Thank you so much MaggiexxLove and Drisaa for leaving reviews. I think you both have made some good points about whom should be topping. Hope you enjoy!
A hooded figure stands in front of me, I'm unable to decipher the gender of this strange being before me. We're in a dark, empty hall wall that's all I know. I don't remember coming here or even how I got here. The figure steps closer to me and retrieves a dagger from their cloak. A growl escapes my throat while I put up my fist. Come get me. They turn the dagger towards themself and sink it into their flesh. My eyes widen, I rush forward to help them. Are they suicidal? But when I pull the knife out of their chest, I find that no blood is on it. What?
"W-what is this?" I cry out, I search around for anyone just someone to explain what the hell is going on. No one is in the hall way. I look back to the now falling stranger, I barely manage to catch them. The hood falls back and a women with blond hair and blue eyes looks up at me. Tears have started to fall down her cheeks.
"Its okay, don't worry Ma'am. I'll get you some medical help and then you'll be all good." I ramble on how she was going to be fine, but I knew deep down that she wasn't going to be okay. Her body started to get lighter, I look down at her legs and scream.
The skin that should have been on her leg was eroding away. Only muscles and veins wrapped around her bones. I swallow back blood, since I don't eat food I can't vomit up anything but blood, and look away from the gruesome scene. Why is this happening?
"Er-en" her soft voice calls out, she's looking up at the ceiling, her eyes are glazed over. She's dying. How does she know my name? "Yes?" I whisper unable to speak up. Blood starts to trail down her lips, nose, and eyes. Blood bubbles form as she tries to speak. "Ym-" she coughs up more blood, the smell oh no it finally reaches my nose. I stop breathing, I can't let her see my fangs even if she's going to die.
"Save your strength," her legs are completely gone now, not even bones remain. Her torso is starting to undergo the same process. She grabs my arm and pulls herself up to make eye contact with me.
"Kill them Eren, The Wings of Freedom did this to me. Our family is crumbling." She lets out a shaky breath and falls back. Her body becomes dust, those were her last words. Who is this girl?
I fall off my bed, hitting the carpet with a loud thud. Ow. I roll onto my back, was that another dream? Holy shit that was some creepy stuff. With weak legs, I crawl over to my nightstand and pluck my phone off the charger. No messages from Levi, but its only three in the morning so he should be asleep. My fingers start typing, wanting to take my mind off that dream. If I wake him up he'll be so pissed, I bite my lip.
'Goodmornin? Im in the mood for dont have work today right? Its saturday, get a life.'
/Sent to Levi/
I patiently wait for a reply. Levi might be up due to his newest case, he hasn't told me anything about his work aside from that its different from Mikasa. I groan when five minutes pass by and Levi hasn't even read the message. Fuck, there goes my source of comfort. A thought crosses my mind, I haven't eaten in front of him yet or really drank anything. And we've been seeing each other for about what? Two weeks, he must be a little suspicious. Ugh, I really don't want to speed things up with him but I don't want this to end before I can get a taste of him. My phone vibrates in my hands sending my line of vision towards the screen in less than a second. Super speed comes in handy when it wants to work.
'Shouldn't you be asleep, brat? I guess some coffee wouldn't hurt. I'll pick you up in five.'
/From Levi/
Screaming into a pillow after reading a text message is normal, right? I stumble up and throw some clothes on, a heavy coat and boots. Done. I pass my mirror and give my hair a quick pat down, that'll do. After getting my physical appearance checked over, I tip toe into the bath room trying to keep my roommates asleep. Now my breath needs some fixing. Sleep can make it smell terrible, even for a vampire. Blood doesn't smell sexy for humans, anyways. Mouthwash saves me and before I know it my phone vibrates once again. Levi probably telling me he's here. I rush out of the small apartment to see Levi standing beside his navy blue car. He's dressed for comfort but damn does he look good. Knee high boots, dark tight jeans, and a grey designer sweater. I think my pants just got a little tighter. A smile bursts onto my face and I run, at a normal speed, over to my lover. He opens his arms, allowing me to squeeze into his chest. He smells so sweet and delicious. I want to stay right here, in his arms, forever.
"Hey, are we gonna get coffee or what?" His face is emotionless but I see the excitement in his eyes. I lean up and kiss his lips. He makes a surprised noise. I pull away in fear, did I hurt him? His eyes are widen but he looks fine beside that.
"Um sorry, I just thought-" hands pull me back down and lips ensnare me once more. Soft, delicate lips move against mine, I grab his sweater and pull him closer. I lick his bottom lip and a moan comes from Levi. A new scent fills my nose, one that is not Levi's. I pull away from the withering mess under me and look around. All I can see are cars, we are in a parking lot. No one is around, strange. I look back at Levi and smirk. He has a fear filling glare on, pointing straight at me.
