Chapter Text
"Eren, it's getting late why don't you go home?" Mikasa urged, Mikasa is a nurse that assists Eren with work and also his adopted sister. Mikasa hated it when Eren would do this, he'll always be in his office typing away at his computer. It was his time to clock out and get some rest but every day she would have forcefully make Eren move from his desk, he was a huge workaholic and that worries her to no end. It's true that his the most talented and the best doctor as far as his skills go, burden by high expectations by his colleagues and father who owns Maria Hospital.
However that is no excuse to be neglecting his own health!
Eren continued to ignore Mikasa, this made her even more angry. She walked towards him and shook him hard by the shoulders. Eren gasp, finally he had notice the dark haired woman, fuming with furrowed brows. The brunet swiveled around to look at his assistant nurse in confusion, wondering why on earth is she angry all of a sudden.
"Eren. Home. Now!"
"But-"
"No buts. Go home or I'll drag you there myself!"
Eren quickly raised his hands to placate Mikasa, sighing deeply. He had a lot of things to get done, the paper work was piling up like crazy. But he knew that he could not argue with Mikasa, especially since she's determine, she'll never let it go until she gets what she wants.
"Alright, alright Mika I'll go" Eren stated calmly.
"Go first, I'll lock everything up and close the lights" At that Eren nodded, thoughtfully he organised the papers and place them carefully in his bag. He looked out the window, it was dark, he didn't realize how long he had been in the hospital, typing away at his computer. Eren took the elevator down, the patients are all soundly asleep and there was hardly anyone around, only a couple of lights were still on, but other than that the hospital felt dark and empty. Well it doesn't bother him too much, since the hospital is like his second home than anywhere else.
He lived in an apartment, and is able to make a decent living, he never really had to care about things financially.
Eren decided to buy some groceries, stock up for some more ramen.
Yes. Ramen.
Because he can't cook, it's always convenient as it is quick and easy to whip up, he can then concentrate on his work more.
Satisfied, he continued to head home only to hear a loud bang. Startled, Eren turned abruptly around to see two dark figures in the dark shadows of an alleyway. Curiosity overcame him and Eren squinted his eyes to see what was happening. There was a short dark figure, a kid? and a tall one facing each other. The shorter figure figure grasped it's left arm in pain and the taller figure lifted up something that may appear as a gun... WAIT THAT IS A GUN!
Eren's eyes widen, realizing what is transpiring in front of him. The kid had been shot and the man was about to shoot him again, but something shocking happened before the man can fire, the shorter dark figure stoop low and swiftly charged at the taller figure with grace and agility. The kid kicked the gun out of the man's hand, followed by another kick to the stomach, making the taller one fall on it's back. It all happened so fast, the shorter figure now has it's grasp on it's opponent's gun and pulled the trigger. Eren stepped back in fear, once the gun was fired it lit up the alleyway for a brief moment, revealing that the shorter figure was not a kid, but a very short man. Had just shot the guy on the ground in the head with no hesitation.
The brunet shuffled quietly where he stood, before promptly hiding behind the wall, he couldn't run or the assaulter might notice and shoot him with his gun. Eren held his breath, he couldn't believe what he had just witness, someone was murdered in cold blood. Eren spent his whole life saving lives, now he has to see it taken away purposefully. Well it wasn't a one sided murder, the short man who survived the ordeal was definitely shot in the arm.
"Ah.. FUCK!" Eren gulped when he heard the man curse.
"Bastard fucking shot me in the arm"
The brunet crouched down and decided to quietly crawl away. And like a horrible horror movie, instead of stepping on a twig he stepped on a empty plastic bottle, making that crunching sound echo into the night. Eren wanted to skin those who litter for now on, he might've have escaped if someone didn't have the audacity to litter plastic bottles, such as this one on the floor!
Almost immediately he heard a deep, sensual voice behind him "Oi, you there. turn around."
