The Winter Project-[Levi x Eren]

Chapter Thirty-Four: Awake and Alive

Chapter Thirty-Four;

Awake and Alive:

Narrators POV:

When Eren's eyes opened he shot up screaming Levi's name. The nurse in the room whipped around from the sink she was washing her hands in and rushed to the hall. "Doctor!! The patient is awake!"

Eren laid back down and winced at the sudden pain he had just caused himself and several different doctors rushed into the room. Eren looked around and at the bags of liquid attached to his arm, and the heart monitor at the side of the bed. "The hospital?" Eren questioned in his head. The recent events hit him and dry tears ran.

Dr. Smith walked into the room as well as a few others.

"Eren. Calm down. This is a hospital you are going to be okay," Mr. Smith tried to calm him down, but the boy's breath only hitched.

"Who brought me here? How did I get out from the fire..?" Questions were fired.

"Eren you were brought here by a person with the last name Ackerman; you know him correct?"

Him? Eren thought to himself. There was no way he actually texted Levi to save him.

"I-I yes I do."

"Good. You got out because you texted him and he came and brought you here,".

I did what? His memory slowly came back. He was standing on the roof and his room was on fire, then he texted Mikasa. His vision was blurred. Had Mikasa called Levi? No. She wouldn't've. What happened after that?

Mikasa, Armin, and Ackerman all stood in the waiting room as it got closer and closer till noon. Mikasa was giving Ackermna a harsh glare while he ignored her, and poor Armin had to stand in the tension because if he left one of them would probably end up dead.
Their minds raced, even Ackermans, too.

"How is eren doing? Why did he have to come here. Did Levi do this?" That was what Mikasa thought.

"If Mr. Jaeger had come home drunk, that could explain a lot, but why did Levi bring home Eren early? I know he said that Eren had wanted to come home for us, but he had seemed like he wasn't too happy to be home," Armin knew something was off.

"I should have never met you Eren. If we hadn't met, if no one made some stupid bet, if I never invited you over we wouldn't be in this whole mess. Would we?" Levi hated himself; he was a monster.

The doctor walked back into the room and all three of the teens immediately perked up.

"Good news kids, Eren is awake, and he would like to see Mikasa and Armin," he glanced over at the Ackerman, "Sorry Levi."

"Doctor I need-" Levi started to speak.

"I'm sor-" Dr. Smith tried to apologize.

"Doctor Smith," Levi's tone was harsh and he gave a glare that sent shivers down the doctor's spine.

"Okay, follow me," The doctor sighed.

As the four of them hastily walked through the halls the tension between the two Ackermans grew more and more. It was most obvious that they both eagerly wanted to see him. When they approached the room Dr. Smith pulled Levi aside.

"I need you to stay out here. Let them go in first, you can come in when they leave,".

As soon as the door to Eren's room ws opened Mikasa rushed towards the bed, and Armin grew sickened at the amount of bandages covering his body.

"Oh Eren-" Mikasa leaned in and gave him a long gentle hug.

"I'm so sorry I didn't help. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."

"Mikasa, now's not the time to be getting sentimental, it's only a scratch. I'll be fine. Thank you for being here," Eren paused, "Armin, hey."

Armin came dashing over and Mika moved to the side to make room.

"How are you feeling..?" Armin asked shyly.

He had never liked hospitals, and it was obvious he was a bit uncomfortable;but still happy to see his friend awake and alive. Eren noticed the firilair gleam of raven black undercut that stood just outside of the door, and a small amount of panic set in. Why all of a sudden was he afraid of Levi? Oh, right; Levi had just beaten the absolute shit out of him and didn't explain anything.

"Eren should be able to leave in a day, but he will need to be taken home in a car," The doctor spoke from behind them.

"Sir. Neither of us can drive, and my grandmother is very busy tomorrow," Armin spoke nervously.

"I can take him home," Levi said as he turned into the room, still leaning on the door frame.

Silence filled the room, but Mikasa started to argue.

"No. He cant take Eren home! I don't trust him! He probably did this to Eren!!" Mikasa started to yell and moved to walk towards Levi, but Armin grabbed her.

"Mikasa stop! Levi has done nothing wrong!" Armin said, trying to talk some sense into her.

This surprised everyone. Armin, the shy little kid, was arguing with Mikasa. Eren just sat there and watched in shock. He glanced over and locked eyes with Levi. His eyes were stone cold grey, and had no emotion at all. Now the room was really filled with silent tension.

"Why don't we let Eren decide," Dr. Smith suggested.

After a moment's pause Eren looked up, and into Mikasa's eyes. "I'll go with Levi. I want to discuss something with him."
