'Till Death Do Us Part (Riren/Ereri) UNFINISHED

Chapter 3

Eren's POV

I was just playing in the grass when I saw a boy; running for his life it seemed like. I watched as the boy fell and I ran to him as fast As I could. I grabbed him up into my arms and I just stared at him for a second. He was beautiful. He had raven black hair that parted down the middle and was shaved on the sides in to an undercut. He had steel gray eyes and was well built for a kid. He looks a little older than me but not by much. "Im...sorry for...causing you trouble..." The boy muttered out before he passed out in my arms. I yelled for my mom then. At this point, I'm scared shitless. My mom ran over and took the boy from my arms and said, "Get in the car Eren. We are taking him to the hospital." I nod in response and run to the car and open the back door so mom could set the boy down. I then got in the passenger side and peeked behind my seat and saw the boy be laid down on the seat by my mother. "Eren, I want you to sit back here with..." She looked at the tag on his backpack that read Levi. "...Levi. It will be safer since he can't wear a seatbelt while laying down." Again, I nod and then climb over the seat and lift the boy so i can sit.I then lay his head down onto my lap. Why do I feel connected to this kid? Why do I feel queasy just looking at him? I've never felt like this before. What is this feeling? My mom started the car once I was all buckled in and drove a little too fast down the rode. As she drove I stared at the boy some more. He's so handsome. He had a scrunched face that made me chuckle a bit. I watched as his chest rose and fell slowly. I heard his breathing. It was shallow and slow but not too slow to the point where it was dangerous to his health. My stomach did a flip as I pet the boy's head. His hair was so soft and it reminded me of my favorite blanket my mom gave me last year. As I played with his hair, I slowly drifted into sleep.

When I awoke, we were already inside the hospital. I look to my left and see my mom sleeping in the chair and I look to my right and see the boy, just waking up. He looks at me groggily and frowns. "What are you lookin' at kid?" I wasn't expecting that so of course I was nervous. "uh...you i guess...sorry if i made you uncomfortable..." I gave him an awkward side smile and he just rolled his eyes. "Why am I here?" He asked in a demanding voice. "Uh...um...you uh...c-collapsed at the park and uh...um...I saw you and told my mom and well...she brought you here..." he looked at me and smirked. "Thanks I guess kid." I gave him a warm, homely smile and introduced myself. "I'm Eren by the way. C-can I know your name or will that make you uncomfortable? It's fine if you don't want to-" he cut me off and said, "I'm Levi." he whispered under his breath, "Thats a nice name." He heard me and giggled a little. "Was that a giggle? It looked to me like you haven't laughed in your whole life!" I told him; giggling as well. Then the mood in the room dropped to sadness and Levi said, "I don't smile much...I just feel comfortable around you I guess." I offer another warm smile to Levi and say, "So where do you live?" Levi frowned at me and said, "I don't have a home...my mom died when i was 5 years old and my ex foster dad kicked me out earlier because I broke a plate again. I'm really nervous around people i don't trust." I nod at him, understanding what he means.

3rd Person POV (because I can't write in POV anymore bc i know it sucks)

Eren gave Levi a sympathetic, understanding look and then reached over the side of the hospital bed. He carefully took Levi's hand in his own. Levi looked terrified so Eren dropped his hand and apologized profusely. "It's fine. You just surprised me. That's all." Levi offered a very small side smile and took Eren's hand and kissed it. Eren smiled at the ground and giggled; a dark pink tint covering his cheeks. Levi lifted Eren's chin and asked, "So, how old are you Eren?" Eren looked at him, blushing even harder. "T-twelve...What about you L-Levi?" Levi thought it was so cute how Eren was so nervous for no real reason. "I'm 14." Eren muttered out a 'nice' then went back to being nervous. Levi squeezed Eren's hand and went to kiss it again but just then, the doctor walked in. Eren shook his mom awake and the doctor wanted to talk to her in the hallway about Levi's "past". When she walked out of the room, Levi squeezed Eren's hand a little to tight and it made Eren pull his hand away. Levi started to quietly sob as Eren rubbed his back. Levi smacked his hand away and looked at him with angry eyes laced with tears. "I'm not weak shitty brat!" He was whisper yelling now and then he saw Eren crying and Levi immediately stopped crying and jumped of the bed to comfort Eren. He pulled him into a big hug and let Eren cry into his shoulder. "Eren, im sorry...im so sorry. I didn't mean to scare or upset you..." Eren stared into Levi's steel grey eyes and smiled, saying, "It's okay. It just brought up recent, painful memories." Levi looked Eren in the eyes before shoving his face into his neck. "You can tell me your past and I will tell you mine sometime. Okay?" Levi gave Eren a reassuring look and Eren nodded. "...And then he said that I was a brat and was a mistake..." Eren had just told Levi everything that had happened with his dad. From the good times to the bad. Levi just let Eren cry into his shoulder. Carla walked back in and asked Levi what happened and Levi explained and Carla grabbed Eren; pulling him into her lap, cuddling him close. The doctor followed them in and said, "So what do you want to do Carla?"
