You and I LevixEren

Chapter 2

"Eren I don't want you over exerting yourself like that again." Mikasa said as Armin, Eren, and her walked back to the castle. Night had fallen and a dark shadow cast over the already gloomy moonlight as they finally neared their destination, shadows bouncing against the brick street. 

Eren groaned "I'm just tired. Can't I be that way once in a while?" He continued to clean off his gear and wipe sweat from his forehead. It had been a grueling long day of non stop training for all of them, but most of all him. All he could think about was clamoring into his bed and resting his head on his pillow while drift into a hopefully dreamless sleep. Well that among a few other things...

"We have no time for tired in our line of duty Eren." Mikasa briefed firmly.

"Well if it's any help Corporal Levi is lighting my load a bit and I think his mood is improving to." Eren smiled bright and earnestly as Mikasa rolled her eyes and Armin gave a neutral shrug. "Fine. I understand you two may not like him, but you should at least me more compassionate he did loose his troop and we do all know its like to lose someone close to us. And I know his personality isn't the best, but he saved me and I am forever in his debt. Besides working for his isn't all that bad, I mean it's just cleaning mostly, though he is rater picky. I just..I don't know. I want to make him feel.. better." He blushed and silently praised the sudden cover of nightfall.

Armin stopped walking and grabbing Eren's arm and gasped,  "You like Corproal Levi?"

"No I.. I just-"

Mikasa, who had walked a little I ahead of the two stopped dead in her tracks and ran back to Eren, dragging him in the wet grass and pushing him up against a near by tree. "Listen Eren, I don't care how good he ever treats you, or if you like him. DO not Ever, I mean Ever try to become close to him, more than you have already become." Her hands dug into his shoulders leaving what was sure to be bruises  "He is dangerous and he will surly shatter your heart in two. Please." She looked at him with pleading eyes. She remembered her promise, to keep him safe. She would never let him dabble in the likes of love, too distracting. 

Eren beamed again against his better judgment, "Mikasa you worry to much. Me and the Corporal? Can you imagine. Ha I thought those girls in the village would have a heart attack when they saw us together, but I would never picture you as one to think I would ever feel that way." Gently he removed her hands off his shoulders and started to walk gleefully back to the castle past exhaustion all but gone.  

Armin stood in shock of what had just happened as Mikasa shook her head and began to follow.
