Chapter 1:

"N-no! Pl-please E-Eren, don't leave me!" said the crying man holding his lover's hand tightly, praying to every God to let his lover survive.

Eren looked at his love, his life, his Captain. He give him a teary smile even as he started coughing blood, which made the Captain cry out and sob harder.

"PLEASE!" The captain cried to him, cursing the titan power that left his love.

They had won! Today was the day of the great battle and they had won. Only, they had missed one titan; a titan who had suddenly attacked the Captain. He would have died if Eren hadn't push him out of the way. Levi was able to kill the titan but his lover was dying right before his eyes.

Eren sniffed but stayed strong, if not for himself then for his only love. "It's OK, C-Captain." Eren said with a smile that made Levi shake his head. "It's my time." Levi choked up and looked at his lover, pleading for him to stay.

"I love you." Levi sniffed and kissed Eren on the lips. Eren smiled at his love and sighed, eyes on the sky.

"I-in th-this life," Eren coughed blood as he talked, making Levi choke up even more. "An-and in the n-next, I will always l-love you w-with all m-my heart." Eren smiled at Levi, taking his last breath as he stared at the sky.

"NO!" Levi screamed at the top of his lungs, wailing and cursing at the Gods who took his lover away from him. He held Eren's corpse to his chest as he cried painful tears of sorrow.

He was gone! His only love had left him in this cruel world… alone.

Eren woke up with a start and gave a little cough. He carefully sat up on the bed and saw he was naked. He furrowed his brow and gently touched his head. Feeling that his black beanie was still there, he sighed softly in relief. He saw a glass of water on the nightstand and sighed in content as he took a sip.

Eren felt small movements coming from his right and froze; he turned to see a short person in bed next to him, sound asleep. Angel! was the only thing Eren could think of. Strangely enough, the man also looked like the one from his dream. Eren smiled at that softly as he caressed the other man's cheek softly. He heard the sound of purring coming from the sleeping man, which made him smile.

Eren swivelled his body and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He stood and hissed as he felt a dizzy; he looked to his thigh and saw a black bruise. Eren winced at the sight and let out a short breath of pain. He stumbled to where his suitcase was and pulled out some clothes and a blue beanie.

Eren looked at the book on the nightstand and sighed even more. He moved to grab the book and opened it on a certain page.

10- Visiting Vegas. Done!

16- Losing my virginity. Done!

Eren glanced at the list then at the man and gave a tired smile, which turned grimace as a small wave of tiredness washed over him. He shook his head and headed to the bathroom to shower.

Today was Armin's bachelor part. He and his fiancé Mikasa would be getting married in a week, so Armin had thought it would be the perfect time to gather all of their friends to celebrate. Eren didn't know why he was invited in the first place, after all, Mikasa hated him and Armin only talked with him once every blue moon. Nevertheless, they had invited his younger sister Isabel, and considering she was only 17 Eren understood he had to go too.

Eren sighed once more at the thought and got out of the shower. When he exited the bathroom, fully clothed, he noticed the other man was awake and looking around the room. Once the man saw Eren he smiled happily and ran to him, hugging Eren tightly and sighing happily.

Eren stiffened then relaxed as he gazed at the man in his arms. The man looked up at Eren lovingly with a stare that made Eren slightly uncomfortable. "I missed you," the man said as he stood on his tiptoes and kissed Eren softly.

Eren broke the kiss with a nervous smile and then cleared his throat softly. "My name is Eren," he said tiredly voice as he headed to the bed to sit on. He looked at the other man, who seemed confused at his actions. "I'm sorry, I don't remember what happened last night," he said which caused the man to frown.

"Eren, it's me! Levi!" Levi said as he looked at Eren with teary eyes.What happened? Why is Eren acting like that?! Levi thought with a sniff.

That made Eren wince and frown. "Well then, Levi, I'm sorry," he murmured. His words only made Levi's eyes fill with more tears, which he wiped away with more sniffles. Before Eren was able to say anything more, the door of the hotel room was knocked on. Eren frowned but stood up to open the door. He saw Levi don a bathrobe from the corner of his eyes.

Eren opened the door to see a brown haired woman with glasses and Armin standing with her. The woman squealed loudly, making Eren wince and back off hastily. "HOW ARE MY BABIES?! DID YOU ENJOY YOUR HONEYMOON?!" the woman shouted with a grin. Eren frowned at her.