Eren closed his eyes disappointingly, biting his lip, slowly turning around, Eren raised his hands in the air to show the man that he was in fact harmless. Once faced with the stranger, his eyes widen as he takes in his appearance, he was sporting a slick black undercut, with intimating steel blue eyes, wearing a black suit however this doesn't stop Eren from noticing that this midget was quite well-developed in musculature form. Eren then eyed the wound on the raven's left arm, it was bleeding profusely down his arm.
"You like staring, huh shitty brat?"
"Uhh.. erm... don't kill me" Eren winced as he knew that the man was still holding onto the gun, potentially loaded. At the brunet's response the raven chuckled lowly, his eyes narrowed and Eren shifted nervously, he can feel the man's piercing stare, almost like how a predator corners it's prey.
"Oh. And you think I'll let you go after you witnessing such a thing?" Eren shivered, now trending on dangerous territory, seeing how quickly this person can kill someone in a matter of seconds, it's safe to know that one wrong move, he might get his head blown straight off. The brunet kept steady eye contact, he pursed his lips in thought and an idea finally made it's appearance to give him a chance to survive yet another day.
"Look, I am a doctor. That arm of yours I can patch up and disinfect it for you"
"A doctor? a brat like you?" Eren couldn't help but roll his eyes and nodded sheepishly.
"Yes, a brat like me. Do you want to bleed out?"
"Why would you want to help me?"
"Oh wow, maybe because I don't want to die?" The brunet answered sarcastically.
The brunet approached the raven carefully, he needed to elevate his arm above the heart to reduce the blood flow and apply direct pressure to the wound. With that in mind Eren pulled the raven's sleeve up to reveal the wound, and with all the strength he can muster, he ripped a decent sized strip from his white dress shirt, skillfully wrapping around the wound, carefully applying pressure to stop the bleeding.
Eren could see the man raise his brow with amusement, a smirk playing at his lips.
What the hell is he smiling about?
Eren sighed deeply as he approached the amused raven, and slung the man's right arm over his shoulder. The sudden movement slightly surprised him, his eyes widen slightly, but after a while Eren could feel his body relax. It was beyond him how the guy can still smirk after being shot in the arm. Eren helped the man walk steadily, the brunet looked back over his shoulder and frowned. He didn't want to leave a dead body without notifying the authorities. But frankly he had to think about himself for a change.
After a while of walking the man finally decided to ask "Where are you taking me?"
Eren raised his brow "To the police?" at that his steely blue eyes narrow dangerously.
"To my apartment" he added quickly, note to self don't joke about that stuff, especially since your life is in danger.
Finally Eren had arrived in front of his apartment, he maneuvered around the stranger to open the door. His apartment was quite spacious, it had a nice view of the city. He wasn't much a spender so the room was decorated simply however he couldn't help but adorn it with luxurious furniture.
"Here take a seat" He gestured to the huge white sofa, before switching on the lights. The man raised his brow inquisitively, without a word he took a seat. His right arm slung on the back pillows, his leg crossed over the other. Eren would had have to admit he looked pretty suave sitting on his couch like that, but this wasn't the time to linger on how sexy this man was. Eren sat next to the raven on his left, to check the wound. Taking out medical equipment and tools kept in a drawer, now he would need to disinfect it with antibiotics and clean it thoroughly.
He was quite impressed, even though he was dabbing a cotton of disinfectant on the wound, the stranger wouldn't flinch one bit.
"You know you don't have to act tough"
"What. this is nothing" He stated bluntly with a scowl on his face. This man was not only intimidating, with eyes that can burn a hole through the wall with how furrowed they are. They might actually be worst compared to Mikasa's glare and that's saying something. Eren was curious about the person, at the same time he figured it might be better to get this over and done with so the raven could leave.
"Levi..."
"What?" Eren looked up, when the raven decided to speak out.
