Author's Note: I first published this on Archive of Our Own under the name TitanOr and I always will update there first and then here. This is a Levi/Eren/Erwin fic with Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics. I love feedback and if you're interested in contacting me on here or on my tumblr (jeevasorriver) feel free to do so :) This is my first time posting on so any tips will really help out. I hope y'all enjoy!


Chapter 1- First Meeting

He often saw them as he came into the store. Since the first time he caught sight of them, his eyes couldn't help but wander to the area where they sat, quietly conversing to themselves. The blond man who easily towered over his dark haired friend and over Eren himself probably. His features- the thick brow resting just over calm blue eyes, the chiseled angles of his face as though he had been sculpted by a Greek artist, his intimidating frame that promised power- a sharp contrast to the man who always accompanied him. Said man who sat across from him, black hair styled in an undercut, parted though not down the middle, a discontented look graced him and keen, grey eyes giving nothing away. Though his build was much smaller, it no less radiated authority just as his companion. Truly, they seemed worthy of the alpha title.

Today was no different as he walked in, the door's bell jingling behind him as he walked up to where the blond cashier stood, a dull expression on her face. Annie was her name. Eren often met up with her whenever they were both free in order to practice. She was a skilled martial artist and the only one besides his sister who could meet him blow for blow. He winced slightly remembering the bruises he had all over his torso that had remained from their last session and were slowly turning into light shades of purple and yellow.

"Annie."

"Eren."

No further greetings were exchanged nor needed. Eren placed his order of the iced green tea he had grown quite attached to, and allowed himself a glance in the direction of the two men only to find that they weren't seated there. Strange, not once since he had started visiting the small coffee shop had they not been there. Choosing not to dwell on it further he waited as Annie finished up his order and only briefly hesitated before heading towards their usual booth and sitting down.

He didn't know why he had planted himself there, but he figured since they hadn't shown up yet it wouldn't matter, might as well get some of his own work done, Eren mused to himself, pulling out his tablet as he started working on the assignment for his digital art class. He was a 19 year old college student who had yet to declare his major. Honestly, he couldn't see himself becoming a doctor like his esteemed father; he leaned more towards the arts. He loved the feel of charcoal on paper, paint on a canvas, drawing till his hand cramped up, seeing his writing, his words, he made sure to make them his own and having people feel because of him, because of his art. He grinned to himself. Yes, he loved it and he certainly wouldn't be giving it up anytime soon just to please his father- not that his dad would even think of it, knowing his headstrong son would never listen to him.

He became so absorbed in his work that he did not notice the two figures who had seated themselves right across from him, one with an amused expression leaning forward with one hand underneath his chin, the other pulling out his laptop and laying it down in front of him completely disinterested. It wasn't until the oldest of the two cleared his throat, startling the young man out of his project that he had been so diligently working on up until that point, that Eren realized he had company.

"Hi there." Erwin said with a smile.

"Hello." Eren responded back cautiously.

"Do you mind if we sit here? All the other tables are full and this is actually where we usually sit so it wouldn't be much of a bother if we stayed, right?"

It was phrased as a question but Eren could hear the underlying command in the statement. He shivered, his assumption before having been correct; alphas indeed.

"Yeah, it's no problem at all." he said, offering up a smile of his own as a demonstration that while they may exude all the alpha tendencies- intimidation, power, authority- it didn't mean he would bow his head to them in return.

Eren often encountered this issue, alphas thinking they could push him around simply because he was at the bottom of the pack. His omega status causing others to bully him, try to control him. He wasn't having any of that. Eren knew the qualities that omegas were supposed to be made of; he had the talk before. Teachers, peers, sometimes even his own friends had tried to talk to him about his attitude and refusal to cower in the presence of other alphas and even some betas.

But Eren didn't see what the issue was. Yes, omegas had the highest fertility rate and often submitted under alpha or beta rule but it didn't mean they had to. The relationship between them was supposed to be one of equal status. However, over the years there had been more and more cases of alphas attempting to assert their dominance over their omegas in an unhealthy fashion and even those who were not their own. Some attested it to the surge of alphas; less and less betas were being born and even fewer omegas. Alphas felt the need to claim them, that mindset of theirs is where the problems started to arise. Omegas began to be seen as prizes, not partners. Sexual objects there on their alpha's or beta's whim.

