Porcelain : Levi x Reader (Royal AU)

T w e n t y F o u r : When The Party's Over

 "A?" Eren questions in confusion but you feel your heart break as you realize what he's trying to say. The King looks up at the sky, his eyes filled with tears and he slowly raises his free hand upwards. He looks as if he's stroking someone's face that no one can see but him.

"Abeli," He finally croaks before his eyes glaze over and his hand drops to the floor.

Eren's entire face fills with dread, "Dad...Dad...Dad, please, I'm begging you." He grabs onto his father's shoulders and begins to shake him as more and more tears fall from his eyes.

Hange and Armin step back from his body but Eren looks up at them in betrayal, "WHY ARE YOU BACKING AWAY!? DO SOMETHING! HE'S STILL ALIVE!"

"Eren-," Armin starts, but Levi grabs you from off the floor and throws you over his shoulder, you hadn't even felt him trying to pull you away this entire time.

Mikasa drags Eren away with all her force and he goes limp in her arms as he stares at his father's body on the floor. "Eren, please, for your safety we have to get you out of here."

He's completely out of it and doesn't respond at all as Mikasa and Levi drag the two of you out of the doors, the only people allowed through as everyone else is held back by Erwin and a bunch of other soldiers.

As Levi runs down the hall of the chapel with you over his shoulder, you can see Mikasa keeping up as she practically carries Eren's body in the same way.

You feel a tear drop from your eye as you can only see the back of Eren's body, and even from that you can tell how defeated and empty he looks.

Finally, Levi opens the door of the chapel to outside and the darkness of the world envelops you. The chapel was connected to the castle through multiple entrances so Hange and Erwin had blocked off a special one just for if this situation arrived.

"Where are we going, Commander?" Mikasa questions, but he keeps running at full speed. You're amazed that he can run that fast with you.

"Just follow me, Hange should be bringing the Queen, Historia and Zeke. Is Eren too heavy, I can carry him too." He says hurriedly, you can hear the panic in his throat. Levi was scared, he was scared that whoever was after the king was coming after you too.

"I've got him." Is all Mikasa says as they run for a few more minutes around the castle. Finally, you reach your destination and Levi kicks the door open with his foot, not too keen on letting go of your body.

Hange's office door opens under his weight and finally he puts you down. Mikasa does the same, sitting Eren down on the chair you had always trained to have your premonitions on.

Levi locks the door behind you guys quickly and stands facing it, his sword is already drawn. Mikasa stands with her back to him and faces you two, her sword is not drawn but she watches Eren and you carefully.

You watch Eren too, as he stares blankly at his hands, his father's blood is fresh and he does not move. You're not sure what to do, you don't quite know how to comfort him, especially when you feel the most responsible. How could you tell him that it would be okay, when you couldn't prevent it after giving it your all?

Someone fiddles with the door from the outside and it opens with a key, alerting Levi of who it is without them talking. You turn around to see Hange carrying the Queen bridal style, panting, she puts the sobbing woman down.

"Eren!" Carla shouts once she sees her son and he turns at the sound of her voice. He stands up and runs directly into her arms, "Mom!"

They comfort each other, as she cradles her son, her last remaining piece of her husband into her shoulder. "I'm so happy you're okay, Eren."
