Udup picked up his tray and gave Luna a small lecture of jumping on unexpected males. He told her this place is different when it came to physical boundaries. Luna didn’t want to hear that considering she kept telling him that Kenta is indeed her husband to be he consented to it even if he doesn’t remember it. Udup who didn’t want to pick a fight went around her defense to a more reasonable tone in their language. After a while Luna agreed to whatever Udup had said and focused back on Kenta. The young man gave a little sigh until Alexis took his hand and lead him into the break room he took a seat on the sofa. For a while now she was gathering her thoughts and he didn’t want to interrupt her. To pass the time he looked at her hand that was still in his her fingers squeezing ever so slightly. Udup raised his eyes to hers it felt like she was rambling no-stop about a twin brother. He said nothing and waited until she was absolutely finished. He let five seconds passed before he spoke up he’d of kept silent if it weren’t for those looks in her eye. Truthfully he disliked Alexander so he’ll probably dislike her twin brother who doesn’t have a name. “I’m not mad. I rarely talk about my family so it’s no surprise I don’t know so much about your family circumstance.” He brought up her hand that was holding on to his tightly and placed a chaste kiss to the back of her hands. “It’s fine you’ll tell me when you are ready to talk to me. There’s no need to rush it or feel like you’re being pressured into it. There’s something I want to tell you too but, I feel like seeing it is more believable than me saying something that’s true when it could feel false to someone else.” Udup said softly, he caresses the side of her head smoothing out some stray hair that looked lightly tangle. Udup could admit that he may have fallen in love with Alexis. Knowing a person is your mate is completely different when falling in love after knowing who an what their mate is. And he does love her more than what he could say. He loved Iris as if that child were his own. Udup refocus on what was on hand though he can’t let his emotions get him side tracked. “I am glad you told me but, why is he coming over to something that involves the shop? Is it because of Iris? She wasn’t hurt but, it was a close call…”

Ria looked at herself in the mirror she thought of the clothes as lovely but, felt far to light from the clothes she usually wore. She let Alexis fuss over her down to her accessories and shoes. She didn’t mind that her hair was down she likes to feel her long hair down her back it was wonderful to be free. It was just that the people here in South Korea tends to step on it. The often or not tell her it was her fault from letting it dragged so low.. It was completely different from the people of her home land they were the one to give her a large birth for her to walk her path.

She felt a little embarrassed to be seen by Alexander and it got even worse when he carried her around but, she enjoyed the attention nevertheless. It was so rare for anyone to pick her up as if she were a little girl. It made her quite happy since she doubt any male would pick her up as she is now as an empress to her people. Not unless she married to the right male and if it were her true long life term ate who were that affectionate. Alexander is that person and she prayed night and day that they were a good match to be a lifelong mate to each other.  Ria blushed heavily when she thought about Alexander as her husband at times such as these. Even her ears were pink as she put her forehead on the top of his head. He would let her and that was the greatest part about him so whenever she needed to lean on someone he was there. If she wanted to cry he held on to her tightly murruring sweet soothing words. If she were happy so was he if she were hurt he’d get mad on her account. He has never taken his frustration out on her. If Ria was not mistaken he was the type of person to take out his frustration out on a person who deserved it.  

“I’m fine, Alexander thank you for catching me.” She replied in a tone just for him she looked at the customer who apologized. Even she had a hard time remembering why she was in his arms and not on the ground with her two feet.

“It’s fine as long as you keep any loose items beside you so that no one else can trips over your belongings.” The woman smiled up to her and nodded her head while scooting her things under the chair she was using. She let Alexander carried her off to a more private part of the shop. She rested her chin on his head while he find a spot for them to talk in private.

She lifted her head up to look at him, “It was no problem I’m use to taking damage. Compare to that it was more of a irritation than a pain...I’m more angry at myself for letting my guard down. I’m so mad at myself because I knew this was a probability. If they could break the shop windows while I am gone and write some mean things. I don’t know much about a land shark or shady dealing....but, I should have anticipated that. I’m just so sorry Iris had to go through something so terrifying...”

She replied with a sadden smile she was telling him the truth she endured far more pain than a few glass embedded in her. Compare to a pillar that weigh more than a ton that bat was child play for her. Earth was on her side and glass are made by sand so it wouldn’t have killed her she would just absorbed it. It was part of her generic coding anyway.  “It’s alright, please don’t be too hard on them than you already have. I’m fine truly and Iris is okay which I am glad for, her safety should be our number one priority.”

Alexander touched her cheek, “You are my number one priority, Ria so is Iris but, you Ria. I can’t stomach the thought of you being hurt in anyway. Let this be the last time you ever get hurt.”

Ria gave him a genuine smile he truly does care for her alot as if they were a true family, “Ahaha, Okay. And, I’m fine with the security measure I’m not good with technology so I’m sure I’ll be hopeless with that. If it’s manual labor I can do it and If there’s anything I can do to help please let me know I want to help too.”

She had a hard time tell him no but, she had no problem with his work. It was just about everything else she can’t tell him no

“If there’s anything else to make you comfortable than please let me know.”

They talked more and more until Zander called for her again Alexander carried her into the kitchen not once did Udup notice he was doing this. She giggled a little loudly.

As Zander pounced her again about an upgrade she caved in, “Okay, however let me help if I can. Somethings we can hand craft it ourselves. I’m not good with appliance but, I’m good with furnitures and arts. Udup can handle other things he’s more well verse in other fields than I am.”

She smiled cheerfully, “I want to help you too so please rely on me as well okay?”

She wrapped her arms around Alexander so she wouldn’t fall not like she was worried about him dropping her. If he can carry her weight as long as he had now than she should be fine. Any fatigue he might feel over time of him carrying her she’ll insist on getting down herself until than she’ll enjoy it as much as she can.

She enjoyed talking to the two males and surprisingly she’s comfortable to look in Zander eyes while they talked. It was as if he was like a big brother despite her being older than him. She laughed as Zander puts carrots on his head bouncing around like a little rabbit. It was than that Krissy came into the shop and waved at Zander at the serving window when he finally turned around to face her. He had another two carrots in his nose and making them twitch side to side as if they were teeth. That made the beauty laughed out loud calling her husband stupid in a fond way.

“Zander, stop playing with food and come here.”

The young woman said with a grin the two shared a sweet kiss before she asked for his opinion on a few matters. Alexander took the opportunity to carry her off somewhere again she enjoyed the alone time where she could get it.

Luna tilted her head ever so slightly toward Seo Rin in her opinion there was nothing wrong with the woman hair.

”If that’s all there is I could help with that.”

She replied, she returned her bright blue eyes toward Kenta who has yet to say a word to her. She even took his cheeks between her hands as if she was going to breathe some life back  into her husband body.

It wasn’t necessary, unfortunately as Seo Rin snapper her fingers and rang her bells. She felt a bit cheated that another woman was doing her job as the legal wife. Luna took in a breath and released it ever so slowly.

Must. Not. Make. A. Scene...

Must not...

She clasped Kenta shoulder and Luna couldn’t help but, think in her mind that she’s a bitch... Luna actually looked surprised by such a unfamiliar dark emotion..

“Ahhh I see, so this is how jealousy feels like. And bloodlust...Interesting.”

Neither feelings were pleasant but, at least she understood where Armin is coming from with his life term partner Erwin.

Returning her attention back to Kenta she couldn’t say It didn’t phase her that he would not have remembered her. Sometimes when he slept he could remember he could remember her in his dreams but, there are times where he forgets everything about her again. Sometimes they even had the same conversation again and again but, it was never boring. However it tends to strain her relationship with a man who is so far away from her physically as well as emotionally.

“We have meet. You and I, you simply do not remember, my husband.”

She didn’t use the term before since he clearly does not remember what it stands for.

As Zander explained things for her she simply waited. Taking Kenta hands in hers she went for that table. She simply adore his blushes it’s cute. And very endearing as she took a seat with him.

“You are Murasaki, Kenta. You’re thirty this year. You are a police officer. You’ve told me your past. You’ve talked to me about your worries. Multiple times in fact. I’ve come to meet you. You wanted to touch me to see if I were real and not just some fantasy you conjure up. I’m glad we can get to talk to each other like this and in this reality. Perhaps this time you would not forget about me so easily.”

Luna smiled up to him her crescent moon reflect the sunlight it was quite nice to be under the sun. Where she hailed from it was always night it’s different when she is under the sun.

“I am Luna, I am from the world of Mau. Where the moon is always changing. You could say I am empress of the moon kingdom and all of the moon resident.”

She looked into his eyes lovingly, “I don’t know my age so I can’t tell you for certain how old I am. I will be in your care, so please take good care of me.” She said with an open smile.

Iris and Alexis were bonded so Alexis could always feel when Iris was injured so she wasn’t worried about her being hurt physically because she knew she wasn’t but her baby was terrified by what had happened to Ria. Iris adored Ria so anything bad happening to her was traumatizing to the little girl. That and Ria’s injuries where what had beating those boys asses before tossing them off on Lucy.

Alexis helped get the flower shop cleaned up quickly before helping Ria upstairs, to unbraid her hair, and to get undressed so that she could shower. While Ria was in the shower Alexis left Luna to keep an eye on her in case something happened and she needed help. She left Iris to look after Udup, or at least that was what Iris thought, and went to go find something for Ria to change into.

Looking through the small closet full of clothes that Alexis had upstairs above the tea shop she finally found a dress that she though suited Ria best. It was a little fancy to be working in but since they were going to start dressing up for work why not get her use to wearing something fancy while working. It was a beautiful red halter dress with gold accents and a golden sun on the bodice.

The skirt was short in the front and long in the back with a gathered layered look almost like a flower and trimmed in gold. Since red and gold suited Ria best Alexis deemed the dress perfect. It would also make her legs look longer which was always a plus for a girl. There was even an accessory for the hair that went with it and she even found a pair of red pumps with two inch heels and gold accents as well.

What finished the look off though were the gold braces that Alexis had to go along with the outfit. Once the outfit was prepared Alexis returned to help Ria after she got out of the shower. She had already prepared the first aid kit so she had Ria get on the bed that Alexis had prepared in advance with fresh clean sheets and to lay down without worsening the position of the glass fragments.

Alexis is well versed in first aid having to always patch up her brothers and herself from time to time. Just because one was immortal didn’t mean one couldn’t break. They healed faster than humans but the worse the damage the longer the healing took unless they died and then it was like an instant regeneration.

Concentrating completely on her task Alexis didn’t even realize her gaze had turned crimson as she channeled her magic into her eyes to seek out every sliver of glass within Ria because she knew if even a single shard were to make it’s way into her bloodstream it could make it to her heart and kill her instantly. That was just never going to happen. Not on her watch.

Once all the glass was out she cleaned up all the cuts before gently closing them all and healing them up so she wouldn’t need bandages. She had gotten caught healing up one of Iris’s cuts so healing was one of the few abilities that she shared openly with Ria and Udup. She and Alexander still hadn’t told them that they were immortals. She knew about Udup being able to read thoughts she she and Alexander were careful with their thought paths.

As immortals, or at least as their grandfather’s grandchildren, the Von Drehle siblings had learned to control their thoughts, shield their minds, and create multiple thought paths to confuse others who could hear their thoughts the moment they could walk and talk. That was when all their lessons had started actually.

After Ria was all patched up Alexis helped her get dressed in the dress she had brought for her. Ria finally let her leave her hair down. She thought Ria looked prettiest with her hair all the way down. She knew Alexander would love it and she had vowed that she was going to get Ria to wear her hair down at least once, she was so glad it was today. Especially since Alexander would be back.

With the trouble that had just happened Alexis knew it would herald the arrival of someone she hadn’t seen since she had brought Iris home. Someone who had disappeared again after the trouble had passed and grandfather had agreed to let her adopt Iris as her own. Someone she had been born with and who shared a similar appearance to her. Someone she still hadn’t told Udup about.

She had wanted them to meet under better circumstances but since things were as they were she was going to have to tell him sooner. She just wasn’t sure how to explain to Udup that she had a twin he had never met before. It was sad remembering how their father had abandoned her twin and disowned him making him the black sheep of the family.

Alexis and Alexander had hated their father ever since. The only person they respected and listened to was their grandfather because he was the only other person in the family who hadn’t turned his back on her twin and because he had flat out told their father that Fredric might have disowned Adrian but Victor had not. Nor was he ever going to.

Udup and Adrian were so different but so alike at the same time. While Udup is calm and quiet, Adrian is hotheaded and loud. They both loved their family and would protect their loved ones no matter what. Alexis thought the two of them would make excellent friends. That was why she wanted Alexander to mend the riff in their family by officially returning Adrian as the second son of the Von Drehle family.

She wanted her family whole again though even if she couldn’t have that she wasn’t ashamed of her twin in the least. In fact it was quite the opposite. She was extremely proud of him for following his own path even if being a perfect gentleman wasn’t his strong suit. She would speak out to anyone who bad mouthed her twin and thought they could get away with it.

Going to Udup she was a bit surprised when he suddenly dropped his serving tray, luckily it was empty. When he said Luna’s name she turned to see where he was looking and nearly dropped the tray herself after picking it back up. She was surprised to see Luna kissing Kenta right in the middle of the tea shop. However she recovered quickly and chuckled softly.

She was glad he had missed Alexander sweeping Ria off of her feet and into his arms when she tripped on a customers bag that had gotten kicked into the walkway. The customer apologized and moved the bag out of the walkway though their apology was swept away under Alexander’s charm since it afforded him the opportunity to carry Ria around like a bride.

“Are you alright?” He asked with concern as his blue gaze met hers.

Smiling softly at her concern for his clothes he shook his head. The wetness of her hair didn’t bother him in the slightest. In fact he was stunned by how beautiful she looked that it had taken his breath away from a moment. Now he got to hold her in his arms.

“Don’t be silly, I don’t mind this at all. You look radiant. I’m glad Alexis dressed you up but you shouldn’t spoil her too much. Although I suppose I benefit from you spoiling her this way since I get to see you looking even more beautiful than usual.” Alexander said with a chuckle.

He really was torn between enjoying Ria looking gorgeous and worrying about what Alexis will eventually coax her into doing. Who knows how his sister could corrupt Ria the more she gets spoiled. It was enough to cause him concern. However, Ria did look stunning. Especially with her hair down.

“Well I’m glad that she’s not trying to trick you into agreeing. I have no problem staying here. In fact I think this is more efficient anyways. I will be working a few blocks away so it’s closer than our place anyways.” He said cheerfully when Ria assured him that she was aware of him staying and that Alexis wasn’t trying to trick her into agreeing.

Iris had wandered off to go play with the flowers again and look for any more new flowers that Unnie Ria might have missed. The flowers whispered warnings to her if they were poisonous because as a garden fairy Iris was nourishment for flowers to be around and if she was ill it could cause the plants around her to become sick as well.

Alexis slipped her hand into Udup’s and led him into the back and back to the break room since she didn’t want to tell him about Adrian in front of the whole tea shop. Alexander had stepped into one of the alcoves tucked into the wall so that he and Ria could quietly talk. It took a lot of will power on his part not to show her the rage that was boiling his blood at hearing that she was injured.

“I thank you for protecting Iris. I just wish you hadn’t needed to since you were hurt by doing so.” He murmured because he could feel the echos of pain emanating from the places she had been injured. It was one of his abilities and seemed to work the strongest when it came to Ria.

“No they weren’t hurt but now I’m rather regretting that. Those boys are old enough to know better than to harm a woman especially with a child in her arms. I will definitely be having another chat with them when I return because I am going to make sure that they never pull such a stunt again for the rest of their lives. There is absolutely no excuse for such behavior.” He said looking clearly annoyed. Alexander was well versed at controlling his expression.

He could show his annoyance but he would never show her his rage. Especially since he could never direct his rage at her since she was what he wanted to protect most in this world. Her pain was the source of his rage so she could never become the focus of it.

