…I know."
"She's gone!"
You continued screaming her name, long after the tears had dried. Levi simply held you in his arms, rocking you back and forth. There was nothing he could say to heal your heart.
EREN
"No!"
You heard running into your room as Eren suddenly burst through.
"(Name)? What's wrong?!"
Teary eye, you turned around to show Eren what was in your hand.
"I-I broke my comb!"
Lips held together, Eren stepped forward to notice you were actually crying.
"Woah, hey! Why're you crying?"
"Because my comb broke! Weren't you listening?!"
"…but it's just a comb."
You then threw the broken pieces at him.
"It was my favorite comb, you insensitive jerk!"
CONNIE
"Connie, Connie!"
Turning, the bald man had no preparation as you ran into him, tears streaming down your face.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"My mom sent me a letter! I just found out that Claire died!"
You started sobbing as Connie tried figuring out who the hell Claire was.
"I am so sorry, (name)…was Claire a friend?"
"No! Claire was my plant!"
You started sobbing harder.
"…you name a plant 'Claire'?"
You smacked him across the head.
ARMIN
"Hey (name), Commander Erwin sent me to find you…?"
"Oh no! It can't end this way!"
Scrambling to open the door, Armin was surprised to find you sitting on your bed with a book held tightly in your hands. What was eve more surprising was the redness surrounding your eyes.
"(Name)! What's going on?"
*sniffle*
"My f-favorite - "
*sniffle*
" - character died!"
*sniffle*
"Aw, I'm sorry."
Sitting beside you, he read the cover smiling down at your tear-stained face.
"Is it a good book?"
You nodded.
"…will you tell me about it?"
*sniffle*
"…yeah."
REINER
It was hand-to-hand combat training, and Reiner wanted to be paired with you. The training was going fairly well until you slipped on a rock causing the bulky man's punch to land directly against your nose.
"Reiner!"
"Holy shit, I'm so sorry (name)!"
Trying to fight back the pain, it swelled into your eyes as you started to tear up.
"Oh no no, please do not cry!"
"How can I not? You fucking punched me in the nose!"
"It was an accident!"
"I know that but you still fucking punched me!"
"Hey, hey…"
Taking hold of your chin, Reiner inspected your nose, noticing it had started to bleed so he tilted your head backwards.
"It's already starting to turn purple. I'm taking you to the Medical Wing."
*sniffle*
"Will you stay there with me?"
"I wouldn't leave even if you told me to."
BERTHOLDT
"Bertholdt?"
"Yes, (name)?"
"I…I wanna go home."
Taking you into his chest, you didn't need to say anymore as the male also missed his hometown as well. Rubbing his hands up and down your arms, Bertholdt spoke very softly.
"You, me and Reiner will go home soon."
"You promise…?"
"I promise, - no, hey p-please don't cry!"
"H-how can I n-not?! We're stuck here with no idea when we'll go home!"
Holding your cheeks, he brought your noses together.
"Because I'l make sure we go home together."
ERWIN
"Oh my god! Erwin!"
"…(name)?"
Having heard Erwin had been in an accident on the last expedition to rescue Eren, you were escorted to his hospital room to see he was missing half of one arm.
"Erwin, wh-what happened?"
You walked up to him, cradling his face as you inspected his injury. His arm - his arm was really gone!
"It's for the good of humanity, (name). We had to rescue Eren."
"Does the good of humanity mean I'll lose my husband?!"
You started sobbing, dropping your head against the mattress as Erwin ran the fingers of his good arm through your hair.
"Please don't cry for me, (name). At least…I made it back alive."
Lifting your head, you leaned in to kiss his forehead.
"As long as you come back alive, we'll make this work.
