What did my father do now!?
A million thoughts were running through Eren's head when he heard his father's name from Hanji's mouth. No...what if he did something to the other companies!?
As if reading his thoughts, Levi gave a stern questioning look, his eyes were filled with suspicion and worry. "What did Grisha do?"
Cringing slightly at the fact that Eren was going to hear what his father had did, Hanji took a deep breath before finding the words to explain the situation.
"Grisha...He came and he declared that...well actually, he didn't come and declare anything but rather we found out what he did to our company...!" Her usually happy tone was laced with malice and frustration, her eyes glued to the floor.
"Well..!? Spit it out shitty glasses! I don't have all day to listen to you beat around the bush! WHAT DID HE DO TO OUR COMPANY!?" Levi was getting frustrated at the fact that he didn't know what was going on and the fact that today was meant to be a day he was going to spend with Eren.
Snapping her head up, "Our files that contained everything to our company are basically in his hands now! There was a bug administered in one of our employee's computers and when he opened the files to work, it copied EVERYTHING to another computer outside of our company! I traced the bug through one of my programs and the name Grisha came up!"
"What...did you say?" Eren's eyes grew wide incredulously, he knew his father was smart and was capable of doing such things but he never thought that Grisha would do something like this. No...I believe he wouldn't do that!
"I'm sorry Eren...it's the truth" Hanji hung her head dejectedly.
A moment of silence embraced the three before Levi swiftly got out of bed, and yes he was stark naked, and headed over to his wardrobe before grabbing boxers and a suit.
Getting dressed, Levi looked over his shoulder before apologetic eyes met pained teal ones, "I'm sorry Eren...but can you go home now? This is a matter which i have to take care of"
"...No, this is a matter which we take care of!" Snapping out of his thoughts, the brunette desperately wanted to show his lover that he was capable of helping.
I won't let my father do this to Levi's company...!
"No, this is my business and i don't want to drag you into it!" The ravenette sighed.
"You're not dragging me into anything! I want to help!" Getting slightly frustrated at the older male's actions Eren furrowed his brows.
"Guys guys...Calm down" Hanji held her hands up, her face full of worry as she regretted not waiting till later to tell her best friend.
"NO!" The two simultaneously answered.
Sighing in defeat, Hanji looked over her shoulders once more before exiting the room to leave the two in privacy.
Stomping out of Levi's apartment Eren couldn't believe that Levi had acted that way toward him. He knew that Levi was one to do his work alone but couldn't he even share it with his lover? Argh! Today was meant to be a good day for both of us! Why did it have to turn out this way!?
Getting into his Audi R8, Eren gripped the steering wheel till his knuckles turned white. Tch! I've got to find out why dad did that to Levi's company! No, why he even did something that despicable in the first place
Speeding through the city, Eren recalled the fight he just had with Levi.
-Flashback-
"Why are you so stubborn Levi!? It IS my business when my father decides to do that to your company!" Teal eyes shining with anger, Eren clenched his fists.
"Tsk! Like i said, i don't want you interfering with my work, You'll just be a bother!" The older man hissed.
"Looks like you forgot that I run a company aswell!" the brunette was infuriated now at how his lover was acting.
"Tch! Do i have to repeat myself? It's troublesome having you in my work!" Growling at Eren's hint of sarcasm, the ravenette soon regretting the words that left his mouth when he saw how hurt Eren's expression was.
"Just...get out, You're not helping me in any way right now..." Sighing slightly in frustration and guilt, Levi pressed his fingers against his forehead and furrowed his brows.
"Fine. I see how i am to you", Eren couldn't even describe how hurt he felt at the moment. Hearing the words 'interfering' and 'bother' pierced his heart as it reflected on how useless he was to Levi.
-Flashback End-
Reaching his company, Eren couldn't help but feel a small sense of disgust at what his father could've possibly done to make this company rise from dirt to riches. Guess I've gotta face him now or never.
