Chapter 19

A knock came from the door. It was a soft knock but it can be heard over the pattering of the raindrops outside, it is still around four in the afternoon but the weather is making it look like nighttime. If it was his father, Eren won't think twice on slamming the door on his face.

Ever since he woke up alone on the hospital, he became more hotheaded than he usually is, especially when the nurses called his father. The man did came and gave him fruit and ordered him to stay out of trouble then gone. He left Eren all by himself, well it was not new to him. He desperately want to find out who's responsible for the shooting but the doctors want him stress free, they did inform him that it was all taken care by some private party. But what kept him worried is the thoughts of Levi.

What happened to him? Did he got hurt? Did he break anything? Is he alright? Oh, Eren prayed that he's alright but... Is Levi traumatized? Did the Omega hate him? Oh, god. That thought is his worst nightmare.

Eren brighten up when Levi called him just after the Alpha sent him text about his recovery. He deeply apologize to what happened to their date. Eren is willing to go on his knees and beg the Omega for forgiveness but the call he got made his nightmares true. He shamelessly cried while he tried to contact the Omega, with too much stress his wound starts bleeding causing his doctor and nurses to panic.

Three days later, Eren finally came home, of course his father didn't pick him up. He didn't stop reaching the Omega, he is not planning on giving up so easily. He needs to talk to Levi and not to his useless father who he assumed that was currently knocked on his door.

He stomp towards his front door and yank it open. "What do you want?!"

The person on the porch flitched, beads of water fell from the tips of his damp raven hair. Eyes wide and watery from unshed tears, he shivers under his cold soaked clothes, shoes squeaks as he slowly back away from the door. He hold himself, looking down on the floor as he press his trembling lips on a thin line. He shivered in place.

Eren watched him in wide eyes, Levi standing right in front of him, trembling at the cold that covers him. He looks well than what Eren had expected. No neck brace, on sling on his arms or even a bandage on his legs. He can finally breath, Levi didn't broke anything from the fall but that doesn't ease him so easily. He didn't care what ever reason the Omega came to him all he thinks about is the Omega out of the rain and keep him warm. "Levi! I'm sorry, I thought you were my dad."

The raven stared at him before tears came falling freely from his eyes. "S-Sorry for b-bothering you. I'll... I'll just-" He sobbed and slowly backs away.

"-No, no, no. It's okay!" When the Omega didn't move away, Eren slowly approached him. "Levi? Are you okay?"

Levi looked up to him, tears flowing freely from his, he bite down the bottom of his, stopping the sobs that will likely escape but it was too late he broke out in front of Eren.

"Hey, are you hurt or-" Eren shut his mouth when Levi took both of his hands and press kisses on both knuckles.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." The Omega whispered between sobs.

Levi fucked up everything, he can't risked to also fuck up on apologizing to Eren.

So he did it, he knelt in front of the Alpha like lowly Omega. It was humiliating on everyone's eyes but the raven knew well that he deserved such treatment.

How humiliating, a cold-heart Ackerman like him is begging for forgiveness that Levi himself is unsure of. Is he asking for forgiveness for lying? For the incident in the fairest wheel? For killing Titan? For leaching happiness that was never meant for him? For tarnishing Eren's happy life? Levi is not sure, no, he doesn't know anymore or maybe he's asking for forgiveness for everything. Everything, from the first time they meet until now.

"Levi, please stand up. You don't need to do this," he heard Eren cooed at him, arms came to aid him, more like encouraging him to stand. But Levi remained glued on his knees.

Why can't Eren just hit him just like his uncle?! Levi is used to physical pain but emotional pain in a very high intensity? No. And now he is suffering the pain the he inflect on himself. Jealousy hurts when he eyed other Omegas but guilt and self pity is breaking him to the bones.

Arms stopped encouraging him to stand, Levi covered his face and chanted the word "I'm sorry" like a prayer. Eren must be disgusted at him, Levi expected that the Alpha will shoo him away or simply slammed the door at him. Instead, Levi felt arms around him hoisting his up from the floor. He squeaks at the sudden action but he quickly cling into the Alpha's body, closing his eyes, enjoyed the feeling of the other's warmth.

He heard Eren croons at him, saying "It's okay" over, and over again. Thats when he realized the he kept on chanting the word "I'm sorry". Levi shut himself up when Eren carried him in and to the Alpha's bedroom. His sobs and sniffs were always reply by croons from his Alpha, simply telling the raven that his Alpha is listening to his pleas.

The Alpha help him out with his soaked clothes and let him wear the other's pajamas, since Levi is a crying mess and can't do anything with his trembling form, Eren did everything. Thought it was very impressive that Eren had such control while undressing him, they are both males but the difference of their dynamic can make the scene inapproiate to the eyes of society.

Levi shivering stopped when he was placed in the bed with warm blankets wrapped around him. His sobbing stop when he felt Eren joined him in the bed and holding him tight. Levi is not sure why Eren can still do this to a person like him. He doesn't deserve such kindness.

"Levi."

Levi snapped his eyes open at the call. He was laying on his back as well as Eren near, the Alpha look at him with a reassuring smile on his face.

"Are okay with this or should I leave?"

Levi snuggle closer to him as a reply. "Don't leave, please, I'm begging you."

"Okay, I won't," he planted a kiss on the raven's head then added. "Whatever it is that's troubling you, you need to rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if you want."

"Hmmm..." Levi snuggled closer. He doesn't know if he was ready, how can he face Eren now after his humiliating display? Will Eren think lowly of him? Probably. He can't blame the Alpha if he did. Thoughts came running on his mind like an avolance, making him sob again.

He felt gently fingers brush on his hair. "Don't think, sleep. Everything will be okay. I promise." Eren croons on his ear.

And that's all he needed to hear before he let sleep to finally take care of him.
