Levi grasped Eren's hips and ground him down onto his cock. He felt himself slipping. "Oh...god!"

Green eyes fixed on his, a small smile tugging at his lips as he squeezed rhythmically around the man. "Mmm, I'm right behind you, baby. "

At those words, Levi harshly sucked in his breath and arched his back, the top of his head cushioned by the pillows against the walls. His body shook and his hands clutched at Eren. His orgasm unfolded inside of him, an intense, focused incision of bliss. Squeezing his eyes shut, Levi's mouth opened into a perfect "O," his body falling over the edge, blooming into a slow and steady melting of gold.

Above him, Eren reached forward and steadied himself on the wall. Watching Levi climax, Eren felt his shaking, searing heat split through him. He tilted his hips downward, rubbing his cock between their bodies and oh, his orgasm ripped through him. One arm still flexed against the wall before him, his head tipped back, and a mouth breathed out a soft whimpering. Breathing hard, his body, limp and heavy, fell into Levi's arms.

Their chests rose and fell together, and Levi tentatively lifted his hand to collect Eren's long strands, letting his nails scratch kindly at his skin. "Okay?"

Eren turned his head towards him. "Okay?" He grinned. "I'll never be okay again."

Levi blurted out laughter and held his hair in a makeshift ponytail. "You're so dramatic."

The boy nodded and hummed his laughter. "Maybe, but that dick. When you leave me you'll need to make a mold of it...you know those make-your-own-dildos?"

Levi frowned and gently tugged on Eren's hair to get his attention. That and the lack of laughter brought Eren's face back to him. Seeing the look on Levi's face his heart stalled. "What, what did I say?"

The crease in the man's forehead lightened. He'd watched Eren's face go from relaxed happiness to guarded anxiety in an instant. "Nothing...just kiss me."

Eren's face relaxed, but his eyes held ghosts. He pushed a smile onto his face. "Well, hell." He rubbed their noses together. "I could do that forever."

As Levi moved to pull the boy underneath him, he heard a stone within him fall into the deep water. The hidden reservoir inside. He shuddered into a kiss, easy to hide, and distracted himself with candy.

Levi scrabbled together his own anxiety and stuffed it inside him. To hear Eren express his abandonment so unconsciously really shook him. For now, he just wanted both of them to hide in each other. Plenty of time for stark reality to find them in the daylight. Tonight, darkness was their friend.

Levi swam up into consciousness to the sound of rain beating hard against the window. The rivulets of water ran down the glass and distorted the shadows against the wall. Thunder rolled through the night sky for the third time this week.

He sniffed and turned his head on the pillow, wanting to see Eren's face when he slept. There was only an empty space...a soft indention from the boy's head left behind.

He sat up, the crisp sheets sliding down to his waist, and glanced at the clock. Three A.M. Had he left again? Disappointment sat like a stone in his chest. Lightning lit up the room, revealing Eren's clothes still crumpled by the door. There was no sound in the apartment. Nothing in the bathroom. He frowned and tried to put the pieces together when a tiny sound came from the side of the bed.

Levi stretched to jut his chin over the edge. There on the wood floor, with his knees pulled up to his chest and wrapped in his arms, lay the boy in only his underwear, his forehead pushed against the wall.
