Its has been two weeks since erwin last called levi and promised to search for him. And since then cops have been looking non stop for him making getting necessities for eren and himself difficult. But he manages. Currently eren and levi walk through the park. Eren holding onto Levi's hand as they walk. 

"Eren do you like poetry?" Levi asks at random.

"Poetry? What's that?" The boy tilts his head, holding onto Levi's hand. Previously, he had tried to grab it with Levi moving it away. Eventually he caught it and Levi gave up trying to keep his hand away.

"Its... like a song. With no music. Just feelings and story"

"Could you sing me one? Is there swears in it? Can I join in?"

"It depends on the poet. And you dont sing poetry you recite it... hmm... what type of poetry? Ones about war? Life? Love?"

"Love!" Eren screams in joy jumping up and down. "Love Love love!!"

"Love...? Okay hmm...
How do we come to be here next to each other  
in the night
Where are the stars that show us to our love  
inevitable
Outside the leaves flame usual in darkness  
and the rain
falls cool and blessed on the holy flesh  
the black men waiting on the corner for  
a womanly mirage
I am amazed by peace
It is this possibility of you
asleep
and breathing in the quiet air.

"... sounds boring." Eren yawns,  looking away in disinterest.

"...you don't like poetry then, huh?" Levi frowns and sighs "you're borning"

"They're just words. I don't see the point in it." Eren shrugs.

Levi simply blinks "you dont understand the concept of love" Levi rolls his eyes "Youre only six"

" I do too understand it!"

"No you dont. You think i know you know about love but you dont. Besides. Poetry helps with stress. Its very therapeutic" levi nods "It helps me with my urges. You know one day you'll get it... maybe"

"Urges? What urges?"

"Urges to break peoples necks when they piss me off" Levi smirks.

"Oh... did you want to break my neck?"

"... not to that extreme" Levi sighs "not yet"

"WHAT?!" Eren shivers backing away scared.

"Youre going to run away now? Way to give up, Soldier"

"... b-but how do i know you wont hurt me?" The child questions slightly scared.

"You'll just have to trust me not to hurt you. hm?"

Eren bites his lip before running back to Levi and hugging him. "I trust you! I love you, too." Eren blinks.

"Tch" levi bends down "you don't love me, Brat... you're lips are blue. Are you cold?"
"Cold?" Eren questions.
"I can't feel my lips. I can't even feel my hands right now." Eren giggles thinking it's funny to be completely numb. He probably should have mentioned this to Levi earlier.

"Oi" Levi says, taking off jacket and putting it on Eren. "Here. Out your hands in the pockets" he says putting the hood over Eren's head.

"Okay!" Eren grins sticking his hands in the pockets as asked. "It's so warm!" He giggles.

"LEVI!" The voice booming like thunder roars across the park.

Both boys stop and glances over their shoulders.
"...Eren..."
Levi whispers getting the boys attention looking straight over at the tall blonde man a few meters away.
