A/N Hello everyone,
This chapter should be a little more light-hearted and fun than the previous the feelings begin to develop between our little couple.
I do want to give a special thanks to BerryMary096, for the wonderful reviews! You keep me going! Even if only one person supports this story, it is enough for me.
Here we go!
Third Person POVIt had been a week since Levi had heard Eren's story. He couldn't believe what had happened, and somewhere deep in his heart, Levi felt something twinge in pain for him. To have lost everyone you love in one day because of a mistake someone else made.
'I know what that loss feels like' he had thought to himself.
Classes went smoothly, and over the course of the week he had spoken to Erwin and the others, making it quite clear that he and Eren had gone over somethings and that he now knew a good part of Eren's history. He didn't push the demon to tell him what had happened to him when he actually arrived in Hell.
The others, at first, were tentative and worried about Levi, but after noticing that their friend had started coming to work with lessening dark circles under his eyes and whose mood began to be a little less grumpy, they began to think maybe Eren wasn't so bad for him.
Every evening after work, a crow would fly alongside Levi as he walked home, he made the mistake of trying to hitch a ride on Levi's shoulder and was rewarded with a rolled up newspaper to the head.
"Keep your nasty little bird feet off me!" Levi grumbled and soon after mumbled about having to have his coat dry cleaned to get rid of any dirt or pests. Eren squawked angrily at Levi for insinuating that he had pests on his person, but nevertheless, he did not try to ride on Levi again.
A routine had begun where Levi would cook his dinner, sometimes Eren would humor him and have a few bites as well, they would talk about Levi's day and every time Levi asked about Eren's, he always replied with a secretive smile and a "nothing you need to concern yourself with", Levi would clean up, and then they would head to the living room and watch something on the television or read a book in silence. It was odd how domestic the whole thing felt to Levi. Like it had been going on for five months, not five days.
There were times where Eren would wander off and Levi wouldn't hear or see him for a few hours, but he didn't question him about it. And at night before bed, Eren would always come to Levi's room and lean against the door frame he would watch as he got into bed. "You are being a creep" Levi told him, Eren just shrugged and laughed a little "Just want to make sure you make it into bed without almost killing yourself."
The night of Eren's confession, Eren had entered Levi's bathroom much to his dislike and he had chased the demon out of his bathroom haven and into the spare room.
"Levi!" Eren pouted, "Yours looks like so much more fun! I've never used a shower before, and this one looks dumb." He pointed over his shoulder at the plain white bathtub.
Levi was stuck on the fact that Eren had never showered before…
'Wait! So he is covered in dirt and grim and god knows what else he could get on him from being a demon!'
"How could you not have ever showered before!?" Levi yelled his face becoming a little red "You must be positively filthy!"
Eren crossed his arms, his hair falling into his eyes slightly "Excuse me, have you ever smelled me? I've been pretty close to you and I don't think you complained about my smell."
Memories of the night Eren had pinned Levi came flooding back. Levi pinched his nose and closed his eyes letting out a deep breath, he pointed to his room "Strip and get in the shower! The left handle is for hot water, the right for cold. The switches on the side determine the type of shower head used. For your nasty self, I would recommend switch three."
Eren laughed walking past Levi, ruffling his hair and heading towards the room, Levi followed. Once inside Eren turned to him. "You following me for a free show?"
"Tsk, stupid brat, I'm only here to make sure you don't touch anything in my room with your dirty hands."
Levi began to list the things he didn't want Eren to do until he was clean, as he ranted, he failed to notice that after he had said, "he didn't want Eren's dirty clothes on the floor", that Eren smirked at him and his clothing simply vanished. He watched with great amusement over his shoulder at the expressions that flew across the man's face.
Shock
Lust
Embarrassment
It amused Eren to no end. Levi's eyes became slightly glossy at the sight.
As much as he hated to admit it the demon's tall frame was built, and build well. His eyes raked slowly down Eren's body. His skin was tanned to perfection, his neck and shoulders were strong and Levi wanted to dig both his nails and his teeth into the muscles.
His back was beautiful but marred with criss-crossing scars, thin lines over and over fell down the expanse of his back. But it gave him a more dangerous beauty. His legs were long and lean but Levi knew there was power behind them.
"Hey" Eren called as he turned around.
Levi thought he had died, and he wasn't sure if it was heaven or hell he was being sent to, the shitty brat was perfect, his body screamed to be touch, worshipped, almost built to fuck and be fucked. His eyes fell to Eren's dick, and he almost mewed with pleasure, his girth was substantially larger than Levi's previous partners, and he was only a little longer than himself. Eren must have enjoyed Levi's drool as it had begun to rise.
He had to leave before he jumped the brown haired fool.
