Mistaken Message (Levi x Eren)-

Not The Levi He Knew

"Levi. This isn't funny. I need to get home." Eren crossed his arms, did Levi think this was some kind joke? Keeping him trapped here?

"Eren we are meant to be. What if you had run into someone else on that street? What if you had run into someone who took one look at your beautiful eyes and wanted to hurt you? I don't want to hurt you Eren! I'm keeping you safe!" Levi's voice got a bit louder with every sentence, until he was yelling the last one. Levi truly believed every word he said. Eren couldn't leave. He would get hurt and Levi knew he couldn't live with himself knowing he could've kept the green eyed beauty safe.

"Levi. You're insane. You can't just keep me locked up in here! You're crazy! You're completely beyond saving! You can't lock people up Levi! It's a crime! I'll call the police!" Eren pulled out his phone, he was terrified, this wasn't the Levi he knew. This was some psycho and Eren had to escape.

Before he could even dial 911 Levi had tackled Eren to the ground, wrenching the phone out of his hand and throwing it across the room. Levi stood, dusting himself off, he reached a hand out to help Eren stand.

"Sorry, but I can't let you leave and get hurt." Levi looked torn, he needed to protect his green eyed beauty, and it pained him that the boy didn't seem to understand. It hurt even more when the boy refused his hand, getting up on his own.

"I don't need your help Levi." He looked to the side to see his phone broken on the ground, he had no escape. If he couldn't leave, Eren would convince Levi he could take care of himself. He crossed over to the couch in the living room, sitting down on it,

"Levi. People are going to notice I'm gone soon. I hope you realize that you're a fucking monster." Eren was furious, but he kept himself turned away from Levi. Eren knew that when he saw the hurt in Levi's eyes he would want to help the man. As long as Eren didn't feel bad for the man he knew he'd be able to remember that Levi couldn't be saved. He was insane.

Levi said nothing, sitting down beside Eren. He felt a bit guilty when he saw how angry Eren was, but Levi knew he'd grow to understand. Levi knew that one day Eren would see that this was meant to be. Levi was just protecting him. Levi refused to harm his green eyed beauty, one day Eren would see that. A few minutes of silence and Levi picked up the remote, turning on the tv, he pulled up Netflix.

"Eren. You can choose what we watch and then later we can talk about our new arrangements. Okay?" Levi hoped the boy would respond, he hated this silence, he wanted Eren to talk to him. He wanted Eren to love him. But, until he did Levi was willing to compromise. He would let Eren have a bit of freedom for now. But Eren stayed silent, and the silence was deafening. Levi had no idea how to get through to the boy.

"Or... Do you want to take some pictures?" Levi suggested, turning off the tv. He hoped that something that was obviously part of his routine would help cheer Eren up. But Eren stayed silent, standing up and going to the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. It was the only room where the locks hadn't been replaced so Eren managed to lock it from the inside.

He sat on the bed, staring at his hands. How could he have been so stupid? Mikasa had told him not to respond to that message. Mikasa had been right. He hoped Mikasa would call the police, and save him. For once in his life Eren was glad that Mikasa was overprotective, she would call the police and find him and save him. Eren just needed to make sure Levi didn't kill him before that happened. He looked up when there was a lock on the door.

"Eren please. Come out and we can talk. Don't leave me alone. I'm protecting you..." Levi's voice said from the other side of the door.

Eren sighed, standing up he unlocked the door. If he was going to survive, he had to get on Levi's good side. So for now, he would let Levi talk to him. He sat back down on the bed, looking away as Levi sat beside him.

"Eren. I'm sorry but I have to keep you safe. There are people out there who might want to hurt you. I promise I won't hurt you. I'm protecting you." Levi stated, completely sure that what he was saying was right.

"Levi. I know... You want to keep me safe." Eren didn't feel safe, not one bit, but he knew he could lie his way into Levi's good books. And that's exactly what he would do.

"Then please Eren... Come watch a movie with me. Don't be so distant. And then when you feel comfortable here we can go over rules." Levi sounded so hopeful, he really hoped this would work and Eren didn't feel even an ounce of pity. This Levi might be the real Levi, but Eren didn't care. This wasn't the Levi he knew. As he stood and walked to the living room to watch the movie the only thought in Erens mind was the hope that Mikasa would find him soon.

Mikasa POV

Mikasa looked up at the clock, a bit worried. It was almost noon and she hadn't heard from him at all. She knew that something had to be up. Maybe Eren had tried to come home last night and he had gotten kidnapped. Maybe Eren was hurt and he needed Mikasa. Maybe Eren was lying dead in a gutter and Mikasa could've saved him if she had just told him to come home earlier!

Mikasa shook her head, clearing her thoughts. It was insane to think like that. Eren just hadn't returned from his friends house. Eren was fine. He had to be fine. Eren was fine. Eren was completely fine. Fine. Fine. Fine.

Eren was fine.

The more Mikasa repeated that to herself, the less she believed it.
