Chapter 1 “Sleeping Guard”
—————————————————————
Dancing leaves flowing through the Scarlett sky, the feeling of warmth and comfort like a morning near the fire. Within the walls of Maria stood a shattered yet lonely Captain, he'd always dream of the day he'd fall in love but seemingly yet, his love would be taken away. The fallen soldiers that orbited warmth within his beating heart were now only remembered by memories. Till that one person falls right onto the Captains feet, he'd remain lost and in despair.

Eren's POV:
——————
I don't know if these walls will bury or regrow, maybe a miracle will appear but this feeling of loneliness can no longer free me from this tale of misfortune. Mikasa and Armin are worried about me, the attack within our beloved walls caused a great depression, not only for everyone, but for myself aswell. "Eren", a soft spoken voice echoed sweetly within the ears of the boy. The piercing look from the captains eyes shocked Eren, leaving him in a state of comfort and warmth. Oh Captain, all I want is to hear you call my name again. "Levi.. I didn't expect to see you after the ceremony." Eren hid his face behind those brunette locks that only ever seemed to dangle onto the tip of his ears. "Yeah.. I thought it'd be only smart to see the one person I can trust after the fall of our greatest soldiers." I can hear the hurt in his voice.. oh Captain, all I wanted was to embrace him. "Yeah.. Heichou, what is it we do now?" Levi looked at Eren, you could see the faint glimmer that buried within his eyes, he was holding something in.. what could it be?

Levi's POV:
——————
That damn brat, he looks at me as if he pities me, maybe I have it all wrong but why does he look at me like that? I can't help but wonder what goes through his damn mind, all I can say is that out of everyone I've lost, he's the last I know that understands me.. and I understand him. "Say.. how about we talk tonight, there's something I wanna discuss with you Eren." Levi's voice trembled, more importantly, I'm glad he enjoys my company.. so it seems. "Levi, I wanna confess something.. the way I feel, I-" Levi pulled eren up by the collar, the moment flew by as fast as it came, it startled the both of them. "Eren, whatever nonsense there is, it can wait." I can't let emotions and needs distract either of us, the stake of humanity lays within the brim of our hands, I can't allow him to think so selfishly!
"I- I apologise Heichou, you're forever without a doubt correct.." The young boy fell onto his knees a second after, silent tears begun falling down his ever so fragile cheeks. "Tonight in the barracks, I'm sure it'd just be us for now.. meet me there after you clean yourself up."

Eren's POV:
——————
Is he in denial? All he's ever done is think of nothing but others, he's never had time for himself.. He neglects his emotions, I can see it.. Tonight is my last change to tell him.. how I feel, I'm not in love.. I don't think. I've never had such a bond with another soul, such a connection that fits the missing piece into the puzzle, at least that's how I feel. I just feel a sense of affection towards the Captain, I'd give up my very own life for him.. he's humanities hero, and my hero.

The Barracks - Levi's POV:
———————————————
When will that brat show up, in the worst situations he always tends to make them even more worse. No.. no I'm patient, I've always been patient with all my other soldiers, why is it him I rely on? The brunette boy falls through the door onto the wooden planks. Levi jumps in order to stop the fall without any damage to the planks or more importantly, Eren. Before Levi could swing his arm around the boys waist, he layed right beneath Eren. TSH, that brat, the humiliation.. he- he's ontop of me, why can't I do anything. The two locked eyes, his eyes represent a series of pain, trauma and lust, his eyes.. I can read those eyes. Everyday his eyes have been getting duller but just now, looking into his, I see much more then a lost boy. Erens cheeks glew red, I feel something what is this..? "Y-you brat get off of me- auh-..." Eren caught balance and lent his hand to the Captain. Is that brat really offering me his hand, I'm not helpless. Levi pushed his hand away as he stood up, "Eren, when you're done fooling around we need to discuss some serious matters." The blush that beamed on his cheeks faded, his eyes no longer glowed. "O-of course sir" Before Eren could regain a conscious mind he fell ontop the captain again, this time willingly. WHAT IS HE DOING? "Captain, before we start, I want to confess.."
