Unbreakable Bond {MoxieDov X RaraHaruko SNK}

[MoxieDov]

He allowed his figure to almost relax under the male's touch, his dark eyes shutting. He breathed in and out steadily, catching a hint of the other's aroma despite the damp fabric that was pressed against his already wet face. Levi's heart-rate had slowed down considerably in the last couple of moments, giving him a chance to push away the colour that almost rose to his cheeks. His arms' grip around the male's neck had loosen, as his mind began to drift off to similar subjects he had been pondering earlier on. The people probably think I'm dead now. Is that good or bad? Why did Reiner willingly go with Annie? Where do I go after we kill them? Do I continue to explore the world or return to the pen we live in? What will happen to the Survey Corps when the commander and his second-in-command are gone? Are they going to continue their studies on the titans without Hange? Questions flooded his mind, causing his eyes to snap open suddenly. Levi stared forward, angling his head so he was able to listen to the other's beating heart.


What will eventually cause my heart to stop beating? Will it be frozen or burnt? Will it be crushed by the jaws of those monsters? Will it be my own stupidity? He blinked slowly at the thoughts running through his head, the subject of death reminding him of something else. ...How is Petra faring now? She must still be arguing with Oluo. What about Gunther and Eld? They'd probably be the ones observing. Hange...She'd be laughing in that annoying way she always does. Levi froze, the mental image of the scene he had just described flashing into his mind. Something almost grasped the inside of his chest tightly at the thought, knowing the he would never be able to witness a situation like that ever again. He breathed in deeply, pushing those thoughts to the back of his mind as he felt fingers angle his face upwards.


Levi stared at the other for a couple of silent moments after he spoke, eyes slightly widening. He bit his bottom lip softly, unable to control the scarlet colour that was finding it's way onto his face. "Of course they are, idiot! Why do you think I kiss you back then?!" He suddenly exclaimed, moving his arms off of the other's shoulders and bringing them to the male's chest. The black haired male lightly pounded on the other's chest with his fists, eyes tightly shut once more as a unfamiliar heat burned across his face."Can't you f****** see that I love you, b******?!" Levi added, continuing his simple action for another couple of seconds before freezing in realisation of what he had just confessed. He clamped his hands around his face, shielding the vivid crimson colour that covered his entire face, his usually emotionless eyes wide with embarrassment and surprise.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren was taken aback by his word choice, and the words that he had murmured. Levi had confessed that his feeling were just as confusing and unbareable as his own. He almost jumped when the corporal began to pound on his chest. Words filled his ears, sending his heart flying at an uncountable rate. He watched as the soldier's cheeks tinted red, hinting a blush. He stared into his wide eyes, his green hues widening as well. The man's cry repeated in his head, making his chest feel tight. "Can't you fucking see that I love you, basterd?!"


Eren grabbed the male by his wrists, pulling his hands away from his crimson face and placing them over his own heart. He made him feel the fast fluttered under his layers. He continued to stare deep into the man's coal-like pupils, his facial expression still showing his complete shock. "Levi..." he breathed, the muscles under his skin loosened as he leaned in, resting his forehead against the other's.


"I love you too." He said, his body losing energy as the sun began to fall, behind the trees, their shadows falling along the freezing water. He grabbed hold of Levi, pulling him out of the current and back onto dry land. He placed the corporal on the soft grass, placing his hands on both sides of his head, his dark hair falling over his face. Water fell from his dripping locks, across the male's cheeks. He leaned into him planting small kisses along his neck. "I'll always love you, unconditionally" he breathed into Levi's ear, and nibbled on his lobe lightly.


((Mwaha!))

 

[MoxieDov]

He remained in the same position for a couple more moments, his heart beating wildly against his ribs. Eyes unblinking as he stared deeply into the clear water, his mind finding it quite a challenge to slow down the beating hidden in his chest and the crimson colour that now tinted his face. Levi gradually tilted his head up to look at the male as his hands were taken away from his face, his eyes remaining wide at the speed of the unsteady thumping beneath his palms. He let out a soft, stuttered version of the other male's name, finding himself unable to form any words without a slight break in his sentences. Levi's hands remained upon the Eren's chest, his breathing having switched into ragged and uneven panting in a matter of moments.


He swore that his heart began to beat even faster when he heard the other's words, as well as the colour upon his face deepen. The redness of his cheeks would irritate him, in a surprisingly pleasant way though. He attempted to gather up his stoic composure, failing miserably at the task. Levi slithered his arms around the male's neck once more as he was lifted, hooking his legs around Eren's torso to prevent his lower half from entering the cold liquid. He threaded his fingers into the other's damp hair, a small noise of surprise escaping his throat as he felt the light pressure of the male's mouth against his flesh. Levi felt like the organ inside his chest was about to burst through his ribs, unaccustomed to the rapid beats. He let out a soft, pleasure-driven noise, fingers lightly tangling themselves in the locks of hazel.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren pressed his body tightly against the dark-haired male's, his fingers trailing over his lips as he breathed against the man's neck. His kisses turning into small bites, lightly nipping at the male's jugular. He enjoyed the way his heart stammered against his mouth, his jugular pumpimg blood through his skin. He thought of his dream, the way Levi's flesh had tasted as he devoured the poor man. He felt heat rise in his cheeks as his desire deepened. He pulled his face away from Levi, concern deepening his brows. He couldn't contain the excitement, and dread, he felt by craving this man's skin. He placed his hand over Levi's mouth, his eyes staring deep into the other's. He tried to find a rational explenation for the horrific, yet tantalizing, images that flashed before his mind. Eren's body shook with antisipation as he filled down again, planting his lips along the male's collarbone.


"You taste, really good." He spoke against his flesh, his eyes darkening. He felt his heart jump as the words fell from his mouth. He released his griping Levi, pulling himself off the male and laying next to him, his eyes pinned on the sky. "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to pull at your heart strings." He breather, his cheeks burning as the flashes of blood rang deep in his thoughts. His face froze in what looked like fear, mixed with concern for the man he loved. "I can't control myself around you." He stated, placing his palms over his eyes to try and shake the grotesque images from behind his eyelids. He groaned loudly, unwillingly tears spouted from his eyes. He turned his head away, making sure the male couldn't see his pathetic tears. He stifled a yelp of sadness, trying to control his strange unsetteling hunger.

 

[MoxieDov]

His lungs inhaled in short, hushed breathes of oxygen, somewhat finding his previous breathing speed insufficient of providing him enough air. The sensation of being bitten was strange, as he had never experienced something like that before, though was remarkably pleasing. His fingers had started to unintentionally tug at the brown strands of hair, requiring to occupy himself in some way. His eyes had slowly slid closed, the gradually darkening sky assisting him in hiding most of the red upon his face. Levi parted his eyes to glance at the other as he felt a warm hand clasp around the lower part of his face. He tilted his head to the side by a couple of centimetres, the heat that had settled upon his cheeks beginning to slowly die down. He moved his hand away from the other's hair, about to remove Eren's hand from his face to ask a question. He felt his sudden out-take of his breathe stagger as the moist lips pressed against his skin once more, his arm limply falling upon the other's shoulder.


