|| im reposting chapter eight so i can get a link to the story


Also i changed the story to third person cx its my fort time writing in 3rd person so please be gentle||


Its been a week or two since they visited petras grave. Eren hasnt spoken of it and neither has levi. He just seems distant, like he doesnt trust levi... And he can actually feel them falling apart. He's been more alone than normal, and eren keeps telling levi its fine. Im here now, really here. Its what youve wanted so youll be okay. Thats what eren keeps telling him. Though he doesnt feel okay. He feels like theres new, shiny, cold needles in his sock drawer, and theres 'powdered sugar' in the bathroom next to the blades, and playing cards. On either side of his shivering curled up body are temptations that he shouldnt be able to face, and without eren he'll give in. He stood up, forcing his wobbling legs to carry him out the door, into the below freezing air. He didnt bother locking the door, no one would find anything in his apartment worth keeping, unless they wanted to call the cops on him. Then he would have no temptation and eren would visit him in jail... He hoped. Levi wandered aimlessly through the streets. He could go to the hospital. Theyd ask him whats wrong and he'd tell them his hearts broken. But they would probally tell him he needed help and send him somewhere else. He could go to the nut house, they'd ask him why hes there and he'd tell them hes crazy about this boy. They would definatly kick him out. He probally shouldnt be out of the house, It doesnt help that hes walked out of town either. The door of a shop opened infront of him, a small bell singing the decent. A tall boy and an even taller man stepped out, smiling widely. They each had soft brown hair that bounced when they walked, and green eyes you could get lost in. Only one of them had larger, prettier eyes, and he was skrawny, compared to the built beast that stood beside him. They stopped their conversation almost immediatly once looking down at the short man. Thats what they had to do, litteraly look down like 1 foot to see him. He was nothing more than a bug to them.

"Levi..." Eren muttered, his cheeks blushed from the cold.

The way he said levis name made him want to curl up into a ball and die.

"Eren..." He tried muttering back but it came out a sigh of comfort.

"What are you doing out here alone?" He asked, almost frantically.

This town is the place of cash, spent on drugs, drugs taking cash, bodies being sold for the money for more drugs, and the only ones sucessful, the ones with blood on their hands. Levi has grown far to familiar to everything around here.

"Walking." He replied, tucking his nose into his coat collar.

Eren looked up to his brother "ill meet you at home."

There was a hesitation, but finally they were alone.

The man took a step forwad, wanting eren to hold him at least "Eren i -"

"Levi!" Someone called from behind him. "your back?"

He paused, his eyes locked on erens t-shirt. He remember that voice from anywhere.

"No." Levi replied.

"Obviously you are, your standing right here like you always have." The faceless man said, his voice now right behind levi.

He could see eren cock his head slightly, probally confused. He suppose he'd have to explain this to him later. He'd definatly loose him then.

"Please go away, Abe, im busy..." Levi begged, reaching up and grabbing the bottom of erens shirt. He shivered as air hit his bare stomach.

"What ever this guy is paying you, ill pay double." Abe announced, the sound of his wallet clicking open, quickly following the sound of his hoarse voice.

"dont pay me, leave me alone!" He hissed, louder than he intended, and pulled himself into eren.

Erens body stopped shaking, he assumed he understood by now who this guy was to him.

"Im not just another customer to you, You cant say you didnt feel anything, levi."

"I felt alot of disgust!"

Erens arms wrapped around him, pulling him closer into his chest, "he said go away, so please leave."

It was quiet for a moment until Abe snickered, making eren jump alittle. Levi hugged him tighter, assuring him that it was fine.

"Whatever, hes not that great anyway, your wasting your money." Abe spit, walking away as he said so.

Levi felt nothing but extreme embarrassment and disgust all over again.

Erens arms dropped to his sides, but the other male continued holding him. Silently begging for him not to leave.

"Levi..." The teenager started, quietly "...that guy..... Were you a prostitute?"

Levis heart stopped, eren said it with the most discomfort, and disrespect hes ever heard him have in his entire time of knowing him.

"Am i still important to you?" The man asked, quickly before he paniced any further, burying his head into the crook of erens neck.

Eren remained silent for a second. And more seconds. He remained silent for what felt like five minutes.

"Yeah..." He finally muttered "yeah you are..."

Levi felt relieved, erens body warmth finally accepting him, encasing his body in comfort, love that hed been craving to have back. He kissed erens neck, slowly and gently before sighing into him. His eyes watered. He thought eren was going to leave him, He thought they were broken before, but after this he thought they were shattered. But hes still important to eren... He still loves me?

"Hey, levi?" Eren muttered.

"Yeah?"

"Can we leave? This place gives me the creeps..."

