Please excuse bad grammar, I'm working on it.
I do not own Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin (sadly)
"You have got to be shitting me," Eren said, letting go of Jean's hair and standing up straight. Armin looked very confused as to who the hell the stranger was. The man never moved from his spot and just stared at Eren. "Levi?" Eren queried. Levi smirked and walked over to Eren.
"Well, I'm glad a brat like you can recognise me without a mask on. Tell me, was it my nice eyes?" Levi teased. Now Eren regretted complimenting Levi's eyes the night before.
"What the hell are you doing here? You saw me last night, it hasn't even been twelve hours yet. Why!?" Eren nearly shouted, he was confused and furious. Levi's smirk vanished.
"I said that I wanted to get to know you, and that what I plan to do," he said plainly. Eren felt like snapping someone's neck, until Armin stood next to him.
"Wait, this is the Alpha that you were just talking about?" Armin asked. He really didn't help the situation as Levi's smirk returned and Eren felt like running away.
"So, you were just talking about me, huh?" Levi said. Eren chuckled.
"Yes. It follows into the category of conversation that involves the topic 'Why am I cured this way?'" he replied. Levi frowned.
"You've got a lot of sass, you know that right, brat?" he said.
"Will you stop calling me a brat. Go home," Eren nearly begged, but Levi shook his head. At some point during the conversation Armin helped Jean out of the clearing and back to the village, leaving the Alpha and Omega alone. "I'm going to kill Armin the next time I see him," he said under his breath.
Levi sat down on the grass, looking around the clearing like it was from a distant memory.
"Sit down, brat," Levi said, but Eren took it as an order.
"I won't obey your orders, Levi, and you know it," he replied. Levi shook his head.
"And it wasn't an order. I am just a normal person asking for you to join me." Eren rolled his eyes.
"No, this is asking - 'Would you like to sit down with me?'" he said. Levi rolled his eyes.
"Fine, do what you want. Stand there," he said. Eren sighed and sat down on the grass, giving up. "There. Now was that so bad?" Eren huffed and looked away from the Alpha.
"So what are you doing here?" he asked, obviously annoyed.
"I told you, I'm here to get to know you," Levi said.
"Yeah, but that's not the whole story and you know it. Go and stalk another Omega, there are plenty at the village."
There was silence between them after that. The wind blew softly and the trees rattled.
"I haven't been to Shiganshina in years," Levi suddenly said. Eren frowned and turned to him.
"You've been here before?" he asked. Levi nodded.
"Yeah, but that was ten years ago. This whole place hasn't changed at all." Eren's eyes widened.
"You can't be..." he whispered.
"Huh?" Levi said, not hearing what the Omega had whispered. Eren shook his head.
"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking of the past."
"Hmm," Levi hummed in response. And then silence.
"Please, Levi, go home," Eren begged. He was growing tired of this and it hasn't even be twenty-four hours since they first met.
"Eren, you need to understand that not all Alphas are the same. When you realise that, then I will stop calling you a brat," Levi said.
"pfft. Okay, Levi, then elaborate for me. Can you honestly say that you aren't dominant, possessive and thinking about fucking me," Eren said, resting his head on his hands. Levi nearly choked.
"That's not fair. The dominant and possessiveness is an Alpha trait; it can't be helped. It's like me asking you if you can't get pregnant; that's a Omega trait that can't be helped. And no, I don't always think about fucking you, thank you very much. Unlike other Alphas, where I would have probably taken you by now, I want to understand you," Levi nearly shouted.
Eren was a little taken back for Levi's outburst, and felt a little guilty.
"Sorry," he said in a tiny voice. Levi sighed.
"It's okay, brat. Now can we stop talking about that shit? It's getting a bit awkward," he replied. Eren nodded.
"I couldn't agree more."
"Well then, do you come here often?" Levi asked. Eren nodded.
"Yeah, I have been coming here ever since I was small because it was like a place where I could run away to. Kids always used to pick on me, like Jean, for being a male Omega. Mum said it was like a blessing and that I was one of a kind, but after a while, you begin to think that all those things are just lies to cheer you up," Eren said. He remembered the fact that Levi punched Jean in the face.
