Sociopathic Killer [Ereri/Riren Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Analysis Twenty-Two

Levi ran as fast as he could to get to the mental hospital where the police had Eren, and all the while he thought hard about his conviction for his killings. However, when he thought about them, he realized that they were only to satisfy his own selfish pleasures. Never once did he kill for his main goal in protecting Eren, and now with this, Levi came to one conclusion that struck at him harder than it needed to.

The raven ran faster and harder as just thinking of seeing the last person he had feelings for was enough to keep him going.

Eren, however, lay in his new bed in his new room at the mental hospital. His arms were bound and his eyes were covered, the only things he could do were talk, walk, and sit. He wasn't allowed to see or talk to his friends or family, so all he was allowed to do was answer the press's questions truthfully. Of course he didn't want to give them the exact answers, seeing that if he did then Levi would be caught immediately, so the brunette answered the questions with little hints of the truth. Aside from the interrogations from both the police and the press, he remained in his designated room where his father would come in and check him out before injecting some liquid into the teen's arm.

" Don't worry son, this will only make you fall asleep."

The brunette was tired of it all already. He spent a whole day locked up like some crazy person being questioned and tested on. He just wanted out and to be free. He wanted to be free and join the military, but at this point, Eren felt his mind was long gone. He felt that way since he was a little kid.

۩۞۩ Flashback ۩۞۩

He was only six when he found out what he really was. He always knew he was different from the kids at school, but no one bothered him. In fact, having a well-known doctor for a parent was kind of convenient for him sometimes. However, Eren would always become bored with something so he would wind up by himself. That changed, though, when he found Levi in the playground all alone. Something inside the brunette made him want to be his friend, so he went up to him. At first he thought his eyes were mistaken for someone else, but upon a closer look at the black haired boy he realized that he was one of the brunette's father's regular patients. The brunette remembered what the raven had and in that moment, something sparked the fire inside of Eren of wanting to protect someone else for once.

At first, it was difficult to speak with Levi, but Eren found a way for them to communicate without the use of words. So they spoke through writing. They had so many conversations that they had fun when they started to actually speak to one another. Two innocent kids having fun together, what was there not to love and have fun about?

Their friendship continued to grow as they grew up together through their years in elementary and middle school. However, around that time, the two boys were the main targets for bullying. Eren would find garbage and handwritten threats in Levi's locker and his own during their last year in middle school, so the brunette took it upon himself to keep the raven safe from the persistent bullying. This was also the time period where he realized that he wouldn't be able to protect Levi for much longer, and then he met the biggest mistake in his life.

" Hello, I'm Mikasa Ackerman, I'm Levi's cousin. He's told me a lot about you, so I was hoping if we could be together and see how it goes."

Eren only stared at her in disbelief. He had rejected her coldly but she persisted, and eventually the whole school thought that they were dating. Even Eren thought so as time went by. Then everything came crashing down. Levi's parents and Mikasa were killed by a mad man, or thats what everyone else thought. Eren knew that it wasn't the man who killed them, no, it was Levi.

۩۞۩ Present Timeline۩۞۩

Eren lifted his head up when he heard a loud noise from outside his room, so he stood up from his bed and carefully walked towards the door, allowing the noise from outside to guide him.

Levi hid behind the reception desk to reload his gun, this time with actual bullets, and to count his knives. Five left. There were more than ten officers out there and the raven only had two cartridges of bullets left. He could do it, he had to do it, for Eren. Right when the raven was about to start shooting again, he heard the voice of Erwin Smith in the crowd.

" Well I certainly didn't expect you to come shooting down our doors for someone other than yourself. So tell me, why go through the trouble of coming here for Eren when you must've known that we'd have the whole police force here guarding him from you?"

" You wouldn't understand even if I told you!!!"

With this, Levi threw a flash-bang grenade he had for instances like this one and started shooting the remaining officers. Whoever was left from the mass shooting was quickly finished off with a swift slice at the neck. When the raven got to Erwin, he asked him something.

" Tell me something, Erwin, why would you bring the entire police force here when you must've known they would've all been killed by me?"

" That, right there, is a good question. I suppose you'll have to ask me once you make it to Hell."

" Shut up, old man." And just like that, Erwin Smith was no more.

Levi stood and took the keys from one of the hospital staff that got caught in the crossfire and went for Eren's room once he found which one he was being held in. When he got to the door, Levi took in a deep breath and let it out before unlocking it and opening it. He saw the brunette standing still right in the doorway, blindfolded and arms bound. The raven took a step closer to Eren before something happened.

" Levi, don't do this... please!"

Levi quickly used his knife to cut the straps off of the brunette's arms and untied the blindfold.

Once Eren was able to see once again, he fell to the floor and tried backing away from the raven. He heard the raven chuckle lightly before coming up to him and crouching down in front of him, and wrapping a scarf around him. The brunette looked into Levi's eyes with a questioning expression in them before he asked his question.

" Why won't you kill me?"

" Kill you? Why would I kill the person I'm trying to protect?"

" Protect? I thought you hated me! You were killing all my friends!"

" Were they really your friends?"

Eren stopped there. He was right. All they were were people to talk to to Eren, they wouldn't have understood him if he told them his one secret. Then, what would that make Mina? A substitute? For who? Levi?

" If you really wanted to keep your secret, then you should have put more effort into hiding it."

" What are you talking about?! What secret?!"

" I knew from the first time we met, that you were just like me, Eren."

" If I'm like you, then what are we?"

" I figured it out after you had told me with your subtle hints. I'm a sociopath, and so are you."

" ..... I guess you figured it out then huh?" Eren could feel the tears in his eyes, but he wasn't the only one in tears, " I guess that makes the both of us, we're sociopaths and we'd kill for the other's love and attention."

Levi broke down and landed on his knees in front of Eren. The brunette came closer to the raven and brought his lips to Levi's forehead before holding the raven in his arms.

" ... Let's go home, Eren."

AN: Here's another long chapter for you guys, and I'm thinking two more chapters of this and it'll be finished. So let's see what happens next, see ya!!!
