Levi entered the bedroom first, Erwin right behind him. Their breaths were heavy and fast, mixed with the tension of earlier making out and the anxious feeling that settled down in their stomachs. Levi was trying to remember what he was doing in the morning on a short way to the bedroom. Was it possible for him to leave the lights on and the door unlocked? The alcohol in his body made his headache and hard to think about the morning. He woke up early as always, having time for coffee and a shower. It was a morning like every other, he was sure that he closed the door.
Levi wasn't afraid now as he was going to the oddly lit room where it never happened before. He wasn't scared of what could he see, he was just curious. Levi saw too many things in his life for something to scare him anymore. He wouldn't be surprised to see his bed turned over, a broken window, or blood on the walls.
For his cloudy mind, it all was happening too fast, and there he was in an empty room. The bed was untouched, smoothed without any wrinkle, no footsteps, no foreign presence, the window closed, lamp on. Levi went to the lamp and turned it off looking around.
His brows furrowed. Everything seemed to be in place but-
Nightstand.
Levi gulped, too quiet for Erwin to hear, taking his eyes off the nightstand as he heard Erwin shifting on his legs behind him.
"So," Erwin starts breaking the odd silence "Is everything alright?"
Levi turned to him, he calmed his gaze then shifted it reflectively to nothing in particular.
"Yeah, sure," He said fast, they both didn't feel any less confused or light.
There is a short moment of silence and they both wanted to break it at the same moment but eventually, Levi cuts Erwin off.
"You know," he started "I'm feeling like throwing up,"
When Levi gave Erwin that bored expression his gaze shifted away from his face, wandering around the room, making sure that it was all alright and Levi will be safe even when it was his first time in here. Of course, he was in Levi's house once or twice but he never saw his bedroom. Levi always likes to keep his privacy. Black and white were predominant, the big bed in the middle of the room looked like Levi ironed the sheets in the morning. The contrast between white, clean things and dark additions were matching Levi as a person. Erwin liked it here wishing to keep him company.
His gaze came back guardedly to Levi's face. He seemed less drunk as if something cleared his mind now, he could even stand on his own feet now and Erwin didn't know what to say anymore. He made a face at him. Feeling the pressure of Levi's gaze that was almost throwing him out the door he left.
Levi locks the doors immediately and goes back to the bedroom. Nightstand. The key was in it, he turned it right but it didn't move so he opened the drawer. Empty.
Fuck.
His gun was missing.
He went to the living room, and kitchen, but nothing. Nothing was touched except the drawer. It was locked with a key and the key was hidden under the lamp, maybe it wasn't the best place to put a gun but Levi never was reckless and he never thought someone will find it. His senses were always good, and never let him down but now he felt no presence and something was wrong.
While opening the door to the garden he felt something at his back. His fist clenched on the handle seeing the reflection on the glass doors.
"Took you a while to finally visit me,"
Levi spoke, his voice-controlled.
The gun was pressed against his back and he could feel the other man smirking. Levi knew that one day he will be released from prison but he didn't wait for his visit. Or thought he wouldn't find him.
