3:50 had just rolled around when Eren left work. He'd gotten paid today and was smiling as he walked down the street, heading to a small jewelers close to his work place. He was planning on buying a ring to give to Levi, not like an engagement ring but just a little something for him so he knows that Eren loves him, and cherishes him.
The shop wasn't over-extravagant and was relatively small. It had one glass window in the front and was connected to other stores on both sides. In the window was a sign saying select jewelry was 25% off. Nothing special.
Eren pushed open the door and heard the chime over the door indicating his entrance. The shop had clean wooden floors, a vertical display case in the middle and one on either side. On the side directly across the entrance was the register and a bored looking girl sitting in a chair behind it.
"Hey. How may I help you?" she said in a monotonous voice.
Eren grinned at her before walking to her. "Where are the rings?"
She gestured over to her right.
"Thanks!"
Eren walked to the case and looked down at the pieces of jewelry. Every one was pretty much the same, most being gold with a diamond topping it. As he walked to the end he found a few silver ones. He smiled to himself when he thought he spotted the perfect one. It was silver, of course, with three sapphire stones on the top, a big one in the middle and two smaller ones on either side.
Eren turned to the girl sitting behind the counter. "Excuse me?"
The girl raised a brow at him. "Hm?"
"How much is this ring? The one with the sapphire?"
"$110."
Eren gave her a surprised look. "Wow. That's it?"
She nodded.
"Is it pure silver?"
She nodded again. "But we have one in the back that's like that one but with some small diamonds in between the sapphire."
Eren looked thoughtful. "How much is it?"
"$450."
Eren blinked in surprise. "Whoa... that's quite the difference."
"Would you like to see it, sir?" the girl stood up from her place.
Eren nodded. "Please."

He turned to her and watched her walk into a doorway behind the register counter. He waited only a minute before he saw her come back out with a blue felt box in her hand. She walk towards him and handed over the small item. He took it and pulled the top up. The ring was beautiful, as were all the others, but this one had to be the one. It indeed was like the one in the case but it had three diamonds in between the blue stones. It was perfect and Eren was sure Levi would love it.
"I'll take it."

After buying the ring using his most recent check and some out of his savings, Eren walked to his home wearing an even brighter smile than he had before going into the shop. He could only imagine the look on his neko's face when he opened the box.
He rounded the corner and suddenly heard the sounds of police sirens approaching from the direction of his apartment. He sped up his pace to where he was almost running. He arrived at the building and saw at least five police cars and an ambulance standing by near it.
"Eren!"
Said a man. He looked around and saw that it was Connie jogging to him.
"Connie?! What is this?! What's going on?!"
Connie panted as he stopped in front his friend. He put a hand on his shoulder. "You need to come with me."

"Look, can someone please tell me what the hell is about?! I need to get home! Someone's waiting for me!" Eren shouted as he was led to a police department interrogation room.
"Calm down, Eren. We'll tell you as soon as we get somewhere quiet." Bertholdt, a friend of Connie's and Eren's, spoke in a calming tone.
Eren sighed and walked into a room with only one window on the door as it was opened for him. He sat in the metal chair near an equally metal table. Bertholdt closed the door and stood in front of it after Connie walked in and sat across from Eren.
"Okay Eren. I'm going to tell you what happened but you have to promise me you won't over react. You need to know things will work out." Connie said very seriously. "If you get furious or become dangerous in my eyes, I won't hesitate to tell Bertholdt to restrain you. I know how you get with things like this."
Eren glared at both of his friends. "Yeah, fine, just tell me already."
Connie took a deep breath. "Since I have no other way to approach telling you this, I'll just come out with it... Levi has been kidnapped."
Everything around Eren froze... Did he hear Connie right? Levi... kidnapped? But... But how? Who? When?! Why?!
"Are you alright Eren?"
No, he wasn't alright. The last person who meant everything to him was gone. He wanted to just die...
"Eren?" Connie snapped his fingers in front of Eren's face.
Eren blinked a few times and seemingly broke away from his daze. He lowered his head and stared at the table. "Who?"
"What?"
Eren quickly rose up and gave Connie an almost feral look. "Who?!"
Bertholdt immediately moved behind Eren and pushed him back down into the chair.
"We don't know who! If you calm down I'll tell you what we do know!" Connie countered.
Eren silenced himself but still looked extremely furious. It took all of his will power to not bust out of this room and go on a murderous rampage on a search for his lover.
"At around 3:00 pm, a report came to the station about someone hearing odd noises coming from the second floor hallway. Muffled yelling and stomping. It sounded like someone was in a struggle but it soon went silent. My friends who, as you know, had a perimeter set up at the time and were the first responders. The first place they checked was your apartment. There was no one inside."
Connie paused and looked at Eren. He was leaned back in the chair with a hand over his mouth and his eyes averted from Connie. He looked like he was about to cry... or puke... maybe both.
"There is a bright side to this though. Even though the kidnapper and Levi weren't at the building or surrounding areas, when we interrogated a few witnesses and got a report of someone speeding off in a black car towards the outskirts of Shiganshina. Once we get permission from the chief, we're going searching for him."
Eren still wasn't talking to him and it was worrying him.
"We'll find him, Eren. Don't worry."
"How can I not worry about this? About him, Connie?" Eren licked his lips. "What if... what if he's dead?"
"Don't say that!"
"I should've been there! I should've fucking been there!"
"You had to work! You couldn't just skip that just to stay with him, protecting him like he's some kind of injured puppy!"
"Shut up! You don't fucking understand!"
Connie narrowed his eyes. "No, I don't understand and maybe I never will. But do you think yelling and bitching about how you could have prevented his kidnapping will do anything about it? No, it won't. All we can do now is hope."
Eren shook his head. "I'm not going to sit around and just 'hope' things will be okay. I can't just sit here and 'hope' he's still alive!"
"Well what else can you do?! And don't you dare think about going on your own to look for him."
"You can't fucking stop me Connie. I can't wait for you guys to act on it. It may be too late by then."
Connie sighed and rubbed his temples. "Yeah, I can't stop you. But I'm not gonna let a friend of mine walk straight into danger."
"I don't give a shit what happens to myself, so long as I know Levi is okay."
Eren stood up and made to leave the room. Bertholdt looked at Connie.
"Let him leave."
Bertholdt nodded and stepped from in front of the door.
Eren put a hand on the handle and was about to turn it when Connie spoke.
"For the record Eren, just because I, or most people here, don't have the kind of special relationship you have doesn't mean we don't know what love is."
Eren paused then turned the handle. He walked through the police station at a fast pace, pushing people away and keeping his eyes directed to the ground. He wanted to get back home.

