Alternate version of the mini story "stalker"
Erwin's POV
Hanji and Miche pass a bowl of weed around the circle as we all talk. Moblit's face retorts and he passes the bowl to me. I plan on driving home so I pass it on to the new addition of our group.
Levi. He's pretty chill. I like him, he's not too pushy or annoying. He's quiet. He hit it twice before coughing and passing it on. I patted his back slightly as he recovered from his harsh cough.
( i accidentally wrote cock instead of cough and i wanna kms now )
I look outside as the sun begins to set and stand up, wiping my clothes down for no reason in particular.
"I'm gonna head home, it's getting dark." I say.
"Yeah, me too." Levi adds, standing up with me.
Hanji and Miche cooed "oo" and nudged eachother with their shoulders.
"Get your minds out of the gutter, weirdos." Levi rubs his nose while he speaks.
We walk out of Hanji's house together and go our seperate ways. I cant help but feel slightly concerned that he's walking home.
"Levi!" I call out.
He spins around and looks at me, his eyebrow raised. I hesitate slightly, not wanting to invite a stranger in my car.
"Do...you need a ride home?" I asked.
He shook his head and continued walking. I had a bad feeling in my gut but brushed it away and got in my car. I pulled out of the parking spot and began driving home. I checked my mirror one last time as Levi dissapeared around a corner.

I practically teleported to Hanji's house as soon as I read their message. I had barely woken up and wasn't wearing a shirt. Hanji was hyperventilating by the time I arrived as Moblit held them with a pale look on his face. There were cops with notepads questioning them.
"Hanji, what's going on??" I asked in a rushed tone.
"Le-..vi he- he-" They sobbed and trembled, barely getting the words out.
"Levi. The short kid. He was kidnapped last night after you two left." Miche said. Hanji seemed to cry even harder at Miche's harsh words of reality.
"What?!" I shouted, shutting the door.
This is all my fault. If only I insisted he got inside my car he would be safe right now. I could've prevented this. Sweat prickled at my forehead as a cop approached me.
"We're gonna need to question you, son." He grabbed my arm and dragged me outside.

"What time did you leave yesterday?"
"Around 7:40. I don't know, but I got home at 7:55." I replied.
"Mind if we check your vehicle?"
"I didn't bring it. I ran here out of urgency." I was still breathing heavily.
"I see. Do you know anything about his whereabouts?"
"No. Just met the kid a few days ago. All I know is hes a childhood friend on Hanji's."
He nodded as he jotted notes down on his notepad. He told me to go home and that they would deal with it. Looked me up and down and then walked back inside the house.
I decided to walk back home but still, my heart hurt for Levi. He seems like the strong type and can hold out against a few cuts and bruises but you never know.
Levi's POV
"Get the fuck away from me you psycho!" I scream in the face of the masked man.
His mask was disgusting and resembled a human face. Judging by the smell, it is most likely human skin. He burned a mark into my side last night with a hot rod after he knocked me down and dragged me here.
Flashback
I puffed my cigar as I rounded the corner and gasped as a man stood there creepily. He smiled warmly at me and I blew smoke in his face.
"Can I help you?"
No response. He slowly began raising his hand and I backed away consciously. He pulled out a handgun and I dropped my cigar to the floor. I swallowed, hard and put my hands up.
He smirked as he reached for my arm. I knocked him back and kicked his gun out of his hand. He grunted and grabbed my ankle as I ran for it. I fell down and groaned as my face hit the concrete, hard.
I pawed for the gun desperately but another person stepped on my hand and I moaned in pain as I retreated it to my chest. The man twisted my ankle and I screamed a blood curtling scream.
"Help!! Someone help me! Hanji!" I hollered.
Nothing. My mouth was covered by a meaty hand and I could feel the tears prick at my eyes as I was dragged to who knows where. I passed out from pain.
I took in my surroundings. Some kind of butcher's kitchen or whatever. I cant tell. The man traced my face with the back of his knife and giggled.
"Pretty boy." His voice was scratchy.
I'm damn near terrified. I should've just gotten in Erwin's car. I could feel a panic attack creeping up and tears spilled from my eyes.
I breathed heavily as reality set in. My ankle began to ache again and I just cried. This is it. This is how I die. I closed my eyes and just repeated the word 'no'. Wanting it all to dissapear.
My mind wandered to Erwin and his charming tone. His charming face. How he was always concerned for me. I calmed down after a while and regulated my breathing.
"Fuck you." I cursed under my breath as the man grinned a toothy smile. He left and I hung my head low.
Erwin's POV
I tucked a few weapons into my bag as well as water bottles, gasoline, matches and granola bars. "We'll find him" my fucking ass. Cops are useless. I'll find Levi on my own. I tucked a small, but sharp knife into the corner of my backpocket just in case everything goes wrong and I end up kidnapped aswell.
I grabbed my car and pulled off, driving to where I last saw Levi. I didn't have many leads or any idea where I was going, I was just following my heart.
My car cant fit in the alleyway that Levi last was before he dissapeared so I parked it on the side and got out. I locked my car and shoved my keys in my jacket pocket.
I walked around slowly, my backpack slung around my shoulder and a large steaknife in my hand. I yelped as a man rounded the corner and smiled warmly at me.
"Oh fuck, you scared the shit out of me." I cursed, breathing heavily.
The man laughed slightly and patted my shoulder.
"Sorry, kid."
"You're fine. I'm jus-"
"That's not why I'm sorry." He cut me off.
"Pardon me?"
"I'm sorry for this."
"Sorry for what??" I was getting frustrated at this point.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and I fell to my knees. I clutched my hair in my hands as I moaned in pain. Then everything went dark.
