Soldiers of Misfortune

Life is good

Levi POV
Two weeks. Today Eren gets his jaw unstuck. I had noticed he had lost weight. He so hadn’t answered my question on killing his father, the fucking bastard. I sat in the waiting room thumbing through a magazine. That’s when I saw them. It was Mikasa I spotted first. The woman walking with her looked so much like Eren, it couldn’t be anyone but his mother. My eyes narrowed on the tall man with them.
They walked into the room heading up to the desk. Before the lady could say anything, Eren walked out. He didn’t look towards his family. I stood meeting him halfway. With a smirk I pulled him down to kiss him. His arms wound around me, pulling me in tighter to his chest. The feel of his tongue slipping over mine was enough to make any normal person insane.
I wasn’t normal. I let him go, only slightly. I whispered in his ear. “I think your dads here.” It was like I shot him. His head snapped up, eyes darted around, I knew, without looking behind me, the exact moment they fell onto the man. Eren's hands clenched into fits on my sides. His entire body tensed.
“Relax, love, you’re not alone either.” I cooed. When those eyes dropped to me, he smirked.
“You promised me lunch.” He reminded me. I laughed.
“So, I did.” Ignoring the group at the counter we headed toward the door, arms locked around each other.
“Eren?” The woman called out. I shoved the door open.
“Eren Yeager, do not disrespect your moth…” his voice was cut off as the door closed. The traffic outside muffled anything more. Armin stood with his hand on Erwin's elbow. It looked like they had just arrived.
“Hey guys!” Eren called, right before I felt his body jerk back. I looked over my shoulder. The man had a hold of Eren's hood.
“You have exactly three seconds to let go, before I break that arm.” I hissed.
“Fuc…” my hand came up slamming into the man’s wrist. At the same time, I brought my other hand down. We all heard the bone break. I shoved Eren toward Erwin. A slow smile spread over my face as I gazed up at his shocked expression, through my eyelashes.
“Never was good with judging time.” I chuckled. “Touch my boyfriend again, and I will end you.” I shuffled a few steps back, gaining space.
“Boy boyfriend?” the woman stuttered. Her eyes, so much like her sons, darted over to him.
“Should have known he would date a thug.” His father spat cradling his arm.
“Well, what else was he going to meet in a school for criminal boys?” I shook my head. Deliberately I turned to face the trio waiting for me. I saw Erwin shift. Eren was already in control of his friend. Erwin's eyes weren’t following me.
“I wouldn’t, Mr. Yeager. Levi has never been known to give idol threats.” I chuckled.
“Mom, Mikasa, go away. I never want to see any of you again.” Eren turned to open the car door. I heard a stifled cry.
“You get in that car and you are dead t….” Eren spun swiftly.
“Why don’t you tell her the real reason I’m here? Tell her just who it was that paid people to bully me, to rape me.” His voice took on a cold note. “Tell her, Grisha, who tried to kill me, but instead blinded the one person who has always been at my side.” He stalked forward.
Placing a hand on his chest, I halted him. “I love you mom, but you took his side, so there is nothing more you can do.” Those long thin fingers curled around mine. He raised my hand to his lips, kissing my palm. “I love him. Him!” he emphasized. Was he looking at Mikasa? I couldn’t pull my eyes away from his. They were swimming in pain. It was killing me.
“Eren, get Levi in the car before he does something stupid.” Erwin warned. Eren chuckled, his lips curving upward.
“He does me, isn’t that stupid.”
“Fucking brat!” I hissed. He chuckled backing towards the car, pulling me along with him.
“I love you, Eren. Just the way you are.” Eren snorted.
“Well, mom, you have a lousy way of showing it.” I pushed him into the open door. Turning, I looked back at them. Mikasa was holding her mother’s hands. Grisha stood a step away, still holding his arm. My eyes roved over them all, before landing on the sister. I smiled, letting it slid over my face as I watched her.  Her body shivered; I blew her a kiss before sitting down beside Eren. Armin was in the front seat; Erwin started the car as I shut the door.
“So, that’s the family. I think it went well.” All eyes turned toward me. It was Eren who burst out laughing first.
“You’re such an ass!” Erwin called. I chuckled.
“I have a great ass!” I told him. Armin snorted, sounding like a pig. As Erwin pulled away, I looked at the huddled family. Knowing that they saw Eren leaving this encounter laughing with his friends, I waved.
Eren grabbed my hand, leaning over he kissed me. “How about we just keep driving? Don’t look back, let’s start our future now?" He asked.
“We can’t do that to them.” I nodded to the blonds in the front seat. Eren leaned back. “Fine,” He muttered. “They would be fine, if he vanished. Grandma and grandpa left her quite a bit of money. It is in a trust. She can only access it when she is no longer married to my father. But when I become of age...” He rolled his head on the back of the seat to look at me. “Once I’m eighteen, the money goes to me. Just another reason, dad wants me gone.” I smiled.
Grisha had less than eighteen months to meet his goal.  I would be waiting. We enjoyed that day. Eren ate so much we thought he would explode. It was great seeing him laughing and being normal for once. When we got back to the school, the police were there. Apparently, his father pressed charges. I snorted.
