Levi had Mikasa go get Eren early the next morning, before her first class, so that they could pack everything up. From what Levi had gathered, Eren had one class that day, and it was mid day, which meant that by the time he had Mina moved out, and had the room completely cleaned, Eren would be able to move in when he was done. Levi had also called up Nile, told the fucker exactly what he thought of him, and then made sure he wasn't going to dick it up. Levi's gotten many of his current tenants and workers from people who couldn't keep up with Nile's rent.
So Levi was helping Mina move her things to the car. She didn't have much, and with the help of a few of the other workers, had moved out fairly quickly. Levi talked to her about what to expect from him as a landlord than whatever the hell he had previously been. It was her job to make sure she had enough food and money to do what she needed too. Since she already had a job, Levi was just giving her a place to live, and then she was on her own. Mina seemed to understand, and once they made it to his building, they moved her into her new apartment. Mina looked so happy to have her own place. Levi gave her her key and any medications she had when she came to him or gotten while she was with him. Levi explained a few things she may not be used to since he's been caring for her, and with a hug, that Levi was used to having forced onto him when moving one of his boys/girls out, he left Mina to get settled, telling her that she had a six month window where he would check on her until he was completely sure she didn't need him holding her hand anymore.
"I swear to god if you end up back at the whore house I will flip my shit." Levi said. Mina giggled lightly, crying slightly.
"Don't worry, I won't. Thank you." And Levi left.
Most of his whores never set foot back into his whore house unless they wanted to donate to the place to help with bills for the employees there. They were grateful shits, but sometimes, one of them couldn't take the pressure, or something happened out of Levi's control, and they ended up coming back. No one came back more than twice, because after the first time, Levi had Petra, one of his actual staff members that helped run the front, work with them to help get them used to whatever had set them back. It really was a good system, and Levi would have Petra doing stuff like that from the beginning, but it would burn the poor woman out and she already had kids of her own to deal with.
And as Levi walked into the whore house, said woman was working the front and smiling.
"Welcome back Levi, Mina all settled?" She asked as she leaned forward, placing her chin in her hands. "Such a dear. She's going to start taking on her college tuition, correct?"
"She said she was, didn't want me to spend anymore on her, and she's hell bent to pay me back every cent I've spent on her." Levi rolled his eyes. "These fuckers just need to learn to accept someone being fucking nice to them sometimes and let it the fuck go." Petra giggled.
"You know they never will. You've helped a lot of them out." She smiled softly. "You're a good man."
"Remind me to change that opinion one day."
"The only way you could do that is if you took one of your workers on the counter while I watched." Levi hummed.
"What if I told you that someone sucked me off where you stand?" Levi asked. Petra shook her head and laughed.
"There is no way-"
"It's true." Pixis said from where he sat on one of the couches. He was a regular, probably like at his favorite bar. "Young man ran in, trying to hide from some nasty brutes and Levi told the boy to hide under the counter, boy started giving him head while Levi was talking to the man, Levi played it off like he was teaching a new whore. Came down the poor boy's throat before his sister came from upstairs. I think he was Mikasa's younger brother, yes?" Levi nodded as Petra stared, mouth slightly ajar.
"Holy cow Levi!" Levi then shrugged.
"Well it's not like it's all in vain. He's moving in today, and should to be to work within the month." Levi said as he headed to the door. "I need to clean up the room he'll be taking if he passes his test." Levi called back to Petra, who opened the door for him.
Levi cleaned what would probably be Eren's new room for four hours. Levi was actually debating just having Eren work oral and having the boy under the counter when he worked, or his desk in his room because those bills were fucking nuts sometimes. Levi then shook that thought away. He must of inhaled too much of the cleaning fumes. But the room was clean, looked brand new, if Levi wanted to be honest, and he should make sure the training room would be ready for the next day, he just got a new one a few weeks ago, and everything's come back clean and they'll need to be tested tomorrow.
