Chapter 2: Levi Smith and Everything Eren Wanted


An. TBH this chapter was originally much shorter but after all the whining I did about false promises, I knew I couldn't end it where I originally planned to or else it would just be pretty much exclusively Erwin/Levi. Unacceptable.

So fair warning: there will indeed be some Erwin/Levi but I promise it's shounenai (rated G) and ONLY the Levi x Eren will be explicit. What can I say? Eren always has been the type to really go for what he wants.

Please enjoy.


"Just fucking quit!" Levi had meant to finally leave Eren's room, having both heard and seen more of Eren than he could possibly handle by that point, but instead wound up walking right into what felt like a living wall of muscle. "Wha… Fucking hell." Erwin fucking Smith. And unfortunately those fucking service trained blue eyes needed only a few quick seconds to take in everything, from Eren's immediately moving to cover himself to Levi's half infuriated grimace as he growled, "I fucking told you to leave ."

"Yes, you did," Erwin said simply, "and now I see why." Finally he did turn to depart, but now Levi had to quickly close the door and chase after him.

"We were only talking!" he insisted. "Nothing happened."

"Whatever you say, Levi."

"I'm serious!" He cut Erwin off and more or less had to manhandle him into pausing, catching him by his collar, which they both knew would rip if he didn't stop. "He's young, Erwin. He doesn't know-"

"But you aren't and you do." Erwin's whole demeanor was rock solid and assured. "Levi, I've seen the way you look at that boy."

"WHAT? He's my fucking son!"

"No, he's not. He's Grisha's beautiful boy who you loved from day one. I was still your best friend back then, remember? Back when you used to always tell me the truth?"

"Fucking hell, Erwin, what are you saying? You think I was after him all along?"

"No, I just think what is true. You loved him then and you love him now, except he's maturing and changing and now that he's shown you this, so are your feelings-Don't lie." Erwin broke free of his hold then, taking advantage of Levi's surprise and confusion. Was he right? "Trust me, I noticed even if you didn't, Levi. The way he looked at you and the way you looked back at him. Whether on or off the battlefield, I can always read the situation and so I always knew Eren was my only serious competition." Levi couldn't speak, feeling as if his brain might even burst from so much new information. "Honestly I was surprised you didn't notice. I started seeing him watch you about six years ago, and if you remember, that was when I first asked you out."

"Six years ? " No fucking way! Wasn't that exactly what Eren had said too?

"Yes, for six years. Remember, on your birthday when I bought you that watch?" He indicated the very same watch which Levi was currently wearing. The damn thing looked expensive, so he always made sure to wear it, but only when he knew Erwin would be visiting. "Six years ago, yeah, because I wanted to ask before he did, but you've been rebuffing us both ever since."

"I…" It was true he'd been rebuffing Erwin, telling him the truth, that he just wasn't sure he wanted a relationship or even had time for one while juggling his job and two rowdy teenagers who loved fighting with others and getting sent home with pink slips. And then Eren had decided he wanted to go into the service too, and they'd had to move houses to be near enough to headquarters that he wouldn't be forced to live on base. Now Levi understood why he'd been so insistent upon staying at home even though he'd wanted so badly to make it into cadet training. "Erwin, do you think Eren... knew?"

"About today? I don't see how he could."

"So then this is just incredibly unlucky timing."

Erwin smirked. "Should I take that comment as a good sign?"

"I don't fucking know!" Levi admitted, exasperated. "This is too fucking much all at once! How could I possibly know?"

"Well what answer did you give him?"

"None. I asked him for five days."

"Well then I'll give you four," Erwin decided. "Friday, 6pm, I'll be waiting for you where we first met. That way, if you don't show up, I'll have my answer." Levi only chewed his lip, not sure if what he was feeling might be excitement or dread. "Also, here. I was planning to give this to you at dinner, but now it'd only cause a scene." Ever so considerate, Erwin subtly held out a hand, palm down, and Levi reached out, accepting. Once Erwin moved his hand though, letting him see what it was, Levi immediately tried to give it back.

"What the fuck-I can't take this!" He offered but Erwin stubbornly folded his arms behind his back, refusing to reclaim it.

