Srsly the idea and inspiration came from AU with jeaneren and then THIS BEAUTIFUL PERSON - came up with the ereri mode and I was like SHIP ALERT *aggresively types* so tis thing came out and its going to be chapters and chapters until the end of the movie. It´s not COMPLETELY different. I got the lines and everything but it is NOT the movie just an AU so don´t expect it to go the same~ hehe here goes nothing...
Levi´s life wasn´t so good at all. Especially since what he did wasn´t so exciting for him as it was for everyone else. He was bored and kind of distracted when he was in the small arena, ´slashing´ dragons with his fellow trainees. As long as he knew, he didn´t think dragons were that bad at all, not even after they almost destroyed Berk, his place of living.
When he was crowned the best dragon ´slayer´, he was admired by almost everyone and feared by some. When he went to sharpen his axe or buy food, he was pointed at by little children like he was a hero of some kind. "There goes corporal Levi" they said as he passed, with wide eyes and open mouths. "Some say he can kill a dragon just by staring at it" they murmured between each other, and he chuckled at the stupidity of those little children.
Other´s would keep their distance, murmuring in low voices and shooting angry glares; and some close their windows and door like he was a serial killer or something. Levi this and Levi that. He could punch all of them in the face but that wouldn´t improve his shitty reputation.
He kept walking as he went down to Hanji´s workshop, where she worked with Erwin. They were one of the few he could call friends, but even that didn´t make them less irritating. They drove him nuts sometimes: Hanji with her questions on how the dragons looked and how he killed them and Erwin with his stupid grins and horrible disgusting eyebrows who were always teasing him about how they called him "Levi the Dragon Slayer" or "Corporal Levi" like the elite.
And it was ironic. All those titles and gossips about how fast he could kill a dragon. Because he really didn´t kill the dragons he encountered. Levi just left them very very injured, and they wouldn´t move, so people would think it was dead. Of course, sometimes he had to cut a leg or the tail, but that was it. He never completely finished them. He didn´t know if it was because he admired them or because he just wasn´t a killer, like people said he was. He envied their ability to fly and blow fire, and maybe that´s why he hurt them so badly in the first place. It was boring and a little tiresome.
But he still didn´t like it.
So, there he was. An almost-normal 21 year old guy walking down the street to do something so simple as sharpening his axe; but, as always, he would hear all the gossips and rumors. "He doesn´t only kill dragons" he heard a lot. "He eats their meat when he kills them" "Dragons can´t hurt him" "His height is consequence to his strength" and shit like that. He wondered where the fuck they invented something like that as he got to the workshop where Erwin was sharpening a sword.
"Hey, Levi´s here" he called back to the basement where Hanji was working as soon as he saw him.
"Ohh!" he heard he exclaim as she appeared with her face in a stupid smirk and her goggles hanging on her neck. Her hands were black with probably charcoal form her work (she was the one that wrote the books with information on the dragons and drew them and basically everything) and when she brought her hands to her face to wipe some sweat they were tinted black.
She almost run towards him and took the axe (she also wrote and knew everything about weapons like Erwin who made them) and pointed it at him. "Oi! I´m going to kill you. Raf Raf Raf" she made a poor imitation of Levi´s angry face, which was his every face and laughed to herself.
"I don´t even talk like that" he said walking towards Erwin where at least he wouldn´t make fun of him in some way. "And your face is dirty. Don´t even dare touch me with those filthy hands or I´ll fucking kill you" he said as Hanji went in for a hug.
"Stop the grumpiness" Erwin laughed, showing him the sword he was forging. "This one´s for Pixis, try it out"
Levi took the giant sword in his hands and gave it a small swing. "It´s ridiculously big for me and you know it" Levi said sighing. "But the sharp is good and if it was smaller I´d probably kill you with it"
"That´d be an honor" he mocked as he took the sword again. "Hanji!" he called, waving her over.
Hanji walked excitedly, like everything she does, towards them and traced the axe´s borders. "God, Levi. This thing is deadly blunt. What have you been doing with it? Chopping trees?"
"They must be some big ass trees" Erwin laughed as he took the axe and put the edge to the turning stone as it blew sparks.
"I was practicing" Levi says simply. "Yes, with some big ass fucking trees. They´re hard as hell. And after some time I can finally pierce them with this gorgeous" he saw tapping the hilt of the axe.
"She´s my pride and joy" Erwin says. "Best axe I´ve made in a long time"
"Sure it is" Hanji says leaning close to the sparks. "He worked on it for like two weeks"
"It was a bet he had to pay" Levi smirks. "Dumbass couldn´t beat me in simply wrestling"
"In my defense. You´re very heavy for someone so short"
"It´s pure muscle since Pixis put me in the arena" he says simply, shrugging a bit. "What can I say?"
