Waking up with a headache and mouth that felt like cotton was not how Eren imagine waking up, but at least he was still dressed minis his boots. Getting up it was obvious that he wasn't home or any other places he been too, the room was painted a soft green and the large king-size bed he was laying on was covered in white sheets the dark wood nightstands on each side but the one closed to an open door had an alarm clock readying two in the afternoon.
Slowly crawling off the bed Eren peeked into the open door and noticed that it was a bathroom, the light blue walls and sliver/gray tile made it look really nice. The was a basket near the door and some of the clothes inside it made Eren's blood run cold but he shook his head of the thought thou the word Police was not one he was have a good time dealing with. Walking towards the other door Eren passed a dress he didn't fully notice on his first scan of the room but now in front of him it made sure it held his attention. There on the top were handcuffs and other odd and end things alike a tie and a loose change but it was the photo's he knew he had to get out of this place. All of them were photos of him many were new photo's while he was working out the café other's was him hanging out with Krista and Ymir.
Quickly moving to the closed door Eren tossed it open and walking into a living room; its pale red walls seemed to mock Eren as he took notice of a white couch and wood furniture. The TV against the wall facing him was turned on to the news, it was turned down low so Eren couldn't hear what the report was saying but from the photo and subtitle it was about a missing man that was found dead nearby.
"He was tortured for a week before the cops found his body; already to go into the grave, chloroform and everything." Jumping slightly, Eren turned his head towards the voice. "Armin." The blond smiled as he leaned against the bar counter from kitchen side watching Eren. "It's Levi's MO, he'll torture them till they wish for death; and then he gives it to them. Hell every cop in the state believes he have more deaths then what we came across, but he's so fucking good we can't even pin one on his sorry ass." Scanning the room once more Eren could see four more doors, the one out was more likely the one he would have to get past Armin to get to, but there was also a glass door to his left leading to a balcony, if luck on his side they could be on the second story so Eren could jump. It would be like when he was younger and climbed up trees.
"We're eight stories up, so don't think about jumping." Armin's voice squashed that escape route. "Your eyes kept looking to the balcony and I remember how you loved jumping out of trees when we were younger, so it was obvious." Eren turned his attention to the cop Armin looked well not even slightly bruised up, the white tank top showed off his muscles in his arms and chest, thou Eren's eyes kept landing on the gun that was in a strap holder just under Armin's left arm.
"Why am I here?" It hurt to talk anymore, the cotton feeling made his mouth really dry that those few words took up what little spit he had made. "I was told your under the 'to watch out for' list we have back at the station… and I couldn't believe it." Armin pushed himself off the counter and moved around it to stand in the living room. His blue jean clapped legs seem to only taunt Eren as he took a step forward. "Don't!" Rasping out Eren took a step back letting his back hit the glass door to the balcony, he turned his attention slight to the glass seeing his refection in it and the door past Armin had several locks on the door that it would take a good minute to undo them all.
"Now Eren, I tried this the simple way… I wanted you to come back to me willingly and I was happy seeing how upset you were at Levi that last time you took off his collar." Armin moved slowly closer, making Eren not even think twice as he turned, opening the glass door and run outside he stop short as his looked over the railing down towards the ground. "I told you there's nowhere to run." Arm's wrapped around his waist as Eren felt lips being placed on his neck just above the collar. "NO!" Eren tried to knock his head back to hit Armin's but Armin moved his head to the side so Eren exposed his neck more.
"But it seems he found his way into your good graces, were I can't." Eren was about to use his elbow to knock Armin back but Armin let go and stepped to the side making Eren fall back and landing hard on his butt and hitting his head slightly on the ground. "Be careful beautiful I don't want you hurt." Eren looked up to see Armin was reaching down for him, and in a last attempt to get free Eren reaching and grabbed the gun from Armin's holder and pointed it at Armin. "G…Get back!" Feeling his hand shake as he held the gun, Eren pushed himself back till he felt the side of the glass door and used it to stand up. Armin just straightens up placing his hands up in the air showing Eren he wasn't going to do anything since Eren had his gun.
"Now Eren you don't want to do this. With you here with me I can keep that murder away from you and you won't be on the list of wanted men." Eren couldn't help but think back to the night hearing the muffled screams of a man and from the news he had a face now to go with the scream. "Eren…" Armin took a step forward triggering the flight responded in Eren and towards the heavy bolted door Eren flew, he worked as fast as he could on the locks but a hand grabbed the his hand that held the gun. Armin was behind him once more and this time he pushed Eren up against the door and pulled his arm hard behind his back.
