Eren weeps as the memories of Reiner flashes through his mind. The warmth of the bath was not enough to soothe Eren's distress. He hates this. He hates being powerless to the raven asshole, he hates having to pretend that he loved him, and he hates the memories that always haunts him. Eren's heart stops as he hears the door to the basement open. If Levi ever brings you close to death, then I'm getting the authorities. Eren remembers what Kevin had promised. What if he brings e to the point I want to commit suicide? Eren covers himself in the bubbles, hoping if Levi doesn't see his naked body then he won't want to do it like usual.
Levi knocks on the door.
"Mon Amour? are you in there?" Levi calls, although he spoke in a gentle tone, Eren can feel goosebumps cover his body along with a chill.
"Yeah. I'm taking a bath right now. I'll be out in awhile." Eren hopes that the alpha will see this as a natural need to be isolated for a bit and relax,and not be provoked. At least he wasn't angry when he unlocked the door.
"Eren?" Levi asks, closing the door behind him. Eren sinks his face a bit deeper into the bubbles.
"Oh Eren you know not to hide from me~" seeing his eyes soften did nothing to calm his omega instincts or himself. Levi approaches Eren, making him start to shiver. Oh god no! please not again!

Eren didn't come to school Monday. Nor Tuesday. People began worrying about him. The student council would ask Eren's friends if he knew how he was doing. Mr, Smith was a bit more distressed, and Eren's friends were even more distraught. When Eren came to school on Wednesday he didn't speak to anyone, still wearing the jacket Reiner gave him. Everyone gave him looks of pity to which Eren would snarl at them. Eren didn't even hangout with his friends anymore. He would hide in the storage closet. Levi actually felt bad for doing this to Eren. It wasn't until Ymir finally forced him to open up did he get better. With Reiner gone, Ymir took the place of being overprotective alpha since Bertolt was a pussy. Eventually with the comfort of his remaining friends, as well as a lot of counseling by Mr, Smith and the Councilor, By the end of the week, Eren was able to smile.

Levi had originally thought he was done. There couldn't be any other rivals. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

(Preview of next rival)
"Thanks for coming over. I can't help but feel lonely now that Reiner is gone. It really means a lot to me Eren."
"Sure, no problem! My parents aren't home anyways, they're on a trip for 3 days to help out my aunt. So I didn't want to be alone by myself tonight!"