"Just hurry up and take a shower so I can get to bed." He turned quickly and talked out, Eren smiled and started the water.
It was Friday morning, when Eren had told Levi that he was ready to tell his coworkers that he was sorry and Levi relayed that message to them. Petra was the one who suggested that maybe they all get together to officially introduce themselves.
So that brought him to today, Saturday morning, and he was in bed staring at the ceiling. His clock read 8:30 a.m., pretty late for him. He heard a soft knock on his door. "Levi, you alright in there?" The sound of Eren's voice caused Levi to close his eyes and groan before pulling the blankets over his head.
The door opened and he could feel his bed dip "Come on we have to get food if you except to feed everyone tonight".
Another groan escaped the covered male.
'Why did I agree to have them come here for the "welcome dinner"? Oh wait I didn't…'Hanji in the end had voluntold Levi that he "had to have the party at his place" because "that's where Eren will feel most comfortable"
'It's all his fault'His sanctuary was disturbed as the blankets where pulled away, he opened his eyes and jumped slightly. Eren's face was inches above his own.
"Good morning!" His green eyes seemed to sparkle. Levi's hand shot forward as he attempted to push the demon away from him.
"Out! Didn't I tell you not to come into my room?" Eren leaned back "Well ya, but you had me worried. Usually you are up by now." Crossing his arms "If you don't want me barging in here, you shouldn't give me a reason to come in."
Sitting up Levi simply scowled at him "tsk."
Smiling Eren brushed some hair out of Levi's face making him tense slightly. Eren pulled his hand back "You need to relax, I'm not going to hurt you… Unless you want me to?"
Levi was about to question Eren about his statement when his chin was cupped forcefully, and Eren's lips were upon his own.
It was messy and hurried, but Levi felt like the world had slowed to a crawl. All he could feel was the roaring heat of Eren's lips. He could feel the demon's sharp teeth tugging at his lip and suddenly his hands where pinned above his head.
Although slow, things seemed to be moving quickly as Eren lowered his body between Levi's blanket covered legs. He could feel his hard cock nudge against his own hardening member and let out a deep groan at the sensation. Eren's lips moved lower as he began his assault on Levi's neck. Panting and beginning to squirm Levi pushed up against Eren, the demon moaned against the darkening skin that he had worked to create and he pushed down against Levi.
Hearing Eren's sound of pleasure made Levi's eyes shoot open.
'What the hell am I doing…?'He began to struggle in earnest "Off Eren! OFF NOW!" he shouted. Eren pulled back quickly as if burned by the very words themselves, but obediently got off him and then stood at the end of the bed, head titled to the side like a confused puppy.
Levi pointed to the door. "Out"
Eren said nothing but gave a simple nod in acknowledgement before turning and leaving the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.
Dropping his face into his hands Levi attempted to get his breathing back under control before he got up to shower.
"That fucking brat is going to be the end of me"
'But in such a delicious way'He may have been able to escape Eren, resist temptation, but Levi was unable to escape his desire, and while he was in the shower, he ended up getting a little dirtier before he got clean.
After his enjoyable shower, he dressed for the day. He threw on a black t-shirt and form fitting dark denim jeans before pulling a cardigan. The creamy white color of the light sweater seemed to give him a glow. He gazed into the mirror and smirked.
'Let see if he can keep his hands off me.'
He found Eren in the kitchen pouring two mugs of coffee, one black (the only way Levi would drink it) and one with cream and two sugar cubes. He set the mugs on the island and watched as Levi opened up the weekend paper.
Eyes skimming the page, they landed on something interesting. The Hollywood star that was mentioned earlier last week that had bonded to demon, was apparently no longer bonded. The story was vague and didn't have any detail on what happened, just that she was sad he was gone and hoped that she could work through it.
Levi looked up at Eren, "Can a bond be broken outside of death?"
Green eyes looked curiously at the human, "Yes, but it has its own price." Levi gave Eren a look that said keep going. He let out a long sigh, running a hand through his messy hair "A human can break a bond with a demon by revoking the contract, but he or she must sign another contract in blood stating that they want it severed, and then it is done" Eren shrugged "The demon moves on and with time finds someone else." Levi nodded thinking Eren was done.
"But, what the demon usually doesn't tell the human breaking the contract is that other than the taking of their blood for signing, they also take years off their life. The amount of years is determined by what was decided upon in the terms of the contract. If the human and demon bonded under the terms that they would be bonded until the human died, the demon is allowed to take as many years as he deems appropriate as he was to stay in the human world for a long time."
Levi digested this information.
'There is a lot more to this than we know. Do the demon really not tell the humans everything when bonding?' his eyes travelled to Eren 'I think I can trust him to be honest'
"So you are saying she lost years of her life?"
