He Will Be Loved

Chapter One.

       Levi sighed as he looked down at the text message that came from a certain green eyed male. It was a simple text just asking him if he could meet with Eren in a little bit, but it was the reason why that drove Levi inside. Another one of Eren's relationships had come to an end and now he needed Levi there to help him out.

        Now don't Levi wrong, he loved the male deeply and he always wanted to be there to help him out, but that was the problem. He loved the male and the fact that Eren kept going to these guys who didn't even give two shits about him killed him inside. Eren deserved someone who actually loved and care for him. Maybe Levi wasn't always the nicest person on the planet, but he knew that if it was him that was lucky enough to be with the male, he would make sure that the male never questioned his worth again. It just wasn't fair that the ones who got Eren's time never even cared about him. They didn't deserve him.

        Shaking his head, he sent back a message saying alright and that he would meet up at the downtown cafe, along with the time that he could meet with him. Hitting send on the message, Levi turned the screen off and stood up from his couch. The male had already taken a shower when he first woke up and he was already dressed, so he ended up just grabbing his wallet and keys and heading out. He would be a little early, but at least it would allow him to grab them a seat and get himself a drink before Eren arrived.

        In the end, about 15 to 20 minutes passed by before Eren ended up showing up, his cheeks, his nose, and his eyes all red as an obvious signal that the male had been crying. Sighing softly, Levi rose his hand up for Eren to see where he was and he watched the brown haired male walk over and sit down across from him. The younger male sniffled slightly as he looked at Levi.

        "Eren, come on, don't cry." Levi said softly to the male as he watched him. It was a very unlike Levi thing to say or even hear in such a tone, but when it came to Eren, he was never really himself. Well, the self that he was with everyone else. Whenever he was with Eren, he was just so... so different. He was different. He always showed his best side to the male. While he always was cold and uncaring to everyone else, he made sure to be warm and sweet to Eren. He always made sure to sure to show feelings to him.

        "I-I'm sorry...." Eren sniffled, his hand coming up and wiping away the tears that were still gathered in his eyes. "I just... I was hoping that he would be different... Erwin just seemed so nice and sweet, I don't know what happened...."

        "I know you want to find someone, but maybe you should just... let it happen. Maybe the problem is you're searching too hard and that's why it's not working? Maybe just let everything happen naturally and then something real and lasting might happen?" Levi suggested to him, washing the male wipe his tears. He reached over to the little area where the napkins, ketchup, and other things were kept and grabbed napkin to hand over to Eren. The male took it and wiped his face, shrugging slightly as he stared down.

        "I-I try to d-do that, but then I find someone and I get excited and just try for it and it doesn't work... I don't think that I'm meant to be with anyone." Eren whispered as he shook his head and closed his eyes tightly.

        "Don't go saying that. You're only 22." Levi scolded him.

        "Lot's of people are married with kids at my age, though! And I've barely even had a serious relationship!" Eren exclaimed to him.

        "Well if that's the case, where am I at? I'm 29, almost 30, and I still don't have anyone, let alone kids. And way more people my age have kids and are married now." Levi pointed out.

        Eren wanted to fight back at that, but he didn't have much of a comeback besides mumbling out, "Still."

        Levi sighed and shook his head at him. "Look, Eren, I know that it sucks and I know that you want to be with someone, but I really believe that if you just let it go and let everything happen without forcing it, it would all just go a low better. At least give it a try. I doubt that it can go any worse that it already has gone, right?"
