Damn it all- I want you [Ereri]

Chapter 6

Hey guys, apologies. I did say I'd get another chapter out quickly, but well, that idea plummeted like a barrel from the sky. (definitely not a reference to somewhere)

"seeya Levi"

'Such an enchantingly distant expression. Tell me Eren, how did one such as you manage to create something so depressingly beautiful?'

'Hey tell me Eren, what happened to you?'

The ceiling is fun to look at.

Being all white and shit, so interesting.

'The room feels empty... too bland,' My thoughts continued rambling on to themselves about white washed walls and cats, not sure where the thought of the fluffy creatures came from but, it's too late to turn back now.

I sat up and lazily dragged my legs off of the side of my bed, the grey sheets crumpling under my weight further, my hands clamped onto the sides like my life depended on it.

Well... it might depend on it. Fucking shit, I hate being sick.

Cold sweat was smudged across my forehead as one of my hands was brought up and ran its trembling fingers through my dripping, knotted hair, catching on tangles with almost every movement. "Fuck," Muttered curses left my lips as I began trying to stand up. Note the trying. "This better be just a fucking cold or something..."

"Fuucckkk, my head," Hair pulled taught against my scalp, I began stumbling towards the wardrobe on the other side of the room, my head spinning as I grasped onto the handle, taking in large gulps of air to try and gain more oxygen access to my lungs.

Let's just say that getting dressed for work was a struggle.

As I teetered my way down the hall, I noticed my eyesight turning slightly hazy as I reached the stair case, my head spinning even more. Shaking the feeling away, I took one step before I found myself free falling forwards. "Huh?" Was all I was able to say before I felt sharp pains stab into my body as I rolled down the stairs, losing consciousness as my head hit the floor with a loud smack sound that echoed throughout the house.

It's so dark, I wonder if there's any lights here.

Wait, where am I?

'Helloooo?'

"Levi?"

Eren? Was that Eren?

'Oi brat, where the hell are you? I can't see shit.'

"It's alright Levi, you don't need to see for this,"

What? What does he mean?

Something cold began touching the skin of my abdomen and chest, the realization that I was wearing nothing hit me like a bullet as I tried to push whatever was touching me away, only to find my hands bound.

What the fuck?

The something continued with the touching, the pads of its fingers bringing a strange sensation to my skin, fire burned through my veins. The thing leaned over my body, the touch of its naked skin against mine made me crazy, but not as crazy as I heard the thing whisper into my ear with Eren's voice.

"Levi, why won't you touch me?"

"Why won't you hold me?"

Eren's voice began sounding strangled, as if he were crying or angry, maybe both.

"Oi, I'm fucking talking to you. Answer me Levi, why won't you touch me back? Am I not good enough for you? Is that it? What would please you? Please tell me, Levi,"

'I can't'

'My hands, they're bound. I can't tou-'

"Your hands are free Levi, why are you making up so many excuses?!"

The feeling of Eren's palm across my cheek stung like a bitch, my head whipped to the side from the force.

"Stop making so many excuses!"

And suddenly I was at home, kneeling in my hallway as my doorway appeared before me, larger than life with Eren's receding form in the center.

Calling to him was useless, my voice won't work.

Stop going Eren, come back. Please, don't leave

Eren's head turned slightly back towards mine, the moonlight lighting up his features as the half smile he wore matched the miserable gleam in his eyes.

So beautiful...

"Seeya Levi,"

Such an enchantingly distant expression. Tell me Eren, how did one such as you manage to create something so depressingly beautiful?

'Hey tell me Eren, what happened to you?'

And then I was back in my house, a large pain growing in my head and a coughing fit racking my body as I turned to the side, blinking away the sweat and dark blotches from my eyesight.

The stairs? When did I-

Images from before I blacked out reappeared in my mind, my body moving subconsciously as I dragged my body to a stand using the handrail of my staircase to help.

I felt something thick trickle down the side of my face as I stood, wiping away whatever it was and climbing up the stairs, abandoning the idea of going to work today.

A cough rattled my lungs as I made my way to the upstairs bathroom, memories of Eren pouring water on my head the other night appearing in my mind.

Heh, that was a fun morning... night... day... fuck I don't know

Looking into the mirror was quite the shock to me. My eyes were sunken in more than usual, dark bags carried underneath as the red smudged against my skin contrasted with the sickly pale of my skin. 'Wait, red?'

Lifting up my hair, I traced the smear to a place I couldn't see on the back of my head, my hand pressed against something warm and sticky and I flinched away from it as pain shot through me. Bringing my hand back, it was covered in blood.

Shit, Eyebrows won't be happy about this at all... no one else is capable of cleaning the cafe like I do...

Welp, better call the hospital.

Fumbling around with my work coat, I captured my phone in my grasp and found the screen with a giant crack through it, half of the glass was still in my pocket.

"Shit."

Clicking the home button multiple times proved to be fruitless as the screen never lit up to show the familiar background of my step-siblings.

"Double shit,"

Sorry for the chapter guys, it's a lot shorter than my other chapters but it's leading to somewhere \o/ I don't know where but it's going somewhere. I know as much about this book as you guys to be completely honest with you, who knows whats going to happen next :D