Levi's hooded eyes suddenly enlarged, unsure if he should take the statement as a compliment or a threat of some kind. He allowed his mind to promptly erase the colour from his cheeks, though his breathe took a couple of seconds to return back to it's usual steadiness. He shuffled back from the river side, though stayed close by Eren's side as he did so. Levi gazed at him, an almost caring expression in his eyes, as well as the monotone look he always wielded. "It's alright." He responded, taking note of the situation and time of day it was. He knew they would need to move to a safer destination if they were going to rest for the night. Levi blinked once he heard the other's words for a brief moment, before understanding what he had meant. He allowed the other to turn away from him, the only sound filling the air was the far distant footsteps of titans and the flow of the crystal clear water. It wasn't complete peace, though nice enough for him.


He reached over and delicately stroked Eren's locks of damp hair, before pushing himself up onto his feet. Maybe he needs some peace and quiet. Levi wondered, walking towards Onyx, who had risen to it's feet once it spotted it's beloved owner approach it. He petted it's nose softly, before leading it over to the side of the river, next to where the titan shifter lay. He silently sat back down by Eren's side, as his horse settled down on the other side of Levi. He returned to gently stroking the male's hair, as his horse began to lap up amounts of the fresh water in-front of it.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

((Oh my god they're so cute!! I'ma draw this scene now. What did you do to me?? Lol! I haven't drawn the much in years!! xD ))


Eren felt the warming touch of his superior fall on his head, he let him brush his fingers over his hair before standing up and walking towards the tree. Eren looked at the stars that were starting to wake from their slumber, silver eyes watching them battle internally and externally. He wondered about how he could settle the unsteady paces of his mind. With his feet slowly dragging in the current, he lifted his hand to wipe away the excess tears; cheeks frozen as the night air dried his skin. The sounds of the corporal and the animal walking towards him tore his attention from the thoughts that plagued his brain. He looked up at Levi as he setteled next to him, letting the man's fingers trail through his locks. He was silent for a long while, watching Levi's movements. He stared deep into his eyes, trying to form the heavy feelings he felt into words. A chill ran through him as he be became aware of his dropped temperature. He pulled his legs from the water, holding them close to his chest his lips blue and quivering. "What do you think will happen?" He asked, the open ended question clinging in the air. He looked back to the sky, the stars reflecting in his green eyes. "I mean, are you the Captain of the Survey Corps now? Are we going to the basement in the Shinganshina district?" eyes still pinned to the heavens he moved closer to Levi, laying his head in the male's lap and putting his hand to the man's face. He ran his fingers down his cheek, cuppimg it in his palm before laying his arm along his own chest. "Do you think they'll execute us for not reporting the attack?" He finally asked the question that burned in the back of their minds. "I'm not ready for you to die." He breathed, adverting his eyes away from the soldier, the boulder pressed on his body again, tension in his posture. His eyes began to flutter as the moon rose high above their heads. His bones felt tired, his lungs needed a nap, but his brain just simply wouldn't turn off.

 

[MoxieDov]

He ran his free hand along the side of the noble steed next to him, satisfied at the clean fur he would feel under his fingertips. The said animal stuck the tips of it's broad lips into the steady flowing liquid, gratefully accepting the refreshing drink that Levi brought him over to. He moved the hand off of Onyx's frame, covering his mouth as he let out a yawn. Levi moderately reached over to the creature's silky mane, running his fingers through the long strands to remove any knots that would have formed in the intense galloping that it had preformed earlier. Don't expect to return to the luxury of your private stable, Onyx. He stared at the creature, as both of his hands ran their fingers through some sort of hair. The horse eventually removed it's snout from the stream, letting out a soft nicker as it reached over and nuzzled Levi's arm. The male let out a sigh, slightly displeased at the fact that his limb was now even more damp, due to the horse's recent encounter with liquid.


Levi turned his attention to the titan-shifter by his side, feeling the urge to grab the male's form and pull him into an embrace. Though, he would never say it out loud or admit it. "That's the same question I've been asking myself all day." He responded, before returning to silence as Eren spoke once more. "I don't know. I mean, they're barely any cadets left. If I was the captain, it'd only be captain to a dozen or less soldiers." Levi responded, placing the back of his hand upon the male's cheek. "We might be, if Annie is heading towards there." He replied, moving his hand onto Eren's own, that rested upon his chest. He blinked slowly at the other's next question, considering if he should tell the other of one of his possible decisions in the future. "They...Probably will. I'm not sure if they'll decide on that straight away though. I've heard those people call me Humanity's Strongest or whatever, so I doubt they'd want to lose someone with that kind or reputation. And they have a name for you as well, don't they? Humanity's Last Hope, something like that." Levi answered, lightly lifting the other's hand off his chest, only to slot his fingers in the gaps between Eren's digits.


He stared down at the other as his words reached his ears, the moonlight giving the illusion that his silvery eyes were almost glowing. "I'm not ready for you to either, Eren. I doubt I'll ever be." Levi added, removing his other hand from Onyx, clasping it around the hand of the titan-shifter that he held. "Though, all of that depends on if we or I decide to return to the walls." He started, finally deciding to inform the other of a thought that lingered in his mind. "I might actually leave the military. Or simply stay outside the walls to explore the vast world that humanity has been locked away for these many years. But, if I return to my life before the Survey Corps, I don't know what they'll do to you. They may hand you over to the Military Police, like they intended to before. I highly doubt that they'll be anyone else who is able of controlling you." Levi stated, eyes fixed on the figure that lay upon his lap.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

He sucked air sharply between his teeth, pondering the inevitable. If he went back to the walls, he'd be taken away from the man he lay his head on. Eren's life would end, probably as a result of self-mutilation or execution. The thought of peacefully dying under his own will felt more idealistic, but he may not even get a chance. Annie was bound to do this for him.


Eren grasped the man's hand tightly against his chest, his heart thumping against their fingers. "I don't want to be their last hope." He said tilting his head away from Levi, and shifting his jaw up. He placed the male's hand on his neck, motioning for him to stroke his skin. His eyes drifted closed, goose bumps rising along his form. He let the man's words almost soothe him into a half sleep, until he processed what he was saying. His eyes shot towards him, sitting up quickly. "You can't explore past the walls, you'll be eaten within days!" He exclaimed, his green eyes pleading. He felt his stomach leap into his throat, causing panic to rise in his chest. He was surprised they had survived this long with only the two of them. He waited in silence for a few moments until the man spoke once more.


"Are you saying you're just going to give me up to the Military, and then go throw your life down a titan's throat!?" He yelled, his face flushed over with rage. He wasn't as angry about being given up for execution, as he was hearing that the levelheaded soldier was going to practically kill himself. He rose to his feet, dark hair casting a shadow over his eyes.


"... I highly doubt that they'll be anyone else who is capable of controlling you."


"You're not even able to handle me sometimes." He spat, his temper being cut short. Exauhstion was visible on his features, large dark circles under his eyes. The dimness of the night making his limbs weak, making his previous statement lose it's luster. He walked over the the tree they'd been at, minding the large puddle of bloody bile he's rejected earlier. He grasped onto a low branch, steadily climbing up with some difficulty.

