Chapter 34- Goodbye Friend

Eren POV

My head throb as I slowly blinked. "Levi?" I softly called out to him. Upon hearing a dark chuckle my eye shot open and attempted to make out shapes from the dim room. "Who's there?" I breathed out. I felt scared but my biggest question was where Levi is. A tall dark man came out from the shadows and I gritted my teeth. He smiled mischievously and sat at the end of the bed. He reached out for me but I swatted his hand away.

To this he frowned and stood up. "You're in no position to disobey me, Eren." I tried to get up and run but I immediately collapsed onto the floor and in the process hitting my head against a drawer. "It's a shame that you've come this far." He chuckled darkly. "I thought he would get tired of you and throw you away." He crouched down and took my face in his hand. "Just like all his other play toys." I spat in his face and cursed. "Fuck you."

I was then lift up from the ground and thrown across the room. I could feel the blood trail from my head as droplets of it fell onto my lap. I was slouched against the wall and feeling drugged. "What the hell did you do to me?" Instead of answering me he got up and kicked me.

Over and over again. I felt like a rag doll and time wouldn't pass as quickly as I wanted it to. After he got tired I could hear the small breaths from him and my shallow breathing. It pained me to breathe because every intake of breath was another needle of pain to my body. "W-where's Levi." At that he then started to chuckle leading up to a craze laughter. He stop abruptly and pulled me up to his eye level by my hair. "He's anywhere but by my side thanks to you." He threw me to the ground. My eyes started to see small forms of black dots and then grew into bigger ones. Although before I fainted from all the pain I managed to faintly hear a few words. "Levi… I will make you suffer for what you've done to me." A door was slammed shut and my breathing seemed to cease as the black dots took over my vision.

-Home-

Levi POV

"Farlan!" I needed as much manpower as I could get my hands on if I wanted to save Eren. Anyone who is on my side will be willing to fight for me. "Yeah?!" He shouted over the chattering crowd. I motioned him to my spot and he ran over. "How many are here?" It didn't matter if all of the mafia members were here. All that matter was if all the mafia members residing here on my side were present. "About 200 sir." I nodded and glanced around. Thankfully the majority here looked strong. "Lose the sir and refer to me as Levi. Gather them all up." He saluted me and shouted to the crowd. "Give us your attention!"

The men turned around and gathered nearer to us. "Yes sir!" I frowned and glanced away, all there's left is to wait for Isabel's to give us the coordinates and we move. "Prepare yourselves and be ready on command. No fooling around!" Another wave of yes sirs were shouted and I sat on a nearby bench.

If I get my hands on Erwin I will kill him. "Si- I mean, Levi, What do we plan to do once were at the destination?" I motioned for him to sit besides me. "Once Isabel gives us the coordinates we round up the men and hurry to the location. We break up into a group of four, you and me are already one. We'll have them attack from the front and sides." I paused as he absorbed all the information. "So that means that me and you will go from the back while chaos ensues and find Eren from there?" I nodded. I knew he was the right candidate for my right hand.

He stood up and inform the group of the plan. After a few minutes I heard my phone go off. I answered it but waited for the other line to speak. "Hmmmm, silent aren't we? Well you won't be so silent anymore after you've seen the artwork I've done on him." I stood up and walked away from the farm house that we resided in. "What did you do to him Erwin? I'm tired of playing games. Just fucking come out and face me you asshole!" I was losing it. My poor Eren could be on the verge of life or death.

He laughed and that pissed me off even more. He then hung up and just as I was about to crush my phone it signaled a text message. I quickly opened it up and my heart sunk.

His hair was disheveled and messy. Traces of dried blood clung to his body while more blood drip from his head. His hands were tied behind him and his mouth was gagged. The bright green blue eyes of his were filled with fright. Who knows what else could be wrong with him.

Eren…

As if on cue, Isabel's number lit up on the screen. I stumbled to open it but managed to connect our call. "The coordinates are xxxxxxxxx. Levi you need to hurry now, they seem to be planning on moving locations!" I dropped the call and called out to Farlan. "Hurry up and get into the vans and follow my car! Farlan your riding with me!" The men scurried to the vans and Farlan ran into the passenger's seat. There is no time to waste.

-Some abandoned house-

Erwin POV

"Let me the fuck go and fight me!" He resisted the ropes that dug into his skin and shouted at me. This little… "Oh but that wouldn't be fun now, would it?" For the second time that day he spat at me but this time getting saliva on my rolex watch.

This watch was from Levi for my thirtieth birthday. I roughly pulled him by the hair and glared at him. "Watch where you're spitting or the next moment you won't be seeing anything." I remove my hand from his hair and wiped the watch on his face. The look of anger and disgust on his face. It brought me pleasure just to see it.

I started to walk to my seat near the door as he looked away. "W-what… did you mean when you said Levi had others?" Oh this will be fun. I sat that on the chair and sunk into it. "He had others before you, play things, I call them." He's breathing began to hitch. "I thought he would play around with you, use you for personal pleasure and game, then throw you out like a rotten dog." I could visibly see him seething in the corner despite the darkness of the room. "I think he's just blinded." I lift the whiskey besides me and took a sip.

