Eren's whole brain began to panic as the older male's lips leaned in to meet him. It's been so long since he's been kissed and he was just so used to the thought that he would feel pain when made physical contact but this time there was none and he was glad. Levi sat on the bed beside him and hungrily kissed him like his life depended on it, he kissed him like he was air, water and good to survive. His lips pushed against the younger male's mouth but he still seemed a little surprised as if trying to realize what was going on.

Eren was trembling really hard as if he were freezing from the cold so the black haired male tried to help out by wrapping his arms around his waist to cage him in his arms. Levi was straddling Eren's lap now and tugged lovingly on his bottom lip for permission. When he didn't respond, Levi lifted the hem of Eren's shirt which immediately got a response out of the younger boy.

"Levi, not here-" Eren began. It was a bad decision to even talk in the first place because it gave Levi a chance to snake his tongue in his mouth.

"Levi- nghf! N-not...now. Just wait until we- ngh get home," Eren whispered as his face started to heat up.

"Why? No one's going to see us, you idiot," Levi said in a quiet voice as he explored his boyfriend's mouth. "I've waited long enough, haven't I?"

Eventually Eren gave up and melted into the already heated kiss. He missed this so much and he just couldn't believe this was happening. It was a little clumsy but it was way better than nothing now that Eren couldn't feel pain. Somehow it felt like their first kiss all over again and the both could still remember it.

Levi was still attempting to remove Eren's stupid shirt but that chance was impossible right now. Eren smacked away his hand and grinned a little. Levi didn't like not getting his way because he was the dominant one and he always got what he wanted. His hands crawled back to where they were and skillfully swiped off the shirt and he felt quite pleased with himself.

Eren quickly pulled away from Levi and glared at him. There was a small smirk forming on his mouth when he saw his expression.

"You're so skinny now," Levi said with a small sigh.

"Shut the fuck up."

"Hey lighten up. I didn't say I didn't like it," Levi muttered and furrowed his eyebrows. "Now you're more pale so maybe that would make marks more visible..."

"Don't you fucking dare."

"Why not?" Levi mumbled quietly as he placed his mouth on his Adam's apple, whispering on it which gave Eren the chills. "I'll leave just a few."

Without even waiting for an answer, he shoved his mouth onto Eren's once more. He was kissing him in such a chaotic way that looked as if he was trying to eat his mouth, kind of like those hormonal, teenage couples would in high school hallways. Though this was not lust or desire at all. Levi needed to know that Eren was actually a breathing, living person at this very moment.

Eren shuddered when he felt the older male's tongue graze his and started to lightly suck on it which kind of surprised him. It was a little unusual because Levi would usually only kiss him for a few seconds and than start marking him but this time it was a little different.

Levi pulled away a few moments after and wiped his mouth clean from any spit. His hands grazed Eren's waist as he grinned a little. Eren looked a little dizzy but his concentration was all on Levi.

"Can you tip your head a little to the side?" Levi asked with a menacing look in his eyes.

Eren did as he was told. "Why?"

Levi didn't answer as he slipped his lips onto the pale skin of his neck and left a small trail of kisses and smirked when Eren shivered.

"Are you allowed to come home yet?" he asked with furrowed brows.

"Nope," Eren answered with a sigh. "Well I feel like shit and my skin feels like it was just burnt so of course I'm going to stay here a little longer. You can wait a few days, right?"

"Tch," Levi muttered with disappointment in his voice. "That's too long."

"You still visit me."

"It isn't the same," he told him grumpily with a small frown.

"At least I'm alright now. Weird to know that your blood is running through my veins now."

"That sounded fucking disgusting."

"You know it's true."

Levi felt happy that Eren survived but that didn't satisfy his thirst for vengeance. Grisha was still out there, plotting a new trick he would play on Eren next after they thought he was probably safe. Eren would never be safe if his own father was still roaming this earth and Levi wanted him eliminated. All Levi ever wanted was for Eren to feel safe and happy he couldn't do that if Grisha was still alive.

A few days have passed now and they were both peacefully relaxing at home to catch up all the time they could have spent together. Levi was sipping slowly at his mint tea while Eren was playing LoL on his laptop while stealing a few glances of Levi. The older man's hands were in fists when not drinking tea which made Eren slightly curious.

"You look like you might murder someone," he said loud enough for Levi to hear.

"I will soon."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Levi replied with a small sigh.

"Oh come on, Levi, you can tell me anything," Eren insisted. "Is something bothering you?"

"It's nothing, really," Levi insisted as he took a few more sips from his mug.

Little did Eren know that Levi was internally plotting a plan to find Grisha and this time he would not get away. Grisha was not going to escape alive and Levi would not give up until he's dead. Eren just shrugged and continued on with his game as plans and thoughts zoomed inside Levi's brain.

Weeks passed and both Eren and Levi were extremely busy with work and study so they couldn't see each other as much anymore. Eren was still choosing which college he wanted to attend but he decided he was going to study a little more and Levi was stuck at the doctor's office and taking care of kids who were idiotic enough to break a bone or catch the flu.

The sun was shining awfully bright that day but it didn't matter since Levi was probably going to stay until it was very dark because there were so many patients that day. It annoyed him but at least he was getting paid. It was so busy since there wasn't so many nurses and doctors but they managed to survive.

Levi was looking at a few papers of an anonymous patient who seemed to have skin problems and he had to deal with it right away. He power walked his way down the hall and turned to the right to enter a room where his patient would be waiting. He was still reading the paper tiredly as he greeted the patient.

"Erwin isn't here today so I'm filling in for him. I'm doctor Levi-"

His mouth gaped slightly open when he saw who it was. There was a beautiful lady sitting in the chair in the corner of the room with her legs crossed gracefully. Her short, orange-ish hair was flowing down her shoulders and she smiled brightly.

"Hi," Petra said simply with a shy grin.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Levi demanded.

"Skin problem, remember?"

"That's a fucking lie. You never had skin problems and lying is bad. I have so many other patients and I'm just wasting my breath talking to you. Bye," Levi hissed and started to leave.

"Wait! This is important. I came here for a reason."

"You have ten seconds to explain," he snapped.

"Eren said you've been acting funny lately and he just wanted to know what was going on," she said.

"Why couldn't he just tell me himself? We live together."

"That's because you would always brush it off and I know that because when we used to date you would always steer away from certain topics."

Levi cringed when she mentioned the fact that they used to go out together.

"Eren's alive and you're okay I guess so why are you acting as if you're trying to hide something? Even Hanji and Erwin seemed to notice a few things too. They said you wouldn't answer any texts or calls and Eren said you were always cooped up in your room."

"I was studying and I don't like to be distracted," he lied.

"You graduated college four years ago," she told him and rolled her eyes. "Come on just spit it out."

"Why would I tell you?"

"Because I know things and I can help you if necessary. I knew secrets you might want to know," she explained in a sing-song voice.

Levi remained silent and crossed his arms stubbornly as he avoided her gaze but her eyes seemed to burn through him. He looked up again and answered boldly.

"I'm trying to find someone."