“Also, I would never allow you to sleep on the couch. If there had been only one room you would have taken the bed but since there are two rooms we don’t need to worry about that.” Alexander said with a warm smile.

“Since I’ll be staying with you, I will upgrade you’re security system and install security cameras both visible and hidden that way all areas will be covered. It will be necessary since I’ll have to bring some of my work here with me. I hope you don’t mind. Since the advanced security system will be necessary for my work I’ll pay for it so you needn’t worry about the cost. Besides my grandfather’s company makes most of what I’ll be using so it won’t cost much at all.” He said smiling at her and resisting the urge to rub his face against hers.

“I swore to help you with whatever you needed and I am a man of my word. Of course I will help out. I get to spend all of my free time here with you. Why on earth would I ever pass that up? I will even make us breakfast and dinner everyday. We can let Zander feed us for lunch... As for the flowers I’ll look into it but you needn’t worry about Iris. Plants will never harm her. Besides she doesn’t eat plants unless they are fruits and vegetables. They freely offer their best blooms to her for her pleasure. That’s how she always ends up with her flower crowns.” Alexander said gently completely content with holding her in his arms.

Alexis pulled Udup down to sit on the couch in the break room with her. She was a bit nervous about telling him about her twin. She didn’t want him to think she had been keeping things from him which she really hadn’t. Adrian had just never been around so he had never come up. Iris barely knew him though he would always drop a present off for her on her birthday every year.

“Um... There is something I need to tell you that hasn’t come up before....... I have a twin brother and you’re going to meet him soon thanks to the trouble these land sharks are causing and I really wanted the two of you to meet under better circumstances and when he is reinstated into the family but since he only shows up when trouble finds me it’s been a little difficult trying to get the two of you to meet and I hope you don’t think I was trying to hide him from you or anything it’s just he hasn’t been home since I adopted Iris and you’ve never been to the mansion so you’ve never seen our pictures and its never come up are you mad?” She let out all in one breath after the pause and was super nervous as she waited for his answer.

She really hoped he wasn’t mad at her but she would understand if he was but she still hoped that he wasn’t. Her eyes never left his face as she watched him with nervous uncertainty. She really hoped the fact that his hand was still in hers was a good sign though she didn’t realize that she had been squeezing it slightly the entire time she’s been holding it.

After hearing Zander call out to him Alex carried Ria all the way to the kitchen despite her protests about being able to walk. He was completely enjoying carrying her around as if she were his new bride. In fact he planned on proposing to her once her garden portrait was finished. He planned on proposing to her as he shows it to her from the balcony.

“I know you can walk but please indulge me. I do so enjoy carrying you around like this as it is such a rare occasion that I get the chance.” He offered her with a sweet smile.

Once she was settled quite cutely blushing in his arms he got her safely to the kitchen where Zander was busily completing multiple dishes at once. Alexander easily continued holding Ria as if it were the most natural thing in the world to do. For him though carrying Ria was as natural to him as breathing and he quite enjoyed it.

Alex could see the mischief brewing in Zander’s eyes when he asked Ria if he could upgrade the kitchen however he wanted. He had a feeling Zander wanted to make upgrades all over the place and would no doubt drag Zoe into helping out. Which was good because that was along the lines of what he wanted to do anyways.

With the three of them working together they could have the entire place fixed up over the weekend. They would probably have to close the shops for a couple of days but the end result would be worth it in the end. They’d also have a better system in place with defense capabilities too. He wasn’t going to let something like this happen ever again.

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

Zander was taking down Alexander’s order from Kenta as it was given, not that he couldn’t remember everything on that order. It wasn’t the first time he would  be handling a large order because he made their orders on a regular. He put a note on to make Eren and Zoe’s coffee extra strength since they had been drinking all night. He also knew they’d need some of his hangover soup.

Kenta was right in the middle of catching Zander up with what was going on with the new division being form and most of their friends being the ones picked for the division along with a few other experts. That was until Ria and Udup’s cousin went straight up to Kenta and kissed him without so much as a hello first. In Zander’s opinion Kenta was an innocent, at least when it came to the opposite sex.

When the young woman pulled away from the kiss Kenta was frozen solid and unblinking. After a couple of minutes of him just standing there in shock Zander got a little worried. So worried that he came out of the kitchen to the counter where they were standing

“Kenta?” He said uncertainly and waved his hand in front of his face as he leaned over the counter.

The woman Luna had spoken to laughed good naturedly as she got out of her seat and walked over.

“Yes, you do sweetie. Your hair is huge. Simply gorgeous. Frankly I wish I had curls like that. My is super thick and wavy but never curls the way I want it too. Ahhh.... I wish I could have your hair.... Oh well.... Seem like you shocked him quite a lot there...” Seo Rin said chuckling and walking around Kenta and Luna before stopping directly behind Kenta.

Seo Rin was also a licensed hypnotherapist so it wasn’t a great task to return people to reality when they are frozen in a state such as he was in. She snapped her fingers next to his ear and gave her wrist a sharp twist causing the bells on her wrist to chime. The sounds combined brought Kenta back to his senses as he began to blink and focus in on his surroundings and the girl before him.

Seo Rin returned to her seat to continue to watch how this whole thing played out. A deep blush turned Kenta’s face scarlet as his eyes fully focused on the beautiful female that had just kissed him. For some reason he felt as if he knew her but seeing as he would definitely remember meeting her before he was fairly certain they hadn’t met before.

“Um..... I’m sorry but I think you may have mistaken me for someone else...” Kenta said finally after a long moment of embarrassed silence.

Zander was doubled over and trembling with restrained laughter. Never had he ever seen someone approach Kenta with so much enthusiasm. So much enthusiasm that he simply froze in place without even blinking. Zander had seen Kenta take down gangsters and murderers without missing a beat but the moment a cute girl kisses out of the blue he becomes a statue.

“Ken, she’s related to Ria and Udup. She’s ‘special’.” He said clapping him on the shoulder and emphasizing the last word meeting Kenta’s gaze and flashing his fox eyes at him where only Kenta could see them so that he understood.

When one has a fox’s nose, one could smell the magic on her, so he was certain that she was special like so many of their friends. He wasn’t the least bit surprised that she and Kenta were somehow connected. Fate worked in wonderful ways such as bringing people together through simple strange connections not everyone can understand.

Hell he knew there were people who could literally see the red string of fate that bound two people together. Foxes were magical creatures to begin with and were born with their own magical power so it was really easy for them to sense other magic users or people possessed of magical abilities. They were also tricksters and people with magical abilities they usually steered clear of because they didn’t usually have a sense of humor.

Zander was pretty sure their trickster nature was the reason his twin was always trying to cause trouble and generally spikes Eren’s drinks with catnip every time they’re drinking and Levi is there. He knew she has been trying to get those two to be a couple for a few years now. Eren still didn’t seem to have the courage to pounce on him when he’s sober so she always tries to help him out. He’s pretty sure she’s only been hindering his progress though.

Kenta looked from Zander’s eyes that were now back to normal to the girl then back and forth for a few moments before finally resting on her. He had absolutely no clue what the hell to do. How did one talk to someone who had just kissed them and who was a total stranger yet acts as though they have known each other forever? He was obviously confused by what was going on here.

“Oh, um.... I see.... Um.... Nice to meet you?” Kenta said awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck as he looked down to the beautiful eyes staring at him.

“Hey Luna why don’t you take him over to that empty table way over there in the corner and the two of you can sit down and talk. You can tell him all about yourself and you can ask him all about himself.” Zander said with a grin as he pointed over at a secluded corner where the two could sit and talk privately.

Grinning he ushered the two over to the table he mentioned before heading back to the kitchen to work on Alexander’s order. He even made a few to go meals for some of the others in the office since he knew Alexander wouldn’t go back to work without getting something for everyone since that was just the way he was. Zander had known Alexander for ages so he knew his personality well.

While he wasn’t busy with orders Zander took the time to go over Alexis’s notes on the upcoming theme. He had a few ideas but he wanted to get them in order before making anything definite. He also wanted to try out a few things after hours in the kitchen. It would be best to practice in this kitchen since it would be where he would have to implement the ideas if they were good.

He of course needed to be able to handle everything in this kitchen. In fact he wanted to upgrade the kitchen entirely but he would have to talk to Ria about that. He knew she couldn’t afford it but he didn’t mind taking care of it himself. Hell working with Levi and Zoe he had amassed a fortune that he didn’t spend on much. Sure he spoiled his wife rotten but they still had more money than they actually needed ten times over.

“Hey Val-! Bring Ria in here for a little bit!” He had almost slipped up and called him by his hacker name but since he was a prosecutor he figured that wouldn’t be a good idea.

Zander didn’t stop working even when Alexander finally brought Ria into the kitchen still carrying her around like a princess despite Ria’s apparent growing embarrassment. He thought it was cute because he could tell she was super happy about him carrying her even if it was really embarrassing. Alexander wore his crown well and was the most chivalrous person he knew.

Since his grandfather had Alexander raised to be a gentleman despite his parents lack of parenting whatsoever he turned out extremely well. It was one of the reasons Victor made Alexander take up the crown when he retired instead of taking the crown back from his worthless son. Those were Victor’s words after all, he had grown tired of Heavenly life so he retired forcing his worthless son and his gold-digging daughter-in-law to take his place in the heavens to deal with the endless bureaucratic bullshit that was being a god.

Zander and Zoe were often Victor’s sounding boards because they were both licensed psychiatrists and therapists with PhD's in a wide range of fields including and not limited to psychological pursuits. It was all Zoe’s fault that he took those subjects anyways. He did enjoy getting his PhD in Food Science & Nutrition. He loved making health food that tasted good too.

“Alright! Ria I want to upgrade the kitchen! If you let me upgrade it how ever I want I’ll pay for the entire thing and you won’t have to pay a penny for it. So what do you say? Can I do it?” He asked with a grin as he moved from each different task.

At least seven different dishes were being worked on at once and he made it look easy even though he was the only person working the kitchen. He wanted to fully upgrade the kitchen to Reverie standards and he knew he could get Zoe’s help to retrofit the entire kitchen with the latest high tech equipment. They could even outfit the entire tea shop with a hologenerator to change the appearance of the rooms entirely. They had even made one for Armin.

Zander, Zoe, and Alexander could completely retrofit the tea shop and the flower shop with tech that not only allows them to control everything in both shops but monitor them and change their appearances inside to whatever Ria or Alexis chose since they would probably be the ones picking the themes. Alexis would definitely be playing with it now that she gets to do themes in the tea shop.

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

(Huh, and yet here you are rejecting me again, Levi....)

Instead of getting mad he just dropped it he had better things to do with his time than to get angry at a man who is as dense as Levi. Eren can only assume people gives Levi too much credits in the smart department. Levi isn’t the brightest nor the sharpest tools in the box when it comes to his love life.

Eren let Levi tip the water into his mouth he swallowed the content obediently because once Levi goes into a club with him all kiddy gloves were off. He’s going to do more than kissing when he was done with Levi.

He never truly jumped him before since all the time he let catnip control his action Levi still wouldn’t take the plunge in taking what he had to offer. If anyone other Jaeger that’s not Armin. He’d of long since be shamed. Eren would be labeled as a uselessly worthless mate and there was no way of getting out of that title. Especially since he’s the king of all of the damn Jaegers he did his best not to pursue the man in public.  

Eren drained his glass of water and gave it back to him his smile was coy after making that small comment of him looking good in leather. At least he knows he’s going to wear black leather he hoped its skin tight at least... Levi had hips like no other and it’s always a turn on. He’s not gonna hide a boner if he’s going to grind on Levi.

Eren thought about the wedding ring his own two hands were creating a beautiful ring for his ring finger only. He wanted to be alone with him this year so he could pop the biggest question he had been holding in since he had been a young teen. The thought of marriage and Levi telling him yes after all this time brought a spacy look upon his face. 

He must’ve been purring too since Levi was snapping his fingers in his face again so instead of licking those fingers to get under his skin.

“On a personal note that’s not business at all Armin will be the one to make his move on Erwin. So don’t be a dick and chew them out okay Levi? You’re not socially gifted but, I understand you perfectly they won’t. So I want you to not interfere in this one. You’re too much of a sandpaper when you should be a cute cuddly kitten.”

“Tch. Don’t be a brat. If they don’t know me well enough by now then they shouldn’t be friends with me.” He said flicking him on the forehead.

“Ooow, you’re always calling me a brat and they do know you and why wouldn’t they not want to be your friennnnd.”

Eren fell over on his couch holding his forehead.

“And....I might add some color to your office....it’s dull as fuck...Where’s our picture when we go to the disneyland? Or Hawaii? or that pictureHanji had a picture of me on the strip pole dancing while you were trying to get me off it.

That made Levi stumbled the glass hit hard in the sink, “That’s right she even had a video that plays whenever you get on your laptop~”

Eren ears and tail popped out the brunet was being coy with Levi as he mention a few other things to get that cheek red. Eren may be a mind reader but, he never need to get in Levi’s head to know why he’s so bashful around him or why his cheeks are so red that goes to his ears.

It’s those reaction that gave him home that Levi might have a thing for him and he might not tell him no when he proposes. No one else could get him to blush as he is now. It was always himself that could and he made a bet with himself to ask him on his birthday.

“Hey, Levi. This year for Christmas I want to be alone with you. There’s a question I want to ask you. So, could you keep Christmas eve and Christmas day free for me?”

Eren wasn’t coy with the invitation he was being serious as he walked to him and grabbed his hand so he could face him.

“Great! I’ll put in my hours let’s take the whole week off and new years,”

Eren tail was a happy one as his ears was very twitchy as he rubbed his cheek all up on him..

“I’m so happy! I’ve got your presents coming to my place. We can decorate the tree together.”

He used his whole weight to knock him down he straddled him easily and kept rubbing his cheeks to Levi.

“We can drink eggnog together and watch movies. I know this really really great place to watch a really special christmas tree but, it’s a bit snowy so we’ll have to get you a taller snow boots and longer coat. I don’t mind carrying you under a 5XL coat i’m wearing up the snowy path but, it’ll defeat the purpose for you to see something amazing.”

He purred. He had everything all planned out he was going to propose him there and go home together.

If the answer is no he’ll spend that day with him regardless but, once midnight strikes he’d have Levi in bed sleeping while he myself was going to die or at least fake his death. He can’t live another year with the way things are if he couldn’t be Levi’s lover than that was it. He didn’t tell anyone not even Armin and especially not Levi.

He was happy every day smiling and enjoying life he kept that way as he count down his days. Once christmas was officially over at midnight he’d know his discussion. 

Having said that he won’t die near Levi he’ll leave a will and everything and a personal private letter for his eyes only. He had his will done last week in fact but, again no one knows about it. Only his lawyer knew about his will and who to give it too.

“Levi, I love you.”

he giggled,

They went to lunch as usual he kept Levi busy as usual. Since Levi wouldn’t touch the food he ate he took a piece of food from his and feed it to him by hand.

“Haha, cute.”

When lunch was over he helped packed up the dishes when he spotted Armin exposed as a Jaeger he took Levi jacket and out it over his head.

Of course Erwin would have shielded Armin but, it was a just in case scenario people do walk in here after all.

He took the jacket away when Armin was composed and return it to Levi’s shoulder. The jacket never fallen off when they headed back to their work station he was going to call up for a few favor.

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

Twenty-five years, Levi has known Eren for twenty-five years. Ever since the day he was born he has always had the same reaction to catnip. He would always start taking his damn clothes off. It was the reason he had decided to drag Eren up to his office. In fact he wasn’t the least bit surprised when Eren grabbed his tie and pulled him closer.

With gentle but, firm hands, Levi pushed Eren back into his seat on the couch and removed his hands from his tie. Looking down away from Eren with a slight scowl creasing his face he straightened his tie once again and put himself back in order. Even though he was looking away he was well aware of everything Eren did as he sat in front of him.

