Freez: Yeah, I hoped some of you enjoyed that first chapter, I know I did. I couldn’t help but continue because all these wonderful thoughts and emotions are swirling around in my head and I need to get it all down before it’s lost.
This is hard for me, because I could never fully understand a person like Levi but Eren, I can write about easily. So if you read and are wondering, “Hey! How does Levi feel? You are telling us how Eren feels but not Levi?” That’s because I can imagine Levi doing those things but not his thought process behind it at all. Deal with it. I should have just written this whole thing from Eren’s perspective but eh.
There will be male on male in the next chapter, so if you don’t like, stop reading now.
Levi stood up from his crouch on the ground where he had impaled Eren for the third time. Blood soaked through his jacket as Eren’s limp form hung from his hands. The Military police commander grit his teeth, “Hey! Don’t touch him! We are going to take his body for research!”
He thrust his hand forward and the police force began to edge their way towards Levi.
Just as fast as when he first pierced Eren’s body, he was gone, breaking his way through the courtroom doors and into the alleyway in-between the two buildings. He could hear, rather sense, that Mikasa was close behind him. He shifted Eren’s weight in his arms before taking off into the air with his maneuvering gear.
He heard the clank and hiss of someone following him but chose to ignore it with the more pressing issue of the police force that was called on alert due to his actions. He could see the forms on the rooftops, spreading out to block him in.
“LEVI!” Mikasa’s voice rang out, probably blaming him for what happened in the courtroom, which wasn’t surprising. Her speed was something though, and Levi had to swing to avoid her as she hurled herself at him, trying to grab a hold of the precious cargo in his arms.
There where too many soldiers advancing for him to be able to get away while Mikasa was on the charge, but he wasn’t considered a one man brigade for no reason either.
Levi weaved through the first set of Military police with ease, his face as flat as ever, they where quick to recover but where whacked away by Mikasa as she ran on, trying to catch up to Levi.
Levi kept his sights towards the wall. Word hadn’t gotten around fast enough so there were no cannons at the ready and the wall looked pretty much empty. Once up there, escape would be easy if he could just loose Mikasa in the chaos.
He glanced down at Eren as he scaled up the side of the wall, his eyes where open and lifeless. Levi grit his teeth and looked up, choosing to ignore the state Eren was in to make focusing on the task at hand easier.
Levi reached the top and looked over his shoulder, Mikasa was being blocked in by the Military police, which no doubt thought she was an accomplish in Eren’s escape. On the other side of the wall was the city of Stohess, the eastern city of wall Sina, but he wasn’t going to risk sneaking through a city. He ran farther down the wall until he could see a small village in the distance, surrounded by tall grass.
He jumped off the side of the wall and free fell before turning and using his maneuvering gear to swing himself into the grass lightly. Once his feet hit the ground, he used his momentum to continue running at full speed to the houses that where lined up.
Once he was close enough and was sure no one had seem him running up, he ducked behind some foliage and got a bearing on the situation. He hadn’t seen anyone come over the wall yet, which meant that Mikasa was putting up one hell of a fight on the other side of the wall.
The reason that there probably wasn’t such a hot pursuit was because Eren obviously wasn’t healing any of the wounds that the Corporal had inflicted. No steam was rising off of his body.
Levi heard a snap of a branch from behind him, dropped Eren’s legs to the ground and drew his sword while swiveling to face whoever was there in one smooth motion.
“Ah!” The little girl gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. Levi saw her eyes drift from his face down to Eren and he realized how bad this must look. He saw her eyes fill with tears and before she could scream out, he dropped his sword.
“Oi, don’t yell. My friend here needs help, will you help me?” As he talked, Levi took off his jacket and laid it over Eren, covering up the hideous wounds. The little girl was shaking in fear but her eyes turned hard and she nodded in determination.
“Are there horses here?” Levi asked, picking Eren up and cradling him in his arms.
“Yeah, I’ll show you where they are.” She turned and started walking away in a brisk fashion.
It was surprising how the little girl knew to duck down and hide when someone crossed their path on the way to the stables. Levi followed her example and in no time, he was looking at a white and black spotted horse.
“This one was my mommy’s horse, Charolette. You can have her, my mommy doesn’t need her anymore and I’m too little.” The little girl grabbed the reigns off of the post next to the stall and started to saddle the horse up. Levi watched her with passive eyes, keeping an ear out and an eye to the wall in the distance.
Once the horse was ready, Levi positioned Eren on top of the horse and then pulled himself up. He looked down to the girl who had tears streaming from her eyes.
“Oi, what’s wrong?” He asked, as she began to try and wipe the tears away.
“I know you fight titans, and that your friend looked like he was hurt by one…” She sniffled and wiped her eyes once more before looking up at him with the same determination as the boy that was dead in Levi’s arms. “My mommy was eaten, don’t let him die like her!” With that she smacked the horses rear, which made it take off.
Levi didn’t glance back at the girl, just hardened his eyes and rushed the horse faster and faster. He tried not to think of the little girl and how his escape from the area was so easy because she believed that a titan had bitten Eren instead of what really happened.
The ride was long and hard, but during the 130 km trip, which took three days, Eren’s body began to heal. It was a terrible relief to Levi who had began to think that this whole endeavor was for not. During the time, many different scouting parties looking for Eren and him crossed his path, but none found his hiding spots. None of the scouting parties he saw had anyone he knew in them.