 

[MoxieDov]

He did as the male hinted for him to, gently stroking the other's flesh with the palm of his hand. The animal alongside him watched intently, it's gaze set upon the movements of his owner's fingers. It's distinguishable orbs remained focused upon Levi's hand, before turning it's attention to the grass by it's head, gazing upon the strands once again. His legs began to ache a little, due to the effects of sitting in the same position for too long. He placed his hands upon his lap as the other swiftly shifted off of it, cracking his knuckles briefly before listening to the male's words. "I never said that was a definite decision. Just a mere possibility." Levi commented, about to shift his legs before Onyx had plopped it's head upon his lap a couple of seconds after Eren had moved. It's ears were splayed to the side, as the large animal let out a snort. It's entire head was almost the size of the corporal's upper body, taking up the entire space of Levi's lap. The said male had moved his head to glance at the other, a somewhat worn expression upon his face.


"No, I didn't say anything like that. There is a difference between "might" and "will"." He responded, his mind capable of keeping his stoic composure steady, unlike the previous times. Levi let out a soft sigh as the male shifted onto his feet, hand resting upon his horse's well-groomed mane. He stared at the boy as he spoke, following his figure in the darkness with his non-wavering gaze. Hot-headed brat. Levi turned his head back to the water in-front of him, finally moving his legs from under the animal's head. Onyx let out another snort, bringing it's head back up to it's natural height as he watched the man lay down, his head inches from the animal's side. Levi brought his knees up, placing his hands at the sides of his head, fingers brushing over the area behind his ears. He'll calm down, eventually. He proceeded to preform steady sit-ups, aiming for the amount of two hundred before he would switch to anything else.


Levi sat up properly after his warm-up, only to flip himself around onto his stomach. His hands set firmly onto the dry ground, starting a set of two hundred push-ups, only to add a hundred more one-handed push-ups after. He remained in the position he was in after he had finished the mini challenge, his breathing still strangely steady. Levi would gradually raised his hips up, until his legs were completely straight, head aligned with his spine and his body represented a upside-down "V" shape. He would repeat the same action several times for a certain amount of time.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren clawed at the branches, taking his time. When he finally reached a large enough branch for him to lay in, he slumped with his back against the trunk, his legs dangling off both sides. He panted, trying to slow his heartbeat down. Sweat beaded on the nape of his neck as he stared back at the soldier. He watched the man work, his muscles bulging with every move he made. Eren's eyes wandered along his figure, watching intensely as he lifted himself from the ground. The small noises of Levi's efforts dragging the boy's attention to the shape of his body. He stared for the whole exercise, his mouth watering at the sight of him working up a small sweat. His eyebrows perked up when Levi began using one arm to hoist himself repeatedly. With his cheeks burning bright red, his neck began to sweat as his gaze lingered on the curve of the male's body.


He tried to shake the oddly inappropriate thoughts that lingered in his mind, his tongue pressing to the top of his mouth tightly.


It seemed that his anger had sizzled out, almost immediately after climbing up the irritating vegetation. He reflected on the silly quarrel that had broken out between the two, knowing that he had overreacted to the soldier's word choice.


The titan-shifter lifted his leg over the branch, turning so his stomach was resting on the tree's arm. He brought himself down so he was dangling from the tree by his hands. Lowering his body to the branch closest to his feet he found less effort in trying to climb down, than up. After a while of using the last of his energy to reach the ground, he sauntered over to Levi, eyes gleaming as his friend began to stretch in an odd "v" formation. Eren placed his hand on the shorter man's head.


"I'm sorry, I didn't think things through before I spoke." He admitted, knowing well that he could be a bonehead at times, and a stubborn brat mostly the rest. He sat in the grass next to the soldier, watching his sculpted figure move. His face still tinged scarlet. He yawned, placing his hand over his mouth before speaking again. "You make me antsy." He said, his heart rate increasing as be continued to watch Levi's form. Before the male could speak, seen leaned forward and grabbed his wrist pulling him down on top of his lap and wrapping his arms around him tightly. He pressed his chin on top of the man's head, drinking his scent, and closing his eyes. He pressed his lips to the man's hair speaking softly into his black locks. "You have a way of making me excited without trying." He breathed, his heart slowing as he leaned back against Onyx, his body loosening. The man's body was warm from the small exercise he'd ephedrine moments before, making Eren hold him closer. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he sighed, settling into a comfortable state. He drifted in and out of sleep while cricket chipped around them, calling for their mates. He thought about how close Levi was, how intoxicating his body felt pressed against him.

 

[MoxieDov]

He took notice of the other's form drop off of the tree, having seen the male out the corner of his eye. Soft moan-like sounds escaped his throat as he held the "V" shape for a longer period of time than he should have, as he was somewhat distracted by the other moving towards him. Levi let out a light sigh as he returned to the stance he had started with, elevating his hips back into the air before he felt a light pressure upon his head. He remained still as the other spoke, a smirk barely making it to his lips as the prediction he had made earlier on seemed to turn into reality. "It's fine. You always do that anyway." He responded, a hint of curiosity in his mind as Eren took a seat next to him. "I didn't think watching others exercise was that exciting." Levi stated, lowering his body back into the position he had began with. He stared down at the dimly lit earth beneath his figure, the strands barely brushing over his chin. The dark haired male parted his lips to respond, only to be tugged out of his stance and fall face first into the male's lap.


Levi immediately pushed his face off the other, shifting so he would sit upon Eren's lap instead. A hint of red tinted his cheeks, though he was thankful that due to the lack of light, the colour was barely visible. He let out a soft breathe that fell upon the male's chest, forcing the red to disappear from his face before the other would notice. Levi slipped his toned arms around Eren's waist, pressing himself closer as the other began to speak once more. His eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion at the male's words, though his eyes began to droop. "What the hell do you mean by that?" The corporal questioned, a short yawn escaping his lips moments after he parted them. The large stallion turned his head towards Eren as he rested upon it, only lay it's head onto the grass, preparing itself for slumber as well.


Levi took into the consideration that they may be crushed to death while asleep, though was only reminded by Hange's experiment with Sonny and Bean. Titans shut down at night as well. He pondered, allowing his eyes to flutter closed, laying his head upon Eren's chest, the sound of his heart reaching his ears. I'll just have to wake up at sun-rise then. He noted, his muscles eventually relaxing.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren kept his face nuzzled in Levi's hair, taking in his normal tantalizing smell. For some strange reason no matter how much the man sweat, he always had a strong aroma that reminded him of Flowers. He wondered if this had anything to do with how badly he craved his flesh once they kissed. He heaved a sigh, realizing the man had no idea how his body affected the cadet. "Watching someone exercise, is different from watching you." He said, his breathing slow and calmed. With every rise and fall of his chest he began to slip in and out of consciousness. He barely noticed the male's question, and fell into a deep sleep before being able to answer...


