Summary
     As a child, Eren was told about the wolves living in the forest near
     Shiganshina by his mom. He never believed that they were there, nor
     did he believe that they were an issue, especially after bandits took
     the life of his mom. He swore to keep his village protected from the
     bandits that wiped out almost all of the adults. Fast forward a few
     years, and Eren is now 16. He has to go to a neighboring city called
     Trost, for extra supplies for his village. On his way he is attacked
     by bandits and almost dies. Luckily, Eren is saved by an incredibly
     handsome man named Levi and a few of his friends. The only downside
     is that Levi and his friend's all have wolf ears. These wolves
     weren't anything like his mom said they were.
Notes
     Hey guys! This is my first fic, so I hope it's not too bad. Please
     tell me what you think of it if you want to. There's going to be
     semi-graphic violence in this chapter, but that's about it. Thank
     you, and please enjoy!
***** Lost in the Woods *****
Once upon a time there lived a boy named Eren Jeager with supple olive skin and
ocean eyes. He lived with his adopted sister, Mikasa Ackerman, and best friend,
Armin Arlert, after his mom was killed by bandits. He did have a father, but he
disappeared shortly after his mother’s death. The three of them stayed with
Armin’s grandfather until he passed away a year later. While they had a tragic
childhood, life was good for the boy. He lived in an isolated forest town
called Shiganshina with very few people in it. Despite this Eren had made
friends with almost all of the villagers. It helped that somehow almost all of
the villagers were around his age, and there were barely any adults due to the
raid of bandits that had come through at the same time his mother died.
 
The only worry that the boy had was the bandits that sometimes roamed the
forest in search for fortune or people to sell. Eren became the only one to go
on trips alone for supplies in neighboring towns. Most of the time the
villagers would go in large groups, but when it was necessary Eren went alone.
Some of his friends had dubbed him “Suicidal Maniac” because of this. As a
child, his mother was more worried about wolves in the forest than the bandits.
Eren hadn’t ever seen a wolf in this part of the forest, so he had little fear
for them. Mikasa on the other hand worried about everything that could hurt
Eren. Especially when Eren had to go on long trips. Like the trip Eren was
going on now...
===============================================================================
 
“Mikasa, why are you making me bring these things?? It’s just a small trip,”
Eren whined, holding a large hunting knife and a forest green cape against his
chest.
 
Mikasa rolled her eyes, “Eren. You don’t know what you could encounter on your
way to Trost. There could be bandits or wolves, and you need to protect
yourself. The cape is so that you’re harder to spot. You know I won’t be able
to go because I have to tend the farm, so I just wanted to make you as safe as
possible.”
 
Eren glanced over at Armin before sighing and nodding. Sometimes it was better
to just go along with what Mikasa said rather than to argue against it. She was
right about there being bandits. If he saw one, he wanted to be prepared to
avenge his mother’s death and protect himself. Those types of people shouldn’t
be allowed to live. They didn’t deserve to be happy while taking away the lives
of other people. They were as good as monsters.
 
Before Eren could go any deeper into his internal monologue about avenging his
mother, he felt a clap on his shoulder. Eren turned and saw that it was Jean,
and immediately scowled.
 
“What do you want, Horse Face?” Eren asked with a glare.
 
“What did you just call me, asshole?!” Jean said with a fist in the air, ready
to punch the offending boy.
 
“You heard me, you dick!” Eren yelled back, stepping closer to Jean with every
heavy breath he took.
 
“Jean, Eren’s about to leave. Please don’t fight right now,” Armin pleaded
looking at Jean with his big blue eyes.
 
Eren’s eye twitched as Jean nodded and stepped back towards Armin. Recently
there had been something fishy going on between Armin and Jean, and he didn’t
like it. It was more that Armin wasn’t telling him about it that he didn’t
like. The way that Armin blushed whenever Jean walked toward him further proved
that there was something happening between the two. It didn’t really matter to
him what was going on between the two as long as they were happy. Though it was
nice that Armin seemed to have Jean wrapped around his finger. He was curious,
but Eren would only pry into it if Armin brought it up himself or if he
accidentally saw something. That thought made Eren shiver in disgust.
 
