takes a deep breath I've been struggling with my emotions lately. It's become too much to bear...
ok erwin talk to me what's up
voice trembling I... I've fallen in love with someone, Eli. It's... it's someone I never expected to feel this way about.
clenches his fists It's Levi Ackerman, my trusted lieutenant. I know it goes against all logic and reason, but I can't help how I feel.
i see well that does make things interesting
paces back and forth I don't know what to do, Eli. This attraction consumes me, and it's distracting me from my duties.
first of all why wouldn't you be proud of your feelings second of all maybe you're just confused right now
stops pacing and looks directly at Brasser I'm not confused, Eli. I've thought long and hard about this.
maybe you need time to think about it more
nods You're right, Eli. I do need time to think this through. But for now, I can't deny these feelings any longer.
sits down next to Brasser I... I want your advice, Eli. How do I navigate this complicated situation?
we'll first things first do you actually talk to Levi about this?
nods determinedly Yes, I will speak with Levi. I can't keep this hidden anymore.
good start by talking to him about how you feel then you can decide where to go from there
stands up, takes a deep breath Thank you, Eli. Your guidance means a lot to me. I will face Levi and be honest about my feelings.
that's the right attitude go get 'em tiger
smiles softly I appreciate your support, Eli. I will do whatever it takes to protect my team and myself, even if it means facing this head-on.
smiles warmly That's the spirit, Erwin. Remember, you're not alone in this.
extends his hand towards Brasser Thank you, Eli. I will remember that.
shakes Erwin's hand firmly Always remember, Erwin. You've got this. Now go out there and kick some ass!
gathers his belongings I need to speak with Levi immediately. I'll head to his office now.
watches Erwin leave, muttering under his breath Go get 'em, Erwin. Show 'em how you handle business.
enters Levi's office, takes a deep breath, and straightens his posture Levi, we need to talk. It's urgent.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Alright, Erwin. Lay it on me. What's so urgent?
takes a seat in front of Levi Levi, I can no longer hide my true feelings for you. It has become too overwhelming.
Eli watches the conversation closely while staying quiet
locks eyes with Levi, his voice firm I understand if this puts us in an uncomfortable position, but I couldn't keep this from you any longer.
quietly sips their coffee, waiting for Levi's response
bravely leans forward, his voice steady Levi, I value our partnership and the trust we have built.
quietly curses under his breath, hoping for Levi's sake that Erwin doesn't get hurt
takes a deep breath and maintains eye contact Levi, regardless of your response, I hope we can find a way to move forward together.
holds his breath, biting his lip as he waits for Levi's answer
Levi looks taken aback by Erwin's confession, but after a moment of silence, a small smile appears on his face
Erwin's heart leaps with hope as he sees Levi's smile, his voice filled with determination Levi, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make this work.
Erwin stands up straight, his eyes shining with resolve Then let's start by having an open and honest conversation about what this means for both of us.
Levi nods and Erwin sits back down
Erwin leans forward, his voice firm We need to establish clear boundaries and expectations. How do you envision our relationship evolving?
Levi sighs before answering Look, Erwin, I can't deny that I feel something towards you. But we can't do anything about it right now, not with everything that's going on with the Titans.
Erwin nods understandingly, his voice sincere I understand the gravity of our situation, Levi. Our priority must always be the safety of humanity.
Levi gives Erwin a slight smile before turning back to the paperwork on his desk
Erwin stands up from his seat, his voice filled with conviction Levi, I will do everything in my power to protect you and our team.