Surrounded by darkness, Eren lifted his hands to feel for any sort of indications as to where he was. He moved forward, his fingers brushing against something warm. He wrapped his fingers around a hand, it had a familiar touch. He felt the smoothe skin of an old friend, his small palms dangling above his head. He looked up, liquid splashing against his forehead, trickling down his cheek and falling off the tip of his chin. The male seemed to shrug it off, like it was something that happened every day. A dim light brought his attention to a table, one single candle illuminating a piece of paper. He placed his hands on both sides of the page, leaning in to read nastalgic handwriting.


"Dear Mom,


I'm sorry I couldn't save you. Nothing has been the same since your death. I miss your smile, and the way you would hold me when I was sick. Life is hell now, and there are no more simple days. I miss when we lived like cattle, peace through the walls. I'm sorry, I can't survive for you."


Eren gulped too afraid to read on. But his mind wouldn't let him move from the spot. His brown hair falling over his now snow-white face.


"Dear father,


I didn't make it home, I've failed you. I've failed humanity. I am a worthless son. I'm sorry."


He continued reading, his heart falling deep into his stomach. Mouth dry as fear settled deep inside him.


"Dear Armin,


What can I say? I am the reason you're dead, I couldn't save you. I couldn't save anyone. I miss your voice, and the way you would talk me down from the highest of ledges. You always knew what to do in a hairy situation, and now I wish you could be here to get me through this never ending nightmare. I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry"


Eren took a deep breath, his eyes wide. The person who had scrawled across the parchment had mirrored his mind perfectly. They knew what plagued his thoughts. He tried to look away but his neck was stiff, eyelids glued open.


"Dear Mikasa,


You were a brave soul, and I can't imagine what was going on in your head before you died. Your face haunts my memories. I know you did everything you could to fix me, to keep me safe. I always argued with you, just like with mom. I'm stubborn, and weak. Now you're gone, and I am left with nothing. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe anymore. I wish I could have taken your place, I wonder what would have happened if I died instead. Would humanity really fall? Would anyone care? "


The boy felt tears start to prick behind his eyelids, his chest feeling the tight pressure again. What was this? Some kind of sick joke? Where was he?


"Dear Levi,


I love you. I love you too much to let you live in this hell I've created. I'm sorry I let myself get lost in the Titan's lust. I couldn't control myself. I cry to sleep, hoping you'll come back to me. I can't help but stare at myself in this broken mirror, and hate every part of me for what I've done to you. I can still taste you when I sleep, dreaming of where you may be. I hope the afterlife is beautiful, I hope you're no longer in pain."


Eren's breathing had become ragged, his head splitting as a million possabilities ran through his mind. He felt his muscles heave as uncontrollable sobs shook his body. He wanted to stop, to turn away from the heartbreaking letter. Would this never end?


"Dear Eren,


I hate you. You've ruined everything. You killed my family and my friends, devouring all my hope. You're a failure, and once you're finished writing this guilt-ridden letter, you will die. I hope we burn for what we've done. The Military Police are already on their way to end it all, but I guess you'd rather die alone then face your mistakes. Only something a coward would do. Goodnight, and sweet dreams. --Eren Yeager , Titan."


The titan-shifter finally broke away from the desk, stumbling back into the fingers of someone he knew. The candle had begun to glow brighter, illuminating the dark room. He looked up, gaze falling on the faces of his loved ones. They hung above by their open carcasses, their eyes frozen in fear. Blood fell from their body's, dripping off their linps and fingertips. He screamed, backing away from the corpses, their pupils following him as he moved. Mouths hanging open, screaches exploded from their throats, scarlet splashing across the man's face. He stared deep into the eyes of everyone he had ever known, hands grabbing for him. Their nails scraped against his head as he ran towards the exit, stumbling over something limp. He fell against the floorboards, his face planting in a metallic smelling liquid. He lifted his neck, copper filling his pallet. He looked at his feet, a hand grasping around his ankle, the arm connected to a dark-haired boy. He stared deep into his own eyes, teeth sharpened to a fine point. Before he knew it, the creature who looked similar to himself was upon him, his teeth sinking deep into his flesh. Another scream escaped his lips, eyes never tearing away from his double's crazed hues.


Suddenly he was no longer looking at himself, but of someone familiar. The scent of flowers filled his nostrils. He snapped his teeth together, wet materials dripping down his tongue. "Ow! Eren what are you doing?!" Levi cried, his neck stuck between the titan's teeth. Eren smiled as he lifted his face from the other's jugular, licking the sweet substance from his lips. "I can't take it, you're just so sweet." The words fell from his tongue, panic rising in the corporal's face as the inevitable became clear. "Eren, no!" He yelled struggling against the male's tight grip.


"Just relax." He soothed before sinking his teeth deep into the man's flesh, tearing the his windpipe from his skeleton.


Choking on his own blood, Levi's hands trembled, his fingers trying to push the hungry beast away. Eren continued, stripping the skin from his frame as he screamed out.


Causing Eren to laugh uncontrollably, slowly turning into cries of agony as he watched himself chew on the human he loved...


"Levi..."





"Levi!"


Eren called out. The sun had barely peeked it's head above the horizon. Tears stung his skin, his face completely soaked with the salt water. He couldn't help but give in to his fit, crying loudly as the images from his dream flashed behind his closed eyelids. He burried his face in his hands, his legs pulled tightly against his chest. He couldn't take this, he wasn't equipped for this internal battle.

 

[MoxieDov]

Once again, he found him ambling through a concluded area, this time, through stone corridors. Several torches were secured to the walls, several inches from his sides. Some sort of fabric covered his head and barely the top of his range of view. A chill in the air sent an uneasy feeling through his veins, as it seemed like he was walking through endless tunnels. The steady tapping of boots accompanied the sound of his soft breathes, as well as the gentle rustle of the clothes he wore. For some of unknown reason, he was required to make his way out of the underground complex he currently residing in. It's Tuesday, isn't it? The man angled his head down, staring at the tainted piece of paper that he held in his gloved hands. Yeah. Come to think of it...Why do I need to go up? Levi pondered, though continued to stride through the dark passages that would eventually lead to stairs.


It only took him half an hour to reach the top of the stairs that he headed to, though for his mind, it would seem like hours. Due to the questioning thoughts that clouded his mind and refused to leave. He carefully slipped out the building that the flight of steps ended at, making his way towards the city centre of Sina.


As he approached his final destination, a loud crowd could be heard. Is this a celebration of some sort? Did humanity win? He considered, due to the amount of cheering and chanting that was also clearly audible within the large group of people. He stared down at his black boots, which reached the knees of his equally as dark trousers, arms crossed over his crisp white shirt, his signature cravat tied neatly around his neck. High-quality silk also bound around his neck, a pitch-black cloak that ended at his thighs and remained fastened with a silver clasp. Black, satin gloves wrapped around his hands, a prized possession of his. Levi kept his head down as he entered the roaring crowd, hood pulled up and over the top of his eyes, attempting to avoid any attention. What's the special event? He wondered, pushing some out his way as he moved to the front of the humongous group of town-folk. Once he stood at the front, he reached up and pushed his hood back, till it simply rested upon his head. Grey eyes widened in shock as he registered what was upon the wooden stage in-front of him, dropping the piece of paper onto the concrete ground. Eren.