His gaze rose up to meet Eren’s again as he started sulking and speaking at the same time. He always said such things when he was a mixture of drunk and high off of the catnip in his system. When Eren told him to watch him Levi couldn’t help the words that slipped out though they were quiet enough that Eren’s addled brain wouldn’t have registered what they were.

“I always have been....” He said as he looked away from Eren.

Standing he got up and went over to a small refrigerator and checked it. Inside were bottles of water so he grabbed on and a cup out of the cupboard behind his desk. Whoever had designed this room had designed it to suit him so they had learned a lot about him and his preferences. He wondered if that person was their boss. If so he was glad they wouldn’t have any unrealistic expectations about how he works.

“So what was that again about me dressing up as a woman?” He asked again since Eren seemed to be more lucid then before.

Eren took a long moment to answer him as he was getting the water and the cup. Standing before Eren he poured the water into the glass and then held it out to Eren. Levi listened silently as Eren began explaining what it all was about. If the two cases were related then it was his duty to help Eren out on this case. He would have helped even if the cases weren’t involved because they didn’t need a blood bath if any small thing goes wrong.

“I see.... Of course I’ll help.” He said as he encouraged Eren to drink more of the water by using the tips of his fingers to raise the glass of water now in Eren’s hands to Eren’s lips.

Levi was grateful that he wasn’t the one drinking when Eren uttered his next comment because he would have choked on it. Frankly he was wondering why the hell Eren was imagining him in leather. He did look fantastic in leather and heels though. Perhaps he’d ride his bike instead of his car since it was more maneuverable.

“Tch. Don’t be a brat. If they don’t know me well enough by now then they shouldn’t be friends with me.” He said flicking him in the forehead.

He had known Erwin since he was born and he had known Armin since before Eren was born. If the two of them didn’t understand his personality by know he really didn’t know why they were friends. It wasn’t as if he had ever lied to either of them not only because it meant physical pain for him if he did.

Once he had sobered up some had just brought him back into the bullpen when Armin arrived with lunch. He too was called on and was about to refuse until Armin said that it was food that Eren had cooked. He didn’t know how but he could always tell the dishes that Eren cooked no matter what they were. It was the only food he could stomach.

Out of a thousand dishes cooked exactly alike with exactly the same flavor Levi could still always tell Eren’s dish aside from all the others. Taking Eren’s arm he led him into the conference room and got to work picking out the basket that had Eren’s food in it he also figured out which of the baskets was for Eren and set his food out for him before digging into his own food.

Levi was in such a good mood for some reason that he didn’t even get as mad at Armin as he usually would for smacking him. It also helped that Erwin had put a hand on his shoulder before he passed him. Mollified he turned his attention back to his food that had been prepared by Eren’s own hands. He had taught Eren how to cook himself and Eren had gotten so good that he had gotten spoiled on it ever since.

Once lunch was almost over he helped to clean up while Armin and Erwin talked quietly between themselves. He could tell that Erwin had been blocking everything in the room including the cameras so no one could observe them while they were having a private lunch.

However, he was a bit surprised when Eren suddenly grabbed his coat and threw it over Armin because his ears and tails had popped out. He chuckled and took his coat back from Armin as he was hiding them away again. Levi ruffled Eren’s hair affectionately.

“Erwin’s been controlling the room. He would never have let anyone see Armin like that.” He said with a soft chuckle before leaving the room to get back to work. He would after all have to look into this club before meeting Eren there undercover.

He would also have work out a few back up plans just in case anything went wrong during the op. These kinds of cases were his specialty and were generally the easiest to close after finishing an op. He’d also have to find the right outfit and shoes since Eren wants to see him in leather he’ll come from head to toe in black leather.

Armin noticed the sadness in Erwin’s eyes before he register that Erwin tooked his hand and pressed a kissed to them on the back of his hand. Armin eyes were brought up to his when he spoked.

“Please never say that again. It is not ‘My Home’. It is ‘Our Home’, because that place is not a home unless you are in it.” He said clearly, Armin flushed almost crimson his ears poofed out along with his tails.. His hair was under the wig so any changes to his hair was under his long wig. It wasn’t nearly as long as his real hair.

“O-our home...our home...huh..” He was bashful at that he does want to go home to him too but, it will only after until they had their talked.

“Erwin...”

The small blonde took his hand and stand on his tippie toes their lips meet ever so softly there was nothing sexual about it, this was more of a gratitude kiss. There was no teeths or tongues...it was just his lips softly pressed to his.

“Our home, I understand.”

He pressed a kiss to his chin than his cheek, he was glad he was wearing heels even if he had lost way he hasn’t lost his tall build.

“I’ll see you home tonight, Erwin.”

He nuzzled his nose to his it was a lazy affection most felines uses against a mate. He said most because he didn’t think he was capable of it at first and he was glad for it after he got his act together.

Armin stepped back and smiled to him he has no intention of having sex with him until after their talk. Saturday is literally around the corner they could wait a few more days. 

For now he only wanted to work on their level of comfortableness around each other...or should he say with each other.

“Don’t stress yourself out too hard and take regular breaks.”

Armin told him he took his cheeks within his soft hands, “I’ll run you a nice hot bath and give you a massage to ease your tense body. So do your best today.”

Armin didn’t purr or suggest more into being in bed together he waited this long not having sex. If and he does mean if Erwin is fine with it after their talk Saturday night than he would be happy to be in his arms making love to each other. He just didn’t want to get his hope up he knows from a long long life that life is full of disappointment and his reality would only get him hurt if things don’t go his way.....or their way to be more precise.

Armin released him and took a step back with a smile he began packing everything up. No one left a scrap of food in their containers so he could make Ghislain wash them while he gets to work on knocking out his meeting time and hurry on to the grocery store. Unlike Eren he doesn’t have vegetable garden in the back of his house or a room dedicated for harvesting some plants that can’t be outside without people stealing it or rodents having a field day. He was nice enough to leave a bowl or two for them and all the neighborhood cats that he knows of get their meal or two a day and fresh drinking water for any who stumbles upon it.

Armin took everything to his car, Erwin was nice to carry two basket to his car before they said their goodbyes to each other. Once five roll around Armin’s free to beat traffic and by seven everything will be ready for Erwin to come home and relax.

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

For a moment in his arms, Erwin could pretend as if nothing between them had ever changed. For a moment the world melted away and it was just the two of them again. Holding each other in their arms and breathing the other in, for just a moment everything was fine again. Erwin listened quietly to what Armin was saying without responding because they would talk all that over this weekend. It seemed like an eternity to wait but he would always wait for Armin as he has been doing since he left him.

Letting Armin lead him the two of them joined Levi and Eren in the conference room for lunch. Levi had already sniffed out Eren’s cooking and was happily eating it. The only person who could steal a bite from him now was the person who had cooked it. Anyone else would lose a limb. He couldn’t help but chuckle at Levi’s glare at Armin who had smacked him when he walked then rushed through.

When it came to the people Levi cared about he was more bark than bite towards them. To people who tried to harm them though, that was a different story because then the dragon would come out. He was glad to be counted amongst those people. Levi had been his friend since Levi was born a year after him.

He was glad he had asked Levi to drink with him tonight; because he knew Levi would be able to work out telling Armin what was inside of him before their talk on Saturday. Even though Armin had said he wants to know his fears he still didn’t know how since Armin had always taken him for someone so fearless. Armin had always looked at him as though he were invincible.

His eyes focused in on Armin when he grabbed his face and made him look at him. He was glad for the distraction because the taste of Armin’s food was making tears prick at the back of his eyes and crying in front of Armin was one thing. Crying in front of others at work was another. He blinked for a moment as he took in Armin’s questions and processed it. Frankly he was wondering why Armin thought he feared him.

“No. I don’t. Never you.” He told Armin clearly before returning to eating the food that he had made for him. It had been so long since he had eaten Armin’s cooking.

Happily Erwin ate the food that Armin had made for him until it was all gone and lunch was nearly over as well so he was going to have to get right back to work. He paused though and turned to Armin when he called out his name. He really loved the way Armin said his name. Even though his mini Armin had his voice the sound of his name on their lips was entirely different. The real Armin saying his name was infinitely better by far.

“Yes?” He asked him gently.

Erwin couldn’t help but return the smile that Armin was gracing him with. The smile reached his eyes this time so his smile was full of relief that he’s actually really smiling at him now. He had missed that look more than anything. Smiling back at him was only natural. He was stunned into silence for a moment just standing there and staring down at Armin’s face.

“No.... I would love that more than anything....” Erwin murmured at a level Armin could still clearly hear his answer.

Erwin couldn’t help the stab of sadness that went right through his heart at Armin’s last words that he couldn’t help himself. He took Armin’s hand into his own and bending slightly brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it. He then brought his gaze up to meet Armin’s clearly before he even spoke.

“Please never say that again. It is not ‘My Home’. It is ‘Our Home’, because that place is not a home unless you are in it.” He said clearly because he couldn’t let Armin continue on calling that place his home when he wasn’t even there with him.

He meant every word too. He blinked when Armin’s ears and tails popped out and he couldn’t help the chuckled that escaped him because Armin looked so cute like that. Sadly Eren covered him with Levi’s coat even though he was actively shielding the room, even from the cameras.

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

Ria didn’t even get to say goodbye to Alexander when he had to take care of a talkative Luna. She was quite disappointed but, that didn’t stop her to getting to work. After fifteen minutes had passed he unlocked Luna from the storage women. She had calmed down by that time as she took a seat in one of the tea shop. She ordered some tea while she slipped on a pair of sunglasses the vision shortly after hit her as she slumped against the table the tea made it safely back in it saucers.

Ria watched Udup and Alexis helping in the tea shop for the time being, they didn’t need any right now it wasn’t rush hour yet. She returned to the flower shop it was a little slower than the others. SO she took the time to look into if their business can afford to do deliveries. Armin promised her that if she does start a delivery service he would be her permanent client. It would be a lot of work but, they pay is beyond great that she can keep up with life insurance and medical benefits. She can buy the vans and get them custom made first but, she;ll need more people if she were to pull this project off.

Since Alexander taught her how to use a computer and work with a program he made. It becomes quiet easy to learn there was a mini or should she refer it as a chibi Alexander walking across her scream and pointing things out. It included a step by step and if she didn’t understand she can talk to him so he could do all the calculation instantly and refer to her the best possible option on a deal and or client after doing an interview.

Ria looked up quickly a familiar scent caught her momentarily off guard. She picked up Iris who was climbing on her. She stood up with her and walked over to the Iris flowers.

“Anything you need, little Iris?”

The girl giggled before putting a cut flower into her hair it was yellow but, the stench was off. She pulled the flower out of her hair and didn’t nibble lightly on a petal she usually does when Iris does this.

The plant was indeed yellow and it had many of petals even in the bud is wellow with pointy round nubs. It stinks too but, some flowers does stink so she can’t judge it by sent alone. If other plants got in contact with it she can’t always rely on sense of smell. So Ria licked the plant before biting on it to get a taste of it on her tongue.

There was no mistake it’s poisonous. She spit out she kept spiting until she was sure it was out of her. If not she might have to induce a fever to burn it out of her system.

‘Ragwort…’

‘Ragwort has a bitter taste, and a pungent aroma, which makes accidental ingestion rare. Ragwort is more dangerous to livestock than to human beings but, she wasn’t just any normal human being she had to be leery of all poisons… However, for allergy sufferers ragwort can bring on fatal respiratory symptoms…That can and will be a cause of death if these flowers were somewhere where Iris could get to them than she needed to get everyone to close down shop and do a sweep. She can’t have poisonous flowers in her shop. Herbs are one thing but, this is another. She doesn’t sell herbal plants that have a toxin in them. If they can harm humans she wasn’t the shop for that and if it can hurt animals as well she didn’t sell them either. Her plants are selected by herself she hand picked them all by herself. She knows a good plant from a bad one. She memorized all the plants as well as Udup so she can actively recall if she bought this flower… She didn’t.

“Iris, Where did you get this?”

The little girl pointed over to a corner Ria went over to it picked it up and set it in the back room. Iris on her hips. She labeled a do not sale on it and wrote underneath sale that it was toxin. They won’t question her she’ll have to dispose of it properly. Maybe send it back where it came from or far away from some poor horses could consume.

“Iris these are bad. Very bad. It can harm someone and possibly kill. If they weren’t put in here by me or Udup and your mama. Than tell either one of us we need to dispose them quickly yet efficiently. We can’t show these to our clients or the inspectors. Okay, Iris.”

Iris nodded in understanding.

“Good girl.”

Ria went back outside and inspect each flowers just as she stepped in front of the large glass something swift came her way and when her mind process what was going on she shielded Iris with her body covering over and around her. The bat smashed the glass rays of shards scatter. Some glasses were embedded in her when the bat made contact with her back.

She took the brunt of it all making sure, Iris wasn’t hurt by the glass or the bat.

She let the bat movedher small body to the side she parted her feet to brace herself on her feet. Ria didn’t make a sound she only breathed slowly very slowly.

‘This doesn’t hurt….this didn’t hurt me at all. I can take it. I can take more.’

She thought as she raised up her eyes shifted to the three boys who were laughing at her and Iris crying voice. The commotion lead Alexis and Udup to the flower shop. One looked at Iris and Ria’s own blood on her and Iris Alexis turned on them. Udup must have trusted her enough to handle her own against three teenager.

Udup went over to her secretly healing the deep cuts on her caused by the bat unfortunately he can’t heal glasses that were in her skin. If he had he would have to cut her open again and remove the shard one by one the bat had it further in than a simple nail can pluck out.

“Udup, take Iris from me. I’m going to tell them a flying ball crashed the window and we are fixing it now. I don’t want it to cause a panic.”

She didn’t notice Lucy was there with Alexis, she told everyone it was okay, Udup healed the front side and her forehead he even restored her clothes.

When everyone was sure that everything’s alright they went on doing their own thing as per usual.

She returned to the flower shop Lucy had already taken the boys from her property. Or so Udup caught her up to speed she didn’t want those boys harm they were just being used. She could understand that very well she didn’t have a cellphone but, she could use the shop to at least call Alexander. She remember those numbers so maybe she could ask Alexander to tell the others not to be so hard on those kids. Kids always makes mistakes nobody’s perfect that she knows for a fact.

Alexander seems so perfect…like a prince…no not a prince he was more like a King. A king… He had the personification to be one… He makes decision and he’s strong and yet, he’s kind, compassionate to a woman like her. In the beginning she thought all men were evil, cruel in fact. So she put on a smile and kept her distatnt she didn’t touch them and wouldn’t look at them for long.

She didn’t feel that way with Alexander and Armin, slowly after it was Eren and even though Levi is rude and a bit cruel but, he woud pat her on the head if she looked troubled and often point at Alexander if she wanted to talk to him.

She just smiled at him and he took it as a yes, the two would talk in private and that brought her even closer to him. He would listen to him and some times sometimes she would talk to him about her past. The good and the bad and the horrific one as well. She didn’t have a choice when she woke up screaming from her nap. She caused quiet a mess and caused Alexander some trouble with traffic he had to cover up for her. So little by little she talked it wasn’t all at once but, he knows more about her than her own brother… Armin knew everything about her she guessed she took some sympathy with her and guard her from men who advanced on her or caused her trouble. Now Armin handed that job over to Alexander he told him that he wasn’t fit to protect her or Erwin with his mind is shattering by pieces by pieces everyday until he wanted to kill her and her brother and Erwin. So he kept his distance from everyone but, Eren or so she heard or seen with her own eyes.

Ria picked up a large spare glass and got it install with everyone’s help, they even swept together. Udup had to keep Iris off the floor until they were done and with Udups ability he scrubbed the floor glass free with water and dispose of the remaining glass into the trash can separated from the water itself and the flowers trash can as well.

