Eren sat silently, not realizing what he had done until the flashback was over, not thinking about the tears that sped from his eyes and the old scars reopened. He sat in complete terror of his own doing as Levi knocked politely on the door. "Eren, we're all about to eat. Everything okay in there...?" His words deep and in a cooing fashion, his ear against the door to hear the muffled whimpers and nervous inhales. He hadn't heard Eren like that since high school, immediately wiggling the door knob. "Eren. Open the door." He said more seriously, his small hands beginning to shake at the thought of losing him or having him hurt. Quickly grabbing the spare key he rushed back to the door to unlock it. "Levi I'm fine. Can you entertain them while I'm in here." He tried to sound okay but it was obvious that wasn't true. Thats when the door busted open, Eren jumping and held his arms to his chest in humiliation. "Please don't look." Eren said seriously, Levi ignoring him as he got close, prying Eren's seizing hands from his warm chest. "Let me see." Levi said slowly looking and sighed, biting his bottom lip, thinking it was his fault but pushed the thought to the side, holding back his utmost sorrow. "I'll bandage you up, everything will work out." Levi kissed his forehead lightly as he heard footsteps nearing the bloody bathroom. Eren leaned into Levi quietly, not being able to find the words as Levi helped him up to wash his arms and grab cloths. 

Thats when Armin and Jean walked in, both terrified at what they saw. Eren was humiliated as Armin practically ran to his side to hold him and Jean was helping Levi find bandages or anything to help. Jean and Levi really clicked in that second, as if the times in the past disappeared and they could move forward. Levi usually didn't respect many and Eren hadn't told him the terrible horror stories of Jean and what trauma he had inflicted in the past. Levi knew something was going on but chose to ignore it and help his husband. Quickly back to the floor and began to disinfect the wounds, wrapped them perfectly, then kissed him sweetly. "This'll be okay. I promise." He cooed, getting a phone call suddenly, about to ignore it until he saw the word BOSS printed. "I-I have to get this." He sighed, allowing Jean and Armin to comfort him and help him to the couch.

Jean helped Eren mostly but it was obvious Eren didn't want anything to do with him, Armin sighing as he cuddled into his best friend, saying he'd buy him anything to be better, saying he'd pay for whatever he wanted, Jean silent as he gave a bit of space. But then went to go see what Levi was doing. He noticed the door to the outside wasn't fully closed as he smirked to listen. 

"Yes I know your offer is limited. But I also know I'm the best fucking worker in that damn place. I don't know if I can do that anymore--" Levi sighed as he paced and rubbed his face nervously, over his head in anxiety. "I know-" He went silent. "Fine, I'll be there tonight at eleven. I'll get top paid and My job will be back and I have twice the amount of days off." He growled, biting his lip. "Oh shut the fuck up, we both know I'm doing this for Eren."

Jean's eyes widened, cracking his knuckles as he laughed to himself. 

"I'm fine Armin." Eren insisted, rubbing his temples. "I know your'e worried but I'll be fine. Levi is here for me and he'd never leave. I'm sure of it."