The said male was bound from a wooden pole, hung up by his hands, with a finely crafted rope. A black strip of cloth bound around his eyes, removing the titan-shifter's sense of sight. Tears seemed to stream out from beneath the cloth, drying upon his pale cheeks. Several bruises and thin cuts littered around the male's arms and face, the result of many different punishments. A dozen of soldiers were lined up at the sides of the large stage, all baring the 3DMG. A blonde male stood by the suspended boy, hands wielding a large steel axe. A polished spear lay against a crate by the man's side, a basket place in-front of Eren. How could I forget?! Levi mentally screamed at himself, shock temporarily paralysing his toned figure. Today is Eren's f****** execution!


Just as he gathered his composure to finally make another move, the church bells began to ring twelve times, signalling that it was noon. The crowd let our an roar of excitement, many urges for the blonde man to end the boy's life. The man raised his weapon, causing another row of commotion to erupt from the people behind him. Levi suddenly rushed towards the stage, grappling the edge and pulling himself up. The soldiers who stood in perfect formations began to move towards the corporal, the towns people shouting at him in irritation for delaying the event. He headed towards the blonde, who's eyes had widened and brought back his axe, ready to swing it into the shorter man. Levi raised his foot, smashing it into the man's stomach, causing him to stumble back with immense pain. His hood had fallen off his head in his rush of actions, revealing his identity. As he shifted his foot to inflict another blow, muscular arms hooked around his own, raising him off the wooden surface and moving him away from the executor.


"Levi, calm down." A stern voice ordered, the footsteps of the soldiers returning to their places muffling the instruction. Levi thrashed around in the man's grasp, using all of his strength to attempt and break out of Erwin's hold. "Let me go!" The dark haired man screamed, smashing his foot into the taller male's legs several times. "...Levi...?" A gentle, voice called out with little strength, his voice hoarse as if the owner hadn't rested in days. Levi suddenly ceased his movements, eyes darting over to the brown haired male who had angled his head towards the direction of him. "Eren! Eren!" His voice desperately yelled out, as the blonde man from earlier advanced towards the blindfolded boy. Eren's lips curved up into a small smile, as a fresh rush of tears flowed down his cheeks. Levi writhed intensely, trying once more to free himself from the man's grip. "Eren!" He screamed out once more, uncontrollable tears beginning to trickle his face. The blonde man swung his axe forward, slicing through Eren's neck in a single swipe, blood splattering onto his arms and the floor.


