You Don't Have to be Sorry for Anything

Eren X Jean X Armin

Eren's eyes slowly blinked open and looked around, seeing the number of colossal titans surrounding him. How the hell did this happen? Looking around, all Eren could see were hundreds upon thousands of colossal titans surrounding him. Daring to look up, he saw his old squad mates plus many additions attempting to fight the titans he was surrounded by.

How does he stop this? This... This wasn't how he wanted to do this! He never wanted to kill people, so why did he allow himself to fall so far off the deep end? Why in the name of Founder Ymir did he let this happen? How did he let this happen?

"He's in here!" Armin's voice called, ricocheting off the bone walls surrounding him. That's when he noticed that he was properly human again, he wasn't just a head. "Eren!"

Hearing his best friend, the man turned around and felt his heart break when he saw the cuts decorating his face. Gently placing a hand on Armin's cheek, he traced the cuts as tears sprung to his eyes. He did this. He was the reason his best friend was injured in the first place. He needed to do better, be better.

"Hey, Eren, look at me," Armin murmured, placing his hands on the nineteen-year-old's cheeks to get him to look him in the eyes. "It's okay. I'm okay, yeah? We're gonna help you, alright? We just need you to work with us. Please." Eren nodded, pulling Armin into a hug. Armin gasped at first before hugging him back, nuzzling into his chest. Soon they pulled away just as Jean arrived.

"Eren, can you stop this?" Jean asked, noticing how he wouldn't look either of them in their eyes. "Eren?"

"I-I can't stop it. I'm sorry..." Eren sobbed, collapsing to his knees. He had tried so hard to stop this, but he couldn't. He had failed, and it showed as he heard the yells of his old squad mates become increasingly frantic by the second.

"It's okay, it's okay," Armin comforted as he knelt next to the guilty man with Jean following just after. "Just breathe. You don't have to be sorry about anything. We've got you." The two held Eren as his sobs only increased. And just like that, the screams stopped. The sound of feet stomping had also stopped. Jean got up, heading to the mouth of the titan they were in and saw the rumbling had finally stopped.

"Eren, you did it!" He exclaimed, turning back with a wide grin on his face. Armin started grinning and turned to Eren, mouth open to say something, but it got caught in his throat at the sight of the man next to him. Eren was pale, eyes dull and half-lidded as he stared blankly in front of him.

"E-Eren?" Armin whispered, trying to get the brunette to respond in anyway possible. "Eren?" Still no response. Armin quickly checked Eren's pulse, time slowing. Come on, come on, come on! Please let there be a pulse, please let there be a pulse, please let there be a...

"Eren? Eren!" Armin screamed, holding the man close as he sobbed. Jean stood there, tears in his eyes as the others arrived and saw the scene in front of them. "Eren! Eren, wake up! Eren Rivaille Jaeger, wake up, please! Eren!"

Nothing was working. Even as they performed CPR, nothing worked. Eren wasn't responding to their efforts, and he wasn't showing any signs of waking up no matter what they tried. But they kept trying. Three minutes of CPR later, Levi checked the man's pulse whilst Hange continued to do CPR.

"We have a pulse! It's steady!" Levi exclaimed, a rare smile gracing his face as he heard the others around him celebrate. After everything this brat put them through, they still wanted him to live. "We just need him to wake up."

As if that were his cue, Eren gasped and his eyes flew open. "Eren!" Armin and Jean exclaimed, tackling him immediately. Eren chuckled weakly, sitting up on his elbows. "Never do that again, you dickhead!"

"Heh, sorry," Eren croaked, coughing slightly before giving a tired grin at the two, sending one to the others as well. Levi chuckled, ruffling his hair before standing and helping Eren up. Once they got them all ready, they headed off. At least Eren was safe now, and he's not going on a rampage anymore. Thank Ymir.
