Ereri Oneshots | Attack on Titan

•7•

My eyes slowly began to open. I sat up from my bed. From the tiredness, my eye lids drooped low.

When I was fully out of bed and stretched, I rubbed my eyes to remove the sleep from them. As my eye sight began to clear, I noticed some bodies laying on floor.

Their bodies looked limp. Blood pooled out from them staining their clothes and the floor. I looked closer.

Laying there was Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Sasha, Connie and the rest of my friends. In the center lay my mother.

All the blood drained from my face. My body began to shake uncontrollably. My heart drummed loudly in my chest. I looked down to my hands to see if I could stop the shaking.

As I did, my body went numb when I saw blood running down wrist to my finger tips. I saw more blood staining my shirt I wore.

'W-what h-happened?' I thought to myself. Then these words lingered the air. They sounded distant and echoey.

"It was all you. You did it. You murdered your friends in cold blood. Every one of them." I tried to search for the voice however failing in doing so. The voice sounded familiar.Tears poured down my face unable to comprehend what was going on. 

My eyes darted to each body, feeling a pang of swirling guilt in my stomach.

"Why? Why would I do this? I could never do nothing like this?" I was becoming agitated, scared and confused.

I heard a choked cough from the corner of the room. I turned my head looking at who ever was coughing.

It was Levi.

My heart felt like it stopped. Blood stained most of his body which was lined with quite deep gashes and bruises.

"It's - cough - right, you know." Levi's eyes looked dull - no sign of any life.

"N-no! NO! NO! NO!" I shook my head in denial. This couldn't be happening. Why would I do that? To Mikasa. To Armin. To my mother. And especially Levi.

I woke up screaming. The chains attached to me shackled me back. Sweat dripped down my face and my shaking was unstoppable. Tears coursed down my cheeks.

Foot steps could be heard from the stone steps. Turning the corner was Levi, Hanji, Erwin. Levi was the first one into my cell. He wrapped his arms round me; one hand rubbing circles on my back. Hanji and Erwin stood there stunned.

"What the hell? Is he okay?" Hanji questioned, her voice laced with concern.

Levi didn't answer though. He carried on with his actions. He whisper small things like, "you'll be okay." "It's okay, I've got you." in my ear. I tried to form words but they just came out spluttered. I just couldn't calm down.

The after images were so vivid. It was like they had been printed onto the back of my eye lids so every time I closed them I would remember the picture clearly.

"You two can just go back upstairs. I'll see to this. He'll be okay so you don't have to worry." Levi spoke. The other to gave a slight nod before returning back upstairs.

My breathing kept hitching and the shaking wouldn't subdue. My hands grasped onto Levi's shirt.

"Calm it brat. It's okay. I'm here." Levi lent in and placed a kiss on my forehead. He left a trail of butterfly kisses down cheek until he reached my lips. They were small delicate kisses, each one calming me little by little.

Five minutes later, my breathing was level. However, I still clung onto mine like he was my everything. 

"Do you want to tell me? Tell me what happened in your dream?" Levi's voice was soft in my ear. I nodded slightly. I wanted to tell him but i cant find the words. How can something so horrific and vivid be put in simple words. 

"You." I managed.

"Me?" Almost urging me to go on. 

"Yeah, you and the others Armin, Mikasa, Jean and even my mother. You-" I choked. "You were all d-dead." Levi hummed, carrying on rubbing small circles on my back. "Lifeless. Somebody told me it was my f-fault. And- and you agreed." I carried on struggling for each word. almost like they were strangling me. 

Tears began to fall from my eyes. Images still running through my mind. Levi pulled me back, looking straight into my eyes. He lent in kissing the tears away from my cheer then placing a loving kiss on my lips. He rested his forehead on mine. 

"Don't worry. It wasn't you're fault, okay?" I nodded. "Hey, Eren. I love you." Leaving another kiss on my lips.
