Chapter 1
Impression
It has been three months, since Eren left his home. His sister, Mikasa, was traumatized from when they lost their parents in an accident. Since then, she became overprotective of Eren, much more than before, and it made him tired.
So he decided after graduating from high school to look for a cheap apartment and a part-time job. He didn't want Mikasa to pay for his university fee since it wasn't cheap, and Eren didn't have any interest in continuing his studies. He wanted to stand on his own feet and live by himself as an adult. His eyes sparked when he imagined living alone.
After a long argument filled with promises, Mikasa permitted Eren to live by himself in another town, with certain conditions. Every one or two days, Mikasa will visit him, and Eren must call her every day. Being five years older than Eren, Mikasa was very worried, since he was 'Eren' who was a bit clumsy and innocent with strangers, which she found adorable but it worried her more than before.
Mikasa worked at the police department and a lot of people admired her talent. In a short time her career rose quickly with her salary. She did it because she didn't want Eren to suffer money problems after their parent's death. Luckily Grisha and Carla, their parents, didn't leave any debt after they died; in fact they left their money in the bank, enough for Mikasa to finish with university.
Eren, who dreamt about a world outside his town didn't want to be caged in by his sister. So he tried to live by himself and worked hard to earn money and stand on his own feet. He had gone to interviews in some places, and found a couple of jobs not too far from his apartment. He worked as a florist by day and bartender by night. He worked two shifts so he was able to save some money, while covering his living expenses. Mikasa was always giving him money to put in his bank account, worried her brother was not living properly. However Eren never touched the money. He opened another bank account to save his own working money and never touched any of the money from Mikasa.
Eren was walking to the bar, when he passed a small bookstore along the way. He stopped to pick up a newspaper and saw the headline for the day, "Young talented police officer, Mikasa Ackerman, captured The Drug Dealer Big Boss."
Eren let out a sigh before putting the newspaper back to its place. The headline was about his sister again. When he lost his parents at age 15, his sister had already graduated from university and had started to work as a police officer. Because of her talent and brilliant brain, she skipped two years in school and finished many impossible cases. She captured many criminals and corrupted people, and she became a famous public figure. It made Eren anxious; because when he went to school his friends always swarmed around him, praising his sister about what she did to catch those bad guys. It made him tired.
Not very long after he moved to a new place, some guys followed him, apparently the journalists wanted to take his photo and force him to have an interview about his sister. When Eren refused them, they acted with more aggression. He didn't want his sister to know about this so he kept silent and tried to solve the problem by himself. Until one day, which happened to be Mikasa's visiting day, she found Eren cornered by a few big guys while she was walking towards Eren's place. After she beat them up and sued them, no one was brave enough to disturb or stalk him anymore.
Mikasa had known about the men that had some sort of strange 'interest' towards her brother. And she had already eliminated them all. Some of them had even stalked him silently and took his photo when Eren was not looking. It surprised her when she investigated some cases; she found her brother photos spreading all over the internet. Some of it was nice and beautiful, but many were far more indecent.
The photo's consisted of when he was in the bath, changing his clothes, or even half nude. She was very angry and decided to follow her brother when he went to school or somewhere else. Not too long after that she caught some of the men and tortured them until they begged for their life. Mikasa asked for her brother's photos and deleted them all from internet. She did this all without Eren even knowing.
She was willing to visit her brother as much as possible to keep away the danger surrounding Eren. After all, he was the only family she had. Eren was too careless to notice the evil intent people had for him. She had to protect him.
Eren was a positive teen, who acted kindly to everyone because he believed all people he met were nice people. He did his job whole-heartedly and it made him become the most favorite worker for the store's owner and the customers. Eren was happy with his life and job despite his sister's phone calls. He had just finished his night shift in the nightclub when he saw three missed calls from Mikasa. Maybe he would call her when he arrived home; he was too tired to answer questions from her. He replaced his uniform to his usual clothes , said good-bye to his working mate, and walked home slowly.
Eren enjoyed the view while he walked home. The view was nothing special, only row of big buildings that fell into small houses and apartment area. He saw a shining lamp in front of every house he passed, but he noticed most of the inner sides of those houses were dark. The silent road was the only company he had, and he didn't feel the presence of any other humans. He enjoyed the cold wind while kicking some small rocks in his way.
Unconsciously, Eren started humming an old classic song his parents used to play when he was small. He really missed his mother's voice when she sang it gently to make him sleep in his early age. Then his thoughts flew to his father's warm hands, the hands that Eren yearned for. The hand, which was strong but gentle, and had always, ruffled his head when he was happy or sad.
He tightened his scarf and jacket when the wind started blowing strongly into his face. He was cold and sleepy; all he wanted to do was soak in warm water, and sleep until morning came. He was still daydreaming about warm water when something dark and bulky hit him hard from his left side. Eren was too surprised to react so he fell hard to the right side of the road. His right side hit the concrete wall but he ignored the pain, trying to understand the situation he was in.
