Attack On Titan Fanfiction (Incomplete)

Chapter 17: Trust?

"I...I'm so...rry Levi..." Eren gasped, his face red with exhaustion, beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Hmph." Levi grabbed his arm forcefully again and started to tow the tired teen behind him through the alley. They got out the other side and Levi let go of Eren. Pulling up his red hood, Eren looked around, wondering where they were. They were in the rough part of town made of dark alleys and broken down buildings with smashed windows and bright graffiti sprayed down the walls. He squeaked slightly, standing close to Levi. The ravenette started to walk off and he scurried after him.

"L-Levi, do you know where we are...?"

"Of course I do brat, now shut up." Levi grumbled as he led him through. He really wished he didn't... "Stop looking so scared, you look like an easy target if you're weak round here." Eren frowned at his back, wondering how he knew all this stuff. "Stick close Jaeger." Eren had no problem doing that, he had the anger and determination in him to do anything if he was motivated by something, but that didn't stop him being scared. He stuck close to Levi and screamed when someone grabbed him by the arm. Levi yanked him away and they carried on. Eren's whole body was shaking with fear and cold as they went through the damp streets. It stunk of pee, vomit and cigarettes. The smell was overwhelming and he felt sick at every breath that swirled through his nostrils.

"Oi, Ackerman!" A deep voice called and Eren carried on following Levi. His heart thumped in his chest as a tall man walked over to Levi, his clothes dirty and worn. He was about Levi's age - no, actually he looked a bit older, but only by a few years - and he knew Levi's name. "You're back! Haven't seen you in years!" He said before mumbling something incoherent to Levi. To Eren's surprise Levi mumbled something back to him. The man had dark, dishevelled brown hair, drenched in grease and he was starved looking. He stunk of cigarettes. Eren's heart felt like it was in his mouth and he shivered even more, what was going on? He looked at Levi's back in fear, was Levi part of a gang or something?

"You still owe me that money Levi, am I ever going to get it? I mean, you are at college now so I know you have money, it's not like you can't afford it anymore..."

"Yes Klein you idiot, I'll get it for you when I can..." He grumbled. "Now go away."

"No, you need a home welcome. Oi everyone, Ackerman's back!" The man yelled and a quite a few people whooped in reply, their voices echoing around the dark alleys, the stench of weed strong. Levi rolled his eyes. He could hear Eren's erratic breathing behind him, he sounded terrified. He sounded like he was having a panic attack so Levi turned around to face the shivering teen who looked like he was going to vomit at any second.

"It's ok, Eren. Come on." Levi said firmly. It was important that Eren calmed down here, or people would take advantage of his weakness. He slowed down slightly so that he was beside Eren, hoping that it would make him feel safer and hopefully intimidate people too much to touch him, but Eren looked more terrified than ever. Had Levi planned to bring him here? What were these people going to do to him? Some hands grabbed him and tears spilled from his eyes as he shrieked. Levi punched the hands away hard. The females that had grabbed Eren cackled with laughter, they reeked of stale drink.

"Oh come on Levi, have a little fun!" One of them laughed while taking a swig from a bottle, but Levi glared at them and pulled Eren after him. "Have a homecoming celebration! I'll pay ya to give me your friend for the night!"

"Phew, you turned out good Levi!" One of the girls eyed him up and down. "How about you and your friend stay with us tonight, sort of a treat for your home welcome!"

"I'll have Levi, you can have the boy!" One called and laughed. "Fit as!"

"Aw, bless, that kid's so cute! He's one of them privileged kids ain't he, never been to a place like this in his life!" One with long, dirty blonde hair called.

"So sweet, he looks scared! Come on cutie, join the fun!" Eren felt a hand slap his butt and yelped in fear, making the girls laugh again. The one that had hit him had brown hair and was wearing only a belly top and filthy short shorts. "How much would ya pay for some, sweetie? It'd be good, I promise ya..." She said huskily, her voice dripping with lust even though she was clearly drunk. They were obviously practiced at this, they were prostitutes.. drunk and high ones. Eren's face was pale and he stumbled away, his heart smashing into his ribs uncontrollably. They were about 17 and stunk of weed and alcohol. Eren had absolutely no idea where he was, how to get back, who any of these people were or whether to trust Levi anymore! What was gong to happen? He looked like he was going to pass out, he looked dizzy and terrified out of his wits. Levi dragged Eren after him, away from the females. They wolf whistled behind the two as Levi pulled him away.

"Eren listen to me, it's ok, we're nearly out of here..." He reassured him but Eren didn't trust him anymore. Tears streamed from his eyes and he looked around frantically, looking for a way to run. He started sprinting off and Levi ran after him after cursing under his breath.

"Not that way Eren!" He grabbed the teen and he struggled in his grip. "Eren, you need to calm do-"

"GET OFF ME!" Eren screamed in panic, a crowd were starting to gather to watch the show.

"For fucks sake, Klein help me!" Levi yelled at the man who was still with them. Eren felt dizzy and his vision swirled, his upper lip tingling, his breathing all wrong. He was hyperventilating. Levi caught him as he fainted and tried to shake him awake. "Eren you idiot, you can't do that here! Klein, help me get this idiot out of here! I hate this fucking place! I hate being back here, I never wanted to see it again!"

(A/N:) Ok, so we're getting some of Levi's past in here now, hope you are enjoying reading!
