Chapter Five - The Long Haul
Levi was taking Eren and the women and children he'd purchased away, to his homeland, because he was a man of honor and integrity—unlike any other men Eren had ever met. Never in his life had he felt how he felt about Levi with anyone else. It was miraculous, but Eren was actually happy. He was still himself and bound and determined to do whatever he wanted, when he wanted. Currently that was him sitting in Levi's lap as they traveled the road. They'd been in the carriage forever it seemed, but Eren was excited. He'd never left the land he was raised in, but he couldn't wait to see Levi's land.
They were blessed with the privacy of their own personal carriage, all the guards and Hanji and Erwin too riding along with the others, or on their own horses. That gave Eren opportunity to do whatever he wanted. So he sat on Levi and greedily roamed his hands all over him. He was resting against him as well, feeling a little sleepy, but his hand didn't stop. Eren was so excited that he didn't want to sleep, afraid he might miss something. So he kept himself distracted by kissing Levi's neck with soft, tender kisses. Ever since they made love, Eren wanted more. He wanted so much more. But he had yet to receive it. That would no longer be the case whenever they arrived at Levi's home.
Levi was doing his best not to give into his lover's teasing, but like everything with Eren, it wasn't easy. They had made good time and would be stopping for a break soon to give a much needed change to stretch their legs. Levi was sure that if and when he switched over to his horse Eren would either demand he stay in the carriage with him, or demand to ride the horse right alongside him. It was an argument sure to happen, but strangely enough made him want to smile. Seeing Eren's birthland like this also made Levi want to hear more about the brunette and learn everything he could. It might bring up painful memories for him which was why he had waited so long to approach the topic, but now he took the chance. It would also serve as a distraction from his current activities.
"Eren." He said as he rubbed his hand up and down the boy's back. "This land of yours and your family, would you tell me about them?"
Eren forced his lips away from Levi's neck that he'd been sucking on and sat back to stare into his eyes. "There's nothing left."
Levi read between the lines, his family had been killed. "Except your memories." He offered, but he knew it was little comfort. "I don't mean to keep dragging you down painful roads, but I want to know you better. Learn how Eren Jaeger became Eren Jaeger."
"I see…" Eren hummed thoughtfully. "Well, I was an only child, but my parents were good people. My dad was a doctor and my mom was a great mom. I look like her. Things were good for me. I mean, we had a simple life but it was a good one. Until the attack. I haven't confirmed my dad's death because he disappeared when everything was happening… but my mom… I saw everything. It was so bad Levi… they did so many unthinkable things to her before they finally put her out of her misery and they made me watch while they tortured me too."
It was hard to swallow, knowing that Eren's life had been so mortifying. It was different hearing it first hand than it was suspecting it. Levi had a general idea of how things had played out, he was no stranger to war, but this struck him on a more personal level. It wasn't easy asking Eren these hard questions, smart enough to know what they would do to him, but Levi preferred to face the truth head on. He didn't let sleeping lions lie until the day they grew strong enough to consume you.
"What goes around comes around." Levi said once his thoughts had settled. "If not by nature then by man's own hand." His people would be avenged, especially his mother. Levi would see to it personally.
"I wasn't strong enough to protect her… I can't even protect myself." Eren whispered, laying his head on Levi's head in shame.
Levi held him closer and never stopped rubbing his back. "You were as strong as you could be . . . and you'll become stronger. I was going to wait until we stopped, but I'll go ahead and tell you now."
"What is it?" Eren asked, curiously lifting his head again.
"You, darling, are going to be instructed by yours truly in the art of the sword."
"S-sword? You mean… you really know how to use that thing?" Eren gawked. "I thought it was for looks… to scare people… and I couldn't… no way…"
Looks? It was beyond insulting. "What kind of fucked up image did you have of me?" Levi asked, but went on. "Yes, you're going to learn. And you'll easily be better than most of my men." He said confidently. "Perhaps even . . . shit, what I wouldn't give to see you knock Erwin on his ass."