With all of it done he talked to Alexis and private for a few minutes she smiled and accepted of course. Luna woke up from her vision to go next door to the adjoining path. Alexis and Ria were heading upstairs so she followed Ria had to strip out of her garment and showered the glass out of her that meant she had to take down her long braid down.

She let everything wash away she was careful to wash herself and when she was done she towel dry herself and went into the room where Alexis got her emergency box. Since Armin was the one to pack everything in there she even got some hospital stuff as well that was hard to come by. She didn’t take any drugs so she wasn’t going to start now. If it were herbal tea than it was a maybe depending on what it was.

Ria got on the bed and moved the towel to cover her waist, she laid on her stomach her hair being pushed to the side. Luna and Alexis took turns to getting the embedded glasses off her back.

An hour later, she was dressed up in something Alexis put her in.

Everything after that went smoothly she would have called Alexander if Ria wasn’t so busy because customers started to get a bit hectic at eleven and since noon was coming around they had their hands full until they knocked half of them back. Which they were doing so she could go check on the flower shop as well.

Eren was gulping his coffee of course he does have a cat tongue he can’t eat or drink overly hot tea so he cools it down a bit to be gulping shit the way he does. He barely looked at Hanji as he draw back his coffee..

“Need…more…Coffeeeeeee.” He eyed Hanji cup and came toward her she had enough sense to hide behind Connie.

Connie was laughing teasing Hanji.

“Maaaybe. I saw something…or heard something~ You will never know~”

He said in a scary voice with an evil laughter to get Hanji squealing she did but, she wasn’t on her feet she rolled with her chair to stay behind him while carefully tried to keep Eren’s greedy mitts off her drink. She could put unexplainable product in his coffee and he’d still drink it, hot sauce, mustard, mayo, you name it they tried it and with combos with others and Eren still swipe others people coffee’s it’s rare and sacred. Ony Levi’s mug and coffee was saved unless Levi willingly give Eren his cup of mocha coffee. .

A little later on on this day…

Eren sat at his chair some moments he felt really hot so he took off his tie and unbutton a few of his shirt buttons. After a moment he took off his vest and he thought he heard Levi make his move on him. His cheeks were flush and yet, he still didn’t acknowledge Levi even as he dragged his spacy self up into his office. He set him down on his very comfortable sofa he must have hand picked himself. His butt sank into the couch beautifully even as he giggled at the prospect that the ring he’s making is almost complete. Burns and cuts on his hand was so worth it he heard snapping sounds in front of his face and he positively pouted as he focus on him for a second. His eyes travel to his throat and those strong collar bones… Eren thought he pounced on him just to stip him naked and see all those delicious skin. He grabbed Levi by his tie and pulled him closer he always asked this when he’s drunk off cat nipped.

“Levi, won’t you take me already.”

Of course evi just pushed him back and looked even a little peeved.

Eren sulked, “So mean…I’m not a kid any’mo…I’m a grown man…Someday I’ll make you see that. Watch me, Levi.”

Levi looked away from him and muttering cutely Eren couldn’t help but, chuckle cutely.

Eren took a moment to compose himself while Levi got up to get him some water. Levi asked the question again about him in women clothing so Eren let him squirm a bit before he answered.

“Because, I need you. One of my case targets lesbian lovers so I need someone to watch my back. I could ask Armin but, you and everyone else know what will happen when I do. I can pretty much guaranteed if I am hurt in any way I wont have a witness much less a suspect.”

Levi nodded his head in understandment, “I’ve also heard you were working on a particular drug case. Some of those lesbian lovers had the same properties as that mysterious drugs you were into. I figure we can hit two birds with one stones. What do you say?”

Levi: “I see…”

Eren made a side comment, “Annnd I thought you would look hot wearing leathers…and heels…so that was my hidden objective as well. Since you agreed you can’t back out. Our case is riding on it. It’s beneficial for both of us don’t you agree? On a personal note that’s not business at all Armin will be the one to make his move on Erwin. So don’t be a dick and chew them out okay Levi? You’re not socially gifted but, I understand you perfectly they won’t. So I want you to not interfere in this one. You’re too much of a sandpaper  when you should be a cute cuddly kitten.”

Eren leaned away from his fingers to grab his face Eren dodged him and bounce all over the room to get away from him laughing. Hopefully exercise would get the last remaining catnip out of his system.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

Ria heard her name and turned her head towards the sound of her true love.

“A-Alexander.”

Her hair was done a bit wet from the shower, but it’s passed her feet. Alexis made it clear to everyone who came in or was there when she came back to work that if anyone stepped on her hair they’d have to deal with the Employee’s of her shops.

She set the customers tea down with a thank you and have an enjoyable stay here as she tucked the tray under her arm and hurried over. Of course she tripped over someone loose belonging. She would have had a nasty fall if it weren’t for Alexander quick thinking to lifting her body up and over one of his strong arms. He carried her effortlessly as if she didn’t weight a thing “THank you, sorry about this.”

She said breathlessly, she was still trying to ignore that accident it could have been bad.

“Are you alright, Ria?”

Ria focused her gaze on him with a smile, “I’m fine. You can put me down, My hair is still wet and it’s getting on to you.”

Alexander smiled at her more, “Not at all it’s fine.  Alexis has informed me that I shall be staying with you above the tea shop until this business with some land sharks is taken care of… You do know about it right? She’s not just trying to trick you into agreeing with it is she?” He asked a bit worriedly.

Ria blushed a hand raised to her mouth she totally forgot to ask him,

“I’m so sorry, I got distracted. I do know that. She wasn’t tricking anyone.. Udup suggested it. I told them I could stay here alone and see if I could catch those people who are harassing me. I didn’t want to trouble you…but, neither one would let me go back on it. Oh but, there’s two rooms so you won’t have to sleep on the sofa…or I would sleep on the sofa…I could….I could really use some help. They are attacking me during business hours now and it will cause a lot of problems to my customers….Iris almost got hrt…Oh, but I shielded her. She didn’t get hit by a bat or glass cut her. She’s fine but, we did change her and checked to make sure just in case. I took the brunt of it all.”

She giggled nervously…

“Oh, those boys…no one hurt them right? I don’t want to press charges or anything. Just a fair warning would be nice…they are just kids…i’d rather we could catch the one in charged…instead..”

Ria bowed her head, “…I don’t have any more insurance to cover those windows anymore…and I don’t have high tech cameras like some shop is….I’m really sorry for troubling you…but, you said I could ask you for help anytime so could you help me? Iris even found a poisonous plant in my shop that I did not purchase.. If inspections or some sees them I’m afraid that that incident will revoke my license….my business would be taken down at this rate.” Ria eyes started to shine with tears…she was whispering to him so others wouldn’t over hear their conversation. He took her away so Luna pitched in in her stead.

Luna saw her life long mate there he was the complete opposite of her. She often met him in their dreams. The dreams were always hazy on his part she set everything down ms came running towards him as if she were out of time. Her small arms wrapped around his neck and laid him a good solid kiss.

“Helrian (husband), I finally found you.” She said with a happy smile she gaze over to the woman who said she had a big hair. “I do not have a big hair. I have ears that can hear everything.” She said aloud. It really was no surprise they has similar abilities. She was wiser and kind. She thinks before she acts. She turned to look at him and this his badge and than to his face again. “I’ve longed to see you, Kenta. I’ve been waiting for you. I am called Luna.” She said with a cheerful smile as if he were her long lost lover. Udup im the background dropped his server plate. “Luna?”

Armin was very happy yet, so relieved that Erwin told him that he would always make time for him no matter if he was busy or not. However, he didn’t want their time being rushed and he made that very clear. If he needed to take some time off than he had strongly advised that.

He held his face with both hands, “I am well aware of how tired you are. When we sit down and have our talk our business life should not interfere with our personal or private life. It’s really important, Erwin.”

He held his gaze steadily, “You have a few cases. I saw them when you weren’t paying any attention to me. I’ve already looked them over and from what it looks like you have far too many of them from the last time I’ve been with you…. I can wait, truly I can. You’ve waited for me all this time. I can wait for you rather it’s Saturday, a week from now, or months in advance. For you Erwin I can even wait for an eternity. I’m just worried you’ll find someone else at that point or you keel over and die on your paperwork. Which ever the two comes first.”

Erwin eyes were trying to read him but, all he showed was his concern and the longing of just wanting to be in this man arms again. He couldn’t make heads or tale of why Erwin fear him so much… Is he truly afraid of him?? He never killed in front of him again. He never swore or cussed someone out in front of Erwin if anyone had a repeated offence in personality and speech it would be Levi not him.

“I’m free. I can make it.”

Erwin told him,

“I can finish this up before our talk.”

Armin smiled a little, “Okay. I will see you Saturday. It’s a date than. Mini Armin can guide you to my real place. He has the key and password so by al means do stop by. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Armin couldn’t believe the luch he was having…maybe he could cook them a meal…play some music they both enjoyed…have a little wine that won’t put Erwin and himself under the influence of alcohol.

Armin reached his hand out to Erwin in an attempt to pull him to his feet but, when their hand connected and felt that familiar jolt. He hadn’t expect Erwin to pull him softly into his lap like old times sake. Erwins chin at that special nook where his neck and his shoulder meet.

“I’m sorry… Just… Just stay for a moment… Please?” There was no masking the cracking of his voice this time.

Armin intantly relaxed in his hold and did something better he leaned into him wrapped his arms around him with one hand to his hair stroking him as if he were his child. He was no child but, a mate who is seeking comfort from his own mate.

“There there….I’m not going anywhere without you again, Baby. I just want you to know that I need you too. I miss you too, and I will pray that someday some faraway future that you would forgive me too… My head wasn’t on my shoulder anymore and I don’t want to make an excuse for that…. I’m just so sorry that I did this to you. I regret it so much I will always regret this for as long as I live. Right now at this moment I just don’t know where my boundary is with you so I’m hesitant to touch you. I want you to understand that I don’t want just your body. I need more than just….a simple love.. I need more than just your body and your strong will…. I need all of you. Your love, your fear, your hate, or insecurities, or all of the positive emotion that I’ve never got to experienced as a baby. I need you, Erwin. That’s all…”

Armin cupped his face so he could look him in his eyes, “Our talk…will be about our future. Someday, I hope we could be marry in your way of custom and mine. Someday, I pray we have a lot of kids. That have our blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. I don’t want to talk about it here at your workplace.. So please, Erwin. Don’t let me confess all of me here. Bare with me just a little while longer, Erwin. We can fix this, I swear to you upon my name. We can make it work…Let’s have our dreams together someday.” Armin rubbed his cheeks to his while setting Erwin right where he had been before. Which was resting his tired body pressed against his. His chin at the nook of his neck where his shoulder meet.

Armin rarely sings but, just for today he rocked him back and forth holding him and stroking his hair. He hummed for him that sounded sweet yet, sad.

“Hmm hm~ Hm hmmm mmh hm.”

When Erwin was ready he let go of him and got up on his own two feet, again he reached his hand out for him. When he grabbed it this time Armin effortlessly pulled him up with his strength. He held his hand strongly, he held it long enough to be to long among most humans standard and let go. ‘Believe, me…I wanted to hold on to you longer…but, not now… Not, yet.’

Armin watched him he was getting himself ready drying his eyes, fixing his suit and fixing the hair he purposely messed up in his stroking. He quietly exited the room and made his way downstairs. He smacked Levi upside the head in his passing while quickly getting out of his reach. “You have an hour lunch break you can afford to wait a bit.”

Armin gave him a glare that held no heat he as putting Erwin food out on to display he obviously thought big of him since Eren’s portion was a tad bit smaller.

When Erwin sat down he looked perfect from head to toe his glasses hid what little red rims under his eyes. It’s not very visible but, Armin knew he had been crying he has too but, his Jaeger side heals everything too much unless he wills it to stay. The only thing that did stay was Erwin hickeys but, he haven’t had one in four months.

Armin gave him his plate he fixed up just for you, “Here, I hope you like it.”

He smiled softly and a bit shyly. He probably shouldn’t have said those things to him until Saturday, because now he’s silent and went to pondering over his thoughts. Maybe it was a good thing…it would give him some time to get what he wants in order. That’s either me or he wants to break up and move on.

Either decision he makes he would support it. However when they break up and he truly moves on. He was going home….and he won’t ever come back to this place. Or the US. It be in a place no one could reach him that also include the immortal Erwin. It was his only way he could think of to truly let him go the one way he could think of that might free Erwin of him.

However there was something he needed to ask and he needed to know if that answer is a yes or a no. 

Armin stopped serving him food long enough to grab Erwin face so he’d look at only him.

“Need your eyes on me, Baby. I need to know something. Do you Erwin Smith fear me. Are you afraid of me, scared of me? Do you fear me from hurting people or do you fear me because I pose a danger to your life and others. Do you fear me as a whole. I’m not asking about if others were to hurt me. I want to know if it’s me. Just me.”

When Erwin finally answer him his heart thump painfully as he looked at him.

“No. I don’t. Never you.”

Armin let the breath he was holding out with a relieved sigh on his face.

“That’s good. Very good. I;m glad. I’ve been thinking maybe I am the wrong with a problem…or something. Anyway keep eating. Come on this food isn’t going to eat themselves.” Armin filled his plates and hand it on back to him he poured his favorite drink inside the thermal cup and gave it to him.

Armin had a goofy smile on his face the whole time….So, his mate didn’t fear him. That was great. Really great. Whoa, Erwin isn’t afraid of me…oh thank Goddess…

Armin let Erwin eat his fill until he put everything back in their respectable baskets.

“Erwin?”

When Erwin looked at him with very complex emotion in his eyes Armin can assume not all of it were bad since he gave him a smile. A smile that wasn’t strain at all. Armin smiled up to him it was as easy as taking a breath when his emotion were light and the love of his soul was smiling back to him.

“Do you mind…if I could make your lunch tomorrow? And…if you’re going home tonight….I could make you dinner too….i-if you want. If I’m  being to assertive or busy…just tell me no for now. I’ll understand.”

If his ears and tail were visible with his down cat eyes he’d be a helpless sad little creature.

Erwin told him yes and that made his day so much brighter.

“O-okay. Um after work I’ll just swing back to your home.”

Armin wished he could say our home…if things gets better he wants to go home to their house. And, when he gets pregnant he’ll beg Erwin to pick a house with him for their unborn litters. They’ll need a really big place…they should get a playroom inside the house too.. Maybe a few rooms can be sound proof but, with an AI system to alert them if their were danger in the house. Not like his internal mother senses would rely on an AI.

A mother actively and frequently scan and check their youngs a couple of minutes of every day of every hour without fail.

I guess his head was so in the cloud that Eren tossed a coat jacket that smelled of Levi.

“It’s out.”

Armin wiped that horrid grin off his face as he concentrate to tuck his cat ears and tails back in.

“Sorry, about that. Let my guard down there for a sec. I should get going I snuck off work without telling Ghislain a damn thing. He’ll kill me once I get back for sure. Bye, Erwin, Eren, Levi see you tomorrow and you tonight, Erwin.”

[immortal-vampireprosecutor]

Erwin didn’t really even notice when Levi drug Eren up to his office and merely busied himself with work. He had cases he always carried around with him so there was always something for him to do. He took work home with him since he home was no longer a home. It was just some place to lay his head when his body needed sleep.

Sleep was little found and no comfort to him so he tended to work long into the night. He made sure to bathe, shave and his clothes were always neat though all that was more out of habit then anything else. Without Armin there his life didn’t mean a damn thing. How was he supposed to confess that all this time he has been terrified of losing him?

The only person who seemed to see through everything about him was Levi, he could see the fear he tried to keep carefully hidden. Levi saw everything he tried to keep hidden. He wondered sometimes if that was a dragon’s ability or if it was unique to Levi alone. He kept himself busy even up to the moment that Armin returned.

