Eren
I don't know how long it's been since I last saw Levi, but it makes me angry. He lied to me, he killed both of my parents, granted I could care about my monster of a father. But mom, she didn't deserve that. In a fit of rage I tore up the photo of him and I on my birthday and it's a lot harder to remember what he looks like now. As I have grown up without him, I don't know what to do what to feel. I love Levi and I know my titan does too, but can I really trust him? I swallow hard as I finished getting dressed for class, I've decided to join the Garrison corps. Before he was killed Shadis believed I would be an amazing detective for them, I intend to follow through with that. I can track down Levi and get my revenge for him killing my parents and mentor.
I grab my backpack meeting Mikasa and Armin in the hall of my dorm as we walk together to our first class which happens to be self defense, everyone partners up. I'm stuck with Jean, while Mikasa and Annie are together followed by Armin and Ymir, Sasha and Connie. While I'm not a fan of the partners I deal with it because I need to get stronger in order to take down Levi. What I failed to mention to everyone is that Annie has been training me so I've gotten a lot better. I raise my hands up in front of my face separating my feet a bit before looking up at jean with a smirk making him glare.
"Come at me horse face." I say baiting him, his temper is every bit as explosive as my own.
"Fuck you Jaeger!" He growls throwing a punch at me making me laugh as I side step him kicking his feet out from under him. I look at him smugly as I raise an eyebrow.
"Now horse face I thought you were better than that." I bait again, he pushes up from the ground angrily going to tackle me. I side step him again grabbing him by his hair making him growl out a curse. By this time everyone's stopped just to watch us, Annie is standing by Mikasa with crossed arms and a smug smile on her lips. I knock him off his feet snickering as a woman enters the room, she's short with silver hair and big blue eyes. When her eyes lock with mine I freeze when I see recognition in her eyes. Right at that moment Horse face decides to tackle me again making me turn to him glaring making everyone in the room take a step back from me.
"Back the fuck up, I have something I need to do." I snap out making Jean whimper with wide eyes and in his eyes I can see my reflection, my normally green eyes are a glowing gold. I turn to the woman who is standing by the door staring at me curiously. I can't stop my steps as I back her into a wall, she stares at me with wide eyes as I place my hand on her throat while the other goes to her waist feeling a bump where her phone is. I search her eyes and somehow I see a memory unfold, its Levi, he's asking her to find me. I feel my grip on her neck tighten as I see him kiss her. I slip her phone out of her pocket into my own and by this time she's clawing at my hand making me throw her back on the floor with tears in her eyes.
"Jean, were going drinking tonight." I call as I walk away hoping to figure out what the hell that was that I just saw.
~The memory isn't recent, not from what I can tell. It's from a few years ago, around the time that Shadis died.~ My other self whispers making me glare as I walk quickly to the back yard.
"How can you be sure?" I ask as I sit on a bench all by myself.
~I'll tell you if you let me see him. I want to talk to him.~ I shake my head, there is no way I'm getting close to Levi unless it's to kill him.
~Come on Eren, you want to see him as badly as I do. That's why you asked that horse to go drinking with you. You're secretly wishing you'll see Levi.~
Shut up! Shut up damn it! I hiss looking catching my reflection in one of the bars of the swing set.
~He loved us, more than anyone ever has. He saved us from Grisha, you still wear that necklace over your neck and that jacket around your shoulders because you need Levi just as bad as he needs us!~
The voice growls making me want to hit something. Shut the hell up before I get rid of you. I threaten making my other half sigh, if he had control he'd be murdering me.
~don't tempt me Eren, I let you control me because you deserve some kindness after Grisha, but if I have to I will take control and go to Levi myself.~
He growls and I sigh again and I can almost see his smile. "Fine, but if I take over, I will kill him." I say making him grin like a fucking puppy.
~In Rico's memory, I watched her follow him to a hotel to kill Shadis. He asked about us.~ I shake my head refusing to believe it. Probably because we're next on his list of who to murder from the Jaeger family.
~Shut up you bastard~ He hisses and I decide not to fight with him any longer, pulling out the phone I stole from Rico and glancing through her contacts.
~it's his.~ He murmurs as we both look at the contact under Lance Corporal Levi. I send him a quick text to meet me at Sina's Eden at midnight. I'm surprised by the quick response that makes my blood boil a bit.
~Give me control, I can't wait to see him.~ he purrs and I sigh closing my eyes and falling back as he takes control of me. I see the world through his eyes as I watch my body move through his will alone. He walks us back to our dorm and runs to grab a towel and the most elegant suit he can find and goes to take a shower.
Levi
I blink at my phone, it's been a while since I've been in contact with Rico and now she wants to meet in Sina's Eden. I almost forgot she existed for a bit there. But that also reminds me I haven't been to Sina in a long time, I was always too uncomfortable with the thought of running into Kenny. But whatever one night won't kill me and it's about time I let myself relax I've been going on jobs nonstop for a while and I just need to stop.
"OOOOH who are you meeting short stack?" she grins like a manic making me sigh as I type the response quickly.