"AH!" The loud scream broke thru Eren's mouth as Armin moved to grab his other arm pulling it down and behind his back as well. "Got that sound was hot, do you scream like that when you're fucked." Eren whimper in pain as it felt his arms were being ripped off as he felt Armin lift him up slightly and moved away from the door, a thud was heard as they moved farther back Eren saw it was the gun he released while his arm was being pulled behind him. "Now I don't want to leave, knowing you're finally here in my bed but I do have to work in an hour." Armin walked almost carrying Eren back to the bed room as the past the dresser Eren saw the handcuffs and kicked upwards letting the back of his heel hit the wood top just near the metal cuffs.
"Shit, stop doing this the hard way." Sliding his foot over he caught it slightly, but it attracted Armin's attention. "Fuck, fine you want them you can have them." Armin pulled him away so his leg fell down; the cuffs fell to the floor as well landing only inches away. It was happened next that Eren didn't suspect Armin almost body slammed him into the ground knocking, breathe out of him. In the moments of his farther daze Armin grabbed the cuffs and slid the cool metal over his wrist.
"There, now be good beautiful and wait for me." Armin was up and shut the bedroom door as he left, still in a daze Eren couldn't hear if Armin left or not but once air was now easier to gain without too much pain in his sides Eren tried to side up. The off white carpet felt like sandpaper on certain parts of his skin that burned but the small soft ropes was plush and as he finally made it to sitting on his knees he could small red spots speckling here and there.
"Help…" He couldn't even hear his voice as he called out the scream from earlier and what ever made his mouth feel like cotton was taking a big effect on him, slowly pulling one leg to help lift him up it only sent him crashing back down onto the carpet. The fall made his head swim a little but he tried to sit back up only to meet the floor once more.
Laying there for what felt like hours Eren lost feeling to his arms, he tried several more times to get up but in the end ended up hitting his head against the dresser when he fell towards it instead of the other way. "He doesn't have to be prissy with me, it's not like I'm in charge of watching his lover." Eren heard a voice talking just outside the door, "Yea, yea I'm planting the stuff in the blonde's apartment right now… I mean come on why would he spent the whole fucking day in this place, I thought cops do other shit then…" the door to the bedroom opened and Eren tilled his head up to see the brown hair man from the bar the other day.
"Oh… I think I found the reason." Eren couldn't hold his eyes open any longer and fell into darkness.

Eren groaned as he woke; he felt hot the blanked covering him was to warm plus what felt like tape against his check was starting to itch. Reaching up Eren felt the bandage against his cheek, realizing he could move his arms he opened his eyes and sat up. The room was slightly dark; the light from the outside room came flooding into the room making it look familiar to him. But it was the voice that was talking low just outside the bedroom that made him jump from the bed and run right into the man's arms.
"Uh… Fucking shit!" Levi cussed as Eren hit him full force from his run but the short man kept them both standing. "Look Erwin I'll call you back about this… No I'm not going to let it fucking drop that fucker messing with the wrong damn person and I'm going to make him realize that." Levi hung up the phone and placed it into his pocket before wrapping his arms around Eren. "Sh. There now I got you." A hand rubbed his back making his legs feel weak that he didn't stop them from buckling; Levi's hand stopped moving and held him up once his knees buckled.
"It's alright; the drugs that baster used is still in your system, so don't try too hard." Levi shifted them slightly so he could lift Eren up bridal style and moved him back to the bedroom that they first fucked in. "You have to rest it's the only way to get the drugs out." Levi laid Eren down but before he could pull away Eren grabbed his shirt and pulled him back down and kissed him hard on the lips. Levi took a moment before deepen the kiss and grabbed Eren's hand and pinned them above his head. "As much as I like this need side, rest now and when you're not drug infused unless we both placed them there we'll continue this another time." Levi let go before moving to lie down next to Eren and pulled the blanket over them both. Not questioning the movement snuggled closer and placed his head on Levi's chest and listened to the heartbeat till he fell asleep once more.

Waking up once more Eren was alone in bed but from the sound of it not in the house. A loud laugh that belong to only one person filtered thru the closed bedroom door then a loud crashing sound made Eren wince. Getting up slowly Eren took noticed that he was in only in black sweat pants that was way too big on him, pulling at the stringing tying them tighter so they rested on his hips but didn't fall any lower. He stood up to hear another crashing this time the sound of wheels squealing and a voice yelling. "Drive, Hange! Drive!" Moving slowly to the door and opening it Eren poked his head out to see Hange sitting on the floor holding a game controller; Petra was sitting on the couch behind them tapping their shoulder and pointing towards the TV.