But by this time, Eren should be done with has classes for the day and be ready to move in any time no-
"Levi you midget! You lied to me!" Hange's voice came over the intercom, making the employees look at each other, a few snickering, while Levi sighed. Levi picked up the hallway phone, each boarding floor having one that connected directly to the one at the front desk, in case something was needed, like Levi, or to inform when someone was unable to work for whatever reason.
"Listen you four eyed mother fucker, I told you not to use the fucking com system to insult me, so I suggest you stop and call my cell like a regular member of society." Levi hissed.
"... Levi... I work at the front desk of a whore house, which I will remind you, you own. We are not what people would call 'regular' or 'normal'. But that's not the point! You told me yesterday that the green eyed cutie yesterday wasn't a newbie!" Hange quickly whined. Levi sighed before calling her on his cell phone.
"Because at the time, he wasn't, and I didn't expect him to be. Things change. Hell, he might not have what it takes to be a whore." Levi said as he headed down to the lobby. "Is it safe to assume he's here?"
"Yeah, he's thanking Pixis right now." Levi froze for a second. He'd been thanked with a...
"Is he fucking blowing him in the middle of the lobby?" Levi asked. Hange cackled on the other side.
"No, but I bet Pixis wish he was." Levi sighed shaking his head. "Why? Are you the only one he can give head to?" Hange teased. Levi heard sputtering on the other side of the line. Levi groaned.
"You have me on fucking speaker again, don't you?"
"Yup!" Hange sang merrily.
"I fucking hate you. Why haven't I fired you yet?"
"Because I have connections with the hospital that keeps your workers STD and baby free. As well as the rehab groups for your less fortunate ones." Hange stated. "Oooooo I love this episode! I think it's the one where the chick has, like, seven different personalities and they end up arresting the sister in the end." Hange squealed happily.
"I hadn't seen this one yet!" Levi heard one of the clients yell back. Hange giggled out a half assed apology. Levi shook his head as he made it to the front, hanging up his phone as he opened the iron door, seeing Eren standing next to Pixis, watching the iron door while Hange continued spoiling the episode to the men who were watching.
"Hello Eren." Levi said as he walked over. "You ready to move in?" Eren turned to him and nodded. "Good. I wouldn't unpack until we were sure you were staying, but at least you can get your shit out, and anything else that's Mikasa's. Let's go." Levi said, pulling his keys out and leaving, Eren hurrying to keep up.
Mikasa returned once they had finished bringing everything in, putting Eren's stuff in his room, waiting to unpack it, and putting what was left for Mikasa in her room. Levi left Mikasa to do her thing and told Eren that they would be bringing Eren to the hospital in the morning.
The trip to the hospital was interesting to say the least. One of nurse's recognized him.
"Eren!" The boy said happily, hurrying over and hugging him. "What are you doing here?" He asked happily. The boy was short, not as short as Levi, with blond hair and blue eyes. A lot of men would go for his feminine look, but he wasn't Levi's whore, so Levi didn't care. "Oh, Levi what are you doing here?" Eren then cleared his throat.
"Because he might be my new employer, Armin..." Eren said, blushing lightly. Armin looked between the two before nodding slowly, and then smiling.
"Well, at least I know you'll be taken care of. I happen to be your nurse today, and was actually on my way to get you, so just follow me!" And they turned and started talking, Levi following them closely, like he always did. It was almost mechanic for Levi to follow, to be there every step form the beginning. But he was slightly settled knowing that they knew each other. Levi knew Armin as well, as he had interacted with him countless times when talking about his workers medical conditions.
"Well, I can promise you that Eren's clean, he just got checked recently. Unless you let one of your sleazy loan sharks touch you." Armin said, ending with a firm tone and slightly narrowed eyes. Eren shook his head quickly. Armin checked Eren's ears, like not with the instrument, but looking at the tips closely.
"What are you doing?" Levi asked. Armin pulled back with a satisfied nod.
