Eruri The Happiest That I Could Ever Be (Lemon)

Part 4 The Surgery

Time Skip To Surgery

We were all in Hanji’s basement prepping for the operation, this is now my third time sanitizing the utensils and the operating table. Hanji was prepping Erwin, giving him medication to help somewhat with the pain and something else to slightly paralyze him to help keep him from moving. Erwin entered the room with Hanji, Nile, and Mike. Erwin was just in his boxers since the operation could get messy. Hanji nervously clapped her hands together, “Okay, let’s get to it. Erwin lie on the table please and lay on your stomach.”

He was able with a little help from Mike, with his wounded arm slightly off the edge with a tray table of sorts was there for I'm sure to catch the flesh that would be taken off. All I could do was comfort him in this moment, Hanji had everything ready, “Erwin before I start, I just want to say from all of us, that we are sorry. Mike…Nile, get in position.”

Nile held on to Erwin's legs while Mike got on the table from the other side to wrap his arm around his wounded arm, with the other around his waist pressing his face against Erwin's back with a death grip putting his weight on Erwin so he can’t buck. Erwin took my hand and I brought it to my lips and said that its okay, with that he wraps his arm around my head to have his hand in my hair, he pulled me to were our foreheads were touching. He finally broke having a tear stream down his face. “Levi, *sniff* I’m- I’m scared.”

I start to feel the same for him, but we needed to be strong but a tear still fell from my face, but I kiss him to try to distract both of us just a little and I wipe his tears away, “I know, I am too. But we are going to get through this alright.’’

He nods, okay Hanji I'm ready, let’s get this done before the drugs wear off.”

She nods and grabs her supplies to the table first grabbing the surgical saw, then the scalpel. She sits the saw down and takes a deep breath before cutting into Erwin's flesh with the scalpel. His grip tightens around my neck and he lets out whimpers of pain but doesn’t move, she cuts on what she is planning on to saw to make it even.  She finishes with her clean expert cuts of precision, she sit down the scalpel to grab the saw, “guys, get a good grip on him I’m going to need all the strength you have.”

They get prepare for the worst, and get ready. Once the sawing starts, all that could be heard were blood curdling screams. “Hold Him Down!”

“I'm trying!”

“Ahh! Please It Hurts, It Hurts, LEVI!”

Screaming with tears pouring down his face, and feeling like he is pulling my hair out, but I didn’t care. He was screaming for me, for me to help with the pain, I didn’t know what to do, tears pouring down my face, “Hanji Stop! Can’t you see your hurting Erwin! STOP!!”

“I can’t Levi, hell loose too much blood if we stop now!”

I wrap my arms around Erwin's shoulder; he is shaking from pain, “Just Fucking Stop! Oh God Erwin, I’m So Fucking Sorry, I’M SO SORRY!”

“Levi I love you.”

“I love you too, I'm right here, I never leave your side, I’m here.”

I kiss his forehead and look up to see Nile hugging on Erwin's legs, I felt that everything was in slow motion, Nile was crying, scream crying. Mike was wrapped around Erwin's back with some blood on his arm; he was gritting his teeth nuzzling himself in Erwin's back, tears streaming down his face. Hanji's lips were quivering but any tear that shed was quickly wiped off so she could have clear vision of this operation. I was screaming crying as well as Erwin but it was almost over, Hanji put down the surgical saw and started the burning to stop the bleeding. Due to the precision minor cauterizing sufficed, it still hurt Erwin but it seemed that the worst was over. Hanji signaled Nile and Mike that they could get off of him and help him sit up. Once they do she begins bandaging. I put my hand on her shoulder making her look at me, “Thank you Hanji.”

Once she is finished she wraps her arms around me giving a heartfelt embrace, “You're welcome, Levi.”

We all cleaned up and Nile said his goodbyes, Mike soon following. Hanji and I get Erwin into the spare bed in her basement which I also sanitized. We laid him down and he quickly fell asleep. I went to the chair by his side to also sleep with my fingers intertwined with his.