"My name idiot"
"Oh, my names Eren" The brunet responded nonchalantly, he focused on the wound. He didn't necessarily like to be distracted by anything else when performing treatment, this is also a contributing factor due to his workaholic nature. Ever since he was a kid, he wanted to walk in his father's footsteps so he studied and worked hard, of course his efforts weren't in vain. Ever since he graduated from medical school, he quickly rose up in the rankings, earning praise from his father which will fill him up with pride and accomplishment. Don't get him wrong he didn't do solely for his father he loved his job, saving and treating people with many unique characteristics and stories was enough to make him happy.
"There all done, thanks for being patient" Eren was satisfied with the result, the bullet wasn't lodged in very deep so it could be easily removed and no bones were shattered which made this treatment much more easier. The wound was cleaned, stitched up and bandaged up. He couldn't help but notice, on the Levi's arm there is a detailed dragon tattoo coiled around his arm like a snake. Who exactly is he?
"Finally, you decided to pay attention to me shitty brat" Levi lifted his bandaged arm and eyed his handiwork more closely before adding "Hm not bad."
"Okay, now can you leave?"
"Trying to get rid of me already?" He shifted his steel blue eyes towards bright green eyes.
"Of course you killed someone in front of my very eyes!"
"It was necessary, you were watching weren't you? He shot me first, the fucker didn't hold his end of the deal"
"What the hell are you?" Eren narrowed his eyes at Levi. What deal exactly is he talking about?
"Human?" Levi smirked playfully.
"Stop messing with me, are you some kind of Mafia?"
"Yes in fact I am"
"I am the boss of the gang actually" he answered matter-of-factually.
Eren's eyes widen, he didn't want to be right. Levi admitted it like it was nothing. Well either way he decided to help the devil to save his own ass. It's not like he hasn't witness death before, in fact he was too familiar with it. Eren stared at his hands with a frown on his face.
"I wonder what else those hands can do?" Levi raised his brow suggestively. Eren quickly changed his attention from his hands to Levi's smug face, a smirk plastered face indicating that no doubt the raven was thinking of something lewd.
Okay this bastard needs to go.
He really wants Levi to leave, but as a doctor he'll have to see him to the end. To think that he has an mafia in his apartment, it just wasn't his day today even though curiosity did get the better of him which ultimately lead him to this unfavorable situation. Levi was currently relaxing on his sofa, his head tilt up and eyes closed inhaling and exhaling softly. Eren didn't know what to do or think, perhaps the raven was planning to stay over for just one night.
Ignoring Levi's previous indecent comment "Um... Levi, was it? Why don't take my bed, and I'll take the couch for tonight?" There's nothing wrong with trying to get on the good side on someone so dangerous. Levi opened one eye to look at Eren curiously, without a word he unwind his leg and stood up abruptly. Before Eren could react, swiftly Levi wrapped his right arm around his neck and dragged him all the way to the bed. Eren gagged, he felt like he was getting choked by the sheer force, how can a midget like him be so strong?! He then felt himself fall backwards and his back impacted on the soft cushions of the mattress resulting in a loud creaking noise. The brunet tried to get up, only to slowly glance up and take a glimpse at Levi who was currently looking down on him.
"What.. are you doing?"
"Stop trying to act curt shitty brat"
Eren could not get anymore confused and why was Levi glaring at him like that exactly?
Finally the glare that was presented on the ravens face gradually shifted to a smirk. Which only made the brunet even more uncomfortable, his teal-green eyes unsteadily focused on Levi's narrowed steel-blue eyes.
"W-wait, hold on... Stay where you are!" Eren yelled in a fluster, and once he felt weight at the end of the mattress was more than enough to indicate that Levi was climbing on the bed after him. Every time Levi would advance, Eren would respond by shuffling backwards until he hits the headboard of the bed, now that's when he had no where left to go. Eren could feel his heart pick up speed as Levi approached him closer and closer, at a very agonizing pace. Eren shifted his eyes left and right, trying to figure out how to escape.