“Eren are you listening? Remember to be safe and to stay on the path,” he heard
Mikasa say protectively, bringing him back from his disturbing thoughts.
 
“Don’t worry Mikasa, I’ll be safe. I should be back in a day or two. If there’s
any trouble I’ll be back sooner,” with that Eren wrapped his cape around his
shoulders and put his knife in his belt. He gave both Armin and Mikasa a hug
with a special glare reserved for Jean. He checked his horse over, making sure
he had food and extra blankets in case it got cold. With one final look at
everyone, he jumped onto his horse and rode off.
 
Riding was always a joy for Eren. It always had felt very freeing and allowed
him to sit on his thoughts. Today was a nice day, Eren thought while looking up
at the blue skies above. It was much too hot for him to be wearing what he was,
but Mikasa wanted him to stay safe, so he decided just to wear it. There was
nothing particularly interesting happening in the path ahead of him, so he
found himself looking off into the forest. He noticed there were some flowers
on the sides of the trail that he would collect on his way home as a surprise
to Mikasa. He figured that would make her feel better about going alone to
Trost. With that thought in his head, he made his horse pick up speed.
 
A few hours later, Eren decided it was time to set up camp. The sun was already
setting, and it would be more dangerous to keep traveling as it was. He
traveled off of the path in order to find a better place to camp, forgetting
what Mikasa had told him. Eren figured that staying on the road would lead to
more dangers, so he strayed further into the woods. When he found a small
clearing, Eren got off of his horse and tied it to a tree. He walked around
checking to see if it was safe to set up camp. Once he cleared it, he started a
small fire next to where his horse was. Eren sat up next to a tree, stripping
himself of his cloak. Despite it being night, it was still hot because it was
in the middle of summer, so he felt no need to keep it on. He would’ve taken
his shirt off, but he decided against it so that he could easily leave if he
had to. Eren pulled out his canteen of water and took a big gulp of it before
eating the piece of bread that Sasha had made for him earlier that day.
 
After Eren finished eating, his eyes began to shut due to his exhaust of his
day. His eyes shot open when he heard the ground around him crunch. His horse
jumped a little, and Eren put his hand on it’s back to calm it. As he was
calming his horse, he kneeled to the ground and grabbed his hunting knife. He
held himself in place for a few minutes before he heard another noise. Jumping
up, he prepared himself for a fight. At first no one came out towards Eren, but
just as Eren turned his head three men came out in front of him, each with
different weapons. Eren got himself into the fighting stance that his neighbor,
Annie, had taught him. Eren was prepared for a fight when he was forcefully
pulled back into the chest of a bandit that had snuck up behind him. That thief
held Eren’s arms together with one arm while putting his other hand over Eren’s
mouth. Eren could feel that the bandit that was holding him was stronger than
he was.
 
“Oh, look at what we have ‘ere. A pretty little boy. How much do you think that
we can get for ‘im?” The one holding him asked, licking up Eren’s ear.
 
Eren flinched away and began to struggle, he didn’t care about his stuff, he
just cared about getting out of there safe. Mikasa was going to kill him for
straying off of the path and getting himself into this situation. He was sure
that if he died, she would somehow find a way to bring him back just to kill
him again. Eren looked down at his stomach as one of the other bandits traced
up his stomach while leering at him. God this was humiliating, Eren thought to
himself. He tried to move his arms again, but found that there was no way he
could even move them. Eren had to think of a way to get out of the situation,
and as soon as he was out of their grasp, Eren was going to kill them all. He
wouldn’t become some play thing for the bandits.
 
The bandit that had his hand on Eren’s stomach slowly moved the shirt, showing
more and more of Eren’s skin. He pressed his palm into Eren’s chest and
smirked.
 
“We could get a good price for ‘im, bring ‘im with us. Let ‘is horse go too,”
the bandit with his arm up Eren’s shirt said.
 
