The moment that Eren and him stepped into the room, Levi felt like every switch in his body flipped into life. Suddenly all he can think about was the boy's scent, so fragrant and potent around him. Controlling his instincts was all that the raven can do once he closed the door behind them, isolating them from the only vampire left in the house. Mentally, he felt Petra step out and he noted to himself to thank her later. If he can remember after he gets distracted by the boy, who was now staring outside the window.

The boy's heart started to thump in frenzied beats, which could only mean that he was nervous beyond belief. Those frantic beats, sounds so mouth-watering. Previously frozen by the doorway, the alluring sound was what guided him and his feet closer to the visibly shaking boy.

"You make it so damn hard for me to control every time, Eren.", he murmured as he closed their distance, closing his eyes as he listened to Eren's heartbeats and rush of blood.

"S-sorry..", the boy replied, causing his lip to twitch and his eyes to open. Whatever Eren saw in his face must've been something because those green eyes were widening and his cheeks were burning. How delicate.

"You know, that drives me crazy.", he said in an amused tone, reaching up slightly to brush his cold fingers on the hunter's heated cheeks. The boy let out an unconscious shudder at that.

"L-Levi?"

"It's cute.", he murmured as he trailed his hand down his cheek before pausing on the tanned boy's chin, locking eyes with the nervous brunette.

That was when the boy's heartbeat started to sky rocket in his chest. Vaguely, Levi wondered if how was the boy feeling with such an active heart. Then Levi was pretty sure that that was the last coherent thought that he had as Eren's blood started to smell even thicker and more fragrant.

"Tell me if it hurts.", Levi managed to hiss out through his gritted teeth and edging nearer the boy. He had to wait. The first move has to come from Eren. He didn't want to be any doubts, any regrets. Even if he had to wait for the whole night, he will.

"Levi..", the tanned mumbled before latching himself away from the raven, causing his eyes to look at Eren curiously.

Eren moved away from him and sat on the bed. At first, Levi thought it was because Eren didn't want him to but when the brunette started to unbutton his top, exposing the warm skin underneath, Levi was pretty sure that all of his control went away. Even so when the said man blinked back at him, his face and neck tinged with red. How could one possibly doubt such, as what Levi can interpret, an invitation?

The bed dipped as the raven climbed on the bed, approaching him hesitantly. Mysteriously, Eren's heartbeat slowed to its normal pace, making him wonder why. But for now, he needed to feed, his mind told him as his eyes darted to the exposed tanned skin. Then his eyes flickered back up to Eren's, who looked determined and slowly, placed his hands on top of Levi's broad shoulders.

The next words shouldn't have stirred a whirlwind of anticipation in his frozen body. It almost made him feel warm. Almost.

"Do it, Levi.", he said in a breathy voice.

Fuck, he'd be damned if he didn't admit that THAT sounded sexy.

If he can get even more damned than eternally damned as he is now.

He felt his vampiric instincts creep up on him as he gently wrapped a sure arm around Eren's waist and tilt his head. The boy's heart stuttered in its rhythm as he ghosted his lips on that thin membrane of skin, a chuckle managing to break the moment.

"Isn't that adorable..". he mumbled, causing Eren to squeak, feeling the warm skin grow even more warmer. His wound started to burn, and he hissed softly.

"L-levi.. Don't worry about me.. Do it now..", the brunette sighed and tilted his head, giving the raven more access to the quivering neck.

Why does this brat trust him so completely already? Levi thought that Eren's hatred towards vampires was bone-deep but here he was, letting a vampire that he merely known for a week, feed on him.

"Won't you regret this, Eren..?"he tightened his grip, Eren's scent was overwhelming him now. It was teasing him, and it ignited his annoyance towards Eren's easy compliance. A human and a hunter, shouldn't be acting like this! He pulled away and slid away from the brunette, who looked at him with shock.

"Eren. Why? You're a vampire hunter, and yet..", his fists clenched as he stared at the nervous hunter.

"And yet what? Levi, what is it?", he followed after him, his hand reaching out for Levi, but the vampire looked at him like he was crazy.

"'What', you say?", he snorted as he pushed Eren's hand away and pointed a finger on his chest, feeling Eren's heart thud uncomfortably."This! You!"

"Me?", those verdant green eyes narrowing in response to Levi's incredulous tone.

