Attack On Titan Preferences And Oneshots

When He Dies

Connie's part has a reference to another chapter I wrote, How He Kisses, so anyone who picks up on it has my gratitude (it's where the * is)

Eren -

His Titan form lay in shreds on the damp ground. Titans tore the brittle flesh to shreds. Eren lay dying in my arms, blood pouring from his mouth and a deep wound to his stomach as we sat together, high in a tree: the wound being that his entire lower half was missing. I sat there cradling his head, sobbing brokenly. He hugged onto my waist, tears falling from his fading teal green eyes.

"I'm so useless. I... I still couldn't win" He cried, nails digging into my skin as his body writhed in timeless agony.

"You're not useless, Eren." I whispered in reassurance. "You saved everyone, you did fine. You-you're going to be fine...."

He looked up at me, a shattered grin forming on his face.

"H-Hey," He muttered, his sentences chunking together. "D-don't cry for me... live for me...."

"Eren you can live for yourself when we get back to HQ." I said hurriedly, grabbing his hands together, trying to reassure him and myself that we'd be okay.

He gave a grim laugh which ended with a whimper of pain. His eyes scrunched together, his lip bleeding from biting it too hard.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was unfocused, drifting from my face to the sky.

"T-tell the gu-guys-"

"No! Don't talk like you're gonna die cause you're not! You can tell them yourself!"

"Listen, Y/n!" He urged. "T-Tell them that I'm so-orry. I love you, so, so much Y/n, and I alwa-ays, always will. Tell Mikasa that I love her, tell A-Armin that it's up to him now, tell Levi that I-I'm sorry, and tell Jean he can have Mikasa, a-and that-"

His breath cut off, and a hacking couch burst from his throat. Blood splattered on the ground and I brushed the hair out of his eyes.

"Eren... Eren!!..... tell Jean what, Eren!! TELL JEAN WHAT!!"

Eren's breathing stopped, and his hand dropped from my cheek which he'd been cupping oh so gently.

I collapsed over his body, sobs wracking my body.

"EREN! God, I love you Eren!"

".... Tell Jean... that he doesn't look like a horse, and that........ he's an absolute fucking walnut......"

His eyes grew cloudy, and he fell out of my arms onto the harsh wooden bough.

My screams rang out into open air.

Levi -

Levi was in the mouth of a Titan, and I was just watching. Just... watching. My limbs wouldn't move. My brain was set on reverse. My eyes couldn't shift from his, and he just stared back, teeth clenched, screaming at me to run. But I couldn't go. The Titan bit down, and Levi's legs went down the monstrous creatures throat, his yell filling the air.

My world spun back into focus, and I yelled out his name. I shot my hooks into the Titan and swung up and around. I shot hooks into the titans nape, and released gas, flying into the nape, and slashing it. A fast as I could, I shot back around to it's bloody maw, plucking Levi from it's mouth. I flew up to the tallest nearby tree, lying him down on the thicket bough. I leant over him, trying to call him back to consciousness.
