Hot-Headed

After a while, people moved around the room. Sasha came over and sat on my desk being careful not to wake Eren up. Connie did the same to Jean and Marco's desk. Mikasa and Armin just brought some chairs over next to us.

They all just talked quietly for the rest of the class. I half paid attention to their conversations and half just focused on Eren. He was sleeping peacefully for the most part, but every once and a while is dreams would take a darker turn. I held his hand and every time his dreams started to twist I would give it a light squeeze and would use my other hand to rub his back lightly.

By the time class was almost over his dreams had changed completely for the better. It was weird seeing my face pop up in his dreams, but I couldn't help but smile a little at how excited he was seeing me in his dreams. Then again emotions in dreams are weird.

The teachers came back in and dismissed the class a few minutes early. I looked down at Eren and was about to wake him up but I ended up stopping myself.

Sasha had hopped off the desk and looked back at me before asking, "You coming? Or are we eating lunch in here?"

"We're eating in here," Jean said before kneeling down in front of our table and putting his elbows on the table and resting his head in his hands looking at Eren with a little smile. "He's in a really deep sleep," he pointed out before looking up at me, "you guys must have had fun last night," he teased.

"Not even a little," I said rubbing the back of my neck. "Wasn't the good kinda sleepless night."

"Oh," Jean said instantly standing up and mumble an apology.

"It's okay, it wasn't exactly anything too bad just something that made him restless," I said giving a quick explanation without saying too much in case Eren didn't want people to know exactly what happened.

"Are you going to let him sleep through lunch?" Marco asked changing the subject.

"Yeah, he needs the rest."

"Alright, we'll try to keep it down," Sash smiled, "I'll be back Imma go get some lunch." When everyone left for lunch the room was quiet. Hanji and Erwin were at the front talking but other than that the room was silent.

I just looked down at Eren who was sleeping peacefully. Just looking at him made me tired. I wanted nothing more than to just curl up next to him. I might have gotten more sleep than him last night, but I could feel his restlessness all night and it definitely kept me tossing and turning.

I just laid my head on the desk and scooted up against him and let my eyes close. A little nap won't hurt.


I walked into the room to an unusual sight. Not only was Eren asleep, but now Levi was asleep too. I looked at Sasha and the others who were talking quite loudly as they approached the class. I walked out and stopped them at the door. "If you wake them I'll roast you alive," I said staring at Sasha especially since she has trouble controlling her volume at times.

"Babe," Marco whispered to try and calm me down, "no need to roast anyone," he said taking my hand. His hand was cold to the touch compared to mine which was usually hot. I felt my hand cool down past its normal temperature. A chill ran down my spine and it calmed me instantly.

"Yeah, Jean chill we aren't going to wake them, we know they are tired," Sasha said and I nodded before letting them into the room. I let everyone else go in first Marco and I were the last to enter. We stayed in the door since I could tell Marco wanted to talk to me when he took both my hands in his.

"You're awfully hot-headed today," he shook his head with a small smile.

"Aren't I always," I laughed, "it's what you love about me."

"Sometimes," he smiled. "So what's got your blood boiling anyway?"

"Ya know that's the fun part about heat powers, my blood is always boiling, quite literally," I shrugged off his comment knowing he would ask again.

"You know what I mean," Marco shook his head, "you're feistier than normal, and that's saying something," he raised an eyebrow.

"Well," I let out a little sigh not really wanting to talk about this, "I don't know, there are a few things that just feel, well, wrong."

"What do you mean by wrong?" he asked.

"That's the thing, I don't know."

"Well, can you try and explain what is feeling wrong?" Marco asked giving my hands a light squeeze.

"Well, the first thing is that ever since Levi told us about his power I've felt weird," I let out a sign not knowing how to explain it.

"What do you mean by weird? Are you uncomfortable about his power?"

"No, I just, I don't know how to explain it." I said taking a moment to try and process my thoughts and feelings into words, "I guess knowing his powers now I can't help but feel worried for him. I mean you felt it right? I know I wasn't the only one feeling the amount of fear radiating off of him when he told us about his powers. I don't even think he noticed he was radiating that fear, but I did. What made him so scared to tell us? What is he afraid of? I guess I'm just worried because it seems like someone made him feel like he needed to be afraid to be himself."

I took a deep breath before looking at Marco who was looking at the ground. The look on his face told me that he was putting the pieces together. "You're right, I didn't think much of it at first, but now that you mention it he did seem really worried."

"Yeah, so I guess I'm just being overprotective, but I don't like knowing that my friend is afraid to be himself," I sighed, "and then there is this other feeling that I just can't place." I sighed. "It's making me anxious and I guess it's putting me on edge."

"What's that?" Marco asked his fingers caressing my hand.

"I don't know how to describe it aside from this feeling of pure dread. I don't know why I'm feeling it and I can't push it away, but the last few days I just get this feeling of impending doom and I can't shake it." I took a deep breath, but it felt like there was a weight on my chest. It felt like barely any air would enter my lungs. "It's just hard to breathe because this feeling is weighing on me so much and I don't know what to do."

"Have you talked to Levi?" Marco asked and I instantly gave him a confused look.

"No, why?"

"Maybe it's not your emotions you're feeling?" He asked.

"No, I've already thought about that," I let out a sigh, "the first time I felt it I was alone. The next time I felt it was last night in our dorm, and it hasn't left since."

"Oh, well, maybe you should still talk to him, maybe he's felt your emotions and can help you figure out why you're feeling that," Marco suggested.

I took a moment to think about it. "You have a point there." I mean if I did talk to him about it I wouldn't have to explain the feeling since he would be able to feel it and who knows maybe he might be able to help. "I'll ask him about it later, but right now it looks like I have to roast Connie alive." I pulled my hands out of Marco's and quickly headed to the group.

Connie's voice was getting too loud and I quickly walked up to him and grabbed his shirt, before my other hand was fully engulfed in flames. "If you don't want all your skin to melt off your body I would suggest shutting the fuck up," I said and Connie quickly gave an apologetic nod.

"I'll quiet down," he said with a sheepish smile.

"You better. That was your warning, there better not be a next time," I said and he nodded. I took a seat in the chair closest to Eren and Levi so I could keep an eye on them and make sure that they didn't start to stir because of the noise level. Marco took a seat next to me and held my hand.

"That was awfully violent," he said leaning his head on my shoulder.

"Hey at least I gave him a warning," I said with a slight shrug. "I could have just liquified him."

"How about we don't do that," he said before whispering in my ear, "We could cool down instead," his breath was freezing on my neck I shivered as it cooled my body temperature. He placed a kiss on my neck and I didn't think it was possible to freeze and melt all at once, but I swear that's what I just did.

"God I love you," I said and Marco just smile.d

"I love you too babe."
