My keys clink as they hit each other. I fumble with the silver key, trying to get it in the lock to my house. Hanji sighs quietly or so she believes before taking the keys out of my gloved hands. She slides the metal through the slim lock and swings the door open. "You should stop worrying, they're just keys."
"Yeah I get it," how many times do I have to tell people that? Everyone tells me to stop worrying, but no one realizes what its like to lose- no I didn't lose Eren. I kicked Eren out of my life with a "To China" sticker on his forehead.
Hanji pats my back when I walk past her into the house, I snarl out of instinct. Fucking everyone keeps touching me like I'm a wounded animal. She ignores me and closes the door, to get into my heated home.
I pass by the calender on my way to the kitchen, another punch in the face by reality. It's December, three months have gone by and still no sign of Eren or his "clan". Erwin's pretty pleased with that fact and I should be too but- how can I be happy when my only source of happiness abandoned me?
Tears round up in the corner of my eyes, I haven't ever had this issue before until that blood sucking brat left. I hastily wipe them away before Hanji notices. I don't want to talk about this with her.
"Oh Levi, I forgot to mention this to you but we found a trace on Jean's whereabouts." Hanji takes a seat in front of the bar. The bar that Eren used to write his reports on... fuck I can't even get that vampire out of my head.
"Don't" I turn to look her in the eyes, glaring all the while. "Ah I figured you wouldn't want to know. Everybody thinks you're heartless, you know? I knew that you'd never get attached to one of thoses murderers." She takes a sip of some coffee from starbucks.
"Hanji get the fuck out already, its a Friday night. I want to get wasted alone." Hanji studies me for a minute before getting up and baring me a farwell. The door creaks as she lets herself out. Once I'm sure that the mad scientist has left, I reach into one of my kitchen drawers and pluck out a little journal. Its a leather bound, nothing special about it well to anyone else who might see it. Inside are pictures upon pictures of the adorable blood drinking idiot named Eren.
Since he was a case, my special operation team had to take pictures of him. Which means all these pictures are of a clueless Eren. I flip through the pages, inspecting the pictures, tracing my finger around his perfect face. I miss him so much. The further in the journal I go, the more Eren changes. His eyes become more avert, if I remember correctly this is after he met Reiner. There's one photo in here that I always try to rip up but am never able to. Eren has his fangs embedded in a poor girl, her back faces the camera, his hands hold her tightly to his body. I bet she can feel his muscles from how close they are. I find myself jealous of this girl each time I look at her. I bet she begged him to stop, doesn't she realize how blessed she is? To have Eren drinking her blood. To have Eren depending on her for his life source. Fuck- I close the book and throw it back into the drawer. This happens each time, I get pissed off at the same picture.
I need to focus on dinner for right now, Eren isn't here so no need for me to starve myself like he is. As I turn around, a chilling breeze makes me shiver. Odd, I could have sworn the heat was up. I walk over to my thermostat and frown when it says 85. I must be sick if I'm cold in this temperature. After shaking that off, I resume making dinner. Or try to at least until a cough makes me slowly turn. Two women and a male stand in my kitchen near the island. Both girls are brunets but the man has black hair. They're all tall too, assholes. I cross my arms and narrow my eyes. So a bunch of vampires broke into my house, huh? Well I doubt any of them realize that I still have my handgun on me, loaded with silver bullets. Try me.
The tallest woman steps forward, her freckles would make her cute if she lost the glare.
"We need to talk, so listen up Levi. We're from Eren's Clan." My interest in her immediately sparks, I drop my furious expression not needing it anymore.
"Ymir are you sure we should be here? I thought you said we were just getting a quick bite." The other brunet questions Ymir. The boy sighs, "Sasha stop asking questions you know the answer to. Of course we shouldn't be here. Eren already made it obvious that Levi was off limits." They all shudder at what freckle Jesus says. What did Eren do?
"How is he?" I try to stop myself from asking but the sentence leaves my lips before I realize it. They turn their attention back to me, Ymir raises an eyebrow and smirks. "I told ya, Marco. If Eren's been moping around then so has this bastard. Eren's not fine, I won't lie. He misses you like crazy but he's under the belief that you hate him. We actually came here to get that notebook of yours." A growl rumbles from my throat, they can't take the journal its all I have left.
"Um haha what Ymir meant to say was, if we could have proof that you still care for Eren that would be appreciated." Marco stands in front of Ymir, trying to turn my attention away from her. I stop growling, oh Eren. If only it was you here instead. I wouldn't let you ever leave me again.
"I don't have any proof, either take me to him or make him come here. I- I need to see him." I plead feeling the need to see that goof ball again.
"He wouldn't come here even if we dragged him. You'll have to come with us. But we'll have to knock you out, Eren doesn't want any human to know how to get to our house." Ymir walks around the island and places a hand on my shoulder. I want to back away from the contact but- "Do it" my choice is clear. I pull my gun out, making all the vampires stiffen with fear, then place it on the table. Now I'm weaponless. I pick up the journal from my still opened drawer and place the small book in my coat pocket. Once I'm read I look over at the tall brunet and nod my head, I need to see Eren. One minute I'm awake and the next, passed out.