Erwin loosened his grip on the smaller male once the action had been preformed, allowing Levi to stumble out of his arms and rush over to the rolling head. He fell to the ground on his knees, hands carefully picking up the decapitated head. He untied the blindfold round the top part of his face, hands trembling as his gaze fell upon the lifeless green eyes that simply stared back. He heard the sound of the executor frantically stabbing the spear through Eren's heart several times, insuring that he wouldn't regenerate his head. Harsh sobbing soon exited Levi's lips, liquid constantly flowing down his face as he held the male's cold head. Levi leaned forward slowly, gently placing a tender kiss upon Eren's frozen lips.


~~~


Levi's eyes snapped open, a sudden intake of breathe entering his lungs at the same time. His blurred gaze took a moment to refocus, as he moved his left hand to gently rub his eyes. He felt streaks of dry liquid along his face, realising that he was crying in his sleep. That was strange... Levi stared down at the male beneath him, seeming to be sleeping soundly. He moved his head down, pressing his ear against Eren's chest, letting out a sigh of relief when he picked up on the sound of a steady heartbeat. He remained in that position for a couple of minutes, eyes staring out into the darkness. Levi eventually decided to get up, taking his time to carefully slide out of the hazel haired male's arms, as he would dislike to awake him from his slumber. He slowly raised his arms, stretching his arms and legs thoroughly. He then moved towards the river, kneeling down and splashing cold liquid into his face, attempting to eliminate the nightmare that lingered in his mind.


Once Levi had fixed up his appearance, he returned to his feet, staring at the male he remained asleep. I suppose I should go out and retrieve food, of some sort while he and the titans are down. He noted, making his way towards the horse that stood by the tree, nibbling at the leaves. "Come on, Onyx. We're going hunting." The male announced, patting the animal on it's nose gently before using the branches to assist him in climbing upon the tall creature. Levi tapped the side of his horse, earning an excited neigh before Onyx started out in a trot.


Forty-five minutes later he would return, his left hand gripping onto the ears of two hares. He had managed to avoid the attention of titans while he was out, though a four metre took interest in the male. Luckily, Levi had lost it fifteen minutes ago upon horseback. He lowered himself off the large animal, giving it a affectionate pet before making his way over to a space a couple of metres from Eren. Levi would say that his ankle was beginning to heal and that less pain was experienced, but he isn't so sure himself. He considered gathering wood to build a fire in the spot that was in-front of him, before he heard the other's cry.


Levi placed the dead animals upon a clean path of grass, making a note to wash them later. He swiftly cleaned his hands with a handkerchief as he moved over to the younger male. He shoved the piece of cloth away, before kneeling down by Eren's side. Levi hooked his arms around the other's curled-up form, resting his chin upon the top of the male's head. "I'm here, Eren. What's the matter?"

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren almost jumped when the silent arms of the smaller man wrapped themselves around his body, he looked up burying his forehead into Levi's neck. He took in his scent, his eyes watching the blood pump under his veins. The gruesome images of his fallen rushed behind his vision, causing his cry s to become more frantic.


Mentally, he was falling apart. Guilt had sunk it's teeth deep into his limbs, refusing to let go. He pressed his hand tightly to the mother's warm flesh, taking mote that he was still alive. The dead couldn't speak.


He opened his mouth to speak, but it was deluded by heaves as sobs rippled through his ribs. After just laying there and bawling into the Corporal's shoulder for what seemed like hours, he took the male's face between his eyes. Scanning the soldier's face for any sign of injury, caused by his hand, he brushed his fingers down Levi's jaw. "It's getting difficult." He finally spoke, his voice thick with sticky emotions. Throat raw and eyes burning with the remainder of tears, he took deep breaths trying to calm himself before going on. "I..." his brain flashed back to the long note on the table, the candle reflecting off the cold stares of everyone he'd ever loved. "I killed them!" He screamed, a rush of emotion falling against his chest once more, causing water to flow from his eyes once more. "I could have... I should have...!" He tried to form the words that built in the back of his mouth, finally spilling everything from his maw. He forced his dream out in ragged breaths, explaining in excruciating detail. He told Levi of his deep fear, fear of his unknown urges to devour the man's flesh. He hawked up his guilt, feeling that he was responcible for so many deaths. Especially during the battle within Wall Sina, he'd crushed and trampled over more souls then he wanted to believe. "I'm so afraid of hurting you..." he said finally, his sobs coming to an end. He felt he didn't have enough tears to shed for the innocent lives he took, there weren't enough in the world.


"After we've brought down Annie..." he paused, making his mind up for the better of them both. "I'll be going to Shiganshina alone." His words made his own chest feel tight, he didn't want to continue. Knowing well that if he gave up his plan to Levi, this man would use all of his power to stop him.

 

[MoxieDov]

He let out faint sigh as felt the other press against his flesh, moving one of his hand up towards the boy's head. He gently ran his palm across the soft brown locks, threading his long fingers through them delicately. These nightmares of his seem to be getting worse each time. Levi noted, allowing his warm breathe to fall upon Eren's head. The sound of the other shedding tears caused something in his chest to almost crack, keeping his breathing pattern steady to refrain himself from slipping back into his own dream. He kept his fingers moving, affectionately straightening and pushing stray locks back into place, feeling the need to reassure Eren that he was still right there. As he felt a dampness begin to settle in the shoulder blade of his jacket, he let out a breathy sigh, pressing his lips lightly against the other's scalp. If it was in any other situation, he would have been enraged at the male's actions, though he let it go, for this one time.


Levi blinked as the other stared intensely at him, though kept his lips still. He paused for a moment, taking a moment to fully understand the other's statement before he made up any replies. He continued to restrain any words from escaping his mouth, having a hunch that the titan-shifter still had more to say. His hand gradually slowed, simply tangling his slim fingers in Eren's hair. "You didn't, Eren." Levi muttered softly, his hand returning to it's previous task as his arm tightened it's grip around the male. "You could have what?" He asked, the pitch of his tone lower than usual, as well as quieter. Levi allowed his eyes to show sympathy for the boy's horrible nightmare, as he stared down at Eren as he informed him.


"You won't." He responded to the other's statement, arching his upper body a little to crack his back. Levi soon returned to his usual stance, his attention swiftly returning to male as he took notice of a certain blonde's name being mentioned. He felt a frown tug down his features, disapproval clear in his expression. "No, you're not." Levi responded, his grip on the other loosening, just in case the boy wanted to change into a more comfortable position.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren pushed himself away from the soldier, rising to his feet. His jaw set, grinding his teeth together. A frown pulled his eyebrows down, a shadow casting over his cheeks. "You can't come with me, Levi." He spat, his mood suddenly changing drastically. He knew the closer they grew together, the farther away he'd have to stray. He'd have to be careful, make sure he didn't taste the man before him. He couldn't bare to see the male at his feet get hurt because of something Eren had done. He was a curse, killing everything he touched. "I can't control myself around you, and we both know it. Every time we touch I'm putting you in danger." He let his mind reel back to the many nightmares he'd had about the soldier he loved. Knowing the taste of his flesh.


"It won't be long until I crave more from you." He spoke, choosing his words carefully. His voice had leveled out, now breathing his sentances softly. His eyes flickered to the two dead animals in the grass behind the corporal. He brushed past Levi, his brain whirling. "I'll be the death of you." He said before falling out of earshot.


The brown-haired man pushed past the trees, searching for firewood. He plucked long dry brittle sticks from the ground, not paying attention to his surroundings. He reached down, his fingers grasping hold of a large block of tinder.


Something large broke through the underbrush, its foot slamming on top of the human s arm. The sound of crunching bone caused Eren's vision to blur as pain shot through his hand. He yelled out in agony, caught under the enourmouse beast at his elbow. Eren pulled back hard, his shirt ripping. A loud pop vibrated up his shoulder as his limb disconnected from the joint. Flesh ripped, blood spilling over the grass. Eren's body flew back, hittimg the ground hard. Gasping for breath the titan-shifter looked up, his green eyes wide as he stared into a tight-skinned face. The titan's tongue fell from it's lips, saliva dropping onto the man's face. Eren lifted his hand to his nose biting down hard on his thumb. The skin broke, copper filling his mouth.


Nothing happened.


He stumbled to his feet, jumping out of the way as a hand slammed against the ground barely brushing against his skin. Eren, face down in the grass, sunk his teeth deep into the palm of his hand, trying to trigger his change.


Nothing.


Frantic the boy crawled at the ground. Trying to get away from the beast as quick as possible. The Titan swept for him again, picking him up in its fingers. It reacted too slow, losing the boy a yard away.


