Survivor's Tears (Levi X OC) ⚠️!TRIGGER WARNING!⚠️

7. TRUST

We got him out of there immediately, making sure not to give him anymore pain than necessary. I rushed to get some 1st aid kit and immediately started treating his wounds. The squad started conversing about it while I focused on Eren's hand. He hissed in pain as I cleaned it.

"Sorry, I'll try and be more gentle." I apologised softly and blew on his wounds as if it'd heal it.

"Owowowowow!!!!"He cried in pain as I poured some alcohol to clean the wound.

"Sorry..."I whispered. I didn't realise but Levi was stood behind me listening. When he heard Eren complain, he grabbed hold of Eren's hand and started treating it himself, rather harshly if I do say so myself.

"OW!!!!! THAT HURTSS!!!!!!!" Eren cried. Levi didn't stop.

"It was you who complained when being treated gently." Levi mumbled. It warmed my heart to see he was protecting me but why scold the kid.

"Captain." I said slowly.

"Captain Levi." I said a little louder, there was still no response.

"Captain Levi!" I said even louder than earlier.

"Levi!" It was pretty damn loud yet he turned a deaf ear to it.

"Levi Ackerman, let Eren go right now." I ordered sternly. Levi finally let Eren go and turned to face me with a glare.

"What did you say?" He asked. I didn't lose to him. I glared back with just as much intensity.

"Let Eren go. You're hurting him, when it shouldn't hurt that much." I replied.We continued to glare at each other, we looked quite pissed at each other but at least on my side I was freaked out. I can't believe I just called him by his name like it's the most natural thing ever. Of course it was but it'd been ages since I'd called him by his name.

Levi let Eren go.

"Great, thank you for letting Eren go Captain Levi." I said with a smile, it was odd for me to smile since, just before we were glaring at each other. I took Eren's hand and blew on his hand as gently as I could.

"Did he hurt you a lot?" I asked Eren in a hushed tone. Eren looked from Levi and back to me.

"It's okay. You can tell me. He can't do anything to you." I reassured Eren while giving Levi another glare.

"I sure can." Levi retorted.

"Try and go past me if you dare." I challenged. He just ignored me and left.

"Captain." Eren called out meekly.

"Hmm?" I asked as I stayed focused in bandaging his hands.

"Would you mind me asking something?" I nodded and answered the question lingering in his mind.

"I don't hate him. Even if he might not like me." I said with a sad smile on my lips.

"Huh?" He was confused and most likely wanted me to tell him the reason behind it.

"Why though? You're one of the nicest people I've ever met, and the strongest person by far." He sounded so genuine. I ruffled his hair and smiled.

"I'm not the perfect person you think I am, I'm not the strongest person you think I am..." My eyes trailed off to Levi, he had a stoic face but he looked happy being with his squad. There was only a few things I wanted, meeting my father and Levi being happy together with me. I turned to face Eren again, I saw him look upset.

"Don't get too attached to me Eren...I have a bad habit of leaving people who care about me as well as those I care about." I said sadly. I'd just finished patching up his hands.
