Breaking Point

What Did I Do

Eren pov

Levi woke me up when he got out of bed. He was up quite early. I watched him change into his uniform. Pulling on his pants while seeing him shirtless. He had some scars on his body, I wonder if they tell a story or if they were there because of someone else. I watch him pull on his shirt and pull on his jacket. The last signature piece was his cravat. He was looking for it and couldn't find it. I looked over and saw on the nightstand. I reached for it. I grabbed it and stood up. He turned around.

“Jaeger go back to sleep it's not dawn yet. “ He said sternly.

“I know but I had to give you this.” I said as I handed him his cravat.

He looked at me slightly puzzled before noddeding a thanks and retreating outside in the cold. He was so hard to read. His composure never faltering for a second. How does he manage that? I want to know how to become him so I can protect my new found friends. I also want to protect him….

I quickly went back to bed and set the clock for me to wake up. I soon drifted off and fell asleep to hearing rain beginning to fall. One thing that always will make me sleep.

Levi Pov

I weaved through the rain and the trees. I continued to focus on weaving through until I came across my targets. We had come to name them Shi. Shi in Japanese is Death. If you ever get their blood in your lungs or get bitten by them its over. I sliced through the flesh of the Shi. My blades slicing off the head of each Shi I pass in one swipe. I hit about 9 almost 10 if they hadn't moved from noise. I focused on clearing the fence of Shi. I went back and began luring the herd of Shi to my trap for experimentation for Hanji.

Hanji has begun experimenting on the Shi in hopes of finding a cure for this unstoppable demise for the human race. She has found that they can only officially die if their heads are cut off. They can be shot, stabbed and beaten but only stabbing it in the brain or cutting off the head can kill it. Which means they're a no way to saving them unless we lure them into a large cage or area to keep them contained until there's a cure.

I continued my clearing for the day as the rain cleared I could tell the sun was going to rise soon. I quickly zoomed down to the base of camp. I quickly began cleaning myself and my clothes of the blood from the Shi careful to use to water that we can't drink to clean my clothes with. A little while ago a disease of water spread, it wiped out over a million if our soldiers in camp, now we have to purify the water before we drink it. That disease still hasn't finished clearing people. Occasionally we get a few sick people here and there but we've mostly cleared it.

After I was fully cleaned up I decided to go see if Jaeger had woken up yet. It was close to sunrise and I don't want him late again. When I got to the tent I walked in and saw Jaeger getting dressed.

I quickly apologized while turning around “Forgive me Er-Jaeger… I thought you would still be asleep.”

Eren spoke in a super tired but extremely sexy sounding voice “It's fine Captain. I was expecting you to be back for another few minutes so I didn't turn on the lanterns.”

I said embarrassed “W-well next time make sure y-you do.”

I quickly exited the tent and clicked my gear before zooming off. That fucking brat ugh. Why am I so interested in him? Where did this come from? If I let my composure fall I could get myself killed.