"Get in the car, Jaeger." He practically slams open his car door and jumps in. I can't stop laughing even when we drive away. His pouting face is just too adorable, with his lip jutted out and a scowl covering his usual expressionless face. He ignores me for every second, not even my poking or teasing will make him look my way. Maybe I'm too tired or just too happy to care if he's actually angry. I just want to be around him more.
We pull up into an 24/7 open diner, the lights slicker on inside. Levi make no move to leave the car, only switching the heat up to fill the car with more hot air. A peaceful silence settled in, his features relaxed as he started to heat up. Once again, no feeling to temperature so I'm fine.
"Have you watched the news lately?" His voice comes out soft, like he's deep in thought. With the air on high it would have been hard to hear him but my hearing was like a dog's. "Not really but I work at Wall Rose so I get the news through there." Levi looks over at me with a questioning gleam in his eyes, but he doesn't say anything.
"Have you noticed?" I tilt my head, I can't say that I don't understand because I have noticed but. Is that what he's asking? "The death count has risen in the last couple days." He sits back and rubs his chin.
"So you see it to, eh. Not every one is a selfish pig then." I raise an eyebrow, "in your line of profession, is it easier to see from the victims viewpoint or the killers?" My eyes don't leave his as I ask this, I must sound crazy right now. "Everyone says the victims, don't they? It wouldn't be hard to, the poor helpless victim whom only wanted to go out for a sandwich. However," Levi leans closer to me until his lips are against my ear. "we both know that everyone has evil in them." His voice sends shivers down my spine, its so smooth and alluring.
"Levi, don't speak too loudly. The monsters can hear you." Levi freezes against me, his blood runs faster through his body. I'm not sure why Levi is afraid, he shouldn't understand what I just told him. Whoever was watching us against the car earlier, had followed us here. Their scent, a man's, wasn't too far from us now. I turn my head to face Levi, he remains still. His fingers start to shake, he shouldn't be this scared. I won't let anyone hurt him.
"Monster's aren't real, Eren. Stop messing around." He abruptly gets out of the car and waits for me outside so we can have our coffee. I rush out of the car and hurry after him.
Coffee tastes like shit in sweet cream. I don't usually don't add cream in when I drink it, which is almost never. Levi sits across from me in our booth, he's focusing on his tea. I don't mind because I get to look at him. His eyebrows are a little too perfect for a guys and his lips? Those are too soft he must carry lip balm on him. His black silky hair tops everything off, its like the last piece to a puzzle. It completes his look. During my examination, I failed to notice that Levi had looked up.
"See something you like?" His grin sends an arrow through my heart. "You better believe it." I almost drool at his smile, so beautiful. He laughs and takes a sip from his cup. "So we're a thing, right? Like exclusive, right?" Levi traces the rim of his cup with his index finger, the question throws me off. He sounds so innocent.
"I thought we were, I haven't found anyone else that I want to pound into right now." Levi's face erupts his cheeks turn in tomatoes. So cute. "Oh did I say all of that? Sorry, I know we're going slow but I can't help myself." I take a sip from my coffee and look at the waitress, waving her over for a check. As she approaches, a leg rubs against mine. "How long has this feeling been going on?" Levi barely whispers, I look at him and smile. "Since I first saw you." Levi curses under his breath when the woman finally gets to the table.
"Was everything nice?" Her voice sounds like chalk against a blackboard. "Absolutely." I smile up at her, she only sighs and lays the check down. "Have a nice day, oh and before I forget. That man over there paid for your drinks." I raise an eyebrow and look back at Levi for answers but he's just as confused as me.
"Thank you," I mumble out. I grab Levi's hand and yank him up. "We're leaving," I run out of the diner, Levi follows behind me. Not one word of resistance leaves his mouth. We drive away, I only got to glance at the man for a second but I saw enough. He has the same scent and the same cloak as the woman I held in my dream. "Our family is crumbling." Those were her last words, does that mean he's connected to her?
Levi doesn't drive me back to my apartment, instead we drive to his house. No sorry let me correct myself, his mansion. Seriously his place his huge. Its still in the city but they're aren't any houses around it. Only trees, its calming actually. We pull into a garage which has like two beautiful cars in it that I could never afford. "Are you rich or something?" I accuse him as I stand awestruck in front of the cars. He wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me close.
"No, I'm allow to take some items from the criminal I put in jail. Most of them are drug dealers so I keep the money and cars. It pays to do good." He leads me through his whole house, showing me each room. Not one speck of dust lays on anything, now that I think of it his garage was really clean for being a garage. He might be a clean freak, but is that bad?
