High School Casualties (Boyxboy)

Chapter 12

Levi stood up and stretched. He had been sitting in a hospital chair for the last few hours. He crossed the room and held his hands over the heater as he looked through the little slits in the blinds. The day was dark and gloomy. Rain pelted the cars in the parking lot below the window. Levi let out a sigh and looked over at the sleeping and beat up body of his lover. Beside him was little wrapped get well soon cards and gifts that people had left for him. They never bothered to wake him though and Levi wished they did. He wanted to see Eren's beautiful eyes and his contagious smile. Really though, if Eren smiled it was nearly impossible to not smile with him. Levi turned his gaze back to the rain. People rushed from cars to the building and back again. Couples with umbrellas could be seen walking around on the sidewalks. The occasional ambulance. Levi sighed again. He walked to the door and slowly opened it. He looked up and down the hallways but he couldn't see anyone. He stepped out of the room and walked to the elevators. He looked up at the map of the building and searched for the cafeteria. It was located on the floor below him. He reached into his back pocket and opened up his wallet. He had a nice wad of cash so he hit the down button and got in. The shorter man stood on the side and hoped that the trip wouldn't last that long because he didn't want to worry Eren. The doors opened up into the cafeteria and Levi stepped out. There was a salad bar, hot food, baked goods, fruit, and drinks. He picked up a tray and placed a plate of salad on it. Then he moved on and put some ravioli and brownies on his tray. He made himself a cup of tea and then proceeded to check out. The lady gave him the price and he pulled out the money. He didn't notice the piece of paper that fluttered out of his pocket until the cafeteria worker pointed it out to him. He handed her the money and reached down to grab it.

Leave him alone or next time he dies

Levi stared at the small slip of paoer that held so much meaning in his hand and slowly started walking towards the elevator. Thoughts ran through his mind.

'How did it get there? When did it get there? Who put it in there? Does this mean Eren? Who's going to die? Do I listen to this? Why would someone put this in my pocket? Did they do it while I was sleeping? I better go check on him and make sure he's okay.'

He stood and waited for the elevator to stop on his floor and when the doors opened he got in. There was a man in there who looked friendly enough but Levi stood a comfortable distance away. The doors closed and he hit the floor number.

"Who are you here for?" the man asked.

Levi was surprised at the gruffness of his voice.

"Umm.. My boyfriend. You?"

The man stood silently for a little bit before lurching over at Levi and hitting him. The raven haired man fell to the floor and before he could return anything the man was kicking and hitting him. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. The man threw Levi out and hit the close button.

"Stay away from him." was heard before it shut.

A passing by nurse saw what had happened and called for help. Several nurses ran over and started patching Levi up.

"Sir, can you tell us what happened?" one of them asked.

"I was getting food. When I took my wallet out this paper fell out. I don't know what to think of it. I paid for my food and got on the elevator. That man asked me who I was here to see and I told him I was here for my boyfriend. He didn't say anything and then beat me up. Right before the doors closed he told me to stay away."

The nurses looked at each other. Two got up. One headed for the phone to call the police and the other headed to Eren's room to see if he was still alive. Shortly after the nurse had called, the doors by the stairs burst open and two police men entered the hallway.
