Erwin could smell the weed from his room, but he wasn’t going to say anything. He wasn’t that kind of RA where he would scope out the smell and go after the person responsible. He would only write someone up if he saw them with a joint in open view, but he wasn’t going to seek out someone and write them up for doing something that was legal in the privacy of their own bedroom.

His roommate, Nile, on the other hand, was that kind of RA. He was a little snitch, and Erwin would always scold him for being too harsh on the other students, tell him he wasn’t going to make friends that way. Erwin was particularly concerned because the smell was definitely coming from across the hall - Levi’s dorm. Erwin had taken a liking to Levi - the two had a couple of classes together and Levi was very cute and a good listener. He listened to Erwin go on rants during their study breaks together, and didn’t seem to mind when Erwin went off the rails on some talk about such and such historical figure.

Erwin watched with horror as Nile sniffed the air, making a face, “Ugh. Who the hell is smoking weed right now? I bet it’s that damn Ackerman.”

Nile got out of his chair and went to grab his disciplinary notepad where he would write people up. Erwin quickly got up as well, standing in the doorway to block Nile from exiting the room. He wasn’t going to let Levi get into trouble.

“I assure you, Levi wouldn’t do something that like,” Erwin tried. “Just let this one go, alright?”

Nile eyed him suspiciously, “And why the hell should I? Clearly you’re hiding something, Erwin. It’s my job to write people up for breaking the rules, and smoking weed is against one of the rules.”

“Nile,” Erwin frowned, a pleading look on his face. “Come on, man. Can’t you do me this one solid? Just… overlook it, just for today. I’ll tell him to smoke elsewhere. Just don’t write him up, okay?”

He knew that getting written up would affect Levi’s position at the university, and he didn’t want to see Levi get in trouble. Nile crossed his arms over his chest and stared Erwin down for a moment.

“You have to take my French history notes for a week,” Nile negotiated. “And you have to go talk to him about not smoking in the building.”

Erwin sighed, “Fine. It’s a deal.”

The two shook hands, and Erwin turned around to head out of their dorm across the hall to Levi’s dorm. He knocked on the door a few times, thankful that he’d gotten Nile to change his mind.

Levi opened the door, coughing a little as a haze of smoke filled his dorm room. He saw Erwin, his eyes widening, “Ah shit. I’m not getting written up, am I? I opened my window and everything!”

Erwin shook his head quickly, “I’m not writing you up, but you have to be more careful. Nile almost came over here to write you up, but I convinced him out of it… in fact, now I have to do his history notes for him for a week, so you kind of owe me.”

Levi looked up at him in some surprise, “Oh. Well… thank you, Erwin. That was nice of you. I’m sorry, I really thought I was masking the scent - I put a towel under the door and everything so it wouldn’t travel. Anyway, how can I make it up to you?”

Erwin chuckled, “You could let me have a hit.”

Levi couldn’t help but grin, motioning for Erwin to come into his dorm. Erwin walked in and shut the door. Despite the smell, the room was immaculately clean. Erwin didn’t realize Levi was such a clean freak. Levi went and sat in the window sill, picking up his half-smoked joint and relighting it. He took two hits before passing the joint to Erwin, who joined him in the window.

Erwin took a hit from the joint, breathing the smoke out the window. The two passed the joint back and forth between them, and soon it was down to an unsmokeable nub, which Levi discarded in an old beer can in his recycling bin.

Levi sighed a little, “You know, I can repay you in other ways, Erwin.”

Erwin raised an eyebrow, unsure of what Levi meant. He turned to look at the shorter man, seeing a lust in his eyes that hadn’t been there before. Erwin briefly wondered if weed could make you horny.

“O-Oh,” Erwin blushed. “You… You mean you want to…?”

“Get fucked? Yeah,” Levi nodded, not appearing flushed or embarrassed in the least by his own words.

Erwin’s mouth practically dropped open. He was sure there had to be some sort of rule against RA’s having sex with other students, but Erwin was starting to not really care all that much.

“Uh… Uh…” Erwin stuttered. “I mean, I… I’d have to go grab a condom.”

“I have plenty,” Levi replied as he got up from the window sill and headed over to his bedside table. He took out a small bottle of lube and a condom, tossing them towards Erwin, who caught them, still in some shock as to what was going to happen. Of course he wanted to have sex with Levi, but god he was nervous.

“Come on, big boy,” Levi cooed, climbing onto his bed patting his own ass with a lustful look on his face. “Come and get it.”

Erwin blushed and stared at Levi for a brief moment before hopping off the window sill and walking over to the bed. He climbed on top and grasped Levi's face with his free hand, pulling him close and kissing him deeply. God he'd wanted this for so long. Levi was incredibly attractive, and it wouldn't be the first time he'd thought about having sex with the smaller man. Levi grasped Erwin's face in both hands and kissed back hungrily, groaning into Erwin's mouth and entangling a leg in between Erwin’s.

Erwin pulled away to hastily undo Levi’s pants, tugging them down along with his boxers. Levi unbuttoned Erwin’s shirt and started to feel up his chest, taking one of Erwin’s nipples into his fingers and rolling the nubs under the pads of his digits. Erwin groaned, watching Levi smirk and lean forward to suckle on Erwin’s right nipple, causing him to gasp and whimper. He grasped Levi’s ass and tugged him closer, watching the sexy man sucking and licking at his pec.

Erwin undid the cap on the bottle of lube and poured some onto his fingers, reaching back and rubbing at Levi’s hole while the man nibbled lightly on his nipple. Erwin was having a hard time focusing with Levi attached to his chest like this, but he gently nudged his finger inside, listening to Levi whine as he felt up Erwin’s other pec with his hands.

“Fuck,” Erwin sighed as his finger was enveloped by the heat of Levi’s insides. “God, I want you so bad.”

Levi pulled away to mutter, “Then hurry the fuck up,” before circling his tongue around Erwin’s nipple and switching to the left one, giving that one the same attention before taking it into his mouth.

Erwin groaned and moved his finger around inside of Levi slowly before pressing in a second. He fingered him a little more hurriedly, trying to hurry the fuck up like Levi had requested. He could feel himself leaking pre-cum onto the bed, breath heavy at Levi ministrations on his chest. Erwin added a third finger, fucking Levi steadily and using his free hand to tug Levi away from his chest and into another kiss.

“I’m ready,” Levi whispered between kisses. “I’m ready, Erwin. Please.”

Erwin nodded and pulled his fingers out slowly, taking off his pants and boxers. He pulled on the condom and Levi turned around, sticking his ass out. Erwin sighed at the sight of his stretched, puffy opening, rubbing his cock across it a few times before starting to push in. Levi moaned and lifted his thigh up a little to help Erwin sink in deeper.

“Oh it’s so big,” Levi groaned, legs twitching. “Holy fuck.”

Erwin grunted as he bottomed out, almost unable to believe this was happening. He sat all the way inside Levi for a few moments to get him used to the feeling before he began to rock back and forth, gripping Levi around the waist and bringing him back on his cock.

“Fuck,” Erwin groaned. “You feel so good.”

Levi took a second to get his bearings before he started meeting Erwin thrust for thrust, moaning and circling his hips back on Erwin’s cock over and over again. Erwin sighed contently - fuck Levi looked so good like this. It was almost too much for Erwin to handle.

“Mmm,” Levi hummed. “Oh god. Keep fucking me, baby, that’s right.”

Erwin panted and snapped his hips into Levi’s ass, the skin starting to get red from being smacked so many times. Levi moaned and reached a hand back to grip at Erwin’s ass and encourage him to keep going.

“I’m gonna cum,” Erwin breathed heavily. “I’m gonna fucking cum. Holy shit.”

“Touch me,” Levi pleaded. “Please, please touch me, Erwin!”

Erwin groaned and reached around, starting to jerk at Levi’s erection as he fucked Levi a little more wildly. He was chasing his orgasm now, unable to stop himself as his mind became delirious with pleasure.

Levi cried out as he came in spurts across the sheets, and Erwin couldn’t handle the sight, cumming inside of the condom and sighing at the feeling as he burrowed himself in deep. Levi groaned as Erwin pulled out, slowly turning around to press a deep kiss to Erwin’s lips.

There was a loud knock at the door, and the two of them went wide-eyed. Levi blushed horribly as he heard Nile call out Erwin’s name, and Erwin hurriedly went to pull up his pants. God dammit Nile, Erwin thought to himself. Why do you have to be so damn nosy?

Levi pulled his top sheet off and threw it in his hamper before tugging his pants back on. Erwin went to the door and opened it a crack, “What do you want?”

Nile stared at him for a moment, “Was just wondering where you went off to. It’s been almost an hour.”

Erwin shrugged, “Just hanging out.”

Nile rolled his eyes a little, clearly not believing him. He sniffed before frowning, eyes widening, “Did… Did you…?”

Erwin knew that Nile had figured out that he’d had sex with Levi just from the smell, and Levi quickly came up behind Erwin, slamming the door in Nile’s face, “Sorry Nile! None of your fucking business!”

He locked the door, and Erwin couldn’t help himself. He started giggling at what Levi had done. Nile was going to be so pissed, and Erwin could already hear the lecture Nile was going to give him when he got back to their room. But for now, he was just laughing at the thought, and at the fact that Levi had slammed the door on him.

Levi giggled too, leaning up to share a kiss with Erwin before whispering, “You can stay in here for awhile. Avoid the stick in the mud.”

Erwin smiled and nodded, “Sure.”

