Levi's P.O.V.

I was in the ocean with Eren, accompanying us were Hange, Armin, Mikasa, Annie, and Jean. The water was nice and clear. The color reminded me a bit of Eren's beautiful eyes. It was all fun until I realized Eren wasn't happy like the rest of us. As I was going to swim towards him to question what was wrong, he pulled something out. I came to a halt and stared at him with widened eyes as what I realized he was holding, was a knife. Why? What is he going to do with that? I tried calling out to him but I couldn't. I couldn't talk, nothing came out every time I tried. I had no voice.

My heart dropped as he brought the sharpened blade to his neck and stared at me expressionlessly. I didn't move, I was scared of what would happen if I did. Again, I attempted to yell-I tired to stop him but failed. And that was it. He slit his throat and slowly kept cutting deeper-it got deeper and deeper every time, as if trying to cut his head off. Terrified-horrified, I didn't want to see this. I didn't want to be near him. So I went underwater to swim away as fast as I could, but when I got back up for air; I was only closer to him. With his piercing Caribbean eyes, he stared at me as he was now cutting his arm off.

Now completely full of dread, I started to cry. Here I am witnessing my husband killing himself. It's gruesome and frightening, but I can't seem to leave. I closed my eyes tightly, this is a dream. It has to be, wake up.

WAKE THE FUCK UP DAMNIT!

I sobbed into my hands but then remembered, we're not alone. Rapidly, I looked around for someone-anyone to help. Although they were all too taken aback to move, like me. Turning my head back to Eren, I gasped loudly and watched as he tore the skin off his face. He then with his right hand-he scooped his right eye out with his fingers; all the while I wept and watched in horror. Another attempt at swimming away led me closer to him. I tried to shout and get away but it was no use.

So I watched. From him cutting his leg off and then skinning the rest of his body. The water moved strongly, making me move closer and closer to him. My tears couldn't stop-my cries got worse when I felt his floating limbs touch my skin. And when I saw his beautiful eyeball floating in the water, staring at me dully, it hurt so much. Soon enough, the water led me nearer. And I was now pressed against his bloody chest. He had stopped his actions and stood still. And I knew damn well I shouldn't look up. But I did.

With his one eye looking down at me, he put both his hands on the opposite corners of his mouth and tore his flesh apart. From there, I saw black.

"Levi! Are you okay?!" I heard a familiar voice say. I sat up abruptly, scaring the brunette beside me. Tears fell down my face and I wiped them instantly. I looked down just to see that my body was trembling in fear by that face. By that dreadful sight. Arms wrapped around me from behind and I felt my lover's chest against my back. His affection comforted me and I'm grateful everything was a dream. God, but did it feel all so real. Once I processed everything, I let out a long sigh before hugging Eren's arm and resting my head on his shoulder.

"Calm down, your heart is beating really fast." He told me softly before placing a kiss on my head.

"I can't..." I replied shakily and tiredly. That dream took so much out of me, it's fucking crazy.

"What happened?"

"Bad dream." Is all I said, afraid to go into more detail.

"Bad dream? Do you want to talk about it?"

"Later. It's..it's so horrible to talk about right now." I said brokenly. By the looks of it outside, talking about something so goddamn frightening in the dead of night isn't something I'd like to do right now.

"Okay then. Let's sleep?" Furrowing my eyebrows, I hesitated to respond. I don't think I can go back to sleep.

"It was that bad? Okay then. I'll stay up with you. It's okay darling. You're alright." My gaze that was somewhere else was now on him. Those gorgeous eyes of his that I adore so much stared at me lovingly. Along with that was his cute smile. For a brief moment, he kissed my cheek and withdrew, clearly waiting for a response.

"You dont have to. Go to sleep, Eren."

"No. Not if you're awake and possibly thinking about your nightmare. Let me be here for you."

"It wasn't.." It was. It was bad. And I can't deny that.

"Cat got your tongue? I'm staying up with you." He said as he then yawned. I chuckled and slightly smiled. I moved up a bit and pecked his lips before turning my face that was now resting on his chest. I hugged him affectionately as he rubbed circles on my back and returned the hug.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I responded.

Fin.