Calling them to the break room to eat he busied himself with putting his files away and locking them in his bottom drawer. He hadn’t thought Armin would want to interact with him that much and had only offered to make his food out of habit. He couldn’t say he wasn’t stunned to turn to get up and find Armin standing before him.

Slowly he brought his gaze up to meet Armin’s that was staring at him intently as if he had something more he wanted to say. Erwin didn’t even realize he was holding his breath as he sat there waiting for Armin to speak. He wouldn’t make the first move because more than anything he didn’t want to lose him.

He didn’t want Armin to run from him even though he wanted to pull him to him and crush him to his chest. He wanted to hold him there and never let go but Armin didn’t seem to be the same. He seemed to want Erwin only when he wanted him but to be left alone and free from everything when he didn’t.

Erwin wasn’t sure how to live like that. All he wanted was to keep Armin safe even though Armin was powerful that still couldn’t put him at ease that he was safe when he wasn’t by his side. He didn’t know how to change or let these feelings go.

When Armin carefully touched him and spoke his name he almost shattered because he hadn’t heard Armin speak his name like that since he witnessed him murder two men. He was like his empty house, frozen in time, waiting for the family to come back that made it a home.

As Armin brushed his fingers over his face and smoothed his hair, Erwin still didn’t breath as if that breath would shatter this heartbreaking dream. He was more confused than ever. He didn’t know if Armin still wanted him or if this was just a prelude to Armin finally telling him they were over. Not a single thing in the house has been changed since Armin had left. It was all the same waiting for him to come back just like Erwin himself.

Erwin’s heart clenched, nearly stopping from fear when Armin asked him to make time for him. He was only slightly at ease when Armin said it wasn’t to break up. He didn’t know how to get through a conversation with him without letting his fear override himself. He didn’t know how to confess his fears to Armin either but he would at least listen to whatever Armin wants to tell him.

“I will always have time for you Armin.” Erwin said finally after he let go of the breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding this entire time. His voice barely broke when he finally opened his mouth and he slightly hoped Armin hadn’t noticed.

His heart shattered when tears began falling from Armin’s face that he couldn’t stop himself from reaching up and tenderly wiping those tears away.

“I don’t have to wait to answer. I will always have time for you no matter how busy I am.” Erwin murmured softly as he dropped his hand back into his lap.

He wanted to hold him close and never let go again but he knew Armin wouldn’t be okay with that. Armin always had to have the freedom to choose. He never took that away but he supposed he never really gave him the chance to stay on his own either. It was an impulse. He couldn’t help himself when Armin took his hand.

Gently but with strength Erwin pulled Armin into his lap and buried his face into his neck where it met his shoulder. His arms wrapped around Armin and held him there. He was aware they were alone but he didn’t care if they were or not at this point.

“I’m sorry... Just... Just stay for a moment... Please?” There was no masking the cracking of his voice this time.

He knew he should keep his distance until Armin was ready to come back into his arms and he hated feeling this needy as if he couldn’t breath without him. It was this feeling mixed with his fear that had made Armin run from him in the first place. He just needed a moment to gather what little strength he had left.

After a few minutes he finally let go of Armin and let him pull him to his feet. His hand felt completely lonely when Armin let go of it but he was fine for now. He let him hold him at least so he should be happy and grateful for that much at least. Quietly he let Armin go ahead of him only because he needed to gather himself a little bit before going into the break room for lunch.

He had a lot on his mind even more now than this morning so he was once again quiet and reserved as he ate the food Armin had made for him. He could tell that Armin had made it himself because all other food held no flavor to him at all. He did his best to answer Armin whenever he spoke to him but other than that he ate in silence savoring every bite of the food.

Levi had already started eating before they got there because he had already sniffed out Eren’s cooking. He found it rather funny that even though he couldn’t gain any health benefits from eating anymore he still put in the effort to eat everything that Eren made. If anyone else made it he could tell in an instant and would refuse the food.

It made Erwin chuckle a little because he would only share with Eren too who kept stealing bites of Levi’s food from Levi’s own utensils. Anyone else would have had their face planted through the table had they dared to put their germs on Levi’s things but for Eren he would even offer him a bite. Since Eren had food that was made by Armin Levi didn’t bother stealing anything like he would normally have if Eren had prepared his own food.

In a small fortune telling shop three women sat in a circle around a cloth covered table. The deep rich smell of coffee wafted around them as steam rose from the cups resting before them on the tabletop. No one poke for the longest time, one chair sat open at the table holding their gaze.

“You’ve all looked too... At In Young’s fortune with this new job?” The woman in scarlet spoke first breaking the silence. Her voice threaded with barely restrained excitement.

“Of course we have. Why wouldn’t we see how our fearless leader’s luck shall change in a new environment?” Spoke the woman in the purple dress. She leaned forward in her seat to gracefully life her coffee to her lips and take a drink of the deep rich brew.

“I want to know who this mysterious lover is going to be. Should we go visit her at work?” The woman in gold smirked behind her hand. Gold jewelry dripped from her forehead, ears, neck, wrist, fingers, hips, and ankles. She wore a black jacket over a short blue dress with white polka dots. She wore stunning four inch black stiletto pumps to show off her long legs.

“I don’t know... She might get mad at us if she’s working on a case...” The woman in purple objected with a slight frown.

“Oh please it’s her first day at work there’s no way she’s gonna get hit with a case this soon.” The woman in scarlet interjected. She wanted to know if the mystery man was a hottie and they weren’t going to find out sitting around here.

“Really. I want to see this place that brings so much good fortune around In Young. Powerful energies coming together forces out bad luck and brings good fortune to all within.” The woman in gold spoke again this time she too lifted her cup to her lips sipping the hot brew slowly.

“If we get yelled at I’m telling her this was all your guy’s idea and I wanted no part of it.” The woman in the purple dress muttered. In Young was fierce when she was mad. They all knew better than to get on her bad side.

“Shut up, Avery.” The woman in scarlet laughed good-naturedly at her friend’s comment.

These three women had been linked by an unbreakable bond they all shared the gift of true fortune telling. Each woman had a different ability of reading the future. They had all been saved in one way or another by Park In Young. A mysterious woman who was far older than she appeared.

Avery, the woman in the purple dress, was born in America but was abandoned on the streets of Korea when she was sixteen by her parents. She possesses the ability of Dream or Vision Scrying. She can dream events or receive visions of the past, present, and future.

Madam Scarlet, Go Hye Ra, is Korean born though her father was an American soldier. She possesses the ability of Card Scrying. Using any deck of cards, though she prefers Tarot cards, she can divine the past, present, and future.

Capris North, Ha Seo Rin, the woman in gold is a Korean native with a little bit of Taiwanese thrown in on her mother’s side. She is what most people refer to as a witch. She was brought up a tribeswoman before moving to Seoul when she turned nineteen. She has the ability of Sound Scrying. Through chants, songs, and instruments she is able to summon and hear whispers of the past, present, and future. Her preferred instruments of divining are the gold bells attached to the bracelet on her wrist.

Each woman is unique and powerful in their own right and each had their lives saved by In Young. It wasn’t so much that they owed her but she has become an important part of their lives that they wish to see her happy. She always had terrible fortune when it came to herself but now it seemed as though her luck was changing.

It was close to ten o’clock when the women finally entered the SCD building and made their way inside to the bullpen where they spotted In Young and a whole bunch of other people.

“Is this a police station or a modeling agency?” Hye Ra murmured to the other girls before they were spotted by In Young who quickly came over.

“What are you guys doing here? Is everything alright?” She asked with concern lacing her voice. The girls all grinned at her with mischief gleaming in their eyes.

“Girl~ Are you really a cop or an undercover model? Because this place seriously looks like a modeling agency not a cop shop.” Avery asked looking around at all the good looking guys that In Young just so happened to now work with.

“No wonder your misfortune is turning into good fortune... Damn they’re fine.... Any of them single?” Hye Ra asked wiggling her eyebrows at In Young who quickly ushered them out of the bullpen and back toward the entrance.

“Alright time to go!” In Young spoke over Hye Ra’s last statement because she was pretty sure more than a few of these guys spoke English and her friends were way too loud for her comfort.

“Let’s go grab something to eat or drink or something other than you three here....” She muttered as she herded them along like a flock of gaggling geese.

“Now, now, In Young. You know we are only concerned about you. In all the years that we’ve known you, you haven’t dated a single person.” Seo Rin interjected as she was ushered out of the room away from the menagerie of sexy as fuck men.

“Not another word until we have coffee sitting in front of us! Got it?!” In Young was positively mortified. Please don’t let a single one of her co-workers ask about this conversation or anything these loud mouths said.

“Alright, alright. We hear you. Don’t be so grumpy... Eh?” Avery said switching languages easily because the four of them were getting looks from passerby’s since they were speaking English. She was pretty sure most of the people had thought they were tourists or something.

“Wasn’t the Gangnam posting better than this? That Guk Doo was kind of hot. Why didn’t you go out with him?” Seo Rin asked taking the hint to speak Korean already.

“Yeah, he was amazing. Do you still help him out from time to time?” Hye Ra asked with a grin. They’ve meddled in her relationships from time to time. They have gotten guys to ask her out but getting her to say yes has been the problem.

In Young was silent for a moment when they entered the tea shop near the station that one of her co-workers brought in a few kids for vandalizing earlier. Apparently they had done all of their vandalism at the flower shop next door, though they were connected and owned by the same person. What she hadn’t been expecting was to run right into another fucking immortal after leaving two at work.

“I’m sorry I didn’t realize we had coffee in front of us yet.” In Young said dryly deftly attempting their attempts to talk about her love life. “Hi can I get four Americano’s please?” In Young asked the young woman behind the counter.

“Will that be for here or to go?” The silver haired woman asked with a warm smile.

“Ah... Here... This might take awhile...” She muttered under her breath as he friends found a table and took a seat waiting for her to join them.

Once the young woman confirmed her order she took a deep breath and finally went and joined the others. Silence surrounded them as three sets of eyes were set unwaveringly upon In Young’s face. She felt more awkward then the outcast wallflower at senior prom.

Silence ensued until their coffee arrived which they all gave their warmest thanks to the silver haired young lady. Then once again all eyes were back on In Young as she brought her coffee to her lips and took a sip to wet her mouth. The brew was heaven but she didn’t have much time to savor it when the questions started again.

“Well? What about Guk Doo?” Hye Ra asked impatiently. She thought the two of them would make an amazing couple. Hell who wouldn’t want to get their hands on him. He could fight, he had a great body, and an amazing face too.

In Young was considerably distracted because there was no hiding the fact that she was an immortal from those three. Since the girl was working here and the other two worked in her office it would be hard as hell to avoid them. She spent most of her life avoiding other immortals and just going about her existence in peace. She was worried those days might be over.

“He’s fine. He still consults me on cases sometimes. I should probably tell him my post has changed since he sometimes drops in on me without calling...” She said with a sigh pulling out her phone and pulling up his number. She sent him a quick text before putting her phone away again.

The four of them sat there for about a half an hour talking, in that time the young immortal woman left from behind the counter leaving the tea shop to the man in the kitchen. She could have a small amount of peace without her in her presence. It made her nervous. She didn’t really trust many people any more. Not that she really had before but there were a few exceptions like these girls and Guk Doo.

“That is so not what we want to know either. Have you at least slept with him?” Avery chimed in because she could tell something was bothering In Young but since In Young was the type to take everything on herself she knew there must be something she couldn’t tell them.

“Of course not. He’s not the type to have sex with a friend. He’d want a relationship. Something I am not interested in.” That was a lie. She just knew he was mortal and therefore would eventually die, leaving her behind all alone again.

Being unable to die is extremely unbearable at times especially when it came to pursuits of love. Immortals were generally even more fickle. Now she knows everyone is different and she’s sure that not ALL immortal are amoral pricks who are only concerned with themselves but she really couldn’t bring herself to trust any of them when it came to relationships either.

Call her crazy but she was a one lifetime kind of lover. When she finally takes accepts someone, it’s for a lifetime. Her lifetime. She had her heart broken before a couple of centuries ago. She had gotten with another immortal at the time but he had gotten bored of her about a half a century into their relationship and left her for another immortal. Ever since she has avoided other immortals like they were the plague.

She heard the bell above the door chime at someone entering the shop so out of habit she turned to look at who the person was. Turned out to be one of her co-workers again. He bowed in greeting so she returned the bow with a nod of acknowledgement. He went over to the counter and started talking with the man in the kitchen. Apparently they knew each other on a first name basis.

“He’s going to meet his true love here. In a few minutes a small dark girl with big hair is going to pounce on him and kiss him. He doesn’t know her but she knows he’s her fated partner.” Seo Rin said leaning in towards the other girls and talking softly.

That was the downside to Seo Rin’s abilities. She didn’t have to control the sounds, it could be any kind of chime or bell. Any kind of musical instrument at all could set it off. Even ones on the radio. She didn’t listen to it often mostly because she doesn’t want a vision overload about everyone near her. Not only that but sometimes her visions would be about the musicians themselves and their outcomes weren’t always pretty either.

Avery had the same problem almost but her visions came and went without much of a trigger. Thanks to In Young though she has learned to control her ability for the most part. She was grateful to her for that because she had turned to drugs trying to shut the visions out thinking she was going crazy. In Young had taken her in, cleaned her up, and taught her to control the visions so that they weren’t the ones controlling her life but she was.

Each one of them would have died if it hadn’t been for In Young and they didn’t want to see her wasting her life alone when they could tell she truly wanted to fall in love with someone. The kind of love that could last a lifetime so they had been working diligently to find someone who could fulfill her heart’s wish. They weren’t giving up just because she was being stubborn. They would find someone for her even if it was one of her co-workers.

((Armin outfit to the right wig included))

Armin gave Erwin a ‘Sure thing, Love.’ For making his lunch for work he knew Erwin lunch schedule even at his new job. Lil Armin is a great way to keep tabs on his Erwin…And…..get the latest mother fucking pictures…..no one knew how fucking hot Erwin was when he took a shower get out of that shower..Get up in the morning and jesus when he shaved and or working… Sure, call him a stalker it’s just….it’s been lonely without him….

They barely talked as is and he cut their sex life pretty short three months ago or more like they haven’t had sex in over four months… Counting today….if he himself is having sex withdrawal he can only imagine what Erwin is feeling right now. Hell, maybe he had sex with someone else for not giving him any….he had a lot of sex in him…Armin should know since he used to be on the receiving end of that love making… Or maybe he was just fooling himself…They hadn’t made love to each other that felt like a decade to Armin…  He was pretty sure that Erwin knew him before he had meet Eren as a baby…and that is saying something considering Eren is 25.

Armin sighed what was the point in thinking about it now it was not going to save their relationship. Or would it?

‘Haha~ We are made of Madness my dear~’

Crimson Eyes stared at him through his mirror in the bathroom his blue eyes can be seen through that crimson gaze.

“Yes. We are. However, Erwin is different.”

The figure in the mirror did a little twirl as if it were pleased to be acknowledge as an us.

‘I am pleased ever since that man came along you’ve been tamed. So very tamed. A house cat~ Meow Meow~’

Armin iris slated sharp,

“House Cat~” Armin echoed so chillingly cheerful, “I am no such thing~ I am Armin the Blood Queen. I kill who I want when I want and where I want. I do as I please. Always have been always will be.”

The figured stopped it’s little twirl to step closer to Armin in the real world of reality,

“And I sleep with who I want, when I want and with whom I want and yet, you gave your virginity to a pathetic immortal an immortal who crushed your heart. You’re fragmented so very shattered. So many pieces are missing so many you’re like a puzzle that’s so so very incomplete.”

Armin smiled sweetly, “Even if I have my mate I won’t ever be complete. That’s what makes me…Me.”

