Giving out a heavy sigh Eren closed his eyes; he really didn't want to be here and wear this outlandish outfit… well, he didn't mind the outfit so much but he didn't want to be here in the outfit. The white shorts were way too short and it was slowly riding up his ass to join his black thong every time he walked. The white thigh high heeled boots forced him to sway his hips as he walked so he didn't fall on his face. Don't get him wrong he loved fishnet shirts but the crop top didn't make any sense to him, the shirt already showed off everything, why does it need to be cut even shorter and shit why is he wearing all white clothes and the stupid white angel wings! What was this? An early Halloween party? There's still several months until Halloween.
"Hey stop your pouting, you're only going to drive the men out there wild." Mikasa's voice sounded irritated making Eren opened his eyes to see her looking through the crack in the doorway. She didn't help matters either she was completely enjoying her little black and red devils outfit, a black skirt being just as short as his shorts with a black bikini top under a red cropped fishnet just like his and these red ribbon lace heels instead of boots. Like he wore angel wings she had a pair of red devil horns on top of her head and a red devil's tail pinned to the white thong she wore.
"Well isn't that the idea? Drive them so wild out there that they tell us whatever we want?" Mikasa turned so he could see her beautifully done make up. She truly looked like a demoness that could seduce any man to hell… or this case make his life a living hell.
"Yes but I don't want to take my outfit off because those men are horny bastards, by the way I can't believe you're actually wearing a thong and make-up." She went back to peeking outside the doorway, Eren wanted to die of embarrassment right then and there, he didn't mind shit like thongs and make up, hell the make-up he had on made him look more innocent with it being all white and glittery but Mikasa only seemed to ruin it for him.
"Whatever. Is Smith ready for us, what's taking so long?" Eren moved to the door and peeked out he couldn't see much of the room but he knew it was dark red sitting room with several white comfy chairs everywhere and small glass tables next to them, the low light from the chandeliers overhead made the white chairs stand out even more.
"No I just watched him leave the room with that other dude who's bartending."
"Great." That only meant the client of Erwin Smith's wasn't here yet or just now arriving while both Mikasa and he been waiting for hours. Walking back to the couch, the room they were in was painted a light blue that reminded him of the walls at Levi's bar minus the clouds and birds and with the dark blue and wood furniture it made it feel very homey. Resting his head on his hand Eren just stared at the chair in front of him and pouted even more, he thought on the things he could be doing at this moment like finishing signing up for next semesters classes. There was still a few more he could take online before needing to be in a classroom. It was the loud hideous sounding laugh that snapped him out and he saw Mikasa was gone and the door was closed.
"Oh no, she didn't!" Getting up Eren went to the door and opened it, there was soft music playing and the sound of several men drinking and laughing but that was only for a moment, the light from the room Eren was leaving flooded the dimly lighted room catching everyone's attention as they focused on him. Eren could see that several of the men were reaching inside their coats or behind their back as he took a step into the room and closed the door behind him.
"Oh my, Smith so you did have an angel hidden away." One of the men said and gave a low whistle, Eren walk a few steps into the room, with the dim light of the chandeliers he could spot the outlining of each man but he still couldn't make out their faces until his eyes fully adjusted. The memory of Erwin asking him to be seductive for these men since they had information Erwin wanted, but looking at all the suit and just the knowing each one of these men had a gun; he felt more scared and shy and was really wishing he'd just stayed in the other room. A few more steps and he stood in the center of the room. Mikasa was sitting on one of the men's laps, that man with his slicked back black hair and neat trimmed goatee, dressed in a real nice black and red suit giving off a devil's advocate kind of look. He was a perfect fit for Mikasa was the only real thought Eren could think of, scanning the room again he could see their faces now and recognized a few of the men as Erwin's but the few he didn't he figured was the devil's advocate's since all of them were standing. Then there was Erwin… Eren had always thought he was hot but seeing him sit in the chair right across from Mikasa and the devil man he looked like god. The only one in a white suit he wore a light blue shirt underneath a white tie that was tied perfectly.
Fine if Mikasa wanted to pick a devil looking man he'll pick a godlier looking one.
Swaying his hips slightly more he made his way over to Erwin and sat down on his lap before placing an arm around Erwin's shoulders and resting his head against Erwin's shoulder. He heard Erwin give a sound of approval and felt Erwin's arms wrap around his waist.
"You always did have a way to attract angels to you, Smith." The devil man stated. Eren could hear the grin in his voice and moved slightly so he could see the man better and wished he hadn't. Though Eren could see he had black hair being closer he could see a few grays slinking through the black and a shadow of a beard with the goatee but it was his dark gray almost silver piercing eyes that made Eren grab Erwin harder, those eye seemed so familiar in so many ways.
