Dissolve beneath my feet... (Ereri/riren story)

~Salute~

Erens POV

I was already up so I didn't see the point in trying to sleep.
Instead I walked out of my room and to the kitchen sitting at the bar counter On one of the stools.
At this point in life,
Im glad that I was living alone instead of with Armin and/or Mikasa

I wanted to be alone.

I wanted it to be quite

I wanted to be... enclosed in my bubble no one to talk to me...

But in reality I wanted levi, I didn't want to be alone.
I wanted him with me.

I didn't want it to be quite, I wanted To talk to him...

I didn't want to be enclosed, I wanted to be open with my feelings.

I wanted levi with me so badly.

A tear fell down my cheek as I thought of all the things I truly wanted knowing it wasn't possible.

I sniffed as I watched
my pain filled tears fall onto the counter top, cursing myself Out in my head as I once again replayed his words

Who the hell are you?!

Why are you crying

You look pitiful get up

Was I truly that hard?

I began to silently cry not taking control of my emotions and banging my fist on the counter top.

After a while I got a text from armin

-Armin 10:00~

Hey Eren... I wanted to know if you'd like you come with me to the library, to you know,
Try to think about something else

I sighed looking at the phone happy and sad he had Asked me to go with him.
Finally I replied

To armin ~

Yeah, that sounds great.. thanks
armin

Armin-

Of course,
Meet you at 12?

To Armin~

Sure

I set down my phone closing my eyes letting one last tear drop before I quickly wiped it and painted a fake smile on my face, wondering if I could trick my self into thinking I didn't miss him.

Levi's POV

That morning I woke up looking at the clock
'11:00?'
I shook my head before getting up

"Ssssssssssssshhhhhhhotieee~"

I heard someone yelling from the kitchen

"Fuck..."

I said to myself quietly before
Running out of my room to the source of the sound, so see a maniac standing in my kitchen......

"Four eyes.."

"Hi! I hope you don't mind but I kinda sorta snook inside waiting for you to get up....."

She scratched the back of her neck
I stood there silent not knowing what to say

"I.... What the hell do you want?"

She raised an eyebrow
"What's wrong with you?, by now I expected to hear yelling telling me to 'get the fuck out'"

I shrugged my shoulders still not knowing exactly what to say

"Now I'm concerned... shortie are you sick? "
Hanji asked placing a palm on my forehead before I pushed it off
irritated

"No. I'm fine"

"Are you sure????"
She asked once again getting closer

"Positive, now what do you want?"

She stared at me closely before continuing
"Hmm... well I was wondering if you would come to the library with me?"

A hint of excitement had touched her words as she asked me this

"What for?.."

"Wwwwwwelllllllllll I just need some books for the study's I'm working on in my lab, and was wondering if you'd like to come,since I know how found you are over books"

Hanji said a smile on her face point toward the colossal wall full
of books organized from large to small

"Sure, I'll come... I've read all of those anyway"

"Yay! Okay, sounds like a plan get dressed and we'll head out~"

Four eyes exclaimed a bit to loud in a sing a song tone

"Yes ma'am "

I said playfully and rolled my eyes,
putting my hand up to my forehead in a salute, before I turned to walk to my room.

Right before my turn.
I caught a glimpse of her face, she had saddened eyes and her face fell into a frown.
As I turned completely around to see a picture that hung gave her,
and my own reflection, I looked back at her in the reflection not turning my head. But saw a strangely familiar stance.

Her right hand was clenched and on her heart the other placed behind her back.

Into a

'salute?'
