Levi can't deny that he feels a tug of attraction towards Erwin.
Well, scratch that. It's more like a massive fucking wrench of lust towards Erwin.
And Levi would do almost anything to rake his fingernails over his abs, his biceps, his shoulders, his back, his neck – fuck, his neck – or any inch of his skin. He would reach out and mess up Erwin's neatly put together blonde hair. Tug on it hard until Erwin was chanting his name over and over again. His tall height would fit so perfectly with his own body, he can just imagine Erwin spooning his from behind and it is glorious.
Thinking about Erwin putting him in compromising positions is also Levi's favourite late night past time. They'd do it against the wall, on Erwin's desk, in the stables, out in the yard, in the mess hall, in the communal bathroom… The list goes on and on.
And God does Levi want it. He wants it so bad, like an addiction that has festered in his bloodstream. He's a junkie and Erwin is his drug.
The only problem is that Erwin Smith is an Alpha, and Levi doesn't do Alphas.
Furthermore, he's pretty sure that Erwin has no interest in bedding an Omega, let alone Levi of all people. Hell, to add insult to the injury the man is probably only into girls anyway (although it isn't uncommon for straight men to fuck a male omega every once in a while).
Erwin, while being extremely ruthless and brutal when it comes to fighting titans, is an honourable man, and no honourable man would dare to fuck another in the ways that Levi has fantasised. Pursuing Erwin would only be a let down and a waste of time.
Why risk breaking the vast amounts of trust that he and Erwin have built over the years? It's just a fantasy. Nothing more, nothing less
So Levi keeps his massive fucking wrench of lust towards Erwin confined to his own bedroom in private. He's paraded as Humanity's Strongest, despite the fact that he's an Omega, and Levi takes great pride in that. It confirms what he's been desperate to confirm his entire life; Omegas can be just as strong, if not stronger, than Alphas.
He soon becomes Erwin's right hand man, swearing to follow him until their eventual deaths. Together, they fight titans and watch on as their comrades die one by one. It isn't soon until Commander Shadis can't take it anymore and somebody has to fill the top job. With Levi's superior skill on the battlefield and Erwin's magnificent, cunning mind, they manage to achieve the highest-ranking positions within the Corps.
And that's when it happens.
"No, you're doing it all wrong," Levi growls at the newest batch of recruits. They're a bunch of incompetent fools, really. "You're supposed to be in sync with one another. You need to lash at the titan at the same time so it doesn't know what's going on. There's no use in one person going in blindly without the other because you'll just get eaten before your blade even reaches flesh!"
If only Erwin was here, Levi thinks bitterly. They would perform this manoeuvre all the time outside the walls when fighting titans. In theory, it shouldn't have worked, because their bodies are so out of proportion to one another that they were bound to be out of sync. However, Levi's inhumane speed usually made up for the fast propulsion of Erwin muscular body, and they'd kill titans together with ease.
And just like that, as if Erwin knew Levi was thinking about him, he appears out of nowhere, 3DMG gear hooked up and ready to go.
How the hell does he manage to do that?
"Need a hand, Levi?" Erwin asks while the recruits all salute their Commander stiffly.
"Yes, in fact, I do." Levi says while he quickly checks that every strap on his 3DMG is in place. "Teaching these brats how to do synchronised manoeuvres is such a pain. Good thing you're here, I need a partner."
"I thought I was your partner," Erwin says with a hint of sparkle in his voice. Levi knows he only teasing him, and usually he wouldn't mind, but right now they're in front all these recruits and he can't let Erwin's charm get to him for even a second.
"Shut up and get ready." Levi states, probably a bit too angrily, and pulls out his blades.
The cut out titans are reset and they both position themselves in their typical starting stance.
"Left," Erwin calls.
"Right," Levi replies.
And just like that, they shoot off into the sky, soaring around in a loop and lunging down at the same time to take out the imaginary titan's arms with ease.