"Eren's ears turn red when he lies." Armin said as he continued his usual thing. "So Eren is clean of everything you would need tested, and everything else seems to be up to your standards, aside from a few bruises here and there, but those should be fully healed soon because Eren's a mutant and heals relatively quickly." Armin informed, giving Levi any information he may need on Eren if he was going to be his new employer and going to be in an intimate situation soon. Tests were still obviously taken and Levi wouldn't have the results for a few more weeks.
Once done, they returned to the whore house, Levi sending Eren up to his room to get to know some of the others as he stood behind the desk with Petra.
"He's cute." Petra said, Levi giving a nod.
"He'll be popular since he looks pretty damn illegal." Levi said, leaning against the counter and looking through at the giant desk event calendar. There were actually a few considering how long the desk was. It looked complicated, but it was simple for Levi, Petra, and Hange to understand. Easy to find who was available and who wasn't. Who had major dates coming up. Levi actually had a few in his room, but those ones where a little more personal, birthdays, tests, appointments, and things of that nature.
"Gives you good head apparently." Petra said, smirking slightly as Levi rolled his eyes.
"I'm sure he'll be able to suck anyone's soul out through their cock with more practice." Levi said. Petra hummed lightly at this. Watching him carefully. Levi hated that look. Petra picked up on things no one else can. She's like a fucking psychic or something, Levi swears. She continued looking at him, then turned away with a giggle.
"What the fuck. Petra, what are you giggling about?" Petra shrugged.
"Nothing!" She sang. Levi grumbled.
Within Eren's almost month being with them before the results of his test came in, he had gotten along with a lot of the others workers, and he spent a lot of time with Levi, getting payment ready for if Eren passed his test and Levi giving him important information, like how now Eren could save his money for the loan sharks and pay them off one at a time, because it wasn't Levi's first time dealing with the soulless mother fuckers. He didn't personally deal with them, but he made sure his whores focused on getting those scum off their back first and foremost before getting any luxuries.
"Okay, how many of these pricks do you have after you?" Levi asked Eren while they were sitting in his room at his desk, looking over all of the documents Levi had made for if Eren joined his entertainment staff. Eren sighed as he was leaning on said desk.
"Ten, maybe eleven." Eren said. Levi looked at him with a quirked eyebrow. "Dad borrowed a lot of money from a lot of people to help pay for mom's medical bills. I think I've got one paid off since I started working to help pay for mom's bills anyways. Mikasa helped pay off another, but since we both got into college, it's been harder to keep up with their demands." Levi sighed as he pulled a spreadsheet up on his laptop.
"Do you remember their names and how much you owe them?" Levi asked. Eren rattled them off, and Levi was just staring at the numbers. "Dear fuck. Well, I'd use the allowance I've given you for cleaning the entertainment rooms now to hurry up and pay this fucker off." Levi said, pointing to a name. "It'll knock that down quite a bit, but you'll do better once you start actually working here." Levi continued. Sighing heavily. "I haven't seen numbers this big since my last crack whore. Drug dealers can be nasty fucks to pay off."
"So, what else?" Eren asked as Levi looked at everything else.
"Well, since you're letting me take everything on for now, that's it. Pay the fuckers off, have Mikasa help, with her help you should actually be able to get that fucker completely paid off. If you run into any trouble, come talk to me. And if you run into one of them and they start harassing you between here, work, and the cafe, send them to me. If they try to touch you, call me." Everyone of Levi's workers had a cellphone. No smart phone shit, but one that did basic texting and calling. If they wanted something fancier, they could buy it themself. Eren, thankfully, already had one like Levi gave out as standard, and Levi had no problems taking up that bill to pay, with Mikasa's help because she was very independant for one of his workers.
"Thank you." Erem said with a smile. Levi cocked an eyebrow.
"You gonna blow me?" Levi asked, causing Eren to blush.
"Why would you-"
"You have given me a total of seven blow jobs since I met you, all but one as means as thanks." Levi pointed out. Eren shook his head.