"There are always going to be assholes who don't like the difference. Being different is good, it's special," Levi replied. Eren felt a blush crawl to his face. It sounded very familiar to what that person had told him all those years ago. He couldn't have been Levi, could he?
"Yeah. My dad wasn't one for me being different. He left as soon as he found out I had the wrong status. Mum said that when I was born, and they announced that I was a boy, my dad was crying his heart out. But when they said I was an Omega, those tears stopped and he tried to kill me. I feel like I have brought shame to my family, but mum says otherwise."
Levi sighed and lay back in the grass, running his fingers through the clean green strands.
"If your mother says otherwise, then I agree with her. You haven't brought shame on your family. You were born this way and it's not your fault. You being an Omega doesn't require continuous care, like if you were disabled. Hell, you can take care of yourself; and I know that, taking that I just saw you kick the life out of that Beta," Levi comforted. Eren could understand where Levi was getting at. He didn't cause his mother any financial problem.
"Yeah, sorry you had to see that," Eren apologised, which he had no idea why he was doing. Levi shook his head.
"No. I'm glad I saw it. It made me understand more about you; you are stronger than other Omegas and have the strength to take down a Beta," he replied. Eren smiled.
"Thanks."
"However, even if you have got the strength to take down a Beta, an Alpha is an entirely different story," Levi stated.
"Huh?"
"Now I'm not trying to say that all Alphas are the top notch fighters, however, they do have a different fighting style and they would have seen that kick coming." Eren nodded.
"Meaning that you could beat me to a pulp."
"pfft, most likely. But I don't plan to any time soon, or ever in this case," Levi said. Eren could tell that Levi was a lot different that other Alphas. He was telling things that he didn't know and it made things easier.
"So how do you beat an Alpha, then?" Eren asked, truly interested. Levi raised an eyebrow.
"Why would you want to know? It's not like your going to fight one, right?" Levi questioned. Eren sighed.
"I've had quite a few Alphas come at me. Either to try and rape me or just to pick on me for being different. My sister, Mikasa, was always the one to chase them away before they could do anything, though," he said. Levi's face looked far from angry, but henodded and closed his eyes.
"Fine, I'll tell you, but I won't show you; you'll have to figure it out for yourself. Alphas use their ability of strength more than speed. They are very hard to distract, so cross that off your list of ways to beat them. They use their nose through battle, so hiding is not a option either, and your smell is stronger than the rest. Their tails are usually their weak spot. Use your speed to go around them, give their tail a hard tug and then kick them. That probably the only way.
"You can't tell others about that though. I'm tell you because your special." Levi said. Eren huffed, a little annoyed that Levi was trying to get at him again.
"Go home," he said back. Levi smiled a little, his eyes still closed.
"I'm mainly telling you this because if I did something you didn't like, you now know how to stop me. But only in those times, I am stronger than most as well," Levi threatened a little. Eren sighed.
"Note taken."
"See, we can get along. You may have not brought your guard down completely, but at least we can have a normal conversation," Levi teased.
"Don't say that, you ass. I might just think about bringing them up again and walking home...actually that's a bad idea, I don't want you to know where I live." Levi chuckled.
"Smart move, brat. If you don't want someone to know where you live, don't walk home."
Eren lay back in the grass as well, staring up at the sky.
"So where else have you been, apart from Shiganshina and the palace?" Eren asked. Levi opened his eyes.
"I've been to many places over the kingdom. It helps to know the Prince; he allows you to accompany him to different places. The time I came here, the Prince and King decided to meet the male Omega that lived in the village, sadly he wasn't home," he said smiling. Eren knew he was talking about him, duh.
"Why didn't the Prince ever return?" he asked. Levi sighed.
"The villagers weren't too happy about the royals sticking their noses into other peoples lives, I completely agree," he replied. Eren smiled and closed his eyes. "Maybe one day I could take you to the next village over - Trost."
Eren sighed, already knowing his answer,
"I don't think so. I prefer to stay where I am. I don't want anymore strangers looking at me," he said completely calm.
"We'll see," Levi said. Eren hummed.
