Levi's POV

"EREN!!"
My heart immediately shatters, my spirit drops, and my heart stops. Seeing him being swallowed like that....
"Heh..hehe...."
I smiled as tears started to roll down my cheeks.
"I haven't cried...in so long..."
I gripped my blades tightly.
"In so..fucking...long..."
I glared back up at the titan, my heart feeling a mix of emotions and rage.
"Heh...I'll..I'll kill you...."
My smile drops but my tears continue to fall.
"I'll kill you!"
I fly towards the titan, starting to slice limb by limb. Blood splatters upon the building, the grass, on myself..but I didn't care.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
I sliced every part I could, trying to see past my tears. I wanted him back. I needed him back.
"Give him back to me."
I gauge its eyes out, flinging them over the building.
"GIVE HIM BACK!"
It's limbs regenerated quickly, and it was moving so fast. I couldn't keep up. It grabbed me.
"No! Let go!" I struggle and struggle, only causing more pain to my leg. I looked down, accepting my fate as I was thrown in it's mouth.
It was a long, gross way down it's slimy throat, until finally splashing into the red fluids. Titans didn't have stomach acid..so this means I'm swimming... in blood. I splashed around, trying to stay afloat. 'Damnit, I can't swim...'
In my struggles, I looked at all the bodies. Heads were bitten off...limbs as well. The flesh was burning off the bones of these people. I looked at my hand, feeling it burning as well.
"I guess...this is how I die. Figures I guess....I'm sorry Eren. I couldn't save you or myself..."
In the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar face.
"E-Eren..."
I quickly swam over to him, taking him in my arms. He seemed unconcious, but his body was slowly burning.
"I'm sorry. I guess we're both dying in vain."
My tears fall onto his cheek. His soft innocent skin...burning...
Wiping my eyes, I look up at the hole I fell through.
"Goodbye guys..."
Looking back down at Eren, I couldn't help but feel guilty that I'm not even trying to fight.
Setting Eren back down, I grab my remaining blades, gripping them tightly, causing my hands blood to fall into the mix of other's.
I weakly stab the inside skin of the titan, only making half way through. I repeatedly do this, each time getting slower and slower.
"I...I don't want to die..."
Looking back at Eren, I scowl and look in front of me.
"And I'm not going to die!"
I slice trough the stomach with all my strength, then grabbing Eren as all the blood and body pieces begin to spill out. Getting on to my feet, using what energy I still have left, I fly up, continually slicing and screaming. I fell back on to the ground, with the titan falling down next to me, soon evaporating along with the blood.
"E...eren...."
Lifting my head, I slowly crawl to his body, putting my head on his chest to find any sort of pulse.
"Please..Eren..please..."
Nothing.
I look back up at his face, thinking whether or not CPR could work if he just drowned in the blood.
Sitting up, I press on to his chest three times, then blowing air into his mouth. I did this for who knows how long.
Nothing.
My eyes whell up again, cuffing his still soft cheek. I place my lips on his one last time before callapsing from exhaustion.

Shortly after, Eren and Levi are taken to the intensive care unit. Mikasa is next to Eren, holding his hand tightly, constantly glancing and glaring at Levi.
"I'm sorry Eren. I promise, I'll do a better job protecting you than that jerk..."
She gets back up, quietly walking out. The nurses are going back and forth between the two.
"Eren might not make it."
"I know. It's a damn shame too...if we lose Levi as well, humanity is screwed."
They walked out, not planning to come back for a while.

Levi's POV

I saw I bit of light as I squinted my eyes open. Groaning, I try to sit up, holding my side as I do. My head was aching, and the first thing I thought when I woke up was Eren. I looked to my right to see him there. He doesn't look like he's breathing at all...if his titan regenerative power kicks in...he might have a chance.
Pulling my legs off the bed, I steadily stand up, holding the bed for support. I didn't take my eyes off of him. My legs managed to trudge to his bed before falling at the bedside. I lifted myself on to a chair next to him, slowly grabbing his cold hand.
Clearing my throat, trying to stop the tears from returning, I start to talk.
"Hey brat...i-it's time to get up. Let's get you to my bed...you can sleep with me tonight...y-you can have all the covers if you want..heh...when you get up...how about we have dinner, just you and me. Like a date. That'd be nice, r-right?"
I force a smile as the river of tears begin to roll down.
"P-please wake up...come on. Stop faking it."
I shake him softly, having a small bit of hope that he'd open his eyes.
"I-I know you're faking. It's not funny...i-it's not..."
I cover my face with my hands, sobbing quietly. I haven't cried like this...in forever. Why does it hurt so much?
I wipe my eyes with my sleeve, looking back down at Eren.
"You're...really gone..."
Taking his hand once more, I kiss it, then placing it back on to his chest. I lean down and kiss his lips one last time, and pull back.
"I'm so sorry...you were my one and only...it's my fault you're here. I should've saved you sooner."
Glancing to my left at the nurses tools, I got an idea.
"Maybe...we can be together again...."
I grab one of the scalpels, tracing my fingers over the sharp blade, accidentally pricking myself.
"Heh...it doesn't hurt that bad..."
Looking back down at Eren, I sigh and look at my wrist. Taking a deep breath, I start to cut. I cut once...then again..and again..and again. I counted them.
One...Two...Three..Four...Five....Six.....
'Six cuts on my wrist...that should be enough...'
I watched as the blood dripped down, smiling to myself that I'll finally get to be with Eren again.
I slowly get on to his bed, laying down with him. I grabbed his hand and nuzzled my head next to his neck, sighing heavily as I closed my eyes.
'I'll see you soon Eren...'

Eren's POV

It's so cold...maybe I should try to wake up...
But I don't want to get up.
I'm hungry.
I don't want to get up.
I'm hurting.
So I won't get up.
Get up!
I open my eyes quickly, breathing heavily. My hands are shaking and my body is sweating.
'Le..vi...'
I look to my side, seeing his sleeping face. His frail hand interlocked with mine. I smile a bit, relieved he's with me...b..but...he's not breathing...
"Levi...?"
I nudge him a bit, hoping that it's just my imagination.
"Wake up..I'm ok..."
I nudge him again...but he's still not moving.