Levi snickered. Eren really was quite innocent. This town was creepy, he'd just become familiar to the abandoned buildings, the constant police sirens, and the regular bullies that would find their way to him. He was never wanted like he was with petra. Even with petra he still sold himself for money, money that he spent on drugs. Only he didnt feel the need to do that anymore. Sadly enough he only met abe a week before he started talking to eren. They were almost out of town by this time. Levis arm wrapped around erens waist, still emotionally unstable as he held the boys hand tightly.

"Rivaille..." A deeper voice cooed making him stand up straighter.

Theres only been one person that ever called him by his last name. And to be frank he wasnt to fond of him.

"Nice to see you here." Another deeper voice said alittle too plainly.

Levi loostened his grip on erens waist but tightened his grip on his hand.

"You know alot of people..." Eren said quietly.

The man nodded, looking up slightly. Three men stood on the sidewalk before them. One man extremely pale, his eyes a redish brown color with snow white hair. Hes called rat, cause hes a pure bred albino. Purebred as in albino mother and father. Hes skinny, he runs like a cheetah, traveling at least a state in a day by foot. The next one, and the tallest one is a tan, boy dressed in nice pants, and a sweater vest. He goes to a private school, rich family, nice hair. No one suspects him for anything. His name is asikune. Then theres D. No one knows his real name. Hes shrouded in mystery. Levi always assumed D stood for Douchebag. Though it was cold he wore a tank top, flaunting his muscules, dark skin pulled tight over his built body. He was averaged sized, alittle shorter than eren, but towering over me.

"Its just peachy seeing you here," levi agreed, a tint of asshole in his voice "have a grand fucking day."

"Aw dont be that way, rivaille, buddy," asikune whined.

Asikune grows, and stores the drugs. Rat delivers to other dealers, and collects. He then brings everything else back to D who sells it. This town is practically his. Everyone owes him something, always. Meaning he can get anything he wants whenever he wants it. Levis role in this game was the buyer. He bought most of the time from D. He was his best friend and eventually levi started working for him. Once getting into the buisness of prostitution he'd convince girls, and the occassional man to buy from D. This earned the addicted man one pill for each customer. Its not something he like to look back on. Its like a black and white movie, silent, dark, and severely depressing.

"Im serious, leave me alone." Levi demanded, pushing past them as he continued to walk.

Eren yelped, his voice echoing off the buildings, as he jumped into the others body. He breathed heavily, his hands shaking, on the older males shoulders. Leviturned around, his hand cupping erens cheek and studying his wide, watering green eyes. "Eren..."

"Awwwe" the boys sang.

"Rivaille, i didnt know you were REALLY into men." Asikune studied eren "im sorry.... I didnt know you were into Boys."

Levi protectively pushed his fingers through erens hair, looking at them from the corner of his eye. Asikunes elevator eyes making him feel really uncomfortable.

"Firm ass..." D admitted, squeezing the air.

The man shuddered, pressing his forehead against erens. Silently telling him he was sorry. His fingers brushed against levis wrists confortingly, accepting it.

"Rivailles in love, rivalles in love~" the boys chanted.

"what are you in second grade!?" He snapped tearing his attention from eren.

"No but your boyfriend is..." Rat muttered quietly.

They burst into a fit of laughter making eren blush.

"That isnt the point..." D finally regained confidence and his intimidating glare "the point is, you still owe me 200 bucks."

"He owes me money..." Rat added, just as quietly as before.

Levi flushed, having forgotten about all of that. Erens hand jerked from his wrist, up to his face. The boys hands shook worse than before, a tramitized, sad look filled his eyes. Eren looked at this negatively. Drugs were his hell board and levi was a peice still in the game.

"Eren..." He muttered, turning back towards him.

"Come back to the office would you?" D requested waving them towards the ally they stood by.

Levi pushed eren forward gently, until we got to the dark part.

"Ill get it to you later i promise, i just dont have it now."levi assured immediatly.

Eren leaned against the wall, his legs shaking as he willed himself to calm down. The older male rubbed erens arm cautiously. The boys sat on dumpsters next to their backpacks filles with drugs.

"Its not a big deal." D replied "we just have a party to go to, and people expect us to bring our things... Thats why we need it by tonight."

Levi struggled not to choke, doubling over in a heap of coughs.

"I cant get it by tonight!" He shouted.

"Like i said, not a big deal." Something about his tone told levi it was okay, but it wasnt. "But you are an inconvenience."

"What?" He asked quickly.

Asikune laughed pushing himself off the dumpster "your no fun."

He flushed. Rat stepped forward. That quick little shit. He held eren against his chest, fingers wrapped tightly around his delicate wrists. Levi flinched but remained calm.

"Have him." He muttered crossing his arms "my life is more important to me than his."

Erens eyes widened, his entire body freezing with a look of hurt. D nodded taking a step forward.

