Breaking Point

Training Day

Levi pov

I noticed him start to fall. I jumped over the bed just in time to catch him by his shirt. I bring him up into my arms gently then held onto him with a tight grip. I pick him up and lay him on the bed puzzled with him. Eren was fine what's going on with him? We left the Hospital and he slept the entire trip here I thought for a moment. I quickly check his pulse. It's fine, beating regularly. I looked at him for a moment before realizing his handsome beauty. The color of his skin, the way his hair falls onto his face, and the exceptional physique for being on the verge of starvation. I check his legs for broken bones and ligaments. Everything in me is wanting to scream for help but at the same time all I want to do I study his body. My natural instincts got the better of me.

“Help! I need a medic! Now!” I screamed as I ran towards the doorway.

A medic flew into the door and began analyzing him and checking everything that I already checked. They kept writing many things down that it got me nervous. My thoughts swirling about how I start a massacre here because I brought in a Shi into camp. That would mean I have to kill him. But he could be essential to our team. I just don't understand what's going on. Am I losing my composure over this boy?

“Levi. He's fine.” Piped up Hanji from the doorway. “Your specimen isn't going anywhere… least not today or without you...” She trailed off.

She quickly turned and smiled watching the inner turmoil from my struggle. She patted me on the shoulder before smirking and walking out to head back to her research. I would have no problem killing him but Mikasa would definitely kill me first. There's a lot of things at stake here but somehow my thoughts are wandering to this boy.

“Eren needs to continue to rest and if he doesn't wake within the next day come to me. We will have to analyze him even more thoroughly and start force feeding him to get his body back to its normal state.” The medic spoke calmly and collectively.

“Thank you, you’re dismissed.” I spoke.

They left. I knew this might be an opportunity to draw him. In my spare time I had learned to draw. I quickly pulled out a sketchbook and began to draw Eren. He was asleep peaceful, calm, gentle like. I spent about at least an hour or so drawing him before my food is brought to my tent. They set it on the table and gave me my report for today's summary.

I couldn't help think of what happened to Eren. Why couldn't he swim? Why was he in my way? Ugh now what do I do with him? I sigh quietly and I read the report as I eat before hearing a knock on my door.

“Levi sir May I come in, Commander Erwin has sent me to check on the both of you.” Says a familiar young male voice.

“Proceed Armin.” I said quickly closing the report.

He comes in before saluting. He also bows to me and waits for me to give him permission to speak.

“You may Speak Armin.” I spoke sternly as if he was annoying me.

“Yes Captain. Erwin wanted to see how Eren was doing after coming into camp. I see that he is resting. I shall report back to him that things are normal sir.” He said swiftly.

“Thank you Armin Tomorrow gather up the squad and we will do some ODM training with Eren. You are dismissed.” I said.

“Yes Sir, thank you sir.” He saluted before leaving the room.
