{ IMPORTANT A/N FROM ONE OF TAKESHI'S EDITORS }
Oh hey there. I'm Hikaru, one of Takeshi senpai's (aka my twin sister) Editors. I keep a close watch on her chapters on my Wattpad acc and give her votes, comments etc. (User is hikashida but I don't write fanfics lol) so lately, she's been "complaining" that people comment on her chapters but do not vote. Seriously guys? She's trying not to sound selfish but she's put a hell ton of effort into each chapter. She deserves those votes. She procrastinates and stays up late or wakes up early just to type a chapter and make yall happy. (Trust me even her sleep schedule is screwed up now) It's just one click of a button. Simple okay? She's been a pressured upon since writing takes a lot of work so please, vote because she's spent so much time and deserves it. Also, I've been seeing comments like "hurry up and update lol" well please reconsider saying comments like that. It flatters her but she doesn't wanna feel like she's being forced to type her fanfics. So please make things easier for her by voting, commenting etc. Also, I apoligize for the grammar mistakes for I don't wear my glasses when editing.

Regards,
Hikaru. T. Yoshida (pen name lolol)

Levi felt like he was going to faint at any given moment but he remained awake for Eren's sake. His heart was pounding rapidly to produce more blood to replace the blood he already lost and it drained him from energy. He was a pale man but surprisingly he began to become more pale within each passing second his heart beat. His hair and forehead was stained with cold sweat and he was trembling as hard as Eren was. He knew he wasn't dying himself but it sure felt like it. He felt so cold despite wearing two layers of sweaters and he couldn't stop his own teeth from chattering against each other.

It took a while to get the blood from Levi because they had to do a bit more research first. After a while they began to prepare some needles and a few syringes and made Levi sit in an arm chair that looked like the ones from the dentist. Erwin was the one who collected the blood from Levi because they were both friends and so it would make Levi more calm and comfortable. Levi was scared; what would happen if this didn't work out? His efforts and sacrifice for Eren would all be for nothing.

He mentally thanked the heavens that there were a few more people with the same blood type who were willing to donate some to Eren. Farlan was at a business trip but he traveled all the way back to Levi's area to donate a whole bag of blood. The other donors were left anonymous but even so he sure was going to send a thank you letter to their home addresses.

Levi was now in a waiting room with a few of Eren's close friends like Mikasa, Armin, Hanji and a few other people who couldn't remember. The atmosphere was solemn as a funeral and on one dared to say a word, almost like they were already mourning for Eren. Mikasa kept staring at Levi and from time to time would glare at him with her best death stare but he pretend she wasn't even there. He had no time to pay attention to her because all he could think of was Eren. There was a big chance that he would die during the surgery and Levi was absolutely petrified.

Levi couldn't take it anymore with all the intensity and misery in the room so he decided to head outside for a while. It was raining which would make him even more cold but he didn't care, he just wanted to stay away from everyone for a while because at the moment i was like he was feeling all their sadness.

Once he took a step outside, he felt the cold air nip at his face and cringed when tiny droplets of rain began to sprinkle all over his hood. It was pouring buckets at the moment but it was a bit better to be out here than to be waiting inside with everyone else. Some kids were playing in the puddles with their friends and some young women were walking quite quickly as their heels clapped against the moist pavement. He breathed deeply through his mouth and closed his eyes as he leaned against the wet building. He was in complete peace now but then a sound of a door interrupted his thoughts.

His eyelids snapped back open and he straightened his posture when he saw Mikasa standing right beside him with an angry yet sad expression on her face. She was shaking from the cold and her hair was damp. She tugged at her red scarf so that it covered her chin.

"You came outside to enjoy the cold rain?" Levi asked with a deadpanned voice.

She ignored his joke and shook her head. "This is all your fault."

"Listen, kid, it's not like I asked his father to come inject him with some poison that day. He's the one to blame."

"It's partially yours too."

"Yeah. Totally my fault that your ex boyfriend is dying and can't even talk because he feels so much pain. All my fault definitely," Levi said sarcastically.

"If only you weren't even with him in the first place he could have been safer," she snapped coldly.

"Really? More safe with Grisha? The father who abused him all this time? The father who used him as a lab rat and injected unknown fluids into his with needles and other dangerous things? You're saying that he would be far more safe if only he were with his cruel bastard of a father than me? Please don't make me laugh but that sounds so fucking stupid. It's true that I did bring him to a cafe where I didn't know that Grisha would be as well but how should I know? I just wanted a simple date with my boyfriend! Now you're blaming me that he's dying and saying that him still being with Grisha would be better. His own father lit his house on fire and he was close to dying there too."