"I already had your name engraved on it," he admitted. "Sorry, but it's bought and paid for. Please accept it."

Levi checked, but of course learned Erwin wasn't lying. Erwin never lied, at least not to him. "Fucking hell, Erwin…"

"I wanted to prove I'm serious about you." He reached out again, but only to fold Levi's fingers safely around his very expensive-looking gift. Erwin held only one of his hands with both of his larger ones, so sincere, so gentle, so… Erwin. "Levi, I think you know I'll take good care of you. The kids will be, legally, old enough to have their own houses soon, and if you want, I could buy you and me our own house too. Eren's young and attractive. With a little more space, he could get over you and find someone his own age."

"Tch! You say that like you don't have women all over you. You're attractive too."

"Thanks for the compliment," Erwin offered, smiling, "but it's not about that. I've lived long enough by now to know just what I want, and what type of person brings out the best in me. That type of person, Levi, is exactly you." Levi felt sure he must now be making a face like his fucking mother had just died, but Erwin remained steadfast. "Four more days, eh? That's nothing after all these years." He bowed then, finally ready to leave with a simple, "I'll look forward to it."

Levi stood there for many minutes, even after the front door had closed behind Erwin. How the fuck did this even happen? How had his life warped into… this? Confusion and guilt was all Levi knew now, his mind conjuring those pleading green eyes, begging "love me," and yet at the same time, Erwin's soothing voice, promising, "I'll take good care of you." Nothing felt real anymore. Well, that was, except for one thing, the cool white gold against his fingers as he opened and read the inscription on his heart-stoppingly gorgeous new diamond ring.

"Levi Smith."


Around dinner time, Levi found himself hiding Erwin's lovely ring away in the same box where he kept his wristwatch. Both were precious, of course, but as for the ring, he knew he couldn't be seen wearing it. He was used to closing this box up and then hiding it way in the back of his top dresser drawer, but this time, as he closed that drawer up, Levi wondered why. Why had he always felt the need to hide Erwin away? Was it possible that, deep down, he worried that wearing things like this could cause Eren pain? He'd always told himself it was only because the watch felt heavy and he did not want to damage it, and yet he also missed the watch when he took it off. Many times he'd looked down out of habit, wondering what time it was, only to see nothing but his annoyingly bare wrist. Oh that's right, he would think, with a tinge of immature disappointment, Erwin's not coming today.

Erwin did come whenever he could though. It was just that his higher rank kept him busy with meetings, paper work and making nice with the top brass and snooty morons from the inner walls. Levi thanked Erwin silently every time he saw idiots like that, fat, sloppy pigs who'd purchased their power, whereas people like Erwin and Levi had to carve out a place for themselves on the filthy, bloody battlefield. I should really wear at least one of them Eren already knew about Erwin anyway, and he clearly was no longer a child, in need of Levi's protection… The watch then. It would be the most useful and least eye catching, so he dug it back out and put it on, storing just the ring by itself. Whether he should put on the ring next time Erwin came around was beyond him though. No way. I can't wear it. Would Erwin be disappointed? Would it send a heartbreaking message or just tell him he hadn't yet made up his mind? Levi had no idea, and so decided he would just have to cross that bridge when he came to it.

Dinner proved awkward at best, Levi spending most of his time trying not to look at Eren's wet lips and remember how they had looked so pornographic while pressing against his-NO. Don't think about it! But then with his head bowed, he also had to dodge the clear view of Erwin's wristwatch, as well as the lack of his ring on his still bare left ring finger. Conversation flowed smoothly enough though, Mikasa telling stories about her day at training and seeming none the wiser. And Eren hadn't said anything strange until near the very end of dinner, when Mikasa had already stood and started collecting the plates, volunteering to wash them.

"So Erwin's coming back over tonight?"

"Huh?" Levi narrowed his eyes at his brat. "No. Why would you think that?"

"Because you're wearing the Erwin watch."

Levi froze, in the middle of trying to finish his drink. "…What?"

"The Erwin watch," Eren repeated. "I noticed it forever ago. Every time you wore that watch, Erwin came to visit, like clockwork, so in my head I named it the Erwin watch."