"Please don't force me," Eren said.
"I'm not going to force you to do anything, brat. Calm down," Levi replied.
After that, Eren and Levi just spoke for a while about random things.
"Oh, before I forget, what did you tell the Prince yesterday? You promised that you wouldn't tell him about me, and he still didn't choose a bloody mate," Eren asked. Levi turned to him.
"Well, at first, I advised him that the partner he was dancing with was most definitely not to be chosen. She was too over him and pushed her breasts out too much. But I mainly told him that it was about time for the choosing. I'm sort of like his advisor. I'm more of a friend, but aren't friends meant to give good advise," he answered.
Eren felt relief as to finally knowing the answer. "You didn't really think that I would tell him of you, did you?" Eren remained silent. "God, you have no trust do you?"
"Well it's not my fault. I've only known you for so many hours and suddenly I'm trusting you to not tell a Prince of me. At least I'm trusting you to do that," Eren said.
It was nearly lunch time and Eren was growing hungry, but he didn't want Levi to follow him home. Sadly, at the worst time possible, his stomach grumbled. Eren's ears went down out of embarrassment, while Levi just stared at him.
"You could have told me you were hungry," he said. Eren huffed.
"But I don't want you to follow me home," he replied. Levi sighed and got up, brushing himself and his tail down.
"Fine, I'll go home if you're that worried. I'll come again, though," he said before walking away, his black fluffy tail swaying behind him.
Once Levi was gone, Eren let out a deep breath. He hadn't expected Levi to show up so suddenly, it scared him. As his stomach grumbled again, Eren walked out of the clearing and back to the village.
He felt content around the people of the village, apart from the younger folk. They understood him and thought of him as a gift to the boring village.
As Eren entered his home, he was greeted by the smell of soup. He smiled happily and closed the door.
"Welcome home," three voices called out to him. Armin was in the house as well, and Eren needed to remember to kill him. His mother turned to him and gasped.
"Eren, what happened? You're as white as a sheet," she said, rushing over to him. Eren was shocked and touched his face, he shook his head.
"No, I'm fine. Please don't worry," he replied. Armin was looking at him from the corner of his eye. Eren ate, or drank, his lunch. It soothed him and made him feel better.
Afterwards, Armin followed Eren to his room. They entered and closed the door.
"So what happened with...Levi, was it?" Armin asked, sitting on the bed. Eren sighed.
"Remind me to kill you for leaving me with him. What was that for anyway?" Eren asked, ignoring Armin's question.
"It felt like you guys needed some time alone. He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Eren shook his head.
"No, we just talked. He said that he would be back though...Armin, help me! I have a stalker!" Eren cried. Armin tried to calm his best friend.
"Don't worry, Eren. It can't be that bad. It's not like he is the type of stalker that hurts their victims. If you were, I don't think you would be here now."
Eren already knew that. He knew he was just complaining, but it was all new to him. He never experience this type of stalking before, and I scared him.
"So, what did you and Levi talk about?" Armin asked.
"Nothing much: I asked him why he was here, I told him to go home, he told me how to take down an Alpha; which I have been sworn to secrecy of, and he confirmed to me that he did not tell the Prince of me," Eren said. Armin looked a little relieved.
"That's good to hear. It seems like you two get on really well." Eren nearly choked.
"I-I would never get on with that pompous freak," Eren said blushing.
"But why did you stutter?" Armin tease.
"I-I-"
"And why are you blushing?
"Armin!" Armin was laughing really hard after that, so hard he was crying.
"I'm sorry, you're just too easy," Armin admitted. Eren sighed and threw his head back.
"That's not helping my problem at all," he said.
"Well then, if you have any problems, come ask me. You know I am here for you, Eren," Armin said, getting of the bed and walking to the door.
Once Armin was gone, Eren threw himself on his bed and buried his face into his pillow. Levi was a lot more handsome than Eren thought he would be. His face was stern and his eye were a little cold, but there was something about them.
Eren suddenly caught himself thinking such strange thoughts and shook them away. Life had gotten a whole lot more confusing.
. . . .