Not all alphas or betas were like that Eren knew, but he had met quite a few that had turned him away from ever taking one. Still, Eren thought, it doesn't mean they have to go and act like macho dicks. He snickered to himself, dicks on steroids; they probably lift weights too. The image of a penis winking at him as it lifted a barbell appeared in his mind and he had to slap a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing out loud. He hated the whole alpha/beta/omega thing. He thought it was absolutely ridiculous.

A deep voice interrupted him out of his reverie.

"May I ask what's so funny?"

He looked at the man before him and then at the man at his side who seemed to be working away on his computer like a madman. He shook his head.

"Nothing, I was just daydreaming."

The man nodded and gave him a grin. Honestly, his smile really was a panty dropper. Good thing Eren wore boxers.

"It would seem you do that a lot…" The man looked at him, imploring his name. "Ah, I've yet to introduce myself." He reached his hand across to Eren. "Erwin Smith."

Eren took his hand and shook it once before retracting his own. " Eren Yeager."

"Eren..." Erwin said his name as though he was testing it out, to see if he liked the feel of it on his tongue. He then gestured to the shorter man at his side. "This is Levi Ackerman, we both work together at the same publishing company."

Eren spared a glance to Levi to find him already staring at him. His gaze really was something, it seemed as if it was looking through him. Eren felt a blush slowly creeping up his neck as he kept his eyes steadily on Levi.

The man nodded his own greeting at Eren and looked to Erwin. "Not bad."

Erwin smirked.

An uneasiness rose in Eren. He did not like the silent communication going on between them. His mother warned him one too many times to be wary of any suspicious characters and these guys were alphas albeit two very attractive alphas. Eren sighed.

"So Eren," He turned his attention back to Erwin. "What exactly are you working on there that had you so wrapped up not to notice Levi and I here?"

Wow, this dude really was an Adonis. His smile was something you saw in those toothpaste commercials. All bright and sparkles, perfectly lined. It left Eren feeling a bit dazed.

"Well, um, it's just a project for one of my classes." Was that really his own voice? Why did it sound so husky? He really couldn't gather what was going on and it seemed these two guys knew exactly what was happening to him if the look in Erwin's eyes was any indication. That or the amused look that had crossed Levi's features. At least he thought he looked amused; Eren couldn't really read the man's expressions yet.

It was Levi who broke him out of his admiration.

"Are you an art major?" he asked, glancing down at the tablet Eren had left lying on the table.

"Actually, I'm undeclared at the moment. I just really don't know what I want to do." He said shrugging.

"Well, you've got talent, kid. That is for a snot nosed brat."

Eren felt the heat rising to his cheeks at the half compliment.

"Says the frigid old man. I didn't know they let senior citizens stay out so late past curfew. I'm amazed someone from the home hasn't busted through the door yet to drag you back."

Levi looked at him as though he'd grown a second head and then quickly recovered covering his shock over Eren's comment.

They spent the next few hours like that, asking Eren about his art, where he went to school, discussing the publishing house the two worked at, and dishing snide remarks back and forth. Levi looked impressed; the brat gave as good as he got. Erwin even joined in at some point laughing heartily at Levi's and Eren's antics. Eren was greatly enjoying their presence. Most alphas and even betas he had met wouldn't have spared him any time, only to try to assert their dominance over him. He liked that they listened to him and he liked watching how the two of them interacted with each other. The friendship clear between them even if Levi would make disgusted expressions at something Erwin did and Erwin would seem exasperated at Levi's crude language. It was at the end of a particular joke, the one that had been on Eren's mind since the beginning that left Eren trying to keep from choking on laughter and Levi trying to stifle his. Eren had just finished the part with the weights and the winking when Erwin spoke up, eyes twinkling with mirth.

"So Eren," Erwin began, "You come here almost everyday and it's taken you this long to finally gather up the courage to make contact with Levi and me."

