"E-Eren..." You coughed violently as you lie on your deathbed. Your grip on the blanket tightened as you felt the cold seep into your skin. You felt exhausted, but you were fighting so you could keep your eyes open.
"...Yes?" He looked at you, sorrow and disappointment in his eyes. You felt your eyelids get heavier and heavier. By now, your eyes were half-open.
"...Promise me," You softly said, as he leaned in closer to hear your words, "You'll take care of my horses when I'm gone, and you'll read books with Armin when he's lonely."
"(Y/N)," He sighed, exhausted because he hasn't had any sleep in like three days because he's taking care of you, "Don't say that, I can't--"
"No. Promise m--" You said a little louder, before getting cut off by your own violent coughs, "I know we spent most of the time together, and... I'm glad I met you guys. Can you please, bring me Mikasa and Armin?"
"(Y/N)--"
"Please." You set your hand gently on top of his, and he sighed out of frustration, before nodding and walking out of the room to get Armin and Mikasa.
Waiting for them, you pulled the blanket closer, and you noticed your hands were pale as snow. I'm dying. You thought to yourself, closing your eyes for a few seconds until the door opened, revealing Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and...
...Jean?
"What is Jean doing here?" You asked weakly.
"I don't know, I was forced to be he--" Mikasa cut him off by elbowing his side, earning a grunt from Jean.
"You said I should take care of the horses, so I brought one for you to see." Eren had a small smirk on his face.
"Why you--"
"So, (Y/N), what do you need us for?" Armin cut him off to stop a fight, smiling sheepishly.
"Armin, come here," You said softly, before coughing a little bit. The bed dipped down, meaning Armin was now sitting by the edge.
"Listen, Armin," You smiled weakly, "I-I know I'm not gonna be around to read books with you anymore, so... I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Jean faced the door, with his hands on it. His shoulders began shaking wildly, and he muffled the sounds coming out of his mouth.
"Is he crying?" You thought, "I.. must be so special since I've never seen him cry before."
There was a mortified look on Armin's face upon hearing your words. Suddenly, the four huddled together outside the room, leaving you confused.
"Eren, what the fuck did you tell her?" Jean laughed so hard his hand was clutching his stomach.
"I-I didn't tell her anything! From what I know, it's Hanji who told her something!"
"Who's gonna tell her?" Armin asked.
Mikasa shook her head. "I think Eren should do it, since he failed to tell her the first day."
"N-No! I think horsefa--" Before he could protest, they shoved him in, closing the door after.
"Where are they? I was going to tell Mikasa something..." You sniffed, your voice sounding nasal.
"L-Listen, (Y/N), I don't know how to say this but--" Before Eren could say a thing, (Y/N) assumed he was going to confess something.
"Eren," You cut him off, propping yourself on your elbows and weakly sitting up, "I-I have something to say too, so shut up."
"(Y/N), this isn--"
"I said shut up, Eren." Suddenly, tears formed in the corner of her eyes, threatening to spill any time. "S-So, since I'm going to die... I-I want to say something to you before I do."
Eren walked closer, sitting beside her, with his eyebrows pulled together into a frown. She looked into his eyes.
"God, she looks tired as fuck." He thought, seeing your dull eyes slowly closing. "U-Uh, (Y/N), don't fall asleep."
"O-Oh, sorry. Anyways," You cleared your throat, "I-I remember the day you first talked to me... and then everything escalated and you introduced me to Mikasa and Armin..." You coughed before continuing, "I'm thankful for that... I met Armin. I met Mikasa. You guys were like m-my family, but you... Eren, for the longest time, I--"
Your eyes widened when you felt something soft against your lips. You were utterly confused and shocked at his sudden action. You thought of kissing back but suddenly, you remembered, and you weakly pushed him away.
With a slight pink tint on your face, you spoke, "Eren, I'm sick... I-I'm glad you feel the same way but... I was going to tell you to forget about me, since I'm gonna di--"
"Shut up." He looked into your eyes. "Shut up and let me speak, (Y/N)."
You nodded.
"I-I don't know how to say this, but," He rubbed the back of his neck, "You're sick, but you won't die. Hanji probably told you something along the lines of 'you have a severe fever, you're going to die'. You do have a serious fever but it's not enough to kill you."
"W-What?" Your eyes widened, before you inhaled deeply and flopped back onto the bed. "I swear I'm going to kill her..."
"So, let me kiss you because you're no--"
"Shut up Eren, you'll get sick." You giggled, before sniffing and sitting up.
Realizing the things you've said before about dying, you flopped back down and screamed into the pillow, your face turning to a shade of red tomatoes would be jealous of.
Jean burst in, with an Armin and Mikasa trying to hold him back, "So, we eavesdropped and I can't help but wonder why you fell in love with a douche--" Before he could continue, Mikasa's unleashed her true strength and sent him flying into a wall nearby. "S-sorry for i-interrupting." Armin bowed, before walking off with Mikasa and slamming the door shut.
"Ohmygodiamsosorryerenthethingsisaidearlierweresuperduperembarassingand--"
"Shut up (Y/N)," He smiled, chuckling, "I'll forgive you if you get better soon."
"S-Shut up."