"Rico wants to meet at Sina's Eden." Hanji's eyes narrow as she looks at the phone.
"Don't you guys only meet when she's here in Rose. I shrug making Hanji bite her lip as she takes my phone from me scrolling through all of our previous messages.
"What if it's a trap, what if she finally gave us up?" Hanji questions and I roll my eyes.
"She never initiates the meetings, I don't think this is a good idea." I glare at her snatching my phone back.
"Fuck I get it Hanji." I hiss making the woman sigh as she lifts her hands in surrender.
"I will be careful, I just want to get drunk is that too much to fucking ask?" She shakes her head sitting on the couch.
"I'm sorry I just worry okay." She mumbles making me sigh and sit next to her leaning my head on her shoulder as she runs her fingers through my hair. Normally id kill someone for touching me but I'm okay if its Hanji, she's my best friend.
"I don't have to meet her until midnight so want to watch Netflix and order Chinese food?" I ask making Hanji grin as she runs to the phone and I look for the Harry Potter series. After about a half an hour, our food gets here and we stop our movie marathon to eat before cuddling up on the couch and watching TV until its around 10:00 pm.
Hanji is fast asleep and has been since the prisoner of Azkaban movie, so I slide out from under the covers making sure Hanji stays asleep as I go take a quick shower and dress up in a dark grey t-shirt and black jeans, followed by my combat boots and my new leather jacket. Once I'm done I slick my hair back out of my face and grab my wallet and keys heading for my car. The drive there takes me an hour by itself which means I will be getting here about 30 minutes earlier than her. Also meaning I can get thoroughly drunk before whatever this is supposed to be happens. I sit down at a small table next to a window and wait a moment before I hear.
"What can I get you sir?" I look up to see a young woman with shoulder length blonde hair and beautiful crystal blue eyes smiling down at me.
"A glass of whiskey would be great." She smiles softly giving me a curt nod before heading out to get my drink. she barely hands me my drink when we hear a bunch of younger boys laughing as they enter. There's one with an undercut half of it a light blond while the underside is a dark brown he has kind of a long horse like face, I see his arm wrapped around an equally tall boys neck. The boy has honey colored eyes that seem to be freaking glowing followed by a mop of disheveled chocolate colored hair tousled to make him look like he just got done having sex. His skin is tanned to fucking perfection, he looks so exotic and despite the youthful look of his face wears a suit making him look even sexier.
His eyes lock with mine and his eyes soften and he flashes me a dazzling smile. My heart races in my chest, he has perfectly white teeth and a dimple on the side of his cheek. He shoots me a wink before sitting next to his friends at a table in the middle of the room. There's a large muscled one with blonde hair followed by another tall guy with black hair who sits next to him. I blink realizing there's a woman amongst the group, she's wearing a suit like the other boys but her chocolate hair is tied back in a low pony tail, her skin is as tanned as the other boy except hers is covered in freckles. I sigh checking my phone its almost 12 and no sign of Rico I send her a couple of texts but to no avail, I sit there looking out the window drinking a few more drinks realizing its already past midnight and fucking Rico stood me up. I sigh running a hand through my hair, I don't even know what I was expecting but this was the last thing in the world I was expecting.
I was already fairly fucking drunk drinking whiskey the whole time I was sitting here brooding. I stood about to pay my bill and head out when the boy who looked me earlier stood next to my table.
"Hello, I noticed you sitting here all by yourself and I thought you might want some company." He says fidgeting slightly.
"Weren't you with your friends?" I ask raising an eyebrow, I swear I see a glimmer of recognition in his eyes although his face looks completely lost now.
"I..uh… yeah… but they can entertain themselves. I'd much rather get to know you." He mumbles looking down at our shoes.
"I guess I can spare a few minutes." I murmur gesturing for him to sit as I return to the seat I had just been sitting in. The blonde waitress from earlier comes back and stops next to my table again about to ask if we would like anything else when her eyes catch the boys.
"EREN!" She squeals throwing herself into the boys arms making him laugh as he pats her on the back.
"Hi Krista, how's work been baby?" He questions making me glare at him, why bother with me if he's already with the fucking waitress.
"It's been good not too busy." she insists as she steps away from Eren. Wait….did she say Eren? I look up and sure they have a lot of the same features but I remember my baby's beautiful sea foam eyes and this boy doesn't have those.
"Eren, call her baby again and ill cut your tongue out!" The woman from the table screeches making Eren and Krista snicker.
"What can I get you both?" she asks smiling at me finally acknowledging me again. "Um can I get a sex on the beach for me and -" He looks up at me expectantly and I decide I need a better drink.
"Four horsemen" I answer dully making her nod as she runs off to get our drinks.
"I'm Eren by the way. Eren…uh Kirstein." He smiles offering me his hand, I narrow my eyes at it for a moment before shaking his hand. I feel an electric current run through our hands and I manage to stifle a gasp that he doesn't.
"I'm Rivaille Ackerman." I say looking at his expression as he frowns a little.