Once he reached wall Rose, he slapped the horse, which ran off, and hoisted Eren up before using his maneuvering gear to scale the wall. Once at the top, he looked over to the ground in the area before Maria, the area that human kind lost all those years ago. Levi set Eren down on the wall and unbundled him, taking a look at the wounds that where all but gone. The sun was setting in the distance and Levi decided staying on the wall was the safest thing to do for the time being. Hopefully Eren would awake soon and then venturing out into titan territory wouldn’t seem to daunting.
During the night, Levi awoke to movement beside him. He had taken to sleeping close to Eren at night not only for warmth, but so he would be able to awaken once the boy did.
Levi watched Eren’s face, his brow was creased and he seemed to be sweating. His chest was rising and falling fast now and the dreamed that he seemed to be having was getting more intense.
Eren felt like every nerve in his body was on fire. His chest had that same piercing pain that seemed to take over all of his other senses. His mind flashed with various images, including his mothers death, the death of so many of his friends, and his fears about the friends he still had dying. Armin, Mikasa… Levi.
Eren’s eyes shot open. He looked at the face in front of his as it slowly focused into his view.
“C-Corporal?!” Eren asked, shocked by the fact that Corporal was staring intently at him.
“Relax brat, you’re fine.” Levi turned his body so that he was facing up towards the sky instead of at Eren.
“Wh-What happened?” Eren whispered out, flashes of the trial playing in his head, the way that the sword had stabbed him and the Corporal’s eyes.
“I killed you.” Levi said matter of fact like. “But in your stubbornness, you didn’t stay dead.”
“Where are we…?” He took in his surroundings and noticed that they were on the wall, which one he wasn’t certain of but also that they were alone. “Why are we here?”
“We’re fugitives now, on the run.” The way that Corporal said that made Eren’s heart ping with guilt. He was responsible for the Corporal leaving his squad behind. He was the one responsible for not being able to control himself well enough when on the battlefield. His emotions always overwhelmed him and made him do rash things.
“We’re going to fulfill your dream, Eren.” Levi looked off into the distance towards the titan’s territory and away from humanity and their deceiving walls. Being part of the military wasn’t helping humanity see any results on the front of killing titans and defending itself from their attacks. Instead, two walls had fallen, and countless lives had been lost. Instead of just the city of Trost, humanity could of lost all of the land between wall Rose and wall Sina.
Eren saved humanity that day and in return, he was treated like a monster and almost dissected by the same “humanity” that he was fighting for.
When Corporal Levi said his name, Eren’s breath caught in his throat. He couldn’t recall the Corporal using his first name in such a personal way before. His heart continued that painful sting that he felt himself getting used to. The hot and insistent pain in his heart that he couldn’t explain.
“My dream…?” Eren did have an idea of what the Corporal was talking about but he wanted to make sure. It didn’t help that the pain in Eren’s chest was making him confused and feeling lopsided.
“You’ve devoted yourself to killing every titan. That’s what you said to me, and that’s what we’re going to do.” Corporal Levi’s head turned towards Eren. Eren saw the emotion in those sharp grey eyes, eyes that told him that this was a challenge. Would Eren back down in fear? Two men, albeit, very strong men, against the world of titans? Was this even possible? They were running away together to save humanity even though it was going to be chasing them down like dogs?
It sounded crazy but… The most powerful man that Eren had ever known was sitting in front of him, looking bored and uninterested in their conversation even though Eren’s world felt like it was spinning.
Eren’s heart changed as he felt the pain empty from it and instead changed into something different. Something stronger. He let out a small chuckle.
Levi turned away again, looking like he was about to chastise Eren for acting so weird before he heard a thump and whipped his head back to look at the boy. He had those determined eyes again and a borderline excitement about him. Eren’s hand was on his chest in the customary salute that soldiers gave their commanding officers.
“I will not fail you Lance Corporal Levi!” Those green emeralds sparkled, so full of life, that Levi just stared at him.
After a couple of minutes of silence, Eren began to feel uncomfortable in the silence, thinking he had said something to offend Corporal Levi. Levi ‘tsked’ and shook his head.
“I save your hide, call you by your first name, and you still insist on calling me ‘Lance Corporal Levi’ even though I turned my back on the military once I saved your sorry corpse?” Levi continued staring out into the vast expanse beyond the wall that they were resting on. “I didn’t save you selflessly, Eren. I did it because you are the best chance that humanity haves and I won’t go down without doing everything in my power to achieve humanities safety from the titans.”
Eren nodded, understanding what the Corporal was trying to say, or so he thought.
“L-Levi?” Eren tested the name on his tongue, enjoying the fact that the Corporal was letting Eren call him by his first name. “How do you plan on killing all of the titans with me?”
“We’ll first need to start testing your limits in your titan form and how much you can remember while in titan form. Once we can get some semblance of your limits, we will begin the trek to Shiganshina, once th-“ Levi stopped talking and instead whipped his head back, towards where a light had began to shine in the distance, coming from what was left of humanity.
Levi clicked his tongue in annoyance and flattened his body on the wall, Eren following suit and keeping his eyes trained on the light like Levi. They watched as it came closer, what looked to be a single person on a horse began to come into focus.
Eren’s heart was racing in his chest, wondering who it could be. It was most likely someone looking for him and the Corporal but they wouldn’t know for sure until they could make out who the person was.