You have got to be kidding me. Exactly how many other things had Eren been thinking all these years? Exactly how much did he know about Levi and Erwin's relationship ? Or even about Levi in general? How closely had this brat been watching his every move? "Eren, have you been," he mouthed the next word, "stalking me for the past six years?"

"No." Eren stood from the table, flawlessly nonchalant. "We live together. I see what you wear. Actually, I bet that you also know what I wear all the time, even though it's always hiding under my shirt collar…"

Yes, in fact he did. "Your father's key. The only thing from your family home that didn't burn to ashes in the fire."

"Yep." Eren fished out said key then, seeming to look down at it. "Interesting you know about something like this, though. I never told you about it, and you couldn't have seen it… unless of course you had some kind of habit of looking my way when I took my shirt off..." Levi caught that little devilish smirk and fixed Eren with a vicious glare.

You little shit. He mouthed, "five days," and stood, cutting off whatever fucked up little game Eren seemed to be baiting him into playing. Clearly Eren was not going to behave himself as Levi had asked, so he understood right away. I'll have to be on my guard. Or, even better, he would have to start avoiding Eren, and Levi figured there was no time like the present.

Eren watched Daddy's every step as he left, studying the delicious way that tight ass of his moved, so perky and so well-defined, and so clearly designed to be opened right up and licked… "Ereh?" His sister's voice interrupted that beautiful thought, killing his excitement entirely, but Eren tried to at least be thankful his pants wouldn't feel so uncomfortable…

Mikasa turned to him, a worried look on her face. "What happened between Papa and you? You're fighting?"

"No," he answered truthfully. "Erwin pisses me off, that's all. Our… personalities don't go together."

"You should try to get along with him, Eren," she warned. "I don't know if you realize, but he and Papa must be courting. If you don't learn to get along with him, you will only cause unnecessary drama once he moves in with us."

"Once he…" It took absolutely everything in him to not glower. "So what, now you can tell the future?"

"No, I just live up there." She pointed upward to what he guessed meant the second floor, and then Mikasa moved closer, dropping her voice to a whisper. "Earlier, I heard what sounded like arguing, so I peeked out over the railing and saw Papa and Erwin talking. Erwin gave him a ring and Papa accepted it."

WHAT? "He wasn't wearing a ring just now. I looked."

"Well maybe Papa knows you hate him, so he won't wear it while you're around, but I'm sure what I saw, a diamond ring. An engagement ring."

An engagement? Eren felt his whole world threaten to fall to pieces. Impossible! Mikasa had to be lying! Levi would never accept an engagement on a day like today, right? How could he? "Mikasa…" He struggled to keep his voice even. "If this is a joke, it's not funny.

"It's no joke, Eren. Go and ask him for yourself. Maybe he'll be relieved since he won't have to bring up the subject himself."

"Ask? How can I ask Daddy something like that! He won't even let me talk about his stupid watch, let alone something like that."

"Well it's that or you'll just have to trust me that it does exist." Mikasa sighed, turning back to her task. "You should choose a chore too. Maybe then he won't stay mad at you."

"Oh trust me, he'll stay mad," Eren assured. "In fact, I'm about to make sure he'll be even more pissed than ever…" Eren left the room then, already sure he knew just where Daddy would be right about now, his favorite place, the bathroom. He headed that way with zero delay, and as expected, spotted Levi. Precious Daddy was getting ready for bed, as per usual, massaging his favorite tea scented lotion into his gorgeous face, making sure it stayed gorgeous because that was the kind of man Daddy was, ageless and perfect. "Hello Levi…" Daddy turned his way but rolled his eyes and went right back to his routine, starting on whatever it was he liked doing with his perfect eyebrows. "What? Not gonna tell me to go away for five days?"

"As if you'd even listen if I did." Levi scoffed. "And, at least you're not calling me raunchy names anymore."

"Raunchy, huh? So it really does turn you on when I say Daddy Levi…"

"…Eren, we are not going to talk about what turns me on."