"Oh!" Hanji suddenly says behind him. "I forgot to tell you Levi. Pixis was asking for you yesterday night. Said," she makes a poor imitation of his angry face. "´That Levi guy is never home. He should be more careful especially at night. Where´s he? Fricking some lady. Argh Argh Argh Argh"
Levi let out a chuckle. " he doesn´t know I go the other way. That bastard would have no respect for me" Erwin laughs.
"Yeah. It´s something people just know. You should go anyways" Hanji says. "He didn´t look to happy"
Levi takes his axe back. "Fine. See you idiots later" and with that he leaves.
When he arrives at Pixis place he lets himself in and finds him where he calls his office. Which is just a table on his living room. "I was looking for you yesterday" he says in that philosophical voice he has always, smiling up at him.
"I was practicing with my axe" he says simply, raising it for him to see. "Just got her sharpened. Fucking big ass trees are way too hard to penetrate"
"Language" Pixis says seriously, and Levi huffs. "Anyways. I was looking for you because I want an explanation to this" He takes something off his drawer and puts it on the table. It´s a big sharp white tooth from a Monstrous Nightmare with the edge a little cracked. "I remember seeing that on the mouth of the Monstrous Nightmare you ´killed´" he says adding invisible speech bubbles. "A week ago"
"So?"
Pixis sighs. "Levi. This was found on leg of a sheep last night. I got there right before he took her. And I was surprised to see this tooth"
Levi stays silent as he realizes that Pixis found out he hadn´t really killed the dragon. He rolls his eyes. "If you´re going to lecture me because I let it slip then-"
"You do not let slip a dragon which you were supposed to kill" Pixis says seriously, almost rising off his chair as Levi stares silently at him.
"You´re kicking me out?" He asks bored.
"No, no. I´m not that of an imbecile to kick out our finest slayer" he chuckles without emotion at all. "But I need prove you´ll kill them from now on"
When Pixis stays silent Levi speaks up "What do you mean? I´m not a fucking know it all so spit it out"
"Language" Levi huffs again. "I have a task for you. And given your abilities it shouldn´t be that difficult"
"What dragon?"
"Night Fury"
Levi swallows a little. He knows it´s not that difficult, but he also knows that Pixis´ wife was killed by a Night Fury. It´s the only dragon that has never been killed and or written of. Hanji drools for a single scale and every dragon trainee´s biggest wish is to kill one. Because the dragons in the ´Book of All´ are ordered from the less dangerous, to the most deadly.
And Night Fury is on the last page.
"When?"
"You start tomorrow" his jaw is clenched shut and he speaks through his teeth. "But you will shoot it down tonight"
"Fine" Pixis waves him away. "I´m anxious"
"Good" Pixis nods sharply. "Because I want you to bring me it´s heart"
After an hour he finds himself on the top of the nearest hill with a machine Hanji made that shoots net´s. He´s watching the night sky intently, full of shining stars. Levi has been sitting there for almost an hour, but he knows it´s just a matter of time before it appears so he waits.
When two hours have passed, he spots a shadow among the starts and follow it with the aim precisely, counting under his breath until he finally shoots. After a few seconds he hears a loud groan from the dragon as it falls right down to the forest of the big ass trees and Levi sighs. At least he doesn´t have to search for it tonight, because he´s sure it´s going to be a long walk to find it.
The next day Levi is walking down the same path he walked yesterday with his gorgeous axe in one hand and a small notebook in the other. He hears whispers all around him as he walks down the path. And Levi´s sure as hell Pixis, that little fuck, announced it on the morning before he was even awake.
When he´s almost at the end of the path where the signs pointing to the forest are he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns a little angry, about to ask who dares touch him when he sees a woman with brown hair and brown worried eyes. She has a lose ponytail that hangs on her shoulders and she apologizes quickly.
"I´m sorry" she says and Levi can tell she´s been crying for the puffy red eyes. "My name´s Carla Jaeger" She shakes his hand "I heard you were going to hunt down the Night Fury, into the forest right?"
Levi can hear the hidden anxiety on her voice and chooses to be polite. "Yes. I´m heading there now"
"Well, I know it´s selfish" she says politely hanging her head a little. "But my son. He went missing 2 months ago, after my husband told him about how he was going to train to be a dragon slayer" Levi nods for her to go on. "I think he went into the forest. So I was wondering if you could look if there were any footprints or…or anything. He really is fascinated by dragons, and I´m afraid he will do something stupid like approach one"
"Don´t worry" Levi says, nodding. "I´ll tell you if I see anything. Maybe even look for him"
She nods, a small tear dropping down her cheek. She quickly swipes it away. "Thank you so much" she shakes his hand again. "He´s name´s Eren. He´s tall, brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing white arm bandages, like yours; a-a brown leather vest and black high fur boots"
"Sure" Levi nodded again. "I´ll watch out for him"
"Thank you so much" Carla said again nodding and letting tears fall again. "Nobody´s been as brave as you to go into the forest, so thank you again"
"Any time" he says, smiling just a tiny bit, and goes back to entering the big forest.
