Twins in the Survey Corps

Chapter 5

~Rin P.O.V~

I slowly opened my eyes and realised I was in a bed, and someone was clutching my right hand. I looked over and saw Ren. His head was on the bed, and I could already tell he was exhausted. I had a massive headache, and when I looked at my arms I saw stitches running across them. 'I probably went too far again' I thought with a sigh.

I started to stroke Ren's head, and after awhile he started to stir.

~Ren P.O.V~

I felt a hand stroking my head, and that caused me to wake up. Once I opened my eyes, I looked up and saw that Rin was awake. Without thinking, I jumped onto the bed and engulfed him in a massive hug. When I pulled away, I saw tears in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry I put you through that again" My twin said sadly, looking at his lap.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Your fine now, and that's all that matters" I told him with a reassuring smile. I pulled him into another hug, and then the door opened.

I pulled away slightly to see who was at the door. There stood Levi, Erwin, and Hange.

"Oh thank goodness you're ok!!" Hange said cheerfully, as they made their way over to us.

"Yeah, I'm fine now" I new he was lying, but I won't say anything.

"Well, it's good to see you up again" Erwin said, whilst him and dad came over. "We gave it some consideration, and we're going to put you under Squad Levi's supervision to make sure nothing like this happens ever again. Is that ok with you" Rin slightly nodded, knowing that he didn't have a choice in the matter.

"Ok then. Ren I want you to go back to your dorm, and get some proper rest" Erwin said sternly and I gave Rin one last hug and made my way out, saying a small 'goodbye' to them.

~Rin P.O.V~

Ren just left, so now I'm stuck in a room with Erwin, Hange, and Levi. I don't call him dad like my twin does, but I honestly don't see Levi as a fatherly figure like Ren does.

"Rin, we want you to tell us what happened" Hange said whilst sitting on the bed.

"Urm...well...I heard Jean say that nobody would ever like me, b-because I'm m-messed up' I felt tears run down my cheeks, and I couldn't stop them even if I tried.

"It's ok, but I wouldn't have thought it would be over something like that" I heard Hange mumble, I knew that they didn't want me to hear, but I did.

"J-just because I seem like I'm strong, and don't care about people, doesn't mean that I'm heartless. Just because I had to mature faster so I could look after my brother, doesn't mean that I'm insensitive, and emotionless, because I'm not. I'm only that way so that it makes people think that I'm not insecure and an emotional wreck. In all honesty, I just became that way." Once I finished speaking, I got up and left. I didn't care about the shocked looks on their faces. I didn't care where I was going.

I didn't care about anything.