"Mine," Levi calls out, hooking into a nearby tree to swing himself around and up. He takes out the titan's weak spot easily despite the awkward position, spinning several times in the air.
"Next one to the right!" Erwin yells while Levi works quickly to catch up with him.
"Left," Levi calls out.
"Right," Erwin replies.
They take out the cut out titan exactly the same way. Levi can hear the recruits praise their skills, and he can't help but smirk.
They repeat the process until they reach the fourth cut out titan. Or to be more precise, until they don't reach the fourth cut out titan.
Usually the cut out titans stay upright, even when their blades hit the wood at a brutal speed. Except the fourth one falls over before Levi and Erwin even get close to it, causing them both to desperately unhook their anchors so they can hook into a safer area.
Except there is no other safe area, and instead they both crash into each other at full speed, dropping to the ground in a heap.
Levi can hear the gasps from the recruits before he can feel the impact. He braces for the worst, and yet, the worst doesn't come. Yeah, the thud of landing on the ground creates a deep ache in his hip, but everything else seems fairly unscathed...
Levi lays stunned for a second before sinking back into reality. He can't see a thing, his face shielded in Erwin's chest, but he can feel Erwin's arms wrapped around his head and his stomach protectively.
Erwin shielded him from the fall.
And then, Erwin has him turned over and pinned to the ground. Levi feels his breath catch in his chest as Erwin stares down at his body in an almost animal-like prowess. He can feel the wetness grow between his thighs at the action. Erwin is radiating pure dominance at the moment, and Levi doesn't have the self-restraint or will power to fight it. He lies limp on the ground, letting Erwin inspect his body possessively.
"Are you okay?" Erwin finally says, voice low and dangerous, much unlike his usual persona.
"Yes," Levi murmurs softly, unsure of what to do. Should he run away? Levi's mind tells him that he should, because Erwin is an Alpha and an Alpha will only hurt him in the end, but his instincts make him weak, and his heart tells him he should stay.
Erwin isn't like other Alphas, right? Erwin would never hurt him; in fact, his actions at this very moment prove otherwise. Despite having Levi in such a vulnerable and submissive position, Erwin's scent isn't pungent with lust. It's full of anger, concern and desperation, like an animal whose mate has been hurt.
Mate.
Levi shudders.
"I-" Erwin starts, but his voice cracks before he can get a word in. "I have you. You're alright."
Erwin's words were probably more for his own sake rather than Levi's.
"I know," Levi replies softly.
Erwin reluctantly lets Levi go, shakily standing up and onto his feet. He holds out a hand for Levi to grab onto so he can also get pulled onto his feet. Levi gratefully accepts it, but only makes it halfway before his legs give out with weakness.
Levi braces himself for impact with the floor, but instead finds himself wrapped up in Erwin's arms again.
His scent is absolutely furious with rage now.
"You're all dismissed!" Erwin yells angrily at the recruits.
"Hey!" Levi mumbles, weakly pushing himself away from Erwin's arms. "Let me go, I can stand on my own."
"Hurt. You're hurt." Erwin says bluntly. "I'm taking you to the medic."
"I don't need to go to the medic," Levi replies.
"You couldn't stand,"
"That's because…" Levi mumbles, an embarrassed blush forming on his cheeks. "That's not because I'm hurt…"
"What? But then…?" Erwin asks, stopping midway before realising what Levi means.
It's not uncommon for Omega's to become weak when they're turned on, but this is just downright cringey. Admitting to Erwin - his Commander - that he can't stand because he's too turned on? It's what trashy, cliché women's magazines are made of.
Levi bites his lip to keep himself from saying anything else. Maybe burying his face in Erwin's chest isn't a bad idea after all.
"Hey," Erwin murmurs, "Don't be embarrassed, it's just the scent. I didn't even realise that I was giving it off until now."
Levi nods, but he knows it's more than that. It's much more than just Erwin's Alpha scent or his Omegan instincts. He's been attracted Erwin from day one. Even if Erwin were a Beta, he'd still be feeling this way.
