The Eren and Levi Project

Pretending (Stripper)

Dedicated to satanic_ritual for being one of my favorite followers! Love you baby girl!

Eren is sitting at the bar of "Survey Me", the strip club that Erwin owns, once more.

He hasn't seen Levi in two weeks, since they made the deal, and to be honest, it was killing him. Those marks that Eren found on Levi's arms were bugging him. He wanted to know who was hurting Levi and why.

Eren is pulled out of his slump by the sound of someone sitting next to him. He looks over to see a man in his mid thirties, but not bad looking at all.

"What's got you down beautiful? Girl done you wrong?"

The voice is deep and attractive, something Eren could get used to. He blushes and shakes his head.

"Nope. A fellow done me wrong." He says, playing along, causing the stranger to chuckle.

"Well baby, I can fix that if you want." He says and calls the Hanji, the bartender, over. "Two of your strongest please. We got a fellow done wrong here." He finishes with a wide gesture aimed at Eren.

Hanji looks confused. "Eren? What happened?" She doesn't get the drinks, just perches on the counter rubbing Eren's back.

The soothing motion makes Eren want to cry. Suddenly he's telling her everything, how he slept with Levi, how they became secret lovers, how he saw the marks , and how Levi has been ignoring him.

Then the man who has been listening to Eren cry, pulls him away from the bar and into a private room on the side of the club. He pushes Eren onto the couch there and sits next to him.

"My poor baby boy. Don't worry, I'll fix it." He puts his hand on Eren's thigh.

Hanji is frantically searching the club for Levi when she runs into Erwin. Hearing Eren tell her about the marks on Levi didn't surprise her. She knows that Erwin is rough with his partners. She's had to go and pick Levi up from his house with a broken nose more than once.

"Hanji? Why aren't you tending the bar?" He asks angrily

"I'm looking for Levi! Have you seen him?!" She cries frantically

"He just went  into the private room over there to take a quick nap, why?"

Hanji practically screams when she realizes that he went into the rooms with Eren and that man.

Meanwhile

"God I'm so fucking tired." Levi mumbles and opens the curtain to the private room.

He makes a small sound in his throat at the sight of some older man forcibly kissing his Eren while groping along his chest.

Levi hears Hanji shout at him from behind, but all he can see is red. He shoves the man on the ground and repeatedly punches him in the head.

"Listen hear you sick fuck, that boy is mine. And you keep your hands off. Or I will cut them off and mail them to your wife." Levi cries while continuing to punch the man. The only thing that stops him in Eren's hand on his shoulder.

Levi then realizes that the man is bleeding a lot and a small crowd had gathered.

"Levi please. Take a deep breathe." Eren whispers, pulling the man into his arms. Levi let's him and buries his face in his shoulder. They sit like that for 15 minutes while Erwin closes the club early.

"What the fuck was that Levi?! Huh?!" Erwin yells at the shorter man, who stands in front of him.

"He was practically raping Eren, Erwin. What was I supposed to do?"Levi demands, drawing himself up to his full height.

Hanji and Eren sat by the bar quietly and observed the conflict.

"He was our best customer! I don't give a fuck what he was doing!"

"You old sadistic fuck! I wasn't going to let him hurt an innocent kid just because you like to surround yourself with perverts!" Levi shouts and Erwin turns bright red.

"Levi don't you dare talk to me like that!"

"What the fuck Erwin! Fuck you! You want me to let Eren - perfectly lovely boy, get molested by some fucking-"

Crack

Levi flew onto the floor behind him, a large, angry red handprint on his face.

Erwin pants and shakes out the hand he just used to slap Levi.

"You will never talk to me like that again Levi. Do you understand?" His voice is scarily quiet and he approaches Levi darkly.

Levi, who has just been laying on the floor with tears in his eyes, stands up and looks Erwin in the face.

"Fuck you!"

There was another large crack and Levi gripped his cheek again.

Erwin repeats his question, but this time Levi just nods meekly. Erwin seems satisfied and takes Levi by the arm outside.

Eren and Hanji share a fearful look.

They won't be talking to Levi for a while.