"I..am not gonna lie….I have no clue how to say that." He mutters sheepishly as he rubs the back of his neck.
"It's like Levi but with an R instead of an L in front of it" I say taking my drink as the waitress sets it down in front of us.
"Cant I just call you Levi?" He questions looking up at me with pleading eyes.
"I suppose brat." I say shrugging slightly.
"'M not a brat." He glares playfully as he takes a sip of his drink.
"You look like a shitty brat to me." I chuckle making him tilt his head and bite his lip slightly at the sound.
"I'm not a brat old man." He counters smirking as I give him the finger causing him to snicker.
"I'm not old I'm only 29 years old brat!" I hiss as he sips his drink slowly.
"You are old compared to me I'm only 18." I roll my eyes making him grin slightly at the victory.
"Aren't you the one who approached me bright eyes?" I ask and we both freeze, why the fuck does that sound familiar? I look up at Eren who has gone ridged in his chair staring at me like a grew another head. I listen as he forcefully laughs running a hand through his hair.
"Sorry it's just no one's ever called me that before, I kind of like it." He grins sheepishly and I relax slightly downing my drink.
"Hey, wanna go for a walk?" He questions and I simply shrug it isn't too cold outside at night and if anything happens I have more than enough power to protect him.
"Sure lets head out bright eyes." I say pulling out my wallet and leaving a few bills on the table before Eren can grab at his wallet.
"So Levi tell me about yourself." Eren says as we walk out of the bar to a nearby park pulling me with him as he sits on a swing.
"I'm not exactly sure what you want me to say brat." I respond looking up at the stars trying to find all the constellations I can. I shiver when I feel Eren's hand slide into mine, he offers no explanation other than a shy smile. I don't do anything to move his hand I only give it a gentle squeeze as he opens his mouth again.
"How about are you single, do you have a wife or kids? What do you do as a job. Do you like dogs or cats." He rambled making me pinch the bridge of my nose.
"Slow down brat. Yes I'm single, no wife god knows I can't handle women. Kids…. I used to have one but he's gone. He left me a long time ago." I whisper as his hand tightens in mine his eyes glittering sadly.
"I am the CEO of a business, I prefer dogs they are more obedient, even though I've never had one. What about you Eren? Are you single? Have any stray kids I should know about? Where do you work?" I question making the boy laugh and the sound is music to my ears, he gently shoves me with his shoulder causing both of us to slightly start swinging.
"I'm very much single, no, no kids either. I'm actually going to college to become a detective." I stare up at him in admiration as he looks back at me and I can't help myself as I lean forward pulling his swing to mine. He's frozen as he stares at my face and unconsciously he's leaning in. I feel his breath against my lips as I look up into those beautiful honey colored eyes. Our lips meet and I can't help but smile into it as Eren returns the kiss whole heartedly. He tastes like chocolate dipped raspberries and I want to fucking moan at the taste, its unlike anything I've ever tasted. His lips are warm and soft against mine and I know instantly he's going to be an addiction. I want everything from him despite just kissing him once. When I pull away his eyes are blown wide with lust, I slowly run my thumb over his lower lip making him shiver as he stares into my eyes.
"W-wow." He whispers as I pull away allowing him to run his finger tips over his lips before looking back at me in surprise.
"What is it bright eyes, isn't this what you brought me out here for?" I question making his cheeks turn a pretty pink color against his tan skin. He swallows hard and I have to ask.
"Was that your first kiss?" He nods averting his gaze as he lowers his hand from his lips. I laugh gently making him pout up at me.
"That's not nice Leviiii!" He whines and I only chuckle before pulling him back and placing one last kiss on his lips.
"You should be getting home brat." He looks at me dazed with a longing I know all too well.
"C-can I at least have your number? Please Levi?" I feel my chest tighten at the desperation in his voice.
"I..uh…yeah, give me your phone." I say making him beam as he hands a small gold iphone. I quickly make myself a contact under Rivaille (AKA Levi) Ackerman in his phone sending myself a quick text.
"Don't make me regret giving you my number shitty brat!" I say as I stand, I pause noticing my hand is still entwined with his.
"Waaait! I need a picture I need a picture!" He wails tugging me back to him. I blink at him as he pulls me close to him turning on the camera so we can both see our faces on the screen. I smirk just as he's about to take the picture and I turn him so I can press my lips against his. I hear the shutter of the camera as I pull away.
"That should make one hell of a contact photo bright eyes." He laughs breathlessly as we both look at the photo.
"Make sure you send it to me. Do you….ah…need a ride home?" I ask as he frowns slightly before looking back in the direction of the bar.
"As much as I'd like to take you up on that I really should be getting back to my friends." He says looking down at the watch on his wrist. "It was nice meeting you Levi, ill text you soon." He says backing away with a wave as he runs back towards the bar leaving me with a small smile on my lips. I head to my car and not even a minute later I receive the photo of Eren and I kissing. I smiled softly at the screen before driving back to my loft in Rose.
