Trapped

Chapter 20

Levi pov
I was in my room and walked out to get some water, but I saw the light to Eren's room still on
'Should I check on him?'
.

.

.
I was in front of his door and knocked
"Come in"
I entered and saw Eren sitting by his desk
"L-Levi!? What are you doing here!?" He yelled out
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I live here"
"Y-Yeah, I'm just surprised, you never come to my room...."
I sighed
"Has Erwin talked to you recently?" I spoke
"Eh? No. Why?"
"....No reason"
.

.

.

.

"Hey, Levi"
"What?"
"How did you end up working here again?"

"....like You, I was taken here against my will"
He stood up from his chair in shock
"W-What!? Then why don't we don't something!? Why is Erwin getting away with this!?"
"..." I remained silent
'That's right?'

'Unlike me, he's still fighting...'

'I just accepted my destiny...'

'I never fought back, I gave up...'

'but...now that Eren's here, I want to fight back...'

'I want to help him'

"Levi...I don't know how much longer I can do this. I hate this. I hate my life so much right now....this isn't me! I never wanted this!!" He fell on his knees and began to cry
.

.

.
I keeled down in front of him and grabbed his hand
"Eren, do you trust me?"
"Eh?"
"I'll break your contract."
"R-Really?"
I nodded my head
'But, what about you?"
"Don't worry about me"
"....ok, I'll trust you"
I smiled and walked to the door before stopping
"Come by my room at 1:30"
His cheeks turned a light pink
"O-Ok..."
I walked out his room and leaned on the door

"I'm sorry Eren..."

I went and got my phone from my room before walking to the living room
"I'm going out for a bit" I told Hange and Mike who were watching TV
"Ok, but hurry up, it looks like it's going rain soon"
