An Egyptian Prince: Almost
I don't own AOT the manga or anime if I did Ereri would be a thing and there would be way more butt smex and way less deaths of amazing people.
I promised her I would live for the both of us…
Turning the corner was a mistake. There were two guards walking towards him. Levi froze, his limbs wouldn't move, he couldn't breathe. He was so close, almost free. But almost isn't free. Almost is almost and he didn't get to the gate. Levi tried to run but the guards were on top of him before he got a chance to run. He was numb he barely felt the first lash of the whip hitting his arm, but before the second one he was back in his body. He felt the sting of the harsh leather slicing his skin. He felt the burn and the blood.
The lash marks fell on his left upper arm and back. They were short and deep. The guard brought the whip back ready to strike again.
"Thats enough." A firm voice commanded
The guards looked up and bowed. "Your highness, he was trying to escape. This is the punishment." They stammered
"I don't care, go check on the idiot who let him escape, I'll take care of him." The young man nodded at levi who had passed out from the pain.
The guards bowed their heads and walked off down the corridor from the way levi came. The man looked down at levi and his eyes went soft as he knelt down to wiped a strand of hair away from levis face. He touched levi forehead and sighed, moving so he could pick levi without disturbing him the young man lifted him in his arms bridal style.
"You're safe now, rest easy." The man said as he carried levi off into the hidden world from here he came.
Waking up levi's head spun, all he knew was the pain in his back and arm. They were not the worst marks he ever got but they still were deep and painful. He tried to sit up but a hand gently pushed him down. Levi looked and saw green eyes pinned on him.
"Get away from me." Levi growled grabbing the gold bracelets wrapped around the tan wrist and pushing it away.
Eren moved his hand and stood up without a word. Walking to the door he glanced back, a hurt look on his face that was quickly replaced by a look of nothing. Opening the door he left without another word.
Levi heard the footsteps stops after a few second. Levi watched the open doorway with cold eyes. He could just run, he could be free, he could live. Levi tried to move and had to bite back a yell of pain as the lashes on his back were moved. Levi groaned in annoyance at the fact he couldn't leave. He sank back onto what he was surprised was a bed with pillows. For the first time Levi looked around seeing a beautiful stone room with carvings all over the walls. There were scrolls on the floor, a mirror in the corner, and the bed that he was on was covered in beautiful blankets.
Levi's eyes were wide taking in every little picture on the walls. They were mostly of the gods of the afterlife and the pure journey through to the afterlife. There were some carvings of the Pharaoh and the family tree. There was one of the late queen that looked happy. Eren and Levi lost their moms a few years apart but that's how the first met.
"Come on boy let's go." A guard yelled at levi who was only 13 a the time
"What the fuck do you want with me again!" He screamed charging at the man
The guard laughed and grabbed levi by the neck "If it were up to me you would be dead by now but the prince wants to see the boy who lost his mom, and you better be respectful or I will be killing you, Very slowly." The mans voice dripped with venom and hate twords the young boy .Levi whipped spit off of his face and followed the guard.
Levi was so enchanted by the carvings along the walls he didn't hear the footsteps coming closer.
"Everyone says she was beautiful.' A firm voice said causing levi to jump
Green and grey eyes watched each other. Neither was sure what to do, Levi refused to bow and Eren didn't think it would be smart to move closer.
"Why am I here." Levi demanded moving to stand up.
"Please don't stand up." Eren said worry in his voice "you're here cause you tried to escape and I know my guards enough to know they would've killed you if I had left you with them." He said his eyes trained on the floor.
Levi scoffed "Bull shit, you're nothing but a brat that was born into royalty who has never worked a damn day in his life. So fuck that give me the real reason you saved me from a welcome death."
Eren laughed, his teeth showing and head tilted back. "Levi don't be stupid, I always ask for you, never any of the girl or princesses, I ask for a slave boy by choice." Suddenly Eren's eyes dimmed and his voice got very deep. Within a few steps eren was at Levis side. "Levi you listen what I say and the Pharaoh never has to know what you tried to do today." They gared at each other "So wanna just call it a truce and let me rebandage your lashes?"
Levi opened his mouth to protest then shut it. He nodded gritting his teeth to keep from lashing out at the man who may of saved or ended his life.