“Watch the video, he assaulted us first.” I stated. They did. None of us knew Erwin had Armin record it. I was talking about the security video. Erwin told the police, Eren's story. He even had the principal call Hange and Connie in. Both boys gave them all the information they had uncovered as to how Grisha had tried to pay people to kill his son.
“In a place like this, I’m sure he can find more idiots to tempt.” I told them. Grisha Yeager went under investigation after Eren spent an hour and a half talking to the police alone that day. He would only tell me that he told them everything. I was proud of him we went on with our lives.
In the months to come, we soon forgot about it all. Dancing, fucking and various other fun things kept us very busy. On the day of our big dance debut Eren's mother and sister showed up.
Eren and I walked together, hand in hand past the admin building. We had just come from one last practice of our paired dance. He was talking about the jump sequence and how he loved the fact I was so easy to lift. I snorted, looking away from him. That was when I saw them. I squeezed his hand. We froze looking up at them. His mother gripped her purse straps.
“Eren.” She breathed.
“Go away, I told you I never…”
“They arrested your father because of your lies.” She cried. Eren snorted.
“Armin's blindness is not a lie, Mrs. Yeager.” For all that I knew, that was the last time he spoke to either of them. They stayed to watch the competition, I knew because I had Connie and Sasha watching them.
Two weeks later it all came out. How Eren's father, a genetics doctor, used new cutting-edge technology to get his wife, pregnant. She had an illness when she was younger that left her infertile. Not even in vitro fertilization could help her for whatever reason. Grisha spent years researching how to make the prefect kid. With gene splicing and some other scientist bullshit I didn’t  pay attention to, he was able to create Eren.
When said creation turned out to be flawed, aka gay, he attempted to end his “experiment". His word for murdering his own son. Eren had no interest in the trail or anything to do with the man, I did. I wanted to learn about him. I watched every source I could about it. When it finally was over, he was sentenced. He would be placed in a maximum-security prison. Given only ten minutes a day on the internet, I scoffed at this. We all knew he could do a lot in ten minutes….
Six months after everything was done, Eren and the rest of us were seniors now. We had only a few more months to go before we were out on our own. One day we came back from our new hiding place in the woods to find the school on lock down. Several police cars were blocking the roads in and out of the school. No kids walked around. We looked at each other, as police officer saw us.
“Eren Yeager, Levi Ackerman, come with me.” He ordered.
“We didn’t do anything.” Eren stated.
“Your father…” Eren's knees buckled. I tried catching him. That was when I saw the dart.
“Get him to a hospital.” I yelled. My legs already carrying me away. It took me twenty minutes to locate where Grisha had vanished too. The fucking tower of all places. He was stuck though. They had taken the ladder down after Eren's last accident. I strolled up behind him.
“Today you will die.” He spun.
“You kill me and I won’t give you the antidote!” he crowed thinking he had bested me. I snorted.
“Please, anyone smelling that could tell.” I hissed out.
“It’s a …” his eyes darted around. They landed back on me. “ … genetically modified to only harm him.  Without the antidote he will die and there is nothing you can do about it.” His chin jutted out.
“Well, you’re right there, but lying about everything see. You see, I’m Levi Ackerman, Kenny's prodigy.” Watching the color drain from his face thrilled me. “Technically you didn’t touch him, but I don’t care, you intentionally harmed him. Today, you die.”
He had no time to react. I was on him a second later.  It was glorious beating the life out of him. I watched as every ounce of it drained from him. Before I slit his throat I whispered. “This is for ever turning on him, see you in hell…” The blood poured out over his clothing. I left him there to go wash up in the creek. It was two days before Eren's eighteenth birthday.
They found him two weeks later. No one was ever charged with his death. I don’t even know if they even investigated it. I was skilled with disposing of bodies. This one I made sure they would estimate death as after Eren's birthday. It worked.
Graduation came. Eren and I watched Armin and Erwin graduate with honors. No family was around for any of us, so we cheered for each other. Eren's mother tried to fight him getting the money, but since she never divorced his father, it didn’t matter when he died.
The day we left that school, Eren took us up to this place that over looked the town. With Armin and Erwin as witnesses he proposed to me. You bet your sweet ass I said yes. We built a home, a life in a place far from that world. A place that Kenny’s touch couldn’t reach us. Life was good for us.
I sipped my tea watching the sun come up over the ocean. Eren had bought a freaking island! Armin and Erwin lived in the only other house on it. His arms wrapped around me, leaning back I tilted my head up for his kiss. Life was great.
 
The end.
