Eren's POV
Eren stared back into the demon's slivery eyes, gobsmacked. He looked completely different from the other demons he had come across, and looked as though he was around Eren's age. He had Raven black hair, that nearly reached down to his shoulders, his skin pale but beautiful. His eyes were full of pain and anger, a whole storm rushing behind them. Eren looked down to this demon's hands and noticed how he was tightly clutching onto a knife, his palm stained in blood. Not that he could talk though. He was practically covered in blood. Although this boy looked unkept, his features were so refined and you could tell that he was beautiful.
Eren didn't realise he was staring until he heard shouting behind him. Shit... He thought, turning his head around to look at them. Panicking slightly, he got up. "I-I'm sorry. I just really need to go.." Eren stuttered, quickly getting up. He was about to run on but he saw demons coming towards him. "I'm going to die here... he thought, feeling like bursting into tears.
"No. Not here." Eren heard the demon say before he felt a tight grip around his wrist and pull him to a random direction. Slightly surprised, he pulled himself together and began to pick up the pace, running along with this boy. Who was he, by the way? Why would he save Eren? What reasons did he have? Eren pushed all these thoughts aside and focused more on getting away. The only question in his mind was 'why was a demon helping him get away from other demons?'
The two boys turned a corner and entered an alleyway, keeping their backs to the wall, hoping the other demons wouldn't find them.
"He's disappeared."
"Where has he gone?!"
"I will find you, you bastard!"
"Split up and find Levi!"
"Find that brat!"
Eren heard those shouts, some directed at him, others directed at someone else. Probably the demon boy he was with. "Levi..." Eren muttered under his breath, assuming that was his name.
"What is it brat?" he hissed back, sitting against the wall, panting slightly, annoyance clearly showing on his face.
"So that is your name?" Eren asked, wanting him to confirm it.
"Yes. Got a problem with that?" Levi aksed, tilting his head slightly to the side, giving Eren a death glare.
"N-no. Not at all. I-I'm Eren." Eren told Levi, holding his hand out to him. Levi just looked at Eren's hand, then back into Eren's eyes.
"Why are you covered in blood?" Levi asked, causing eren to shiver and feel nauseous.
"I-I'd rather not answer that..." was his answer. "Besides, I could ask you the same."
"True. " Levi said, standing up. "Except I'll be able to answer it without feeling like I'm going to puke."
"How did you.." but he was cut off almost instantly.
"I can see it in your eyes."
"Oh..." Eren answered, looking down. Eren sat down, closing his eyes and lifting his head up,panting in both exhaustion and fear. His heart was racing and there was nothing he could do to slow it down. After a few minutes, he broke the silence between them. "So why did you save me? You could've just left me there, you know."
"I know that. The reason I saved you was because you were an Angel."
Fuck. He's going to kill me, isn't he? no. I can't let that happen. Eren shivered slightly, about to get up but a foot slamed on the wall, beside him. "Where do you think you're going?" Eren looked up at Levi, his face going pale.
"H-home..." he answered, nervously.
"Is that so...?" Levi lifted his foot off the wall and crouched down so that he was face to face with Eren. Taking out the knife, he slowly placed it against his neck. "Not yet." Eren felt his eyes well up with tears.
"P-please don't kill me...Please.." he whispered, a couple of tears falling down his face. Levi's expression softened and he took the knife away.
"I'm not going to kill you, brat. I was only kidding. No need to cry."
"Idiot." Eren shoved Levi lightly, chuckling a little, full of relief. He lifted his hand to his face, about to wipe away his tears but then saw the blood on his hand, knowing it'd get on his face if he did. Sighing in annoyance, he would just have to deal with the tear stains on his face.
Levi's POVS
Levi, however, seemed to notice this and dragged his thumb across Eren's face. He didn't like the sight of this poor, beautiful Angel crying. It would tugg at his heart strings. "Oi brat. Quit crying okay? I'll help you get back home if you want.." he started, wiping away the tear stains, "But first I want to ask you some questions. Okay?"
"Is that why you're being so kind to me?" Eren asked, his beautiful, ocean eyes glistening back into Levi's.
"You could say that. Besides, don't you have any questions for me?"
"Loads." Levi smiled a little at Eren's response.
"Good." he got up and looked around the corner. The demons had gone. But even so... "Let's stay here. It's safer. I've never been here before so I don't know my way around."
"Same here. I must say though. I wasn't expecting it to be so gory."
Gory? What did he mean by that? "Gory? How is it gory?"
"The red on the carpet is Angel blood to start off with. The main reason why I'm covered in blood." Levi saw Eren gag, as though he woud throw up any second.
"Don't say it if it makes you feel sick. However, if that's the reason you're covered in blood, then why were demons chasing you?" Levi asked curiosly.
"So demons have the sense of curiosity too then?" Eren asked.
"I guess you could say that. Why?" Levi asked, slightly confused. Eren then clear his throat.
"Curiosity killed the cat...Is what all the Angels say. However they always forget to finish the saying. Yes, curiosity killed the cat yet satisfaction brought it back. I think, that in the whole of heaven, I am the only curious soul, but now that I have found you, I guess I'm not alone." Eren explained, giving Levi a small smile. His smile. It brings me joy for some reason. It's just so beautiful, Levi thought, giving Eren a small smile back. Yes, Levi liked this Angel. He didn't know why. There as just something about him that Levi liked and it wasn't very often that Levi found someone he liked. "How old are you, Angel brat?"
"Why do you call me a brat?"
"Answer my question first."
"Twelve. Twelve Angel years old. Human years, that would be twelve thousand."
"Humans?" More and more questions piled up in Levi's head. This Angel was sure intersting, yet it was highly unlikely that he'd be able to ask all the questions he had at once.
"I'll tell you about those later. Answer my question first. Why do you call me brat?"
"Because you are one."
"But you don't even know me!" Eren exclaimed in surprise and a little annoyance. Levi chuckled at his reaction.
"True but you just seem like one. In fact, that's your new nickname. Only I am allowed to call you that. No one else. You hear me?" He said, sternly.
"Okay... I guess I'll just have to get used to it then." Eren sighed, looking down. "How old are you then?"
"Thirteen. In Demon years, if that's a thing. I don't know if Angel years and Demon years are different though. I'll have to look that up when I get home." Levi answered, getting up. "Do you think you need help getting home?"
"No. I think I can manage."
"Well then, see you." Levi waved the turned to walk away.
"Wait!" he felt a small hand grab onto his wrist. "Will we see each other again?"
"I'd like to think so. In fact, same place, same time tomorrow. I'll be expecting you brat." And with that, Levi left the small Angel alone and started to head in the direction he came from, retracing his steps. I'll be sure to see him again. Who knows. This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
A/N: Did you get my reference in the end? Yes? No? Okay then. In case you are wondering, the reason why Levi shows emotion, is because he is a child/teenager. There's a reason why he becomes emotionless but that's later on in the story. Anywho, have a wonderful day my wonderful readers.