"That's okay," he decided, "clearly I'm already good at figuring all that out anyway. After all, you were rock hard in my bedroom just a few hours ago…"

"Listen, brat." He finally turned away from the mirror to glare directly at Eren. "I said we're not talking about this so stop already. I'll be thinking about what I promised I would and it'll probably keep me up all fuckin' night. Can't you just be satisfied with that?"

"Well that depends," was his answer.

"Depends? On what?"

"On whether you'll also be thinking about that pretty little ring Erwin gave you today." Levi's instantly giant eyes told Eren all he needed to know. So Mikasa was right.

"Now wait just a fuckin' minute." Levi put down the little silver tool he'd been using and to Eren's surprise, caught hold of his wrist and turned to leave the bathroom. Eren obediently followed Daddy, all the way to his bedroom, and Levi let him in before carefully closing the door, giving them some privacy. "Before you jump to any dumbass conclusions and get all wound up, I'll show you that I only accepted the ring because I had to. Erwin already had my name carved into it, so he can't get his money back, but I also told him I can't give him any answers right now." He opened and dug into his top dresser drawer then, removing an inconspicuous little black box which Eren never would've noticed. Levi extracted what definitely looked to be a real diamond ring and then handed it over without delay. He also unhooked his watch while Eren was inspecting the ring.

"Levi Smith, huh?" Eren gagged. "In his dreams."

"Don't be mean, Eren." He took the ring back and put it with the watch, clearly trying to box them both back up and put them in their rightful place before doing anything else.

Typical, perfect Daddy.. Unfortunately for him, though, Eren didn't care about either that ring or that watch, so when he roughly shoved Levi into that dresser and they both fell to the ground at his feet, he couldn't help smirking. Levi spun around, looking ready to bark, but Eren had been betting on that, and successfully shoved him again, this time forcing the front of his body to press hard against Levi's and pinning him neatly. "I'll tell you a secret," he whispered craftily, one hand reaching up to caress Levi's face while the other snaked its way between their tightly joined bodies and unbuttoned his pants. "You will never, ever, be anything other than Levi Ackerman or Levi Yeager. I will make sure of it."

Once he'd managed to slip his hand in, it proved all too easy to find and start stroking his rather large target, and Levi seemed too caught by surprise to do anything more than gasp in response. Eren chuckled upon hearing that and then pulled Levi closer, beginning to press hot kisses to his neck. He wrapped one arm around him, keeping him firmly in place and opened his mouth, gifting a hot, wet and decadent kiss which caused Levi to actually shiver. Or well, maybe it was the kiss or maybe it was his hips beginning a neat rhythm against him, grinding their bottom halves together so forcefully, so deliciously.

"Mmm…" He only paused his kissing to purr, "This how you like it? You're so hard already…" Levi grit his teeth, looking almost as if he were in pain, but Eren reassured. "Don't worry, sweet Daddy. This is just a selfish brat taking what he wants, nothing serious…" He suckled Levi's neck while his hands began working his pants loose, pushing them down and out of his way. All the while he knew those pretty little symbols of Erwin's affections lay on the ground, at his feet, where they belonged… "Oh, I have wanted this for so long. To just worship you, Levi. Let me tonight. Let me get down on my fucking knees for you. Let me kiss you and whisper your precious name and then suck you off. Please, please…" He kept grinding while asking, loving the way he could feel Levi's body heating so deliciously and even shivering. "You feel so ready for me…"

Finally Levi managed to speak, though his voice sounded uncharacteristically soft and shaky. "Don't-uh! Don't be so fucking full of yourself-Fuck, Eren…" His hands gripped Eren's arms as if on instinct, letting his whole body balance better so their bottom halves squashed together even more deliciously. "I just… I haven't done shit like this in a while."

"Oh, yeah?" Eren purred in his ear, positively loving the sound of that.

"I was too busy raising two terrors," was Levi's explanation, but to Eren it sounded like a flimsy excuse.

"You weren't too busy," he whispered, boldly, "you were just turning down chumps until your real master stepped up to claim you…"

"Is that some fucking kink shit?" Levi's eyes had gone adorably wide. "How the fuck do you even know about shit like that? Don't tell me you've fucking been practicing with someone?"

