"That's a very good idea Hange," Kenny nodded in agreement. "Less for work for all of us. Not entirely but less effort and energy on our part."
"We could set up everything!" Hange screamed over her excitement. "A homey house in a quiet neighborhood. I'll be Levi's next door best friend and you can just be his supportive uncle who lives next door as well!"
"With that layout, we can keep tabs and look out for Yeager's safety as well as his well-being. I like where this is going," Kenny went to his desk and rummage on his drawers. Pulling out a notebook and pen, he started scribbling. "We just need to play the part and Levi will gain his trust."
"Slowly but surely, Yeager will hop into memory lane!" Hange cheered.
"WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!" Levi exploded, grabbing the two's attention. Clenching his fist in a tight ball, he glared at his uncle and Hange. "I am not playing as this bastard's wife!"
"Come on Levi," Hange whined in frustration. "This is the only mission where we can sit back and relax but still get paid!"
"That's not the point here!" Levi growled.
"Suck it up, Levi," Kenny rolled his eyes at his nephew. "I mean, this is not the first time you play pretty-innocent Omega right?"
Levi froze and immediately his face grew warm at the reminder. There's a reason why the raven's team was small. There were only two people in Reckon that he truly trust and that's Hange and Kenny.
His uncle was right, this was not the first time that he pretended to be a perfect-sweet-innocent Omega and it was all shitty Hange's ideas.
Levi played roles- a stripper, caregiver, nursey teacher, and with his fucking height, a high schooler. Levi played those roles well but he hated them and only his uncle and Hange knew that he did those embarrassing things. Even the higher-ups didn't question why their report had a few missing details but silently they knew.
"Levi, Yeager is in a bad state right now with his injuries and amnesia. He could be scared out of his skin, alone and lost," Hange stated dramatically with a fake sob.
"He won't easily trust anyone at this rate but..." Kenny pointed his pen at his nephew. "If he had a wife and let's say- they are married for two years, he'll depend on his wife. He'll be leaning all his trust on you."
"But-"
"Levi, we agreed long ago that we'll take turns on planning out our missions," Hange raised her voice and lift her chin with authority. She rarely did it but if she does, no one can defy her. "And it's my turn to plan this one. I expect you to follow it."
Levi looked away from the crazy witch and clicked his tongue in annoyance. He knew that and he's aware that he could sometimes stepped in when his uncle or Hange planned out their mission. And if it was his turn to plan, he hissed at his uncle and friend if they intervened him.
"Another thing, who accepted this case again?" Hange mocked.
"Me, but-"
"-Now don't be such a spoilsport Levi," Kenny hummed as he continued with his scribbling. "You can use your acting skills again. I guess those acting class Kuchel force you take when you were a kid benefited us in the end."
"S-shut up!" Levi stuttered, his face can't get any redder.
It was true that Levi once dreamt to be an actor and when his mother discovered that, she forces the raven to attend acting classes. He hated it ever since but he kept attending, knowing that it made his mother really happy.
"Great!" Hange cheered. The Beta's back to her usual self in split second. "This is coming together!"
Levi fell on his leather chair with a grunt. "Ugh, why me?"
"Because you're a lovely Omega!" Hange squealed. "You enjoy cleaning and cooking! A perfect Omega wife material!"
Levi groaned, he badly needed a teapot full of Earl Grey tea. He should have thought things through before accepting Yeager's case. He just dug his own grave while Hange and Kenny help him dig deeper.
He shook his head and decided to accept his fate. Sure, he can clean and cook but there's one thing that bothered him. "If I'm married to Yeager, then he should be suspicious that I don't wear his mark."
"Oh, Levi your inner love for a happily ever after is still there," Hange cooed at him while she removed the box of files and folders of the case from the raven's desk and moved it to hers.
Levi stared at the Beta, crossing his arms across his chest. "What?"
"Nowadays, bonding can only be done if you are married to your mate for five years," Hange explained calmly.
"What? Since when did that happen?" Levi asked. He didn't know that, he thought that right after marriage mates had to bond right away. Isn't that the purpose of the whole matrimony?
"It happened while you are binge-watching all those Disney movies on our last vacation," Kenny supplied and raised a brow at his nephew. "And when was our last vacation again?"
"Five years ago," Hange finished with a sad sigh. She shook her head and hopped on her spot with excitement for their new mission. "Anyways, our main game plan when Yeager is hospital free- he'll be in house arrest under Levi's care."
"We'll bug the house to make sure Yeager's not doing anything out of ordinary," Kenny added. Grabbing his laptop, he moved to their small sitting and continued working there.
"Also the neighborhood will be under heavy security," Hange mumbled as she moved around the room, grabbing a few files from their shelves and dropping them to her desk.
"Ugh," Levi groaned as if he's in pain. He couldn't believed this was happening. Also, he didn't even know what Eren Yeager looked like. What happens if he's an old Alpha in his fifties and smells like cigars?! Levi will probably vomit at his presence.
As if Hange read his thoughts, she approached him with a cheeky smile. "And you, my grumpy-cutie friend! You're going shopping!"
"Aghhh..." Levi half whined, half groaned. Leaning on his chair, he pulled his legs up and wrapped his arms around them. He curled up into a ball, hoping that his poor self-defense position will spare him from Hange's plan.
"Come on, Levi!" Hange grabbed his arm and force him out of his chair. "Buy yourself a nice dress, flowers, and a basket of goodies! Now go and visit your dear husband!"
