Lost to the Long Rain (Eren X Levi)

Memories of You

" Eren, are you still working on that painting of the colossal titan?" Armin stood in the doorway of my room his hair pulled back into a medium length ponytail, an oversize shirt and slitly torn blue jeans. His eyes followed my hand in rythm with the brush strokes. " Actually I guess you could say finished painting." I got up from my chair and stepped back a few  to admire my work. Smiling to myself I turned to face Armin. " Well what do you think of it? I know its not completely right but its only what I see in my dreams. By the way where is Mikasa?" Before really finishing my sentence the blond had pushed past me to get a personal inspection. "Mikasa is downstairs talking to her manger about a raise but Eren this is absolutely amazing I only remember bits and pieces of the Titan but it looks perfect to me!" Armin smiled brightly and nodded his head in enthusiasm. "Are you going to put this painting with the rest?" I looked over to where other drawings and paintings had either been hung or set along the wall.

One painting in particular catches my eye, a man with raven black hair in the style of an undercut stood in uniform. His delicate pale skin looked almost unrealistic and cold grey eyes made my heart skip a beat. " You still think about Captain Levi don't you?" Armin calmly spoke out but it was still enough to startle me. "Yea, I wish we could find him in this life." Armin patted me on the back as in a way to comfort me. " All these years I thought I was losing my mind, even my family told me I was crazy. It turned out only to be bad memories from a life I can't really put all together. Armin I'm glad I found you and Mikasa without you both I think I would have actually went crazy." Tears formed down my cheeks. " Eren you can't guarantee that everyone will remember so don't expect finding ever to be easy. You can guarentee that me and Miskasa will help you find Levi and everyone else. So believe and trust us." I wiped the tear streams off my my cheeks and looked at Armin to give him a reassuring smiling. " I understand what you mean and I will." Smacking Armin on the shoulder he playfully pushed me in return we made our way down the stairs to see and almost overly worked Mikasa at the kitchen table with her head tilted to the side against the table. " Mikasa what's wrong?" I asked worriedly. " My boss said he no longer controls whether I get a raise or not at the office because he is hiring a new manager to take his place while he goes on vacation. We are short handed enough around there so it makes it harder to do paperwork when there is none around to do it." A loud sigh was heard after, sitting down beside her I rubbed my hand gently atop her head. " How about I start working there and help you? I mean I haven't had a job in a while, I'm 22 and I think its time I start doing more other than just getting paid to clean yards or selling paintings. This way I can make a bigger paycheck and help out more and maybe get my own place as well." Mikasa raised her head and Armin stared in surprise. "Eren its up to you , if you want to, you can ride with me tomorrow to fill an application in for a placement in the office." Swallowing hard, I smiled "Thank you Mikasa. What time should I get up?"
Pushing her chair back she looked at the clock and whispered to her self 8:43PM "Be ready by 6:30AM and make sure you look nice." She scanned what I was wearing and shook her head in disapproval. "You are such a child sometimes Eren." Standing up and I looked down to my attire which consisted of a tight black shirt with paint splatters covering the front half and a pair of grey jogging pants that practically hung on my hips that also had paint smudges here and there. " Fine I'll go take a shower its not ever that messy." Giggling Mikasa started up the stairs "Goodnight you two see you in the morning!" Armin waved her off to bed and mad his way to the hallway to go to bed as well. "Night!"

After a nice hot shower I changed into my boxers and made my way to my bed. Taking a deep breath I rolled over and fell a sleep.