“Ada Annaliese Smith!” Levi called up the stairs, “If you don’t get down here in the next five minutes, you’re going to miss your bus!”

Tillo, their fifteen-year-old son, was sitting at the kitchen table with Erwin, eating some toast before the school bus came to get the kids. Tillo was a good kid: always got good grades, never got into trouble, was generally pleasant and kind to those around him. Ada, their seventeen-year-old, was a different story entirely. Levi saw his rebellious side in the teen. She wore a lot of black clothing, dark makeup, had piercings and was planning tattoos for when she turned 18. She rejected the social norm - wouldn’t listen and generally did what she wanted. And right now, she was refusing to go to school, holed up in her room.

There was no response, and Levi grumbled swears under his breath, pointing up the stairs as he turned to Erwin and huffed, “Go get your daughter! She still hasn’t gotten out of bed, and the bus is about to be here!”

Erwin set down his coffee and got up, “Yes, dear.”

He walked up the stairs calmly, not fired up and angry with his daughter like Levi was. For some reason, Erwin was better at understanding Ada’s moods. She wasn’t rude to him. In fact, she seemed to respect him, so Levi wasn’t sure why he and Ada didn’t get along and argued constantly.

“Ada, darling,” Erwin knocked gently on her bedroom door, “Honey, please open the door. Tell me why you don’t want to go to school today.”

“I’m protesting!” Levi heard the girl shout, “I’m staging a stay-in! The school has an unfair dress-code!”

Levi rolled his eyes, crossing his arms, “She’s only saying that because they wouldn’t let her wear a shirt with swear words on it!”

“It’s none of your damn business!” Ada yelled from her room, having heard her father’s words, “I should be allowed to wear what I want!”

Levi could understand where she was coming from, but the fact that she was choosing now of all times to put on this act was frustrating. She’d already missed so many days of school that she was close to truancy, and her grades weren’t that great as it was.

Erwin sighed, hands on his hips as he looked between Levi and the closed door before knocking again, “Sweetheart, don’t swear at your dad. Come on, let’s talk this through. Let me in.”

“Bus is here!” Tillo called, getting up and grabbing his backpack. He walked by Levi, kissing his father on the cheek, “Bye Dad,” before waving up at Erwin, “Bye Papa!”

Levi smiled briefly at their son, Erwin calling a goodbye to him as the boy rushed out the front door. But Levi was really getting furious now. He stormed up the stairs as Ada opened the door for her papa, and before Erwin could even go in, Levi pushed past his husband, going to stand in the doorway and face his daughter with an angry look.

“You’ve missed the bus now!” Levi scolded, “You’re going to make your papa and I late to work!”

“Just go to work!” Ada retorted, throwing her hands up in the air, “Let me stay home from school! I don’t see what’s the big deal!”

Levi could feel himself getting more and more furious with each passing second, letting out an exasperated sigh, “Ada! You’ve missed so much school already! What is the deal with you? Why can’t you-”

“Be more like your brother?” Ada mimicked Levi’s voice mockingly, finishing his sentence for him, “I’m not Tillo, Dad! I’m a different person!”

“Come on now, you two,” Erwin stepped into the room to stand between them, “Let’s not argue. Levi, don’t compare her to her brother, and Ada, sweetie, you know that you’ve missed a lot of school already. Your father and I are worried about you getting truancy. That’s why Dad’s so upset.”

“I don’t care!” Ada stomped her foot, “I don’t care about stupid school! I’m not going!”

“Then I’m going to stay home with you to make sure you don’t run off!” Levi growled, pointing a finger at her, “You’re not playing hooky today - you’ll be doing homework and chores, that’s it!”

Ada shot him a furious glare, fists at her sides as she screamed, “Get out of my room!”

Erwin breathed through his nose as he stared between Levi and Ada with widened eyes, knowing Levi wouldn’t take kindly to being screamed at. Levi could feel his blood boiling. He was trying to remember what Erwin always said to him about losing his temper: matching her energy won’t get you anywhere. But he couldn’t help himself.

“Ada!” He raised his voice, so loud that he could see behind the rebellious spirit there was a hint of fear in her eyes, “You’re grounded!”

With that, Levi left the room, hearing Ada’s breath hitch before he heard her following after him, “W-Wait! Wait! You can’t ground me! I have a party to go to tonight!”

Erwin sounded frustrated, rubbing his forehead in stress as he followed after them, sighing, “Levi, come on. We can work this out. You know Ada’s been looking forward to that party for weeks.”

“Dad… Dad!” Ada tried again, “Dad, come on. You can’t ground me!”

Levi could hear how regretful she sounded, and momentarily felt a little bad. He sat down in the living room, his daughter and husband piling into the room after him. Erwin took a seat next to Levi, looking significantly stressed. He was used to being the in between person of their fights, and it was certainly tiring - Levi could tell.

“Ada,” Levi frowned, taking in a deep breath to try and calm himself, “I won’t have you shouting at me like that. And I won’t have you continuing to miss school. I know you don’t like it there, but you have to go. You could get in trouble if you don’t.”

“I… I’ll go,” Ada backtracked, “I’ll go to school, just drop me off. I’ll go! Just please, please don’t ground me - I really want to go to the party tonight.”

She had tears in her eyes now, clearly feeling bad about the exchange they’d just had. But Levi stood his ground. He didn’t want to cave in. Ada was acting ridiculous, and it was Levi’s job as her father to let her know that that behavior wasn’t acceptable.

“Ada,” he frowned, “I’m putting my foot down. You’re grounded - no party.”

Ada’s eyes were quickly welling up, and she turned on her heel, heading back up into her room and slamming the door behind her. Levi could hear her crying as soon as the door closed, her loud sniffles and sobs echoing down the hall. Levi was feeling a little bad. He didn’t like to make his daughter cry.

“Levi,” Erwin tried, placing a hand on Levi’s shoulder, “Listen, I have to go to work. But you need to have a talk with her. You know how much she’s looked forwards to this party. Grounding her right now is only going to make her resent you more.”

Levi sighed, thinking his husband was probably right. As much as he wanted to make sure Ada knew that behavior wasn’t right, he also didn’t want her to hate him. And they’d been arguing a lot lately. He kissed Erwin goodbye, watching his husband leave for work before he went to Ada’s door and knocked lightly.

“Go away!” Ada sobbed, “Go away!”

Levi slowly opened her door, seeing the teen sprawled out across her bed, shoulders shaking with sobs. Levi walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, reaching a hand out to rub her back. She shrugged him off at first before allowing him to comfort her.

“Honey,” Levi murmured, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. I shouldn’t have raised my voice.”

Ada sniffled, turning her face so she could speak, as it had been previously buried in the pillow, “I… I shouldn’t have yelled either.”

“Well, you’re a teenager,” Levi brushed some hair from her face, “You’re going to get upset and angry with me from time to time. You’re going through a rough time in your life. And it’s my job as the parent to try and understand you, not to yell at you, or ground you when I get frustrated.”

Ada rubbed her eyes, “I… I’m sorry for getting so upset, Dad. It’s just… I don’t want to go to school. It makes me feel so anxious. And nobody gets me there.”

“I know, sweetie,” Levi leaned over and kissed her forehead, “But Papa and I just don’t want you to get into trouble. You’re a senior now, you don’t have much time left. And if you want to, Papa and I will look into getting you some medication for your anxiety, or you could see a therapist. Whatever would help, just talk to us, okay?”

Ada nodded, smiling sadly up her father, “Okay… thanks Dad. Do I… Do I still have to go to school?”

Levi shook his head, “No baby. How’s this? I’ll take the day off work, and we can go to the mall; find you an outfit for the party. Would you like to do that?”

Ada’s face lit up a little, “Really? Can we?”

There’s that sweet girl I know, Levi thought to himself cheerfully. Sure, sometimes Ada could be a handful, she could be a real brat when she wanted to, but she was a good kid. And Levi loved her very much.

Levi and Erwin were sitting at home that night after Ada had been picked up by some friends to go to the party. Erwin was very happy with how Levi had handled the situation, and Levi felt good about it too. He’d taken her to the mall and she’d found a cute black skirt and long-sleeved black floral top to go with it, some heels as well.

Tillo was sleeping over at a friend’s house, since it was a Friday, and the two of them had the night to themselves. They were snuggled up on the couch, drinking wine while watching a movie together.

That’s when Levi’s cell phone rang. He grabbed it off the coffee table, seeing that it was Ada, and he picked up immediately. She didn’t call often, so he knew something must’ve been wrong if she was calling him from the party.

“Ada?” He answered the phone.

“Dad,” Ada sniffled, sounding like she’d been crying, “You gotta come get me.”

“Is everything okay?” Levi asked, growing concerned now, “What’s going on, honey?”

Erwin was looking worried too, trying to lean in so he could hear what Ada was saying. He could hear Ada sob quietly, and felt a pit in his stomach at hearing his child cry like this. She sounded so upset.

“Don’t get mad,” Ada sniveled, “I… I’m a little drunk.”

Levi frowned, not saying anything at first. He wasn’t an idiot. He’d figured there would be booze at this party - it was a high school party after all, so he wasn’t mad at Ada for partaking. But he was worried about her. He wanted her to be safe, to be okay.

“It’s okay, baby,” Levi replied, getting off the couch, “Papa and I will come get you right away, okay? You send us the address and we’ll come get you.”

“That’s… That’s not it,” Ada whimpered, “Something else happened.”