"No, Mikasa's been bitching me out about it and some of the other's are saying I'm trying to get on your good side." Levi stopped saving and printing the spreadsheet he made of Eren's loan sharks. He then sighed.
"Don't fucking listen to them. Half of them wish they could see my cock so often. But you should probably leave the cock sucking for your clients." Eren nodded before Levi dismissed him and put Eren's papers in a file on both his computer and file cabinet.
Later that night, not even an hour after the last customer of the night left, because contrary to popular belief, the whore house does have at least two hours for all of Levi's workers to rest at the same time, the front desk phone rang, meaning something was happening on the boarding floors.
"What's going on?" Levi asked, already on the other side of the desk with his hand hovering over the button that would unlock the iron door.
"It's that new kid, Mikasa's brother. He's, uh, I don't know, but Mikasa's in his room right now. There's a lot of screaming, but not from Mikasa. Almost everyone is crowding around the door to see what's up, but... we kind of need you. Like, now."
"I'll be there in a sec." Levi said, putting the phone on the receiver and pushing the button at the same time, hurrying up to the floor Eren was on. He heard the screaming long before he got to Eren's floor. When Levi opened the door from the stairwell, he saw a large crowd, and when they saw Levi was there, they began to return to their rooms, knowing that Levi had this. The one to had called was still by the phone, and Levi nodded his thanks to him, allowing the boy to return to his room as well as Levi walked into Eren's room, seeing Eren on his bed, obviously in a cold sweat, twisting and turning as gut wrenching screams left his lips and Mikasa sat next to him, trying to talk to him and wake him up. She turned to Levi, obviously distressed.
"Levi." She said. The man walked over to Eren.
"Was he on some drugs I didn't know about?" Levi asked. Mikasa shook her head.
"No, never. He's having a nightmare. He's been having them since mom died and the loan sharks started coming around." Levi nodded.
"How do you usually wake him?" Levi asked as Eren almost fell off the bed, but Mikasa and Levi quickly averted the fall.
"U-Usually just a shake of the shoulder, but I haven't been able to get close to him." She said. Levi nodded.
"Got it." Levi said, reaching out for Eren's shoulder, taking Eren's arm to the jaw as he continued to thrash. Levi got a firm grip on Eren and shook the boy gently. "Eren, wake up." He said. Green eyes snapped open as Eren panted heavily, eyes dilated and darting around before he seemed to calm down, putting a hand over his eyes as he began to cry. Mikasa sighed in relief to see her brother awake. She stood then and looked to Levi.
"I think... you should talk to him." She said. "Nothing he tells me is anything new to me." Mikasa explained, and Levi nodded as he turned back to Eren.
"You alright to talk brat?" Levi asked, and when Eren nodded, the two headed to Levi's room. Doors were opened slightly, but shut when they saw them passing. Screaming in the middle of the night is nothing new. Screaming from nightmares or night terrors is nothing new. Screaming from withdrawal was nothing new. Panic and Anxiety attacks were nothing new. No one would shun another for waking them in the night because they were scared, or needed someone with them for one reason or another. Because everyone's been there, everyone in this building had needed a shoulder, a friend. Someone to check on them. Which is why everyone had a buddy. One other person with the key to their room incase something happened. The buddy system was concrete, and everyone was there for their buddy, even outside of the whore house. Just so happened that Mina was Mikasa's old buddy, and Eren would be her new buddy.
"So, talk to me." Levi said once him and Eren returned to his room. Eren sat on his bed and pulled Mr. Bun to him. "Take your time, I have all night." Levi said as he sat next to Eren, feeling that the younger man would feel better with him on the bed with him.
"The nightmares..." Eren began, wiping his eyes and using the tissues Levi had offered him. "Are always about the day my mom died." Eren said, trying to take deep calming breaths. "W-We were all sitting at the table for dinner, and then this man just, walked in. Pointed a gun at my mom and pulled the trigger. The bullet went through and through, almost hit me." Eren said, pointing to a small mark on his face. "Her head hit the table so hard some of her..." Eren took a shuttering breath and Levi nodded.