Climbing out of his Audi R8, Eren took a deep breath before stepping into his company. Or rather, his father's company. It occurred to Eren that he might've been operating in the dark whilst the brunette was falsely put in charge. Clicking the elevator button Eren watched as the level lights lit up before reaching ground level.
Hearing the familiar ding before walking in, Eren's heart felt like it was being squeezed. Why am i so nervous? It's not like i don't know my father. It'll just be a normal business talk between us.
Reaching the top floor where he knew Grisha resided in, Eren felt the cool breeze rustle his hair before a faint sweet aroma found its way into his nostrils. The brunette resided on the floor below his father's but he never knew what the source of the sweet scent was. Walking to where his father's office was, Eren was greeted by the constant beeping sounds of the printer. What could he be printing that has so many pages? Looking over to where the printer was, a good stack of A4 paper piled up before his eyes. Resisting the urge to walk over and take a peek at the papers, Eren straightened his blazer before stepping through the automatic doors to his father's office.
Greeted by the back of a leather armchair, Eren faintly saw a thin puff of smoke from the man.
"F-father, I have something i wan't to discuss" The brunette's mind was racing a thousand miles an hour as he was trying to gather his thoughts. Swirling his chair around, Grisha's sharp eyes met oppressed teal ones, "Ah Eren, I was looking for you. Saved me the trouble, take a seat"
Taking a seat as instructed, the brunette sat himself in a similar armchair but coloured in a deep midnight blue.
"What did you want to talk about?" the deep voice resounded through the serene room.
"Well...I want to ask how our company rose to our ranks so fast, i mean we were a very small company so there was no way we could've gotten the resources to climb so high..." Hearing the uncertainty in his son's voice, Grisha mentally sighed, ...So he found out, but he must not know yet.
"Ah, this matter, yes it would be very peculiar for such a small company to rise in ranks so fast. But i can tell you this, our company rose so fast was because of sheer hard work. Nothing else", Eren could feel a small twinge of suspicion at how his father had implied he had nothing to do with illegal things even though Eren hadn't questioned him about that yet.
"Then have you ever done anything to other companies?", Grisha slightly cringed at the imposing question. Heh, he gets straight to the point doesn't he?
"...No, like i said this company plays fair in ranks. We take down other companies fair and square" Taking a sip from his coffee, Grisha eyed the boy as his facial expression turned into one of anger and disappointment.
"Dad, answer me this honestly. Did you ever do anything that contradicted what you just said 'fair and square' to other companies? Eren clenched his fists under the table. He knows that i know so why isn't he telling me anything!? I'm his son for gods sake!
"Eren, are you doubting me? I just said no clearly before" Keeping his calm, Grisha would do anything to prevent his plans from going haywire. I won't let you spoil my plans Eren. Not even you.
"You're lying...You. are. lying. STRAIGHT TO MY FACE DAD! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO KYOJIN INC!" Eren couldn't take his father's blatant lies anymore.
"Eren, calm down, listen to me" Tch, if he already knows this much I can't let him interfere!
"No dad! This is wrong! Playing fair and square? Do you even know what those words mean!? Administrating a bug into one of their computers isn't playing fair and square! It's playing cheap!" Eren was infuriated at how his father would actually do that.
Grisha's eye twitched, "SILENCE!" his voice boomed.
Fuming, Eren's infuriated teal eyes stared in the fiery eyes of his father.
"Cheap? HA! You make me laugh, son. This isn't playing cheap. It is called being smart and using all of your resources to climb to the top. Being in the business world the word fair and square don't exist. So tell me, how did you find out that i had that bug set up in their computers, hm?" Raising an eyebrow in amusement Grisha's cold stare never once fazed Eren.
"So it was true...You disappoint me Dad" Emphasizing on the last word, Eren made sure to get his point across, "Remember how you said to me 'crush every competitor company to be the best, but you'll only feel the satisfaction if you put up an equal fight'?"
"Yes I remember saying that bu-"
"No, listen to me! Right now, what you are doing...Is it an equal fight? Hell, is it even a fight!? Hacking their company files just to sabotage them overnight!? I will NOT let you do this to Levi's company!" Eren didn't care what kind of manners he held right now, he was too furious to even think about it.