"Now Kenny you said so yourself, devils have more fun than saints." Eren heard Erwin's smile and felt his large hand slowly rubbing his side maybe to relax him and his death grip or just to show off, he didn't know.
"Yes but my tastes are more like my nephew's… Ow…" Watching Mikasa slap the man's hand gave Eren some satisfaction but he had a feeling it was because the man insulted her and not stopped him from looking at Eren. She got up walking to the bartender and gave a nod to the man who started to make a drink for her. Several men laughed as Kenny nursed his hand from Mikasa's slap.
"I didn't know that, but it would explain a lot… like why he's not here now. Did you two fight again?" It seemed Eren didn't day dream to long in the other room since it sounded like they hadn't even started talking about business yet, he couldn't be sure though. Leaning up to brush his lips to Erwin's ear and whispered.
"Can I get you a drink?" in his glances around the room he saw all the other men had a drinks, Erwin didn't. Hell, Kenny even had one which was sitting next to him on one of the glass tables. Eren just watched him lean against the arm of the chair waving his hand in dismissal before grabbing the drink and taking a sip.
"So what is your little angel whispering over there, Smith? I hope it's good." Quiet, everyone remained so quiet it was so much different than the moment before he walked out. Several more moments passed, he could see Kenny was peeved as one of Erwin's hands moved down and grabbed Eren's thighs and rubbed soft circles there. Eren could feel his blood stir at the feeling but took a deep breath and focused on something else like the glares Mikasa was sending his way… how the fuck did he piss her off?
"Angel here was just wondering if I wanted anything."
"And I'm sure you're a man who wants a lot of things." Kenny snapped his fingers, one of the men responded by pulling out a case and opening it in front of Erwin and Eren; inside was a gun but it didn't look like a normal hand gun he'd held or seen Levi with. Which made it odd when the urge to touch surged …oh well; not bothering to hold it back any longer, unwrapping his arms from Erwin's neck, he reached for the gun. The man holding the case gave a jerk, stopping Eren from touching the gun. Looking up at the man he watched him looking towards his boss, Kenny. Turning his eyes to Kenny they just stared at each other for a moment. Kenny was watching him, seeing what he would do next… figuring that was a green light; he gently lifted the gun out of the case held it up to the dim light. It was cold in his hands, the metal looked blackish blue in the light and it was much lighter than any gun he had touched. He proceeded to take it apart and lay the pieces down in the case the man held. It came apart like a normal hand gun but Eren had a feeling it was different. He put it back together and held it out for Erwin to see.
"Well I think, I just became a religious man. If all angels are like that one, I'm willing to be a saint." Kenny whispered it but the room was so quiet it sounded like a shout. Turning to Erwin, Eren watched him give a nod and placed the gun back into the case just in time to see Kenny lick his lips as he stared at him. And just like when he first entered the room everyone jumped to reach into their coats or behind their backs at the loud sound of glass shattering. But Eren watched Kenny and felt Erwin's body against his; neither men cared or bothered to look where the sound came from. They just stared at each other; it was one of those old Wild West show-downs but with eyes only, Eren couldn't look away from either of the men.
"You should be careful Kenny, the devil doesn't like to share and neither does death." Erwin was composed as he spoke; it was hard for Eren to believe he was making a deal for black market guns and information. It was only when Kenny took another sip of his drink that the show-down ended and he could finally look to where everyone else's eyes fell… Mikasa. She was pissed, Eren could see anger flash over her face; she also had the audacity to have tossed her drink on the floor to grab everyone's attention. Watching her crossing her arms and puffing out her chest, it was obvious she didn't get what she wanted. Eren had seen the pout she was giving so many times that he just responded like he did when they were younger.
"I'm sorry." It was so normal now, he was always the one who had to apologize when it came to her not getting what she wanted… this time it didn't work to appease her. Eren just watched her get even more angry and almost in slow motion Eren watched her walk towards him and slap him. The force of her slap would have sent him to the floor but Erwin held him tight so he stayed on his lap, he looked back up at her… he was in shock. Mikasa always felt better when he'd apologized but watching her and the dark looks she gave him, she wasn't anywhere closed to being happy. Still being in shock he didn't hear what Erwin said but he watched Mikasa being grabbed by two men and pulled out of the room, he knew Erwin wasn't happy with what she done.
"Well shit Erwin, where the fuck does one find them?" Kenny's voice brought him back and he could feel the pain of slap, lifting a hand up he gently held his cheek. It throbbed against his palm; a hand grabbed his wrist and gently pulled his hand away, thinking it was Erwin he let his hand be moved but the position of the hand moving his wasn't right, it was someone standing in front of him and Erwin. Mind snapping back to his surroundings he saw Kenny standing there looking at Eren's cheek. It was Kenny's large hand that held his wrist and it was Kenny's gray-silver eyes that made him think of Levi. Because Levi had those same silver eyes and looked at him with the same solid stare.
