The Ereri Project!

Blood (Vampire)

Levi stares at the boy unconscious on the floor.

He has been following Eren for almost a year now. Usually he goes in for the kill after a few weeks at most, but this boy... he isn't going to kill him.

Levi has read the Twilight novels, keeping on top of what lore the humans are subscribing to is always a good way to outsmart them, and the only thing that even seemed kind of correct about them was how Edward liked Bella initially because she smelled different.

Of course individuals would smell different from each other; what the creator of Twilight didn't quite get was why that should be important.

Scent is one of the only outward ways to find your soulmate.

Most humans use it unconsciously but vampires (already with a heightened sense of smell to pick out what is actually human) use it to pick their prey: never kill a human who still has a living soulmate.

He himself had been nearly killed in an accident and had been revived as a vampire by his sire, Erwin. He's been searching for his soulmate ever since.

Needless to say, he'd been surprised to find out his own soulmate wouldn't be born for almost fifty years after he died.

Levi kneels over the boy, smelling him and getting a good look at his face. Definitely his.

Eren is a little worse for wear, a street fight turned warehouse fight left him bleeding out slowly. Levi lifts the fragile body into his arms.

He wonders how Eren would feel about waking up a bloodsucker.

He wonders if Eren had even had the opportunity to dream about fate strings and had seen Levi's face. He wonders how Eren would react to seeing his soulmate for the first time.

He'd heard somewhere before that the moment you and your soulmate meet for the first time is the only time you can consciously see your fate strings.

He wonders what the red string would look like outside of a dream.

Levi wagers he only has a few more minutes to decide if he really wants to turn Eren into a bloodsucker like him.

It isn't as though Hanji isn't looking for alternatives to human blood but there isn't one that works for everyone yet, most of her concoctions make Levi vomit or at least nauseous.

Eren would probably have to feed from Levi directly for a few months if he couldn't deal with taking blood from a human.

Levi sighs and bites his hand open, laying the cut over Eren's mouth in hopes some makes it down his throat.

The boy's eyes snap open, glowing red and he begins devouring Levi's hand.

To his credit, Levi doesn't flinch much despite the rough treatment, simply satisfied to see the bruises and the cuts on the brunette fading quickly as he drinks more of Levi in.

He stops suddenly and Levi shudders at the feeling of fangs exiting his skin. Eren looks at his face, his eyes going back to their normal shade. "You're-"

Levi half notices from the corner of his eye a red string tied around his pinky and laying across the floor connecting to Eren's. He smiles. "I'm your soul mate."

Eren grins and, in his extreme excitement, jumps on Levi, hugging him. "I knew it. I kept having dreams about you, I knew you must have been coming soon."

"Sorry for making you wait."

Eren shakes his head in Levi's shoulder. "No, you're right on time."

Levi knows they should move. He knows dawn will be breaking within the next two hours and they aren't under enough cover to be protected.

But he also knows how wonderful it feels to finally have his arms around Eren so he can't really bring himself to care.
