The Tyrant of my Heart

Doubts

Crystal: well a lot has happened, but I swear that you'll adore Levi in this chapter, but slightly pity him.

Remember that you may request for me to draw the characters.

Doubts

"NOOOOO!!!" Eren yelled waking up with a start. His body shook tremendously as he sobbed in complete fear. Someone ran into the room and held onto him. Eren cared not for who it was and could not see in the dark clutching tightly onto the robes of the person. "Shhh", the figure whispered holding Eren tightly and soothingly. Eren rapid breathing diminished as he began to cry wiping furiously at his tears. "Shhh", the voice muttered again hugging Eren closer and running a hand down his hair. Eren merely sniffed hugging on to dear life to his 'savior'.

Eren felt soothed and strangely calm. The person gave a familiar feeling. It was still dark outside as Eren felt his hair being played with. He sighed realizing how exhausted he still was and drifted off into a peaceful sleep, feeling safe.

Eren woke up to the morning sun glistening through the curtains. He felt so warm and comfortable in bed and desired to not get up. He caught Armin and Peter staring wide eyed. "What?" Eren said groggily. The two shima pointed next to Eren and Eren the recalled the events from a few hours ago. An arm was wrapped around his waist and following the trail he saw Levi sleeping soundly. Eren held back a squeak, and moved out of his hold. Levi only stirred slightly and continued to sleep. Armin and Peter giggled while Eren turned beet red. "It's not what it looks like", Eren blurted embarrassed. But had Levi been the one to soothe him? Well he was the only on there in his bed nonetheless.

"I've never seen him sleep so soundly", Peter said curiously nearing him. "N-No, wake him up when I'm out of the room", Eren stopped Peter. "Eren, silly goose. Anyways, let's get you dressed", Armin sighed pulling out a still cutely pouting Eren. Peter looked at Levi curiously. "Ah, it's that day today is it? No wonder you came to Eren's aid so easily. You gave Eren the room your loved one had once used when visiting with his family. And the five of us played here. I hope you'll be able to move on. I loved them to you know", Peter muttered a tear escaping his eyes and then was beginning to head to the door when Levi grabbed him.

"Peter, you have no idea", Levi looked at him with tears streaming down his face. Peter was shocked silent and even Levi sat up touching his cheeks at the unfamiliar substance he hadn't felt on his face for over 11 years on this day. Tears. Fresh and big pouring out 11 years of guilt. Peter began to cry as well keeping hands at his face before Levi stood and walked up to him and hugged him. Eren entered unnoticed and stopped in his tracks at seeing them hugging. "Prince...no...Levi...it wasn't you fault", Peter muttered. "Uh...what's going on?" Eren asked suddenly as Levi quickly released Peter and literally ran out the door.

Peter just stared at the door tears still pouring down his face. Eren felt bad at separating them. Were Levi and Peter in love and Levi was bitter because he knew he couldn't be with him? Eren went up to hug Peter. "You love him don't you?" Eren whispered. Peter drew back. "No! It's not what you think! It's just remember when I told you about the important people to Levi and I? Well today, is the 11th anniversary of their passing". Peter explained as Eren nodded in understanding. "Hey, what's going on?" Armin asked worriedly. Peter wiped at his face and said to both of them. "Come with me", Peter said.

"Well you see when the Prince was 6, I lived here with my parents who served the royal family as the cook and gardner. I was only a year younger than Prince Levi. I was running in the halls when I bumped into him and I cried because I thought he was going to be angry because I had dropped him and a plate of cookies he carried with him. But he just patted my head and laughed at my silliness and said it was fine. Right after that he introduced me to his younger siblings. Two of his most beloved people. Princess Isabel Magnolia and Prince Farlan who were 5 at the time", Peter said with such despair.
