Sorry for this being so late. I got back from attending HOBY UK yesterday, the experience really changed my life! SO MUCH!
Whilst I was there I had very little time to myself, the activities actually finished at 11:30 each night, so we had hardly any time to ourselves. But, with the little time I did get, I managed to make a chapter finishing it off, just now.
Please Enjoy and tell me what you think!
All of your reviews make me smile! So much so, I well up when I read them. You are all outstanding people and I love you so much! :'D
"We're going to take them down."
"W-What, why? W-Why us?" I asked, breathlessly.
"Well, I don't know in which context you mean these. But I guess all." Levi sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before plunging into a breath. "Well, why us? We are the families, other than Hanji, they don't know if we have been told anything or not. So, just to be safe, they come after us too. Another reason they come after the families is to avoid suspicion and the families looking too much into it, alternately, causing this situation. They last thing they want is to be followed up on criminal activities. That answer everything, brat?" He asked.
I gave a feeble nod in reply.
"Okay, who is hungry?" Hanji cut in. "because I'm famished!"
Erwin spoke up next, "Well, I don't think we have much food in at the moment, we can shop tomorrow, but for now should we get pizza?"
Levi pulled a face at the mention of the greasy, probably dirty, fast food. But his stomach thought otherwise and voiced his opinion. I guess they were having pizza.
"So, what does everyone want?" He asked.
I shrugged, as did Levi. Petra, Erwin and Hanji all argued over the pizzas to get. They decided that I was definitely not going out to get pizza, I had to lay low, for the time being. The three bickering adults decided they would go, leaving Levi alone with me. Great, just great.
Once the three had left, they said they would be around two hours, Levi had walked off somewhere and I was sat in the living area, feeling rather sorry for myself.
This whole situation was weird, I knew that much. My mind wandered into some sort of state of oblivion, as a recalled all of the information I was given.
So, Mikasa was killed? That at least, took a little off my burden and guilt. That I was thankful for. But, this whole situation seemed unreal. I mean, I keep thinking I'm going to wake up any minute, covered in sleepy sweat. But, then I realise, it's not a dream and I won't wake up. No this is very much real. And I am very much a part of it.
"-ren."
"Eren!"
I was snapped back into awareness by a soft cloth hitting my face. I pulled it back and looked up. Teal meeting Grey. I found myself looking squarely at the dis-interested glare of Levi. "Hey, shitface. Welcome back to reality."
"You didn't think that when you were kissing my face off in the store closet." I muttered under my breath, recalling the event.
"What was that, brat?" He snapped back, instantly, causing me to jump in my place on the loveseat.
"N-Nothing! I s-swear!"
"Tch…" He turned to exit the room. "Whatever, brat. Come with me." Levi made a beckoning gesture as he walked off into the direction of our bedroom. "We have about two hours, come on be quick."
At that, I choked on my breaths, spluttering on myself.
He turned around at my reaction to see my red-face, rather flustered look. Sighing and shaking his head he turned back around and continued walking.
Deciding that it was important, I picked up the cloth and jogged off to catch up to Levi. I could see him walking further up the long corridor and slowed my jog to a walk. He didn't seem to notice me, well, either that or he didn't bother to acknowledge me. Which, I was actually glad for; then he wouldn't see me gawking at his glorious ass. I mean, come one, even after all that had happened, I still had feelings for the man. Even though he probably wouldn't return them. Hell, he probably won't even accept them.
Levi continued to walk, his hypnotising hips swaying his perfectly rounded rump, sensually. Oh it was a sight. I noticed that Levi was also carrying a cloth similar to the one I held in my hand. But, he also had, many other cleaning products littering his cradled arms.
Anyway, Levi pulled up to the door and attempted to reach the handle. This cause, what seemed like, a can of polish to drop out of his hands. He bent over to pick it up. My eyes practically popped out of my skull to see his slacks tightening deliciously around his ass. Oh, it was a sight to behold. As, I was saying, Levi bent down to pick up the can, causing more products to drop out of his hands.
This infuriated him and he gave up, and stood up throwing the remaining products down, letting them splay out across the floor.
On instinct, I leapt forward to help. But, at that time Levi had also decided he would bend down and grapple the products. This ended up in us butting heads.
I hissed and pulled back instantly, my hand whipping up to hold the sore spot above my brows. Levi, acted more dramatically, flying backwards, letting out a string of yelps and curses in the process. "What the fuck, Eren?!" He screamed, making me wince.
"S-sorry." I retaliated, backing away from Levi, who was seething with rage. As he stepped close, I looked up at him, wide eyed and scared.
Something seemed to click in Levi's head and he looked away. His emotions changed a little, into something that resembled sympathy or sorrow. He turned back around and was about to start picking up the fallen objects.
"Levi, wait." I called after him.
He didn't acknowledge me and continued to pick up the fallen objects, opening the door before hands, so he could slip in easily. I followed, on tow, not too close though.
Levi dumped all the products on the bed and proceeded to pick up one of the two bandanas that resided in pile of cleaning materials. He picked up the other one and offered it to me. I guessed we were cleaning the room. I was painfully obvious we were, so I decided not to state, well rather ask, the obvious. It would probably only anger him more. That's if he was even angry.
I shook the thought from my head and proceeded to take the crisp white cloth out from his slender grip. I muttered a "Thanks" and proceeded to tie up my hair within its clinically white confines. I straightened out my clothing and waited for Levi to instruct me on what to do.
He tossed me a can of polish as well as a cloth similar to the one thrown onto my head. He pointed towards some, what looked like mahogany, furniture. "Polish those."
I nodded and made my way over to my set destination. I places my cloth onto my palm and proceeded to spray polish onto said cloth and started to scrub away whatever dust and scuff marks had gathered onto the furniture. There was no conversation made, at all.
These continued until Hanji, Erwin and Petra had arrived back. Even then, I couldn't just drop what I was doing and leave. But, when I heard the sound of the front door, I turned to the noise, obviously not being able to see who it was, but I knew anyway. I turned to Levi, as if I was asking permission, but he just furrowed his brows further and continued his cleaning, so I took to doing the same. I finished the chest of drawers I was scrubbing down and proceeded to take off my hair tie, ruffling it back into place.
Levi looked over, as he noticed my movements, his gaze scanned over the spots I had 'cleaned'. With a click of his tongue and shake of his head, Levi furrowed his brows further. "You call that fucking clean, brat?"
I didn't reply, hell I didn't even move.
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, moving his hands to massage his temples. "Whatever, you are re-cleaning it after food. It's fucking disgusting."
With that, I wordlessly left the room. He didn't even try to stop me. I walked mine and Lev's shared bathroom. I closed the door, locked it and slid down it's cool wooden board. I tried to comprehend all that I had just been told. Along with that and Levi constantly judging me. It's just getting too much. I let a few tears slide down my cheeks as my body shook with silent sobbing.
About 10 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. "Eren…" A silky voice sounded. Great, just who I wanted to see!
OHHHHH! SO TENSE! Sorry if it's a bit all over the place :L I promise the next one will be better.
