you flash before my eyes (ErenxLevi) [completed]

Fresh cuts

I forgot to mention but Levi is seventeen.

Levi POV:

As I lied there awake, scrolling through my phone, I started to feel very light-headed, "shit, why at a time like this?" I groaned and got off my bed. I went to my bathroom to get some pills for my insomnia when I suddenly collapsed. 

I saw a tall brunette with gorgeous tanned skin and his lips had a slight red tint to them. His eyes were closed but momentarily flickered open to show beautiful emerald green eyes. It seems weird that he was all sprawled as if he got hit since under that white T-shirt  I could see the edge of his toned stomach. 

He was lying on the floor next to some glass. I cringed at the thought of being there next to all those germs.

As I watched closely I groaned sarcastically. "Out of all the people in the world I could've gotten paired up with, I just had to get Eren fucking Jaeger." 

wait, why did I just compliment him and his body. I'm supposed to hate him. Not love him. Get a grip on yourself Levi. You're an emotionless person. You do not love anyone but your mother Kuchel Ackerman.

As I got up I went through my cabinet to find a small knife hidden away. I went to pick it up and started cutting two X's onto my forearm for loving someone else. I learned the hard way ever since I learned that my father had been abusing my mother and making her do everything for him.

 I always thought that my family would always have a happily ever after ending and that we would have a carefree life. But I was so fucking wrong. 

flashback

As I snuck into my parents' bedroom I immediately looked for a hiding spot that would fit a 10-year-old short boy. I looked around and hid under their bed. I waited patiently and giggled at the thought of them. A few minutes later I heard my parents coming into their room. And I went dead silent. 

My father closed the door and then grabbed my mother by the hair And started shouting at her.

I gasped quietly seeing how my mom was obviously in pain. When I looked closely I saw that she had a few bruises going up her arm. And a deep cut across her cheek.

Now I couldn't help it, I started crying silently, thinking of all the great times my parents and I used to have. Not knowing at all about my mother's condition, and just taking it lightly when she told me that it was just an accident in the kitchen. 

I waited a bit more until my father left and crawled to my mother who was lying on the floor after getting slapped by that traitor. 

"mom are you ok" she turned around shocked and terrified that I saw the whole thing.

"yes, Levi I'm ok." as I tried to lift her up I demanded that she will stay in my bedroom so that I could protect her from that monster. 

We walked around the mansion to my bedroom, I started to despise the whole place. When we entered my bedroom. I helped my mother onto the bed where she would rest. "thank you, Levi" she smiled softly "I love you". "love you too, mom" I tried to say happily. 

The only thing that was in my mind was to throw everything away. I couldn't afford to take another glance at all the stuff that my father had given me just to distract me from what he did to my mother. 

End of flashback

I look at what I was doing and saw that my hand was in a little puddle of blood. I went under the sink to get some wipes when suddenly I remembered "shit why the hell didn't I take off my shirt." I grunted. I took off my shirt to reveal on my back there was a tattoo of a pair of wings. 

Ever since i got that tattoo I have found some sort of freedom from my father and I will continue that freedom. 

I washed off all the dry blood and went to bed. Should I really be loving him. I guess we will find out tomorrow. I soon started to drift into a restless sleep.
