26
Days passed and Tuesday came, Levi was already on the back of his new horse. Steadying the beast while Eren was getting ready with Titan.
Levi reached the horse's neck and started rubbing it, hoping the the beast won't get annoyed of waiting. The Omega named him Green Tea. Levi was able to came up with the name when they are preparing and packing ahead. They all lined up the bags near the door so it will be easy to move them. For some reasons, the beast was able to sniff the teas in Levi's bag, the horse took the open door as an apportunity, dragging the raven's bag and tearing the bag into shreds until he got the dry leaves, leaving nothing for Levi.
For some reasons, Levi can be mad at horse. Eren even joked that maybe the horse and Levi were a perfect match for they both like teas. Levi can't help but agree.
"That's right, petting them helps them relax." Isabelle instructed, before the moving date, the red haired Omega gave him ride lessons until Levi was able to climb Green Tea on his own (more or less) and manage to control the tall beast. Levi would give credit to the horse, Green Tea was very patient throughout the lessons, making it easy for Levi to learn the basics.
"Izzy, I can't thank you enough for everything you done to us," Levi smiled down at his friend. "In the near future, we'll visit again and maybe we can be neighbors."
"Really?!" Isabelle shreiked.
"Yes, Eren and I already talked about," Levi chuckled.
"This is amazing! I can't wait! And our children will be bestfriends!"
"Well..." Levi cringed. He really had a hard time explaining to everyone that he was not pregnant. Mikasa got it and kicked Eren in the stomach for the false news before she left the town. Eren being his stupid self, kept smiling like a douche and that didn't help because the raven Omega gave him an uppercut afterwards. Levi's combat improved that much in such a short time.
"Ready?" Eren trotted with Titan until he was now side by side with Levi.
"Yes," Levi nodded at Isabelle. "I guess this is not good bye yet?"
"How about see you soon?" Isabelle look up at him, her big green eyes started to tear up.
"Yeah."
"And we are off! Thanks a million guys!" Eren waved as he took the lead and Levi's horse followed suit.
"Safe travel guys!" Farlan waved at them as he draped an arm over Isabel's shoulder. The red hair Omega sniffed, leaning towards her Alpha as they watched Levi and Eren embark on their new journey.
Levi sighed for the sixth time, they were not even that far yet and the raven Omega was already feeling down. They planned to stop by the town for additional rations for the journey, just in case the weather turned bad or possibilities of critters eating their rations while they sleep.
Eren did mention to him before that the path they are taking had towns that were far apart, there was a high chance that they might set up camp for the night if they haven't reached any towns to stay in. Levi's fine with that but his Alpha knew exactly his worries, since it will be the raven's first time sleeping under the stars.
They reached the town and Eren jumped out of Titan effortlessly. Levi envied him for that, thinking that it's really unfair that Omegas had default small build and short in the height department.
Eren came to him with a smile. "Want me to help you?"
"And climb this beast again? No." Levi said sternly. He can't easily get on and off of Green Tea as much as he wanted with his short legs, if he will, he needs constant assistance. The idea of it was embarrassing especially they are in town where over a dozen people are around.
"Alright, wait here. I promise, I'll be quick!" True to his words, Eren dashed at the nearest store.
Levi chuckled, he can imagine Eren demanding the store clerk to hurry up. The raven was engross with his imaginations that he didn't noticed Erwin Smith approaching him in his horse.
"Mr. Yeager!"
Levi snapped his head towards the giant blonde, almost making Green Tea panic but the horse settled down after Titan nuzzled him.
"Mr. Smith!" Levi almost shouted. It's not like he was that scared of the blonde Alpha. He already accepted the fact that Erwin Smith will never be a problem to them but seriously, the blonde was giant! Plus, he was riding a horse! Making him taller than Levi in a horse combined.
"Please, call me Erwin. Mr. Smith is my father," The blonde laughed.
"Right, call me Levi then."
"I can see that you guys are leaving town," Erwin noted as he eyed the bags that was strapped on both of their horses.
"We are visiting Eren's mother and Isabelle needed the cottage because her brothers will be helping with farm." Levi explained, then he noticed that Erwin's horse had bags strapped on it too.
"Really? Where are you heading?"
"Ahhh..." Levi wanted to lie. Now he got a hint that Erwin will be travelling too and might join them, was a really bad idea but... What are the chances that Erwin will be visit the same town where Eren's mother lives... right? Who knows maybe Erwin was just being nice and striking the conversation.
"We are heading west, Eren mentioned the town but I forgot the name," Levi didn't lie about that one, he indeed forgot the name of the town.
"Really?! I'm heading west too!" Erwin cheered, showing off his prince like smile yet it didn't and never charmed Levi. Erwin kept smiling at him, expecting the raven to say something. Levi can feel the pressure.
"Wow," Levi filled in. "Though, I'm not really sure where we are going... And Eren is not here yet..." he looked back at the shop where his mate disappeared, silently praying that the clerk was slow.
"Well, I hope you familiar of the place I'm visiting. The said town had a huge entertainment house, I heard a lot from that place in the inn and decided to visit it." Erwin cheered.
Levi blinked. What Erwin described sounded like the 'entertainment house' where Eren grew up. But surely, there are other 'entertainment houses' in the west... right?
"Levi! I'm done!" Eren called out as he ran out of the shop with another bag of supplies on his hand. Only when he reached Titan he noticed Erwin Smith's presence. "Oh, good day." He greeted.
"Good day as well, I heard from your mate that you are travelling west. And I would like to ask both of you if it's alright if I join you? It's really lonely to travel alone, I hope a little company on the way sounds better."
Levi stared down at Eren, stormy-gray eyes locked at aqua green ones. It was a simple gesture but since Levi bonded with the outlaw, a simple stare transmits more words than the act of talking itself. The raven was practically screaming in the bond, asking his mate to decline the blonde Alpha. Yes, Erwin was not a threat anymore but travelling with him for a long span of time? Nope.
Eren frowned at him, telling the raven that declining was a bit rude and it will be very awkward since they are travelling in the same path.
Levi glared at him.
Eren glanced at the blonde who seemed to be waiting for their response. The Alpha returned to his mate, this time with a pout.
Levi's breath hitched. Thinking how dare Eren used that pouting face on him.
"Sure," Eren said, smiling at Erwin. "Of course, can you join us."
Levi gritting his teeth. This time, for sure. He will beat the shit of Eren fucking Yeager.