Eren watched as his horse was set free in horror. He had no idea how he was
going to get out of this now, if he tried to run off he would get caught
instantly and the consequences would be way worse. He watched as the bandit who
was touching him turned around with the other bandits. Eren quickly looked to
make sure no one in front of him was paying attention before he looked up at
the bandit who had him. He opened his mouth quickly and bit down hard on the
man’s hand. The hand immediately dropped as he tore a piece of flesh off of it.
The man screamed in agony, letting Eren go to nurse his hand. The other bandits
looked up at the loud scream and quickly grabbed their weapons.
 
“You bitch! We’ll fuckin’ kill you!” The bandit who had been touching him
yelled, pointing his knife towards Eren. Eren glared at the man, picking up his
fallen knife and running towards the man. He avoided the man’s knife and
stabbed into the bandit’s stomach before pulling his knife sideways across it
to gut him. The man coughed out blood and fell to the ground with his hands
holding his stomach.
 
“Boss!” One of the other bandits yelled, running towards Eren. Eren prepared
himself to attack, but was quickly grabbed by the bandit that he had bit. Eren
struggled and tried to kick the legs out from under the bandit, but failed. He
panicked as the other bandit got closer to him and ran his knife through Eren’s
stomach. At the impact of the knife, Eren cried out and coughed up blood. Once
he was incapacitated, the bandits dropped him to the floor and began to kick
him. They busted his lip open and broke his ribs.Tears streaked down Eren’s
face as he called out for help. He could feel the wounds on him getting worse
and worse. There was blood pouring from his mouth and he could feel that his
ribs were poking against his lungs. He unconsciously knew  was going to die the
same way that his mother had. He was beginning to lose consciousness, but he
still tried to stand up. He didn’t want to die. He still had to avenge his
mother and make more memories with his family. His struggle to stand up was met
with a hard kick to the jaw that sent him flying back to the ground with a
whimper.
 
“Look at this bitch. A fuckin’ wimp I tell ya,” one of the bandits yelled while
spitting at him. He grabbed Eren’s hair, and pulled him to his eye level. He
punched Eren near the place where he had been stabbed. Eren gazed hazily into
the background as the men continued to assault him. The last thing he saw
before he passed out was a fast black shadow, and the throat of one of the men
being torn out.
***** Saving a Life *****
Chapter Summary
     Levi happens to hear a certain someone being beaten up and he goes to
     save the day.
Chapter Notes
     I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. I'm sick at home, so I've been
     writing a lot. There will be some violence towards the beginning, but
     that's about it.
     Also, Levi can heal other people. Sorry if it seems weird!!
Levi woke with a start. He was in the middle of a dreamless sleep when he heard
an ear piercing screech that had him shooting right out of his makeshift bed.
Levi’s blood was pumping, it had sounded like an animal who was about to get
eaten by a pack of wolves, but he knew better. It was very obviously a human
cry for help. Levi was never one to mettle in human affairs because humans were
simply dangerous to his species. They thought of wolves as monsters who
deserved to be chopped down, and that’s why most of his population was
dwindling. Levi found it to be quite ironic that humans thought of Levi’s kind
as a threat, when they were the ones who were constantly at war with each
other. There was another moan for help that interrupted Levi’s thoughts and his
ears began to twitch in the direction of the sound before he found himself
ready to jump into action.
 
While on his way out of the cave that he and his companions had sought refugee
in, Levi noticed that both of them were still sleeping soundly. Levi’s eyebrow
twitched thinking about how it must be nice to sleep through the racket that
was being made outside. He continued on towards the outside of the cave,
listening for another whimper of distress. His ears twitched in the wind,
trying to locate where the original sound came from, and once he’d found it, he
was off. He ran at his top speed trying to get to the scene as quick as
possible so that he could assess the damage before fighting. Levi could tell
when he got near the scene because he heard punching and some laughing coming
from the perpetrators. He could also smell the thick scent of blood pouring
from the victim. That was enough for Levi to slowly creep into the scene, and
before he knew what he was doing, Levi was creeping up to the man who was
holding the poor boy.
 