Eren gave nothing but a devilish grin and a dodging response. "Uh oh, is Daddy jealous?"

"I'm not jealous. I just don't want my son 'practicing' fucking with other men under my own damn roof."

"Oh, but I'm not your sweet son anymore, Levi," Eren whispered, dropping to his knees so he could kiss the object of his current obsession. "I'm your willing slave, your devoted thirsty dog, or…" He tugged the last barrier just barely out of his way and caught Levi so he could kiss and lick all the way up the underside, making Levi tremble. "…your naughty little slut, sorely in need of punishment…" He pumped with only his hand for a minute, loving the impossibly hard feel of it and the silky exterior… "Whichever you like the best tonight…" Eren claimed the first open-mouthed kiss of his bare flesh then, finally, and immediately hated himself for having waited so damn long. Fuck, Levi was so smooth, so impressive, so delicious…

He sounded pissed off though. "I should fucking slap that filthy fucking mouth of yours…"

"Ooh," Eren shivered with anticipation, "will that be my first punishment, Master?"

"Eren, for fuck's sake!" Levi grabbed him by the collar and forcibly made Eren stand on two feet, looking right into his eyes. "Just be you, okay? That's all I want." Clearly those words shook him. Eren suddenly pawed at his chest with those precious green eyes going wide and his bottom lip quivering as he mouthed, "want?" begging Levi to promise this was true, so he reassured. "Just you."

Eren nodded, and at that point his cocky façade seemed to shatter completely, exposing the true Eren Yeager beneath, uncertain and ever lonely. Thirsty for touch, for attention and affection… "O-Okay, Levi." His hands clung as if he were worried Levi would disappear. "I am Eren for tonight, and as long as you want me to be." One hand rose to caress Levi's face, but he seemed almost too scared to even touch. "I'm Eren Yeager, and I love you." His voice fell to little more than a whisper. "Levi Ackerman, I love you so much it terrifies me…"

"Eren-"

"And I tried so hard to stop loving you. I have been so ashamed and I've hated myself every day. I have felt so filthy and so sick and yet still I can't stop it." The truth seemed to just tumble out, like he couldn't contain it for one more second. "I love you more than anything or anyone and I want you. I want you so bad and all I wanted, for so fucking long, is for you to just want me too. Just please, please want me too. Please…"

"Shhh…" Finally Levi put a finger to his frowning lips, not even sure what to think anymore. How the hell Eren suddenly shifted from cocky and tempting to vulnerable and pleading was beyond him, and it meant he had no idea which one was who Eren truly might be. Either way though, he felt pain grip his stomach and chest at the sadness and desperation written all over Eren's precious face and somehow positively dripping, like a cold, sobering rain from Eren's precious voice.

Eren just kept pawing at him, whispers barely audible anymore, and yet Levi still knew exactly what his pouty lips were saying, "I love you, I love you, please, god, please…"

If he'd asked that night, Levi would have claimed his next actions were solely because he just wanted to shut Eren up, but Eren never asked. He simply closed his eyes and accepted the sweetest, soft kiss Levi had ever offered to anyone in his life. Eren was worth it though. He was worth taking it slow and moving only gently and only when Levi was sure he was ready. He was worth tucking himself painfully back into his briefs and then purposefully shedding only his shirt, letting Eren decide on the rest.

He only stared at first, as if not even sure this could really be happening, but then joined in without prompting, pulling his own shirt off. Still, Levi noticed how his fingers trembled when he reached down to undo his pants next. It was almost painful to imagine how he must've felt in that moment, already so vulnerable, knowing he could be suddenly rejected at any moment and for any reason. Hell, Eren couldn't even know if this would turn out humiliating or even physically damaging… And yet all the while his wavering eyes betrayed him, promising, "I'll do anything…" and Levi honestly wasn't even sure what the right answer could've been anymore.

"Eren-"

"Don't change your mind!" He roughly yanked those pants down, but seemed to calm when Levi held him to help him keep balance as he stepped out of them. "Please don't let me fuck this up."

"Alright, but this ought to be your choice. What do you want tonight, Eren?"

He answered with zero delay, beautiful and breathless. "Everything."