Eren blinked at Levi in surprise but after a moment laughed so hard tears came to his eyes. "Levi…" Eren breathed, trying to cease his laughter. "No way. I don't… I don't think I'd like it. And… I don't want to hurt anyone."
"It can be used completely in self defense, Armin prefers that way as well." Levi told him. He wanted Eren to have some form of defense, but he knew he couldn't really force him when it came to something like this. Without putting your heart into it, you would never learn. "Although . . . if you're completely against it then I'll respect your wishes."
"Well…" Eren sighed and returned his lips to Levi's neck. "I think… if you think it's a good idea, I'll do it." He murmured and then drew a lazy circle on Levi's neck with his tongue.
Levi grunted, giving up that particular battle for now. "We'll try it out and see if you like it or not."
"I like you." That was all Eren was certain of, so he whispered those words before opening his lips to get a good suckle.
"You're such a fucking handful." The black haired man stated and tilted his head back.
"Mm." Eren hummed at the open invitation and repositioned himself to straddle Levi, his kisses and sucks becoming less restrained by the instant. "I want you." Eren breathed before gliding his tongue up that sexy throat.
"The feeling is mutual." Levi said and grabbed a handful of his own, squeezing Eren's backside. "But we're stopping soon."
Eren rolled his eyes and rolled his hips. "I don't give a damn."
Levi chuckled, not surprised. "You usually don't. However, the answer is still no."
"Excuse me, bastard!" Eren huffed and started slamming his fist against Levi's hard chest. "You don't tell me no. I do what I want."
"So it's the spoiled brat today." Levi mused and released his bottom in favor of giving it a light smack. "Behave."
"God, I despise you." Eren glared at him and raised his hands to pick at the buttons on Levi's shirt. "Such a jerk… so hot…"
Said jerk simply nodded in complete agreement. The carriage came to a stop a minute later, the others behind it following suit. Levi exited the carriage along with Eren and took in the wooded surroundings. Erwin was at his side a moment later, Hanji going down the line to check on everyone as they got out as well. So far they hadn't been followed and were taking the back roads for extra precautions. It was a double edged sword, but the main roads had too many powerful figures traveling along back to their countries. Levi gave a couple orders to Erwin before the blonde addressed the rest of Levi's men and everyone went further into the woods to get comfortable, but not too far.
Eren purposely wandered into the woods away from everyone else, knowing Levi would follow him. It was only when he was a safe distance away that he stopped and turned around to face the infuriating man he was so crazy about. He looked at Levi with puffed out cheeks and crossed arms, waiting for him to beg for forgiveness. Levi rested his hands on his hips and refrained from smiling. His lover was really fucking cute sometimes.
"You're angry." The older man stated.
"No shit you damn pig." Eren scoffed, pouting.
"You're frustrated." He added, not phased by Eren's insult.
"A lot." Eren nodded, averting his eyes.
"And you want me to do something about it." Levi finished with a small smirk.
A shiver ran down Eren's spine and he held his breath for a moment. That was exactly what he wanted. "I do." He muttered, annoyed.
Levi lolled his head to the side and leaned back against a tree. "Then come here, darling, and I'll take care of you."
Eren's heart sped up and he didn't waste a second walking over to the man he wanted so bad. He was so sexy posted up against that tree, Eren just couldn't take it. He stopped a foot away, perfectly within reach, teal eyes admiring the marks on Levi's neck. He put those there…
Levi let him have a good look, taking one of his own before he made his move. He had Eren spun around and pulled flush against him in one quick movement, one hand holding his wrist while the other splayed itself over the boy's stomach.
Breath shuddering, Eren let his head fall back to Levi's shoulder while he kept perfectly still. "Don't… don't tease me."
"I'll think about it." Levi responded and lowered his hand to cup Erens crotch.
Eren grunted and flexed his hips forward, the feel of Levi's hand too good not to want more. "Y-you won't… promise you won't."