Phantom Armin: “Yes…what make us…Us.”

Armin: “If we can’t work it out I’ll revert myself to who I was before I meet him and Eren. I won’t hold myself back…I will kill anyone and anything that tries to get in my way …Including my beloved Erwin…”

Mini Erwin heard his name and came trotting into the bathroom with Armin. Mini Erwin saw an odd reflecting in the mirror and snapshot it as he crawled it’s way up to Armin shoulder. Armin never too his eyes off the mirror reflection of his true form.

“You won’t hide anymore?~”

Armin smiles even sweeter,

“I am a Jaegers, that is all of who I am. He knows the truth about me so I won’t hide..”

Armin kissed the small Erwin cheek, “I have this Mini Erwin maybe someday I’ll be satisfied with him. Mini Erwin as long as you stay by my side I will love you forever…”

Mini Erwin smiled while nodding his cute head,

“Ahh misplacing your love into a worthless thing~ How you have fallen~”

“Careful, Love  I’m not below from hurting myself very badly to get you to shut up. Perhaps we should go back to lesson number one. Paper cuts between the thighs the most painful sensational feeling imaginable for anyone living or undead or perhaps a razor to our eyes instead~ It will be loads of fun just you and I. Just us~”

That actually shut his other half up he had a hard time erasing Erwin memories of his horrible cuts to keep his other half quiet. He was cold in the beginning of getting to know each other. But, he doubt he can use the same tricks twice on that man. He had a hard time covering that shit up since Erwin feelings wouldn’t be at ease until he got him really distracted.

Even then Armin was careful to not let him see cutting himself, hurting himself in anyway he can just so he could be….’Normal’ for him.

Armin tilted his head in thought the reflection followed his lead those crimson eyes unblinking as he stared at him whiles he is in deep thoughts.

“Maybe, I’ll hurt myself regardless…he already knows so it wouldn’t be a surprise if I leave frequent violent marks on myself. Knowing that I am hurting you gives me pleasure like no other..”

The lookalike of his formal self actually frown at that, ‘Can’t say I’m agreeing with that plan….’

Armin smiled sugary sweet, “That is only if you get out of line now if you’re a good little boy than just maybe, maybe mommy will give you a cookie~”

Obviously that only mad his phantom self angry but, Armin didn’t care how angry he is as long as he get his end result.

“Mini Erwin, don’t send this to Erwin or talked to Erwin about this. It’s my problem and my problem alone I wish to have my privacy. You’re loyal to me and me alone not to Hanji or anyone else do you understand?”

“Mmn…”

He sounded a little worried and a bit reluctant to agree to that but, after a moment thought he clinged to him.

“Awesome, now as for you my other self good night for now.” He blocked Phantom Armin inside his mind into the deepest part of his conscious as he looked at Erwin announcing his great plan.

“I’m going to cook their meals and I don’t want to be distracted.” Armin eyes were soft yet, so very gentle as he stared at his adorable chibi Erwin. He left the bathroom without another thought to his previous conversation. He gave mini Erwin his meal first who happily stuffed his face with the six mini course meal.

“Good, Love. Finish it all up okay~”

Mini Erwin had to swallow first before he said kay back.

Armin made everyone’s lunch different he knew all of their favorites and included sample dishes of their favorites. He was going to need to take a least two trips if he were going to bring it inside. Maybe he can set everything up in the breakroom instead. Eren would be in the middle. Levi take his right side and he will take his left side. He’ll have Erwin sit beside him or Levi depending on whatever his mood is. If Erwin annoys him than he’ll skip on lunch early and leave his ass like he has done so many time. He knows if he prolongs their talk it’ll be the end for them. A part of him wants that so badly to break free and only love him in his own insane little world.

A part of him thought their past was worth so much more than their past… He truly believed that their future would be so much better where they can be truly together and not in some distant memories. If Armin could be honest with himself he’s afraid to leave Erwin….he’s terrified to be all alone again with only his mind whispering dark bloodlust at every hour. It was time he stopped pussying around their talk he had to do it to get it done once and for all..

“Mini Erwin what’s my schedule this weekend.”

Erwin took a few seconds to sort his thoughts before answering “Free until monday morning.”

Armin nodded his head to confirm his thoughts, “Prevent anyone to put anythings on those days baby, doll. There’s something I need to do as soon as possible. I don’t want anyone to get in my way.”

Armin replied and of course Mini Erwin didn’t say anything else he just made it happen.

Armin finished cooking and even though Levi was a dick he warmed up Eren’s homemade stew, handmade bread, his vegetables that were carefully picked from his garden, Levi’s favorite tea and so on and so forth. By now, Levi should know Eren’s home cooked meals smelled like and how it was presented. Eren had the foresight to actually cooked in advance he just didn’t have time to heat it up and put it in their special container. Including the butter Eren whipped up by hand. It was all there at Eren’s place. 

He left his place to go to his home to cook for Erwin and Eren the only reason he didn’t do Erwin and Eren first was because his place was further from Eren’s and he wanted to time it perfectly.

He knew all of their favorites so that was what he cooked he was extra careful with Erwin’s meal. He poured everything he know, learned and feelings to it. Maybe Erwin won’t know the difference but, he knows himself that he did his absolute best.

As soon as he was done cooking and cleaning as he go he changed clothes after a quick shower got into is red Springer sports car he carefully had everyone meals all wrapped up and secure in multiple baskets in their respectable seat belts.

((Armin’s ride ain’t it sexy? Bold and stands out and luxurious. He needed that extra confident.))

He went to his meetings and wrapped it up quickly he wasn’t in the mood to look over everyone proposal.

He knows what he wants to do and despite his fear pounding hard in his chest his shoulder was squared out even naturally relaxed as his eyes looked a head to their future.

* * * * * *

one thirty came quickly he was their own time with a few minutes to spare he carried four large basket to the breakroom when he got his badge clipped on and the police officer helped him set it all down on the table.

“Mini Erwin I need you to guard these food alright? Make sure no one takes anything that isn’t Erwin, Levi, Eren, and myself understood?”

Mini Erwin did a fancy flip on to the table with his toe sticking out he did a fancy turn spin to look at him with a brighter smile.

“Okay.”

Armin smiled right on back,

“That’s my, Love. I’ll be right back.”

The police officer from the security desk lead him back to this morning when he had meet everyone.

“Erwin, Levi, Eren food is here and before you give me that ugly look it’s Eren’s cooking. He froze over some left overs three days ago and it’s still fresh after I heat it up in their special containers. Now, if you want to be an ass and refuse his hard work of preparing your meal. I’ll eat it.”

Levi glared at him as if he was saying try it before he and Eren left the room Armin stepped up to Erwin who was putting everything away and locking it. When he turned his seat around he was face to face with his stomach. He had to look up to see Armin staring at him intensly.

They were quiet for just a few moments Armin using his will to get everyone but, Erwin out of the room. It was lunch time for them so they went willingly. Some others had a place in mind so he feed their urge to go see them.

Armin bend over his hands softly cupping Erwin’s cheek as if he was a fragile little thing that even his touch could shatter him with just a little touch.

“Erwin…”

It was the first time in a long while that he had said his name so softly so tenderly that the sound of his voice could be barely heard from the immortal himself.

Armin soft fingers rubbed softly, tenderly over the dark circle under his eyes… So….he hadn’t imagine them or the swelling Armin study him quietly, he looked so pale…he’s hardly getting any sunlight…he looked so tired…so very worn despite he took great care in his appearance…his suit that hair his freakishly cute eyebrows.. 

‘I’m the cause of this…I’m foolish to think he had moved on with his life…”

Armin fixed his hair by smoothing it away from his face….

Armin blue eyes stared into Erwin’s set of blue eyes they were trained on him….more so than when he had first came in. Armin eyes steady in resolve as he touched his cheeks again more softly then ever it was more of a ghost touch..

“Erwin. I need to talk to you… Before you get the wrong idea it is not ‘the talk’ of breaking up. I am…free Saturday until Monday morning…And I want to clarify that I am not calling you over as a booty call…it’s not that either okay? I just…want to talk to you…sit down without being rushed. You or me. So, if you would like and if you have some time for me even just a little bit. Could you come over to my place Saturday at seven o'clock. Don’t worry even if you don’t show up. I’ll understand.”

Armin’s multiple heart is either stuttering or pounding so hard it wants to leap out of his chest. It was painful but, he had to do this…for both of them….Erwin won’t take a lead if it meant that Armin himself was going to end it.

Armin urge his eyes to look at him, “I want to see you, Erwin. I meed to talk to you. Even if it’s only five minutes with us…Let me…see you.”

Armin didn’t realize a tear slipped free….and two…and six… and more

He knew he wasn’t emotional stable but, looking at him for the first time in such a long time he couldn’t help it. The Erwin in front of him….broke him…in more ways than any of his hardship he  was forced to endure.

Armin did his best to ignore the stinging pain between his thigh he had cut himself horrifically. It would heal on it’s own in a couple of hours but, he hope the stench of blood isn’t thick in the air considering he bandaged it and hit it with his thigh high that’s being hold by a garter belt. The moment his phantom self told him that Erwin could never ever love him again he did it in the bathroom so Mini Erwin couldn’t see. The water was running to hide any pain that might have slipped from his mouth while absorbing the pain.

“You don’t have to answer not, Love….Just think about it…if not for me than for yourself.” Eren caressed under his eyes once more and his hair even his hair despite how shiny and smooth it is looked dull even to his gaze.

“I guess I should stop talking and feed you. I made your favorites. I don’t want the others keep waiting on us to stuff their faces so let’s go. I’m going to bet you’re even hungrier than Eren.”

Armin resisted the urge to sit on Erwin’s lap and pulled his face to his chest just so he could rest… He wasn’t sure if he was even allowed to do that anymore so he would wait until Saturday. If they can re-establish even a little of their relationship it would be worth all this pain. All he wants is to hold this man in his arms. It doesn’t have to be intimate with them in bed or naked he was fine holding him fully clothed on the sofa if need be.

Armin reached his hand out to Erwin by grabbing his hand and giving him a soft yet, firm pull to his feet. Armin held his hand a few seconds to long before he let if go reluctantly. When was the last time they actually held hand properly? Armin shook that thought of his head before giving him a tentative smile. It was soft yet, awkward at the same time. 

Armin faced ahead and walked toward the door first he looked back to see Erwin following after him. Armin turned back around looking relieved he didn’t hate his ass right now. They went down to the breakroom Armin waited for Erwin to sit down first before he set his meals in front of him, Armin set beside him. He only spoke to ask if Erwin wanted more or a refill of his drink and what he wanted to eat next. He didn’t pay any attention to Eren unless he said his name. Even while tipsy Eren didn’t say anything to him since he knew what he was doing. If anyone other than Erwin tried to talk to Armin. Eren would pinched that person thigh or stomp on a toe while giving them a do not interfere looked in his eyes.

Alexander bid farewell to Ria when a customer asked her for a bouquet of roses. He had to pick up the coffee he had ordered from Zander before heading to the flower shop and Iris ran off amongst the flowers when Ria put her down. He hadn’t noticed the commotion behind him as he ran into his sister and Udup in the Tea Shop that Ria also owned.

Udup as always seemed to hate him for liking his sister so he was as usual cold and silent. Alexis did all the talking before he had to take leave to head to work on time. What he hadn’t been expecting was to meet another immortal, and one he was not familiar with at all. There were meetings amongst the immortals and he had never seen, nor felt, this woman at one.

Alexis would better know than he would. He would consult her later but for now he simply put on a smile and doled out the coffee to Levi and Eren, then Hanji and Connie when they finally showed up. He wasn’t surprised in the slightest because he had already predicted this outcome. However, he misjudged the amount of coffee he should have brought. He’ll go get more later though.

It wasn’t long after they had the meeting after Lucy showed up that the mini Armin in Erwin’s pocket climbed up his shoulder and signaled him to go somewhere private. Since the video conference was over he signaled Levi that he was stepping out for a moment before heading up to the roof. Once up there he locked the door behind him and listened intently to everything that mini Armin was sharing with him.

Erwin knew simply from listening that Armin didn’t know he was there but still he listened in silence. He hadn’t heard Armin’s voice since he moved out. Without so much as a goodbye he packed up his things and left him in that house all alone. It wasn’t as if he wasn’t used to it, at least he was used to it before. Now he wasn’t sure how to go back.

Hadn’t Armin left him? Wasn’t he supposed to figure out how to live without him? What good was not being able to die when you can’t even protect the one person in the world you want to protect most. There wasn’t much Erwin was good at when it came to relationships but he was damn sure he had never downgraded Armin a day in his life.

He was rather offended that Armin could even think that. Erwin on the other hand had been called a faithless cheater, a player, and a conman. He had been none of those things since before they even met. He had never been in a relationship before Armin so there was no way he could be a cheater in the first place. Sure he had had sex before, but he had never been in an actual relationship until he had met Armin.

Erwin had grown tired of the party scene in his seventies and decided to focus solely on work. He and Levi joined the Reverie Royal Army where they served for the next forty years. Through their forty years in service they rose to the highest ranks of the military on their own merit though once Levi had grown tired of it they left military service.

Over the course of the following years Levi led him into a vast assortment of careers, started businesses, attended colleges, earned degrees and doctorates, until their paths finally led them to where they are right now. Levi chose to be a prosecutor and Erwin had chosen to become a cop. That was where he was since then. He was already working as a cop when he met Armin.

Levi had known him longer than Erwin had because Levi had known Eren’s parents before he was born. Erwin met Armin a few years ago when he was helping Levi look after Eren and his sisters. Erwin actually took his time asking Armin out and then they took their time dating, something he had never done before.

Armin had been sweet, kind, and gentle. Levi warned him that Armin was hiding a side of himself from Erwin’s eyes but Erwin didn’t care. There is no side of him that could ever make him stop wanting to be with him. He still wanted to be with him even now. Even after finding out. Even after seeing him kill two men in cold blood. The men he had found out were violent criminals anyways but that hadn’t mattered to him.

What had mattered to him had been the sudden, heart stopping fear that took root in his soul that he was going to have to spend an eternity without him. Now he couldn’t escape from that fear and he couldn’t share it with Armin because Armin seemed to think there was nothing that he was afraid of since he couldn’t die. How could Erwin show Armin that he was terrified of losing him?

Ever since learning that Armin was actually a criminal he and Levi had chased in their past, which was apparently how Levi and him had met, he had been terrified that something was going to happen to Armin. That maybe something would happen to get him caught. He knew Armin would never go down without a fight and demi-god or not Armin could still die if he was mortally wounded.

That was what he feared the most. That Armin would get into a fight whether to keep his freedom or something related to his criminal activities and he would get mortally wounded. What Erwin fears most is living an eternity without the only person he wants to spend the rest of his life with. That fear has been ruling his life ever since he found out about Armin’s dark side.

Erwin stood there for a while after mini Armin had gone silent with his beloved’s voice. He drug his fingers through his hair controlling the urge to scream at the top of his lungs. With a deep breath he straightened his suit and tie, then he closed his eyes and took another steadying breath. Mini Armin tapped his neck signalling that it was time to head back inside. Mini Armin returned to his place in the inside breast pocket of Erwin’s suit.

Connie, Hanji, and Medical Examiner Chan had disappeared while he was busy up on the roof. Alexander had returned the kid that he had taken from Lucy before he left up to the roof, yet he was no where to be seen. Kenta had also disappeared and Prosecutor Park had left with some females he had assumed were her friends from the sound of their conversation.

Lucy was busy writing up the three boys for their vandalism, Levi was watching Eren like a hawk since he had been drinking with Armin last night. He didn’t need to even ask mini Armin if it was true or not, not that he would tell him anyways. He wasn’t successful in his job just because of his good looks. He knew very well the only person who could get Eren to drink catnip laced booze on a work night happens to be Armin.