Eren nodded his face gloomy regarding the topic his voice quiet "How many? No one but the demon knows."
A shiver crept up Levi's spine, Eren noticed "Do you want me to turn on the heat? I'm a demon and I can feel the chill in here." He smiled trying to lighten the mood and a snort made Eren smile larger.
'He's acting like a love struck teenager, trying his best to keep his crush interested, waiting on them hand and foot.'
Letting him believe that his shiver was caused by the cold air in his home, he nodded his head and sipped more of his coffee. "Hanji and the others will be here around 6:00. I figured we could start cooking around 4:00?" Eren smiled, "Sure"
The day was spent in their usual way, Levi read, but this time he allowed himself to sit close to Eren, their sides touching, the only sound were pages turning. Eren seemed content to just let Levi use him as a head rest and would take peeks at the book over his shoulder. It was a book Eren had seen Levi reading before, he never caught the title, as Levi always made sure to take the book with him when he was finished, but noticed at times that his face would become flushed and his heart rate would increase.
Whenever he would question him on it, Levi would just wave him away and say he was fine.
'In the Dark of the Night' what inscribed on the top of the pages, he could hear Levi's heart race and the man's body temperature rose slightly, his eyes gazed upon the page Levi was reading and they widened slightly.
The man who scolded him for being too forward, who blushed whenever he got too close, was reading an erotic novel, if the description of the scene unfolding was anything to go by, it was a very erotic novel.
He was surprised and a little turned on knowing that Levi wasn't as prim and proper as he thought. The scene was downright dirty and it took all of his strength to not take the book from Levi's hands and play out the exact same scenario.
Then he smiled, he may not be able to pull off the whole thing, but he may be able to do a little something. As his eyes wandered down the page, Eren shifted causing Levi to sit up a little higher. He twisted his body slightly, his breathe upon Levi neck, the smaller man's breath hitched and he whispered "What are you doing?"
"Read it out loud Levi, I want to hear what happens next" was Eren's command, Levi didn't know what possessed him to do so, but he followed Eren's instruction, he began to read the scene that made his stomach clench with arousal.
"Keep going…" his voice was husky in Levi's ear, another shiver passing through his body.
"I wanted him to reach into my pants, I wanted him to pull out my hard cock and take it into his mouth, a mouth I knew was hot and would suck me dry."
Levi could feel Eren's smirk against his neck before the same man took his ear between his teeth causing a moan to pass Levi's lips much to his annoyance. Eren's hand slid down Levi's chest slowly, he closed his eyes tightly. Did he want Eren to do that to him? To take his cock into his mouth, he groaned at the thought, yes, yes he did.
Eren's hand ghosted further down, and Levi hissed as he made contact with his growing bulge but as quickly as it was there, the contact was gone and Eren was rising from the couch. Levi stared at him red faced and panting slightly.
"Where the hell are you going?!"
Eren gave Levi a small smile, "Out. I'll be back in time to help prep for dinner." With that he was gone and Levi felt empty and cold.
Eren was true to his word and returned just as Levi started to prepare the meal. He had decided that hamburgers and hotdogs with a few side salads were the best option for feeding a large crowd of people.
He instructed Eren to make the patties while he chopped up vegetables. They worked in silence, the activities of earlier weighing their minds.
Eren smiled to himself as he stacked each hamburger, He had grown fond of Levi as he had watched him, his personality spooked some people away but he found that it made him just want to be closer to the man. Deep down, he was quite soft and enjoyed the same things and had the same needs as everyone else.
It didn't take long for the two to complete their tasks, Levi shoved the salads into the fridge and grabbed the plates with the meats to take out to the back yard to barbeque. Eren followed, and as soon as he was out of the house, his wings appeared in a flurry of feathers. It still awed Levi, the beauty of Eren seemed out of place, he never though demons could look so… angelic. He snorted to himself earning him an odd look from Eren.
'Well he was an angel at one time you idiot'Eren gave a few powerful flaps and lifted off the ground, flying round Levi's house in lazy circles as he watched the object of his affection cook. He heard a familiar, loud voice yelling at him.
"Eren!" Hanji bounced up and down the sidewalk, waving at him furiously, he slowed his flying and gave a small wave back before landing in the backyard.
"Hanji and the others are coming up the road, they will be here in a moment." Levi sighed, not looking forward to the company, "Alright". Eren placed his hands on Levi's shoulders, squeezing them gently before placing a small kiss on the top of his head, wings disappearing leaving the telltale feathers on the ground, he walked inside.
Levi followed, his face a bit flush from Eren's touch. He was always so hot. He remember the feeling of the brunette's hands roaming up his chest and how they burned his skin in such a delicious way.
'I think I want more of him…'
And with a determined nod of his head, Levi knew he would have him.
