"And if you are..." Eren continued "Is it because I'm a monster?"
Jean felt a wave of Regret wash over him.

"W-what? No! You just got on my nerve's that's all." He whimpered softly.

"Then why scoot away from me? Couldn't you just tell me?"

"I just- I... Well we... I didn't-" Jean Sighed as he ran out of ideas.
"Ok fine... I was kind of afraid of you I was just to scared to tell you... I'm sorry." He spoke. Moments after he was stuck in a tight Embrace.
"H-hey!" He tried arguing as best he could.

"Your cold..." Was all Eren Said. Jean felt heat radiate off of Eren's Skin he was really cold and Eren was really warm it was almost as if Jean had no choice. He scooted up against him and rested his head on his chest he felt safe tho he was the cause of all of this Jean had to let go of the war that was in between them because he knew he had to get along with Eren to survive this. Eren projectively held Jean as the night passed Jean woke up, but his Eyes were closed and he yawned he tried to get up but for some reason he couldn't he opened his Eyes he was for some reason Pressed up against the ground it also felt like if someone's chest was on top of his back.
He looked up and he noticed he was in Erens grip he was lucky he could breath throughout the night.

"E-Eren!" He croaked out as best he could.
"Eren!" He repeated but with a stronger voice.
"EREN!" Eren woke up and looked down.
"G-get off me! Your crushing me!" He wined. "Nah, your comfortable your soft and warm and what's best is that your all mine." He smirked Jean felt his Cheeks burn up pink as he said that. "No- No seriously I- I can't breath" Jean wheezed.
Eren only grunted in annoyance as he got off. Jeans Lungs finally caught the perfect amount of air he needed to breath.

"W-we have to keep moving."
Jean said.
"What? Without a ride? That's like committing suicide." Eren argued.
"Well if we say here we're bound to get cornered by titans in this tiny cave its like a one way ticket to a titans stomach."
"Your right I could turn into a titan and I could carry you-"
"What?! No! There's No fucking way! You can't control your titan let's just walk and if things get to hasty we should use our gears."
"Alright." Jean got up and walked out of the cave then Eren followed Jean They began to walk looking around for any signs of the scouts. Walking in a slow quite pace Jean could Hear a stream of water quietly yet peacefully running it was Relaxing and he was quite thirsty.
"Do you hear that?" Jean asks Eren.
"Hear what?" Eren asked back.
"There's a stream up ahead!" Jean ran towards the sound quickly actually quicker then Eren. Pushing past through bushes and branches with thorns that excruciatingly cut past the fabric of his pants cutting his skin in a perfect line. When he made it he pushed though large branches he found what he was looking for but he also found something that wasn't on his mind at the moment a old small city in the woods seemed completely abandoned. Bricks were scattered Everywhere, homes were abandoned, furniture left to rot, old blood covered the roof tops, and the grass along with the gravel. Jean looked around as Eren finally made it.

"W-where's the rive-.... Oh..."
Eren looked around and sighed as he tend to ignore it he grabbed the small leather water bottle off his belt and filled it up with water and drank some. Jean totally ignored the river and looked around for some path of some sort he looked right and saw a wooden, brick bridge. He walked towards it, while Eren followed walking across the bridge carefully making sure the old wood was steady he walked across it then jumped off of when he made it across Eren Attempted to make a conversation.

"So.. Jean... Why are we here?"

"I... Don't... I don't know honestly I just decided that if it was best if I take a look."
Walking around for a while the looked around to see if there was anything that would help them literally anything.
Soon enough they met up with a useless wall it was still standing tho some bricks were broken off and some were either missing or just had a large hole Jean looked though one of the holes  his eyes widen.

"Ugh, Jean this was just a useless waste of time-" Jean quickly covered his mouth.

"mha aher chu doeingh?" He muffled though his hands.
Jean pointed his hand over to three Titans.
A 15, 7, and a 10 meter titan.

Eren moved Jeans hand off of his mouth.
"They can smell us." He whispers.
Not even 5 seconds later the useless wall behind then bursted into dust the wind was so powerful it blew Eren and Jean away the rocks and bricks hit they're bodies bruising and cutting they're skin violently yet perfectly Eren fell perfectly on broken rocks moments later a large brick fell on his Leg the three titans Jean pointed at before looked at the scene before them. Jean rolled against the ground with multiple cuts and bruises the cuts were minor but the bruises weren't. The dust of the fallen wall brushed before they're body's Jean couldn't see at all and he didn't even know where Eren landed.

"Eren?! EREN!!" Jean yelled in panic as he got up trembling in pain his muscles couldn't take. Coughing was heard in the distance. He ran in a hurry as he saw that Eren couldn't get up.
"Eren! Are you alright?!"

"Th-the rock! Its crushing my foot! And I can't get up!"

"D-don't worry!" Jean threw the rock off of his foot and tried his best to throw Eren on his back but he was too weak due to the injury's and his mass.
"J-just leave me behind! I'll just slow you down!"
"That isn't option! I'd rather you get out of here without me!" Jean yelled back.
With all Jeans might he pushed off the ground with his  legs that jumped it was no use he flew for a second but then landed roughly on the gravel knee fist.
He hissed in pain Jean seen this millions of times before where one solider carries the other but the person carrying the injured soldier was most likely smaller and Easier to carry. But then again it was balance that kept the soldier from falling he ran not giving up sweat of fear and worry ran down his forhead as he shot up into the sky.

"HAHAH! I DID IT!" he cheered as he blasted off with Eren clinging onto his neck behind him he crash landed on a old building.
He got up as best he could with Eren still clinging on his neck.

"Yeah don't celebrate just yet." He looked over to the 15 meter titan that was more then tall enough to reach Eren and him tears brimmed onto the corner of Jeans Eyes.
"N-no..." He wined. The small 7 meter titan blew them off of the roof and onto another wall which was most likely  corner. They were ambushed. The 3 titans they saw earlier and the the one that Jean saw behind the wall looked at them with watering mouths. A panic attack had struck jean as he quickly got up and tried to pull the triggers of his blades.
"COME ON WORK GODDAMN IT!" tears streamed down his face as Eren tried his best to get up his ankle was weak but he'd rather deal with the pain then die.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! WORK PLEASE!"
Jean was then pushed behind as Eren stood up properly.
"Get back!"  He yelled.
"WAIT NO!" Jean yelled but it was too late. Eren bit Down blood sprayed out of his hand as a lighting bolt struck him white and yellow lights shined as a ray of heat blew Jean back against the wall he grunted in pain and soon enough a large titan emerged from the light and let out a large ferocious roar.