Eren's side smashed against the grass, his teeth still burrowed in his skin, he bit down harder. Again and again he snuffed his cries behind a thick wall of blood.

 

[MoxieDov]

His gaze followed the other as he rose, arms immediately crossing over his chest moments after. He let out a huff of air from his nose, his mood darkening as his ears picked up on the male's next words. "You'll get yourself killed in a heartbeat out there. You would have died yesterday if I wasn't there." Levi responded, his tone growing stern at the other's decision. I'd probably survive longer out there than you, anyway. He noted, somewhat amusing himself with his thought. He moved his arms, placing the palms of his hands upon the ground, pushing the rest of his form off the grass. Levi failed to respond, eyes cast aside to avoid the other's gaze as he cocked his hip to the right. His eyes flickered back to the titan-shifter, letting out a faint sigh at his words. You're basically saying that I should f*** off as soon as possible because I'm in "danger". He concluded, eyes tracking the other's every movement with a stoic stare. "Actually, I'd probably be the cause of my death." Levi corrected, his voice barely above a whisper.


He moved over to the horse's side, who was simply staring off into the distance. Levi leaned forward resting the side of his head against the base of the stallion's neck, his black hair coming into contact with Onyx's equally dark mane. "What am I going to do, Onyx?" He muttered, watching as the animal's head twisted round to face his smaller form. "You don't have a stable to return to any-more. I don't have a...well, I don't even know if you could call it home." Levi added, fully knowing that the horse couldn't possibly understand what he was saying. Nevertheless, it was nice to be able to tell someone, even if it was a horse, his problems. Someone that would simply sit and listen, without adding any comments or false hope. Someone who would just be there at times. That's what Petra used to do.


Levi was suddenly snapped out of his melancholic thoughts, by the sound of a familiar shout. He let out a breathy sigh, slowly moving away from the obedient animal. He headed towards the small forest near by, spotting a titan in the bundle of trees. It's like the brat is trying to get into trouble. If that's the case, he's doing a magnificent job. Levi noted the sound of hoofs approaching him, knowing that he know had back-up for whatever he would do in the next couple of moments. He took off in a sprint, having been accustomed to the throbbing in his ankle whenever he would move.


He caught sight of the titan that would be his victim today, as well as the male who lay upon the ground. I told you so. He felt a smug smirk tug up the corner of his lips at his earlier words, advancing towards the giant. The titan's attention failed to be caught by Onyx's loud neigh, which did not surprise the corporal who continued to run. Levi attached a hook upon the creature's shoulder, fully prepared for what may happen due to his action. As he leapt up towards his destination, the titan swung it's hands over, perfectly catching the entirety of Levi's figure in it's fists. The steed let out a distraught cry, raising itself onto it's back legs. A couple of seconds would past, the titan somewhat satisfied by the lack of movement inside it's hands.


The silence was soon broken, by the sound of blades slicing through bones and flesh. His swords cleanly cut through the titan's wrists, freeing himself from their grasp. Blood splattered onto his face, immediately producing steam as it came into contact with his pale flesh. The titan let out a loud growl, leaning it's forward to catch the male in it's jaws. Levi hooked onto it's forehead, swiftly dragging himself up onto the flesh. He raised his arms, stabbing the creature's eyes, efficiently blinding it for a period of time. He flipped up and over the titan's head, landing upon it's neck. "You know, there is a advantage to being...smaller than others." Levi started, running the tip of his blades across the monster's neck for a brief moment. "It makes me more nimble and harder to grasp completely." He added, jumping up and slicing off the nape of the titan's neck. He leaped off the flesh, landing by the side of his now relieved steed.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren lay in the grass, blood looking from the limb that was now missing. He stared at the number of flesh that refused to heal. No sign of steam rose from him, his heart slowing as spurts of scarlet sliced along the grass. His intact arm lay on his chest, eyes staring dully at the clouds that passed his head. His teeth had moved up to his wrist, sinking deep into the flesh. Crescent marks where his molars had injected themselves ran along all fingers. When his wrist didn't work, he continued to rip at the flesh up to his elbow. In a frantic haze, he barely noticed all the damage he's been causing, the mess he made. I can't protect us if I'm this useless. Why isn't it working? Work! Work work!


The pain that followed with every slash at his skin, completely forgotten as panic consumed him. He sat up abruptly, his nails now digging deep into his cheek. He raked at the skin, tears pricking behind his eyelids.


He heard the quick rumble of Onuses hooves against the grass, his gaze not following. He didn't watch as Levi proved his previous argument wrong. He heard the horse neigh with panic as it's master was held tightly in the monster's grip. He didn't speak, didn't move.


Even though the Titan had been vanquished, it's body black with decay, he continued to attempt the change. His free fingers clawing at his neck, when that didn't work he grew angry.


His rage built under his skin, and what started as a frantic attempt to save their lives turned quickly into a dark obsession. Blood trailed along his body as he unbuttoned his shirt, clawing at his chest. Grunts audible over the rumble of several different Titan that crashed through the bramble, their jaws open ready for a snack.

 

[MoxieDov]

He scanned the area for the male, making his movements quick and ragged as he could hear the approaching footsteps. "Eren!" He called out, moving around the trees in a steady run, in search of the said male. It took him a couple of seconds before his gaze fell upon the titan-shifter, who was currently bleeding from many wounds. Levi parted his lips to exclaim some sort of question, only to be interrupted by the trees smashing against the ground, crushed by giant feet.


He swiftly turned his head to face the monsters, frowning heavily at the amount of the said creatures. He acted swiftly, anchoring onto a tall tree that was suited a couple of metres away from him. Levi swung himself up, as his horse quickly galloped away from the titans, knowing that it would have been trampled to death if it didn't move. He shot himself to the side of a ten metre, narrowing missing the fist of another that ran by it's side. He angled his figure towards the back of the monster, anchoring onto the back of it's head. Levi released the hook as it turned it's head around, avoiding being dragged around by the movement. He chopped off a chunk of flesh from it's neck, leaping back as a hand swatted for him. What is he doing? Doesn't he know he'll die if he just sits there?! Levi pondered, catching sight of Eren out the corner of his eyes as he shot towards another titan. He scoffed, slaughtering two eleven metres in one swing, thanks to his momentum. He landed upon a branch, a hand against the bark to prop himself up. Four titans remained, three heading towards him, the other simply wandering towards the hazel haired male.


Levi swooped off the tree, as a arm collided with the branch he had been standing upon. Titan blood splattered all across his form, causing steam to rise up from the patches of liquid as he made his way towards the seven metre. He felt the teeth of one of the creatures graze across his legs, short relief settling into his mind as the gas propelled him away from it. Levi soon arrived at the neck of the small titan, who was taking it's time, strolling towards the other male. He let out a soft groan, as he proceeded to cut out a slab of roasting hot flesh from it. "Eren, run or something!" The dark haired male exclaimed, before turning around to face the trio of creatures that were heading towards him, hungry for food.


Levi made the dire mistake of plunging off the corpse with his broken ankle, causing his balance to suffer severely. It took a moment for the soldier to regain his senses from the sudden failure to aim. He raised his hand again, and as he was a millisecond from pressing the trigger, a hand collided into his side, causing his figure to crash through the leaves and branches of several trees. Levi's body clashed with thick branches, breaking them off from the bark. Pain surged through his veins, as the movement came to a sudden end, by slamming him against the trunk of an oak tree. The air had been knocked out of his lungs, proving it a challenge to force himself back onto his feet, knowing that the small accident could become the death of him. As he stumbled forward, ready for action once again, a large foot swept him of his own feet, kicking his small form up into the air. Blood poured out of his parted lips, spraying in different directions as his form was knocked around by branches and thick leaves. His mind was cloudy, slipping in and out of consciousness due to the impact of the blows he had endured. Bruises began to form upon his once pale skin, blood trickling down from the corner of his lips. The wind billowed his cape and hair as he fell back down to the ground, several sharp points tearing the ends of the green cloth that wrapped around his neck. I can't die like this. Levi's body came into contact with the dirt at a intense speed, efficiently knocking him into unconsciousness.


Onyx had witnessed the entire thing, his cherished owner being knocked around as if his body was a mere pebble. It frantically rushed to where the male would have landed, knowing that without the human, it would simply die out in the plains. It let out a loud neigh, attempting to catch the attention of the monsters that began to corner the blood-stained man.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Levi's cries tore Eren's mind from the task that had burrowed itself deep into his mind. He watched the body fling from the giant's foot, the male landing hard on the grass. His eyes grew wide at the injured man, his heart suddenly ramming against his ribcage."Levi!" He cried stumbling away from the three large creatures. He dropped to his knees, blood dripping heavily on the other's figure as he pressed his remaining palm against his pale bruised cheek. Rage flared in his chest, anger towards himself for losing his mind in the moments. Anger towards the Titan's for being alive.


