Sociopathic Killer [Ereri/Riren Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Analysis Seventeen

Eren was sure he was pushing the wrong buttons but he wanted to know what Levi's exact reason was for involving him in this mess. He wanted to know so badly that he'd go to the extreme in getting the answers he wanted, and by extremes; riling the murderer up. So in order for the brunette to achieve that he'd have to push Levi into a deeper corner, make him feel trapped like a frightened animal.

" Well Levi? What's your reason?"

" You had better quit askin' me or else!"

" Or else what, Levi? You going to hurt me? Stab me? Kill me? I already gave you permission to do what you like with me, so which will you choose?!"

As the brunette was taunting the raven, he slowly made his way towards Levi. Eren continued his questioning and slow strides towards Levi, making their way into the kitchen. Levi wasn't going to give in to telling the brat his reason why he got him involved, as he was afraid Eren wouldn't understand. Eventually the raven had bumped into a counter within the kitchen, and behind him was a block of wood holding six to eight knives. Eren, realizing this, continued with his verbal attacks.

" I'm full aware that both of us know that you have easy access to a weapon, now let's see how quickly it takes for you to feel insecure and grab one for self defense."

" Eren, I swear to fucking god, you had better stop this right now!"

" Why are you so afraid of this topic?! You're so god damn insecure about your reasons, so why don't you spill it?! You'll feel a hell lot better after you do!!!"

Levi couldn't keep this up, his mind was racing along with his heart rate, and before he knew it his hands wielded one of the kitchen knives. Then all of a sudden, after the knife was in his hands, Levi felt so much calmer. He could feel all the tension and insecurities flow right out of him, and with this he felt content with what he was about to do.

" ... Hey Eren, I think you should think farther ahead when you go doing something like this. 'Cause I could do anything to you right now, and after which you'll regret cornering a hungry animal."

" I was fully aware that by stirring you up would entail, and frankly that's what I was trying to achieve."

" You're one crazy bastard, you know that?!"

" Then I guess we're even! So tell me Levi! Why involve me?! Why do you need me so badly?!"

" Shut up and I'll tell you!!!"

With this, Levi ran forward and swung the knife, missing the brunette's chest from him dodging. The raven turned around again, swinging the weapon with the turn of his body, aiming for any piece of flesh his knife would pierce. This time, Eren wasn't quick enough, and so he received a small sideways slash above his right eye. The brunette let out a silenced shout and hissed from the pain, falling to his knees, covering the right side of his face. As Eren sat on the floor, he listened as Levi started to laugh, but soon his laughter became erratic breathing.

" Y-you want an answer to your question, well you'll get it! It's because you were the only person I ever liked! Haha, sounds pathetic I know, but I want nothing more than to have you all to myself!" The raven took in a few deep breaths before staring at Eren with the eyes of a maniac, " But if you don't want me then I'll just have to play my own game, and get rid of the mini bosses before I get to the final boss."

" ! No! You promised you wouldn't hurt or kill anyone!"

" Well sometimes life is cruel, and people are deceitful. You still have a lot to learn about the world we live in, Eren, and just you wait. I'll make you're precious Mina as beautiful as Mikasa, no, I'll make her better than my cousin. You seem to like her more than that possessive freak, am I wrong?" Levi mocked nonchalantly.

" I won't let you lay your hands on her you bastard!!!"

Eren quickly got to his feet and chased after Levi outside of the house and to his car. Once the raven got into the vehicle it was too late. The brunette saw that his childhood friend had his car key and once Levi was in the car he locked the doors and drove out of the driveway. Eren watched as his car disappeared from his sight, while doing so he fell to his knees once again and covered his face with his curled up hands. The brunette looked up to the sky and huffed out muddled words.

" ... Please... Please not her, if there is a God on my side, please protect her from what my foolishness has brought onto her... I've already lost enough people, so why her?..." Eren slouched his back as he looked down at the pavement, his arms hanging by his sides now, " I've already lost enough... what more do you want from me?..."

As the brunette kept muttering the same two phrases under his breath, he received a phone call from his mother. Frankly, he didn't want to answer it, but knowing her she'd keep calling until he picked up so he did.

" Eren! About time you picked up! Where are you? Your father and I have been worried sick! " 

" ... I'm fine Mom, I'm just at work..."

" So early in the morning?! And... have you been crying?..."

" Listen Mom, I'll be home before breakfast later so I'll see you then." Eren hung up before she could say another word.

Once he turned his phone off, Eren stood up from the driveway and walked back into the house. He had treated his freshly made cut from Levi and was now laying on the floor in front of the couch in the living room. The one thing that kept him from complete despair was the fact that he had gotten an answer to his question, but it struck him as odd though. Levi liked him? Liked him how? Eren didn't know what the raven meant by it, but he needed to come up with a plan to ensure that Levi doesn't get to Mina.
