Cardiac Arrest (Ereri/Riren AU) (Death Note AU) (L!Levi x Kira!Eren) (COMPLETED)

Kira's Laws

A/N: WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT I DIDN'T UPDATE?! C'MON, GUYS! THIS CHAPTER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

Eren

"Eren, Eren wake up!"

I woke up and pinned my attacker to my bed, my vision blurry and my muscles tense. My throat felt like it was full of pins and needles as each inhale and exhale set my lungs aflame.

I felt a hand tap lightly and I instantly rolled off to see Dustin gasping for breath. I fell off the bed and rolled up into a ball, squeezing my eyes shut and waiting for the nightmare to end.

"Eren, Eren, it's okay. Everything is alright. Your grip wasn't even that tight. Although I'm thankful for that, you should fix that if you want to be a cop I think," Dustin laughed while rubbing circles into my back.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm-"

"Ssshh, it's all over now, Eren. The Titans can't hurt you. Grisha, the leader died in jail."

That only served to make matters worse. I gripped my chest, trying to fight off tears only to have the sobs win in the end. My whole body shook vigorously as Dustin tried his best to console me.

"I... I wanna go home."

"Sasha, pass Eren the salt, please," Hange smiled.

"'Kay."

I shook the salt onto my mashed potatoes once and then handed it to Dustin.

"Sasha, do you think you could do your homework or something? I would like to talk to Eren alone," Hange asked.

"Roger that," Dustin saluted, "I haven't really talked to Sasha in forever. Let's go, Sasha."

"Okay," Sasha met my gaze before leaving with my best friend.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Hange asked.

"Maybe when Erwin is here," I played with the hem of my shirt. "It's kind of hard to talk about as it is. I don't want to have to do it twice on top of that."

Hange nodded knowingly, "Erwin has important business, but he should be home shortly. Would you like some hot peppermint cocoa?"

I nodded, pulling my knees into my chest. I drank three mug fulls until Erwin got home.

"Eren? If I knew you were coming home, I would've come home sooner. How's college? I bet you can't wait to join the force," Erwin's countenance changed when he saw my state, "Eren..."

"...and he said I was just like him," I replied, looking at my open palms.

"It's okay to be shaken up," Hange assured me, "It'd be weirder if you weren't."

"I just have a lot going on right now. Everything's just piling up. I attacked Dustin when he woke me up," I hid my face in shame.

"PTSD maybe, or similar symptoms. It's okay. Dustin seems one hundred percent fine actually. It's probably less bad than your brain is making it out to be."

I nodded. "Yeah. You're probably right. How was work, Erwin?"

"Pretty eventful, actually. The team and I met with L-"

I stiffened.

"Eren, honey, what's wrong?" Hange asked.

"L-L-L, does h-he happen to have b-black hair styled in an undercut?" I asked wearily.

Erwin nodded, slightly confused.

"What about his e-eyes? Were they a steel blue? Was he about five foot three?" I continued to ask questions, afraid to hear the answers.