________________________________________________________________

Alexander had been on top of the world this morning after Ria had finally accepted calling him by his first name. He had rode that wave of happiness until Lucy brought him aside after the video conference with their new bosses and informed him of how he picked up the three boys. Alexander looked them over and knew the answer to his next question before Lucy had even answered it.

“I’ll find out what they were doing. Which one is in charge? He’ll know more than the other two.” Alexander asked eyeing the kid in the hoodie and shorts before Lucy pointed him out.

Nodding to Lucy he walked over to the kid with a confident stride and dragged him to his feet and went in search of a room he could control. It didn’t take long for Alexander to find the right room. He drug him into an interrogation room, using magic he sealed off the main room and the observation room from anyone entering or exiting, then he pulled out his phone and held up a finger to the kid who had been spouting obscenities at him as he drug him in here from the bullpen.

Using his phone he hacked into the security feeds and put them on a loop of him playing around on the phone while the kid looked at him with a silent but pissed off expression. Once the feeds were on a loop he put his phone away and set his ice cold eyes upon the boy. Never piss off a King, even if that King so happens to be a gentleman to the core.

There were just somethings that Alexander couldn’t be a gentleman about and those things generally involved the safety of the people most precious to him. Currently those things involved Ria Imani and Iris Von Drehle, especially since both of those two could be mortally wounded and taken from this world in the cruelest of fashions.

Alexander remembered the day his sister was first scarred, it was the day Lily had died and she had rescued Iris from harm. He would have killed those men had Levi not stopped him at the time. Lily had been like a little sister to him alongside Alexis. He had been happy for her when he heard she had eloped and gotten pregnant with a mortal’s child.

Levi and Erwin had taken care of that whole mess and kept what really happened to Lily a secret and helped Alexis in adopting Iris when he had finally gotten their grandfather’s consent. He had to take on an enormous responsibility that day but he never regretted it for a second and his sister still had no idea of how things had turned out this way.

The day Iris became a Von Drehle was the day that Alexander took on the title of The Immortal King. It was his family’s sole responsibility to govern all immortals and to punish those who committed heinous acts such as serial rapists and murderers. Since there were less than three thousand immortals in the world it wasn’t as hard as a task as many thought. It was similar to running a kingdom however the kingdom was spread out across the entire world.

Every year they held a grand ball. All Immortals are invited to come and most generally do but there are always immortals that can’t make it some years and some that decline for decades at a time. Not only that but he wasn’t that old by immortal standards and when his Grandfather had retired and their parents had to take his place everyone assumed that his grandfather would once again claim the crown.

Alexander drew in a slow even breath as he met the boy’s vicious gaze. His was no longer the warm and friendly gaze his loved ones knew. It was the cold calculating gaze of someone contemplating murder. When he spoke his deep rich voice cut through the air like a hot scalpel cutting through butter.

“I am going to give you the chance to make this real easy on yourself and come clean otherwise I am going to make this the most terrifying five minutes of your entire life that will leave you an empty shell and terrified to leave your parents attic. So choose. Who was it that paid you to harass the Tea and Flower Shops?” Alexander said carefully keeping hold of the boy’s with his own gaze and his hand gripping his face in a iron grip not letting him look away.

After a semi-long pause the kid started spilling everything because he had apparently figured out that Alexander was not bluffing his threat but was in fact completely serious about it. Alexander was impressed the kid didn’t piss himself but didn’t actually mention that fact. Holding up his finger once again he pulled out his phone and removed the loop before taking the kid by the arm again.

Alexander returned the kid, who was much more quiet and obedient than before, to Lucy so that he could finish processing him. He signaled for Kenta to follow him because he was going to head back over to the shops and pick up more coffee for everyone and he only had two hands. However, he paused for a moment pointing a finger at the kid and then gesturing to his friends as well.

“Remember this day the next time you idiot even think about pulling some dumb shit like this again. If you ever get into criminal activities again... I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and make good on my promise. Got it?” He asked the kid who couldn’t seem to answer yes quick enough.

“Good. You better remember that. I suggest you keep your friends in line too or they’ll meet the same fate.” He said warningly before leaving the station to head over to the shops with Kenta.

________________________________________________________________

Since this morning Levi has smelt booze and catnip all over Eren so he knew for a fact he had been drinking all night with Armin again. Since it was catnip laced Levi had been keeping an eye on his all morning because he knew the catnip wasn’t out of his system yet. Which wasn’t a good thing because he had a tendency to start taking his clothes off.

Hanji only laced his drinks when Levi was drinking with them and since he wasn’t there he could rule her out as the culprit especially since she came in hungover with Connie. Sometimes he was lucky and the most Eren would do was space out so he hoped that today was one of those day. Eren though seemed to think he didn’t notice him giving Erwin dirty looks too.

He noticed every single one, mostly only because every fiber of his being was acutely aware of Eren’s every breath. It had been that way ever since Eren was born. Levi had the sneaking suspicion that he had imprinted on Eren when he was born. He could play whatever role Eren needed him to play. However, since Eren entered high school it has been more difficult for him to keep his distance.

Levi wanted Eren to have a normal life and to date people, he didn’t want Eren shackled to him because he had imprinted on Eren and there would never be another person in Levi’s life aside from Eren. Once he had imprinted on Eren his fate had been sealed to only ever love Eren even if he might not love him back. He was afraid their bond was influencing Eren and turning away from anyone he might be able to make a life with.

There was something about him that Eren didn’t know. A secret he had been keeping for the past three years. During a case three years ago Levi had been attacked when chasing down a suspect. He had been bitten and turned into a vampire despite being a dragon. Now he held both elements within him of the supernatural. He was both Dragon and Vampire.

Eren however only knew about the Dragon part, not the Vampire part. Since he held both he wasn’t restricted to some of the things that Vampires were. Vampires couldn’t eat human food without getting sick, where as Levi could eat human food he simply received no benefit from eating it aside from the taste. The only thing that could sustain his life now was blood, and as disgusting as it is to his vampire senses it was the thing that tastes the best to him.

Levi has to be even more careful around Eren now because there are often times where he wants to drink his blood. Eren’s blood is always the most tempting to him and it terrifies him. Then again a lot of things about Eren are tempting to him, like his mouth, his voice, that ass. Levi could barely control himself when they were living together, so for Eren’s safety he had moved out.

The last thing Levi wanted to do was to hurt Eren so he controlled himself and held himself back from doing something that might make Eren hate him for the rest of his life. When Erwin came back from the roof after the meeting he saw that look cross Eren’s face again as Erwin went to his desk that Levi happened to be occupying at that particular moment.

“Drinks after work?” Erwin asked as he grabbed a file out of his bag by Levi’s feet.

“Sure.” Was Levi’s tight lipped response.

Drinks and Erwin spilling his guts to the wrong fucking person again. Levi hated being the middle man between two friends who were in a relationship. Levi had met Armin on a case about twenty-seven years ago, two years before Eren had been born. Even though Armin was a criminal the two of them ended up becoming friends and it was through Armin that Levi had met Eren’s parents.

It was shortly after Erena was born that Levi ended up becoming the guardian of the three kids. It was Eren’s stubbornness that made him become the guardian of his sisters when he finally turned eighteen. Levi had still stayed on to help him out too until three years ago when that incident happened. After that Levi hadn’t been able to trust himself around Eren.

Levi remained lounging in the bullpen keeping an eye on Eren, he was there still when Armin showed up with a shit ton of candy for Eren. He couldn’t help the scowl that crossed his features when Armin offered to bring him food.

“No thanks.” He said looking in he opposite direction. Armin knew about the whole vampire thing, as well as the fact that he gets no nutrients from it. Armin also knew fully well the only food he would eat now was Eren’s.

Erwin was clearly distracted and strangely quiet when Armin arrived. He of course greeted Armin which he did no matter what but usually he would have lectured Armin about getting Eren drunk on a work night there was no such lecture leaving his lips today. Levi wondered what had gotten under Erwin’s skin that he was so out of it and wanting to drink tonight even though they had work tomorrow themselves.

“I would love that.” Erwin replied softly meeting Armin’s gaze with his own. He could tell that Armin’s smile wasn’t really a smile for him and all that he could return right now was acceptance of his offer. He didn’t even have the strength to fake a smile.

Levi would have paid it more attention had Eren not said something about dressing him up like a woman. Dressing Levi himself up as a woman. His focus zeroed back in on Eren’s conversation.d 

When Armin started spouting off about getting Eren in trouble, which was his favorite button of Levi’s to push, he shoved out of Erwin’s seat and went after him to get some damn answers. He couldn’t help that Eren’s safety would always be his highest priority. He had even had to stop Eren from killing some scumbags who had kidnapped his sisters when they couldn’t capture him.

Levi had killed them though, he wouldn’t let Eren become a murder. Not even over scum like them. That was a line he could never let Eren cross. The line going from being a victim to being a murderer, it was a hard line but one he would guard Eren against for the rest of his existence. He watched out for Eren’s sisters too. Even Mikasa’s girlfriend Sasha was under his protection.

His own siblings seemed to get along well with Eren and the girls. They hadn’t met Ignis yet though that was only because their parents had only recently let her join them here in Korea while they went off on their sixth honeymoon. They seemed to have one every time they had a kid taken off their hands. First it had been Leah, then Isabel, then Lucifer, and now Ignis.

As the eldest Levi had to look after the other but since Lucy is of age and living with Lee and Izzy they got the responsibility for looking after the youngest now. In fact up until Ignis all of the younger siblings had looked up to Levi most of all. Ignis though doted like crazy on Lucy the way Izzy use to do to him. In fact she use to hate Eren with a passion, thinking he was stealing her big brother.

She didn’t hate him anymore. He’s grown on her now though. It didn’t happen overnight either, it took Izzy a long time to warm up to Eren but since then Eren has become the only person she lets touch Levi in her presence. Now she even drags Eren out shopping with her, most of the time she forces Levi to wear things that Eren picked out whether they were for women or not. He had the sneaking suspicion she was taking pictures of it too. He had yet to find them.

“Hey Eren, what the hell were you two up to this time?” Levi asked irritated by Armin.

Eren had that vacant expression on his face again. All he did was stare at him with blank eyes as if his mind had drifted off somewhere. Scowling he snapped his fingers in front of his face. After about five minutes of a dopey ass grin spreading across Eren’s face he finally took him by the arm and led him up to his office. Locking the door behind him he sat Eren down on the couch in there and pulled one of the chairs in front of his desk over to sit in front of him.

“Eren! Oi! Brat! Snap out of it! Oi!” He called out snapping his fingers in front of Eren’s face. Alexander needed to hurry the hell back with that fucking coffee.

Once Eren’s gaze slowly focused back on his Levi raised an eyebrow and waved his hand in Eren’s face. When he was finally sure Eren was actually looking at him again he dropped his hand into his lap.

“This is why I tell you not to drink that shit when you have work the next day. You and Armin don’t know how to quit... Now what the hell is this about me and a dress?” Levi demanded after lightly lecturing Eren. He was sort of curious about what Eren had been daydreaming about to have that grin on his face.

________________________________________________________________

With Kenta in tow Alexander made his way back to the shops where Alexis was already busily working to tidy up the place with Iris’s help of course. The little blonde always wanted to help her mama and whenever there was small things for her to help out with she was right there. Iris of course was the first on to spot her uncle and ran straight to him jumping up into his arms with a layer of dirt covering the cutie from head to toe.

“Look Uncle! I’m helping Mama!” She exclaimed holding up her armful of crushed flowers.

“I see! You’re doing a great job.” He said with a smile and kissed her forehead before setting her back down so that she could go about her helping.

“Kenta, tell Zander we’ll need at least eight specials apiece for Zoe and Eren. They were drinking late last night. Also tell him I asked him for four multi-pack trays. He’ll know what I mean. Order anything you like, oh and tell him to add a few rounds of snacks as well... I’ll call Lucy and have him join us up here to carry things when he’s finished.” He said giving Kenta a list of things to do while he talked to his sister.

Smiling Kenta took his list and his leave of Alexander to make his way into the tea shop to go talk with Zander. He wasn’t surprised that Zander had come up with special blends of coffee for both his sister and Eren to combat their drunkenness. He bowed respectfully to Prosecutor Park and her friends who were seated at a nearby table.

Zander’s smiling face appeared in the kitchen window to greet him as he read off the list of things that Alexander had wanted. He had been worried the two of them wouldn’t be able to carry it all he had been relieved when Alexander said he’d call Levi’s little brother Lucifer to help them out. He was looking forward to working with both brothers.

Levi though would always hold a special place for Kenta. He wouldn’t have survived some parts of his life had it not been for Levi. In fact, he held a lot of respect and admiration for Levi. He had been one of the reasons why Kenta had chosen to become a cop in the first place. Then when Levi went from being not only his role model but his friend he had earned his loyalty as well.

Alexander took his sister aside speaking to her for a long moment he was stunned by a remark she had made about being relieved that Alexander would be staying at the shop with Ria for the foreseeable future. He was a bit dumbfounded by the remark and took a long moment to respond to it.

“Wait who is doing what now?” Alexander asked staring at his little sister.

“Didn’t Ria ask you to stay at the tea shop with her until all of this matter is put to bed? I didn’t think you’d turn her down and let her stay here all by herself...” She said to him looking shocked as if he had lost all his morals.

“I would do no such thing and no she did not mention this to me this morning. I only just found out about people bothering her thanks to Lucy. He brought in the three boys you beat up. I interrogated the leader of those brats and found out that they were hired to try and force Ria to sell the property the shops sit on.” He said giving Alexis a rather offended look at her questioning his personality like that.

“Sorry, I should have known you could never turn her down. I’m glad you’re on board. Ah, and since Udup will be all alone at their house he can come stay with me and Iris at the mansion. He can help me with that damn class project and Iris would love it. Do you mind?” She asked with hopeful eyes. She knew he couldn’t say no to her.

“Of course I don’t mind. Whatever makes my girls happiest.” Alexander said with a smile too her and kissed her forehead before leaving her to her cleaning.

Waving to his sister and ruffling Iris’s hair as he passed by Alexander went in search of Ria just to make sure she was really okay with Alexis’s plan and that it wasn’t just suddenly being sprung on her. He knows his sister and that is something she would do to the two of them. She was a meddlesome thing but he loved her none the less for it.

“Ria!” Alexander called out with a brilliant smile that only she could bring to his face when he finally found her. “Alexis has informed me that I shall be staying with you above the tea shop until this business with some land sharks is taken care of... You do know about it right? She’s not just trying to trick you into agreeing with it is she?” He asked a bit worriedly. He wanted Ria to actually want him to be there.

Alexis had felt that inner bell ring, that one that said an immortal was nearby. However, Alexis could discern the differences between each bell and could recognize them immediately when she came across them. Her brother’s was the one she knew best thanks to their close proximity to each other. He was a wonderful big brother who had always looked out for her.

Alexander had supported her when no one else did and even went head to head with their grandfather for her. He had been the only person who had accepted her choice to adopt Iris and become a mom before she had even finished high school. He had been by her side and helped her care for the young fairy child all this time.

Iris’s mother had been Alexis’s best friend. It had been allowed because Lily had been someone who would live as long as she would. At least that had been what everyone had thought at the time. Lily had been older than her and a few years ago she had fallen madly in love with a human. A human she had told her secret to. She was planning on marrying the human because she was pregnant with their child.

Lily, aside from her brother, was her only friend so Alexis kept her secret. There was a special bond between Lily and Alexis. They could always tell when the other was in danger. It was only a month after Lily gave birth to Iris that her husband had gone out drinking with his friends after such a long time. He and his young wife were married now for seven months.

After awhile Lily’s husband became so intoxicated that he ended up bragging to his friends and telling them everything. Especially that his wife was a fairy. He was a chef so she brought luck to his business since he was known for growing all the vegetables that he cooked. It was due to the fact that his young wife was actually a garden fairy that brought life and abundance to his garden.