"So we can kill him?" He asked, pulling a knife from his pocket and holding it to erens waist.

The man took a deep breathe rolling his eyes "i doubt you want to, it would be better just to stab him the let him crawl home."

"LEVI!" Eren gasped, his hair messy around his face.

Asikune snickered, taking erens wrists from rat and holding both in one hand, behind erens back. Levi watched him carefully. Examining every move of his finger.

"He really means nothing to you?" Asikune asked running his hand over erens chest.

Levi twitched abit. ".... No."

Asikune ran his hand over to erens stomach, making him shudder. D's fingers wrapped around levis wrists. He was the only person he's met that was stronger than him. But that was before petra died, alot of people were probally stronger than he was by now. Levi tried shaking him off, absentmindedly as he watched asikune touch eren. He watched him, touching his boy. His hand came off of eren for a split second before ramming into his stomach.

"Eren!" Levi gasped as eren made a cute, struggled, squeak noice.

His knees gave out slowly as he doubled over. Asikunes knee raise quickly into his mouth. Erens head jerked back, as he gagged, and fell to his knees in a choking heap of weakness.

"Hah!" Levi panted, the cold burned his wide eyes as he looked over to asikune. "Eren-!"

Asikune used years of soccer practice and kicked eren in the side. He frantically grasped for something to help him, his fingers starting to bleed from clawing at the concrete.

Maybe it was just him but he thought D struggled to keep ahold of him. "YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS STOP HITTING HIM!"

Asikune stepped on erens chest, and he gasped for air, blood bubbling out of his mouth as he gagged on his own tongue. Levi was abit surprised when he felt a tear run down his cheek, his knees shaking as eren rolled over. The brunette gasped, spitting out blood onto the sidewalk and wincing as his muscules in his bruised waist moved. D pushed levi towards the floor, which he was grateful for because his legs felt weak.

"So are you guys like, a thing?" Asikune snickered "how does it feel to kiss someone as skilled as a prostitute?"

Levi glared up at him, only making things blurry through tears.

"Why dont you ask your sister," he suggested "of course i wasnt kissing the lips on her face."

As much as he'd like to say that was a lie, it wasnt. Asikunes eyes widened quickly, then narrowed in anger.

"You disgusting slut." He growled, and looked over at rat.

Rat turned away walking over somewhere towards the shadowed wall. Rat came back handing asikune a small shiny object, that was very recognizable to levi. Eren wiggled uncomfortably, holding his side. The oldest man choked on a paniced sob, trying to speak.

"I'd be surprised if your 'boy friend' doesnt hate you after this." Asikune hissed, leaning down to eren.

He gripped the teenagers wrist, shoving his knee into the sore spot on erens side. Eren cried out in pain as a thick needle was shoved into his clean vein. He struggled to pull away, and not cause further pain to himself at the same time.

"STOP!" Levi begged jerking his arms away from D's hands but failing "please ill get you your money, and your drugs, and ill help you get customers, a-and ill buy from you..."

Eren looked up at levi, a disapproving look in his eyes. He reached out slightly, his fingertips brushing the others knee. He looked down at erens shaking hand. Just a second ago he was in my house. Its funny how time flys.

"Ill... Ill do anything... Please dont hurt him.... Hes only 18, hes studying to be a rehabilitation therapist... Your going to ruin his life. I-i messed up im sorry, dont bring him into this... let him go home."

It was completely silent for what felt like forever, with only the sound of levis shakey breathes. The grip on his wrists loostened, allowing him to pull out. He looked up cautiously to asikune. The boy looked away, and pulled the needle from erens wrist, making him wimper.

"You have two weeks. If you dont have it by then we will kill you. And if you bail on us we will go to his house." Asikune said, refering to eren, as he stood up.

"Understood." Levi replied quickly.

Rat was already gone it seemed, and D and asikune grabbed their stuff and left. The man watched them walk out of the ally, almost agonizingly slow.

Eren lay in his bed, awake but eyes closed. His lips werent injured as badly levi had thought, it was mostly just his gums bleeding, and he bit his tongue. His waist however had a large purple and black bruise. Large from his hips to his ribs, and almost to his belly button. Levi gently reached out, touching his side. He knew it would feel good, his cold fingers against erens warm skin.

"Ehhh...." The brunette whined, shifting slightly.

"Im sorry..." Levi muttered for the hundreth time tonight.

"Stop..." Eren replied, his eyes fluttering slightly. "I told you im not angry at you."

Levis eyes filled with tears making the image of his beautiful eren nothing but a blurry reflection. He had to rely on his memory of every inch of his body to actually see him. Erens fingers brushed against the others cheek, gently. He'd always tried to comfortevi even when he was the one who needed it.

"I love you..." Eren said, his voice raising an octave "but i cant do this any longer..."