"You don't have to tell all the details, I understand." Levi said. Eren nodded before continuing.
"The man... looked at dad and said... 'Now you have no reason not to pay off the money you owe me.' and then walked out, closing the door behind him. Dad packed up and left that night. Mikasa and I have been trying to pay them back since. When we were old enough, we moved out and got our own apartment. After the first month, Mikasa said she was going to come work here. The rent was supposed to go down when she moved out, but it didn't. Nile said that as far as he was concerned, she was still one of his tenants, so I had to pay for two people." Levi scowled as he mentally put 'hire one of Kenny's old contacts that Levi was still good friends with to go talk to Nile' on his schedule the next day.
"My mom never got justice, we had gone to the police, but Erwin's hands were tied. The loan shark that killed my mother, was the one chasing me that day I came in here asking for Mikasa." Eren said, hugging the stuffed animal closer to his chest as he cried. Levi almost literally bristled.
"That bastard dared step into my whore house." Levi said, voice low and cold, Eren literally shivered when he heard it. "How close are you to paying him off?" Levi asked. Eren swallowed thickly.
"We owe him the most." Eren said, beginning to hiccup a little. Levi pulled Eren to him, tucking the taller male's head under his chin.
"If I ever see his ugly mug again, I'll kill him." Levi said bitterly. Eren looked up at Levi with wide eyes. "You think I'm kidding." Levi said. "I used to be in a spot just like my most desperate workers. I got this business from my uncle. I still have some of his old contacts as my own. And they hate sharks as much as I do." Levi said firmly. "Wouldn't be the first time I killed to protect one of my employees." Levi gently pet Eren's hair, feeling Eren shake his head.
"I want him to go to jail." Eren said cooly. "He thinks he's tough shit, but I'm sure that once the guys in jail found out he slept with a sixteen year old trying to pay off the debt his father accumulated from trying to pay his wife's medical bills from cancer, they'll shank him to death." Eren said. He felt Levi completely stiffen.
"Sixteen?" Levi asked. "Tell me your first time wasn't with a fucking shark?" Levi asked.
"No, I lost it to a guy in my class at a party when we were all drunk when I was thirteen. We had tried dating after that, but it didn't work. Our personalities clashed." Eren said. Levi nodded slowly, going back to petting Eren's hair.
"You feeling better now?" Levi asked. He felt Eren nod against his chest. "Do you think you can sleep in your own room, or do you need to stay here?" Levi asked. It was a constant thing Levi offered his employees. His bed was redressed daily anyways, and having them comfortable and feeling safe was Levi's number one concern after a night like Eren just had. Sometimes Levi would have three or four people sharing his king sized bed with one or two on his sleeper sofa and a couple on the floor. The man didn't care, because they had all had a rough night, and all needed somewhere safe to be, so Levi's room it was.
"C-Can I stay here?" Eren asked. Levi nodded as he texted Mikasa, telling her Eren had calmed down and was staying in his room for the night. Eren decided to take a shower before crawling into Levi's bed, watching the man sit at his desk and work. "Are you not going to sleep?" Eren asked. Levi looked over his shoulder.
"Insomnia." Levi said in reply. "I've got a few numbers to crunch, and then laundry to do. I also don't sleep in my bed when one of my workers are." Eren began to sit up, when Levi went and pushed him back down. "Relax you little shit. Tonight is one of my no sleep nights. I knew it was going to be earlier today. Just go to sleep. I'll make sure you're up for breakfast." Eren nodded slowly before laying back down and going to sleep.
I lied again. Sorry. Next chapter, I PROMISE! I swear on all my stories and my love for my OTP (Which, low and behold, is Ereri/Riren) that full on butt smex will be happening next chapter! Not quite sure what else, but there will be some Jaeger booty humping!