"I promise you'll be coming before our break is over." The raven murmured, mouth brushing against Eren's neck. "I'm going to return your carriage stunt ten fold."
"Mm… ye—no." Eren panted. "Make me come."
Levi untucked Eren's shirt and unbuttoned his pants, letting his hand run down smooth skin until it reached his prize. "Try to stay standing, if you can." He said and let go of his wrist to instead snake under his shirt, finger barely touching his nipple.
As soon as the words left Levi's lips, Eren's knees buckled and he squeaked, resting his weight back against Levi who seemed bound and determined to torture him in the best possible way.
"Levi… Levi…" Eren called, eyes threatening to roll back as Levi touched both his cock and his nipple.
It was easy for him to support Eren's weight, putting his plan into action as he pulled out Eren's member. He started moving his hand in painfully slow strokes and caressed his nipples between his fingers. He was able to work Eren up quickly, but that went both ways. Levi breathed in his ear and he flexed his hips forwards and pressed his erection against his ass.
"Do you feel that? It's all because of you, Eren." Levi rasped. "This is what you do to me."
"Ah… f-fuck…" Eren moaned, his body trembling. Levi could get him like this so easily. "I want."
Hearing that lovely voice turn desperate really turned Levi on. "You want it? Remember how it feels inside of you?" He asked and slipped his clothed cock between Eren's cheeks, speeding up his hand on his cock.
"Yes." Eren ground out, torn between backing his ass up or thrusting forward. "Levi, please. Fuck."
He pinched his nipple, making him gasp, and rolled the perked nub with his pointer finger. "I remember what it feels like taking you, every second. You were so perfect around me, Eren. So good." He said and thrust his hips again.
"Damn it, Levi." Eren groaned, stomach tightening. "Fuck me. Now."
"No." He shot down. "I'm going to make you come from my hands and words alone." And his dick, but not in the way Eren wanted. "Tell me, are you close already? Do you want to come?" He asked, massaging the tip of his cock.
Eren couldn't contain his voice and didn't have a chance of regulating his breathing. Levi was driving him mad. "S-stop." He pleaded, his cock already throbbing. It all felt so good but it was amazing what those words were doing to him.
"I can't wait to take you home, to claim you in my bed." Levi continued without mercy. "But you'd claim me in return. Make me feel complete ecstasy." He said as he kept fondling his chest, his hand stroking Eren's dick faster still. "I'll paint my sheets with your come, darling, won't stop until you're satisfied."
"Levi," Eren cried out, biting his lips to try and keep quiet as his body convulsed. His mouth fell apart a second later. "God… I'm… I'm coming." He got out, chest heaving and legs turning weak.
Levi's hand left Eren's chest to come to his waist, pressing him back hard so he could feel every inch of his cock. His other hand faithfully milked his lover and he gave a wet kiss behind Eren's ear. "I'm so fucking lucky to have you."
Eren wanted to be angry. He should have had that thick cock buried inside him. But he could only be blown away by the intense climax he reached. He came so hard it stole his breath and left him weak all over. His eyes closed and he would have certainly crumbled on the ground had it not been for the strong arms that held him up. Eren was shaking all over and breathing harshly through endless moans. It was too good.
Levi watched as his lover slowly lost consciousness and passed out against him. He wiped his hand and cleaned Eren up with a handkerchief before righting the brunette's clothes. Then he swept him up in his arms to carry him back to the carriage, the other's already making their way back into their own. Levi rested Eren in his lap and held him close, a soft and fond look on his features. He was more important to him than anything else. He would keep his promise and protect him with everything he had, and he would do his damndest to make him happy.
When Eren woke up he was inside a tent and Levi was sleeping soundly next to him. They must have stopped and set up camp and Levi had probably had to go through a lot to carry Eren around. It wasn't like he was light but Levi acted like he was. That man really did take care of him and Eren was so smug about it.