"Yes. You! What's wrong with you? This isn't how a normal human, much more a hunter, should be acting like! But why? Letting me feed on you like it's nothing?", he took a deep breath only to wince at the desirable scent around him. "Are you dumb?"

"No! I'm doing this like I should! I'm not a hunter anymore, remember? You biting me then you taking me away from the headquarters! Wasn't it you who said that I'm your mate now?", the brunette retorted angrily.

"Yes, but without putting up an ounce of resistance? Are you some kind of a fucking masochist?", he lashed out.

Levi knew that he fucked up the second that Eren shrank back and his expression was pained before morphing into anger, But beneath that, he can see loneliness like he'd just been betrayed.

Was there some way to take those words that he said right now?

No, there wasn't.

Eren pushed himself up and glared at Levi, his stature shaking slightly with slight tremor that Levi wanted to stand up and hug him until he can make it go away. But that was the least wisest move to do now.

"I thought you were different.. But I was wrong,", he said through gritted teeth and scrambled out of the room. Levi was too shocked and overwhelmed with what happened that he remained on his spot, watching the other make his way out of the room. He listened to Eren's thudding heartbeats as he made his way down and out of the mansion, until those heartbeats vanished away from his earshot.

What the fuck did he just do?

Eren

The brunette ran as fast as he could and as far as he could from what he thought was his safe harbour. His footsteps through the dark forest and his panting were the only things that he can hear as he ran deeper into the thick foliage. Before he can catch himself, the brunette stumbled and tripped into the complete darkness. Didn't the moon shine through those trees enough for them to move around back then during his times before he met Levi? Why does it seem so dark now?, he thought lifelessly as he tried to get up on his feet.

The a sound, out of place in this quiet forest, alerted him. A strange broken sound, that sounded almost human but broken. Like it was pained. Must be something sinister, but Eren didn't care as he pulled himself up to his shaky legs. He lent on a trunk and wrapped his arms around him, hearing that same sound again.

Where the hell was it coming from?

And why was everything so damn burry, even in the dark?

Trying to figure where he is, Eren forced his shaking legs forward to start walking only to trip on his own feet once again. This time, he didn't bother to push himself up, allowing the trembling to engulf him entirely. There was that noise again. It irked him, not knowing where it came from as he blinked against his unseeing eyes. Manoeuvring himself so that he was on his knees, it was only then that Eren realized that it was coming from him as he shook uncontrollably, squeezing his eyes as frustrated and pained tears came rushing down his cheeks.

Seriously, why was he crying over a creature, a man who belonged to them, that he hated deeply? Why did it all spiral out of control? Why did he go along with the rush of his feelings? Why, why, why?

"Levi...", he gasped out between strangled breaths. Why was he missing him now? Why was he crying like the man told him to leave and never wanted to see his face ever again? Why was he so sad when Levi lashed out at him?

What is wrong with him?

Levi was one of the creatures that he swore to kill, right?

But why was the mere idea of Levi dying before his very eyes..

Dying in his hands, by the weapon that he himself fired?

Why was it shattering his heart into pieces?

Why does it hurt too much?

Levi...

Levi...

Why, you ask..?

Because I want you..

No.

I need you, Levi...

To be mine.

I need you to mark me as yours, too.

I need you to be my mate, Levi...

"Oh..? If it isn't a human...~", a voice said out of nowhere, causing the brunette to snap out of his reverie. His blurry eyes focused on the towering figure and his stomach dropped to its feet as something glistened in the dark. Right from where the voice came from.

"You look horrible, boy.. Why don't you let me take you to a place where there's no need for tears...?", the voice purred and that sent off every warning bell in Eren. The man, from what voice sounded like, closed in on him and grabbed his arm.

"Let go of me!", his voice shooting up in panic as the man inhaled his wrist and smirked. Without warning, the man twisted his arm upside down, eliciting a pained scream from the boy.

"What a loud voice~! I wonder if you'll scream loudly as that if I bit and sucked you..", he hummed as Eren panted and tried to struggle out of the man's painful hold. He yelped as pain shot up his arm and he trembled.

"You know that would only aggravate the pain, kid.", sounding amused.

"L-let. Go. Of. Me...!", he persisted as more tears of pain flooded from his eyes.

"You're the persistent type, I see.. Not bad, brat.", his grip tightened on him and Eren screamed again.

He needed to get out of this. From the vampire's hold. Some way, anyway...

