A: N I feel like a different person every chapter

------------------------------------------

Levi spends the most of his time in Erwin's house. He likes how it makes him feel better whenever he comes back from the hospital.

Whether they talked or Levi just sat next to him later he would come back to Erwin's house and make sure that Erwin wouldn't have to worry about anything when he'll come back home.

Levi would snuck around his small flat, he would water his plants, would clean up his closet looking at the hangers full of white and blue shirts, clean the dust from the frames on the commode with pictures of his father and him when he was younger, he even changed his sheets.

After the daily shift at work, he came to the hospital at night, feeling the tiredness getting over him but he needed to see Erwin, just know if he is getting any better. Spending everyday money on the bus and freezing every day at the bus stop was worth seeing Erwin with his skin finally getting warmer colors.

Erwin would wake up almost Everytime whenever Levi came, they exchanged gazes, both seeing that none of them is feeling too well. Levi wasn't always good with words, seeing Erwin lying weak made him say nothing, he would just sit with him because he knows Erwin feels worse than him anyway.

Another visit, the day was even colder, it was getting dark really early and he came straight after work. He got a small injury in the work, a few deep cuts on his hand but he hid it under long sleeves because he didn't want to talk about himself.

It was night so Levi sat next to Erwin, looked close to the healing bruise on his eye and his brow then kissed him and told him, love you, so quiet hoping that even Erwin won't hear it. Actually, it happened only once.

That night he accidentally left his coat in his armchair that now was hanging in his closet. He even brought his favorite tea that was now standing next to Erwin's favorite coffee in the kitchen. He made one cup of this for himself.

On Monday Levi admitted him that he fell asleep in his bed (a few times) and Erwin just smiled fondly and weak, mentioning his old words about living together but Levi would just tell him to rest and recover.

Erwin was recovering, bruises were getting more yellow now, scratches turned into scabs but the high fevers were coming back when his arm didn't want to heal well.

One day, Erwin's fever was so high that the doctor was afraid of his health. Levi was really scared that he could lose him. On the next day, he got better and Levi was truly delighted. It was really a relief, feeling like the stones have left his chest and his stomach when on the next day Erwin, with his hair greasy and bags under his eyes welcomed him with his own voice telling him that he would come back home soon.

Levi didn't really know when he became such a sentimental person himself.

Erwin was feeling better, at least that what he told him and the doctor. When Levi came to him on Friday after work he was able to get up and have a normal conversation with him, he was also going out. His arm was still healing, the wound was big and sometimes Erwin would move his arm forgetting that it was crushed.

The nurse was watching as Erwin with Levi's help got his sweater on, the right sleeve was hanging empty next to his waist.

"I should bring a shaver with me," Levi mumbled as his fingers rolled the right sleeve so it won't be so irritating. Erwin sat again, after spending so many days in the bed, not enable to stand up from the weakness, he had still a problem with maintaining balance. He had dizziness but he kept telling Levi that he can make it to the house.