The younger man was about to get handsy just because he could but then he heard something outside the tent. Somebody walking. Probably a guard. He was certain at least a few of them would be keeping watch, but he still wasn't sure and he was a little creeped out. Eren was wondering if he should investigate when Levi suddenly sat up next to him and grabbed his sword. Eren paled and latched on to Levi's sleeve.
"W-w-what you gonna do with that?" He whispered fearfully.
"Whatever needs to be done." Levi answered, part of him wishing he had started Eren's training like he planned rather than getting frisky. "The footsteps sound all wrong . . . those aren't my guards." He said quietly and moved to glance through the small crack in the tent's opening, Eren still holding tight to his sleeve. "Stay close to me."
"Alright." Eren whispered shakily, ready to do whatever he needed to be by Levi's side.
Levi spotted Hanji peeking out of her tent as well, but he couldn't see Erwin's from where he was positioned. Hanji signaled him with her hand, telling Levi how many intruders she could see. So far there were five. One of his guards walked passed Hanji's tent, completely obvious, and Levi rolled his eyes.
"Seriously, what the hell do I pay them for?" He grumbled under his breath. Those idiots could use some more training themselves. If Riener and Bertholdt had been on watch, this wouldn't have happened. Levi gave Hanji a signal of his own and she nodded. They would wait until the attackers made their move first. "It doesn't seem like a large group." He whispered to Eren. "Most likely some wandering thieves. Nothing to worry about."
"You're strong. I'm not worried." Eren mumbled quietly.
The tight hold he had said otherwise, but Levi gave him a small smile and kissed his cheek. "No one will ever lay a hand on you, darling."
"Now is not the time to turn me on." Eren glowered.
Levi smirked, but left it at that. It wasn't long before Hanji signaled that they were making their move. Levi repositioned his arm around Eren's waist and drew his sword with his other hand. A few seconds later and the attackers charged, yelling and waving their weapons. Up until that moment Levi had thought they possessed some form of intelligence, but now that notion was dropped. Who abandoned a surprise attack when they were outnumbered? He was surrounded by idiots. Levi and Hanji both came out of their tents at once, Erwin making an appearance as well. There were in fact ten intruders and looked like the thieves Levi had suspected they were.
"Surrender your valuables and your women!" One of them demanded and Hanji busted out laughing.
"Oh, these guys are a riot!" She breathed, holding her stomach. "S-surrender your . . . they sound like pirates!"
"Leave now and no one has to die." Erwin's voice boomed, cutting off the thief who was about to respond to Hanji's spectacle.
"That's our line! Give up now!" Another shouted and Levi sighed heavily.
He rubbed Eren's back and changed tactics. "Stay here while I handle this. It's not nearly as dangerous as I thought it was going to be."
Eren's brows furrowed because he couldn't help feeling concern for this man that he loved. "Y-you better not get hurt." If he did Eren would never forgive him.
"You have my word, darling." Levi promised and Hanji quickly tuned in.
"Darling?" She parroted in disbelief. "Eren, you've tamed our wild and short leader!"
"Shut the fuck up, foureyes." Levi huffed and proceeded to approach the so called thieves. A joke is what they were, standing around while they just chatted on. Some of the women and children were peeking out at the commotion, the guards quick to stand in front of them. Great, now they used their heads. "No killing." Levi ordered. "I don't want blood spilled in front of the kids."
"Aw, man." Hanji whined and Erwin nodded.
The three of them came around the ten morons since they were the closest and the guards knew better than to get in their way. This would be over quickly. Levi was the first to move and the other two were right behind him. He knocked out four of the thieves with the back of his sword, one right after the other. Erwin did the same to three while Hanji used her hands on the remaining trio, the fight over before it really started. It was actually quite boring. Levi was about to sheath his sword when he sensed another presence and deflected a knife thrown at his head. So there was at least one of them who possessed some battle tactics, but it was nowhere near enough.
"Show yourself." Levi demanded. A figure emerged from the shadows and Levi could tell this one was different, probably the leader.