"Levi…" It slipped out in a whisper, but Erwin heard it and gave a soft sigh and so did Kenny. Kenny's eyes went wide for a moment then he smiled letting go of Eren's wrist and standing up straight.
"Tell me Angel can you save souls?" It was an odd question; he really didn't have a response for it. But even if he did think of something to say it didn't matter, Kenny wouldn't have heard it. Eren just watched as Kenny turned to the case with the gun closed it took it from his man and set it down on his chair. Just like Mikasa but more willing to leave, Kenny walked out the door his men following right behind him and the rest of Erwin's men showed them out.
"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Eren turned to look at Erwin but it only made him more confused, Erwin stayed quiet and just stared at the case with the gun on Kenny's chair.
It was a long ride back to his and Levi's apartment and Eren was happy to be standing in front of the building now. He was still in the crazy white angel outfit but he was too tired to care, all his other clothes that he'd worn to that meeting were in a bag which he happily flung over his shoulder and started towards the doors. He remembered to pull out the apartment key before getting out of the car so now he just had to get up to his floor and to the door of his and Levi's place and hopefully collapse on their bed but the floor would work too.
"So tired…" At 2am he normally wasn't this tired even waiting for Levi those late nights as he finish whatever he did in his office till 5 or 6 in the morning, because then they come home and watch TV or play video games… well he would play video games and watch TV. Levi would clean the already clean apartment or one of his guns. It was the routine for the last week until Erwin called Eren saying he'd got a job for both him and Mikasa. Standing in front of the door Eren slid the key into place and unlocked it. If dressing up like this and getting slapped by Mikasa was all his job entailed he was content. And it meant she was far away from Levi. Opening the door he walked in, no one was in the living room and only one of the bedside lights were on so Eren figured Levi wasn't home yet, softly closing and locking the door he made his way to the bedroom with the dim light. Tossing his keys onto the dresser next to the TV, he set the bag of clothes on the bed and pulled off the angel wings placing them on the bed. He grabbed his collar from the bag. Contentment flowed over him as the collar clicked around his neck, he really did feel naked now without it, grabbing the bottom of the fishnet he pulled it up and off happily tossing it into the bag.
"Don't move." Levi's sudden voice scared Eren; he hoped he didn't jump out of his skin. Fingers softly brushed his spine, any tension he had melted away making his knees weak and almost buckle under him.
"Where did Erwin send you today?" turning his head slowly to the side he watched Levi move around to scan his body up and down, Levi's fingertips moved up to his shoulders and down his arm.
"It was some private club; he wanted me and Mikasa to play this devil, angel thing to help get information out of one of his sellers." Levi made a sound that Eren couldn't place, but it didn't matter as Levi grabbed his arm and spun him around and pushing him onto the bed, the angel wings and the bag of clothes dug into his back as he looked up at Levi. Levi was smirking down at him, as Eren took in what he was wearing… or what he wasn't wearing. Levi was naked and in the pale light of the room Eren could see the shadows of valleys of the muscles and like the gun he had to fight the urge to sit up and touch.
"Did Erwin pick the theme you got to wear?" Levi placed his hand over Eren's and held them still over his abs.
"Yes and no… he picked the theme but Mikasa and I got to choose which one we wore." Eren's breath hitched as Levi lifted his hands up and kissed the knuckle of each finger.
"Well tell me angel can you save my soul?" At that moment Eren saw Kenny's face and pulled his hands away like they'd been burned, Levi's eyes widened in shock for only a moment before he let it fall into his normal neutral 'I don't care' look. They stared at each other, this time though it was Levi's turn to try and not jump as Eren touched his face softly. Keeping his focus on Levi's eyes those silver eyes that he could see Levi's emotions flicker across and the main one was anger… but it wasn't towards him, no, that burning anger flickering in Levi's eyes was at himself. Wrapping his arms around Levi's neck he made Levi bend down to get a kiss from the man. Levi happily gave into Eren's wants but it didn't go any farther then a kissing since Levi pulled back and looked at him.
"What was the matter? You normally smile when I call you cute lover's names." A blush rushed to Eren's face… yeah he loved being called them, but why did he see that man… why did he see Kenny just like he saw Levi when he'd looked at Kenny. Erwin said it was only a small deal he was making with a top black market dealer, who had information he wanted, so he and Mikasa had to be seductive to get him loosen his lips enough for Erwin to get what he wanted. But letting out a heavy sigh Eren realized he and Mikasa didn't get any information Erwin may have gotten one gun but he didn't know how many Erwin had wanted… hell Erwin could have wanted over a thousand and Mikasa's little interruption could have ruined it for him. Letting his arms drop Eren gave another heavy sigh.
