Levi pulled out and hugged Eren tight. He wiped away the tears that had slipped from Eren's eyes. "Eren I don't want to hurt you, I never want to, please." Levi's voice croaked.

Eren froze at the sincerity in Levi's voice. He truly meant it, he didn't know whether that eased his feelings slightly or hurt more. In a way, it did both. It made him think maybe Levi wasn't cheating on him, maybe there was some other explanation, but if there wasn't he knew that statement would hurt him all the more.

"Eren, I know what you're doing, please, please don't torture yourself like this," Levi said wrapping his arms around him and kissing him on his forehead.

"I don't know what you mean," Eren said in a hushed tone knowing Levi was going to call him out on his bull shit.

"You want me to hurt you, you want me to invoke memories of them. It's not you wanting this Eren, it's your depression. I won't do it, I will not hurt you." Levi said to him before sitting up and pulling Eren into his lap.

Eren buried his face in Levi's chest as the tears silently streamed down his face. Levi was right.

Levi ran his fingers through Eren's hair and place a kiss on his forehead. "I've got you, it's okay," Levi whispered a few times to calm Eren down.

Eren picked his head up and gave Levi a soft peck on the lips.

"We should get some sleep," Levi suggested as he moved Eren's hair out of his eyes.

"Actually, can we continue, but the right way," Eren asked shyly.

"If that's what you want," Levi said with a soft light hearted smile.

Levi placed a soft kiss on Eren's lips gradually making it more passionate. His hand found its way to Eren's hip and he slowly traced his fingers down from Eren's hip to his entrance.

"You ready," Levi asked into the kiss.

Eren nodded slightly signaling Levi to continue.

"This time, let me know if it's too much," Levi said before gently sliding a finger into Eren's entrance. A second later he added a second one.

Eren squirmed a bit trying to get used to them as Levi prepared him properly this time.

Once Levi was certain that Eren was thoroughly prepared he removed his fingers. This was met with a whimper from Eren at the emptiness.

"Please, Levi put it in." He said embarrassed.

Levi smiled and positioned himself at Eren's entrance. He slowly slid his member in causing Eren to bite his lip to keep from moaning, even so, one slipped through his teeth.

"Mmm." He moaned before closing his eyes and throwing his head back. Levi gave him a minute to get used to it gently rocking his hips. Eren squirmed against him for a moment before matching his light thrusts to show that he was ready.

As Eren was laying flat on the bed Levi wrapped his arm underneath Eren's knee in order to position him so that he would feel good.

"Ready?" Levi asked waiting for confirmation.

Eren nodded and Levi began to move. Eren wrapped his arms behind Levi's neck to stable himself underneath him. "Levi." Eren moaned out as his lover began to gradually speed up.

Levi leaned down pressing his lips to Eren's. When he thrusted deeper Eren gasped into the kiss. Levi pulled away from the kiss and moved on to kissing Eren's neck.

"Levi, ah, more," Eren begged as he let out his moans. He had given up on trying to fight them. Whenever he fought them it seemed to be in vain no matter how hard he bit them back some would always manage to slip through.

"Levi, ah," Eren moaned as Levi picked up his pace. "Levi, I can't, ah," Eren warned as he was approaching his limit.

"Almost." Levi agreed as he was approaching his limit as well.

Levi thrusted all the way in and sped up.

Eren moaned out as the pleasure consumed him. He readjusted his pace to match up with Levi's thrusts. His hands had clawed at Levi's back before releasing their hold and dropping to the bed sheets. He tangled his fingers in the sheets.

Levi's free hand had found it's way to Eren's member. He stroked it fast the pleasure became mind numbing.

"Levi I, ah, please, ah," Eren said unable to form a complete sentence.

Levi understood what Eren meant and sped up as they were both about to reach their limit.

Eren couldn't hold out any longer. "Levi." He called as he reached his climax.

A minute later Levi had pulled out and came.

He flopped down on the bed next to Eren as they rode out their orgasms in pure bliss.

After a while, Levi stood up and got the towels so they could clean themselves up before bed.

Eren sat up as Levi returned.

When they finished they threw the towels in the laundry basket along with their dirty clothes.
"Do you want your pajamas?" Eren asked about to go grab his.

Levi wrapped his arms around Eren's bare stomach and nibbled at his ear. Eren bit his lip at the nice sensation. "I'll get them," Levi whispered a moment later getting up and grabbing them each a pair of underwear and sweats.

"Thanks, babe," Eren said sliding them on and getting under the covers.

"While I'm up should I turn on the AC," Levi asked standing in the middle of the room waiting for an answer.

"Yeah, it usually get's hot at night," Eren said watching Levi nod and walk out of the bedroom to the AC controls on the wall just outside their bedroom.

When he returned he got in the bed and turned off the lamp by hs bedside plunging them into a peaceful darkness. He got under the covers and snuggled up next to Eren.

"I love you, babe." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around his lover holding him close.

Eren turned in Levi's arms so that he could face him. He gave him a peck on the lips, "I love you too." He said before burying his head in the crook of his neck.

He placed a loving kiss on one of the dark marks he had left behind. "Sorry," he whispered referring to the sadness he caused Levi.

"It's okay, Eren, just please never do that again, I never want to hurt you." He said before automatically bringing one of his hands to Eren's cheek wiping away the silent tear that he had known would come.

"I won't do it again," Eren said honestly. "I don't know why I did it in the first place," Eren mumbled.

"I might know, correct me if I'm wrong but I think your depression wants you to feel sad and in pain, and by having me hurt you like-" Levi paused for a moment hesitant to continue. He found the right wording and proceeded his statement with caution. "Like they did, would bring back the bad memories." He said before waiting for Eren to put his input on the situation.

"Sounds about right," Eren answered with a shaky voice.

Levi just wrapped his arms around him a little tighter and pulled him close. He ran his fingers through his hair and rubbed little circles on his back.

Eren, who was still trying to fight his tears, was finding it harder and harder to do so.

"It's okay." Levi whispered, "Just let it out." He said.

Eren let his tears flow down his cheeks and stopped trying to hush his sobs. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Levi burying his face in his chest. He had always felt safe in his lover's arms, no matter what that would never change. He cried in Levi's arms as Levi laid there patiently waiting for Eren to calm down so he could talk him through it.
