Loving You

Worried

-Eren POV-

He needed to stop. To take a breath. His chest was heaving up and down heavily. He needed to stop running. He was going to collapse. But he couldn't. Stopping would mean having to face them. His family. He couldn't bear to see their faces, mocking him, ridiculing him, filled with hate.

A bright light shined down on him, blinding him momentarily. His mother's warm face smiled down on him.

"Don't cut off contact with your family sweetie. They are your flesh and blood. I've always regretted it. I don't want you to make the same mistakes as me." Her soft hands brushed his cheek softly, as he stopped to hold her in his arms.

That was a fatal mistake. A hand swiped across her shocked face, making her fade away. His eyes met an evil sneer, which lit up his uncle's face. His entire family surrounded him, eyes filled with hatred staring down at him. He felt their disgust. They faces covered in shame. He was a freak. He didn't belong there. Anywhere. He dint have a home. Nobody would ever accept him. He should just go and die already. Their voiced echoed in his head, a never ending beat. Their faces swam across his vision, turning blurry, as they shook him hard by the shoulder....

"Ah!" he bolted up, disoriented. 

He was there. They were harassing him. He had felt suffocated. But all of a sudden, he felt safe. He felt like everything was going to be okay.

Before he could awaken from his nightmare, he felt a sudden shift of weight beside him, and he was enveloped into a hug, arms tightening around him, his face pressed into a broad chest.

 This was comfortable. It felt safe. It felt right. It was warm. He didn't yet realize what it was, but he could feel himself melting into their arms. He could feel the warmth seeping in through the cracks. His heartbeat returned to normal, and the ringing in his ears was replaced by peaceful silence. He felt content. He was safe. It was all okay. It felt as though he was finally.... home.

The other person pulled away, making the brunet finally adjust his eyesight, only to stare right into piercing ash gray orbs. His heart skipped a beat. 

What was going on? 

 He tore his eyes away to study his surroundings, only to realize he was in his boyfriend's bedroom. He was in Levi's bed, in what seemed like the dead of the night, legs entangled around him. Levi's head was tousled from sleep, but his eyes were alert, staring at Eren with a troubled look on his pale face.
