Saving Me

Chapter 1

Autors Note:

In this story both Eren and Levi are 16 years old.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"New developments in the case of the brutal rape that occurred ten days ago. Police forces managed to catch two of the three men alleged in raping a minor. As we all recall the horrific event occurred inside the boys' house on January the 10th. Because of the delicacy of the case no further information was allowed to be released to the media. If you see the man in the picture, please call the police immediately. He is considered highly dangerous and armed."

A photo of a muscular man in his 30s appeared on the TV screen.

"This is awful", – Eren thought to himself. "I wonder if I know this boy..If he's in high school I've probably seen him. After all Maria High is the only high school in this Gods' forsaken town".

"I miss Levi so much! He's been ill for a long time, and he won't even let me visit him at home.."

Eren had been insanely in love with Levi for two years now. Levi hadn't returned his love, but at least he allowed Eren to hang around him. Despite Levis' coldness and many curses Eren would cling to him like a little puppy.

"Hope he comes back tomorrow, I missed my Heichou..".

~~~~~~~~~~

Eren entered the classroom without much hope to see Levi, but there he was. Near the rear window of the class stood a relatively short boy with black hair. His frozen grey eyes were focused on some invisible dot on the floor while he tried to ignore all the rumble in the class.

-Heichou!!  - Eren screamed jumping on Levi and squeezing him in a tight hug.

Everyone turned their heads towards the 'couple' but Eren didn't care, and Levi was already used to it.

-Eren..Stop it..You're chocking me! – Levi grunted.

-I've missed you so much! Did you miss me Heichou? Did you miss me? Did you think about me while you were away??

Levi didn't answer. Eren finally released the hug and then he noticed; Levis' eyes weren't just cold as usual, there was something missing, as if a small piece of life vanished away from them. Then Eren caught the whole picture. Levis' left eye was darker, as if a black-eye had been there not long ago. His lips had healing bruises and he had a pretty deep cut on his left cheek.

-Levi…Look at you! Are you alright??

-Umm..yeah I'm fine..Just got into a fight a few days ago.

Eren knew that was a lie. He studied Levi to the smallest details for two years. Although to everybody else it seemed that Levi always had the same expression on his face, Eren could distinguish the small muscle movements on his face that made all the difference. Same with Levis' voice tone, his moves, everything.

Eren decided to play along, there was just something so melancholic in Levis' expression, Eren didn't want to make it worse.

-So instead of taking care of yourself while you are sick you get into fights??

Levi didn't answer, he just stared through Eren.

Finally the bell rang and everybody sat in their places. Erens' seat was next to Levis' and when he leaned to get his notes from his back, Eren noticed bruises around Levis' palms. It seemed as if something wrapped them very tightly.

And then it hit him; Levi stopped going to school the day after the reported rape. He wouldn't allow Eren to visit him, probably because he was at the hospital and not at home. Erens' heart suddenly squeezed painfully. He needed to know, he needed to know badly if his speculations were true. He needed to know if his love was suffering.

During the whole day Eren wasn't able to get a minute alone with Levi. Besides, he didn't know how to ask him. How do you ask a person such a question?

Finally when the day was over Eren remained alone with Levi in the classroom.

-Hey..Levi.. – Eren was nervous and shaking.

Levi didn't turn to look at him, he just stared into some invisible dot on the blackboard.

-It's you isn't it..? The boy from the news..right? You were r…