He jumped to his feet, a growl escaping his lips. He thought of Levi, and how he'd die if the titan-shifter couldn't change. He thought of Annie, and how he wished to rip her guts from her pathetic figure. He thought about life beyond the wall, with the man at his feet. His brain stayed on the face of the man he loved, the image of his smile burning deep behind his eyelids. Protect him, with your life.


BOOM!


Heat split through Eren's head, steam rose along the fresh wounds sealing his skin. Electricity rumbled through his tendons, his form growing. Clouds of hot air produced a fifteen meter mass of muscle. His jaw hung open, his large tongue lopping out from between his lipless mouth. A scream erupted from his vocal cords, shaking the ground around him. He picked up Levi between his thumb and forefinger, placing him atop the horse before letting the animal take off.


He leaned forward, a hand flying at his face. He grasped the fingers between his teeth, wrapping his thick arms around the titan s body and pulling his head to the side quickly. The creature's arm tore off in Eren's teeth, causing the brute to yelp. The man lifted the creature over his head, crushing its face in his hand before pulling on both sides of the hideous monster. He ripped it in half, the contents of its full stomach spilling over the his head. Rotting corpses spilled over the grass.


To make sure the thing was dead, he discarded the legs, and placed the nape of the Titan's neck in his mouth, thus ending the creature's life.


A smaller giant had begun to gnaw at Eren's knees, making him growl with anger. He swiped it up in one hand, placing the head in his mouth and ripping it from the creature's frame. He spit the head down, kicking it into the last tita' s hands. Confusion seemed to filter through it's face as it held the rotting decapitated head. Before it could react, Eren's face came flying towards its neck. Gripping it tightly in his maw he tore the flesh, wrapping his arms around it's body while he tore at the nape.

 

[MoxieDov]

The animal watched carefully as the other male rushed over, though it's gaze swiftly returned to the corporal. Onyx was unsure if the male was alive or not, causing it's mind to switch into a state of panic. The horse had began to approach the two, only to quickly move back in surprise at the sudden steam and noise. It moved back a couple of metres, before looking up at the newly formed titan. Onyx let out an irritated nicker as the other lifted Levi off the floor, thinking that the male was going to devour the male. All signs of annoyance vanished as it felt a light weight upon it's back, twisting it's head around to see. The steed then immediately took off in a gallop, after confirming what was upon it. It headed towards the area that they had been resting in yesterday, as it failed to know the direction of it's former stables.


Scarlet blood dripped from the male's mouth, his unresponsive eyes staring straight at the ground as his head rested upon the back of Onyx's neck. His hands dangled limply by his sides, blades hung from the wires that were attached to the gas mechanism. Hair stained with his own blood and some of the titans he had slain. If anyone would have laid eyes upon the corporal, they would have assumed that he was actually dead.


The two would reach the side of the river a minute of so later, due to the horse's rushed movement. Onyx glanced around the area, as if searching for any titans before it settled down. The animal lowered itself into a lying down position, before tipping the body off and onto the ground. Levi rolled back onto the grass, eyes staring up at the clouded sky. The horse then rose back onto it's hooves, trotting towards the water to receive a quick drink. Onyx returned to it's limp owner, laying back down, moving into a position so it's form curled around Levi, as if protecting a foal.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

After repeatedly slamming the heal of his foot into the rotting corpse of the slain titans Eren searched for his fellow companies. He glanced at the trail of blood that had been left behind by the steed, his mind racing. The last thing he noticed before ripping the beasts to shreds was the lack of life in Levi's eyes. He made his way back to the river, slumping to his knees as he stared down at the unconscious male. He ignored the horse, and gently grasped the limp soldier in the palm of his hand. Tears fell from the titan's glowing green eyes, large drops of salt water splashing against the corporal. The titan shifter shook himself free from the Titan's vertabrae slicing his fist through the nape of its neck. He quickly climbed down from the steaming frame, stumbling as he frantically reached for Levi. He stood on the steaming hand that was placed on the ground, the heat radiating from the disintigrating flesh making him cough. He picked up the man he loved in his arms, carrying him away from the corpse that was caving in. Sobs shook his body as he fell to his knees, again. He pressed his palm to the man's cheek, brushing black locks away from his forehead. "Levi... oh god." His voice was thick, quivering as sadness overtook his mind. "Levi, wake up!" He said pressing his lips to the man's forehead. He gripped him tightly to his chest, cries ripping through his body. "I'm so sorry Levi! Please come back to me!" His words were barely audible through the cloud of dark sorrow that built under his tongue. His heart felt like it was going to burst. "You can't die, I need you! Who's going to let me love them?" He asked rain pouring down his cheeks. He tried to console himself, tried everything he could to keep himself calm during this hour of terror. It didn't work.


Screams rippled through his clenched teeth, his eyes screwed shut tightly trying to suppress the rush of salty water. "Come back..."

 

[MoxieDov]

A loud neigh erupted from the dark steed's mouth as the other lifted it's owner from it. The horse watched as liquid fell from the giant's eyes, somewhat confused at the event. It trotted backwards, to avoid the sudden steam had erupted from the body that knelt a distance in-front of it. Onyx simply stayed still, watching as Eren retrieved it's owner from the large hand, as he began to cry, as he spoke to the unresponsive male. The steed didn't know what to do, without the commands of it's owner, it would not be of any use.


An hour would past and the male had failed to move or show any signs of life in that period of time. The horse lay under the tree, watching the two from a distance. It lay it's head upon the grass, almost as if it was hoping for the dark haired male to do something, anything.


His dull eyes continued to stare into space, before they suddenly flickered around the area. His eyesight seemed to be blurred for a moment, before coming back into focus. Levi blinked his eyes several times, feeling that the organs were unusually dry. It took him a moment to realise where he was. Am I dead? He pondered, before his attention set on the male that held him in his arms. He lifted his right hand, taking note of the bruises that tainted the once pale flesh. It also caused him a small deal of pain to move the limb, though it wasn't something too severe. Levi gently cupped Eren's cheek with his hand, letting out a faint sigh at the warmth. "..E..Eren?" He mumbled, his voice hoarse and somewhat weak.

 

[-.-.Lucifer.-.-]

Eren's eyes shot open when the male's weak voice fell along his chest. The cold hand pressed against his cheek causing Eren's cries to become louder. He held Levi as close to his heart as he could manage. "You're alive!" He sobbed, pressing his hand over the other's. Seen tried to blink the tears away, but his overwhelming rush of happiness got the better of him. He dropped his hand to Levi's neck, feeling his heart beat under the skin. He let his fingers curl under the nape of his neck, sitting him up in his lap and wrapping his arms around him in a warm embrace. "I thought you died." He said softly into his ear, warm salt water drilling onto the man's shoulder. "I love you." He said keeping the man close to him while he tried to settle his nerves. He felt Levi's heart rap sweetly against his own chest, making his worry and fear slip away. He planted his lips on the man's jugular, careful not to harm his bruised body. He raked his fingers through the other's hair, trying to soothe himself.

 

[MoxieDov]

He watched closely as the other reacted to his quiet voice, grateful for the amount of warmth that the male was providing. He turned his head away from the male for a moment, letting out a cough. Levi took notice of the approaching sound of hooves, catching sight of Onyx settling down a distance away from the two. He stared at the other as he spoke, somewhat oblivious to what had happened earlier on. "...Of course, I..I am." He responded, the corners of his lips barely curving upwards at the sight of the other male's happiness. Did I pass out? I must have, to end up here. Though, if Eren transformed to kill the rest of the titans, why was he sitting still at the start? Multiple thoughts crossed his mind, only to end up hurting his head.


Levi raised both arms, before loosely draping them upon the other's shoulders. He also hooked his legs around the other's waist, wanting to stay as close as he could to the male for some reason. He blinked as the other spoke, racking his mind to recover the memories of how he was injured that badly. His attention was suddenly stolen from his thoughts by the other's words, the curve in his lips growing slightly. "..I love you, too." Levi whispered, lightly pressing his hand against the back of the male's head. He remained in silence for a couple of minutes, simply resting in the other's arms.


"Say...Eren?" He eventually questioned, having been staring at the distance. "Do you know how to build a fire..? Because I need to cook those hares...before rot and become disgusting." Levi stated, feeling a strange tiredness rush through his veins, an urge to close his eyes rose to the surface.