"Looks like we bit off more than we could chew." The man said, gaze fixed one Levi. "I never expected to find you here, my lord. I guess the rumors were true."
This was a frightening situation, at least at first, but Eren was quickly blown away by the strength of his man and apparently he wasn't the only one since this stranger was going so far as to call him 'my lord'.
"That's exactly right so back off you dirty scoundrel!" Eren roared but quickly hid behind Levi.
The man's eyes put two and two together and his expression changed just a fraction. "Don't even think about it." Levi warned coldly, gaze turning into a threatening glare. Maybe the thief was a little better than Levi thought. He had easily figured out his weakness.
"I wouldn't dream of it." The man said with raised hands, not willing to go toe to toe with the Levi Ackerman himself. Especially when he glared at him like that.
"Good, because you would be on the ground before you could even try it." Levi added for the hell of it. He didn't mess around when it came to his troublemaker, not even a little.
Eren's hands fisted the back of Levi's shirt, this whole scene doing strange things to him. "So hot." He muttered under his breath, unsure what to think.
Levi's eyebrow twitched, but other than that he remained impassive. "We'll tie you and the rest of your men up for the night. Try anything, anything at all, and I won't be sparing your lives a second time."
"Got it." The man said, tensing when he realized Hanji was suddenly behind him.
"I'll be keeping an extra eye out." She whispered in the man's ear, knife digging into his back.
"Y-yeah."
"Alright, shows over. Guards, tie up the thieves and be more alert on your watch. Everyone else get some sleep." He said and paused to tell Erwin, "Make sure Hanji doesn't go too psycho."
Eren was still in a state of shock as he held tight to Levi's shirt and followed him back to the tent. They crawled inside and Eren stared at his lover, half in disbelief and half in arousal.
"You… you can't be trusted." Eren muttered to himself as he tried to process this situation.
Levi turned his head at the comment, returning his sword to its place. "You better not be referring to me. I would think I'm the most trustworthy." Just what was Eren going on about?
"I think not." Eren huffed as he crawled over to Levi and mounted him, forcing him to lay back. "It's not normal… making a guy feel these things."
That certainly put things into perspective and Levi shook his head, amused. "I think you're the one that can't be trusted, pouncing on me at a moments notice."
"Well shit. It's because… it's all your fault… why am I like this?" Eren pouted, wiggling his ass against Levi's crotch.
Levi's hands went to his hips. "I couldn't say, but I'll be damned if I don't like it."
"I thought I was gonna come, out there in front of everybody." Eren admitted, he'd been so turned on. It couldn't even be real.
That concerned Levi for a different reason. "Trust me when I say that was nothing. I'd hate to see what would become of you if I had taken the fight seriously." He mused and then added, "On second thought . . ."
"God… Levi… I would have lost it. You make me so hot for you. I want you, always." Eren moaned softly, his hips having found a rhythm that he moved to steadily.
"You'll have me, always." Levi answered and circled his own hips to help Eren along. "I probably would have been pissed if you did lose it out there. No one gets to see you come but me."
Eren shuddered and clutched onto Levi's shirt, the feel of Levi's erection making him even more aroused. "Only you, Levi. I only want you to see me."
"That's right." Levi rumbled and sat up, bringing their bodies closer together. "You've done so well tonight, doing everything I asked. Grab the oil from my bag, darling, and I'll give you everything you deserve."
Eren convulsed, nearly coming on the spot. "Shit." He whimpered, already shaking with need. It was with great difficulty but somehow Eren managed to find the oil and hand it to Levi. "Y-you're gonna do it… you're gonna finally make love to me again?"
"Yes, I'm going to love you, Eren." Levi whispered sweetly as he pulled Eren's pants over his hips, the younger boy hovering over his lap.
"Oh god… Levi I…" Eren wouldn't last long at all. He was too desperate for it, too worked up already. Levi just had that effect on him.