Levi could feel his stomach sink, his heart beating fast as he rushed to the door to grab his keys, Erwin following swiftly behind him. The two were already on their way out the door as Ada explained what happened: she’d been alone in a room with a boy she liked, making out with him. He’d tried to move things further, but she had been resistant and hadn’t wanted to continue.

“He… He…” Ada was practically hyperventilating now, “He tried to have sex with me, but I… I managed to get away. I’m sitting in the bathroom right now by myself. I locked the door.”

Levi didn’t need to know the details; all he knew was that he wanted Ada to be safe. Ada sent him the address, and they began to drive to the party, Levi staying on the phone with Ada so he could try and keep her calm. Levi put his hand over the speakers and told Erwin what was going on before going back to talking to his daughter as they drove. He was feeling a range of emotions: anxiety, fear, and also anger. He was furious that some boy thought it was okay to try and force sex on his daughter. If Ada had wanted sex, it would’ve been a different story - sure, he wouldn’t have been thrilled, but he would’ve been supportive of her. They’d already talked about safe sex before, about boundaries, and he was glad now that they’d had that conversation. Otherwise, Ada might’ve just let the boy do what he wanted without her consent.

They pulled up to the party, and Ada was waiting out on the front porch, tearfully wiping her eyes. Levi hung up the phone and got out of the car, walking down the path and towards her with a purpose. As soon as they were close enough, she threw her arms around him, hugging him tight and crying into his shoulder. She was shaking, and Levi could see bruising on her wrists from where the boy had grabbed at her.

“Where is he?” Levi asked, trying to remain calm, “Where is the bastard? I’ll fucking kill him.”

Ada shook her head, letting go of Levi in favor of hugging her papa. Erwin hugged her close, kissing the top of her head and rubbing her back soothingly. Levi ripped the front door open, walking inside the party and seeing a crowd of teenagers drinking. They stopped upon hearing the door burst open, staring at the adult with wide eyes.

“Which one of you horny little fuck boys touched my daughter?” Levi growled, “Tell me. Now.”

Levi’s eyes scanned the crowd, seeing a boy holding his bloody nose. That had to be him. Levi had taught Ada how to break a nose, and why else would this boy have that injury?

“Is that him?” Levi pointed, turning to Ada, who was peeking out from Erwin’s arms.

She nodded a little, Erwin whispering soothing things to his daughter to try and keep her anxieties at a low. Levi tore through the crowd and straight for the boy, who was staring with wide eyes, looking terrified.

“Look man,” he held up his free hand in innocence, “She was asking for it, okay? Don’t you see how short her skirt is?”

Levi was seeing red, gritting his teeth as he clenched his fists at his sides. But he couldn’t just beat up a kid, and this guy looked like he was under 18, like he assumed most of the kids here were. He wasn’t about to go to jail over some dumb kid who thought it was okay to touch girls without their permission.

So he grabbed the kid by the ear and dragged him back through the crowd, hearing the kid whimpering “ow ow ow” as he pulled him out onto the front porch. Erwin and Ada kept their distance, as Ada clearly didn’t want to be anywhere near the guy.

“Give me your phone,” Levi let go of the boy’s ear and held out his hand expectantly. The boy handed over his phone, and Levi used it to call the boy’s mother, informing her of the situation. The mother apologized profusely, stating that she didn’t even know her son was at a party, and that she’d be coming to pick him up immediately.

With that, Levi tossed the phone back at the kid and shot him a furious glare, pointing a finger at him, “If I find out you touch another girl without her permission, especially my daughter, I won’t hesitate to show up at your front door. Got it?”

The boy nodded, eyes wide and scared. Good, Levi thought, taking his daughter’s hand and starting to lead her to the car with Erwin. The three of them had a pretty silent ride home, as Levi wasn’t sure really what to say. He could hear Ada sniffling in the back seat, feeling incredibly bad for her.

“Ada, darling,” Erwin asked as he gripped the wheel a little tighter with worry, “Are you hurt? Do you think we need to go to the hospital?”

Ada shook her head, “N-No… he didn’t get that far. I head butted him in the nose, just like you taught me, Dad.”

“Good job, baby,” Levi smiled sadly, watching her through the rear view mirror, “I’m so proud of you.”

Ada smiled back at him through tears before wiping her eyes, “Dad, Papa? Can we watch a movie when we get home?”

“Anything you want, honey,” Erwin replied, pulling into the driveway moments later, “We can watch whatever you want to.”

Levi got out of the car, opening Ada’s door. She climbed out, holding tightly to Levi’s hand as they walked into the house. The three of them sat on the couch, Ada in the middle, as they put on a movie she liked.

Erwin wrapped an arm around both Ada and Levi, his arms being long enough to do so as the two were pretty small compared to him. Levi held her hand and soothingly rubbed at the bruises on her wrists, pressing kisses to them every once in a while.

Soon enough, Ada was asleep in their arms, and Erwin carried her up to her bed. Levi wasn’t sure where they were going to go from here. All he knew was that he and Erwin would take care of Ada as best as they could, and he wouldn’t let anyone hurt her again.

00:00:00:00:03:57:43

0 years, 0 months, 0 weeks, 0 days, 3 hours, 57 minutes, and 43 seconds…42, 41, 40…

Levi stared at the numbers on his wrists, smiling as he saw the seconds going down. Only about 4 hours until he could meet his soulmate. He’d waited so long: he was 25 now, and he’d already felt like he’d waited forever. His best friend, Pieck, had the same number on her wrist - the same amount of time to wait. The only reason he knew that she wasn’t his soulmate was because he’d met her at a young age - when they were only 13, and their soulmate numbers still had 12 years left on them. Plus, he was pretty certain he was gay. In his years waiting for his soulmate, he’d hooked up with several men.

Pieck would be coming over soon. They were going to get ready and go to the coffee shop, waiting there until their soulmates showed up. It was all destiny that was leading them, and Pieck and Levi had both had dreams of going to the coffee shop to meet their soulmates, so they knew where they should go.

Levi was busy getting ready: he’d showered, and was busy doing his hair and shaving everywhere he could get to on his body. There was a mating ritual that would happen on the first night with his soulmate, and his numbers were blue, which meant that he was going to be on the receiving end of things. The people with the red numbers were usually on top.

Pieck soon showed up at his door with 1 hour left on their wrists, giddy and excited as she wore a nice floral dress. He smiled at her, looping his arm through hers as they headed to the coffee shop together. Today was finally the day.

“You look so good, Lee,” Pieck giggled. “I’m so excited. Are you?”

Levi nodded, “Yeah. I wonder how they’re going to look. Do you think they’re as excited as we are?”

“They must be,” Pieck decided. “How could they not?”

Levi chuckled softly and led her to the coffee shop. Levi saw them as soon as they walked in. Two men sitting at a booth across the café, sipping on coffees and laughing together. They were both blonde, one with a beard and one clean-shaven. Pieck instantly noticed them too, squeezing Levi’s hand in excitement.

The men looked over as Levi and Pieck approached, smiles on their faces. They rose to greet them, and Levi checked his wrist, which was counting down the seconds to zero: three… two… one. He looked up at the bearded man, who held out his hand to him.

“I’m Zeke,” he introduced.

Levi smiled. His soulmate. He shook Zeke’s hand shyly while Pieck shook the clean-shaven man’s hand, who introduced himself as Erwin. The four of them sat together, and Pieck was surprised at how quickly Pieck and Erwin were getting along. By the end of their coffee together, they were laughing at each other’s jokes, and Pieck was clinging to Erwin’s arm.

Levi was nervous. He was excited too, but mostly nervous. He wanted to make sure that Zeke would like him - he didn’t want to be a bad soulmate. Zeke reached under the table to squeeze Levi’s thigh gently, and Levi blushed horribly from the action.

He scooted a little closer to Zeke, deciding to make a move by taking Zeke’s hand into his own. Zeke smiled at him and started running his thumb gently over Levi’s skin. The four finished up their coffee and said their goodbyes. Levi was going to Zeke’s and Pieck to Erwin’s so they could continue on with the mating ritual. Levi was incredibly nervous for that. He’d had sex before, but this was the sex. Having sex with your soulmate was supposed to be special.

Levi held tightly to Zeke’s hand as he unlocked the door to his apartment and let Levi inside. The two walked in and Zeke shut the door behind them. Zeke instantly took Levi’s face into his hands and leaned in to kiss him. Levi squeaked in some surprise. Already? He thought. I just got here. But he supposed he didn’t mind though. This way they could just get it over with.

The two moved things into the bedroom, and Zeke didn’t waste any time in getting them both in the nude, peeling Levi’s clothes off one by one. Levi got up on all fours when Zeke requested him to. Zeke took out the lube and began to prep him, and Levi was breathing heavily, wondering if this was really how their first time was going to go. He’d always thought he and his soulmate would lay atop one another, make love and share sweet kisses. But by the time things got going, Zeke was just pounding him from behind. And Levi didn’t mind that too much - it felt really good, and he was moaning and mewling at the feeling. But he’d just expected something completely different, and the sex honestly didn’t feel very special. The two fell asleep together, Zeke passing out without even bothering to cuddle Levi, who loved to cuddle after sex. Levi waited for him to fall asleep before he snuggled up to him, feeling a little sick to his stomach with worry since he was feeling so incredibly off about this whole thing.

~Two Months Later~

Levi was in the bathroom crying again. He and Zeke weren’t getting along. They argued all the time, and just simply weren’t getting along. They’d just had a huge argument over wanting children - Levi wanted kids, though he didn’t mind waiting for them, but Zeke absolutely refused to consider the idea. It had sent Levi into a spiral, and that was why he was crying now. Wasn’t your soulmate supposed to be someone you got along with?