He quickly grabbed the man by his jugular and tore it straight off, throwing it
off into some distant area. Blood flew everywhere and Levi grimaced in disgust.
That was messier than he intended it to be, he was seriously going to need a
good bath after all of this was over. Levi watched with steal eyes as the other
two bandits looked at him and started to back up in horror. One of them fell
over a dead body while trying to backup, and it gave Levi the perfect
opportunity to pick him up by his collar and throw him against a nearby tree
with little effort. The man screamed in agony as his back broke due to the
sheer amount of force that Levi had used. Levi looked at the other man who was
trying to run away when he noticing that the man was missing some of the flesh
off of his hand. Levi growled at the sight, knowing that the beaten boy had
tried to fight back, and sprinted after the man. Levi grabbed the man by his
head and listened to him scream before tearing the head straight off and
letting it fall to the ground.
 
As if he had just remembered there was still one more, Levi stalked back to the
camp sight and watched as the last bandits eyes widened.
 
“Please. Please don’t kill me. I ain’t done nothin’. I swear!!” The bandit
yelled, pleading for his life.
 
Levi looked impassively as the man before grabbing his hair and staring him
down. While the man began to struggle as much as he could with a broken back,
Levi wrapped both of his hands around the man’s head and snapped his neck with
a satisfying crunch. After Levi finished his killing spree, he looked over at
the boy on the floor. Levi could tell the boy was still alive, but he wouldn’t
be for much longer if he didn‘t get help. He kneeled and looked over the boy,
assessing the damage that was done and seeing all that he was going to have to
heal. He was glad the bandits were stupid enough to actually leave the knife in
the kid. That’s probably what was keeping him alive right now. With a sigh,
Levi placed his hand on the kid’s swollen cheek, noticing that the kid had a
pretty cute face, before he grabbed the knife and yanked it out of him. The kid
immediately woke up, letting out a yelp of pain, and started to squirm in
agony.
 
“Oi, brat. If you want to get fixed then you need to stay still. You’ll die if
you keep moving like that,” Levi said emotionlessly all while watching the boys
reaction towards him. Levi was slightly impressed that the boy hadn’t begged
Levi not to kill him yet. That’s what most humans did.
 
“Wh...who are you?” The kid asked with tears in his eyes and his palm over the
stab wound, blood running between the cracks of his fingers. Levi could tell
the kid was trying not to cough up any more blood than what had already been
lost.
 
“Levi. Levi is my name, and I just saved your ass. Now let me heal you before
you die, shitty brat,” Levi said, hoping that he hadn’t scared the kid off any
further. He really needed to work on how he approached people, especially
people like this brat.
 
He watched as the kid debated with himself before nodding over to Levi. Levi
carefully walked over to him, making sure that he didn’t scare away the already
traumatized boy, and then sat down right next to him. The boy looked weary and
his olive skin was turning the color of Levi’s pale tone. Levi put a hand next
to the wound on the boy’s stomach and noticed how hot the skin was to touch.
This kid was burning up!
 
“What I’m about to do might seem weird, but it’ll save you. Grab onto the grass
because this is going to hurt like a bitch,” Levi said before lifting the boy’s
shirt and letting his mouth fall onto the stab wound.
 
The boy screamed in anguish because his cut felt like there was a hot fire
inside of it. He kicked around and tore the grass beneath him up. He was
sobbing and squirming, and it took everything in Levi’s power to keep on
healing. Levi could taste the coppery blood in his mouth, and usually he would
be disgusted with this situation, but he couldn’t bring himself to be with the
boy he was healing. It was strange. The wound appeared to be deep, and the boy
was lucky that Levi had come along because even if he had gotten help, he
would’ve died due to internal injury. Levi could tell when the wound was almost
done because the boy had stopped screaming and now was just gasping for air.
With one final swipe of his tongue, Levi looked up and at the boy. He really
was quite beautiful, even when his face was bruised and bloodied.
 
“Are you feeling any better?’ Levi asked while crossing his arms over his
chest. He watched as the boy nodded and looked down at his stomach.
 
“How did you do that?” The boy asked while holding the area that had been
wounded.
 
“To put it simply, my people’s saliva has a special healing ability in it. We
are able to heal deep cuts, stabs, and burns, but we are not able to heal
bruises or broken bones,” Levi explained, watching the boy’s reaction to what
he was saying.
 
