"Levi?"
Eren repeated. He didn't know what gotten into him when he heard the name. But when he set his feet inside the sanctuary it was crystal clear. Mate. His mate is here.
He followed the sweet scent with a hint of vanilla in them. Until the scent grew stronger and stronger and here he was, meters away from his beautiful mate.
He's short but that's normal for omegas. His raven hair was styled in an undercut, it was unfeminine for an omega to wear but Eren didn't care. Blue stormy eyes where wide, meeting his own Caribbean blue-green.
Perfect, so perfect
Eren never seen an omega like his mate, he expected that they will be thin and weak. Since he manage to think the moment he enters the sanctuary:
Erwin's report state that there's an omega that was rescued on "Kenny Ackerman Case" and currently under medication on the Omega sanctuary.
Hanji apologized for not looking after the newcomer which is Levi.
With all that, he concluded that his mate is in bad shape.
But he was wrong.
His mate is standing right there. He look healthy and well fed through the past years. No scars or any marks on his pale skin. Well, except for the small marks that the syringes and needles left.
He can smell some fresh medicines on his blood but there are no longer stains of suppressants.
And most of all: his untouched.
His Alpha instincts ordered him to snatch the little Omega and do what they must do. But.
Something's wrong, his mate is just standing there. Staring at him with wide eyes.
Confusion, curiosity, happiness, fear, with a mix of pain, distress and exhaustion filled the Omega's scent. Making his Alpha instincts go wild but this time there's hesitance.
Alpha instincts are always forceful and strong, that is why Eren never follow his instincts since it's bad omen if your a business man. But now, his Alpha instincts is pulling the breaks?
It seems that Eren's Alpha knew that there's something. And for the first time, he trust his instincts.
The Omega didn't budged, the same mixed scent still hangs around the air. He have to do something. Taking a few slow steps he instinctively raise both hands in surrender.
"I'm Eren Yeager, perhaps you feel it too. We're mates." saying those words out loud made Eren smile but the omega just tilted his head on the side. The air is filled with curiosity.
"Mates?" Eyes still fixed on Eren. The Omega didn't felt threaten instead he gives off a scent of pure curiosity.
"Ahh... Yes?" Eren had no clue what to say.
Mates should know right away that they are fated from the moment they locked gaze. But it seems that Levi didn't recognized him as mate.
Ouch. That hurt. Eren felt his heart shattering.
"You know, fate put us together. We're made for each other. You can feel it too... right?" Eren wanted to vomit, he can't believe he said those cheesy lines and fuck they rhythm.
The omega just ponder at the words, his brows furrowed. Eren never felt so awkward under his stare.
"You're odd."
"Wha- well... that's..." Eren never felt so embarrassed like this. His Omega just called him "odd".
"Not that I don't like it... or ... anything... of the sort..." the Omega whispered as he lowers his head, averting his gaze to the grass on his feet.
Eren can see the bright blush painted on his face while both hands on the sides griped the skirt of his night gown.
"I-I have to go." In a spit second the omega sprinted out of his sight.
Levi finally stopped, panting hard as he can trying to even out his breathing. He didn't know where to go, he just ran and ran with no direction. Passed people and buildings but all has a blur to him. His heart is aching every time he took a step.
He stopped at the far end of the wall. The area is shaded with full grown trees, he sat behind a huge one hoping it can hide his tiny form.
'Wait, why did you ran?'
A voice on his head scolded him.
'Go back to him, he'll make everything better.'
"Go back? I don't even know that guy!" Levi argued with the voice.
'Admit it, his big catch.'
Levi blushed hard on the statement. But wait, his talking to himself maybe his crazy.
His uncle mention long ago that some fighters went insane due to long period of staying in the cell.
It makes sense, the nurses and doctors he encountered. Maybe he is insane and he doesn't knew it.
He can sense that someone is coming, but instead of feeling threaten he felt calm.
The same guy appeared from the tall bushes, there are leaves sitting on his chocolate hair. He slowly approached Levi and kneeled in front of him. His Caribbean eyes were teary and full of worry.
"I'm sorry did I frighten you? It's just that... I want to help you." His voice sounds like his about to cry. But Levi find it very calming.
"Hmm," Levi hummed. Closing his eyes as he let his whole body relaxed.
A tan hand cupped his cheek. Only his uncle touched him like this every time he cries because of the nightmares he had when he was a child. Levi leaned to the touch.
"Your still recovering. Let's go to your room, you must be tried." He withdraw his hand and brushed off the leaves on his mop hair.
"You smell good." Levi blurted.
'Alpha' the voice whispered to him
"Well...t- that's because-"
"Oh I'm sorry, my body just move on it's own." Levi straighten up and averted his eyes.
Levi can't believe it, his leaning towards the guy and sniffing him. Maybe he is insane.
"It's fine I don't m-"
"Its just there's this voice telling me to do shit and- I'm not crazy! Or something... I- I have to get out of here. I-I have to go."
Levi is about to stand but his legs gave out on the process. Good thing there's this good looking, delicious smelling Alpha that catches him, saving him from the fall and carried him in bridal style.
"You need to rest." looking down at him the Alpha gave him a reassuring smile.
Levi just stared up to him as he started walking. His gaze slid down to the Alpha's neck.
Instinctively, he snaked his arms around the Alpha's neck and pressing his face on it. His nose located the scent gland, opening his mouth wide he bit hard on the gland breaking the skin and drawing blood.
Alpha flinched at his sudden actions. But Levi didn't care. His insane anyway.