Jealous of their friend’s fortune they decided to follow him home and abduct this fairy so they could sell her for money. When they found out that they had a half fairy daughter well they wanted to have her as well. However fairies are fierce when it comes to their young and even after being beaten with iron pipes Lily used the last of her strength and her magic to transform herself into an unbreakable cocoon and wrapped herself around their daughter.

Alexis had arrived too late and Lily’s husband thinking he had become the death of both his wife and daughter had gotten beat to death himself attempting to avenge them. When the attacker’s hear small Iris’s cries from inside her mother’s cocoon they worked diligently to crack it open. Alexis stood before Lily’s dead husband for a long moment before his attackers noticed her.

Her face had been dry but her soul was screaming in agony. With her practice sword in hand she used it against the men who finally decided they didn’t want any witnesses. Even a high school girl couldn’t survive this incident. However she was not just some high school girl. She was an immortal who could take any damage inflicted on her and redirect it back at her attackers rendering them useless.

Bruised, bloodied, and beaten she rendered each of her attackers unconscious before approaching the cocoon. Gently she placed her hand on the cocoon and spoke to Lily. When the cocoon cracked and revealed the unharmed golden haired infant within, Alexis heard Lily whisper her final wish. She wished that Alexis would raise Iris as her own and never to let her know the sadness of not being loved.

With Iris in her arms Alexis left the scene and called it in. Luckily for her Erwin got the case since it was a homicide and some facts could be left out. Like how Lily transformed into a cocoon. They just wrote it up that she was missing and presumed dead. Since Alexander spoke in favor of Alexis keeping Iris as her own daughter their grandfather agreed and had taken care of the legal papers himself.

Alexis would always be grateful to her big brother for that faith and kindness. She wanted him to be happy so she would always do her best to facilitate his love life. Since she felt him arrive she shooed Ria out of the brainstorming session and kept Udup all to herself. Not only because she wanted too but because she knew he’d get in the way of Ria’s love.

She loves Udup dearly and Ria is the only person worthy of her brother. Alexis has extremely high standards when it came to potential love interests of her big brother. All the girls who had tried being with him when he was in high school and college had all been run off by Alexis herself. It was also because he never showed any true interest in any of the girls that had chased after him.

Ria was the first person to ever gain her brother’s attention and keep it. She could see how much Ria filled Alexander’s heart it was obvious since he was planting a garden with his own bare hands and creating a portrait of her. He had been at it for weeks. He had finally gotten all the planning just right and was now half way done with the garden.

After a bit of brainstorming and a bit of affection from Udup the two of them headed back out of the break room after Alexis had changed back out of the costume. She had a concept list for the theme for Zander that he could use as inspiration for the special menu. There they ran into Alexander as he was picking up his order of coffee.

Alexis as always greeted him warmly while Udup was as frosty as ever. She really wished he would give in and not bother Ria’s love and constantly block her brother from getting closer to her. She frowned and pouted at Udup for a moment before turning back to Alexander. They spoke for a moment before he had to rush off to work.

Apparently he would be working close by with Levi and some of the others like Eren, Hanji, Connie, and probably Erwin too. She was curious as to why he said it as if it wasn’t sure but had still ordered coffee for Eren, Levi, Hanji, Connie, and himself. She chuckled softly to herself. He was probably playing probability games with himself again. He rarely ever lost though.

“Here Zander look this over and come up with something within two weeks. The decorations will be cast aluminum instead of cast iron so Iris won’t get sick and also since it will have the same look with a lighter weight in case something happens like an accident. We don’t want anyone getting hurt.”

She told him with a smile handing him a list across the counters before Udup grabbed her hand led her towards the flower shop. She didn’t mind at all and willingly followed him until he stopped suddenly causing her to bump into his back.

“Udup? Is everything alright?” She asked with concern.

Alexis could only quietly look at him when he suddenly turned to face her and held her gaze without saying anything for a long moment. She was even more concerned when a troubled look crossed over his face before he leaned down and nuzzled his face into hers. She wasn’t wearing heels at the moment so he had to bend a bit which always made him cute to her like a big teddy bear.

Smiling warmly she nodded her acceptance of meeting this important person to him. He said she was family. In fact the moment he brought up her name the young woman began jumping up and down behind him looking at Alexis over his shoulder and introducing herself. She was a bit surprised but she held it well and greeted the young woman with a smile when she finally came around Udup instead of jumping behind him.

A cute blush settled over Alexis’s cheeks when the young woman called her Udup’s moon. If she was the moon than Iris was the sun just like her mother before her. Polar opposites but drawn together in a fierce inexplicable way that neither could define but cherished deeply. She would always keep her promise to Lily.

Smiling she couldn’t help but be reminded of Lily when meeting Luna. Their personalities were so much alike. It was almost as if Lily was standing before her once more. She came back to her senses at the mention of her brother’s name then quickly replayed the conversation in her mind before responding.

“Empress?” She asked curiously not sure of who Luna was meaning but by the look on Ria’s face that meant it was her.

What shocked Alexis the most was when Udup looked her in the eye and spoke a blatant lie while silencing Luna’s objection. Udup had never lied to her before which caused her to be silent for a moment after he spoke she was shocked. However, she trusted Udup. He had never lied to her before and if he was lying now then he must have a good reason.

He was asking her to ignore Luna calling Ria Empress and it was their secret. She wouldn’t pry. Nodding with an understanding smile she returned his gaze with trust because she had faith that he would trust her with the secret when he was ready.

“I see. I am Alexis Von Drehle and Alexander is my older brother.” She said smiling at Luna and offering a deep respectful bow as was her family custom when greeting people for the first time.

Alexis had to hide behind Udup at Luna’s next words and Ria’s actions. Not only had she turned scarlet but she couldn’t help the laughter trembling on her lips making her whole body tremble as she held it back and buried her face in Udup’s back away from his sister’s gaze. She was quite aware of Ria’s love for her brother but with him being a massive gentleman and Ria being really shy the two of them weren’t getting anywhere.

Finally after a long moment she finally sobered up when Udup turned towards her and took her hand in his. She met his gaze openly and without hesitation. She usually shielded her mind from everyone except Alexander but Udup was the only exception. He could touch her mind whenever he wanted. She was fully open to him alone.

“I do... She reminds me of an old friend.” She said with a smile softened with a touch of sadness. If he happened to see what she was thinking about was simply a flash of a golden haired, blue eyed beauty with the happiest smile directed at Alexis herself. “I look forward to working with her.”

She cheerfully wrapped her arms around Udup and gave him a hug before Iris came rushing in and jumping up into Ria’s arms.

“Unnie! That bad big brother in there is hurting all the flowers and making them cry!”

She shouted pointed towards the shop floor which was just through the entry they were standing next to. Alexis started off first because there was no way in hell she was going to sit idle while some punk traumatized her kid. She caught the bat of one kid who was about to break another window with one hand and held it firmly causing him to turn around and look.

“I’m going to give you punks one chance to get the hell out of here and never come back.” She said coldly as she used the bat to shove the kid over to where his friends had just gathered up.

There was three of them, one seemed to be the ring leader which was where the other little weasel scurried off join up with the second she had caught the bat. Alexis was in no mood to deal with a long drawn out teach them a lesson kind of deal. They scared her kid and made flowers cry. Probably throes of death screams which her kid was gladly taking as crying.

“If you want us to leave and never come back then I guess you guys should just sell the property. Then we wouldn’t need to come back again, and again, and again...” The cocky little punk in the middle said moving closer to her with an attitude that kind of reminded her of Levi but then again Levi had morals and didn’t ever involve kids.

“This property is never getting sold and won’t be coming back here after today. Otherwise I won’t put you in jail. I’ll put you in a body bag.” She whispered in his ear since he had gotten close and up in her face. She was taller than him even without heels.

He didn’t like that threat as he called her a crazy bitch and failed to hit her when she used his own attack against him. She enjoyed making people hit themselves. It was oddly satisfying. Parry. Parry. Counter. She wasn’t a black belt for nothing. She could have been on the Olympic if she had wanted to not that she had.

Seeing their boss getting his ass handed to him by a girl his friends decided to try and join in to help him. Not only were they not touching her she was pushing them out the front doors of the flower shop. These punks had done quite a bit of damage in the short time the shop had been vacant.

________________________________________________________________

Lucifer Rivaille was the highest rated cop in his precinct, with the highest arrest and conviction rate. This was only his second year on the job straight out of the military. He had been Corporal in the Marines before leaving service. He had always wanted to be a cop so he only joined for the mandatory time.

He was the second son but he was only the second youngest out of five. He had three older siblings and one younger. His oldest sibling was his older brother Levi, then his big sister Leah followed by his big sister Isabel, then him, and finally their youngest sister Ignis. As was with tradition amongst the siblings the youngest was always the most spoiled because of the older siblings.

Levi is a prosecutor who lives on his own. Leah is a journalist who writes the stories her sister Isabel reports on the news, the two of them live in a large house with Lucifer. The three of them together work to look after their youngest sister Ignis who convinced their parents to let her live in Korea with them. Their parents had been wanting alone time for awhile so they readily agreed and went on a sixth honeymoon.

Leah and Izzy were passed out drunk on top of each other in the living room, Lucifer didn’t hear his alarm go off and got woke up and hour late to the doorbell ringing. Iggy was passed out in bed because she slept like the dead and was not a morning person. What. So. Ever. In fact she was usually the last person awake in the morning.

“What?!” He barked gruffly at the now cowering delivery boy who held up a package with his name on it and a signature pad. With a click of his tongue he snatched them both, scribbled his name then shoved the pad back into his trembling hands before slamming the door in his face.

Growling Lucifer glared at the package that had to come at six thirty in the morning. Well it was a blessing anyways since he still had to make breakfast and get Iggy ready for school since it was her first day he had to drop her off and fill out some paperwork. Lee and Izzy wouldn’t be any help at all. He’d have to make breakfast, lunch and hangover soup before he could even begin to get the females in his house up.

Rubbing his face he groaned and then smacking his cheeks woke himself up and got to work. He didn’t even have time to take a shower yet. This day was not going well. He tossed the package on the side table in the entrance way forgetting it for the moment to get the day started. When everything was halfway finished he began the routine of rousing his big sisters first getting them sent off to the shower so that the food would be done and waiting when they were.

Then once all the food was finished served he went about waking up Iggy. She should be going through the change soon. Like himself, Izzy, and Levi... Then again she could be a late bloomer like their mom and Leah too. He thought to himself. He was extremely worried about that since he so did not want to be responsible for that period of change in her life.

Puberty was one thing but the Dragon’s Changing Season was an altogether different situation. He’d pick puberty over the change any day. Shaking her small shoulder he called out to her trying to rouse her from her sleep of the dead.

“Iggy! Come on Iggy! Wake up! Today is your first day of school. You can’t be late so you have to get up, take a shower, get dressed, and come to breakfast. I made you all you’re favorites. I even made you lunch.... Come one get up...”

He said as he shook her until she finally sat up. Lucifer was Iggy’s idol so for him she would get up quickly. However though she was up she wasn’t fully awake yet so Lucifer ushered her into her bathroom with her new school uniform so she could shower and get dressed. She was getting to go to a local public school that was in Lucifer’s neighborhood.

Finally after a forty-five minutes of rushing Lucifer finally got everyone fed and ready for the day except for himself. In the last fifteen minutes he managed to shower, shave, change clothes. He was only wearing a black t-shirt, black tank top undershirt, black jeans, black leather biker coat, black leather combat boots, and a watch.

“Lucy, we’re going to be late.” Iggy said a bit impatiently as she waited for him by the door.

Lucy was what his closest friends and family called him since it was short for Lucifer. He knew she was only bluffing her impatience since she rarely wanted to leave his side for a second. Which happened to be the reason she had convinced their parents to let her live with him in the first place. Checking his pockets he made sure he had his keys, his phone, and his badge before heading to the entryway.

A smile spread across his face seeing his adorable little sister standing in the entryway in her new school uniform. He snapped a photo of her to show Levi later. Lee and Izzy already took off for work with their lunches and Iggy was waiting for him with her own lunch in hand. Walking past the side table he noticed the package from earlier and absently brought it with him.

It didn’t take long for him to walk her to school and finish the paperwork they needed. By the time he was finished it was already seven-thirty. Leaving the school he finally open the package to find a new badge and a set of instructions telling him he’d been reassigned to a new division and where to arrive at. It also told him when. Shit. Fuck. He was late on his first fucking day. Wonderful.

Luckily it was in his area so it wasn’t too bad and if he hauled ass he should be able to make it across to the other side of the neighborhood in ten minutes. He didn’t even waste time to think about it and just started running. He took short cuts whenever he could trying to shorten the time getting there. Everything would have been fine until he got to that damn flower shop and some punk came flying into him.

Lucy shoved the kid off of him and jumped to his feet. Another kid came flying at him though with his reflexes he managed to deflect the second kid on top of the first one knocking him back down to the ground. Then a third one, he again deflected on top of the other two who were trying to help each other up off of the ground.

When Lucy looked from the three boys to the flower shop he wasn’t surprised anymore as to why he had gotten hit by one of them. Alexis had fought them off and the look in her eyes was cold as ice. She was pissed the fuck off and he could see why. The shop owner was holding her daughter Iris who was still cheering her mother on.

The three kids had caused a lot of damage to the shop which had his attention back on them now. He snatched each of them up by their collars and slapped cuffs on them before they could run away. He made them all sit and wait while he snapped pictures of the damage with his phone.

“Hey Al, I’ll take them in and come back for your statements later. Shit... Now I’m even later... Tch. Damn punks.” He muttered grabbing them up by the cuffs and rushing their asses to his new building. He drug them into the bullpen and shoved the three of them into chairs before joining all of the others in the conference room.

The room was completely glass and the blinds were open so everyone had seen him come in with the kids in tow. His lateness was remarked upon but then passed over since he had obviously had a reason since he had showed up with three kids in handcuffs.

Commissioner General Nam and Prosecutor General Butler had gotten permission from the president to form this new task force comprised of both Prosecutors and Cops to solve highly suspicious crimes and bring to justice those who have done wrong no matter their station. The would answer only to the two of them and the two of them would report directly to the president themselves.

The Special Crimes Division would be given hand picked assignments as well as being able to pick cases as a team. The SCD would be comprised of two teams led by Prosecutors Min Tae Yeon and Levi Rivaille. Both would be in command of both prosecutors and cops so that the cases could be solved with the utmost efficiency. Both teams will work together if there is only one case. Only when they have multiple cases open will the teams work separately.

They were still short on personnel but Prosecutor General assured them that she was searching out the most qualified candidates to join them since they would be handling cases from all over the country. They would definitely need more hands on deck. She also offered to allow them to make recommendations for any of the work.

Once the meeting was over he pulled Alexander over to the side to speak with him about the three kids. They spoke quietly for a long moment but when he brought up the fact that both Ria and Iris were involved he could tell that Alexander was livid. His eyes got cold and the air around him got even colder. Taking his phone Alexander flipped through the photos that had been taken of the amount of damage they had caused.

“I’ll find out what they were doing. Which one is in charge? He’ll know more than the other two.” Alexander’s voice was ice cold and sharp as a blade.

“Jackass in the hoodie and shorts.” Lucy said nodding to the one on the far end who the other two were taking cues from and keeping their mouths shut now that they were in the station.

Once the words had left his mouth Alexander had left his side and strode over to the one he had pointed out with purpose. He pulled him to his feet and drug him off down the hall. The kid was cursing at him and calling him all sorts of names as he was being drug off to parts unknown.

Lucy on the other hand dropped down at the desk he had the other two assholes sitting at and decided to make this desk his.

“Names?” He said getting down to business and taking their statements.