Levi could only groan as he dragged his feet to the parking lot.
Levi walked into the hospital's hallway with a grim expression. His mood didn't match with his flowy baby blue dress, a basket of fresh fruits on his right, and a bouquet of daisies on his left. He also wore raven mid-length wig on. It was expensive as shit but it didn't felt like straw to touch. It was also crafted to look real. When Levi had it on, no one in Reckon can tell that it was him.
He's not looking forward to their plan, but then again, this was not the first time he played pretend like this. He blamed it all the fucking Hange.
Blue-stormy eyes glared at the last door at the end of the hallway. There are two buff looking Alphas guarding the door in their slick Reckon uniform. Levi clicked his tongue and flipped the hair off his shoulder. Reaching for the basket, he flashed them a card with black and white wings overlapping at each other.
It was Levi's team symbol, he designed it himself. Once he had the card, it meant that he worked for Kenny's team. It was very useful especially if they needed help from random citizens.
The guards stepped aside and even opened the door for Levi. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He'll finally meet Eren Yeager.
He stepped inside, the door closing behind him. His eyes drifted to the Alpha that was lying on the hospital bed. The first thing he noticed was the guy's left leg, it was raised with a cast and wrapped heavily with bandages.
Letting his eyes wander further, Yeager's arms were both wrapped in bandages but he still got all his fingers intact. When Levi landed his eyes on Yeager's face, he just stared.
Levi expected an old Alpha with a bushy mustache and scars on his faces but no. Eren Yeager slept peacefully in his bed, a bandage on his head, and his chocolate brown hair was trimmed by the doctors. He looked so young. If the raven didn't know better, he can say that this Alpha was a college student.
Taking the chair next to the bed, Levi eyed the Alpha. With his tan skin, his cute nose, his luscious lips, Levi can already picture Yeager seductively smirking at him. Handsome as ever even when laying defenseless on the hospital bed. And he smells so good.
Levi's very picky when it comes to Alpha's scents, some were too strong that it hurts his nose while others are simply horrible. But this sleeping brunette smelt like pine in a rainforest, cool and calming.
Levi shook his head, a blush creeping on his cheek as embarrassment and shame drawn to him. He couldn't believe that he ogled shamelessly on a criminal.
Standing up, he distracted himself by putting away the flowers on the vase that was sitting on the side table. He placed the basket on the said table as well and neatly arranged the fruits. But he couldn't help but let his eyes drifted on the attractive Alpha on the bed.
"Shit!" He cursed. But, he decided to focused on the positive side- at least he won't have problems acting around the brunette.
Taking in his role, Levi sat back on the chair and watched the sleeping Alpha. His chocolate hair was all over the place. The doctors trimmed it like a bird's nest but Levi can't blame them since they're not hairdressers.
Levi dared to reach out, pushing back some of the brown locks off the Alpha's face. The bandage was wrapped around his forehead where the stitching was and his left eye was swollen but the raven can tell that they were healing nicely.
He continued fixing Eren's hair until the said Alpha groan in his sleep.
Levi retracted his hand immediately and silently watched as Eren Yeager wake up from his slumber.
His good eye slowly blinked open, revealing the most beautiful shade of green that Levi had ever seen.
Yeager blinked several times, scanning the room slowly until he landed his gaze on Levi. His eye widen.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," Levi greeted with a warm smile. Reaching out, he pushed back the brunette's hair off his face again.
"Um, ah... Hi... Pardon, but who are you?" Eren asked, confusion lacing in his hoarse voice.
Levi sighed sadly. "I'm your wife."
Eren blinked at him, still confused.
"The doctors already informed you regarding your situation, but in case you forgot again- you got into an accident. You hit your head pretty badly and had amnesia. But it's okay. I'm here now," Levi reassured, doing his best to sound and look sad but hopeful at the same time. He hated to admit it but his learnings from his acting classes paid off.
"You're my wife?" Eren croaked.
"Yes, darling," Levi hummed, his hand still raking on the Alpha's hair. It was pretty soft and the raven figured it will be much softer if Eren had taken a shower.
"Really?"
"Really," Levi confirmed.
"Holy shit! You're my wife? My Omega?" Eren spoke in disbelief. "No, you can't be real, you're an angel and I'm just dreaming!"
Levi stopped raking his hand on the other head and stared at the brunette. He didn't expected that reaction. He figured that Eren will push him away or deny having a wife.
"Impossible, this is impossible," Eren shook his head weakly then he studied the raven. "Shit, you're so beautiful and you smell so good. Oh, god, you married me?"
"Believe me, we are married for two years," Levi supplied, finding himself smiling at Eren's reaction.
"T-two years? Wow... just wow... you're my Omega?
"Hmmm," Levi hummed and nodded. Somehow, this was not as bad as the raven thought. Usually, he'll be annoyed because the Alpha asked the same question several times but, Levi was amused.
"So..." A deep blush spread on the Alpha's cheeks. "It's normal that my heart is racing right now?"
Levi tensed. No, it was not normal. He expected that Yeager would feel nothing towards him because none of what raven said was true but maybe the Alpha needed medical attention?
Levi stood and check the brunette's IV and heart monitor before looking down at Eren. "Are you having trouble breathing? I'll call the nurse."
"Wait! No, I mean... I-" Eren trailed off his face was in a deep shade of red.
His hand weakly reach for Levi's, holding the raven's hand and letting his thumb draw a circle on the Omega's skin. "My... my heart is beating so fast but it is not a bad thing..."