That’s when he got a text from Pieck:

Call me. We need to talk.

Levi wiped his tears and gave her a call. Pieck was crying too when she picked up the phone, and Levi immediately knew something was wrong. What was going on with Pieck that she was so upset?

“I’m pregnant,” she sobbed. “I didn’t want to be pregnant. Fuck.”

Levi frowned, “Oh Pieck, I’m so sorry. What did Erwin say?”

Levi knew that Pieck wasn’t one for kids. She’d never wanted them. Levi felt a drop in his gut. He knew that the state they lived in had strict abortion laws, and he wondered if she was too far along now to get one.

“He’s excited,” Pieck sniffled. “He wants a kid so badly but I… I don’t. We’ve been arguing about it for days now. I just don’t understand… I thought that your soulmate was supposed to be the perfect person for you.”

A sudden realization hit Levi. He wanted kids, Erwin wanted kids… Pieck didn’t want kids, Zeke didn’t want kids. Had they accidentally traded soulmates? They must’ve picked the wrong person when they met at the coffee shop!

“Pieck,” Levi spoke excitedly. “Do you think we picked the wrong soulmate at the coffee shop?”

Pieck paused, hiccuping quietly, “You think so?”

Levi explained his thinking, and soon Pieck was in complete agreement with him. By the time they got off the phone, Levi was buzzing with excitement. He didn’t have to stay with Zeke because Zeke wasn’t his soulmate. Zeke was Pieck’s soulmate, and Erwin was his. They would simply have to trade back, and make everything right.

Zeke came home from work that afternoon, and Levi sat him down for a conversation. By that evening, the four of them were meeting at a restaurant, and Levi was made to sit next to Erwin instead, Pieck and Zeke sitting next to one another on the other side of the booth.

Levi watched Pieck and Zeke get along swimmingly, and he felt a lot better about the situation. Erwin wrapped an arm around him and pressed a kiss to the top of Levi’s head, and Levi could feel himself blushing furiously. Something about the kiss felt so right, and Levi just knew that switching soulmates was the right decision.

“So what are you going to do about the baby?” Levi asked Pieck.

“Give it up for adoption,” Pieck decided, rubbing a hand over her stomach. “I don’t want kids. And Zeke doesn’t either.”

Levi turned to look at Erwin before squeezing his thigh gently, and Erwin read his mind, “We’ll take the baby.”

Levi could feel excitement coursing through him as he nodded in agreement, and Pieck sighed happily, “Aww. That’d be so sweet. Of course you can take the baby.”

Levi giggled happily and hugged onto Erwin, burrowing his face in Erwin’s shoulder. Erwin smiled and kissed his cheek, both of them vibrating with the excitement that they were going to have a kid together. Levi knew this felt right. It felt so right to be with Erwin.

Erwin saw it happen. He was charging through the barrage of rocks, soldiers falling on his left and right as they were hit. He glanced up, seeing Levi flying through the air towards the Beast Titan, spinning so fast that Erwin could barely see him. His swords tore through the nape of the Beast Titan’s neck, yanking Zeke out. Erwin felt pride fill his chest: I knew he could do it.

He stopped his horse, hopping down and holding onto the bridle. But as Levi pulled Zeke out of the Titan, the Cart Titan appeared out of nowhere, tearing Zeke and Levi from the Beast Titan’s form and throwing Levi to the ground hard, putting Zeke on her back.

Erwin’s heart nearly stopped in his chest: he watched in slow motion as Levi’s body fell from the Beast Titan - well, it was more like a forceful throw that had him landing hard on the ground. Erwin didn’t even realize a scream tore from his throat at the sight of Levi, laying in the mud motionless. He let go of his horse, figuring he could track her down later, and ran across the battlefield to Levi as Zeke and the Cart Titan retreated.

“Levi!” Erwin called, collapsing into the dirt as he kneeled at Levi’s body. Levi’s eyes were open, by some miracle, still alive. He looked almost in shock, as if he couldn’t believe what had happened to him.

“E… Erwin…” Levi coughed, blood sputtering from his lips and dribbling down his chin. He’d fallen quite a long way, and likely had a lot of internal as well as external damage to his body and organs.

“Levi,” Erwin desperately examined his body to find the source of any external bleeding, but couldn’t find any: just broken bones and internal hemorrhaging, “Levi… what hurts?”

It was a stupid question to ask, but Erwin just didn’t know what to do. He’d experienced many a friend’s death, but never a friend that he was so close to, a friend who he’d never imagined would die in front of him.

“My… My chest,” Levi coughed, blood staining his white cravat now as he spat up more blood, “Oh god… Erwin…”

“Shh,” Erwin cooed, taking Levi’s hand carefully into his own, “What can I do, Levi? Tell me what to do.”

He wanted to help, but he didn’t know how. He was frantic, eyes darting around Levi’s broken body as he tried to decide what to do. When had he become so panicked and unable to think? He’d always been so level-headed and quick to act, but not right now. Not in this moment where he was watching Levi’s life slip away before his eyes.

“Fuck,” Levi swore, breathing ragged as he stared up towards the sky, “I… I don’t feel good. Just… Just hold onto me, okay?”

Erwin nodded, wrapping his arms around Levi without hesitation and cradling his upper body in his arms carefully, not wanting to disturb any broken bones. Levi groaned in pain at the movement, sniffling and staring up at Erwin with tears in his eyes.

“Levi…” Erwin swallowed thickly, painfully, a lump in his throat as he fought back tears. He had to be strong for his friend; he couldn’t break down in Levi’s final moments. But Levi was… he was more than a friend. Erwin had known it for a long time, though he’d never voiced it. Levi was… well, he was everything to Erwin: his partner, his confidant, his most trusted companion. How was he supposed to live without him?

“Erwin,” Levi’s eyes were welling up as he stared up at him, eyes searching for something in Erwin’s, “Please… Please don’t leave me here.”

“I won’t,” Erwin promised, “I won’t leave you here. I’ll take you home. You’ll… You’ll be okay, Levi. It’ll all be okay.”

“I… Erwin,” Levi whimpered, coughing up blood again, “Erwin, I’m not gonna be okay.”

“That’s not true,” Erwin insisted, fully in denial as he shook his head, “Levi, you’re the strongest person I know. You’ll make it through this.”

“I’m not gonna make it,” Levi sniffled, tears rolling down his cheeks, “Erwin… please take my body home. Don’t… Don’t leave me here. I want to be buried - I don’t want to be Titan food.”

Erwin couldn’t even believe what he was hearing. Levi wasn’t going to die, was he? He couldn’t. Levi was humanity’s strongest soldier; he just couldn’t die. Erwin shook his head stubbornly, fingers carding through Levi’s black locks.

“N-No,” Erwin sniffled, “Levi… Levi, you’re not going to-”

“Erwin,” Levi begged, eyes pleading, “Please.”

Erwin sucked in a deep breath, trying to keep himself together. He had to accept this: Levi was dying, and there was nothing in the world he could do to stop it. He held Levi a little closer, tears threatening to spill over his eyelids.

“Okay,” Erwin gave in, “Okay, Levi. I’ll take your body home. I promise I will.”

Levi’s face instantly relaxed, looking a little more at peace now as he sighed, “Thank you.”

Erwin couldn’t help it as his lower lip wobbled, hearing Levi’s strained breaths. Levi had lived such a short life - he couldn’t go now. There were so many things the two of them hadn’t gotten to do, and they were so close to finding the answers to all their questions.

“L-Levi…” Erwin sniveled sadly, “Levi, you can’t go. We were going to see the ocean together.”

Levi smiled sadly up at him - the first time Erwin had seen Levi smile in some time - and reached a shaky hand up to touch Erwin’s face. His hand was covered in blood, but Erwin didn’t care. He placed his hand on top of Levi’s, holding it to his cheek.

“I see it every time I look into your eyes, Ervy,” Levi whispered, tears flowing down his face as he stared into Erwin’s deep blue eyes.

Erwin bit his lip to stop it from wobbling, looking away from Levi briefly. He had to say it - he needed Levi to know. He let out a deep breath, closing his eyes as he murmured, “Levi, I… I love you.”

But it was silent.

Erwin opened his eyes quickly, seeing Levi’s eyes still open, but staring off into the distance. His hand had grown cold on Erwin’s cheek, only staying there because Erwin was holding it there still. Levi was dead.

Day 1

Erwin groaned as his vision faded in and out. He was laying on the beach, and his tail was gone. Legs, he thought, looking down at the limbs. I have legs. He tried to sit up, his vision blacking out briefly before his eyes adjusted. The last thing he remembered was making a deal with the sea warlock, Zeke. He’d taken Erwin’s voice in exchange for giving him legs, and told him he had three days to make the king, Levi, fall in love with him.

Erwin heard loud barking, and saw an animal bounding towards him across the beach. He shrieked as the animal jumped onto him, licking at his face and barking cheerfully. Erwin was frozen in fear, and he heard a voice call for the creature to come back. The animal’s name was Duck, though Erwin knew what ducks looked like, and this wasn’t it. He looked up, wiping his face of the disgusting slobber the animal had given him across his face.

King Levi was standing on the beach, looking at the naked form of Erwin in some confusion. Erwin immediately blushed horribly at the sight of the man, smiling at him to show he wasn’t a threat. Levi rushed to his side, looking concerned.

“Oh my god, are you alright?” He asked, taking off his cloak and wrapping it around Erwin’s shoulders, trying to cover him up.

