"What am I supposed to do now??" you thought as you paced back and forth, combing your hair with your fingers in frustration and timidness. You were running out of options. You wanted to seek for help, but no one must know otherwise Eren may serve as a bigger threat than before.

Eren slept peacefully in the infirmiry, his wounds all cleaned and bandaged. He wasn't making any progress in healing. Instead, he would knit his eyebrows together to endure the pain that kicked in once in a while. Each minute, you would glance at the boy, then return to your panic form. You were running out of time. You couldn't reject Levi's request. No, that would be like serving a huge storm on a silver platter. You shed tears, trying to come up with a plan to avoid Levi's actions towards you and support Eren at the same time. Damn it wasn't your fault that Levi had forced you to love him. That's right. And that was what you were planning to do: convince Levi that he did not give you an option but one, to become his and his alone.

"Yeah, I'll just start off with that," you gained a small amount of confidence but you knew you'll end up on square one again once you come face-to-face with the Corporal.

"(First)?....." Eren mumbled.

You turned to him and sat beside him on the bed.

"Shhh you need your rest." you forced yourself to calm down in front of Eren.

You stroked his cheek, causing him to sigh in relief. He tightly closed his eyes before he could open them. His eyes trailed down your slim body, then up to your eyes.

"Don't go..." Eren spoke as he softly shook his head, giving you a concerned look.

"I..... But Eren, the longer I stay with you, the more pain I will cause you---"

"No no no please--"

"I'm sorry." you whispered.

"No, (First) please don't--" Eren's voiced had cracked, hinting that he was going to cry.

"I.... I-I promise I'll be.... Good. I won't.... Do anything you don't w-want me too."

Your eyes widened in surprise. That was the longest sentence you ever heard him speak. He was getting there, alright. He was making progress.

Eren grabbed ahold of your arms, locking them tight to ensure that you won't be leaving his side.

"Stay-"

"I can't "

"I'm begging..."

"Eren, no... You have to stop, please let me go--"

"Why?" Eren opened his eyes in fear, afraid of speaking his next few words.

"You... You don't like me?"

You paused for a moment.

"You hate me.... Is that it?" Eren's eyes were now soaked in salty tears.

" I'm s-sorry! I won't climb up the ladders no more, I-I promise!" Eren strongly disagreed on you separating yourself from him.

"It's not that. Let go of me, I'm going to get Hanji for you." You jerked away from his grasp and backed away from him to avoid contact from him.

Before you could open the door that leads the exit, you felt strong arms wrapped around you, trapping your arms in the embrace.

"I love you! I-I really do! I like you more than anything. E-even more than books." Eren wanted to convince you to stay.

"Eren, I'm running out of time, now release me!" you struggled under his hold as he tightened his grip, shaking his head. Even though he was in no good condition to stand, he still had the strength to hold you down.

Eren was like a stubborn child. You had to do something....

Eren swiftly turns you around, grabbing ahold of your cheeks and pressed his lips onto yours. You yelped under him, causing him to go on. You clenched onto his shirt, pushing him away with all your might. His tongue hesitantly forced itself in your mouth as you struggled. Without a choice, you bit his lip, drawing a small amount of blood. Unfortunately, the pain wasn't in his mind. He pressed on.

"Stop!" you scolded him.

He refused, hoping you would change your mind about leaving. His arms were crushing you. His embrace was too tight. You barely had any air to breathe, and when he took the hint, he quickly released you. Relying on your instincts, you slapped him across the face, wiping your mouth. You took a few steps back to create a personal bubble. Eren was stunned by your action. Awkward silence filled the air. You panted, shocked to see your crimson artwork painted on the corner of Eren's lips.

"I'm so sorry." You quickly apologized and ran away from him.

Once again, blood had been shed from him. And for the first time ever, he recieved great pain from you.
