I sat up in a cold sweat as images of Eren's lifeless body still flashed behind my eyes. I blinked a few times to clear them before turning to face Eren who a minute ago was sound asleep in my arms, now he's staring at me wide awake and worried.

"You alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine," I sighed pulling him into a hug, "I know this mission is going to be reckless, but don't you dare get yourself killed."

"I won't baby, I promise," he said, placing a kiss on my cheek, "We should probably start getting ready now that we are wide awake."

He got up and started getting dressed. I was still frozen there on the bed. Eren's body bloody and lifeless kept flashing into my thoughts. I'm not ready for today. Of all the days to have this kind of nightmare why did it have to be today. I was already worried about how today would go, but now I can't shake the feeling that something's going to go horribly wrong.

"Are you going to get dressed?" Eren asked as I was pulled from my thoughts.

I just got up and walked up to him, putting my arms around his waist before kissing his neck.

"Seriously what's gotten into you?" Eren asked, pushing me back a little and putting his hands on my cheeks.

"Just a bad nightmare," I whispered before looking him in the eyes, "besides I want you to know how much I love you in case something does go wrong."

"Baby I know you love me, I love you too, and we will have a lot of time after the mission to keep showing how much we love each other," he said pulling me into a kiss.

I heard a laugh in the doorway and we both turned to look. "I would say get a room, but technically you are in your room, anyway now isn't the time for making out now is the time to get ready," Jean said and I rolled my eyes.

"Says the one who was just making out with Marco for the same reason," I said staring into Jean's eyes.

"Fucking mind reader," he mumbled before collapsing down on our bed.

"Do you mind?"

"Nope not at all," he laughed. "Don't mind me just keep getting ready." He was face down with his eyes closed.

"Where's Marco. Isn't he supposed to have you on a leash or something?" Eren asked.

"He's checking on Sasha to make sure she's awake and getting ready."

"It's good he went to check on her since he wouldn't just walk straight in on people while they are changing unlike you." I rolled my eyes.

"It's not like I haven't walked in on you two doing other stuff. I've seen it all before nothing can surprise me," he shrugged.

"And whose fault is that?" I asked.

"Maybe if you would actually knock then you wouldn't have seen anything at all," Eren said before continuing to get dressed.

"Says the one who's walked in on me and Marco on more than one occasion," Jean mumbled.

"That's different," Eren huffed, "I actually knock, it's not my fault you two don't hear me."

"Same shit," Jean shrugged. "Levi's never walked in on us," Jean said using me as an excuse.

"Not physically," I mumbled, "usually once I get to your door and knock I'm close enough to hear and see your thoughts so yeah. Technically I've still walked in on you guys just not in the same sense," I said completely destroying his argument.

"Oh," he mumbled, "I never even thought about that." He got really quiet for a minute before bursting into laughter, "well did you like what you saw?"

"Not even a little," I rolled my eyes before sitting on the bed next to him. I just had to secure all my knives and help Eren put his braces on.

When he realized we were done getting changed he sat up and nudged me, "you sure. I mean it's quite the view," Jean said and his thoughts went straight to Marco 's shirtless sweaty back with Jean's hands on his hips. I focused on Eren's thoughts before his thoughts could pan down even further.

"You're disgusting," I rolled my eyes.

"What have you never thought of Eren like that?" He asked and Eren turned around desperate to know what we were talking about.

"Of course I do, but I keep it to myself," I crossed my arms and glared at him.

"I mean it is my mind, you were reading my thoughts so whose the real perv?" Jean asked.

"Still you, I was focusing on Eren's thoughts until you directed that thought to me," I raised an eyebrow at him and he went quiet.

"You got me there," he finally shrugged.

There was a knock at the door and we all turned towards it. "Come in," Eren answered.

Marco and Sasha came walking in and gave us a weird look.

"You guys aren't done yet?" Marco asked.

"Your boyfriend kept distracting us," I said, throwing Jean under the bus.

Marco let out a frustrated sigh, "I told you to make sure they were up and to have them get ready, not to slow the process down."

"Then you should have done it," Sasha laughed, "you expected Jean to come in here and not distract them?"

"You have a point," Marco sighed.

"Hey I got them to stop making out," Jean said and all eyes were on us.

"We weren't making out, I gave Levi a kiss because he was worried about the mission," Eren rolled his eyes.

There was another knock at the door and everyone went quiet. "Come in," I said this time. Rico poked her head inside and was surprised that everyone was already in here.

"Nanaba asked me to check on my team and make sure they were ready?" She said.

"We're almost done, I just have to help Eren put his braces on," I said and Eren sat down on the bed next to me. After we tightened the braces we stood up and dragged Jean out of our bed.

"Alright let's get going," Eren nodded. We all walked into the common area and saw almost everyone suited up and ready. Mom was standing there looking around when she saw us and she immediately started walking over.

She pulled Eren and me into a hug, "I want you boys to be safe," she said before thinking to me. I know how reckless you can be especially when someone you care about is involved, but I can't lose either of you. I need you to promise me you will come back safely.

"I promise," I whispered. I was just hoping I could keep that promise.

"Good," she said before hesitantly letting us go and giving Jean Marco and Sasha hugs as well. She wished us all a safe mission and told us she will be waiting here for us when we get back.

As the last few people walked up Pixis announced that we will be heading out in five minutes. He pulled our team up to the front and told us to prepare ourselves.

I felt as my stomach started knotting up. It wasn't my feeling, it was Eren's. He was nervous, he was afraid. He was scared he was going to lead us all into danger, but he was also scared that his plan as a whole wouldn't work.
