Day Fourteen- Sleeping Beauty

Day  Fourteen- Sleeping Beauty

(11/20/14)

Visions of ravioli and blue -green hues danced around in Levi's sleep-wrenched body. The insomniac twisted fretfully on Earth but explored in this unfamiliar realm. The hetero chromatic colors swirled around Levi and before him materialized a boy. Eren! The corporal smiled with recognition.

Smiled?

The sleep domain is different, the boy called to Levi, and likewise powerful. You must tread cautiously.

Levi opened his mouth to speak, but Eren gaped open his mouth. Levi quieted abruptly. Blackness oozed out of Yëager's mouth and a high-pitched noise flooded Lance Corporal's ears. He covered them, but the weak defense was futile. The sound entered everything, crept along his skin, clinging to his clothes, pulling at his white fingertips. The captain opened his mouth in a mute gasp of pain.

This is why I never sleep! His head cried. Levi twisted his jaw to try and pop the pressure building in his ears. His eyes, having reached their limit of how much blackness to endure rushing out of Eren, clamped shut tightly.

The sleep domain is different, and likewise powerful. The words echoed inside him as everything quieted.

Levi sat up straight, gasping for oxygen. His shirt clung to his back with cool sweat, and his hair shadowed the Corporal's dark, fearful eyes. His hands held a fistful of the bedding and of his own shirt. The man's heart thumped wildly in its cage, beating hard against it, clamoring furiously to get out. Levi quickly got his breathing and expression under control, and with shaking knees, crawled out of Eren's bed.

Eren. Eren, Eren, Erenereneren- Levi sprinted from the room in a panic. He stopped in the living room; Yëager sat with his legs crossed, peacefully watching television.

Giant, looming humanoid figures toddled about villages, eating actual humans. Mesmerized, the raven man perched next to the teen. Then, remembering again with a start, he twisted to Eren.

"Hello, Levi," he smiled pleasantly. "Did you sle-"

The captain took ahold of the brat's jaw and opened his mouth. He peered inside. No darkness. Only spit and- the man almost gagged at Eren's poor dental hygiene.

"Uh, Levi, you okay?" Eren meant to ask, but it seemed to come out as am, "Ah, Eeyi, oo ohay?"

Levi pulled away. "Nothing. I'm fine."

"Okay... How did you sleep?"

"From now on," Levi demanded intensely, "you need to sleep right next to me and never let me go."

A/N: Hey guys! This one had a little bit of a different feel to it. Was it still alright? I had decided to input a little of my one-shot style to this. I think it was still happier, towards the end... It's supposed to represent a nightmare, m'kay? They are usually freaking. See you tomorrow ~

As always, epicturtle0623, out!
