~ Levi's POV ~
He's alive. He's really here. Alive.
My emotions swell up into one big puddle, a cherished smile coming from him when I see this.
A whole day. A whole I was given where I was just me and him, the best-est day of my life.
He never answered, when I asked if he trusted me but I didn't care, not one bit. That day was filled with never ending kissed, hand holding and silent laughter from him.
It was now the next days evening. The nurse just leaving when checking over the panicked to be taken away Eren.
"Brat" I say, eyes rolling, him frowning at the name, "nobody's going to take you" he raises a brow, "not while I'm here"
He relaxes though is still unsure. I would be though, he's brave - truly brave.
"Oh Levy~" swear words mentally left my mouth, Eren tensing "Levy~~!"
Eren remember's here voice, of course he does, he hit her. I stand to show I'd protect him yet his eyes and body posture never changes and stares off over at the kicked, harshly, open door.
"For crying out loud Hanji, who do you expect's going to pay for that?!" I groan, my hands moving behind me and resting on top of Eren's, comfortingly. "Now keep it down will you?"
"Oh shh," she shushed me, myself frowning at her "so~ this was that little Eren you were after all along~"
"Yes, now can someone explain why you're here?" I growl, "Erwin told me-"
Yet my words were cut off by Erwin himself, "-that I'd just bring you the files, I know, I know" sighing, eyes closed and shaking his head, Erwin entered the room coming besides Hanji "I asked her for them but she 'made' me explain why I wanted them and well she..."
"I..." Hanji smiled out, "wanted to help, now is that really so bad?" she fake pouted.
"Helping? No. You? Yes"
"Awe Levy~ Don't be like that" Eren's hand wraps itself in mine, myself side glancing over to him to check he's fine. He's shocked, but fine. "so now Erwin explained this mute-drug? Am I right?"
"Yes, it was just a suggestion but if its true," I looked over at Eren, "that your father made drugs?" Eren nods, "that he could've used them on you?" Eren nods again.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you some questions" Eren eyed Hanji wearily. "nothing major just stuff like; how many times where you drugged?" Eren put up a finger, "once?" he shock his head, "once every year?" another shake, "once every month" no "every... week?" no "everyday?"
A dreaded, hesitant, nod.
"I-is that true Eren? D-did he really do that?!" a small, fragile nod came from the frowning Eren, "Oh..."
"Alright, no could you please point out where he did it, unless they were all over?..." Hanji, stepping forwards watched as Eren moved a shaking finger to his throat, "I see, may I?"
Tilting his head back, Hanji looking more serious than ever, came up to Eren's said and sat besides him on the bed. With a gentle touch, the paper and bag she brought with her put onto the floor, she carefully slid her finger down and over his Adam apple.
"Okay..." Moving back, Eren looking right at her, along with me and Erwin, she said "if correct I would've thought he'd used some poisoning drug which entered right into his bloodstream entering his voice box and doing whatever damage it could..."
Stepping forwards, on hand across his chest, the over holding his chin, Erwin questioned, "Can you sort it? I don't know give him medication, surgery, what?"
Eren's eyes widened at the thought of surgery, himself quickly shaking his, "Surgery would've been a good idea but that fact is he'd have a higher chance of never speaking again, in all honestly I'd suggest some given antibiotic's I can prescribe up for you and see how it goes"
Eren relaxing yet again, his hand sweating in mine, I soothingly rubbed my thumb over it, "would that be all?" I asked, "and he'd be able to speak?"
"I can't say so sure," she sadly said "but this medication should help to kill whatever poisons still left within your," she nodded at Eren "body. There's two other thing's that could help is, Levi: you and Eren come and met me every once in a while and I'll be able to give you both one-to-one help on tips in how to help, that is saying Eren will be living with you?"
Eren, looking over at me, let off an adorable smile when I nodded, "Yeah, he's will, he's not going anywhere"
"Great, well I'll give you the second option anyway..." I looked back over at her, "you see a voice therapist - but that's all I can offer"
"That's fine, will see to it closer to the time" I tell them both, Erwin turning to open the door just as the doctor knocked on it, "doctor?"
"Ah, Mr. Ackerman" he cheered out, "I've been given the progress check up from the nurse of his," he motions a hand to Eren "and it seem's he's healing pretty fast for someone who's been shot and have been given a weeks notice until we decide it's best to have him discharged or not"
"Thank you, is there anything else?"
Walking around to Eren's side he pulled off Eren's IV injection, Eren cringing when he did, and un-clipped anymore unneeded tubes within Eren.
Once done he lets of a proud breathe and says, "no. that should be all. I'll leave you be... call me if you need anything else and meal's will be given out in an hour"
"Thank you"
"Have a goodnight," with no more said the doctor left the room.
"I guess that's my call" Erwin speaks out directing his voice to the dark clouds covering the sky, "same, call me if you need. See you some time tomorrow-"
"Wait!" I interrupted, "what about Eren?"
Looking down, his thinking face on, to the floor he spoke, "He's fine for now-" a smile arose on my face "but only until his voice is back, once that happens there will be questioning and depending on what he says... I can't say what will happen. He's under your care Officer Ackerman, if anything is to happen to him it is on your hands"
"Thank you, see you again soon"
A loud, dramatic yawn came from Hanji who 'dramatically' feel backwards into Eren, her hand 'dramatically' on her forehead as if she'd just fainted.
"pfft, you're meant to drag me away, this is one of them scenes when you 'prince charming' picks me up and takes me away" Hanji hissed, looking up with a kiddish pout.
"Tch, idiots - the both of you" both chuckling out laughter, a smiling and a silent laughing Eren, they soon left us be. "are you alright?"
His smile calming down and arms reaching out for me, I joined him, laying on my side, in the bed. Covers wrapped over us both, the back of Eren's hand brushing across me cheek like he was double checking I was real, I lean into his touch closing me eyes.
"I can't believe you're really hear" I tell him, him stopping and resting his warm, soft hand on my cheek, "you don't know how long I've been looking for you..."
A soft smile reaching my lips, mouth slowly partnering to speak more, my lip were stopped when someone else's soft, plump one's pressed themselves onto mine. Th kiss was heavenly, one neither of us wished to stop, our bodies pressed together and his hands around my neck - mine on his waist holding him close, I couldn't help but let off a small, needed moan.
Pulling back for wanted air, I peel open my heavy eyes, his ears staring right back into mine along with a smile meant just for me, "beautiful" I complimented, "just so beautiful indeed"
A tint of pink upon his cheek, a breathless laugh from his lips, he leaned forwards to shut me up, once again, with his addictive lips.