“I… Thank you. My name is Eren. My mom used to tell me stories of wolves
roaming in our forests, and I never believed her. I guess I got proven wrong,”
Eren said while holding out a hand to Levi. Levi gently took it and gave it a
soft shake. Levi noticed how soft Eren’s hands were despite them being dirty
from the ground and cuts that he had.
 
“You’re welcome brat. Do you want me to help you heal anymore? You have a few
more cuts and it’ll probably hurt less because they aren’t as deep,” Levi said,
looking at a few cuts on Eren’s face and arms.
 
“Yeah, I would really appreciate if you did the one’s on my face. My sister
would kill me if she saw them. I can probably hide the ones on my arms,” Eren
said while looking at Levi’s silver eyes.
 
Levi nodded and scooted closer to where Eren was sitting. He watched as Eren’s
face got slightly more red as he brought his face closer. Levi could feel
Eren’s breath on him and he was sure Eren could feel the same. Levi looked into
Eren’s eyes. He had never seen anyone who had such beautiful eyes. Levi moved
to lick Eren’s cheek and he could tell he was right about it hurting less
because all Eren did was suck in a little bit of air. As Levi continued his
licking, he noticed that there was still one more big cut on Eren’s lip. He
stopped what he was doing and backed away from Eren’s face.
 
“Eren,” Levi said and he watched as Eren focused back on Levi with glossy eyes
and a heavy blush on his cheeks.
 
“Yes?” Eren replied with a slight crack in his voice.
 
“The last cut on your face is on your lips. If it makes you uncomfortable, I
won’t heal it,” Levi said with a calm voice, trying to be considerate. For some
reason, he was hoping that Eren would agree to let him heal his lips. Levi
watched Eren’s eyes widen while he pressed his fingers into his lips.
 
“Umm… you can go ahead,” Eren said while looking at his palms. His whole face
had turned bright red, and Levi couldn’t help think that Eren’s expression was
incredibly adorable. Levi put a hand on Eren’s rosy cheek and ran his tongue
along Eren’s bottom lip. Levi couldn’t believe that this was actually
happening. There was no way that he would’ve done this for a normal person, not
to mention some brat he just met, so why was he doing this for Eren?
While Levi was licking Eren’s lip, he didn’t notice how Eren was slowly getting
aroused. He had never done this with anyone in his 16 years of life. He was
looking at Levi with half-lidded eyes and was slowly bringing his hand up to
grasp Levi’s shirt. Eren couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper when Levi
finished healing is lip, wishing for more contact. When Eren had made that
noise, Levi couldn’t help but feel a slight pressure in his stomach.
 
“Ah, I’m sorry. I don’t know what that was,” Eren said with a scarlet face. His
heart was pounding, and as much as he was embarrassed, he wondered what it
would feel like to have Levi kiss him. To have Levi devour him. As soon as that
thought came into his head, he looked away in shock. He could not be thinking
those things about a man he just met.
 
Levi let out a small cough before responding.
 
“It’s okay. Do you need help up?” Levi asked while beginning to stand up,
hoping that Eren wasn’t paying attention to him. Eren shook his head and tried
to push himself to stand by himself. Levi had just turned away from Eren when
he heard a loud gasp and saw that Eren was bent over and holding onto his ribs.
As soon as he saw that, Levi put himself under Eren’s arm to help him stand.
 
“I… I think that my ribs are broken,” Eren said while trying to balance himself
and catch his breath.
 
Levi looked around them, noticing that the sun was starting to rise, which
meant that his companions would be up soon. He clicked his tongue and looked up
at Eren’s pained expression. One of his companions wouldn’t be very happy with
Levi bringing an outsider with him, but it’s what he had to do to help Eren.
 
“Eren, if you want, I can bring you to where I’m staying, bandage you up, and
then my companions and I can escort you home,” Levi said, secretly hoping Eren
would agree. Eren appeared to think about it before nodding his head.
 
“I would really like that Levi, thank you for all that you have done for me.
You’re truly different than I was told,” Eren said with a kind smile directed
towards Levi. He could’ve sworn he saw Levi blush a little before he was being
pulled to walk.
 