Eren's face flushed with surprise. He started sputtering, "What are you-"

Levi cut him off in that deep baritone of his though not as deep as Erwin's. "You can cut the crap, you think we haven't noticed you making eyes at us every single time you come in here?" Levi paused and stared at Eren, lips curling up in a devilish smile. "Seems to me like you spent enough time coming up with jokes about our dicks. That something you think about often? So which one of us is it? You're not a bad looking kid and neither of us really mind, so choose, is it Erwin or me?"

Eren could only stare at them in shock. Were these guys serious? He had plenty of alpha friends so he knew that confidence was just one of those traits that they seemed to inherit but these guys were on a whole different level. Even their dicks lift weights, what do you expect? That little voice that often got him into trouble whispered. Eren could only stare at them in utter mortification.

"I think you stunned the little omega a bit too much, Levi."

"Che, it needed to be said otherwise we'll never get anywhere. Three weeks we've been coming to this shithole and the kid finally makes a move and you think I'm just gonna wait till his head finally catches up to where his dick's been going?"

Eren felt that bubble of anger that always seemed present inside of him ready to burst. It was the same anger he felt that always seemed to emerge whenever he received those patronizing talks from other omegas, betas, or alphas. You'll never find a mate if you keep acting that way, Eren. No one wants an omega who doesn't know how to submit.

He was so tired of the same bullshit. He didn't care if he never found a mate. Who wanted a weak alpha? If they couldn't handle him, then they weren't worthy of the title alpha anyway.

He was exhausted with society's ideals. He hated that these guys just assumed he would bend over and shove his ass down on their dicks. He was so angry that he didn't realize that Erwin and Levi had stopped talking, opting to watch as he started shaking and trembling.

"Hey brat-"

Eren snapped. He spoke in a hushed tone, words spilling forward, furious.

"Look, I don't know what you think this is or maybe you're thinking that since I'm an omega I'll just nod along to whatever it is you want but if you think I will, you got another thing coming. Have you guys ever thought that maybe, just maybe, that yeah I find you fucks attractive but that doesn't mean I want to automatically have sex with you? What is it with all you alphas and your self entitled bullshit? Seriously, not once has it crossed your minds that the world doesn't revolve around you and your dicks? No? Well, now it has so thanks but no thanks."

Eren had just finished gathering up his things as he finished his last statement, climbing out of the booth and not sparing a single last glare in their direction- huffing angrily as he made his way out the front door.

He spent the rest of the walk home trying to calm himself down. He didn't want his sister, Mikasa, to worry and he sure didn't want to have to explain to her his little incident. Mikasa was dangerous in any mood but her anger was not something he wished to unleash on anyone. Mikasa was an alpha and while he knew she could handle herself, he didn't need his sister to end up with charges filed against her.

He smiled to himself as he reached the door of their shared apartment and walked in. He had calmed down some and now had time to reflect properly. He opened the door to his small room and threw himself onto his bed. He cringed as he thought of his reaction earlier but really, he just couldn't stand the alpha/beta/omega dynamics anymore. He felt he was worth more than what his omega title made others believe he was worth. He had spent all his years trying to prove people wrong. He never backed down from arguments, constantly engaging in fights with anyone who dared provoke him. He held himself with pride, being an omega was certainly not something to be ashamed of. They were necessary for survival and reproduction but he wasn't going to let anyone walk over him either. He simply wished that his kind were treated with the respect that they very much deserved.

As Eren lay there, he thought back to Erwin and Levi, the two immensely attractive alphas. He hadn't meant to react so fiercely but their words had sparked back all those past experiences he had endured throughout high school and even during his first year in college. He groaned and rolled over onto his stomach. He would go back tomorrow and if he saw them then he would apologize. It wasn't their fault Eren had encountered all those past douchebags. They had seemed genuinely interested in Eren's work and had even listened to him rant about his art. Erwin with his suave demeanor and smooth talking. Levi's blunt jokes and appreciation for his work. They certainly weren't like the others. He was interested. Besides they had been right; Eren had been visiting the shop frequently in hopes of seeing them. He made up his mind then; he would go and talk to them again but he would make sure they would play by his rules. He'd show them exactly what an omega was made of. He grinned as he buried his face into his pillow. He'd show them all.