"Why are you trying to run away?" Levi breathe seductively on his ear, making him gasp and made his cheeks tint pink. Eren didn't know what was Levi thinking but he knew it wasn't any good. He felt cornered, Levi was too close for comfort, Eren could feel Levi's breath slowly hit his ear. He was absolutely trapped, Levi made sure of it by hovering above him, his arms are situated on both sides of the brunet's head.
"Get off of me!" Eren grabbed Levi's shoulders firmly and tried push Levi off of him.
"Be careful you just treated me, right doctor?" He said with a playful smile, an emphasizes on 'doctor'. Eren's eyes widen and he softly let go of Levi's shoulder. He bit his lips, trying to figure out his next step and what Levi might be planning. It is true that pushing Levi, or any extensive actions may cause the wound to open. Eren clicked his tongue in annoyance, this basically means that he can't do anything to the damn mafia.
"About your offer before... I accept, however we'll both take the bed" He said in a low voice.
"But-"
"No buts brat" Levi placed his finger on his lips to silence him. What the hell, he is just like Mikasa except scarier!
"F-Fine do whatever you want!" Eren shouted and looked away with a pout. This made Levi chuckle softly, now that he thinks about it what he had said sounded quite suggestive. Fuck he messed up! He shakily looked up once again to Levi's face, his jaw drops from the view. Levi loosening his tie, stripping off his blazer and white dress shirt revealing his chiseled muscles and impressive 6 pack, his body was adorn with tattoos. A detailed dragon coiled down from his shoulder to his toned right arm, on his left shoulder blade was a feathered wing that reached his waist. Damn he had to admit this guy was smoking hot!
For a shorty that is, looking at his physique, teenagers are probably taller than him but he'll keep that to himself.
"Why are you stripping?!" The brunet yelled, his face turning red by the sight.
"I like to sleep naked" Levi smirked knowingly. Eren knew that Levi was messing with him, his smug face just shows that Levi is getting a kick out of his reactions. Well hopefully, Levi would at least keep his pants on. Which he does... Phew. Eren then watches Levi roll off him and lay beside him.
There was this awkward silence polluting the atmosphere.
"Levi?" Eren questioned softly, he wondered how can he sleep with an half-naked man beside him.
"Your not used to people seducing you right?" He suddenly inquired.
"W-What?" Eren's eyes widen considerably.
"Are you deaf brat, don't make me repeat myself"
"Seriously, I don't know what you are talking about"
The raven let out a deep sigh and ran his hand through his black silky hair. The brat next to him was cute and attractive, he had big bright teal green eyes, chocolate brown hair and tanned delicious skin, he also had quite an decent, toned physique. Not only did the kid taken him to his apartment to be treated, he could tell that Eren was too kind for his own good. If it was up to him he would already pounced on the brat and had his way with him. Levi felt a little guilty for the brunet who watch him shoot someone in the head back in the alleyway, it couldn't be helped since it's a tough world out there and this rich and oblivious brat was probably blind to it. He is a doctor that saves lives, Levi is a mafia that takes lives, both had a hand in playing with life and death. The moment he caught Eren trying to escape quietly back then, He was intrigued. And surprisingly the brat was cheeky enough to be sarcastic around with him, despite seeing someone die before your very eyes he actually took it quite well. Eren is good at what he does, Levi couldn't help but be curious. He'll contact Hanji and Erwin tomorrow and notify them what had happened.
He gritted his teeth when he thought about them.
"Forget it, you insufferable kid go to sleep!" Levi turned away to the side leaving Eren speechless.
The brunet wanted to say something but decided it was best to keep his mouth shut, after all tomorrow will come and Levi will kindly be on his way. Eren stared at Levi's feathered wing tattoo on his back, he had an urge to run his fingers down it but thought better of it. He laid on his back and shut his eyes slowly, yes once morning comes he'll talk to Armin and Mikasa about what had happened and start work, he can't forget work.