A couple of weeks passed, and Levi came almost every day. You could say a routine began: Eren would go to the clearing after breakfast and Levi would be there. They would talk for hours, until it was lunch time and they both went home.
At first, Eren went to the clearing to make sure Levi wasn't there, but he was. As time went on, Eren felt more comfortable around Levi, but he still didn't let his guard down.
"How did you meet the Prince?" Eren asked one time, two weeks after the ball. They were both lying on the grass, completely content.
"My mother had connection with the King before she died. The Prince and I had a lot in common: we both lost our mother and were stuck with out uncles. Naturally we became friends," Levi replied.
"How long have you known him?" Eren asked. Levi sighed, somewhat bored.
"Almost my entire life. Why are you so interested about mine and the Prince's relationship?" Levi asked quite harshly. Eren was taken back a bit, he shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. I felt like knowing," he said. Eren felt like going back into his hole.
"I'm sorry, brat. I didn't mean for that to sound harsh," Levi said. Eren looked down, before feeling a drip of water fall onto his face. And then another, and another, until a whole deluge came onto them.
Their eyes widened and they quickly sat up and made their way to the trees for cover.
"Well isn't this just great," Levi sarcastically said. Eren laughed a bit. "You should get home, I'll go home too. If it rains tomorrow, don't bother coming here; I'm not." Eren frowned.
"Wait, you can't go home in this," Eren said.
"Well, what would you have me do?" Levi asked. Eren bit his lip, and he couldn't believe he was about to say this.
"You could...come...home with me," he said hesitantly. Levi frowned.
"Are you sure about that, brat. I don't want to push you," he said. Eren rolled his eyes and began walking to the village.
"Come on, before I change my mind," he said. He could tell that Levi was smiling behind him as they walked out of the forest and came to the village. Eren at first felt like going to Armin's house, but then he thought that that would have been a bit harsh to lie about a place being your home.
The rain was getting heavier, and by the time they got to Eren's doorstep, they were absolutely drenched. It wasn't lunch time yet, so the smell of food couldn't be smelt.
"I'm home," Eren called. His mother came rushing down stairs with a towel.
"I was wondering when you would return, it's raining like mad...out...there." Her voice began to slow as she saw Levi and they could hear her sniff the air. Her eyes widened and she immediately grabbed her son. "Get out of my house!" she shouted. Eren's eyes widened.
"Mum, what's going on?" he asked.
"Can't you smell it in the air, Eren? He's an Alpha, and a strong one too," she said.
Levi just stood where he was, completely emotionless on his face.
"I know he is, mum. I invited him. Where do you think I have been going for the past couple of weeks?" Eren said, trying his best to protect Levi. His mother release her hold on her son's wrist and placed them on his shoulders.
"He hasn't done anything to you, has he?" she asked. Eren shook his head. His mother sighed and stubbornly went to Levi. "So, kid. What's your name? How old are you? Where do you live?" she asked. It felt like a motherly interrogation.
"My name is Levi, I'm twenty-five years old and I live near the palace," he said, completely calm. Eren's mother frowned,
"Levi? I swear I have hear that name before," she said thinking, however, after a while she sent a death glare to her son. "Eren Jäeger..." she hissed, which sent shivers down his spine. "Levi was the name of that Alpha you met at the ball, wasn't he?" she said pitching his fluffy ear. Eren hissed and tried to pry her off him.
"It's not what you think, trust me. Levi wants to get to know me and he is so determined that he comes to the village almost everyday. I didn't want him walking home in the rain, so I thought he could stay here until the rain subsided," Eren squirmed. His mother released her son's ear and sighed.
"Fine, I don't care. Do what you want." Eren nodded and Levi and they made their way upstairs. "Oh and Levi," she called on more time. Levi stopped and turned to Eren's mother, she was glaring at him, "don't touch Eren."
Levi nodded and continued up the stairs. They went to Eren's room.
"Your mum is really cool," Levi said.
"Pfft, really?"
"Yeah. It's nice to see Omegas who can stand up to Alphas." Eren sighed.
"Yeah. Mum always says that I was the one who taught her how to stand up for herself, but I think she taught me." Levi nodded.