"Oh no Hange, you sent up the red alert you have to get out of there!" Petra called out as Hange laughed moving the controller to the left. "Oh, no! They're going to get us!" Both were so focused in the game on the TV that Eren moved pass them into the dining room it was there that someone finally to noticed of him. "Hey, sleeping beauty is up." The man with brown hair commented as he waved to Eren from his spot at the table. Oluo and the blond from the bar also turned around and looked to see Eren.
"Eren, how are you feeling kid?" Eren could feel Oluo's eye checking him up and down but it mostly felt like a big brother's way on make sure there wasn't any more bruises or cuts. "I'm real thirsty." The blond was the first to get up and moved to the kitchen grabbing a cup and filling it with water before walking up to Eren and handing it to him. "Here, is there anything else? Nausea, light headed?" Eren took the grass and drank the water down in two glops before shaking his head.
"That's good, I'm Eld by the way and that's Gunther…" Eld pointed to the brown hair man, before pointing towards Oluo; "I know you met Oluo and Petra so that covers everyone." Eren nodded and gave a small smile before looking around there another door on the other side of the kitchen he didn't really noticed the first time but it was open and the light was on so he moved towards it, Eld and the others didn't stop him.
Inside the room was a desk with a laptop and a small home gym which was being used at the moment by a shirtless Levi. "Morning beautiful." Levi didn't bother looking towards the door as he finished his reps. "How do you know it was me?" Eren walked in a little more that's when Levi did stop and turn towards him. "Cause I heard you from the kitchen and I threaten the others that it better be an emergency if they going to bug me while working out." Levi stood up and walked over towards him the gray sweat pants hung low on Levi's hips but it was the sweat that trailed down his chest that held Eren's fascination.
"By the way what is this Christmas thing your mother was talking about?" It took a moment for Eren to register what Levi asked. "Oh ever since I moved here I could never get the holidays off so we celebrate in the summer time… you know a Christmas in July kind of joke." Eren had to pull his eyes way from the sweat trails and look Levi in the eye. "Well baby, it seems you and me are going to take some time off than. Because your mother kept calling and when I answered she sounded excited that I was coming along to meet her and your father." That's when it took a full moment to hit, "Oh fuck that's right I totally forgot about it… Shit." Eren turned and rested his head against the wall before hitting it softly a couple time.
"What where is my phone? Hell where is all my stuff?" Eren turned to Levi shake his head before wrapping an arm around his waist and slightly pulled him out of the room before he started moving on his own, they made it back to the living room before Eren heard Hange's voice pipe up. "Can we watch you to have hot steamy sex?" Eren turned looking wide eyed at them which only made Hange roll on the ground laughing. "Go fuck yourself four-eyes." Levi come back only made Hange's laugher louder but Levi was pulling Eren into the bedroom and closed the door behind them.
"Here you might want to call your mother back; I did promise her that when you woke up, you'd would." Eren watched Levi grab a phone off the dresser next to the door and hand it to him. Opening it up Eren saw Levi didn't mess with it since the alerts of multiple miss calls was flashing on the screen. "Yea that sounds like my mother." Eren moved to the bed and sat down as he listens to the phone ring as he called his mother.
"Eren, sweetie." It didn't take long for her to pick up, "Hey mom you called? Like twelve times." Eren heard her laugh, "Yes I was finding it odd that you haven't called me to let me know when you're coming home for Christmas, but you boyfriend… Levi, was that his name?"
"Yes it's Levi."
"Yes, well he picked up and said you had a long day at work so you was sleeping… which I totally believe is a lie, I bet he's a beast in bed and your still recovering." Eren coughed as he listens to his mother's confession. "No, Mom it was work." Eren heard her give a sound that said she didn't believe him. "But anyways, are you still coming in two weeks?"
"Yea, I'm still coming home in two weeks so we can celebrate the holidays." He smiled as he heard her squeal in delight. "Oh wonderful and make sure you bring Levi, it's going to be wonderful to have a full house even Mikasa coming home and Armin promised to come by and visit." Eren didn't mind hearing about Mikasa but Armin's name made his blood run cold and he felt a pain in his arms as if someone was pulling them back. "Eren? Eren, my baby, are you there?" Eren's mother's voice sounded distant as Eren held the phone to his ear. Levi must have noticed and took the phone from him.
"Hello Carla, sorry about that I think I short fired Eren's brain." Levi gave a soft chuckle and gave short yes and no replies for a few minutes before saying good bye and he could wait to see her too. "Beautiful what's wrong? You froze up, and went white as a ghost?" Levi cupped the cheek Eren didn't have a bandage on.
"Mom said Armin going to be there…"
