The sky was very chilly but the sun was still shining bright as ever. Levi halted to a stop as a tall figure caught his gaze and he smacked Erwin squarely in the stomach to silently get his attention. The blonde make made a coughing sound as air was knocked out of him but his eyes followed where Levi was pointing.

There was a tall, slender and dirty looking man leaning against a tree with a hat tipped down his face as if he were sleeping. He had some kind of tattered suit case beside him and it seemed to be over filled by the way it looked which was lumpy. Levi knew he could be Grisha because there was a pair of round glasses sitting in his lap. It had to be him.

Erwin looked over at Levi and raised his eyebrows as if trying to tell him 'are you sure that's the guy?' which Levi nodded in response. Everything around them went silent and cold and it was as if he were walking towards the man in slow motion as intensity filled the sky. Erwin nudged something in Levi's hand and by the way it felt it was definitely a gun.

Although he was the one holding a weapon, he let the other male lead the way. He had some kind of syringe which was filled to the brim with a scarlet coloured liquid. He hid it behind his back like anyone would but he was poised to attack with it at any given moment.

They were finally in front of the man who was recognized as Grisha and stopped walking. This was too easy; there was no possible way that a man genius like Grisha would be easily found in the park napping. Levi didn't know him much but he knew he was too smart for that.

Levi narrowed his gaze as he gently tapped the man's shoe with his toe to get him to wake up which was probably a mistake because it caused the hat on the so called man to fall off his face and finally expose who he was.

It was a dummy.

"What the fuck," Levi cursed aloud and kicked the dummy violently with anger. "He's tricking us, isn't he? He knows we're trying to find him."

"Levi, run," Erwin said frantically.

"What-"

"I said run. I've been in this cliché situation before and it isn't fun at all, trust me."

Levi did as he was told and started to run as fast as he could towards the exit of the park. His gun was still in his hand which caught the many awed stares of families and people passing by. The air was chilling him to the bone but even so he felt himself sweat.

"Why are we running?" Levi said as he gasped for air.

"Something's up. He's probably trying to get us into a trap."

They continued running until they reached the park entrance and huffed for much needed oxygen. They were completely drained and had almost no energy left. Just when Levi was going to ask more questions, he felt something puncture him in the back and he immediately felt sharp and hot pain run down his veins. He screamed silently as he fell to the ground. Before Erwin could react, he also fell in pain.

The two men had no idea what was happening and for some reason, they were unable to speak or even move; It was like experiencing sleep paralysis and that was always terrifying. The only thing on Levi's body that was able to move were his soundless lips and twitching fingertips but he couldn't do much but wonder what had happen to them.

There was a tall figure leaning over them and by now they could both hear the horrified screaming of innocent citizens. Levi couldn't see much but their attacker's boots were spiked as if used as a weapon if necessary. Levi grit his teeth in anger as his body refused to cooperate and move, he was paralyzed.

"Oh, Erwin, you were right," a deep and mischievous told them. "I thought you two were smarter than this. I actually thought you were able to get away."

"Grisha-"

Eren was lying in the half empty bed, thinking of scenarios of where Levi could possible be at the moment.

Maybe he's at the hospital, Eren thought. He also thought maybe Levi was at the library or maybe buying groceries but Levi wasn't the kind of person to wake up early unless it was work or something very, very urgent. Eren settled down with the thought that maybe he was just at work. He couldn't blame him, really, he missed a lot of days when Eren fell ill.

He decided to call Hanji to see if Levi was there because even thought they were always together very often, he wanted to hear his voice and his voice only at the moment. The voice of the person whom he fell in love with.

Hanji finally picked up and answered cheerfully.

"Good morning, Eren," she said and although Eren couldn't see her, he knew she was smiling. She smiled a lot honestly.

"Hi, Hanji," he replied. "Is Levi around?"

"Nope! Haven't see him since a few days ago. He said he was taking the day off so that he could be with you. Is he not there?"

"No...he left this morning so I figured he was at work. Are you sure you haven't seen him?"

"Yeah I'm sure," Hanji said. "Sorry I couldn't help."

"It's fine. Thanks for answering. Bye, Hanji."

"Bye, Eren!"

He sighed as he fell backwards back into bed. Maybe he was with Isabel and Farlan since they were his childhood friends. Eren didn't have any contact number of theirs so he decided to see if they were online on League of legends.

FaranChachii joined the room.

Izaberu joined the room.

Izaberu: hai eren

Faranchachii: is there a reason to why you have summoned me

JaegerBomb: srry for bothering you two but is there a chance that levi is at your place?

Izaberu: nah

FaranChachii: we havent seen him lately actually

JaegerBomb: ****

FaranChachii: eren whats wrong

Izaberu: did he go missing or somthin or

JaegerBomb: hes not home or at work and he wont answer his f****** cellphone and im freaking the **** out

Izaberu: maybe he just decided not to answer his cellphone bc hes somewhere important

Faranchachii: ^

JaegerBomb: he always answer his cellphone no matter what. what if hes cheating on me?!!!1!1

Izaberu: omf he is not. hes not that kind of person and he talks about you all the time every time we play a game. cute but annoying as ****

FaranChachii: true

Izaberu: if he doesnt return home by midnight you should contact the police in the morning. maybe he did go missing.

JaegerBomb: ... alright

Izaberu: dw about him so much. if he did get kidnapped or something i doubt hed be killed. hes too strong

FaranChachii: **** now im getting worried about him

JaegerBomb: sorry for bothering you guys. im going to...wait until he gets home...hopefully

FaranChachii: bye eren!

Izaberu: see you later eren!11!1!!

Eren slammed down his laptop and started to swear aloud. He pulled at his hair as he took deep breaths and tried to calm himself down slowly which took a little longer than expected. He was so worried now; so worried that he could be mad at Levi for making him this nervous. He silently prayed Levi was fine and hopefully not hurt.

He couldn't believe this was happening. The love and joy of his life disappeared in a small amount of time. Why was this happening and why did it have to be him? Love was such a beautiful and colourful emotion but why was it making him suffer so much?

"Now listen closely," Grisha sneered. "Tell me where he is and maybe there's a chance I'll let you live."

Erwin and Levi were in a very dark room and almost couldn't see anything at all. The only light source were a few candles but they didn't do much. The only thing they managed to see was Grisha's evil face and it didn't help in the slightest.

It was like they were transported into some really crappy and cliché action and drama film where the heroes are kidnapped and tied up in an unknown location and in this case, it was real. Levi's wrists were burning and felt raw from the rope rubbing against his sore and bruised skin and Erwin looked barely alive.

"Fuck you," Levi replied for maybe the a twentieth time. "What makes you think I'll tell you anything?"

"Ah I guess you're right. Lucky for you, I found your cellphone with all the contacts of your dear friends," Grisha told him with a mischievous smirk. "And they seem to live in your area. All I have to do is find them and kill them then disappear without a trace. That sounds great, doesn't it?"

"You wouldn't dare-"

"Oh yes I would," he interrupted sharply.

Levi didn't understand why he would commit murder just to get close to Eren because it was seriously unnecessary and uncalled for. Maybe he knew he was homosexual and happened to be very, very homophobic.

"Why do you want Eren so bad?"

"He's my son; my own flesh and blood that I've cared and loved for so long. What kind of father wouldn't want to be with their son?"

"You're a fucking liar," Levi spat. "You want to kill him, you dipshit!"

"You speak the words of truth. He has something I desire."