"Honeymoon?" Eren asked. He switched his gaze to Armin, he was grinning ear to ear. Eren was getting a bad feeling about this.

"Yes! After all, the two of you did marry yesterday!" Armin laughed. His comment made Eren's blood ran cold and he turned to look at Levi who was staring at him with teary eyes.

Eren glared at the woman and Armin hard, making them take a step back. "Is this a sick joke?." Eren hissed, hoping against hope that it was.

The woman furrowed her brow. "No, it isn't and I have proof!" she huffed, scowling at Eren.

"And you are?" Eren asked. He saw the surprise on her face, then the confusion as she surveyed him, as if he was supposed to know her and that they were best friends.

"H-Hanji," the woman switched her focus to Levi, only to see him barely holding back tears. Armin looked uncomfortable as Eren's gaze fell on him.

"We are telling the truth, I swear!" Armin says as he looked at Eren pleadingly. Eren grunted.

"I'm going out," he announced as he walked to the nightstand to get his wallet. Before he could touch it, a soft hand grabbed his gently. He glanced at Levi's teary eyes and sighed gingerly.

"D-do you r-really not remember?" Levi's voice cracked, on the verge of tears. What is happening? Why was Eren acting like this? Had Eren broken his promise to always love him?

Eren felt sympathy for the young man. In all his 27 years of life, he had never felt like this and knew it was dangerous. "I'm sorry." With that, Eren carefully detached Levi's hand from his, taking his wallet and walking out of the room. He could hear Levi's sobs, a sound that made him wince. It's for the best. was the only thought Eren had.

EXL

Eren stared at the Annulment papers hard. On one hand, he wanted to stay with Levi and that by itself was weird, but on the other, he wanted everything to just stop and leave him alone. By now, Eren's cab had reached the hotel and he gave a soft hum. Life was cruel but beautiful. However, he'd never felt the beautiful part, only the cruelty of this world.

Eren knew that he was dying, he had known since he was 17, ten years ago. But with a sister that hated his guts for unknown reasons and friends that don't call themselves friends because he wasn't their real 'Eren', because he didn't remember their 'life together' or some shit like that, he knew his life had only become harder.

It wasn't his fault that they are obsessed with that writer 'Rouge' who had written the 'Attack on Titan' series they all had started thinking of as their past life! It wasn't even funny anymore, and he knew they wouldn't care about him even if he told them he was dying.

"We are here, sir," the driver announced. Eren gave the driver his fee with a soft "Thank you". Eren sometimes wondered if anyone other than a few of his friends that weren't here would even show up at his funeral. But he couldn't die now, after all, he had his bucket list to complete before his death.

Eren entered the hotel and saw his 'friends' along with some strangers and his 'sister', latched on the arm of a man with dirty blonde hair. Eren scowled at the sight. Was she whoring herself now? They stood there talking to each other. He was sure one of them just shot him a glare, but he had stopped caring about that for a long time.

"BIG BRO!" he heard Isabel scream in joy. He froze. Was she calling him? She hadn't called him that since she was four when she still tolerated him.

Before Eren was able to say a thing, Isabel ran to him and Eren frowned in confusion, only to be knocked down. He fell on the floor hard, and recoiled as his tired body hit the ground. That'll surely leave one hell of a bruise. Eren thought with a wheeze as he tried to stand up. He saw the papers on the floor and groaned as he knelt to collect them.

"EREN!" He heard someone call his name and looked to the side to see Levi with a worried face. "Are you OK?" he asked. Eren raised his brow. Not even his friends and sister cared if he fell on the floor and broke his arm, but the fact that a stranger he had caused to cry worried about him was absurd.

"I've had worse," Eren said as he turned to the scattered papers. He noticed Levi helping him and cringed, he didn't know why but seeing Levi was making his heart beat loudly in his chest. Maybe he should go and see Annie, since she was his doctor and she knew many things. "Thanks," he said as Levi handed him the papers.

"Big bro?" Isabel spoke and Eren glowered at her. "What are you doing with him?!" Isabel questioned with a glare that only made Eren snort.

"That 'him' has a name." Eren's scowl deepened as he glare at her. "And he is your older brother! So at least have some respect!" Isabel just huffed and waved him off. Eren counted to ten in order to calm down so he wouldn't kill the bitch.

