Third Person

Levi stayed there lips locked with Eren for a good minute. Eren couldn't comprehend what was happening at the moment the Corporal was kissing him!?

No sooner than it had started it had ended, Levi was out of the moment when he had realized the taste of bile in his mouth only to break the kiss and realize Eren had had a bit of an accident on the bed. But at this point Levi couldn't care less, he looked at Eren the teen boy sprawled out beneath him his body still shaken up. Eren's cheeks were dusted pink as were the Corporal's as they stared at each other longing for each other's close touch.

Coming to the realization that he was still on top of Eren, Levi quickly got off of him and kneeled in front of him as he sat up.

"Eren." Levi in a slightly less emotionless tone this one more with concern, yet he still managed to keep his face expressionless. "Don't ever do this to yourself again" he said voice now serious.

Grabbing Eren's arm that was now beginning to heal a bit harshly. "Are you listening to me brat? Look at your commanding officer when he is speaking to you." Eren only nodded facing his head down in shame.

"Why? Why would you do this to yourself? You know that none of what happened a few days ago was your fault-"

Levi was cut off at the end and Eren snapped "yes!! Yes it was Corporal all of it was!"

He was now looking Levi dead in the eye, more tears threatening to fall down his face. "If I had made the right decision, if maybe I had turned into a titan at the right time! No! If none of you had to look after my sorry stupid ass they would all still be here right now and I wouldn't have let you down Corporal!!"

Eren was screaming loudly and before Levi could act he had taken the blade used to create his previous cuts and slashed into his arm, blood dripping everywhere.

Levi cringed and gritted his teeth at the sight of Eren hurting himself. He ripped the blade out of Eren's hand and threw it outside the cell, while quickly grabbing Eren and throwing him harshly against the wall pinning bleeding arms.

"You stupid fuck! Stop it now, don't ever do that again any of this!!" Levi's voice was harsh and face steaming mad, but in his eyes Eren could see the worry and anxiety of the Corporal who was so close to his face.

"B-But I'm...a monster...a murderer, good for nothing dog that you forcefully have to drag around." Eren choked on his words eyes burning, body shaking.

Levi returned to his monotone expression and furrowed his brows. "Would a monster fight for humanity, would a murderer feel this sorry, would a good for nothing dog have captured my heart and stayed in my squad." He implied softly.

Eren stuck his head up at the last part, he had captured the Corporal's heart? "Corporal L-Levi?" he said cheeks pink.

The Corporal let go of his stern grasp of the boy and wrapped his arms around him. "Listen Eren and listen good, you will never hurt yourself like this again do you understand? I never want to see you in pain the thought sickens me."
