Mizuki walked down the dark hallway as he tried to think of a way to get into Eren's room without anyone noticing. He paced back and forth and just as he was about to enter his own room because he couldn't think of anything a bone chilling scream rang out through the empty halls.
Eren.
Mizuki immediately started running towards Eren's room and when he saw the door open and one of the guards standing there with a gaping mouth he pushed past him and entered the room.
The sight that greeted his eyes was one Mizuki wished he never had to see.
Eren was sitting up, the bedsheet pooling around his waist and tears streaming down his flushed face. His hands were clawing at his own neck as weak, broken sobs left his lips and the other guard, the one who suggested sending Eren to the dungeon, had his hands wrapped around his wrists.
Mizuki didn't stop to think that the guard was probably trying to stop Eren from hurting himself. All he saw was Eren's tears and someone touching him and he lost it.
In quick strides he had reached them and he grabbed the guard and pushed him away from Eren, slamming him against the wall and pushing his arm against his neck.
"What the fuck did you do?" He hissed, his eyes glinting with the need to hurt, to kill whoever dared harm his love.
He had never felt such raw anger in his life.
The colour drained from the man's face as he struggled underneath Mizuki's hold. "I-I swear I didn't do a-anything."
Mizuki was sure that nothing could have stopped him at that moment. He was just so so angry, the only thing in his mind was the sound of Eren's scream and the sight of his tears.
But then he heard a whimper and the anger melted as worry overtook him. "M-Mizuki."
He let the man go who immediately covered his neck protectively and turned to walk towards Eren.
"Leave." His order rang throughout the room and the guard didn't take a second before hurrying out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Mizuki gently cupped Eren's face and wiped the tears away as Eren tried to stop his body from shaking in tremors.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Mizuki whispered softly and then Eren pushed Mizuki's hands away from his face and backed away.
"No no don't call me that." He frantically said. "You-you can't. I don't-I don't deserve it."
"What do you mean?" Mizuki asked as he forced himself to keep his hands to his side.
"I'm a horrible horrible person Mizuki. How-how could I believe even for one second that it was okay for me to be like this with you? To like you? To want to hug you? To want to kiss you? How could I think it was okay?"