The dark haired man helped Eren out of his nightwear before sitting him on his lap, tugging his shirt off as well. "There you are, beautiful." Levi said as he looked over Eren's naked body. His mouth went to a nipple while he slicked up his fingers, slowly slipping one inside past his entrance.
"N-no… no. I'll come." Eren panted, clinging to Levi's broad shoulders.
He reluctantly pulled his mouth back with a single suck, blue-grey eyes staring up at his lovers face. "Alright, no teasing." He relented, focusing on stretching him. "Tell me how you want it."
"I want it… inside me. Right now." Eren breathed. "Give it to me."
Levi quickly added another finger, trying to prepare Eren before his impatience got the better of him. "Do you want it just like this? Or on your back, darling?"
"Like this. Now. Please I want you." Eren was going to die if he didn't get it.
Seeing no discomfort or pain in his lovers features, he went ahead and added the third finger, working triple time. "Can I have a kiss first?"
"Yufum hnn mm." Eren moaned out a mix of words all at once, not making any sense but he couldn't be bothered to clear it up, too eager to kiss those awaiting lips while Levi stretched him so well. But Eren was so far gone he couldn't keep up to kiss Levi.
"Just a little more." Levi said, taking complete control of the kiss and giving Eren something else to concentrate on. He nibbled his lips and sucked his tongue, swallowing all his sounds until he was in the clear. "Alright, you can take me now."
Eren tried to keep quiet, but the attempt was futile. He couldn't focus on keeping his voice down while he was busy reaching behind him and grabbing Levi's cock to position it at his entrance. He didn't waste a beat, quickly lowering himself on that long, thick cock. Eren's head fell back and his mouth fell open, a silent scream there. He choked on air, his nails scraped his lover's back and even though he was about to lose it, Eren worked his hips until he'd finally taken in all of him.
Levi supported Eren's movement with his arms and focused on breathing while Eren took what he wanted. Seeing Eren so beside himself had the same effect on Levi and he tightly wrapped his arms around the brunette once he was fully inside, his dick being clenched non stop. Levi simply couldn't take it and the second Eren tried to move his hips again, he threaded a hand in brown locks and tugged him down into an endless kiss. He devoured Eren's mouth as he thrusted up into him, his other hand groping his lover's perfect ass. Every time they touched each other Eren seemed to get to Levi more and more. Eren might be at his mercy, but Levi didn't stand a chance in hell.
How Levi kept making him feel better and better just bewildered Eren. He didn't understand. But he loved it. He was struggling to hold it together, to not fall apart instantly. Every movement either of them made though threatened to end him and he just couldn't hold back. His hips had a mind of their own as well, his body determined to make him reach the highest peak of bliss possible.
"I'm… ima… gah." Eren was coming, his ass planted down firmly against Levi, hips grinding as Levi kept kissing him, those strong arms around him helped strengthen things and it was too much, this orgasm proving to be the strongest of any before it.
Levi could feel Eren's orgasm as it traveled through every inch of his body, as he spasmed around his cock and sucked and sucked and sucked until Levi was forced to come as well. He didn't stop his assault on Eren's mouth, couldn't stop for the life of him, and his body shook as he emptied himself inside his lover. If they kept having sex like this then Levi feared for his bedroom. They would never leave it. They were both trembling and completely breathless by the time it was over and neither moved from their positions.
"Eren . . ." Levi spoke against the boy's lips, his voice barely making a sound. "How precious you are to me . . ."
"No you… Levi… I love you." Eren whimpered, clinging as tightly as he could to Levi.
"I love you, darling." Levi didn't hesitate to reply. "So fucking much."
"I just…" Eren's eyes drooped as he laid slumped against this strong, sexy man. "Thank you."
Levi held him like he always would, never letting go. "Thank you."
Eren was so at ease, so comfortable, it was all too easy for him to drift back off to sleep right on top of his lover. He had no way of knowing how things would go for them in the future, but all Eren cared about was the now. Levi. The man that he loved—and he was so ready to get home with him.