Suddenly, Grisha smirked before chuckling then finally breaking into a hysterical laugh, "Levi? This all makes sense to as why you are so furious. You wouldn't care about what I do to other companies, it just so happens that I chose the company in which you like the boss!"
Eren suddenly regretted mentioning Levi's name. His father would never approve of his only son being gay and what more to it, the brunette knew that his father would do anything to prevent him seeing Levi again after this.
"So my little boy likes Levi, the owner of Kyojin Inc...HAHAHAHAHAHA" Eren felt timid all of a sudden when he felt an ominous feeling emit from his father.
Grisha's eyes darkened in what Eren saw as digust, "That is disgusting. You being gay? I never raised you to be like this. I have two proposals for you, my son. Care to hear it?"
The brunette felt his heart burn in anger, "Since you already know, what. is. it?" Eren hissed.
"I will give you two options. Clearly you are being clouded by desire, considering you've never had a girlfriend and this so called Levi most likely seduced you, you are NOT gay. Option one: You stay away from Levi from now on,you are not to ever see him again and i will not do anything to his company", Grisha grinned.
"WHAT!? I KNOW he did not seduce me, nor am i clouded by desire! I genuinely love him!" Eren argued.
"SHUT UP! YOU ARE NOT TO SAY YOU LOVE HIM, IT IS DISGUSTING AND VILE. LISTEN TO MY SECOND OPTION OR I WILL CHOOSE FOR YOU" Grisha practically yelled.
Silenced by the sudden outburst Eren listened on, "Option two, you keep on seeing him and i will crush whatever he has dear to him and his company. Starting with that Hanji girl"
Eren held back the urge to just punch the absolute crap out of his father for giving him unreasonable options. I...i can't let him do this to Levi...Why is it that even in this life we don't even get to spend time together just like a normal couple would...?
Eren hung his head dejectedly, clenching his fists at his side he managed to hiss out, "Fine. I'll keep my word and you keep yours. If you don't, I don't know what I'll do to you and the company"
"That's my boy. Now shoo, I need to do some work" Smirking, Grisha gestured at the door before twirling in his armchair to face his computer.
Stomping out, Eren needed somewhere to release his anger. Anywhere will do, I need my mind off this.
Back at the company, Levi banged his fist on the table angrily. "Tell me why do i have to sort this shit out!? and where is this employee, I'll see to it that he is fired"
It was bad enough that he had to manually reset the whole system so that the bug would be flushed out of the system and now he had to sort all the files in the company into different folders so it wouldn't be copied.
Fuck! This is fucking tedious! Why the fuck isn't shitty glasses anywhere to be seen!? And where the fuck is my fucking coffee?
Burying his head into his hands, Levi closed his eyes. For the whole day he had been carrying around this heavy feeling on his chest. Must be regret...I shouldn't have said that to Eren...I'll go apologise later but for now I have to save my company
Tapping furiously away, Levi wanted to finish this before night came so he could go and visit Eren.
Meanwhile, Hanji was in the back of her separate office listening to the conversation that happened between Eren and his father. She had planted a small recording device in the collar of his blazer, Oh no...What's going to happen to Levi and Eren!? Levi needs to hear this before any misunderstandings happen!
Rushing to where Levi was, Hanji burst in, "Levi! I need you to hear this now!", Clenching the device in her hand.
"Tsk! Not now shitty glasses! Can't you see I'm trying to fix the goddamn company right now while you're off doing random shit?!" Levi wanted to see Eren so badly he refused to let anything distract him now. Not even if she bribes me with something concerning Eren.
"No! It's not random shit! This is extremely important! It's got something to do with Ere-"
"Hanji! Not now! I'm busy as fuck! Tell me later!" Levi's eyebrows furrowed in frustration.
Catching his drift, Hanji knew she wouldn't be able to get through to him now. Sighing in defeat she left the recorder device on his table, "Listen to this after you're done with the work. Promise me you'll listen to it no matter what"
"Yes yes, now just leave me alone to do my work", With that Hanji left the ravenette in his office.
