Eren could only hear the ringing in his ears.

His vision blurs, focused on the person underneath him. His knuckles felt raw, scuffed and bruised with opened wounds spilling crimson along his palms and forearms, aching for the means to stop. There’s people tugging him backwards, trying to get him off of Jean. But fuck—he swears he’d kill that damned son of a bitch this time.

It wasn’t until Levi had personally come to stop the assault did he regain his senses. For someone so small, how was it that Levi seemed to inhuman with his strength?

With a now broken nose, his chest heaving with anger and exertion, he could already feel the skin of his flesh mending itself due to the regenerative properties a Titan shifter was granted. Yet, he couldn’t focus on Levi’s harsh scoldings and threats towards him, his head lolling to the side to gaze at you.

Do you hate him now? He wonders if that’s the case.

Eren wouldn’t be able to take it if you did. It was Jean’s fault the first place, he thinks. Getting all close to you.. wrapping his arm around your shoulders as if the two of you were close. He’s seen the way he’s looked at you. How he worried over you during missions, even back when the two of you were mere cadets in training. As if he and Mikasa weren’t there to protect you since the fall of the Shiganshina district. Didn’t that bastard know that you’re his, even when he’s become so busy to see you these days? With a frustrated whimper escaping his lips, Eren attempted to feign innocence, reaches for you with outstretched fingers for comfort only you can bring.
