My Little Brat

Happiness Doesn't Last Long

Levi's POV

I had woken up in Eren's protective embrace when suddenly I heard a loud knocking on the door.

" HEICHOU! TITANS ARE ATTACKING THE WALLS IN LARGE WAVES. "

I immediately sat straight up and grabbed my jacket off the end of the bed, sliding it onto my back.

Fixing my handkerchief I walked to the door and ran a band trough my hair.

" Eren. Meet me downstairs in the courtyard. Come to me immediately once you've finished getting ready. "

I said before leaving.

" All of you! At ready positions. We ride out in exactly ten minutes. Prepare what you must. There seems to be yet another problem. And a large on at that. "

I said walking past everyone and out the door. In the courtyard tacking my horse, Eren ran up to me as he pulled his 3DMG on.

" Corporal! I'm here. What do you need?"

" Eren, get your horse ready and stick close to me. "

He nodded and ran off the get his horse. He came back a few minutes later and halted his horse so he was slightly behind and to the left of me.

" Eren, I need you to trust in yourself and me today. The other will trust in you. Do you understand?"

" Yes, Corporal. "

As everyone filed in behind us, I awaited Erwin's command.

He dropped his hand and began riding as we followed.

We stopped as we reached the inner part of the wall. I was one if the first to go over the wall, Eren following behind me. We reached the top and I looked down at the sea of titans clawing and some climbing the wall.

" Holy shit...."

I muttered under my breath as I looked down at them.

" We'd better get started. I love you. "

I said, kissing him once and disappearing over the edge to take down the titans climbing first, then the ones at the base.

Slicing titans left and right, I noticed Eren wasn't moving from where he stood five minutes ago. I went back up to check on him.

" Eren? What's bothering you? We need to take these titans down."

" I-I don't know... I feel like something bad is going to happen..."

" Everything will be fine Eren. Come on, let's do this. "

He nodded slightly and took off without another word.

I watched him and mumbled under my breath,

" I hope he'll be alright..."

After about ten minutes of slicing titans and looking back at Eren every once in a while I noticed that he wasn't moving with as much precision or grace as he usually had. His skill level seemed to drop as well.

Just as I had sliced another Titan, spurting me with steamy red, I had moved to the next. Then I heard it.

Eren's scream.

I turned to see a Shifter, holding his arms down so he couldn't move to shift. My eyes widened as I watched it being him to its mouth. I flew over as fast as I could when I saw him look into my eyes and mouth,

" Save me."

I got there as the Shifter tightened its grip. Eren screamed again, a bloodcurdling cry.

I went to solve at the titans neck but instead it caught me as well. I sliced its fingers but not before it gripped me so tightly I could barely move.

I used my last bit of energy to slice its neck.

Eren was released and fell to the ground along with the lump of steaming Titan. I collapsed to my knees next to him, blood staining my clothes, but not titans blood. Instead, my own.

" Eren...?"

I asked quietly, knowing that I was badly injured but being more concerned for Eren.

He sat up slowly with a wince.

I knew he had broken ribs and possibly a few other bones broken. I laid him in my lap gently, pulling him up to get off the ground. It took every ounce of will power I had to lift him and take him back atop the wall. I collapsed in a heap as I hit the concretes hard surface.

Eren looked at me, eyes wide, seeing the considerable amount of blood I had lost and was still losing rapidly.

" E-Eren... Are you alright...?"

I ask trying to keep my eyes open.

" I'll be fine! What about you?! You're bleeding! "

" Eren... It's fine... "

" No it's not! "

He turns to call for help but I pull him down kissing him deeply. Mustering as much power as possible.

He kisses back gently, tears in his eyes. I look up at those beautiful eyes and try to force the thought of how much I'd miss them, out of my head.