"How is your ear?" he asked. Eren rubbed his poor ear a little.
"Its okay, I'm used to it. It's just her way of showing that she cares about me," Eren replied. "So...you're twenty-five?" Levi grunted.
"Yes, I am twenty-five, you got a problem with that?" Eren shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. I'm sixteen and that's a nine year age difference." Levi smirked.
"Eh..? So you've actually been thinking about us then?" he teased. Eren nearly choked.
"Get lost, you asshole, there is no 'us'. It's you who is the determined one and now that we know each others ages, don't you think it's strange?" Eren said blushing. Levi shook his head.
"I don't give a shit about our age difference. Besides, we aren't exactly nine years apart. When's your birthday?" Levi asked. Eren crossed his arms, stubbornly.
"And why should I tell you?" he pouted.
"For the reason of this argument and because I want to know," Levi replied. Eren groaned.
"...It's in a few weeks. March 30th," Eren hesitated. Levi smiled.
"I'll keep a note of that."
"So when's your birthday?" Eren asked. Levi turned away.
"I don't want to talk about it," he said stubborn.
"What? No, you have to say. I told you mine," Eren complained.
"But I hate my birthday, it's ruined."
"Levi..."
"...It's December 25th," Levi grumbled.
"Aw, you're a Christmas baby," Eren laughed.
"Shut the fuck up, you shitty brat. Anyway, we only have about eight years and a quarter difference between us. Does that make things easier?" he asked. Eren shrugged his shoulders again.
"I don't know. I've never been in a relationship before and I don't plan to. I keep on saying that you are wasting your time; I'm not bringing them down," Eren said. Levi smiled a little, and Eren had no idea why.
"You said two weeks ago that I couldn't take you to the next village over; Trost. Have you thought about it?" Levi asked. Eren sighed.
"No I haven't. I told you that I don't like being stared at,"
"We could just disguise your scent," Levi suggested. Eren shook his head.
"No, won't work. Mum says that nothing can disguise the smell you've already got. If there was, I wouldn't have gone to the ball."
"Ah, that's not entirely true. This is where I come in. All I need to do is rub my smell off on you and you'll be fine, no one will know you're an Omega," Levi said. Eren frowned.
"How?"
"No matter how strong the Omega's scent is, it can always be covered up by an Alpha; sadly Beta's don't work so well. It is used to tell people around that this Omega already has a mate and can't be taken anymore," Levi explained.
"Woah Woah Woah. I said that I wouldn't be your mate," Eren panicked. Levi rolled his eyes.
"And you're not going to be, you idiot. It's just something for the public. Properly mating someone is a different story, you can ask you mother that later." Eren blushed a bit. "Anyway, will you go with me?" he asked.
Eren bit his lip, thinking for a moment before groaning.
"Fine, but if anyone starts coming towards me like I'm a fucking circus act, I'm going home," he said. Levi nodded.
"Deal."
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, startling the two. The door opened and Mikasa came into the room.
"Eren, mum was wondering if our guest will be joining us for lunch. The rain has stopped," she said, glaring at Levi.
"Nah, I best get home," Levi said, before turning to Eren. "If it's not raining tomorrow, we'll go to Trost, okay?" Eren hesitantly nodded and watched Levi leave his room, Mikasa trailing behind him.
Eren sighed and leaned again the wall, utterly exhausted. He heard the front door close and looked outside to watch Levi walk away from the village.
There was something off about the Alpha that Eren couldn't put his finger on. Levi had Eren's heart leaping and it was strange. Eren had never experienced this before, and he's only known Levi for two weeks.
His mother began calling for lunch and he went downstairs. After lunch, Eren thought it was the right time to ask 'the question' as Mikasa left the house to go and meet her friends.
"Mum, how are people mated?" he asks nervously. He could have swore he saw his mother almost drop the bowls. She turned to him, absolutely mortified. She rushed over to him and began sniffing him.
"Levi didn't do anything to you, right?" she asked panicked. Eren shook his head.
"No, of course not. I just think it's about time I know. I'm almost seventeen and my first heat could pop up anytime, I want to know what to expect." his mother sighed sadly and took a seat opposite him.