He didn't move or make a sound but I knew he could hear me well. "We had a thing after he started working for me. At first it was just for fun. Something to pass the time with but then we started to get playthings." I placed the glass down and look out the window. "It was fine at first because he always threw them out before he got to close." I move my gaze towards him and met those eyes that must've entrance Levi.

"He doesn't like to be held down or attached to anything. But you. You broke those walls and now the Levi I knew before is gone. He's not fun anymore." His eyes grew dark. "You should thank me, I was the one who taught him all the things about pleasure."

And then at once the moment I've been waiting for came. "SHUT UP!" His breathing was short and his face seemed red. "I don't care anymore…" Tears form at his eyes. "It doesn't matter what he's done in the past. I trust and believe in him." His eyes became soft and as he gaze at me a new found of courage showed. "I love him and he loves me. We belong to each other and I know he'll come for me!" I picked up the glass and threw it at him. I missed by an inch so I decided to take matters into my hand.

A knock came sounded from the door and suddenly gunshots from all over resounded from all the house. I threw the door open and saw one of my men. "Were being atta-" Suddenly he fell limp and all the other men aligned along the hall were piled on top of each other, covered in blood. Men came running this way and I quickly came back into the room and locked the door. Thankfully they hadn't seen me run in as there voices ran past the door.

I pulled out the suitcase from the bed and assembled my gun. I took my dagger and hid it in my back pocket. "Eren!" I could faintly hear Levi's voice from down the stairs. "Eren!" It grew louder as he neared the hall. I glanced at Eren and saw his mouth open. I pouted the gun at him. "Don't shout or I'll shot." He closed his mouth as he shook in fear. "Eren!"

He was near the door and stood behind Eren. The gun was pointed to his head now as we waited for Levi to find us. The doors nearby open and closed but as he tried this door the knob only shook.

Suddenly the door came down and Levi stood at the foot of it. "Eren…" His eyes only saw him and it angered me. "Cut the crap Erwin. Just fucking leave and get out of my sight." I pulled the dagger from behind me and slit a cut onto Eren's check. "Oi you fu-" He grew closer and dug the gun deeper into Eren's head. " I wouldn't come any closer if I were you."

Levi POV

This fucker. On my hand were brass knuckles but at this distance those were useless. Thankfully I had Farlan wait to the side. "What do you want Erwin?" I leaned against a wall and he smirk. "You." I took a cigar from my pocket and lit it. "You know that I won't come with you Erwin." I took in a breath and puffed out the smoke. "After this is done I'll quit the hotel and disappear from your sight."

I must've pulled the right strings because he cracked. "Stop messing around Levi. You know you can't leave the mafia. If you leave I'll find you and bring you back." He started to laugh hysterically and the gun was removed from Eren's head.

I ran over to them and pushed Erwin onto the wall. "Enough's enough Erwin. It's time to cut to the chase." I whistled and Farlan ran into the room. "You can chose to live or to die, which one is it?" I took the gun from my back pocket and held it to my side. He threw his gun onto the ground and reached out for me.

I stared back at him as he started to caress my face. "If it's a life without you then…" He pulled my hand with the gun and positioned it at his temple. "I'd rather you kill me." With that he gave me one last peck on the lips and pulled the trigger. I dropped the gun from my hand and stared as his body slouched over me.

Flashback of all those pleasant memories together flash threw my mind. I felt a small lingering attachment but as I heard Eren's whimpered I pushed his body off.

Good bye Erwin...

I rushed to Eren's side as Farlan finished untying him. I embraced him and pat his back as he cried onto my shoulder. "Shhhhh, I found you Eren. Everything's okay now." After a moment he passed out. "Farlan could you call a house doctor to my h-" I was cut short and a familiar voice ringed behind me. "That won't be needed Levi. I'll meet you at your house just give me a second, okay?" I nodded and carried Eren out with Farlan following me.

I didn't look back, I didn't need to. What's happened has happened. I'll only look foward now.

-Home-

Hanji came over after an hour and showed up with her medical equipment. During that one hour wait I cleaned him up and changed his clothes. "He's asleep, you can still patch him right?" She nodded and followed me up the stairs. It was a thick silence and I couldn't help but know why. After another hour pass she finished disinfecting his wounds and doing a check up.

Despite working in the company with us, she learned to do typical stuff so she could help us herself. It's because of her that I've survived crucial missions. "He's fine Levi. Could you also go to the company early tomorrow? There's something on your desk for you, It's important so don't miss it okay?" As she close the door she turned back. "You can bring Eren but have him wait for you outside your office ok?" I nodded and she left without another word.

It was nearing the morning as streaks of light began to peek through the curtains. I removed my shirt and slip into bed. I held on to Eren and set an alarm before sleeping.

-In a car-

Hanji POV

(A little while before heading to Levi & Eren's house)

I started at Erwin's pitiful form. "You're really an idiot Erwin." Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pulled his cold limp body into mines. "Idiot…"
