[ 'hey, me too! actually you were in it and I tried to murder you, isn't that crazy? fortunately I had some kind of gay awakening and decided I'd follow you to the ends of the earth instead. weird!'
yeah, he's just going to keep all of that to himself. ]
I don't know if I'd call it a nightmare. Intense is a better word for it, I think.
[ erwin is also keeping the 'you were in my dream and tried to murder me but had a gay awakening and decided you'd follow me to the ends of the earth instead. also i was super duper into it' to himself. for now. ]
I'm not sure what to think of it. It was much more detailed than my dreams normally are.
[ he makes that clear, at least. he just needs a second to really figure his shit out first. it's weirder if he refuses, he figures, since he's just a dream. dreams are dreams are dreams.
after a sigh, he looks over at levi, gaze lingering on him. ]
A different life, I suppose I could describe it as. You were there, but things were different from how we actually met.
[ the eyes widening thing is interesting and he tilts his head slightly before continuing. but he does continue, attempting to not look too deeply into levi's reactions. ]
It had the feeling that we hadn't known each other for very long yet. I wanted you to join my cause, and you wanted to kill me.
he doesn't need to ask for more details. could Erwin have had a dream that was similar but ultimately unrelated to his? sure, maybe. but that's not what happened—he's not sure how he knows this, but he knows.
for a moment, he says nothing, completely unprepared for an answer like that. when he does find his voice, he still doesn't really know what he's supposed to say. ]
[ if erwin had suspicions of something like that, of having identical dreams or even dreams at all being the cause of both their wakefulness, he doesn't actually say so. his own eyes widen, just slightly, at levi's admission.
he tilts his head, considering the new information, processing, and then: ]
Huh. [ 'huh,' really? even erwin doesn't know what to think about something? that's genuinely kind of crazy. ]
I wonder if there's an outside cause. I don't know why there would be, though.

...eh, fuck it. ]
What was it?
[ and then, hastily, because maybe he shouldn't have been so forward— ]
—Uh, if you want to talk about it, I mean.

his eyes widen, but probably not for the reason Erwin thinks. ]
What?
[ okay, so they both had a dream about each other. so what? it's not that weird, right?
...well, that depends. ]
What was I doing?

It had the feeling that we hadn't known each other for very long yet. I wanted you to join my cause, and you wanted to kill me.
[ he sounds almost wry, self-deprecating. ]
You almost did.
[ almost. ]

Erwin, I think we had the same dream.
