Attack On Titan Fanfiction (Incomplete)

Chapter 18: For Listening

"You'll have to pay me to help..." Klein said, his brown eyes flashing.

"Yes, fine, just help me you fucker! Carry him, I'll stop people getting to him." Klein nodded and lifted Eren up, slinging him over his shoulder. "Don't you dare hurt him or I'll kill you Klein!"

"Sheesh, so little trust as always Levi! It's fine, I won't hurt him."

"Just come on..." Levi led Klein and Eren through the crowd after Klein tossed him a knife and he held it up threateningly at anyone who so much as looked at Eren funnily.

"Wait that's Levi?"

"The Levi?"

"I thought he left this shithole!"

"He did, what's he doing back?"

"You abandoned us Ackerman to go and play with your friends at the college!" Voices in the crowd called but Levi ignored them. With Klein's help, he managed to get Eren past everyone and into a deserted alley way just off of the main street. Klein put him down gently and Levi huffed, tossing him back his knife. Klein pocketed it and held out a grubby hand, his messy brown hair drooping greasily into his expectant eyes. Levi cursed under his breath and fished into his pocket, unplugging his earphones from his phone. He tossed them at Klein.

"I don't have any oney with me so have them... Sell those..."

"How about the phone?"

"No chance..." Levi grumbled and knelt down beside his unconscious room-mate who was starting to stir. Klein smirked.

"Thanks Levi."

"Get lost." Levi replied. Klein laughed at that.

"You haven't changed, have you? How are Is and Farlan?" He asked and Levi said nothing.

"Well, I'll see you another time with the money then Levi..." Klein said when he realised he wasn't going to get an answer out of him. "I'll leave you and your bum-chum alone." He turned to go, waving behind him.

"He is not my bu- ugh..." Levi couldn't be bothered to respond to that. After a couple of minutes, Eren started to open his eyes, a grimace on his face.

"What happened...?" He asked drowsily, squinting, trying to make out his surroundings. The scent of piss and smoke wafted up his nostrils and he gasped as it all came back to him. His eyes opened wide and he looked up at Levi beside him. He scrambled backwards and Levi held his hands up in surrender to show he wasn't holding anything or going to hurt him.

"S-stay back!" Eren stammered, his eyes wide as he backed into the wall.

"Eren, it's me. I'm not going to bloody hurt you..."
"H-how do I know that? Y-you took me to this horrible p-place and... a-and... why was I asleep?! Did y-you do something to m-me?" His chest still felt tight and his breathing was still uneven.

"No I didn't, you fainted because you were scared! You're out of there now, don't worry. Besides, it was your bloody fault for falling on that guy's balcony! If you hadn't had done that, we wouldn't have had to go through there!" Levi snapped, glaring at Eren. Eren hugged his knees and hid his face in them, his shoulders shaking. He cried into his knees and Levi sighed. Eren was shivering violently from his panic attack and his chest ached. He was freezing cold and still felt a bit sick. Levi sighed and rolled his grey-blue eyes, pulling off his hoodie. He hesitated when remembering his wrists were exposed, but after all of that, he didn't think that was the top priority right there and then. He pulled off his hoodie and put it around Eren's shoulders. He shivered slightly but he wasn't as cold as Eren was. Eren flinched at his touch but didn't look up. "Eren, I promise you! I'm not going to hurt you!"
