Levi's View
"Eren?" My voice comes out too shaky to be my own. Could that really be him? I reach for the sea green eyed boy but my hand falls on nothing. Just air.
"No! Come back...please." The plead slips from my lips, damn him. How could he just disappear after seeing me. Seeing that I could see him too. Furiously I rip my sheets off the bed and race outside. The cold air nips at my skin but I don't care.
"Eren, don't leave. Eren, stay with me." I call out to the woods behind my house. No one answers and theres no sign of Eren to be seen. He up and left without one word. Asshole.
The heat from Eren's touch on my forehead remains, burning the memory into my brain. His soft finger tips, ocean green eyes, tall lean body. All of it, burned into my head. Now my dreams weren't the only reminder of what I once had.
Sighing, I return to bed. Getting away from the icy cold weather and the burdens of today. I'll have to tell Erwin about this but he can wait until later. As I drift back to sleep, I decide that I'm going to accidentally set my alarm for five tomorrow. Maybe I'll see my lover again. If I surprise him and convince him to stay, I might win back my undead boyfriend. Hanji has made some good points, if Eren wanted to harm me then he would have a long time ago.
I miss that damn fool.
The snow falls at a constant rate, making it impossible for anyone to see five feet in front of them. It was nice and warm inside but outside was a completely different story. My breath starts to fog up the window, I knew I needed to go back to the meeting but, it feels like Eren's just sitting on the other side. Waiting for me to call him inside. An annoying prick stings my heart at the thought of him. I just can't bare to forget him. Especially not after today. Which is why I called Erwin to have this meeting. My body won't leave this spot, the only window that shows all of outside. If I step away then so will my imaginary Eren.
"Levi come sit down, we're safe in here." Erwin's deep husky voice calls from the dining room table. With a sigh, I find myself walking over to my chair and sitting. Erwin looks pleased like the family's all together now. Armin and Mikasa sit across from me and Erwin, whom sits between me and Mike.
"Anything new to report, Mike?" I motion towards the silent blond, Erwin raises an eyebrow probably wondering the same thing. Mike only shakes his head, so Eren is hiding.
"And you?" Mike sniffs the air, smelling for something.
"Well-"
'Already turning me in? I thought you were my inamorato, guess I was wrong.' Eren's soft voice reverberates inside my head. I look around, but he's nowhere in sight.
"Levi? You were telling us something important?" Mikasa speaks up for the first time since she got here. Her usual red scarf no longer hangs around her neck. Once Eren left, she burned it. Armin sold all of Eren's belongs that same day. I hope Eren didn't love these two because they obvious didn't feel the same.
"I was saying that-"
'I don't love Eren anymore and wish to kill him. Is that what you're going to say? Or is it more along the lines of, Eren might be stalking me so please send a patrol out to find him. But make sure I get to kill him. Am I close?' Eren's sweet voice echoes in my head again. This time I don't look around, I push away from the table and rush to the window. Unfortunately there's no sign of him.
"Levi! Is something wrong?" Erwin speaks up with a tone of annoyance. I dig my fingernails into the window seal. Damn it! Is Eren doing this on purpose or is this just my imagination?
"No, no I just... I think I discovered something useful. Armin said that recent supplies of blood bags have been stolen, right?" A silence lingers in the air as they think of where I'm going with this.
"...yes?" Armin answers, more like questions.
"Maybe we should relocate the blood storage to avoid this from happening again. Why stop there? Lets fucking relocate the whole hospital while we're at it." Everyone gives me a glare when I turn around.
"You dragged us out here for this? Levi I'm going to assume that you're too tired to be on this case anymore so I'll just remove you from it. Take a vacation until January." Erwin rubs his face in annoyance, he's been nothing but annoyed lately.
"Oh- alright, I'll be seeing you all in January then." I wave goodbye to them and head for the door. Mike leans over and whispers in Erwin's ear, trying to calm him down. Perfect.
I'm not completely sure as to why I decided at the last moment not to tell Erwin and the rest of the officers put on this case. That doesn't matter to me right now, no I need to find my lover. To win him back over. That's what I'll be doing during this vacation of mine.
Finding Eren was not as easy as I thought it would be. He wasn't at our home, sitting on the couch drinking some tea, telling me good job for finally realizing you love me. No Eren wasn't doing that at all, maybe he thinks that I don't truly love him? Or was I just making everything up, he wasn't watching me earlier at the meeting. I couldn't separate my hope from the truth. Damn if only I hadn't agreed to do this, I knew from the very start that I would fall for this brat.
Six Months Ago-
I shouldn't have expected today to be just like any other day, for crying out loud the 104th cadets graduated yesterday. So I really shouldn't have doubted that some annoying ass cadet would be taking the coffee runs, and would definitely mess all the orders up, including mine.
A raven haired girl, wearing a long red scarf during summer? weird, occupied the desk next to mine. One of her cadet mates stuttered up a storm as he tried to take her order. Love at first coffee order how amazing. Once he managed to write down the order he made his way on over to me. Well fuck me.