"Do you… Do you want me to keep carrying you?" Erwin asks, his voice calmer, composed and much more like it usually is. He's calmed himself down and stepped away from his animal instincts.
But Levi hasn't. Instead, it's just getting worse. He keeps trembling, and fuck, he can feel the slick from his asshole soak through his pants. "I don't-," Levi shudders, "Erwin, I can't…"
"It's okay," Erwin says, clutching to Levi's body. But fuck, that just makes Levi moan. "I have you."
"I'm… sorry…" Levi manages, body pliant in Erwin's arms. He's has never felt so weak in his life. Well, except for…
Fuck.
His heat. He's been taking suppressants everyday, exactly like he has since his first heat at 14, but sometimes they don't always work. It usually happens when he's gone for a long time without a heat, and something triggers him to have one despite the suppressants. In this case, he hasn't had a heat since before he joined the Survey Corps, and Erwin's Alpha scent has triggered him into it.
He desperately tries to rein in his scent, but he has completely lost control of his pheromones. If it was anybody else holding him, touching him, he might have been able to keep himself together for long enough to get the fuck away. But instead, he's with Erwin, the one person - besides Hanji - that he can trust. There's no way to suppress his scent now
It also hurts. His low abdomen is cramping, his dick is painfully hard and his pants are absolutely ruined. There's an ache, a deep ache, for someone or something to fill him up. He can feel his consciousness slipping, like he's about to be dragged over the abyss and nothing can be done to stop it. It has infiltrated his blood stream now, and there's no going back.
"Shhhh," Erwin whispers. "We're almost at your room."
Levi reluctantly lifts his head from Erwin's chest, and it's true, they are almost at his room. He hadn't even noticed that they'd left the field.
They make their way inside Levi's room and Erwin carefully places him down on his bed. Erwin moves to let go of his body, but Levi's hand are still firmly implanted in Erwin's uniform.
"Levi," Erwin chokes out, "You have to let go of me."
He's clearly struggling with his self control.
Levi moans and reluctantly releases his grip in Erwin's shirt. But as soon as Erwin moves away, he's writhing and gasping with the excruciating pain he's grown to associate with heats. "No! No… Alpha, please…" Levi doesn't even know what he's saying anymore. "Please…"
Levi can hear loud growl, and in seconds, Erwin is on top of him, body pressed up against his own, mouth hovering over the scent gland in his neck.
The pain dissipates briefly.
"Levi," Erwin growls. "I can't keep it together… I- You smell too good… You need to tell me what you want, otherwise… I don't want to hurt you…"
The words spin around in Levi's mind. Is Erwin really attracted to him? Is he really offering to be with him? Is this even real? Levi only wishes that his heat would subside enough to let him think this out… But there's no time. Every inch of his body feels like it's going to overheat, and he needs to do something about it.
"My clothes," Levi gasps, "My clothes… Take them off… Please Erwin, I need you…"
"Are you sure?" Erwin asks with a ravenous look in his eyes. "I need to make sure you're consenting… Levi…"
God, he's even asking for consent. What has Levi ever done to deserve Erwin?
"Yes, yes I consent!" Levi almost yells. "Just don't knot me, I'm not on birth control."
Erwin buries his face in Levi's neck. "Of course," he murmurs, quickly licking and sucking at Levi's scent gland.
Levi bucks his hips up to meet Erwin's, and before too long Erwin is bucking down as well to meet Levi's hips halfway. The sensation is addictive, and along with Erwin's scent, he gets lost in it easy. He knows he's making embarrassing noises, but he's too far gone too care.
Suddenly his clothes are ripped off and he's laid bare in front of Erwin, whose wandering hands make Levi shiver. "So beautiful," Erwin whispers before biting down on the junction between Levi's shoulder and neck.
Biting scent glands is usually reserved for mates only, and Erwin makes sure to stay away from that area, but that doesn't stop Levi wishing that he didn't.