Then he saw a human, near his thigh. Apparently the human that had hit him, hit him hard enough that Eren was sure his shoulder would be covered with bruises in red and blue when he woke up tomorrow. But he was more worried about the stranger who didn't move or mutter after he hit him. Eren forced himself to stand and checked on the stranger who was rather small than what was normal. Eren was worried this person maybe dead, but then he fell silent when he felt a warm liquid sticking on his hand. He shivered when he saw it was blood. Then he carefully put his fingers on the weak pulse from the stranger's hand. It was there, still thumping but not in normal rhythm.
He had to help this person.
Eren tried to hold the stranger with his unwounded shoulder and headed to his home as fast as he could. Luckily his apartment was not too far from the road. He tended to the bloody wound directly after he reached his room. He was worried and couldn't stand the thought of anyone dead in front of him again. Not again.
While he was feeling panicked and nervous, he pulled a bullet from the person's left shoulder. He knew how to do it because he did it for Mikasa's partner, Armin, when she was on a mission to catch some criminal armed with a gun. It seems Armin caught the bullet to save Mikasa and it happened inside their house. And because it was near where they lived, she panicked to imagine Eren there, around the dangerous area where the enemy was armed with a gun. It made her unfocused and she moved too fast until the enemy's bullet almost caught her.
Eren ended up doing it for Armin because his sister was too emotional and blamed herself for Armin's wound. Since then she became more fierce and dangerous than before. She didn't want anyone injured because of her incapability to protect herself.
Eren tended to the wound carefully and covered it with a clean rolled bandage when he was done. He let the person sleep in his bed and changed the cold fabric on the man's forehead every once in a while because the stranger had caught a fever. He took a bath when the person has calmed down and tossed his clothes along with his jacket into the laundry machine, because it is stained with blood. Then he continues to watch him until tiredness finally catch his body. He fell asleep next to the stranger.
He wondered, what question he would ask the stranger tomorrow. Maybe, "are you a criminal?" Or, "Did your friends hate you enough that they want to kill you? Where did you get this wound, and how do you get a gun in this country?" But then he decided to keep silent, because he didn't want the person to regret that he was saved by a curious teenager who was annoying and clumsy. He couldn't wait until he woke up so he could ask the stranger's name.
But Eren didn't know that those moments would never come. Because when he woke up the next morning, the stranger was not in the bed anymore. He found himself sleeping in his own bed, with clean sheets and a warm blanket over him. He thought it was just a dream that he acted like a hero and helped a stranger with a bullet wound in his left shoulder.
Eren was floating between reality and dream before decided to forget it. Maybe it was just a dream that seemed real, but then he yelped at the sudden pain coming from his shoulder. He opened his shirt to see a nasty bruise there.
"I'm confused," He thought unconsciously. Then he heard his own voice echoing in his room. He opened the blanket and his eyes saw something falling to his feet. He picked it up and saw an elegant hand-writing in a piece of paper saying, 'Thank you, but you will regret it.'
He doesn't know what it means with 'you will regret it' but then he forgot about it when he saw the clock pointing at the time to start his shift at the flower shop. He screamed in shock before running to the bathroom. After he finished getting ready he grabbed his jacket and headed toward the flower shop to start his day.
While he was running to the flower shop, he remembered that he had forgotten to call Mikasa. He reached for his phone in his jeans from yesterday, which he decided to wear again today and checked to see five missed calls from his sister. He opened up the logbook in his phone then pressed the dial button at Mikasa's number. It only took one beep before she answers his call,
"Eren? How are you? Why you didn't call me yesterday? Are you okay? Did you still work at that club? That's why I told you to find another job other than that place; it is too dangerous for you, usually the drug dealers are using that place to meet up with…"
"Mikasa, I'm okay. I just forgot to call you yesterday, that's all," He cut off his sister's words as usual and tried to calm her down. "I'm on my way to the flower shop now, and since I'm late, I'll have to call you later, bye!"
"Wait, Eren…" But he had already pushed the red button and put his phone back in the pocket again. Eren was excited to start his work today, because today the flower shop would receive a stock of White Calla Lily. The name of that flower almost the same as his mother's name, Carla, so he can't wait to see the flower with similar name as mother.
While Eren was running along the road, a pair of eyes watched him silently inside a black car. The owner of those eyes follows Erens back until he disappears from his sight. He is holding a photo that has the same teal colored eyes as the boy. In that photo he is smiling naturally, and didn't notice someone taking his photo because he was not focusing on the person who took the photo. It had been two years since he found that photo on the website. Those eyes captured him, and that smile haunted him. He closed his eyes and sliped that photo into his pocket.
"Go." the driver started the car and moved to the highway, obeying his master's order. After giving the order to his driver, he would make a schedule to make sure to investigate that boy by himself. He was not going to ask his subordinates to do it for him; since it was that boy, and he's pretty sure it would be interesting. Besides, he already wrote that warning near the blanket. Eren would regret helping him, because he always gets what he wants. And he was the one that he wanted.
Incidentally, that boy was the one who had been on his mind for the past few years. He had tried to ignore and forget that beautiful smile until yesterday. Those photos on the website suddenly went missing one day, and it only left him with this one photo that he printed.
This time, he would make sure to print it as many times as he could. Take as many pictures as his camera could keep. This time he didn't want to regret it. Because those innocent eyes were always haunting him, and he couldn't get him out of his mind. And he wanted more, and more. It would never be enough until he had that boy all for himself.