Firm hands shake me awake, none too gently might I add. Snapping my eyes open, I immediately glare at the man in front of me. A brown haired boy with golden eyes sits in front of me. Jean? The cadet was assigned to Marco's case, Jean was suppose to get more information on vampires but he must have fallen in love with the monsters too. Jean left soon after Eren did. He didn't even bother to tell anyone where he was going. His apartment was untouched too.
"I'm awake so stop touching me." I yell out, all this physical connect is starting to annoy me. Jean stands up and stretches. Without having to worry about his touching, I'm able to look around. We're in a fairly clean room, a window peaks behind dark curtains. From the dark outline, it must be night. How long did it take to get here?
"Um Marco told me to take you in here. I also was told to tell you the rules. Okay so no humans or vampires are allowed to leave without permission. Since you're new, you can't go outside the house yet. I know it seems unfair but with the Survey Corps following after us-" I stand up, "so you started calling them that too? The Wings of Freedom sounds better." Jean shrugs, "I think Eren dislikes the fact that they call themselves The Wings of Freedom when they take that freedom away from vampires. Anyways so lets see, ah no killing anyone. That's extremely frowned upon. I think that's it for you at least. Just don't cheat on your inamorato. But that's obvious. Any questions?" Jean walks out of the room once I shake my head no. My heart begins to beat faster, Eren lives here. I'll get to see him again. Tears drip from my eyes, I can't find the strength to stop it.
Only a few tears fall but I immediately wipe them away. There aren't a lot of items in this room just a bed, a small maroon love seat, and a desk. On the desk is a lamp along with five or six journals stacked beside it. With too much curiosity, I walk over to the desk and read the open book. A half filled out page has been scribbled on with what looks to be some of the most beautiful handwriting ever. I start to read it but a weird feeling makes me stop. Footsteps echo off the walls from behind me, making my head snap towards the sound.
Tears threaten to fall again at the sight of him. His brown hair is in clumps, he hasn't been combing it lately has he? I trace his body with my eyes, examining every part of him. His clothes hang loosely around his slim figure. He isn't taking care of his body, I begin to rush towards him but he throws an arm up. The action makes me stop but not from any of "powers", I saw his eyes for the first time since that day. Instead of the beautiful ocean green eyes I love, blood red fills his iris. He's starving.
"Eren?" I let out a shaky breath, loving the fact that he's here so close to me. Eren turns away, hugging his body. I take a step forward, knowing that he could attack me but he won't. Eren is too good to do that to me.
"I told them to leave you out of this. I'm sorry they dragged you here, I'll go get Marco to take you home." Take me home? No! I rush at the boy and lock my arms around his waist. He stills and looks down at me. Those haunting red eyes, remind me of what I am, why I'm here.
"I've been looking for you, Eren. I missed you." Eren smiles, that huge and dork smile that I've fallen in love with. I release him of my awkward grip, to stand in front of him. He opens his arms, letting me wrap my arms around him once more.
"I've been avoiding you Levi, to be honest I thought you hated me." He huffs out a laugh at the end, to make it seem like he's joking. I look up at him and frown. "I could never hate you, Eren." His eyes soften at my words, "then why are you looking at me like I'm a monster?" His voice is soft and slow filled with defeat. "Your eyes, they startled me." I reach up and begin to caress his cheek. He leans into my touch, a small smile rests on his face.
"I haven't feed," he leaves the rest unsaid. He hasn't feed since he threw up all that blood. Its been months, he should be dead by now. I want to ask him how he's still alive but decide to ask that later. When he's not hungry.
"Then drink from me, or someone else." I add the last part hastily, maybe Eren thinks my blood smells bad? Eren chuckles but the laugh never reaches his eyes. A dangerously hungry aura illuminates off of the red orbs.
"If I could drink from anyone else I would have. I should have seen this coming though, once I became attached to a human, its impossible for me to drink from anyone else now. Their blood either tastes like sour milk or piss. I puke for almost three- no four hours afterwards." My hand moves down to his neck, to pull his head closer to my neck. He tries to move away but my grip tightens. His head comes to rest on my shoulder.
"Then drink from me, I want you to have my blood in your veins." Whimpering erupts from his throat, he wants too so badly so what's holding him back? I gave him my permission. Right when I'm about to question him, his hands snake around my waist, and shove my body to his.
"I don't want to hurt you, Levi. If I start to drink from you I might not stop." His lips move to my neck, his breathing tickles my skin. I shiver from the sensation. "Shut up and just bite me. I've been dreaming about this for four months now." Eren laughs, before his tongue slides against my skin. The wet muscle moves up and down on the vein, I try to muffle the moan that creeps out from my lips.
Right when I think Eren is going to bite me, he steps away. His hand takes mine and leads me to the bed. After sitting down, Eren crawls down next to me. His freezing cold hands sneak under my shirt and trace my stomach. "Eren" I moan out, please bite me.
