Despair Flows Too Deep
Author's Note:
This is going to be an Ereri fanfiction. The characters in this story are not mine, therefore I may never and cannot claim the creation of these characters as my own. DISCLAIMER: CHARACTERS, UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED TO BE MY OWN CREATION IN THIS PARTICULAR STORY, SHALL BE CREDITED TO Hajime Isayama. HE IS THE CREATOR OF ATTACK ON TITAN, IN WHICH MOST REFERENCES OF CHARACTERS AND THEIR DEVELOPMENTS BELONG TO HIM AND HIS MANGA/ ANIME. With that being said, story content are of my own creation, I took the time to think how I want it written, so I may claim this work as my own. Please note that if you feel discomfort regarding guy on guy pairings, don't bother clicking this link. I have no desire to bring trouble upon myself… ha ha, (by no means of disrespect). Anyway, this is my very, very first attempt in writing a story outside of school, and this is my first fanfiction, and first fanfiction based on this pairing. Please excuse any errors I may have, any kind of reviews would be appreciated ^^; I will take your critiques as ways to help myself improve, so all critiques are welcome Thanks for your time!
This is a fanfiction set in a modern type setting. I will try my best to abide by the rules x)
This is a shounen ai type story. I'm hoping I can write well enough to get people to want to read this ha ha. I'm not sure if there will be future steamy chapters... but bear with me ;3

Levi's ears were assaulted by frantic screams from outside as he delicately sat idly on the plump couch. In the dim light room, the smell of liquor hung thinly in the tense atmosphere. The screams got louder until it was right by his door. Taking one last puff on his cigarette, he swiftly leaned forward to put out the used bud when a young man was dragged in; his eyes were red from tears as he trembled.
"P-please…" the man begged, bruises plastered his frail face, "I'll have the money by next week… next week, I'll surely have it."
Levi rolled his eyes. Sighing a deep tired sigh he shot a glare at the man.
"You keep telling yourself you have a next week. You keep fucking telling yourself that." Levi growled, "I don't have all day to negotiate with you. How fucking hard is it to keep your own damn word?"
As he approached the cowering man, his subordinate handed him a blade, thin and delicate yet threatening in every manner- like the snow, until it becomes a blizzard. Crouching with the balls of his feet, he stabbed the blade into the wooden floor right by the man's hand.
"You know… I don't have very much patience."
His voice leaked with boredom. In a swift movement, the knife was dislodged from the ground and the tip gleamed venomously by the man's throat.
"What will you do? I want the money by tomorrow at noon. You don't have until next week, you little shit."
Whimpering under the hard, chilling glare of Levi, the man uttered a small 'Yes' before he was sent away with vicious kicks to his face, gut and ribs. Sighing, Levi picked up a new cigarette before leaving the room, towards the exit to his black Cadillac. Carrying his white blazer behind his shoulders, Levi left the building with the quiet click of his perfect dress shoes.
Upon the arrival of his mansion, Levi was greeted by men dressed in black. Standing in two perfect lines, each greeted him as he walked towards the entrance of his home. Upon entering his room, he casually peeled off his formal wear and promptly changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and black leather jacket before leaving his mansion once again on his expensive motorcycle.
Shit. Levi thought patting his cheek gently. All this shitty work is making me age faster.Sighing as he sat down heavily at the frequented bar, he was greeted by a glass full of clear golden brown liquor.
"Why the long face, Rivaille?" a tall muscular man ask with a small smirk.
Raising his gaze to the man before him, he glared menacingly.
"What the fuck, Erwin, I told you to call me Levi-san."
Chuckling, Erwin leaned toward Levi in a predatory manner.
"Troubling with your line of work today?" he said, his smirk growing wider.
Avoiding the question, Levi chugged down his liquor.
"It's none of your shitty business. What the news?"
"Pixis made a move to obtain access to Trost Casino. Last night, there was an attempt to steal the deed to the Casino, but failed to access the office. You must have a pretty damn good defense there. "
"Hm." Levi shrugged, "What about Sina or Maria? Anything there?"
"Nah, not yet. That's too big for him. He attempted to breach through the defense at Rose, but there was no success. Currently, I hear he's still plotting his next move."
Levi sneered. "Of course. The shit better plan properly. My men aren't considered shabby."
With a smirk playing at his lips, Levi got up to reach for the exit while waving a small gesture of thanks to Erwin. Leaving the bar and stepping out into a frosty cold evening, Levi squinted through the foggy night. The street lights were dimmer than usual and the people walking about seemed oddly less than normal. Paying no mind to it, Levi slipped on his helmet. Before he had the chance to get his bike, there was a sickening scream in the alley behind him. Being the terrifying man he was, it would seem that Levi is accustomed to such noises. Out of sheer curiosity, he turned to a man pinning a smaller figure to the wall.
"What the fuck."Levi thought. It's none of my business, but… damn. I'm getting soft."
Sprinting towards the dark alley, Levi shoved his foot deep into the assaulter's side. The sudden impact made the drunken man double over with shock and pain. The slimmer one slumped, from shock, Levi assumed, onto the ground. The victim was visibly shaking, tears caked onto his cheeks. His hair a mess and small bruises covered his arms. His lips were swollen and bleeding; before Levi realized it, he picked up the young man over his shoulders and marched to his bike. A frantic "Oh my gosh! Behind you!" broke his train of thought as a pointy, cold knife sliced his left waist.
'Tch'Levi thought, 'Fucking shit isn't out yet.'
In a quick spin, Levi met the heel of his boots to the top of the man's head and a swift kick to the chin was enough to make the man stop moving. The young man he was holding seemed to have passed out; without a second thought, he drove them both back to his mansion.
Laying the man down onto his bed, Levi attempted to dress his wounds. His side was throbbing and the blood dripped onto his well maintained floor. Clicking his tongue, Levi rolled his eyed in annoying. Another unpopular word left his lips as the quickly sanitized his wound and bandaged it. Reaching the shelves across his spacious room, he pulled out a bottle of cleaning detergent and a neon yellow cleaning cloth. He scrubbed his room until he was satisfied before checking on the man on his bed. In an attempt to examine the younger man's wound, Levi couldn't help but realize his pale soft skin and the purple patches that scrambled haphazardly throughout his arm and darker at his wrists. Tiny cuts littered his forearm and bruises were becoming more visible by his jaw. Levi tsk'd at the unkempt, disheveled brown hair. Brushing the little strand away from his face, Levi noticed the peaceful and handsome face.
'He looks like a teenager,' Levi thought, staring emotionlessly at the youthful face. Stupid brat.
Author's Ending Note:_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_++_+_
Chapter 1- End
Hey guys! Sorry, its a bit dry. I'm not very good at writing, as you can see, so my stories will be pretty bad until I get enough practice. I'm pretty proud of myself for publishing one chapter today. I did start on it the very same day, so I', pretty proud of myself, haha
I tried really hard to make it good, and I guess, it didn't work out to be as great as planned, but I think I like this one. I love this pairing a lot so I'm excited. For anyone who read author notes, Thank you! For your time and thanks for reading my silly story. I'm going to finish it when I have time. I'll plan on it more so that it won't be too bad in the future :)
I have so much to say ~~~ But thanks! Any review is welcome, please let me know what I should fix! :) Thanks again :D I'm so exciteeeed!