"And here's the bedroom, would you like to speed things up? I do have a guest bedroom." He loosens his hold on me. I ponder over it for a moment. "Its four we should probably get some sleep, I don't care where I sleep." Levi pulls me into his room and closes the door. "I never asked you but," he walks over to a dresser and removes his shirt. Damn those back muscles. "You text me at three in the morning about getting coffee. I thought you're all nighters were done since you're out of college now." I fumble with the helm of my sleeves.
"I had a nightmare and wanted to stop thinking of it. I didn't know who else to go to." Levi walks back over to me, a smirk on his lips. "Baby Eren had a nightmare? Aw don't cry little brat, daddy's here." I internally grimace while my anger gets the best of me.
"I was trying to get to know you better but if you're going to be an ass then I'll just go." I turn to leave this goddamn mansion but a hand slams the door shut, blocking my escape. His heart is pounding, if I had a living one it would be too. "L-levi?" I stammer out, his breath hits my ear, I shiver in excitement.
"I hate you," his words turn me to stone. That's not romantic, that's the opposite of what he should be saying. "Wha-" another hand slams into the door, blocking me on both sides now. "Shut the hell up, damn it!" His breaths come out at a slow pace, he's breathing hard. I feel a sudden wait added to my back but I don't dare to move. That must be his head resting on my back. His heart slows down from its intense speed. He's really worked up, over what I'm not sure.
"You need to get out of my house, out of my life. I didn't want you coming in and ruining everything. You need to leave me alone from now on." Tears prickle up in my eyes, I don't respond, not sure how to deal with this. He sighs into my back as his arms drop to his sides. He doesn't move, so all his weight is on me.
"So many things need to happen, I need to be straight. I need to have a family. I need to take my life more seriously. You see Eren? They're all pigs who only care about themselves. I don't need a family, I don't need to change myself for anyone. I don't need you to come in my life right now and make me weak. I can barely get work done nowadays. So just do us both a favor kid, leave me and go enjoy someone else's attention. I don't need to be dragging you down." He stumbles back letting me go, but I can't do the same. I grab his arm and flip us. So that I'm holding him down against the wall, but my face is pressed into his chest.
"Don't say such things Levi! I need you in my life, I try to act tougher than I am so that no one will be able to see my weak side. I can't afford to be weak in my life, not when so many people depend on me. I'm not leaving because," I pull away to wipe my tears away. "I can't bare to think of you being weak by yourself. I'll stand by your side and protect you from all the evil in this world. Just don't try to get me to leave, okay?" I snuggle back into his chest and listen to the heartbeats that grow faster.
"You keep surprising me, brat. I'm too tired to kick you out anyways. Lets lay down." He mumble, he drags me to the bed and flops down. Sleep takes him away the second his head hits the pillow. I tuck him under the blankets and scoot in beside him. I pull his body into mine using him like a body pillow. His head is just under my nose, allowing me to smell him as we sleep. So sweet and nice.
Before I knew it Monday came around. I ended up staying with Levi for the rest of the weekend, which was really nice. We didn't fight again but Levi did act like he was on ice when certain conversations were brought up. Mostly ones about his family and his past relationships. I don't mind not having answers its not like we've been together for long.
"Eren" Mr. Hannas snaps me back into reality, am I thankful for that? No since I had been thinking of Levi. I turn my attention to him anyways and notice the stranger beside him. She has brown hair that seems to be clipped back and she has freckles. I don't really notice anything else about her beside her bored expression, it looks like Levi's.
"This is our newest journalist, Ymir. I'm assigning you to be in charge of her. Teach her how to run the copy machine and who everyone is. I'll check back in with you later." He walks away towards his office. I look back to Ymir and smile.
"Its nice to meet you, lets get started." She nods her head and follows behind me as I explain who this is and how that works, just giving her the basics. Once I finish I turn towards her.
"Any questions?" She looks around before staring at the t.v. it was always set to the news but everyone learns to ignore it. "None at the moment, but your name is Eren, right?" I always forget to wear my nametag dammit.
"Yeah, if you need any help just come find me." I start to walk back to my office but she stops me. "Is it safe to play innocent in the monsters den?" What kind of question is that?!
"Depends on what monster, I guess. But no one is truly innocent so there's no point in trying." She doesn't respond after that so I leave to finish my work. I ponder in my head for the rest of the day. This Ymir girl is really interesting, especially since she's a vampire like me.
I've been leaving some clues around for you guys and will continue too. Comment on who you think mystery man is. Oh and just an fyi the story is going to have a lot more gore so if this chapter made you sick, you should probably hop off the EreriLover13 express. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