Anyone...

"L-Levi...", the boy whimpered in his thoughts as well as out loud as he tried wriggle out of the wretched vampire's hold, ignoring the pain in his arm.

Then two things happened at the same time. As if in response to Eren's words, the man holding him froze, his grip on Eren slackened. There was an unnatural breeze of wind and the next thing Eren knew was he was in another set of arms. Despite it being cold and still, Eren felt comforted with it because when he looked up, he saw a pair of steel-blue eyes staring back at him.

Levi.

"L-levi..?", Eren managed to croak out as the man hushed him and pushed him behind him. Another unnatural breeze and Eren was met with the sight of Levi and that other vampire, on the forest floor. Levi was on top, a strong hand wrapped around the vampire, his eyes slitted dangerously. For once since Eren had first seen him, he looked like a vampire.

"L-levi! It's me, Auruo!", the man beneath him panicked and struggled in his hold. Levi must be stronger than the average vampire because he had managed to pin another vampire. That stirred a strange sort of awe for Levi in Eren.

The raven's eyes narrowed in response and the aura around him seemed to thicken, causing Eren to shiver in fear.

"I know, you dumbass."

"Let me go!", the man named Auruo whined.

"You. Give me a reason why I should spare you right here and right now.", his steel blue eyes darkening, at the same time his grip on him tightening, causing for the silver-haired to gag.

"P-petraaa...", he sputtered out.

Levi seemed to contemplate that for a full five minutes before letting the other go and jumping lightly on his feet. Eren's eyes flickered to Levi's arm and frowned. The wound was starting to look even worse. But it looked like it didn't bother Levi, except for the slightest twitching of that arm.

"I'm going to let you off this time, Auruo. But next time you dare to harm my mate, I'll cut you piece by piece.", he hissed ever so softly.

It was almost funny how the other shrank back at Levi's words, judging by how taller he was than Levi but there was a certain air of respect around Auruo and Eren's doubts were confirmed when the latter bowed in apology to Levi.

"It will never happen again.. I'm sorry..", the man said resentfully.

Levi nodded at that and turned his back at Auruo to now direct his attention to Eren. His lip was twitching like he was just told a funny joke and was holding in a laugh as he walked back to Eren and sighed.

"You know.. You were really loud so you shouldn't have called me out loud.", he said as he reached up to pat Eren's head.

"What...?", Eren's eyes were full of confusion that Levi finally let out the laugh he was holding in, a gentle yet bright one.

"Your little confession..", he mumbled in amusement and Eren almost choked, his face burning instantly.

Levi looked smug as he took Eren's hand and nosed his wrist, this time, Eren's eyelids fluttered at that ?causing Levi to chuckle.

"You already are my mate, idiot."

In a blink of an eye, before Eren ca let those words sink in fully, Levi lifted him up and disappeared with him ?just like he had earlier- followed by Auruo.

Reaching the mansion, Petra's expression turned from welcome to annoyance as soon as she laid her eyes on the silver-haired. Without stopping, Levi walked past her and Eren could've sworn that he let out a quiet breath of laughter as Petra whacked Auruo with a pan, cussing him out. The raven walked down the hall to his room while Eren's heart thumped in anticipation and was sure, that Levi felt that.

Reaching the door, Levi paused and looked down to meet Eren's eyes before reaching one hand to turn the knob.

"Once we get in this room, there's no return.", he murmured.

It was quiet for a long moment before Eren wiggled out of his mate's arms and stood on his own, albeit clumsily, before opening the door himself as he looked back to the surprised vamp.

His verdant green eyes glimmered in the dark shadows before reaching in to pull Levi by his collar, and almost practically shoving him into the crook of his neck. The vamp inhaled a quiet sharp intake of breath as his nose made contact with that tanned skin.

"Eren.."

"Fuck it, Levi. Fuck everything and the norms. Just bite me and feed on me already.", he tilted his head to the side to mumble into his ear. "I'm your mate and I'm yours alone.", he breathed lowly.

Then a sound echoed the halls, a gentle thud, from Levi's own door.

A/N: WAHAHAH! ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER RVERYONE! XDD / I'M SUCH A SADIST /SHOT

I know Petra and Auruo seem OOC but pleaseeeee forgive me for that-! ;w; As usual, thank you for the wonderful reviews you beautiful people~! 3