"H-hello Corporal Levi, what would you like from Starbucks?" The boy had an undercut like me, his hair however started dirty blond at the top then darkened to a dirt brown at the shaved part. His eyes were brown too, representing the little shit he probably was.
"I don't like coffee, unless they have black tea then move on." I turned back to my desk to continue doing my papers on the resent vampire attacks. His presents stayed, not moving on, lingering in the small cubical. Fuck me harder then.
"What?" I yelled out more harshly than needed. I just want to finish my goddamn paperwork so I can have the weekend off.
"I doubt you remember, but you saved me from those monsters five years ago. I owe you my life. I can tell you want me to leave but please just know that if it wasn't for you then everyone in Rose wouldn't be alive today." And with that the brown haired boy left, leaving me curious as to why he would even consider joining this profession if it would remind him of his past. God knows that I'm an idiot for doing the same.
"Lance Corporal Levi, Commander Erwin wishes to see you." My assistant, Petra, calls from behind me. Luckily I have most of my paperwork finished, the black coffee that cadet from earlier gave me lays in the trash. Petra stares at the drink with amusement. "Anything serious?" I rise from my chair, secretly enjoying this break.
"He says its very important." I pass the red headed girl and nod my head in thanks.
As I pass the raven haired girl's cubical I notice that she's nowhere to be found, how strange.
I enter Erwin's big ass office, the smell of caramel hits me immediately. Mike loves the smell, says it reminds him of Erwin. So Erwin got fifteen caramel candles to match the smell. Vampires always pinpoint a person with a smell like Hanji is lemons. I can't understand why Erwin bought candles that smell like him though.
Sitting at his desk is the tall blond, but to my surprise the girl sits in front of him. Erwin smiles when he sees me, oh shit. I know that look. She just told him something very good.
I take no time in sitting down beside her, she jumps as I plop into the chair. Hmm strange.
"Levi, Mikasa here has told me something very interesting. Could you tell Levi for me?" Erwin bends his head and begins to write something on notebook paper.
"I live with a vampire. His name is Eren Jaeger, he doesn't kill people so I don't want you to kill him. But he's still liable to snap. I'm afraid that he'll kill someone and won't even remember it. You see he has this horrible condition, he can't remember anything that makes him upset." She plays with her scarf as she speaks. Her black eyes stare into the wall behind me, she wants it to look like she's making eye contact with me.
"If you don't want us to kill the blood sucker then why tell us of him?" A spark ignites in her eyes, oh this is gonna be interesting.
"I have lived with him for a very long time, he's like a brother to me. But I can't let my feelings get in the way, if he hurts anyone then it will surely be my fault. I can't live with that blood on my hands." She's not bad at lying, but I can see through her act. So can Erwin, which means-
"Levi, I want you to have your special operation team follow Mr. Jaeger and learn more about him. If we can help him from becoming a monster then we'll do everything we can." His blue eyes burn with hatred at his own words. How is it that this man, whom hates vampires more than anything in this world, be in love with one too? Mike must be very special to Erwin if he still loves him after his transformation. Mike was trying to protect Erwin on a mission a few weeks ago. Mike of course was taken instead of Erwin. When Mike came back, he wasn't the same. He hasn't said one word about what happened since then.
"You can leave Mikasa, I need to speak with Levi privately." She stands up and bows, then leaves the room.
"I have a separate mission for you, I want you to make this vampire fall in love with you. Perhaps he can tell us more about the vampire realm if he's in love with you. Mike hasn't said one word to me."
I lean forward and glare at the blond giant. "I can't accept this mission, its been years since I've been in a relationship Erwin, I don't even know what the hell to do to make someone fall in love with you. Hints why I'm still single. And Erwin, Mike hasn't told you shit because you keep shutting him out. I know you guys fell in love years ago and since he was turned it's been awkward but get your shit together. Mike is afraid if he even shows you his fangs, you'll stab him to death. Put me in a different case, one that I won't fuck up."
I haven't talked back to Erwin in so long, but everything I've said is true. "This Eren shit head might not even be gay for all we know." Erwin sits forward and smiles. "But you are and I've seen how you flirt. No one can resist. I'll work with Mike on our relationship if you can just try to deal with this "Eren shit head". I want weekly reports, on everything. From his eye color to his favorite sex position." Rolling my eyes, I get up and sigh.
"Alright, but if everything fucks up it's your fault." I begin to leave but his voice makes me halt. "Oh and Levi, make sure not to fall in love with him." I nod my head. Of course I'm not going to fall in love with a vampire, thats impossible.
Present-
Where should I go? I can't go to Eren's old apartment, Mikasa and Armin will be there. Mike is pretty much useless to this kind of shit. He won't do anything to upset Erwin and helping me certainly will. Plus Eren has done a great job at hiding his scent. Mike can't find a trail no matter how hard he tries.
So like a dumb human, I grab my gun full of silver and a bag and take off, not looking back. In my bag, towards the bottom, lays the journal full of photos of my lover. I'm gonna find him and once I do, I'm gonna kick his ass for leaving me behind.
