Why Do I Love You? (Riren, Ereri)

Chapter 2: You Came Back

Eren's Perspective...

"L-Levi...?" My voice cracked.

"Yes Eren, hello. How are you?" Levi walked over to my bedside and smiled slightly, only towards me though.

"I've been better...it's nice to finally meet you in person, Levi," my eyes never looked away from Levi's...

"Yeah..." Levi looked away, flushed.

"Alright; Eren, are you ready for your checkup?" Hanji walked to the front of the bed and looked at me, smiling slightly.

"Yes; I've been waiting for this..." My response is one I never thought I'd be able to say.

Hanji unhooked me from the machine, and helped me up from my bed. Levi, Mikasa, and Armin all looked at me with a smile on their face. I nodded in response and slowly walked out with Hanji. Levi was the only one who tagged along, leaving Mikasa and Armin in the hospital room.

"Why isn't Mikasa and Armin coming?" I asked, slightly confused.

Hanji tensed up from my question and sighed, "they want to wait until you get back so they can here the good news for themselves."

"Oh...alright..." Something was up, and I wanted to know what.

What happened next was something I wasn't expecting. As I sat on the little bed waiting for the results, I looked around. Levi kept staring at me and it was making my heart ache slightly. The longing feeling of holding him just came into my mind, and I didn't know why I wanted to touch him when I barely knew the guy. Though, my heart was racing, and that wasn't good in my condition.

"Levi, why did you come here...?" That was the start to the conversation, the worst one ever.

"Why? ...Eren, I don't know exactly," Levi looked at me, emotionless.

"I-I see..." My eyes looked around and my brain thought of things to say.

"Eren, have you finishes High School?" Levi asked; his face had a hint of curiosity, and his eyes showed no emotion.

"Uh, yeah actually. Being in a hospital for most of my year, I took online classes that were not that stressful. They were custom made for my condition. Though, I ended last year because this whole year I couldn't even go to school for one say and my condition was worse," my eyes seemed to never leave his.

"Damn, that sucks greatly. That means you don't have that many friends I assume...?" Levi look liked he regretted that so he tensed up.

"Yeah, and no worries, this topic isn't uncomfortable for me!" I assured him.

He softens up and smiles slightly, "no worries, I'll be one of your friends. I promise."

My heart pounded vigorously against my chest, "thank you, Levi..."

"No problem, Eren. I'm here for you through anything and everything," he held my hand softly, looking me in the eyes.

He took his hand away and I spoke softly, "thank you so much."

"Alright Eren, I have your results..." Hanji looked at me with a slight frown on her face.

"W-what i-is it...?"

"There is a slight problem. You've been stressing your body way to much, causing your heart to be more strained and that may have worsened your condition. Though, I talked it up with Erwin and he did indeed say we have a donor for you because...you may only have a few years left to live...judging from my charts, you have two years. Luckily, we found a donor for you because it may shorten down to months with living!" Hanji sighed, "the donor is slowly dying from being in a car crash. His heart is perfectly fine and the healthiest we've seen."
