You helped :) - DISCONTINUED

Part Twelve

Levi's POV

'You helped a lot more than you probably think.'

Why is what Armin said stuck in my head? Why can't I forget? Maybe because I can't sleep and I have nothing better to do?

What people say does get stuck in my head sometimes but not to the point where I seriously question what they mean.

Is he starving? Do his parents not feed him? Am I looking too much into this? Did his house just run out of groceries and his parents made him buy them himself for once? What the fuck is wrong? And why the fuck do I care?

Why am I thinking so much about his life? I don't even know him and I'm...worried? I'm reading into his life too much.

He's rich, why wouldn't he have food? Why wouldn't his parents feed him?

Then again, just because you're rich doesn't make everything behind closed doors amazing. I just don't know whether he's okay or not.

And even if I did, and he wasn't okay, what could I do about it? I doubt he would even want me to help if he hasn't reached out already.

Why do I care so much? It's so annoying that I care more about someone I don't know than trying to sleep. Well, maybe sleep isn't as important as someone's wellbeing.

Is he just someone to me though? Is Armin more than a someone to me?

Shut up, Levi.

It's two in the morning, go to sleep Levi. You're tired.

Armin's POV

It's two in the morning, I should go to sleep. I'm tired.

I can't yet. I should finish crying first.

What? You thought i wouldn't actually cry at two in the morning in the safety of my own room?

I'm sad. I'm tired.

I'm sad and I'm tired.

I want a hug. But my bed is empty. I don't have stuffed animals I could cry too.

I would like that.

I don't have a person to cuddle up with.

I would also like that.

I feel kind of empty myself. It's weird, but I do.

I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe a stuffie.

Or I'm missing someone. Maybe him?

I don't even know him. Why should I think about him?

Why am I thinking about him?

Maybe I would like that. Maybe...I like him?

That's weird, there's no way. I don't know Levi. He probably doesn't even like men.

Boys? Men? I'm a boy.

I'm just a little boy. I'm not a man, I never will be. My father is right. He's a real man, he would know. I should've listened to him.

Maybe then I wouldn't be crying right now. Maybe I would be happier with my life. Maybe then...my parents would like to see me alive.

Maybe then...I would like to see myself alive.

I don't want to feel empty anymore.

I want him by my side.

I would like that.

It's four in the morning, go to sleep Armin. You're eyes are tired. You have a headache.

Go to sleep. You're tired.
