I just closed my eyes tight.

"Not going to say anything runt?" One of them said.

I was so scared.

I felt them go through my pockets.

I am fine sticking up for others like when I see people bullying armin, but I'm terrible at sticking up for myself.

They got everything I had in my pockets out.

"A coin, and a button. Seriously that's all you have?" They said.

I nodded.

"Well that's not good enough."

They punched me in the stomach making me fall to the ground.

Then they started kicking me.

I cried.

"Hey what's going on." I heard a familiar voice.

Armin.

"Go away. This ain't any of your business, but if you want to join then we can give you a free beating." One of the bully's said to him.

Armin ran off.

I felt a kick to my ribs, and stomach, and face.

Why was this happening.

"Hey, Levi, what the hell are you doing to him, get away from him." I heard.

Eren.

I looked at the bully's they smirked.

Then I saw there smirk turn into a frown.

I looked to see mikasa.

Mikasa started beating them all up.

I wrapped myself in a ball.

Armin must have got them.

Eren came down towards me.

I was sobbing now.

I didn't want him to see me this weak.

"Hey." He said calmly to me.

I looked up at him.

He stood up and started punching the bully's.

But he was failing so mikasa had to save him.

Eren was the shoved to the ground.

I stood up.

I went over to the person who hurt him.

I started kicking him.

"Finally fighting back are we." A bully said.

Soon the garrison corps came over to stop us.

The bully's ran away.

Eren was going to run after them.

But I tugged on his sleeve.

He stopped. 

He kneeled down besides me and looked at my wounds. 

The garrison told us off that day. 

And we were told off when we went home.

Present.

But that day I realised I can trust Eren to always have my back.

But can he trust me to always have his.

I went over to armin.

Besides him there was mikasa and she was badly injured.