"Mine," Erwin says, leaving Levi's neck to look into his eyes. Just that simple word is so erotic, that Levi can feel the slick creep slowly out of his asshole.
"Yours," Levi replies breathlessly, "Erwin… I've always been yours…"
They kiss hot and heavy, tongues dancing around each other briefly before Erwin's wins out and claims Levi's mouth. And Levi can't do anything but lie there and let Erwin take what he wants.
Levi's abdomen cramps up and he can feel his heat peak once again as every inch of his skin craves Erwin. "Need you," Levi whimpers, "Now… Now, please…"
"Shhh," Erwin whispers once again, "I've got you."
Levi nods shakily but groans in discomfort. The preparation is rushed and desperate. Erwin's fingers are nowhere near big enough to make Levi content, and it just ends in Levi begging for Erwin to fuck him.
"Erwin, please… Please… I- I need it… I need your dick… Fuck me, c'mon… Alpha, please…"
Levi's breath hitches as Erwin lines his dick up to his asshole and oh God, he is so close, just a few more inches and his big thick dick will finally be inside of him and it feels so good.
"Are you sure?" Erwin asks.
"Yes," Levi gasps, "Now, Erwin, please."
Erwin's hips buck up and Levi arches his back, head thrown into a silent scream.
"Fuck, Levi," Erwin moans, bucking up again, "So tight, so hot, so mine."
Levi hands make their way to Erwin's back as he clings to him desperately. "Yes… Yes, Alpha…" Levi manages before returning back to his breathy moans.
Erwin starts a slow pace, savouring the way that his dick drags in and out of Levi's asshole, but snaps after a few minutes and starts rocking into Levi at full force.
Levi screams, because it's almost too much. Erwin's dick, Erwin's mouth, Erwin's scent, Erwin's body; Erwin's everything. In that moment, Levi clings to it for dear life, nails deeply embedded in Erwin's skin.
It's almost too much, until it is too much, and he's falling over the edge with such force that he blacks out into a blissful sleep.
When Levi comes to, the first thing he feels is the relief of his heat being much less prominent than before. The first thing he notices, however, is that he's snug in Erwin's arms, who is also playing with his hair.
"Hey," Erwin says, free hand lifting up Levi's chin, "You okay?"
"Yeah," Levi replies almost automatically. It's almost weird just how okay he feels.
And then he feels the stickiness in between their stomachs and he can't help but wonder… "Yours or mine?" Levi asks, still inspecting the stickiness.
"Both," Erwin replies with a smirk.
"Ugh, disgusting,"
"Do you want me to clean it up?"
Levi thinks about the offer, before shaking his head. "No… I- I kinda like it…"
Erwin chuckles and Levi can feel his cheeks burn up yet again, so he buries his face in Erwin's neck to shield it away.
And that's when the full smell of Erwin's scent gland hits his nose. He can't help but make his way over to the spot and tentatively give it a lick. It tastes amazing and it's not long until Levi is sucking on it in earnest.
"Levi," Erwin breathes in a content sigh.
In this moment, everything feels right.
"Do you think you could go tell Hanji that I accidentally had a heat? She can get me the medicine that will ease it… I haven't had one in a while, so it might be really painful."
"Right now?" Erwin asks, fully prepared to go forward and do what Levi asks, but hesitant to leave Levi alone.
Levi shakes his head. "I'll probably pass out again before the next heat wave." His limbs ache and everything is already feeling a bit fuzzy. "Maybe then?"
"Of course," Erwin says, tucking Levi's head under his chin. "Anything for you, Levi."
What exactly is this?
Why are you with me?
Why are you so different from the rest of them?
The questions swirl around in Levi's head, but he pushes them aside in favour of passing out again. Who knows how much of his heat he can spend in bliss like this? He might as well make the most of it and get some sleep.
After all, there's no way that Erwin will still be there when he wakes up.
