Eren POV
Eren tossed and turned around in his bed.
The mattress underneath him hurt his back and thoughts of his meeting with Levi gave him the worst headaches.
The sun was about to accept its position up there where the moon had been just an hour ago and Eren desperately tried to get his burning eyes shut so he could maybe sleep for five minutes at least.
He was ready to get back to doing all his work, not sure yet how to approach Mikasa to thank her for taking over for him for so long but work would be a pain in the ass if he couldn't even get a little sleep.
Sighing and with his hands rubbing up and down his face he gave up the fight and crawled out of the bed, searching the room for a shirt and some trousers. Yawning he thanked Mikasa as he spotted the plate with bred and something that he didn't even want to name. She must have brought it inside last night when he was out.
With the piece of bred stuffed in his mouth, he left the room and ran into Sasha just as he was about to close the door behind him.
He greeted her with some muffled words and rolled his eyes when he met her hungry gaze and those big eyes that kept watching the food in his mouth. Eren took it out of his mouth.
"That's mine, Sasha. Get your own bred from someone."
"But...but Eren...that's...so tasty!" Was she...drooling? He sighed and broke a little piece off for her. She all but lunged forward to get it out of his hands and Eren stepped back just in time, shaking his head fondly.
"It's not like you never eat something. And stop calling me that. You know why that's dangerous for the both of us.", he whispered and was ready to start work, when a hand on his arm stopped him.
"Wait, Faris.", she said, her voice suddenly deadly serious. Eren turned around to face the girl he had grown up with, not used to the firm edge of her voice.
"What is it?"
"It's...they are only rumors...but...you know..."
"Spit it out, Sasha." He frowned, worried by the way she stuttered around. The girl swallowed down the bred that had been in her fingers just a second ago and Eren wasn't sure if she became even paler than she already was.
"It's the guards...", she muttered and looked around in the hallway as if enemies were ready to wrestle them on the ground at any time. "They are talking about some man they captured last night."
"What was he captured for?"
"Theft. And...and murder..."
"And why should we care about it?", Eren asked, aware of how cold and heartless he sounded. "We have way bigger problems than some murderer, Sasha. You know that-"
"It's Hannes."

Drip.
Running.
Drip.
As fast as he could.
Drip.
His heartbeat loud enough for everyone to hear that he passed in the hallway.
Drip.
They watched him with surprise, anger and everything in between.
Drip.
He couldn't care about them.
Drip.