“You’re welcome, brat. Humans are also different than what I thought,” Levi
said quietly while looking ahead towards the sunrise. He hoped that his
companions would stay calm when he and Eren got there.
***** Cave Play *****
Chapter Summary
     Levi and Eren go back to the cave Levi was staying at. They discuss
     plans as Levi bandages him up.
Chapter Notes
     Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. This week has been
     super stressful for me with school and my personal life as well. I
     should be updating once a week, maybe more depending on if I get a
     break from school. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
As Eren and Levi walked, Eren peered down at the man holding him up. He was a
few inches shorter than Eren, but looked awfully built. Levi also seemed to
have a face of disinterest almost permanently, besides the small blush that he
had afforded Eren earlier. Levi really was devilishly handsome. He had a strong
jawline and skin that looked smooth from the parts that he could see. His face
had amazing proportions and his eyes held a sharpness that didn’t make it to
the rest of his face. His hair looked so soft, so much so that Eren thought it
would be nice to touch. Eren really wasn’t all that bothered by the fact that
Levi had ears on his head. They were actually kind of cute and they made Eren
want to touch them. He wondered what Levi would do if Eren actually touched
them. Maybe he would try to later on if he ever got the chance. Eren continued
to contemplate Levi until they abruptly stopped.
“Oi, Brat. We’re here,” Levi said with a knowing smirk. It was almost as if he
knew what Eren had been doing.
Eren blushed lightly and gave Levi a sheepish grin before looking up to see the
opening of a cave. It didn’t appear to be too big of a cave from the outside,
just big enough for two, maybe three, people to fit into. At that thought, Eren
began to wonder who else lived with Levi and if Levi had a girlfriend or a
boyfriend. That thought made Eren’s heart drop with some type of jealousy that
he hadn’t felt before. Before Eren could continue to think like that, Levi
pulled him into the cave.
“Levi! You’re back!!! And you’ve brought a human with you,” a girl with glasses
shrieked in excitement, coming as close as she could to study Eren before she
got yanked away by Levi.
“Calm the fuck down, shitty glasses. This is Eren, he has some broken ribs that
we need to bind up, so don’t be rough with him. Where’s Erwin?” Levi asked
impassively, glancing over at a nervous looking Eren.
“Erwin just went on a run, Levi. He’ll be back soon. You’re lucky that I have
supplies for your wound Eren. My name is Hanji by the way, Levi and I have been
friends for as long as I can remember,” Hanji said wildly while grabbing Eren
and dragging him away from an annoyed looking Levi.
Once she sat Eren down on a makeshift seat made of leaves, she went off to
gather medical supplies. Eren watched her zoom around the room, too distracted
to notice that Levi was making his way over to sit next to him. When Levi
plopped himself down next to Eren, Eren made a cute little squeal and looked
over at Levi. Levi could only smirk.
“You’re going to need something to grab onto while she binds you, so I thought
I’d come over and help,” Levi said while looking over Eren’s relaxed face.
“Thank you, Levi. You really have done so much for me, especially when you
didn’t need to. Is there anything I can do to pay you back?” Eren asked
innocently, truly thankful for all that Levi had done for him in the past five
or so hours.
Levi appeared to think about what Eren had said before shaking his head, “You
have no reason to pay me back, Brat. I was doing it because I felt like doing
it.”
Eren gave him a warm smile and nodded. Eren opened his mouth to ask something,
but before he could, Hanji was back with all of the medical supplies that Eren
was going to need.
“Eren, this might hurt, but we’re going to need you to take your shirt off,”
Hanji said with a smile, trying to make this as relaxing as she could for Eren.
Eren looked down at his shirt before letting himself shyly glance at Levi. He
nodded and began to pull his shirt up. Right as he started, Eren dropped the
shirt with a hiss. Moving his chest hurt his broken ribs more than he thought
it would. Just before Eren was going to voice his complaint, Levi was kneeling
over him, and holding the bottom of his shirt.
“Lift your arms, brat. I’ll help you take your shirt off,” Levi said while
watching Eren gradually grow more red.
