In a Dark Room \\ Ereri

NTS: Return

l:

I open the door to my house- well more so my uncle's house. Immediately, the scent of alcohol and cigarettes fills my nose. The sickening smell of whiskey and puffs of bitter smoke dissolve into my bruised skin and tattered clothes.

Kenny was sitting on the couch watching a football game. He was so still he looked dead. It excited me for a bit-- thinking about how easy it would be to take his life right then and there. It was simple. I could strangle him, drug his drink, or stab him. It all sounded so intriguing to me, but I guess I'll just have to save my marvelous ideas for another day considering he was awake as well.

As I walk towards my steps I hear him star to groan,

"Hey kid, Erwin is going to be here soon so hurry up with whatever the hell you have to do and stay out of our sight."

"Sure" I replied quietly. He was quick to get back into a comfortable position. My acknowledgement of his order was barely present. I looked down at my knuckles-- blood. Not my blood. Kenny turned around once more and glared at me from the corner of my half-lidded eyes. His eyes scanned me up and down then he stared at my now bandaged hands.

"Pft. Weak frail kid can't do a thing to protect himself" he taunted.
I rolled my eyes and jotted upstairs. The last thing I felt like hearing were taunts from the person I hated.

"Oh my sweet, sweet bed. How I've missed you and how you've cherished so many sorrowful memories"
I sang as I plopped myself onto the mattress. I glance around seeing a pill bottle filled nearly to the brim of the cap on my nightstand.

Those should've been gone already. All I have to do is gulp it down, it's not hard.

--(<- time skip)

I wake up with a jolt. It's still fairly cloudy, but I can see the sun peeking beneath a cloud as it begins to set. That means it must have at least been forty-five minutes since I drifted asleep.
I jot downstairs only to find a fairly... really disturbing sight. Erwin sitting atop Kenny in a straddling fashion on the couch.

"What the hell?!" I whisper shouted. So many thoughts raced through my head, after all those years of him dropping the f word on me, after all those years of him destroying me for being me, he's making out with another dude- but not just a dude, Erwin fucking Smith?!

I stare without realizing Erwin was making eye contact with me while kissing Kenny in an aggressive manner. He smirks and starts to grind against Kenny. His seductive face becoming imprinted in my mind all the while they were licking and biting each other's lips.

This bull was absolutey something I did not want to see... shocking. I stood still for an amount of time and swallowed hard gulping down the lump in my throat.

I tie up my black combat-like boots and slam the door behind me. I shuffled around in my pocket making sure I had the small blue box of health care with me.

I know the cute-..... I know the brunette said that I could keep the box, but It would make more sense to return it since I know it wouldn't do me any use in the coming days. He probably needed it more than me anyways.

--
I made my way up Rose street. I found that The cute two story house that somehow stood out from the rest even though majority on the street looked the same was the one belonging to him.
I knocked on the pine door. Shuffling inside could be heard-- footsteps sounding almost as if they were rushed. The door opens only to reveal a tall brunette woman.

"Ere-" she begins with hope in her eyes only to realize it was a mere me, Levi.

"Oh... Are you a friend of Eren's?" She questioned.

"Not... Really? I just came to return this to him" I dug through my pockets pulling out the small kit.

"Oh, okay, I'll make sure to tell him"

"Is... he uh.. here?"

"Well... He might be at Maria Park right now, but I haven't been able to get in touch with him. He left his phone here which I thought was strange, but he's still an irresponsible little kid- I guess that's what I expect haha" the woman I'm guessing was his mother let out nervously. I try my best to smile as to give her a decent impression of me.

I glance behind her to find a medium height girl walking past the door view. Pretty.

"Well, I should get going..."

"Yeah sure sweetie, I'll tell him that you came by!"

We bid farewells and part contact.

Hmm, Maria Park. I stop to think for a second deciding whether or not I should go and see if I could find him, but I decided against it. Kenny would kill me- that's for sure.