Erwin went to answer, then remembering he couldn’t speak. He opened his mouth, but no words would come out. The king looked at him with even greater worry, rubbing his back soothingly and trying to help him to his feet. But Erwin had never walked before, and he struggled to stand. The king was strong, thankfully, because he held Erwin up the best he could, dragging him across the beach as Erwin tried his best to keep up, barely able to keep his feet under him.

“It’ll be okay,” Levi reassured him. “I’ll take good care of you.”

Erwin could feel his heart melting. This was everything he’d wanted. Surely it would be easy to get Levi to kiss him, wouldn’t it? He was already so in love with the king, how could the king not feel the same about him?

Levi helped Erwin back to the castle with Duck. The animal was quite friendly, yipping and barking the whole way to the castle. Levi had some servants bring Erwin into a bathroom where they cleaned and dressed him, and then showed him to a room he could stay in. Everyone was being very nice to him, and Erwin was wishing he could thank them for all of it.

“You’ve been invited to dinner with the king,” one of the servants announced as they entered Erwin’s bedroom. “Come along.”

Erwin got up, tugging at the fancy suit he’d been made the wear and following the servant down the hall towards a grand dining room. He was still wobbly on his legs, making his way down the hallway and into the dining room. Levi sat at the end of the table, smiling sweetly at Erwin as he walked in.

“Ah,” Levi greeted. “Hi there. You feel a little better now?”

Erwin nodded hastily, wanting to please Levi. Plus, he was feeling better. He went to sit down next to Levi, the servant pulling out a chair for him before he sat down. He wasn’t sure what the hell kind of food was on his plate as he began to eat, but it tasted good. The room was fairly silent as they ate, though Levi appeared as though he wanted to say something.

“So,” Levi cleared his throat. “You’re… You’re mute, then?”

Erwin wasn’t familiar with that term, and he tilted his head in confusion, Levi explaining, “You can’t speak.”

Erwin nodded again. He supposed he was mute, at least for the moment. He continued to eat, glancing over to Levi every once in a while. The king was just so handsome, and Erwin couldn’t help but stare. Levi looked up, catching his gaze. The two of them both blushed, and Erwin looked away, continuing to eat as he tried to think of how he might get the king to kiss him.

“Do you write?” Levi asked. “Could you write down your name?”

Erwin nodded eagerly, and Levi quickly asked a servant for some pen and paper. These things were brought to Erwin, who hadn’t written much at all before underwater. But he knew how to spell his name, and he scrawled out in childlike letters: ERWIN.

“Erwin?” Levi smiled. “That’s your name?”

Erwin nodded, smiling back at Levi. Levi reached out his hand carefully, readjusting the pen in Erwin’s hand, “Here. It’s much easier to hold it this way, Erwin. Try again.”

Erwin tried writing his name again, and he did find it much easier this way than simply gripping it in his fist. He was holding it more gracefully now between his fingers, and his handwriting turned out a bit better than before.

“Good job,” Levi praised, sitting back in his seat as the servants began to clear the plates. “Erwin… would you like to come on a walk with me?”

Erwin blushed, but nodded. He would go anywhere Levi asked him to - he’d even walk off a cliff if the king requested it. Levi stood and held his hand out to Erwin, who took it shyly. The two began to walk from the dining hall and out of the castle, walking among the gardens on the castle grounds. Levi began to tell him all sorts of things: about where he’d grown up, how he’d become king, etc.

They ended their romantic walk by Levi taking Erwin back to his room. Erwin had picked some flowers and placed them in Levi’s hair, much to Levi’s great embarrassment - he’d turned a deep shade of red at Erwin’s actions. They were holding hands as they stood in front of Erwin’s door, and Erwin was waiting for Levi to kiss him. The two of them leaned in closer to one another, and Levi surprised Erwin by pressing a kiss to Erwin’s cheek, rather than his lips. Erwin was confused. Why hadn’t Levi kissed him on the lips?

“Goodnight, Erwin,” Levi pulled away, letting go of his hands.

Erwin waved lightly at him as he began to walk away, feeling like he’d missed his chance at getting his true love’s kiss.

Day 2

The next day, Levi told Erwin he was having a ball later that evening to celebrate Erwin’s safe rescue from the sea. Erwin was honored that Levi would think of throwing a party for him, and he was both excited and nervous for the ball. He spent all day fretting over it, changing into various outfits Levi had brought for him to choose from, combing his hair and trying to look his very best.

Finally, around dinnertime, he heard a knock on his door, and he opened it to see Levi standing there all dressed up in a nice suit. Erwin could feel those butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Levi was just so handsome. The king held his arm out for Erwin to take, and Erwin took it gently, letting Levi lead him down to the ballroom where all the people were gathered.

They entered the room to a crowd of people cheering for them, and Erwin was incredibly nervous. He waved shyly at the people, and the music began to play. Levi let go of Erwin’s arm and offered up his hand, asking, “Would you care to dance?”

Erwin nodded sheepishly, and Levi took Erwin into his arms, wrapping an arm around Erwin’s waist and the other in Erwin’s hand as he began to sway them to the music. Erwin was so smitten. He’d never been so in love before. He’d been dreaming about the king for months now, and here he was, dancing with him on the dance floor, being held by him and swayed around.

Erwin caught Levi’s gaze, and the two stared into one another’s eyes for a long time, Levi smiling up at him sweetly. The two began to lean closer and closer to one another, and Erwin’s eyes were half-closed as they nearly sealed their lips together…

Crash! - a servant accidentally spilled drinks all over Levi’s suit, causing him to gasp and pull away from Erwin. Erwin frowned, and the servant apologized profusely, taking out their handkerchief to try and clean him up.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Levi sighed. “I’ll go change. I’ll be back, Erwin.”

Levi left, and Erwin nearly gasped in shock. The servant was Zeke, the sea warlock, in a human form. Zeke smirked at Erwin, chuckling darkly under his breath and whispering, “Good luck, Ervy.”

Zeke sauntered away with a grin on his face, and Erwin almost couldn’t believe it. Zeke was sabotaging his chances with Levi? He only had one more day to get Levi to kiss him before his soul was taken by Zeke, and he was starting to worry that he had no chance.

Day 3

The two were out in a boat on the sea the next day, enjoying the nice weather. Levi had insisted on taking Erwin out on the sea, and Erwin had agreed easily. He was hoping this would give him the chance to kiss Levi.

Levi stopped rowing and let the oars rest in their holders, scooting forwards on the seat so that he and Erwin were closer together. Erwin was blushing, holding his knees to his chest as he sat on the seat of the rowboat.

“You know, Erwin,” Levi murmured, resting a hand on Erwin’s cheek. “I’ve been falling for you since I first saw you on that beach.”

Erwin could feel his face growing redder, and he smiled sweetly at Levi, nodding in agreement to try and show him he felt the same way. God how he wished he could speak - he wanted to tell Levi how much he liked him too.

Levi ran his thumb over Erwin’s cheek, “I want to kiss you. Is that okay?”

Erwin nodded again, eyes widening slightly with excitement and surprise. He knew Levi had been wanting to kiss him, but the king seemed to be waiting for the right moment, and this appeared to be that moment.

Erwin closed his eyes and leaned forwards, puckering his lips. But just as they were about to kiss, he heard the clap of thunder and opened his eyes, seeing gray clouds overhead. It had been such a nice day. What had happened? Erwin looked towards the water, seeing Zeke’s head peeking out from under the water with a sinister grin on his face before he sunk back into the water.

A torrential downpour began, rain beating down on the boat and the two of them as the waves began to rise. Levi looked both shocked and worried, clinging to the edges of the boat. Erwin held on as well, gasping as the waves began to slosh the boat around violently.

The boat began to turn from side to side, and Levi looked incredibly panicked, but tried to keep calm, “It’ll be okay. Just hold on tight!”

But it was too late. The boat flipped, and Erwin and Levi were dumped into the sea. Levi must not have known how to swim. He was thrashing about desperately in the waves, while Erwin was managing himself quite fine despite the hectic situation. He watched in horror as Levi went under and didn’t come back up, and quickly dove below to rescue the king. He wrapped his arms around Levi’s waist and dragged him back to the surface, starting to swim towards the shore as best he could with the king under his arm. Levi was sputtering and coughing, clinging to Erwin with desperation and fear.

Erwin pulled the two of them onto the shore, breathing hard as he set Levi on the sand. Levi coughed up some water, laying back on the sand and looking horrified at the fact that he’d almost drowned. Suddenly, as fast as it had come, the rain halted, the waves calming.

Levi stared up at Erwin, who hovered over Levi, trying to make sure he was okay. He was caressing Levi’s cheek in a similar way to how Levi had been earlier, and concern was written all over his face.

“Erwin, you… you saved me,” Levi smiled lovingly at him, reaching a hand up to cradle Erwin’s cheek in his palm.

Erwin nodded, and felt Levi dragging him downwards. The two finally, finally, shared a deep kiss, lips caressing one another’s as Levi lay there on the beach. Erwin pulled away slowly, feeling giddy and dreamy and just so in love. He grinned stupidly down at Levi.

“I like you so much, Erwin,” Levi whispered.

“I like you too,” Erwin murmured back, somewhat shocked as he suddenly remembered his curse was broken. He had his voice back.

Levi stared up at Erwin in shock, “You… You can talk?”

Erwin nodded, “I… I can…”

Levi sat up slowly and took Erwin’s face into his hands, kissing him again, “You have the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard, Erwin. Come on, let’s go back to the castle, my love.”