- 3 hours later -
Slumping back in his chair, Levi ran a hand through his tousled hair. Finally I'm done, now to see Eren.
Stretching his arms, Levi was about to walk out of his office when he saw the recording device Hanji had left him. Putting that in his pocket, he decided he would listen to it later.
Levi walked briskly out of his office and down to the car park where his black Lamborghini Aventador was parked. Climbing in, the ravenette put the gear in reversed and pulled out.
Driving over the speed limit, Levi sped to where Eren's apartment was. How he knew where his lover lived was thanks to Hanji as she was a genius at tracking things.
Arriving at Eren's apartment, Levi straightened out his tie before pressing the doorbell. A tired figure appeared at the door when it was opened, teal eyes grew wide when they met gray ones.
"L-L-Levi?" Eren spluttered, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to say apologise for earlier, shitty brat" Levi leaned in to hug his lover. Returning the hug needily Eren melted into the embrace when he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him earlier in the day.
Pushing Levi by the chest, Eren looked away sadly. Shocked by the sudden rejection, Levi raised an eyebrow.
"Oi brat...what's wrong?"
"Levi...you shouldn't be here...go home" the brunette mumbled
"Why? I came here to see my lover, isn't that good enough of a reason?" Questioning Eren's change in mood Levi wondered what happened to him while he was gone.
"Look if you're still angry at what i said to you, I'm sorry Eren. It wasn't meant to be like how i had said it"
"...No I'm not angry at that anymore" Eren sighed.
Getting slightly annoyed at the younger males mood, Levi grabbed Eren's wrist and pinned them against the wall, "Then tell me what is wrong, how am i meant to know if you don't tell me?"
"Levi, let. me. go. Just...go home. I...think we shouldn't see each other for a while..." Eren's heart shattered when those words left his mouth.
"What the fuck?! What the fuck is wrong with you all of a sudden? Here i am apologising and worrying about you and you're just rejecting everything I'm doing!" Levi let his anger burn through his cold facade.
"I mean what i said! Just go home! I don't want to see you!" Furiously holding back tears, Eren was freed from the vice grip of Levi's.
"Fine, have it your way. If i had known it would have been like this, I wish i didn't remember my past life" Slamming the door, the ravenette felt his heart break just like how it did when he first saw Eren, without his memory.
Watching Levi walk away killed Eren. Sliding down the door, the brunette clutched his mouth. Afraid to make any sounds known to Levi that he was crying. Hearing the car rev out, Eren cried his heart and eyes out. Screaming Levi's name and clawing at the floor.
I'm so sorry Levi...! Forgive me...I love you
Walking listlessly to his car, Levi slumped in his car seat before placing a hand over his eyes. He felt tears run down the side of his cheek, ugh fuck! fuck my fucking luck in this life. Fuck my past life! Fuck everything! Everything is ruined...
Gripping his heart, he felt something hard in his blazer. Taking it out, it was the recording device Hanji gave him. He briefly recalled her saying it was extremely important. Shit, this better not be a fucking troll or I'm going to break this and then break her face. Not in the fucking mood for it.
Clicking play, Eren's voice met his ears. As the device played what seemed to be a conversation he had with his father, Levi couldn't believe what he heard.
"That is disgusting. You being gay? I never raised you to be like this. I have two proposals for you, my son. Care to hear it?", Levi's mind burned with rage as he listened on to what Eren had to deal with.
By the time the ravenette had finished listening to the conversation, the device was practically bent in half in the palms of his hands. That stupid brat...! Now i know why he acted that way. Tch, so he's being blackmailed. I'll get you out of this Eren, I'm going to teach that filthy-scumbag of a father of yours a lesson he'll never forget. Wait for me..
Levi drove away back to his apartment. Reaching his apartment, the ravenette briskly walked up to his room and sat at his computer. Taking in a deep breath he began working on some unknown program. They don't call me the Grim Reaper for no reason, Grisha!
