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

Clipped Wings

Levi

Upon arriving back at Eren's apartment, Klara rushed to hug both of us before taking Eren to check his head. Dustin fawned over his friend, despite Klara having to scold him about making the brunet laugh when his head was in a bad state. The final diagnosis was a positive one. Klara said Eren shouldn't end up with any long term consequences, but may continue to have migraines for a few days. She forced Eren to sleep and ordered Dustin to make some type of food. The brunette reminded me of a dictator sometime.

It was once Eren was settled that everything came to me in a blur as I sat isolated in a car.

I fired a gun at somebody.

"Fuck." I heard a knock on the window to see Klara wearing one of Dustin's hoodies, but it had become a natural occurrence which I no longer bothered to comment on. I begrudgingly unlocked the car.

"Another crisis?" Klara laughed, opening the car door and seating herself next to me. "What's up this time?"

"I shot somebody." My friend's eyes widened, "It didn't kill them, I only shot her hand."

Klara sent me a small smile, "So the notorious Levi Ackerman can finally fire a gun at someone, whether it's for his own life or not." She joked, "I think it's good you're more in touch with your emotions, Levi."

The female's face was serious as she turned to listen to me. "Good for Levi, maybe not so much for L."

"Levi, you are just as much L as you are yourself. You don't need to pick a person to be, you can be both." She suggested.

"I don't think Levi has the capacity to sentence a friend."

A silence filled the air, neither of us speaking. Hesitantly, Klara began to slow sing a song quietly.

Warning, I'm bullshitting my own lyrics here.

"They tell us not to say a word,

Listen to the things we're told,

They say that we'll never be heard.

How do they know what we feel,

When all they do is crush our will,

Will they ever see that we are real?"

The girl looked at my expectantly, wanting me to continue the top fives' song. With a sigh, I opened my mouth.

"We have dreams,

And we wish,

For a life outside these walls.

Contained by pressure,

Expectations,

How can they expect us not to fall?"

Klara joined me.

"Let's be brave,

Let's stand firm,

Make sure our feeling will never cave.

We're stronger than them,

We'll show them ourselves,

We just need to fly as free as bird so high.

I'll show them me,

You'll show them you,

Let's show them us."

We both finished, Klara grinning widely at me as we sang the final word.
