Chapter 8: Desire

______________________

The days that came after the medical insertion, was the hardest for both guardian and the teen, now at two weeks' time it felt impossible to even talk to each other. For Eren he felt torn and responsible for the way Levi almost immediately distanced himself, he didn't know what he did wrong with this, Levi was a smart boy and he understood many things about their life arrangement and that was something Eren always thanked the lord for, but how come it seemed to be difficult to let Levi understand he had to do this?

Money wasn't the only problem, he had to make sure he appeared as viable guardian for Levi, the approval of childcare and welfare for hybrids weren't merely measured so simply by their community. It was already frowned upon that he was raising a wolf, he, meaning a breeding tool like himself. They frowned on his unnecessary attachment to the boy and the fact that he had chosen a wolf of all breeds to keep in his wake.

But he never let anything they had to say ruin the special bond he had formed with his little pup, he cared for the raven so much it felt much more profound than the way he had loved his kittens, perhaps it was because he never got the chance to love and raise them the way he had Levi. Despite all odds, being frowned and looked down on, for some reason, with the way things changed all the while Levi grew, something was lodging them apart.

His heart hurt, thinking that it wouldn't be the age that will distance Levi from him sooner, but through a decision he had no choice but to make. It wasn't fair. Perhaps it was a mix of the speed of his aging as well, Eren had no idea anymore, nor did he have any clue with what he should do next. Loving Levi had been so easy, but standing up for that love hurt a lot more than he was prepared for.

"Levi?" Eren subtly knocked on the mahogany-wood door. "Can I come in? I brought you some dinner.. You didn't come done when I called you so I.. I came up instead." He said with hope in his uncertain tone, he willed to stop the slight jitters of his fingers that held a tray of food, meat, as usual, Levi needed his own form of sustenance every now and then, although he was fine with other sorts like fruit and vegetables. "Please open up." Eren almost sounded as if he were begging.

It was silent.

"It's open."

Without a face to even compare it with, his voice was so much deeper than what Eren has been hearing all the past year, he could hardly believe it's only been just eleven months since he first held that shivering pup in his arms, whispering soothing things in his fluffed ears holding him in his arms so close to his heart so it could keep the little one warm.