Levi slowly brought his hands to the bottom of Eren’s shirt. He watched Eren
trying to avoid looking Levi directly in the eye while his face was the color
of a rose. While Levi was having fun teasing the kid, he didn’t want to
embarrass Eren too much, so he made sure to be as fast, but mindful of Eren’s
wounds too. When Levi finally pulled Eren’s shirt off and out of the way, he
let himself glance down at Eren’s bruised abs and chest. He was pretty ripped
for a teenager, Levi thought with a slight lick to lips. When he looked back at
Eren’s face, he noticed that Eren was looking at him expectantly, as if he was
waiting for Levi to say something.
“Not bad,” Levi said with a glint in his eyes.
Eren blushed severly and averted his eyes while mumbling a “thank you” to Levi.
The whole time that this interaction was occuring, Hanji was watching with a
smirk on her face. She knew that there was an attraction, and she was honestly
very happy for Levi. She hadn’t seen him like this with anyone else, male or
female, in the years that they had been together. Hanji was definitely going to
talk to Erwin about this, but for now some teasing needed to be done.
“Awww! Eren are you embarrassed?? Levi can take his shirt off too before we
start if it’ll help,” Hanji said obnoxiously, watching as Levi threw a glare
that could stop a man three times his size at her.
Eren blushed deeper, looking between Levi and Hanji. He did want to see what
Levi looked like under his shirt, but he also didn’t want to make Levi
uncomfortable. As he thought about that, he shook his head. It was slightly
disappointing to do that, and Eren wondered if he would get another chance to
see Levi like that. He really hoped so. He didn’t really understand why he was
thinking these things about Levi, but his thoughts didn’t really bother him.
Maybe that made him weird, but Eren didn’t really care. It wasn’t like he was
doing anything wrong by thinking these thoughts anyways.
“Nonsense Eren! Levi will do it, won’t you Levi?” Hanji asked with a huge smile
on her face, roughly patting Levi on the back.
Levi glared at Hanji before sighing and lifting his shirt over his head. He
guessed he could do it to make Eren more comfortable. Eren watched as Levi’s
chiseled abs were put on display. He knew that Levi had to be muscular, but
Levi looked like he had been sculpted in the form of the Greek gods. His chest
looked so smooth and he could see every crevice of Levi’s torso. Just looking
at Levi’s abs made Eren drool, but as Eren’s eyes traveled lower, he noticed
how low Levi’s pants were hanging. When he noticed that the v of Levi’s hips
were showing dangerously low, Eren couldn't help shiver slightly. What Eren
would do to run his hands down them. He was getting painfully hard at just the
thought of that. Before Eren could continue his fawning over Levi, he was
interrupted by Hanji getting up.
“It seems like Erwin’s back!! I’ll go explain the situation to him!! I’m sure
Levi would love to get his hands on you anyways, so here,” Hanji said before
throwing the ointment and wrap over to a pissed off looking Levi and giving a
wink to an embarrassed Eren.
Levi and Eren watched as Hanji ran off to the front of the cave as an escape,
leaving the two behind in silence. Eren peered over at the older man, watching
his stoic expression with intent. He hoped that Hanji hadn’t accidentally made
Levi dislike him or feel negative thoughts about him. Eren really wanted Levi
to like him, and he couldn’t do that if Levi thought he was disgusting.
Clearing his throat in the awkward silence, Eren watched as Levi looked over
towards him.
“Levi, you … you don’t have to do this for me if you don’t want to. I’m sure I
can figure it out somehow,” Eren stuttered, secretly hoping that Levi would do
it.
Eren sat nervously, looking at Levi for a second before Levi moved, set the
bandages down, and opened the ointment. Eren let out an audible gulp as Levi
dipped his fingers into the clear medicine and rubbed it between his hands to
warm it up. This was really happening, was all Eren could think. He couldn’t
believe that Levi was actually going to be touching him while they were sitting
there without shirts on. Honestly, the situation was altogether embarrassing
and it was unbelievable that he was even in it. When Levi first brought his
hand to Eren’s chest, Eren gasped. Levi’s hands were warm, and the gel on them
made them feel incredibly soft. He had only ever been touched like this by his
mother, who when he got sick, would smear mint lotion on his chest to help the
