You and I LevixEren

Chapter 4

Levi clenched his fists tightly and stiffened before continuing to scream at one of his lead commanders. "How Could you do this to them!? After all those family's have been through, Family's may I mention that were the only good thing that my troops ever received until death! They do not deserve this in the least!" He pointed a  finger in the direction of the group of commoners huddled together in the back of the courtroom on a bench. Soft sobs echo off the walls as he continues, "If you truly wanted justice for those who risked their life trying to save you, you would be just a bit more sympathetic to these people who had to give up the most precious thing in the world to them so that some small portion of hope would remain for human kind as we know it!"

All remained silent and with that Levi knew he had lost. He turned, and glancing over his shoulder he proclaimed in a cold stern voice, "I thought some good was still left in the word, now I'm not so sure." With that he was gone. The family's wept and the council in silence.

Eren had gathered as much courage as he could muster before approaching the Corporal's door and knocking.

This is stupid I'll just come back later. He thought as he turned to go.

"Oi brat come here I could use a bit of light on a day like today."

Eren turned and slowly made his way into Levi's room standing stiff and straight next to a slumped and defeated Levi on a bed. "The bed sheets are all clean sir...Just thought you'd like an update." He started to go. What was I thinking?

"Wait." Face flushed and heart pounding Eren made his way over to Corporal once more, this time Levi patted the bed to sit so Eren obliged. The firm mattress seemed to somehow sink into Eren's skin and grab him. Leaving him leanign closer to Levi than he intended. 

"I...I need you to.." Levi stuttered trying to find an excuse to keep the only person who truly cared about him, or had seen him in such a state in the room. Eyes taking on a permanent gloss.  

"I know." Eren responded  blushing more than before as he scooted closer to his Corporal and continued to look forward. "I know."
