What Was Broken

Chapter Ten

"Irwin Smith," Levi growled, fists clenching at his sides. Irwin stepped forward slightly, allowing the sun to shine on his face. A cruel smirk was there, a look that he had won on his face.

"Hello Levi," Irwin purred, pressing the gun harder into Eren's head. Eren made a soft whimper noise, terrified out of his mind. Levi took a step towards them, freezing when Irwin rested his index finger on the trigger.

"Ah, ah, ah, Levi. You don't get to come any closer. Unless, of course, you want your little slut to die," Irwin chuckled evilly. Levi's face spoke murder, but he stayed where he was.

"Why don't you fight me like a man instead of using a gun to threaten an innocent bystander?" he growled, the feeling of helplessness creeping up his spine.

"Oh Levi, you know he isn't that innocent. Besides, you seem to care much more about his life than your own. Why would that be, hm? Is he the college lover you could never forget? Or is he the suicidal brat you took pity on?" Irwin's face showed no emotion as he removed one of Eren's arms from its bond. Eren didn't dare struggle for fear of getting shot. Irwin tugged up his sleeve to show of the small white scars. "Now Levi, did you know about these? Were they there before you fucked him or are they the result of you leaving like the bastard you are?"

Levi's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't known about the scars. He didn't remember them from before. Bitter guilt and anger at himself made bile rise in Levi's throat. "Eren... " he breathed. Tears leaked from Eren's eyes behind the blindfold. His breathing was ragged through his snotty nose. He sobbed something that vaguely sounded like Levi's name. The sound made Irwin snarl. He rebound Eren and shook him.

"Shut up!" Irwin hissed, making Eren's sob louder than before. More tears soaked his blindfold. Irwin cuffed him and nearly knocked him over. "I said SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he bellowed in Eren's ear. Levi clenched his jaw, unable to do anything without risking Eren's safety. Eren's whimpers and sobs softened to heavy breaths through the gag. Irwin smirked in satisfaction.

"Irwin, you son of a bitch, I swear-" Levi began before Irwin cut him off.

"Hush levi, I'm not finished. You care about this one, right? I mentioned the cutting... hmm where was I? Oh! That's right, you love this boy to death for many reasons! Is it his lovely eyes, his hot body? Or is it the fact that he's carrying your child?" Irwin began to laugh at the expression of horror on Levi's face.

"Who the fuck told you that?!" Levi shouted, hands beginning to tremble in desperation to rescue Eren. Irwin kneeled down, gun still pressed to Eren's temple. He lifted up the brunette's shirt and locked eyes with Levi.

"Hello there, baby. My name is Irwin. I'm looking at your bastard father right now and- EREN STAY THE FUCK STILL OR I WILL BLOW YOUR GODDAMN HEAD OFF!" Irwin flipped his shit when Eren tried squirming away from the vulgar blonde. Levi's eyes widened when he saw the gun move slightly away from Eren, enough that if the gun fired, it wouldn't kill him. He saw his chance and reacted without hesitation, running straight at them with speed he never knew he had. Levi had always been faster than anyone else, but he became faster for Eren and his baby. He launched himself at Irwin, knocking the gun from his hand. The metal clattered across the hard floor as Levi grabbed Irwin's wrist and yanked him away from Eren. Both men sprawled on the floor in a tangle of limbs, both pairs of eyes looking like alphas ready for war. Levi let out a low growl, baring his teeth like an animal. He wrapped his hands around Irwin's neck, squeezing as hard as he could. Irwin let out a choking noise and grabbed at Levi's wrists, trying to rip him off. Levi's grip only tightened. He leaned down to Irwin's ear and whispered.

"Never lay a hand on my Eren and my child," he growled out, nails digging in to make sure the larger blonde wouldn't move. He slammed his knee down on the man's groin. Irwin's grip weakened as a weak, gurgle groan left his lips. His vision was blurry and he was on the verge of passing out. Levi noticed that the man was too weak to fight back, reaching over and grabbing the gun. Pressing the muzzle to his temple, he happily pulled the trigger, watching Irwin's blood and bits of his brain splatter across the ground.
