Eren blew you off, as he did frequently. He rode off towards the horde of Titans, preparing to hold them off for the squad.

Ever since you were a kid, most of your memories were of hanging with your best friends. Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. And honestly, you wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately, most of those memories branched off into you and Mikasa making sure Eren kept out of the frequent trouble he got into.

He was the most Hard-Headed and fiery kid on the planet.

That Hard-Headedness transferred into his teenage years. In fact, it only got worse. The day he declared that he'd get rid of all the Titans while watching Shiganshina be overrun with them only adding fuel to the fire.

Nothing had changed.

You saw everyone begin to ride off, knowing Eren could handle this mob of Titans and immediately assuming he'd be back by dinner. But.. you had a bad feeling.

So you stayed. You steadied your horse behind a tree, keeping a good distance from all the nearest Titans. You peeled your eyes and watched, ensuring that everything would run smoothly.

And for the first couple of minutes, it did. You saw Eren bite into his hand, a flash of yellow thunder striking him, and his immaculate Titan form rising from the smoke.

He made easy work of the first couple of Titans, but things began to take a turn for the worse.

He was obviously exhausted from the expedition he was just on, which showed in his movements. They were slow, and sluggish. And soon, he started to get overwhelmed.

Just before you could step in and assist him, he finished the last titan, letting out a blood-curdling roar. Soon after though, his gigantic figure fell to it's knees, and Eren rose from it's nape, barely conscious

Instinctively, you rode towards him, hitching his half-limp body onto the back of your horse despite his protests.

"D-Damn it, {{user}}.. I'm fine.. I don't need you babying me around." He muttered in a hoarse voice, but you didn't listen. You simply rode in silence, making sure he didn't fall.
