Eren's P.O.V

I stare at Levi and I did not believe what was happening. The one who HD always been calm during the worst situation was crying hieratically. Ever since he had called me into his office I knew that something was up with him. As a matter of fact, for the past few days - no weeks I knew that he was discombobulated somehow. And my suspicions were confirmed. I could see right threw Levi's act. And I can see how scared he is of anyone finding out. I can understand it. He worked way too hard for this job, for this spot in the survey corps to loose it to a few cut's. I saw in his eyes the fight or flight response and in this situation how could it be fight? 

He trys to make a run for it and in the weak state he is in it wasn't hard to pin him by his wrist to the wall, forgetting about the cuts until I hear him squeal. I flinch. "Sorry heiecho I forgot about those..." He just ignored me trying to squirm out of my grasp. I actually found it adorable the way he was fighting. "I need you to talk to me." "No! Now let me go, brat." I roll my eyes at his child-like behavior.  "I'm sorry would you rather talk to YOUR boss, commander Erwin?" His face dropped in fear. And new started to calm. "You..... You wouldn't...." I smirked. "Oh, but I would." He loosened up and sank to the floor defeated. I sat down cross legged in front of him.

He sighed. "Ok, you got me brat, now what?" "Tell me why." I said seriously. "And don't play dumb with me either. He signed again and looked down as his face starting to tear again, as if thinking of a horrible memory. He took a deep breath and explained. "My dad killed my mom and my unborn sister when I was 13 and raped me.... He-he..... He just... I don't know what happened... I I snapped... I'm a monster..." He paused for a second as lots more tears came to not only him, but me. "... I killed him..." He said disgusted with himself. "I'm.... A monster." I just hugged him. He just needed one. A good hug. I let him cry into my chest and I held him. "Why did you call me here?" He sniffled . "I... I think I lo-" He cut himself off. "Like you." I shook my head as he looked at me in terror. "I'm sorry but I don't return those feelings." He started to cry more.

"Because I love you."
