At the tailor's - EruRi

Chapter 4

Erwin's POV

The afternoon on that day, I was already back at the HQ. No one noticed that I left. Exept for Mike... Who tought I had done stuff with Levi, knowing about my sexual orientation. He knocked at my door and without permission he stepped in. "Ne neeee, commander~ How was it?", he asked.

"How was what?", I asked.

"C'mon, don't tell me you stayed over at Levi Ackerman's place without doing anything at all!", he smirked.

"Well Mike, you may be surprised that I'm telling you, that I stayed at Levi's place and didn't do anything at all."

"You sure?"

"More than sure."

"I see... But don't you think he looks handsome?"

"Yeah, he really is handsome. And his tiny stature makes him extremely cute. But he's hella pale and I bet he is sick and can't do anything about it."

"You're right..."

"Mike, isn't there anything we can do to bring him to the surface?"

"There is no legal option... See you Erwin." Then mike left. There was no legal option... But illegal ones. I decided to wait and get to know Levi better first. I had really a lot of interesst in him. I hated the fact, that he was living down there. The tought that he was alone in that moment made me feel uncomfortable. I had a whole pile of stuff to read. I did so, and after that I packed some food in a bag and left to go pay Levi a visit. 
When I got there, I knocked at his door and he opened it for me. "Oh hey Erwin. Come in." 

"Hey Levi." I said as I got in. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks. What about you?" he asked as he closed the door and looked up to me. I loved the fact that he had to look up to me like that. He's was so cute. 

"I'm also good." Then I gave him the stuff I brought along to eat and he insisted on sharing it with me. Later I was looking at him while he sew fabric together. I really wanted to know stuff about him... So I asked: "How old are you?" He didn't look up from the sewing machine. He remained concentrated but still repiled. "I'm 19."

"Really? You look younger."

"Yeah, but I'm 19, no lies about it." He smiled a bit "What about you?"

"I'm 26. I'm quite old"

"Nah, 26 is not old at all, Erwin"

"If you say so... So you live from being a tailor only? Isn't it hard for you?"

"Oh no no...  have a second job..." Levi said while getting quieter...

"And that is...?"

There he stopped and looked at me. "Promise me, that you won't judge..."

"I promise." I said in a serious tone.

He sighed slightly and then looked away. "I have sex with men for money..."
I was shocked. He did what? He selled his body like that? I just couldn't believe that... But I understood that he had no choice if he wanted to live. For a while I didn't dare to say anything. I stared down as he kept sewing. "Then.. How do you feel about it, Levi?" I dared to ask.

"I can't say much Erwin. I hate that job. And if I could I would quit... It's not the fact that I have to do it with men. It's the fact that I have to do it with disgusting guys... I get all dirty for what? For nothing. All I get is 50 cent. Only 50 fucking cent. But you know what? If I quit they will kill me... Because thanks to me they got a lot of clients." Levi stopped sewing and I noticed that he was tearing up. "But maybe... you know... It's better to get killed than to live like this! I tought about it several times..."

"No Levi, don't throw away your life like this... We will find a solution!"

"WHAT SOLUTION??!! THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS!"He started yelling at me, while sobbing really hard. I got up and pulled him up, closer to me.

Levi's POV

He pulled me up really roughly. I tought he would beat me up. He seemed quite angry to me... When he actually wasn't... He just pulled me closer and kissed me. He... He kissed me... I just stood there wide-eyed as he did. But I also felt secure... He was holding me really tight. I closed my eyes, put my hands in his neck and just kissed back. It was beautiful...
He pulled me up while still kissing me and put my back against the wall. I wraped my legs around his waist. Then we broke the kiss and I stared at him with still tears in my eyes. "W-what was that?..." I asked. He whiped away my tears and smiled.

"You are beautiful Levi. I won't abandon you. I will look for a solution to get you out of this place..."

"But Erwin... We barely know each other... Why are you helping me?"

"Because I want you to be mine."
I didn't know what to do. I never was in a relationship... And I didn't know what love was. Aside from that.. How could it work between us? I'm here in the underground.. And there is no way to get me up there... Only money could do it. But I was sure that even Erwin as a commander didn't have that much money. "I don't know what love is, Erwin..."

"I'll teach you..." He smiled at me. I loved his smile... He was just so beautiful to me. I could feel my heart beating really fast. What was that feeling? "Kiss me again..." I begged.. Without hesitating he kissed me, putting even more passion in it. We just stood there, kissing each other for a long while. 
I wished, that moment would last forever.