Eren stripped himself of his clothes as he walked to the bedroom. He collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling. Not once did Levi leave his thoughts.
'Levi... I'm so sorry. I should've been here to protect you... I always said if I let something happen to you I'd never forgive myself. I don't know where you are... I don't know if you're cold, hurt, sad... I love you, more than anything and I can't believe I let someone I love slip away from me, again. Please forgive me...' Eren closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
'But I swear, when I find you, ill personally kill the bastard who dared to lay his hands on you.'

"Nh... nngh... Shit."
Levi groaned as he sat up from his place on an uncomfortable cot on the far side of the cell he was in. He looked around and noticed he was in the same place he was in in his nightmare. Torches barely providing and light for him to survey the area.
"Damn. Where the hell am I?"
"The Underground."
The neko jumped when he heard a man speak to him from outside the bars. The disembodied voice finally revealed itself when Erwin Smith stepped out from the shadows. He wore a smirk as he looked at Levi's suddenly frightened state.
"Yes, Levi. It is me. I bet you never thought you'd be seeing me again." Erwin chuckled.
Levi gulped as he heard the low sound reverberate throughout the dungeon. He had to play it cool. Being afraid is what Erwin would want.
"No, can't say I have." His voice was obviously shaky.
"Well, here I am." Erwin held his arms out on either side of himself in a presenting gesture.
"Tch. Just as arrogant as I remember."
"At least you remember. I don't see why you're not happy." Erwin grinned.
"Being kidnapped can make a person pretty pissed off, you know?"
"That or extremely afraid."
Levi raised a brow.
"Come on Levi. You don't have to act like you're not frightened."
Levi swallowed "I'm not scared of you."
"Are you sure about that?"
Erwin pulled a set of keys from his pocket and unlocked the cell door. He walked in and closed the door behind himself. He walked to Levi slowly. The neko froze when the man got close and reached out to him. He flinched away when Erwin touched one of his cat ears. The man smirked and grabbed Levi's arm in a vice grip. Levi gasped when Erwin pulled him up and pressed his front flush to Levi's back.
"You missed me, didn't you?" Erwin breathed into the cat ear.
"N-no..." Levi grit his teeth as the taller man ran a hand down his chest to his stomach.
"I can remember when we made love Levi. I remember the night you let me take your virginity. Do you remember as well?" Erwin grabbed the neko's crotch and squeezed.
Levi bit his lip and desperately tried to keep from getting an erection from the man's touch. "S-stop… saying that…"
"What a night it was." Erwin chuckled. "But after that, things went downhill, yes?"
The blonde ground his own crotch into Levi's ass. The shorter man grunted when Erwin tightened his grip and stroked him through his pants. He was undeniably hard, as shameful as it was.
"You had to be a curious little shit and discover what I'd been hiding. You escaped from me." Erwin was suddenly angry. He reached into the sweats Levi was wearing and gripped the neko's cock painfully. Levi cried out.
"But now I have you back." Erwin grinned. "Thanks to Mike, for finding you for me. You know, I had to punish him and Hanji for helping you but I forgave them. They learned their lesson indeed." he stroked the hybrid gently.
"O-only because, nngh, they don't know what the f-fuck they're doing."
"True. I did drug them but they mostly do my bidding willingly now."
"Because you fucking scared them!" Levi had to struggle to speak when Erwin ground his thumb into the head of his member.
"Scare tactics prove to be quite effective."
Erwin stroked Levi's cock faster and ground his own into Levi's ass. Levi threw his head back and desperately held in a moan as he came into the hand of his captor. He fell onto the cot when Erwin let go of him.
Erwin smirked and licked away the cum on his hand. He exited the cell and locked the cage.
"I'll have Mike take care of my problem. You rest for now. You'll need it for what we're going to do tomorrow."
Erwin turned away and made to leave the basement but paused in front of the stairs. "By the way, did my touch feel similar to Eren's?"
Levi's eyes widened when he heard his lover's name.
'Eren...'
Erwin smiled and walked up the stairs and out of the basement. He closed the door and Levi heard it lock.
He laid on his side in the cot and curled up in a fetal position.
'Eren... He probably knows I'm gone by now. I wonder if he's worried...?'
Of course he is. Eren would be worried even if nothing was wrong with him... as ridiculous as that is.
Would Eren try to find him? Would he get help?
Would he ever see the man he so dearly loved and needed ever again?