coughing. The feeling was nostalgic and it made Eren smile. This was really
nice, he thought.
“I want you to know, Eren. I wouldn’t usually do this for anyone,” Levi said,
looking at Eren with dark eyes.
Eren’s blush darkened and he looked around the room to avoid looking into
Levi’s eyes. The fact that Levi admitted to that made Eren’s heartbeat in
happiness. Levi’s eyes held some heaviness that Eren didn’t know if could
handle at the moment because he felt like he could explode. Eren let himself
sit like that for some time, avoiding Levi’s gaze. The man was treating Eren
very gently with his hands. He made sure never to apply too much pressure onto
his broken ribs while he was massaging into Eren’s skin. After the silence
began to make Eren fidget, he decided to start some conversation.
“So, why’re you staying here, Levi?” Eren asked, now fully looking at Levi.
“We just haven’t had a place to stay in awhile. We’ve gone here and there, but
we never found a place where we could settle down without humans getting in the
way,” Levi said dully, still concentrating on rubbing the remainder of the gel
on Eren.
Eren’s eyes widened as he realized it was the perfect opportunity to pay Levi
back for all he had done for him.
Before he could stop himself and think what he was about to say through, Eren
spoke. “If you wanted, when you take me to my village, you could stay there
with me. You, Hanji, and Erwin I mean. My people would gladly take you guys in,
and I could make sure that they were kind as well. The only one that might have
an issue is Mikasa, but she’s well, I’ll take care of her. You could stay for
as long as you wanted.”
By the end of his suggestion, Eren was extremely nervous. He had no idea if
Levi would even want to consider staying with him. They had just met a few
hours ago and Levi had no reason to believe that Eren was as trustworthy as he
says. Eren knew that humans had hurt Levi before, and the thought of going into
a village full of them must be horrid for Levi. Despite that, he really wanted
Levi to say yes, Eren wanted to get closer to him and learn about how their two
worlds were different and the same. He wanted to pay Levi back for everything
that he had done. But most of all, having Levi around was the most enjoyable
thing that he could remember having since his mom died, in spite of the fact
that Eren was injured right now.
As if Levi could sense Eren’s inner torment, he grabbed Eren’s hand and spoke
with a small smile, “Eren, I would love to come back with you. No one has ever
offered something that big to me before. Thank you for that.”
Eren stared at Levi with wide eyes. He had just seen Levi smile, and god if it
wasn’t the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, he didn’t know what was.
Levi’s smile was like watching the orange fade into purple when the sun was
setting. What was just as amazing, was that Levi was actually accepting his
offer without a second thought. He hadn’t had that good of news in so long. He
just knew that brining Levi along back to the village was going to end up well
for both of them.
“Well, we can leave as soon as I’m done with this, and I’ve talken to Erwin and
Hanji. If that’s alright with you. I’m sure you’re anxious to be back home with
your friends and family,” Levi said while grabbing the wrap to begin binding
Eren’s ribs.
Eren smiled widely at Levi. They sat in a happy silence as Levi finished
binding up Eren’s ribs. After Levi finished, he helped Eren up and they stayed
like that, looking at each other for what felt like more than a few seconds.
“Levi, I...I would just like to thank you, not only for saving my life, but for
coming to my village with me. It means a lot that you trust me like that even
though humans must have done awful things to you. I promise that I will make
you see that there are good humans as well,” Eren said while looking straight
into Levi’s eyes, sounding more motivated than he ever had.
Levi smirked, watching Eren’s ocean eyes, “Brat, you don’t have to thank me. I
may have saved your life back there, but you’re saving my life right now.”
When Levi said that, Eren blushed brightly. He was happy that he could do
something this big for Levi, and he hadn’t realized that it meant so much to
him. He would definitely try to make Levi feel comfortable in his village, even
if it meant having to treat some of his village members sternly. Eren didn’t
let himself think about how he was doing all of these things for Levi when they
barely knew each other as he and Levi started walking towards the entrance of
the cave.