Erwin smiled into the kiss, “Y-Yeah. Okay, Levi.”

Erwin was busy decorating his classroom, while the janitor, whose name he’d found out was Levi, busied himself by dusting the shelves and cleaning the floors. The two were working in silence, as Levi didn’t really seem the type to want to talk. Erwin was putting up history posters on the wall as Levi finished the dusting, mumbling something about being done with this room.

“Thank you for cleaning, Levi,” Erwin smiled at him kindly. “I really appreciate it.”

“It’s my job,” Levi shrugged. “Don’t worry about it.”

Erwin watched Levi walk out of the room to go clean another classroom, and he adjusted the ladder he’d been using to hang up the posters high on the wall. He reached over to pin it, and felt his foot slip on the ladder. He fell off the ladder, holding his arms out to catch his fall. He heard a loud crack as he landed on his left arm, gasping as pain shot through his body.

“Fuck!” He swore loudly, cradling his likely broken arm in his hand.

He looked up as he heard someone rush in, seeing Levi standing in the doorway with a look of worry on his face. He looked from the ladder to Erwin on the floor and frowned, rushing to Erwin’s side.

“Are you alright?” He asked. “Did you fall off the ladder?”

Erwin nodded, whimpering, “Fuck. It fucking hurts.”

“I’ll call an ambulance,” Levi quickly fished his phone from his pocket, dialing 911 and requesting an ambulance to come and get Erwin, who was groaning in pain as he held his broken arm. Levi hung up the phone soon after, reassuring Erwin that the ambulance was on its way.

“Is… Is there anything I can do to make the pain a bit better?” Levi asked, kneeling down in front of Erwin.

“Just… Just keep me distracted,” Erwin pleaded, trying to keep his breathing even as he didn’t want to panic.

Levi nodded, looking like he was trying to think of what to say or do to distract Erwin. He put on a smile, grasping Erwin’s free hand and squeezing it lightly. Erwin blushed. He’d never seen the janitor with a smile before.

“Do you want to hear a story?” Levi asked, running his thumb soothingly over Erwin’s skin.

Erwin nodded a little, mesmerized by Levi’s cute smile and beautiful features. He had the sudden urge to take Levi’s face into his hands and kiss him, but perhaps it was the delirium of the pain he was going through.

Levi stroked his thumb over Erwin’s skin, starting to tell him a story of a time when he was working at a sandwich shop and told some lady off who was being a horrible bitch to the workers.

“And then I told her to take herself and her bimbo husband out of my sandwich shop,” Levi chuckled. “I almost got fired.”

Erwin grinned and laughed, finding the story funny. Erwin winced as he moved his arm a little, groaning in pain. Levi immediately looked panicked again, squeezing Erwin’s hand and using his other hand to run his fingers through Erwin’s hair.

Erwin’s bangs had been in his face, and Levi pushed them out of his forehead, giving him soft looks that had Erwin’s heart melting. He clung to Levi’s hand, taking some deep breaths as he tried not to focus on the pain, but instead, on Levi’s gentle glances.

Levi smiled, “You’re quite the handsome guy, huh? I bet all the other teachers fawn over you, don’t they?”

Erwin blushed horribly, grinning dumbly, “I… you think I’m handsome?”

It was Levi’s turn to blush, and he went to respond when the EMTs rushed into the room, starting to care for Erwin’s broken arm. Levi moved out of the way, clearing his throat awkwardly. Erwin was put on a stretcher, and Levi said his goodbyes as they headed for the ambulance.

So Erwin started off the school year with a broken arm and a crush on the janitor.

Levi smirked and sat back in his chair, licking his lips as he watched the sexy stripper saunter into the room. He was the head of his family’s mafia, and they were throwing a party to celebrate a heist that had recently gone over well. His lackies had ordered a stripper for the party, a male stripper, as they knew how Levi and some of the other men in the room swung. And Levi was certainly enjoying the sexy blonde bombshell that had just walked into the room wearing a skimpy thong and bralette over his massive tits.

The blonde’s name was Erwin, he’d had to write a check to the man before the party had started. Erwin was walking towards him now, the music beginning in the background as Erwin’s hips swayed to the beat. Levi took a long sip of his brandy before setting it down on the table next to him. Erwin climbed into his lap and starting gyrating his hips, smiling cutely down at Levi before turning to a more innocent, lustful look.

Levi picked up a cigarette and put it between his lips, lighting it and taking a puff. He was so enamored by the sexy man dancing above him, but he knew he wasn’t allowed to touch, and that was the most difficult part of all of this. He wanted to grasp Erwin by the ass and bring him down onto his cock, make the man ride him like there was no tomorrow. But he held back.

“You’re so sexy, boss,” Erwin whispered as he leaned down, blowing gently on the shell of Levi’s ear.

Levi shivered, giving Erwin a smug look as he simply stared him down, puffing on the cigarette between his lips. He sighed contently as Erwin turned around and started dancing his hips back, hovering so close to Levi’s cock he could almost feel it. His ass was a masterpiece.

Soon, Erwin was moving onto the other men in the room, and they too were having trouble keeping their boners at bay while Erwin danced sexily and turned his hips expertly. Levi was watching him like a hawk, making sure his men were behaving. He didn’t want the poor stripper to be taken advantage of, and wanted to protect the man if he needed to.

That’s when it happened. He watched one of his men take his index finger and pull back the band of Erwin’s thong, taking a peek inside before snapping the band back against his skin. Levi moved to scold him; he watched Erwin gasp and glare down at the man, and he grasped his finger harshly, bending it back until it broke with a loud crack. Levi’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected Erwin to be able to defend himself, and holy shit had that turned him on. The man cried out, holding his broken finger in shock, and Erwin climbed off him, the whole room turning deadly silent except for the music.

“Out,” Levi snapped, putting out his cigarette. “All of you, out now.”

Erwin remained standing there while the men filed out quickly, shutting the door behind them. Erwin had his head down, frowning as he thought he was about to be scolded. But Levi could feel his cock twitching; he’d never been so turned on in his whole life just from seeing someone snap a finger.

“I’m sorry,” Erwin muttered. “I shouldn’t have-”

“Nonsense,” Levi interrupted. “He touched you - you had the right to do so.”

“So… So why did you dismiss everyone?” Erwin asked, looking up at Levi in some confusion.

Levi motioned for Erwin to come closer with his finger, humming, “Mmm… because I was going to ask if I could destroy your ass. Would you be okay with that?”

Erwin flushed a deep red before walking closer and starting to nod slowly, “Yes… Yes, sir.”

Levi grinned a bit as Erwin climbed into his lap and straddled him, fulling sitting on Levi’s cock now and starting to grind against it. Levi groaned quietly, hesitating slightly, “Can I touch you, or are you gonna break my fingers too?”

Erwin chuckled softly, “I won’t break your fingers. You can go ahead and touch.”

Levi grasped Erwin’s ass in his hands, roughly groping the skin. Erwin whined and started rolling his hips down onto Levi’s growing erection. Levi groaned and pulled Erwin’s cheeks apart, rubbing at the cloth of his thong that was covering his hole. God he wanted to be inside this ass so badly.

“Do you want me to ride you, boss?” Erwin asked, running his finger up and down Levi’s chest.

Levi chuckled, “You can call me Levi. But yes, I’d love for you to ride me, baby.”

Erwin tugged the string of his thong aside and started sucking on his own fingers before putting his arm back behind him and starting to rub at his hole. Levi groaned, holding his cheeks open as Erwin began to sink in a finger.

“Oh damn,” Levi sighed. “You look so hot, baby. Getting yourself all stretched for my cock.”

Erwin whined and pumped the tip of his finger in and out, slowly stretching himself. Levi moved his hands up and started tweaking at one of Erwin’s nipples, rubbing the nub under the pads of his fingers before pinching on it. Erwin mewled in pleasure, bouncing up and down on his finger and whimpering loudly.

“Such a pretty boy,” Levi cooed, leaning up into him and taking his nipple into his mouth. He started suckling on it, swirling his tongue and nibbling lightly on the nub. Erwin groaned and added a second finger, riding his fingers eagerly.

“You’re so fucking gorgeous,” Levi growled against his skin, reaching around to smack his ass harshly.

Erwin yelped and moaned, “Th-Thank you… oh god.”

“Are you excited for me to shove my fat cock in your slutty little hole?” Levi purred.

Erwin nodded enthusiastically as he added a third finger, “I’m… I’m gonna ride your cock so good - I want it so bad.”

Levi’s eyes rolled back a little as Erwin continued to grind down onto his crotch. Levi’s cock was trapped in his pants, painfully hard, and he quickly worked to get them down around his thighs, jerking at his cock a few times to smear the precum over it as lubricant.

Erwin whimpered and took his fingers out, grasping Levi’s cock and lining it up. He sank down slowly, causing both men to groan loudly. Erwin shifted a little, trying to get used to the feeling as he sunk down further and further. Levi clung to Erwin’s hips, breathing heavily as the warmth of Erwin’s insides enveloped his cock; that hot, wet heat. Erwin was mewling and whimpering, forehead starting to sweat as he took in Levi’s cock.

“Shit,” Levi swore, starting to pump Erwin’s cock a few times to help him get used to the feeling.

“Oh god,” Erwin sighed, tossing his head back with a moan once he was all the way down.

He shortly started bouncing in little movements on Levi’s cock, before lifting himself a little more with each thrust. Levi groaned and held his hips tightly, helping to guide him up and down on his cock.

“Good boy,” Levi praised. “Fuck, that’s such a good boy.”

