Bent Not Broken {Erei}

Eren:

I looked down at my hand and opened it. In my hands was a small silver necklace with the connected letters "LA" I studied it and cocked my head to the side. What does that mean? I wondered starting to jog back to the hell hole of a house.

The next morning I was still awake studying the necklace that man had gave me. It was pretty, but I didn't want to wear it in case a fucking staff member took it away.

The door suddenly opened and all the lights flicked on. Grunts and groans echoed through the room as tired children slowly woke up. I quickly hid the necklace out of view.

"Everybody up! Up now! Let's go! Get dressed in your finest clothes this morning children we have a very, very special guest today." I rolled my eyes. Same speech every damn time. I grabbed my clothes and quickly changed ignoring the buzz of voices around me.

"Who do you thinks gonna go home with them?"

"I hope they're nice and they have a pretty lady."

"Yeah! I'd be like their like.....adoptive son."

I rolled my eyes and turned to the three imaginative  young teens.

"You're going to be a butler. Not a adoptive son."

"Oh shut up Eren you're just jealous because no one wants you" The blonde one sneered.

"Fuck you, I don't want to be picked that's why!" I shouted back shoving the kid into his friends.

"Ow!" He kid hollered.

"Pussy." I muttered slipping on my belt and buckling it.

"Hey Eren what's that?" One of the younger kids asked pointing at the necklace in my hand.

"Uh, nothing, just a necklace."

"You didn't have that before." The kid noted staring up at me with his round childish eyes.

"So?" The kid shrugged and I sat in my bed waiting for them to come back. Once they did they put us in a line on a seat and one by one they would go into the room and their "skills" would be tested, and like I said before the neatest one would be picked or something like that. Of course some of the younger ones didn't go. They just sat in their room playing until we finished.

Finally, I got up and strolled into the room with my hands into the pockets. I looked at the lord and my jaw dropped.

"Levi!" The man from last night sat in a chair and grinned a bit a putting a finger to his lips.

"Do you like tea kid?" He asked smoothly.

"S-Sure....?"

"Go ahead and make some then." He nods towards the tea cups and items. A weird sense of determination washes over me and now I really want to do good. I walk over to the tea and notice the water is already warm. I take the tea cups that were on the tray and set them on the table in front of him. I carefully pour one cup of steaming water and pick up a tea bag.

"Erm, is this tea fine?"

"Indeed."

"Would you like sugar or anything else?"

"No thank you." Levi watched me carefully as I placed the tea bag in the cup and set the string on the right side. I then put the cup on a smaller plate and placed it in front of him. But instead of looking down at the tea. He kept studying me. He then slowly got up and walked over to me. I stood still and didn't look at him since it was rude to look at a lord without his or his lover's permission.

"Hm.." he circled me and I felt my face getting hot. He then took what I'm guessing was his cane and lifted my chin. He then moved the cane down and circled my chest, waist, and thighs muttering something under his breath. Then he slapped my abdomen with the cane causing me to yelp and tense.

"Hey what the hell!" I growled rubbing my sore behind.

"Shh..." Levi hissed, "You should know not to curse out your own lord." He says softly. My blood runs cold and I look at him.

"What?"

"Mh, yes...my Butler...with more freedom of course, so he can become a "wealthy merchant". Doesn't that sound nice?" I blinked a few times.

"S-Sure...?" I said quietly not knowing how to exactly answer.

"Good. Then let's go now. I already have somethings arranged for you. I'd like to dress you up and spoil you a bit more than these people." He reached into my pocket an pulled out the necklace wrapping it around my neck and locking it. "There." he said satisfied stepping back.

My face was red and I intertwined my hands together looking down intently and blushing.

"Yes sir."