His fingers stop moving, then pull my shirt up and over my head. Successfully taking my shirt off, I'm left topless in the chilly room. My nipples begin to harden at the temperature, fuck Eren please don't notice. But Eren does notice, he even grins when he sees it.
"I don't want you getting blood on your shirt, plus I wanted to feel you again. Its been too long." And with that Eren pushes me down to pin me against the bed. He leans down and begins to kiss my jaw then my neck leaving a thin trail of silva. His lips ensnare one of my nipples before I realize how far down he's gone. His tongue swipes out at the hard piece of flesh, erecting a moan from me. S-shit stop it. After a minute of his teasing, I start to pant.
"Do you still want me to bite you?" His voice, oh shit, it sends more blood to my boner. I nod my head, oh god please bite me. I need to feel you. His lips open to reveal two sharply-pointed fangs, he then runs his tongue over his lips. My body reacts before I can think, pulling his lips down onto mine, his fangs poke my lip but do nothing more. He tastes so good, I miss the after taste of his lips on mine.
He pulls away too soon and moves to my neck. His lips touch my neck briefly as if to say sorry. Then he digs his fangs into my skin. The two teeth hurt like a son of a bitch but I almost immediately feel the pleasure ring throughout my body. A vampire's bite does this to us humans and man does it feel good. A moan leaves my lips as Eren sucks down my blood. His hands intertwine with mine. Dizziness creeps up on me too soon, telling me that Eren's had enough. I try to tell him but my voice only creates another moan.
My vision becomes blurred but I don't try to stop him like I should. Eren retracts his fangs and pulls away with hard breaths. I start to laugh, I'm in one of those slap happy moods aren't I? "Vampires don't need to breath, you're so silly Eren." I'm interrupted by a yawn, man am I tired. It's been a pretty emotional day for me. With seeing Eren again and feeling so... needed, who knew I would actually want to be bitten one day, I want to curl up with my lover and sleep till the end of the world.
But a laugh from Eren brings me back to reality. His laugh has always sounded so beautiful. "I've missed your scent, I took one of your shirts but from the lack of you wearing it, it started to smell like me. Sorry if I look weird." He mumbles the last part, looking away from me. No I need to see him, every part.
"Eren look at me," I command to the brat, "Eren if you don't look at me then I'll-" My rest of my words cease to exist as Eren's mouth comes crashing down on mine. His lips feel warmer than before, ah these lips have always been soft. So soft and nice.
I wrap my arms around his body. His fingers are already embedded in my locks. He's starting to warm up again, I used to think it was funny how Eren was always so cold when most vampires feel like the sun. But all that humor left when I realized that Eren hardly ate. He'd rather starve himself than hurt others or that was what I use to believe. We did research on Eren for weeks after he left, Mikasa would come in to tell us the many ways he would find a drink. Eren is a monster, he's cold blooded and swallow but-
I wouldn't change him no matter what.
Eren's lips rest against mine, finishing our kiss. "Do you really think I'm swallow?" He murmurs against me. Fuck sometimes I forget he can read minds. "Yes, you do enjoy killing people don't you?" The vampire says nothing for a few minutes. I open my eyes to see his reaction, but I find myself smiling when the red eyes are gone. Ocean green eyes look down at me, they sparkle with happiness.
"I don't enjoy killing people, I like drinking their blood. But killing them? Its too hard to kill anyone these days. Everyone notices when they disappear. I've only killed two people and both of them deserved it. My father killed everyone he drank from. My mother was the only woman to not die from his bite." My hands move up his body till they rest on his face.
"Who was the other one?" Eren sinks down to lay completely on top of me. I press my face into his neck, he's always smelled so good.
"I'd rather not tell you since its a bit of a sad story. Lets just lay here and go to sleep." The childish part of Eren comes out when he's sleepy. Its so adorable to see.
"Eren, do you think you could forgive me? I'm sorry that I didn't tell you until that day. I was just being selfish. I wanted to remain like a normal couple." His breathing stops but mine continues. "I have forgiven you Levi, but I don't know whether to kick you out or make you mine. You're Humanity's Strongest, Erwin is going to hunt me down to find you. They're under the belief that you didn't love me, so this looks more like a kidnapping than a reunion." I nod my head, he's right. He's so right, dammit I didn't even leave a note or anything. I push the young boy off of me and dig into my pockets for my phone. After a few minutes of searching each pocket I come to the conclusion that I lost it. Eren takes my hands in his, a guilty look surfaces on his face.
"I ordered them to break your phone, we sent a message to Erwin telling him you were going on a surprise vacation. He didn't reply back before we broke it. Its something I've made all the humans do." Leaning forward, I kiss the look off his face. "Don't look so sad, I understand. I was just about to do the same thing."
A smile lights up his face, "so can we go to sleep now?" Without another word, I pull him into my embrace. We fall asleep in each other's arms. I doubt anyone could pull us part now, even in our sleep.