"Erwin was making a deal with a man for this gun and wanted Mikasa and I to try and get information out of him and he said the same thing." Levi gave him a puzzled look that Eren knew it said 'and what does that have to do with me?' sighing again he fell back on the bed, he really didn't know how he going to do this.
"The man's eyes looked just like yours, all silver but mostly gray… he had this devil's advocate look going on… and I thought of you when I looked at him…and…" If Mikasa acts up when she's not getting her way both of them will never get any information out of anyone… unless they want to see him getting beat up by her because he wasn't going to fight back.
"And?" Levi's voice was cold; he was mad.
"And I called out your name… the man looked surprised but then he looked happy that I'd said your name, now that I think of it he seemed almost too happy that I called out your name." Yes that smile Kenny gave him was too happy, like he'd found a gold mine and was the richest man alive. Lifting up his head slightly he could see Levi thinking, those silver eyes were distant then like a lightning strike Levi looked down at him.
"Did you get a name?"
"Erwin called him Kenny." Levi grabbed his arms and pulled him up, Levi's nails dug into his skin forcing a cry of pain to escape from his lips.
"He didn't touch you did he!" Levi's voice rose; it was hard to tell if it was anger or fear that made Levi's voice rise and all he could see now in Levi's eyes was deep madness.
"No, well yes but not really, he only grabbed my wrist before he left, but he mostly just stared at me. Levi please stop… your hurting me." Levi's nails almost felt like swords and looking down he could see small bead of blood rising from the thumbnail imprint. It could have been the fact Kenny hadn't touched him much or Eren's statement of pain that made Levi let go but Eren watched as all emotions left Levi's face before he turned and walked into the bathroom. Rushing water greeted his ears and a moment later Levi was back with a wet washcloth and the first aid kit, Levi set the small box down on the bed and gently washed the blood from Eren's arms.
"I don't need any bandages, Levi." Eren grabbed Levi's hand that reached for the first aid box, Levi was trembling it didn't look like it but holding Levi's hand Eren could feel it.
"I hate that man, Erwin knows that. If I could kill him, if I could cut him up like all the other mother fuckers I'd kill… It… it would make me so fucking happy." That statement took Eren back; he didn't know how to respond. Did Kenny know about Levi's hate? Is that why he asked if he could save souls… but how did Kenny know Levi and Eren only said Levi not any last name? So was Kenny thinking of the same Levi that stood before him with this dead look in his eyes. But all other thoughts were lost for another time, as a knock on the door grabbed both their attentions.
"Who could that be?" Eren whispered, he let go and moved around Levi to get up, he made his way to the living room and towards the door, looking back for only a second he could see Levi was following.
"Get back in the bedroom! You don't have any clothes on!" Levi looked down and shrugged and stayed near the bedroom door watching Eren as he made it to the door. Looking through the peephole Eren saw a dark skinned man dressed in a black suit holding a long white box.
"Can I help you?" Calling through the door, Eren watched the man look at the peephole and smile.
"I have a package here from my boss, he wants to thank you for tonight and asks if there can be another time you can meet?"
"I'm sorry. I don't know what you're talking about." Eren watched the smiling man vanish for a moment, likely setting the box down on the ground.
"That's fine, he'll find a way to meet you again angel." The man said, standing up he gave Eren a slight bow before walking away. Angel… Eren just stood at the door… angel… could that man be talking about Kenny, that devil looking man that Levi wants to kill. Now he really wanted to know the connection between them, waiting a few more seconds before unlocking and opening the door. As he'd thought the man had left the box on the ground. Picking it up, Eren closed and locked the door behind him before walking to the dining room and setting the box on the table. Levi now moved from the bedroom door and turned on the light and stood next to him.
"Who is it from? Erwin will always text me if he having anything delivered this late." Eren didn't want to say, he was scared, he was 100 percent positive he knew who it was from. He carefully removed the tape and lifted the lid. The smell of roses hit his nose before he saw the dozen long stem roses laying in the box, a white ribbon was tied around the stems holding them together. Eren felt his heart speed up before dropping to the ground. Was Kenny going to be like Armin? Did he have to watch his back?
"A devil I may be, but looking at you tonight dear angel made me wish for salvation." Levi's voice snapped him out of his fear, looking over at Levi, he saw Levi holding a card that must have fallen out of the lid.
"A devil I may be…. You said he looked like a devil's advocate…" Levi's eyes glared at the roses as he crumpled the note. All too soon Levi was marching into the bedroom leaving Eren to stand there. He placed the lid on the table before following. Now being the one standing in the doorway Eren watched Levi hold his cell to his ear. It didn't take long to guess to who Levi had called.
"Listen here you fucker you stay the fuck away from him!" Eren didn't know what to do, he couldn't move, it felt as if he'd lost his voice and it was all because of Levi, he heard the cold chills of Levi's voice but that one sentence spoke one word to his mind. With that one word he knew Levi was good at his true job after all.
Murder.