"Oh, I hate 'the talk'. It's horrible," she whined.
"I already know about 'the talk', please don't go into that shit. It was embarrassing the first time," Eren pleaded. His mother laughed.
"Yeah, but I had to explain gay mating, which I have never done. Anyway, which do you want to know about first: heats or mating?" she asked. Eren didn't really want to talk about either, but he knew he had to.
"Heats," he answered. His mother nodded.
"Okay. Heats are the cycle that Omegas have when they are at their highest chance of getting pregnant. It happens once a month. Without the heat, the chance of getting pregnant is about 60% for an average Alpha, however, their are stronger Alphas...such as Levi, who would bump up that percentage."
Eren blushed as she mentioned Levi.
"The heat would bring an average Alphas chance up to about 90%, but stronger Alphas would bring it to 100%, so be careful, cub.
"The day you realise that you are in heat will be a very confusing day. You will feel hot and a little dizzy, but you'll be fine.
"The second day: you will experience headaches and your whole body will ache a bit, but you'll be fine.
"The third day: this house will be under quarantine. That door is not allowed to be open for more than a number of second and you will be in bed. You will be in great pain: you will be hot and achy. You will be moaning and sometimes screaming.
"The forth, and final day: you will be in a greater pain than the day before. You wouldn't have slept the night before. You will most likely try and pleasure yourself, but whenever you try, it will hurt even more. Only the mate is allowed to pleasure you when you are in heat.
"On the morning of the fifth day, you will wake up feeling completely fine, like the heat never happened."
Eren looked a little scared now.
"I know it is scary, cub. The first heat is always the worst and I wish I could do something to stop it. I fear that your heat maybe worse because you already have a stronger scent than the rest."
Eren bit his lip, accepting his fate. "And mating?"
"The time of mating happens during sex. Just because you have sex with someone, doesn't mean that you are mated to them." His mother grabbed her shirt, that was around her neck, and pulled it to the side; revealing a bite mark. "During the mating process, the Alpha, or Beta, will bite you. The bite mark will stay a scar and you shall be mated, you can no longer have another mate, but that doesn't stop you from having sex with other people. You just can't get pregnant from any other being.
"After you are mated, your heats will be around as long as your mate is around; they are the ones that control it. I learnt this after your father left. After you were born, I was expecting a heat, but it never came. Your father left, and so did the heats. After you are mated, the chance of getting pregnant will immediately become 100%."
Eren nodded, and his mother lay back in her chair and breathed.
"And that is all you need to know. If I remember anything, I'll tell you," she said, taking a deep breath. Eren immediately went upstairs to his room and lay down on his bed.
He was almost seventeen and his heats hadn't started yet, which was normal. Most started them when they were sixteen - seventeen.
And again, this is why he hated being an Omega.
And the third chapter is up. I'm on a roll updating ever week. I understand that this story is a little cliche, but at some point during the course of the story, it will become less cliche. I'm also getting reviews about Rivaille and Levi, to be honest I thought you guys could work it out, but I guess not. Everything will be explained in chapters 6 and 7. I'm currently writing chapter 5 and I'm having a little difficulty because I want this story to last. I know what chapter 6 will be, but what about chapter 5. I'll work it out.
Now, I would like to thank these people for the following:
Reviewing - Nausica (x2), Miko Vampire, baileybugszoey, mikuchan, Yaoilishus and ccross023.
Favouriting - AkumaHeichou, Yaoilishus and MissBabyDoll01.
Following - MercifulPeaceGraceWisteria, otakukitten101, CB14, MaximumXXcorruption, Toramonger, MissBabyDoll01, CastielIsMyAngel, tandy9evaG, Yaoilishus and ccross023.
I would also like to specifically thank ccross023 for helping me relocate my story. I feel like an idiot because I put my story in the wrong bloody link. I put it in the Attack on Titan link and not the Shingeki no Kyojin link...BAKA! Also I changed my summary, so I hope it is better than before. To be honest, can you guys please tell me how my grammar is because I don't know what you guys think.
Well, until next Friday.