Levi saw what happened with a frown. Why was Isabel acting this way to Eren? He turned to the rest of Eren's friends only to see them glaring at him. What was happening? He looked at Hanji to see she had the same confused expression as him.

"Eren, are you OK?" Levi asked again, touching Eren's hand softly. His love had changed over the years, Eren now stood at 6 feet tall, with a blue beanie to hide his brown hair, though he looked paler and skinnier then the last time he saw him. Now at the age of 20, Levi could say that Eren had changed so much that he wouldn't have known it was him if it wasn't for his teal eyes.

"Yes, I was actually looking for you." Eren said softly, holding out his hand. "Here, annulment papers." Levi felt his heart stop at that. Why was Eren doing this to him? Didn't he love him anymore? "You just have to fill in a bit of information and then sign them, I'll handle the rest," Eren said with a tired face only to grimace as he saw Levi tearing up.

"TAKE IT, BIG BRO! You don't want to be stuck with him!" Isabel crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.

Eren growled at her. "Listen, you despicable child! You will respect the adults when they are talking!" Eren shouted with ferocity.

"Or what!?" Isabel sneered, and Eren had to stop himself from bashing her on the head.

"Or I will sign those restraining orders and you'll say bye-bye to Hitch and her bitches that you're so fascinated with," Eren threatened mockingly. Isabel turned bright red.

"You can't do that!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, causing people to turn their heads and frown at the two.

"Just watch me! You are 17 and unless you magically turn 20, you don't have any say." Eren was tired. Really, really tired. How could the only person who was supposed to be his family treat him like that! Didn't he give up everything for himself just so Isabel would be comfortable and have whatever she wanted! Hell, he even dropped out of school to support her!

"Big bro! Say something!" Isabel turned to Levi, who was gaping at the pair with shock. Why was everyone doing this to Eren? Didn't they care about him anymore? Is that why he was hateful? Because of them?

Before he could do anything, Levi was stopped by Eren thrusting the papers into his hands. "Here! This is my number; call me when you sign them." With that, Eren threw his keys near Isabel's feet and turned to go.

"I'm leaving! And congratulations on the wedding!" With that, Eren was storming out of the hotel, leaving Levi and Hanji staring after his retreating form in concern.

"Eren...?" Levi ran to the door to stop Eren only to see that he was already gone.

EXL.

Eren was sitting in the taxi and watching the buildings pass by as he headed to the airport. He reached for his phone and searched for the name he wanted to call. He sighed and pressed 'call', listening to the rings as he waited for it to be answered.

Click. "Hello?"

Eren sigh in relief at the familiar voice. "Annie," he breathed tiredly.

"Eren! Are you ok?"

Eren could hear Annie's worry in her voice and smiled. Annie was one of the only true friends he had. He had met the 34-year-old woman when he fell sick ten years ago, and she had become his only friend at the time - before even Carla and Kuchel.

Kuchel owned the publishing company he worked at and Carla was her wife who owned Shiganshina restaurant, the most famous restaurant in all of Maria! The two of them had taken a liking to him and become his family. He was extremely grateful to those three. If it hadn't been for them, Eren knew he would have killed himself a long time ago.

"I'm fine. I'm only coming home, so you don't have to cancel the appointment we have tomorrow at noon." He followed up with an involuntary cough, grimacing as he saw blood on his hand.

"You're not fine, Eren! That cough just proves it! I'll call Carla and Kuchel, so meet us at their house, OK?" Annie fret in her worried tone. Eren was sure she was biting her lip, a habit she couldn't seem to get rid of.

"But-"

"No buts! I know something's happened, dear." Annie's voice turned soft. He knew he had concerned her too much if she used the word 'dear' on him.

"OK," he answered as he looked at the sky from his window.

"Good. Stay safe and come to Kuchel and Carla's house. Everything will be OK."

Eren smiled softly. "OK, bye," he murmured softly.

"Bye, dear."

With that, Eren hung up and sighed for the twelfth time that day. He peered up at the sky with a sad smile.

"If only..."

So what do you think?

WHY?!

Why do I turn to write angst things?

Oh, well, not my problem.

Read and Review.

Let me know what you think. I am always open for suggestions.
