Loving You

I'm

-Levi POV-

An owl hooted, a shrill sound in the silent night. The raven lay restless on his bed. He knew Eren's family could be harsh. And mean. They were ashamed of their being a gay person in the family. But every year, they made Eren attend family gatherings. To mock and ridicule him.

 Levi had begged him not to go, only to have to go to go through that pain. But the brunet could not be reasoned with. It was family tradition, no matter how toxic it was. The brunet had promised his late mother to never cut off him ties with his family, no matter what.

 He had lost his father at a young age, and his mother, who had meant the world to him, was now gone too. Eren treasured his bonds, and he would never go back on his word.

 So Eren had worn his best clothes, and braced himself, as he had dived deep, straight into the nightmarish hellhole.

The ringing of the doorbell awoke Levi from his thoughts. He lay there, not wanting to get up, hoping the (visitor) would leave. The knocking became more frantic and urgent as time went by, forcing Levi to move from the comfort of his bed. 

He glanced at the clock as he went down the landing, grumbling even more as he found it was past midnight. He unlocked the door, rubbing his eyes from lack of sleep, only for his eyes to grow wide, and his heart twist in pain as he took in the scene before him.

There stood Eren, in the suit and tie he had worn to impress his family. His beloved Eren, tears streaming down his face, launched himself into the raven's arms. 

Those fucking bastards. 

Levi lifted Eren up, bolting the door before carrying the brunet upstairs. He gently placed him on his bed, not having time to feel self-conscious to being only in his boxers as his boyfriend was fully dressed, as he took in Eren's state.

 His faced creased in worry, for the brunet wouldn't meet his eyes, continuing to stare desolately into space, too lost in his pain to notice the never ending tears streaming down the brunets face.

Levi crouched down, his face leveling the others, but their eyes still not meeting. He turned Eren's head his way, forcing the brunet to look at him. As they locked eyes, Levi could see his vision turn red. 

I want to go and murder those fucking bastards this instant. How dare they! 

Eren's eyes looked broken and bare. Gone was the sparkle. Gone were the beautiful bright flecks of green it was now an empty void. Levi forced himself to calm down. He lifted his head slightly, brushing his curls out of the way and kissing the brunets forehead softly.

"Hey brat," said Levi softly. Eren looked up at the sound, finally acknowledging Levi. His hands wrapped around Levi's torso as the raven got up, burying his head in Levis chest. Levi felt his heartbeat speed up as the brunet's warm breath hit his naked chest. 

Now wasnt the time to think like that. He chided himself. Eren needed him.

"Hey. Baby. C'mere." Levi wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, lifting him up. It didn't seem like Eren wanted to talk about that night just yet. "Let's get you some sleep, alright?" he whispered in Eren's ear, before softly laying the brunet on the center of the bed. 

He turned off the light, enfuldging the room into darkness, other than the crack of moonlight escaping through the curtains. He got under the sheets, laying the brunets head on his chest and wrapping both arms around him as Eren cuddled up to him. He lay stroking the curly bob of hair, watching as the brunet fell into a restless sleep.