“Oh Levi,” Erwin whined, gyrating his hips expertly as he sunk back down onto Levi’s cock. “It feels so fucking good. You feel so good inside me.”

“Does that feel nice?” Levi asked, jerking his hips up into Erwin and causing the man to gasp and moan at the feeling. “You like being filled up, don’t you? You’ve got such a slutty little hole.”

Erwin groaned and nodded, feeling up his chest as he bounced up and down. He was moaning obscenely, and Levi was sure that if his men were still anywhere near the room, they knew exactly what the two were doing. He’d never heard someone so loud, but he liked it. Erwin’s noises were only turning him on more.

“Erwin,” Levi ordered. “Touch your cock, baby.”

Erwin whimpered, starting to jerk at his cock as he rode Levi hastily, desperately. He mewled loudly, his cock leaking precum everywhere. Levi was feeling incredibly close himself, bucking his hips up to meet Erwin’s movements as best as he could.

“Fuck,” Erwin whined. “Oh fuck. I’m gonna cum… I’m gonna cum!”

“Hold it,” Levi growled. “You hold it, baby. Don’t cum till I say so.”

Erwin moaned loudly, shaking his head and squeezing his eyes shut, “I… oh god- I can’t! Please… Please!”

“Shh,” Levi teased, smacking Erwin’s ass harshly. “You can cum on ten, okay? One… two…”

Levi continued to count, panting hard as he was getting close too. He cried out as he burrowed himself deep inside Erwin, cumming hard before muttering, “T-Ten…”

Erwin moaned and came in ropes across Levi’s shirt, and Levi was regretting not taking it off, but it was a little late for that. The two were left breathing heavily, and Erwin slowly removed himself from Levi’s lap.

Levi gave a slap to Erwin’s plump ass, “Good job.”

Erwin blushed, “It felt so good…”

Levi smirked, leaning back in his chair and taking out his handkerchief. He started to clean himself up, an idea popping into his mind. He grinned a bit and grasped Erwin by the elastic of his thong, tugging him close again.

“How would you like to be my personal whore?” Levi asked as Erwin settled in Levi’s lap again. “I’d give you anything you wanted. All you’d have to do for me is be my little cock slut. Would you like that?”

Erwin blushed horribly, but nodded after a moment, “Y-Yes… I’d like that…”

“Good,” Levi chuckled, leaning up to peck Erwin on the lips. “That’s a very good boy.”

Levi whimpered as he tried his best to crawl towards Erwin, unable to use his upper body as he was tied up in a straight jacket-type device with his arms pinned behind his back. He had on a shock collar with a chain leash, paws on his feet, kitten ears on his head, claws on his fingers that were behind his back. There was a butt plug inside of him with a tail attached, which his hole twitched around as he moved across the floor towards his owner. Erwin, on the other hand, was wearing a pair of tan pants and black boots, the pants open to reveal his cock, no shirt on as he gripped the leash in his hand, tugging Levi towards his cock.

“Come here, kitten,” Erwin murmured. “Come suck on your master’s cock.”

Levi mewled and curled up at Erwin’s feet, mouth open and tongue darting out. He purred pleasantly as he leaned his head down towards Erwin’s crotch, lapping at the tip and moaning around Erwin’s growing erection. They’d developed this relationship about a year ago. They’d been dating for two years when Levi had approached Erwin with his idea. He’d wanted to try pet play for a long time, and Erwin had enthusiastically agreed. Erwin liked being the dom in the situation, being Levi’s owner. They had special rules and processes for how they did things, and Erwin, though harsh, was a good Master to Levi.

“Master,” Levi moaned, lapping eagerly at the veins on Erwin’s cock.

Erwin was breathing deeply through his nose, running his fingers over Levi’s kitten ears and then through his hair. He sighed and tugged lightly on Levi’s locks, and Levi whined, arching his back and licking carefully at the tip of Erwin’s cock.

“Oh kitten,” Erwin groaned. “So good at sucking cock, aren’t you?”

Levi nodded and nuzzled his cheek against Erwin’s cock, staring up at him with wide, innocent eyes. He wanted Erwin to please him, but he knew the drill. He would have to please Erwin first, and then they would go on their usual walk around the house before Erwin would reward Levi with the treat of getting to cum. By that point, Levi would be fully hard and aching; he just knew it.

Levi sucked the flared tip into his mouth, taking more of the cock into his mouth and sinking down further. He moaned around it, gravity doing a lot of the work for him as he couldn’t use his hands to catch him - he was just bobbing down onto Erwin’s cock over and over again with ease.

Erwin grunted, grasping Levi’s leash and tugging him closer, “Good little kitten. Master is gonna give you such a treat for being so well-behaved. Would you like that?”

Levi nodded again, drool dribbling down his chin and eyes half-lidded as his moans vibrated around Erwin’s cock. He could feel Erwin’s cock jerking inside his mouth, the warmth and wetness of his saliva bringing Erwin closer to completion. Erwin fucked forward in Levi’s throat, thrusting his length further in.

“So good,” Erwin moaned, his breath shakier with each moment. “So good.”

Levi groaned, swallowing at the base of Erwin’s cock, his nose buried in the dark blonde curls of his Master’s pubic hair.

“Mhmh - ngh…” Levi choked, his moans muffled by the thick cock in his throat.

“That’s right, pet,” Erwin brushed his fingers against the base of Levi’s neck, stroking the short hairs there. His cock twitched in Levi’s throat as he kept using him, setting a merciless pace. Levi chased the rush of being used… completely at his Master’s mercy - existing only for his owner’s pleasure. “Greedy little cock-slut.”

Erwin suddenly pulled Levi’s head off him, cumming across Levi’s face. Levi shut his eyes and whimpered, starting to lap at the cum around his lips. He mewled as Erwin started wiping the cum off his face with his finger, feeding it to him drop by drop. Levi sucked Erwin’s finger into his mouth and licked off every bit of Erwin’s cum, his face feeling sticky and dirty. This was the only time Levi would allow himself to feel messy. He liked the feeling of cum on his face - Erwin’s cum.

“Alright, baby,” Erwin sighed, tucking himself back into his pants and closing them back up. “Let’s take you on a walk. You need to get your energy out.”

Levi was painfully hard, his cock bouncing against his stomach. It’s too much… not enough. He wanted to cry, to beg Erwin to let him cum, let him touch himself, anything. But he couldn’t. He knew the consequences of such a thing. He would be rewarded for his patience… his Master would be good to him if Levi followed his orders. So Levi obeyed. He shuffled across the floor as Erwin got up and began to lead him out of the bedroom and down the hall. He shuffled along the carpet on his knees, reveling in the rug burn on his knees as he whimpered and meowed at Erwin to get his attention.

“What is it, baby?” Erwin asked, pausing in his tracks. “Do your knees hurt?”

Levi nodded and mewled, crawling on the floor as he nuzzled up to Erwin’s leg, face against his leather boots. Erwin chuckled softly and ran his fingers through Levi’s hair, petting him nicely between his kitten ears.

“Only a little while longer, and you’ll get your pleasure, my pet,” Erwin promised. “Now come on.”

Levi continued to shift across the carpet, following Erwin, who tugged on his leash harshly when he didn’t keep up. Levi was moaning and whimpering, practically drooling onto the carpet as his cock twitched between his legs. He enjoyed the feeling of the burn in his legs, the inability to use his arms, the way Erwin led him around like a well-behaved pet.

After a brief walk around the halls, the two moved back into the bedroom. Levi watched Erwin sit down on the bed again, picking up a book on his nightstand and starting to flip through the pages. Levi gave him a confused mewl - he thought he was going to be pleasured, given a treat.

“You can use my boot, kitten,” Erwin instructed, moving his left leg out for Levi to pleasure himself on.

Levi quickly got to work. He wrapped his legs around Erwin’s and balanced on his knees, beginning to hump his cock against the leather of Erwin’s boot. He moaned, trying to find a comfortable position to do so, but it was almost impossible. He had no lube other than the precum on the tip of his cockhead, so there was only rough, dry friction to be found against Erwin’s boot at first, until the precum started to pool down the shaft and make the slide easier. Levi groaned, whimpering and rubbing desperately against the leather.

“I… I need it,” Levi mewled. “I’m… Master!”

He knew he couldn’t cum without permission. He humped eagerly, feeling himself getting closer and closer. Erwin put down his book, and Levi tried to continue, whining loudly in protest when Erwin began to push him away from his boot.

“Shh,” Erwin murmured. “Hush now. You’re not finishing on my boot. Come lay on the bed, precious.”

Levi wanted to cry. He slowly managed to get up from the floor, climbing onto the bed. He just wanted to cum so badly, and Erwin had put him through so much. He arched his back, sticking his ass in the air and resting his upper half on the pillows.

“M-Master,” Levi pleaded. “Please… I need to cum!”

He felt Erwin grasp at the end of his tail where the plug rested, pulling on it slowly. He pulled it out almost all the way before pushing it back in with a chuckle, and Levi let out a strangled cry, canting his hips back against the plug. Erwin gently pulled it out again, all the way this time, leaving Levi empty and needy. He whined and wriggled his hips to show Erwin he needed something to fill him. A small bullet vibrator soon replaced the plug. Erwin pushed it inside of him, reaching his fingers inside to position it on his sweet spot.

Levi was whimpering and squirming, knowing what was coming. He knew Erwin was about to test him, and it would be incredibly exhausting. Levi watched his owner grab a remote from his bedside table before he put the vibrator on its lowest setting, the buzz of the little machine inside his hole humming loudly. Levi moaned, his cock twitching horribly against his stomach as he fought to keep his orgasm at bay. He couldn’t cum without permission.