"He...he what?" Mikasa asked with wide eyes. "He was abused?"

"Why are you asking that? Did you not know?"

"I didn't....I did not know until now because he never told me. I was also never told that his father was the one who burnt down his own house."

"He was your boyfriend when this all happened yet you didn't know? If only you asked him a bit more about his father then maybe you could have stopped all that pain to occur from him but no you did not do that. You just wanted to be that adoring girlfriend that wasn't nosy about her boyfriend's business at home, right? You had the chance to stop this but did you? No, you did not so you're also the one to blame."

"I-I didn't know!" she stammered with a whimper.

"You didn't know because you didn't even try to get to know him but now it's too late, isn't it? Don't ever go running up to me and telling me it's my fault because you can blame yourself. It was mainly Grisha's fault but you could have been the one to put a stop to all of this."

"I-I just-"

"Please do not talk to me. I have no time to talk to you."

Mikasa was in tears now and her black hair was plastered against her cheeks from the rain. Her scarf was flowing in the wind as she ran back inside with her face in her hands. Levi sighed and banged his fist against the bricks of the building.

He still blamed himself.

---

He went back inside but instead of going inside the waiting room he decided to find Erwin or Hanji. It was boring and sad to just wait so he wanted to ask Erwin or Hanji if Eren was doing okay. The halls were mostly empty and quiet but even so it felt like he was not alone. There were others in this hospital who were waiting to see if their loved ones were alright and they all had to suffer mentally.

The sneakers he was wearing squeaked against the floor as he left a trail of droplets behind him and it made him even more upset to hear those sounds. They were Eren's sneakers after all. He was now looking down and he didn't realize he bumped right into Hanji until she spoke up.

"Hey, short stack, how are you doing?" she asked with a forced smile.

"I don't know," Levi murmured back. "Do you know anything about Eren?"

"He's doing great, Levi," she told him and grinned.

"When will the transfusion be over?" the man asked curiously.

"I guess thirty more minutes and I'll let you see him later, okay?"

"Okay," he agreed.

He later returned to the waiting room because he felt so relieved and he was happy that Eren was going to be okay. Maybe there was a slim chance that he would be able to go home but Levi didn't mind as long as he lived. There were less people now and he noticed that Mikasa was no longer here. Isabel was there which he didn't notice at first until she ran to him.

"There you are! I was looking for you, Heichou."

"Can you not."

"Did you get the chance to see Eren? I'm worried about him," she told him and frowned.

"I didn't get to but Shitty glasses said that he would be out in thirty minutes which is great," Levi said with a sigh of relief.

"Excited to see your precious boyfriend I see," she teased.

"Fuck off, Isabel," he said and grinned a little.

They chatted quietly for a while, mainly about League to take Eren off Levi's mind for a while because of course there was a chance he wouldn't make it but even so there was at least one memory of him that was imprinted into his brain. He would think of the times when Eren would wrap his arms around Levi's waist and watched as he beat endless amounts of other players on ARAM or Summoner's rift but would always result in Levi to go AFK to make out with his boyfriend.

What he liked a lot about Isabel is that she never ran out of things to say when he was in a conversation with her. They could be talking for hours and hours but it felt like only ten minutes and that was exactly what was happening.

Hanji and Erwin ran to the door way of the waiting room with blood stained surgeon gloves. Hanji's hair was in all directions and Erwin looked as if he were about to collapse any second. They looked at each other and gave a grin as they announced the news.

"We have safely completed the blood transfusion."

Hearing that news made Levi the happiest man alive. He felt like jumping up and down the way Eren would when he got hyper and excited but he was a self controlled man so he did what any mature boyfriend would do.

He pushed through Erwin and Hanji and raced his way towards Eren's room.

It wasn't hard to find because he's visited him way too often of course. He slammed the door open but to him it felt like he was opening the gates to heaven himself. He didn't show it but he was overjoyed.

There he was, Eren sitting in his bed while reading some manga called 'No.6' and he didn't seem to notice Levi at the door until he ran up to the bed and started to pat Eren's face delicately.

"You're alive..." Levi trailed off. "You're alive? I'm not dreaing this right. Look at me straight into the eyes and tell me I am not dreaming."

Eren seemed dazed. His brown hair was a mess and he still seemed a bit pale but most colour returned to his skin. He still looked a little bony but that wouldn't stop Levi from thinking he was the most beautiful boy ever. Even the bright spark in his green eyes returned. Eren looked over at Levi in the eyes and spoke up as he put down his manga.

"You're not dreaming, you idiot."

And that was when Levi kissed him for the first time in so long.
