Threes (disc)

Chapter 006

When Levi went on to vent about his lover, Erwin, Jean listened intently, and giving his amount of feedback whenever he could. He said he didn't really have much experience but told Levi that he thought he could do better.

"Actually Levi, you really seem like an interesting man, and I'd love to get to know you more." Jean said looking him straught in the eye. "Ill ask Eren if its alright, but.. would you like to hang out more? With and without Eren?"

"Huh?" Levi almost gasped.

"I swear I'm not going to be weird about it! Or put the moves on you! By all means if you want Eren its fine!"

"We aren't in a relationship, you know." Levi furrowed his brows darkly.

"No, I know. I just--"

Levi thought about it, 'If he really weren't interested at all in me then it wouldnt have been this much of a big deal, idiot..'

"I do like you.. I just.."

"I don't mind." Levi interrupted, aiming to end his suffering. He sipped the rest of his tea, and stared out the window, then back at him who almost lit up. "But you're right, ask Eren first. I'm pretty sure it violates at least one bro code rule." Levi almost chuckled.

"Yeah! Sure!" He replied.

When Jean went to use the bathroom, Levi had finally decided to send a text to Erwin. 'I'm out. Not sure if I'll be home tonight.'

Levi sat by the window for a few minutes to admire the view. The city was still bustling in the highway below, even the streets were filled with late partygoers as it was a Saturday night.

"Hey, Levi, Eren says he's going to be out a while with his other friends." He yelled from the bathroom.

"Oh? Alright." Levi answered.

He heard an inaudible voice on Jean's speaker. Then heard footsteps, "Levi keep your door locked, there's some probably drunk doofus looking for trouble that's running around. I'll be right back."

Levi nodded then Jean shut the door, locking it.

Sighing, he threw himself onto the couch by the window. He probably wasn't going to get a text back from Erwin until 1 a.m.

Then finally about an hour later, there was a ping sound.

Levi read it, 'Alright. I'll be out with Mike. Be safe.'

'Well, that's that.' Levi sighed. Thank god the alcohol had already gone down. He didn't honestly think it would that quickly.

He got up and walked towards the cart of food. Picking one of the vanilla cakes, he sat back in the table, grabbing a fork to eat it with. "Fucking Erwin.." He cursed.

Paranoid as he was, he trusted Erwin, even though he really had no right to say who and how many people he had slept with. Why'd he care so much about it anyway? Levi stared at the cart, remembering that the were bottles of wine sitting on the bottom tray. "Fuck it, might as well."

Within the next few minutes, the bottle of Hennessy was halfway done, and Levi already felt the room spinning. There was another ping from his phone, and he read it. The message from Erwin was 'I'm at a nearby hotel called Threes.'

"What a stupid sounding hotel.. Sounds like trees.. Where have I heard it before?" Levi mumbled as he spun the drink in a wine glass. It looked like apple juice. "Threes..Threes!?" Levi jolted up and fell to the floor just as quick. That was the name of this hotel.

Levi tried to text back, but the whole thing was a jumble of letters. 'Whay roon will be in?'

"Fuck.." Levi said as he stumbled to the door. He knowingly struggled to unclick the lock, bringing his cellphone with him.

Twice he tried to call Erwin, but there was no answer. "What the fuck man.. You just texted me." Levi frowned as he put his phone away. It took so much energy to concentrate on pushing the right buttons. When he got to the hallway the elevator was taking too long so he chose to take the stairwell. He pushed the doors open to head to the lobby.

There was a piercing silence that creeped up on him as he entered the stairwell. He felt like something was wrong. He ran to the railing and looked down then up--he wasn't sure why. Lingering a bit, he stepped downward, then immediately started running.

Once he did however he tripped on what seemed like nothing. He fell on his face and chest. His tipsyness wasn't helping, but he could see a blur of shit on the steps. "Fuckin' jeez." Levi complained as he rubbed the front of his face and nose.

Immediately there was a blaring alarm that echoed through the area, piercing straight though Levi's mangled brain. "Holy shit!"

Sooner than Levi could do anything, he felt someone pull him up, knife to his throat. 'Great, just what I fucking need right now.' Levi thought as he rolled his eyes in frustration.

Soon enough he heard the loud banging of a door downstairs, and a few quick steps. It was followed by the sound of punches being thrown, and the slight grunts of men below them. Then a single pair of footsteps drew closer to their level. A familiar color of dark brown and messy hair appeared. This time he was wearing a black suit. "L-Levi!" He was soon followed by a blonde and a black haired woman.

Levi groaned, his headache was getting worse, and really didnt feel like dealing with this. Quick as Levi could he grabbed the man's hand with both of his, ducked downward and under their arm with the tight grasp until he could force the man to stab himself. Immediately losing grip, Levi grabbed the knife away until he was sure the man was down. He rubbed his head and turned to Eren, "You're dressed fancy. Back so soon?" Levi asked.

Eren only stood in surprise for a bit before responding, "Y-yeah. Uh, guys this is Levi. Levi, this is Armin, and Mikasa, my half sister."

"Hey." Levi greeted them.

~.+.~

When Levi got to the lobby, he almost immediately saw the two tall blondes lingering there, and sipping on coffee. All dressed up in their work attire as if waiting for something. Surprisingly Jean was there, too, monitoring the front desk's cameras and ordering other guards around.

Levi walked straight to Erwin. "Erwin."

He got up immediately, "Oh, Levi, this is where you're staying at?"

"Yeah." Levi nodded. "I have a room on the sixth floor."

Eren entered the room, but chose merely to stand behind Levi without saying a word until he knew just who the blonde was to Levi. Eren hardly heard about Levi's other 'lover', but it was growing increasingly obvious who it was. Armin and Mikasa stood in the background, next to Jean, and only then did he take notice.

Jean looked up at them and asked, "Levi, you know them?"

"Yeah." Levi turned to Jean, then to Eren. "This is Erwin."

'Ohh shit.' Both Eren and Jean thought as their faces grew dark.
