Cross (Incubus!Eren)

A/N: Ready for the last 100 chapters?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Levi's been staying inside the church later and later lately.

He's afraid.

The religion he's been learning since he was born tell him this is wrong. He will go to hell for the sin of lust, and especially lusting for a creature of hell. He's no longer a virgin.

He still has dreams about how hot that tan skin was.

He thought briefly about castration but then a small voice in the back of his head starts telling him other things. Why would God create humans to feel at all if they weren't allowed one of life's greatest pleasures? 

Moderation is key, right? And it's not like he's devoted all his time to masturbating or anything.

The biggest problem seems to be his partner.

Levi stares up at the cross about the pulpit. "Eren," he whispers.

The door to the cathedral creaks slightly, Levi turns abruptly. "Father Levi," a meek voice calls.

Levi tries to reign his emotions back in. He clears his throat and stands. "Sister Petra," he says. "How can I help you?"

The young nun stays in the doorway. "I've noticed how much time you've been spending in here," she says. "More than usual. I was wondering if you were alright."

He nods. "Just fine," he replies. "Go back to bed."

"You should go as well," she says, her eyes look nervous somehow and it makes Levi uncomfortable.

"I will soon, go."

Petra clutches her necklace. "Father, I–"

"Yes?"

Her eyes are full of purpose as she stares at him. "I know what you did, Father, with that strange man. I came to speak to you but found you were with someone else so I waited and then..." She pulls off her veil, revealing long strawberry blonde hair. 

It occurs to Levi for just a moment that this woman is young enough to still have natural color in her hair. "I want to leave the church, Father."

He stares at her for a moment. "What brought this on, child?"

She stares at her feet, wringing her veil in her hands. "After what I saw that night, I've been thinking that being here isn't really for me. The path of God is... not wrong, but hard," she says. "I do not wish to stay here if it means I cannot experience what you have, sir."

"Very well," he says. "Do you have a place to go? I'm sure I can spare some of the church's funds–"

She smiles softly. "No sir," she says. "I'll be going back home, to live with my parents. Before I came to the nunnery I was betrothed to the son of their friend, I hope he's still waiting for me."

Levi nods. "Just know you always have a home here," he says.

She nods and leaves the room. Levi sighs.

He looks back up at the cross. If that's not a sign that this is alright, he doesn't know what is.

He prays for Eren.

In a puff of gold smoke, the man appears, perched on the cross hanging above the pulpit. "Evening, Father," Eren says.

Levi stands and stares at the other man. He reaches out one hand for him.

In another puff of smoke, the man appears directly in front of Levi and pulls him into a heated, rough kiss by his outstretched hand. As Eren's tongue snakes into his mouth, Levi marvels at how sweet he tastes. He never wants the kiss to end.