Erwin pressed the up arrow on the remote, turning up the intensity of the vibrator, and Levi was gasping as sparks of pleasure shot up his spine, the vibrator nudging just right against his prostate.

“Master!” Levi groaned. “Oh god!”

“Good kitten,” Erwin whispered, stroking his back gently. “Are you getting close?”

Levi nodded quickly, hoping that Erwin might grant him mercy. But Erwin only turned up the vibrator, the buzzing louder now as the little shots of pleasure jolted Levi. He was quaking with pleasure, legs shaking as Erwin pet his back over and over.

“I’m so close,” Levi let out a choked sob. “Master- Master please!”

Erwin reached down to grasp Levi’s cock in his hand, and started pumping him at an agonizingly slow pace. It felt so good to have Erwin pump him like that - his warm, large hand enveloping Levi’s cock. But he hadn’t given Levi permission yet, and this was pure torture at this point. Levi let out another sob as he broke down, shoulders racking as he tried desperately to hold onto his orgasm. Tears began to roll down his cheeks as Erwin turned up the intensity once more, and Levi wasn’t sure if he could hold on much longer.

“Alright, kitten,” Erwin finally said as he pumped Levi’s cock. “You can cum.”

Levi practically screamed as he came hard - long ropes spilling from his cock as he was at last able to finish. He collapsed onto the sheets, sobbing quietly as he tried to calm down from the overwhelming feeling of the vibrator still buzzing against his sensitive spot.

“T-Turn it off,” Levi begged. “Please - it… it’s too much!”

Erwin chuckled, deciding to grant him mercy and turning it off, “Okay, kitten. I’ll play nice.”

He slowly removed the vibrator bullet from Levi’s ass before replacing it with the butt plug tail, which Levi was used to wearing at this point. He was incredibly sleepy now, completely spent and sniffling as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Erwin helped Levi take off the straight jacket to free his arms.

Then, Erwin took off his boots and climbed into the bed next to Levi, snuggling up to him and wrapping his arms around him. This was Levi’s favorite part of their play - the aftercare. Erwin always made him feel so loved and cared for.

“My precious baby,” Erwin whispered against his skin, pressing kisses to his forehead. “Such a good kitten for me. And so pretty… you look so sexy when you cum for me.”

Levi whimpered and clung to Erwin, burrowing his face in Erwin’s pillowy chest as he mewled pleasantly. Erwin stroked his back gently, and the two fell asleep like that in one another’s arms.

Levi blushed horribly as he bent over the mating table, completely nude. He was so nervous, though he’d been preparing for this day for a long time now. Ever since he’d hit puberty, he knew that this day was coming. He knew that when he was older, he’d get married, and have to complete the mating ritual in front of a group of strangers - witnesses to the event.

Erwin, his new husband, was walking down the aisle towards the table in a robe, staring directly at Levi with a hunger in his eyes. The two had never had sex with one another before. They’d saved themselves for their marriage and their mating ritual, but Levi knew Erwin was plenty experienced. He’d slept around with people before dating Levi, and now, as was custom, he was going to fuck Levi over the mating table in front of these witnesses. Levi was so anxious, as he was a complete virgin. He had no idea what to expect. He blushed at the sight of Erwin disrobing in front of the table, staring directly at his cock, which was a damn monster of a thing. Levi whimpered, spreading his thighs a little further apart as Erwin began to circle the table.

“How beautiful you are,” Erwin murmured quietly, just loud enough for Levi to hear, once he was behind him. “All bent over and ready to take it.”

“Ervy…” Levi whined, already feeling his cock twitching with want. “I need you.”

Erwin picked up the bottle of lube next to Levi on the table, pouring a generous amount on his fingers and rubbing them together to warm it up a little. Levi clenched his fists in front of him, avoiding the gazes of those looking upon them.

“Are you shy, baby?” Erwin whispered, pulling one of Levi’s cheeks back and starting to rub at his hole. “I’m not. I’m very excited to fuck you in front of all these people. To show them that you’re all mine.”

Levi blushed and groaned quietly, “O-Oh… Oh Ervy…”

“Mmm,” Erwin hummed. “How would you like it? Do you want me to be rough or gentle?”

Levi could feel his face flushing as Erwin began to press his finger inside, and he tried his best to stay still on the table, “I… I want it gentle, Ervy. I’m… I’m scared.”

Erwin chuckled, “Don’t be scared, baby. I’m gonna make you feel so good.”

Levi nodded a little, grunting as Erwin pushed his finger in a little further. He tried to relax, knowing that was a good thing to do when someone was shoving something inside of you. It didn’t help to tense up. He tried to take some deep breaths, groaning at the size of Erwin’s finger inside of him. He trusted Erwin to take things slow and gentle like he’d requested; he and his husband had known each other for five years now, and Levi would trust him with his life.

Soon enough, Erwin’s entire finger was pressed inside of him, and Levi had never felt so full in his whole life, though he knew more was coming. He was mewling pleasantly, the burn feeling good inside his stomach. Erwin had his free hand braced on Levi’s lower back to keep him from squirming, and Levi was certainly having a hard time keeping still.

Erwin began to nudge a second finger past his entrance, and Levi moaned outright, unable to hold back anymore. He let out a choked sob, his knuckles turning white as he clung to the opposite edge of the table under him.

“Such a pretty boy,” Erwin cooed. “Look at them. They’re watching you, Levi. Does that turn you on?”

Levi whimpered and blushed, unable to look at the people who were gathered to watch them fuck. It kind of did turn him on, though it made him incredibly embarrassed at the same time. Erwin stretched him open on two fingers now, scissoring them lightly as he tried to coax the strong muscle of Levi’s hole.

“Levi,” Erwin spoke sternly, pausing his fingers momentarily. “I told you to look at them, darling. Don’t disobey me now. Or I’ll have to spank you like a wicked little boy.”

Levi whined and looked up slowly, glancing around at the faces of the people watching them. He could feel a nervousness in his gut - some were looking on with passive glances, others watching with keen interest. He could see some of the men tenting in their pants, and wondered if he really looked that good up on this table for them to be turned on right now.

“Do you see?” Erwin asked, going back to fingering him harshly. “Do you see how they look at you?”

Levi mewled and wriggled under Erwin’s hold, not trying to get away but simply trying to adjust, to get comfortable. He moaned as Erwin began to press in a third finger, the stretch feeling good but almost impossible.

“They look at you with such lust,” Erwin continued. “But they don’t get to have you, do they? Do they, Levi?”

Levi groaned loudly when Erwin fucked into a sensitive spot that had him seeing stars. He shook his head desperately, his cock twitching between his legs and dribbling precum down the shaft.

“N-No,” Levi answered in a shaky voice, clinging to the table as if letting go meant he would collapse, and honestly, he might.

“That’s right,” Erwin slowly pulled his fingers out, pressing his cock to Levi’s entrance and rubbing at the stretched rim. “And why’s that?”

“I… I…” Levi whimpered, eyes hazy with lust and drool accumulating in the sides of his mouth, dripping onto the table as he tried to form a coherent response. “I…”

“Because,” Erwin explained, filling Levi with one brutal thrust. “You’re mine.”

Levi practically howled at the feeling of Erwin pushing in and bottoming out so quickly, throwing his head back and gasping. Erwin grasped him by the hair to keep his head back, his back arching beautifully.

“Say it,” Erwin ordered, slowly pumping in and out at first to get Levi used to the feeling. “Say that you’re mine, Levi.”

Levi moaned and nodded, “I-I’m yours, Ervy! I’m yours!”

Erwin chuckled lowly as he pounded into Levi’s ass, both of them breathing heavily. Erwin’s hand was sweaty in Levi’s hair, and Levi himself had sweat dripping down his spine and pooling in the small of his back.

“That’s exactly right,” Erwin growled, delivering a crushing thrust. “You’re mine.”

Levi shrieked and let out a sob, tears rolling down his cheeks as Erwin rammed into him from behind. Erwin wasn’t being too rough though. He rolled his hips into Levi, angling himself to find that sweet spot that Levi enjoyed so much. Levi cried out when Erwin found it, and Erwin continued to grind his cock into that spot repeatedly.

“Oh,” Levi panted. “Oh Ervy! I’m yours… I’m yours…”

Levi kept repeating the phrase, babbling it over and over as he drooled onto the table below. Erwin had let go of his hair, and he laid his cheek on the stone table, a sobbing and dribbling mess.

Erwin groaned and continued to fuck Levi, gripping his hips harshly as his cock twitched inside of Levi’s hole. Levi gasped when Erwin reached around and started stroking his cock, leaning over him so that his chest was pressing against Levi’s back.

“You’ve been a good boy, baby,” Erwin praised. “You can go ahead and cum whenever you want to.”

“Thank you,” Levi sobbed. “Th-Thank you!”

He fucked himself into Erwin’s fist, feeling his orgasm on the horizon as Erwin pounded his sweet spot from behind and jerked at his cock. Levi was overwhelmed with the pleasure he was feeling, and he nearly screamed as he came hard across the table, eyes half-lidded and mouth open. Erwin gave him a half dozen more thrusts before he buried himself in deep and came inside of Levi’s hole, filling him up and leaving a warmth in Levi’s lower half.

They were both breathing heavily, and Levi had almost forgotten there had been a crowd in front of him the whole time until they began to rise from their seats to leave, the ritual now over with. Erwin pressed a kiss to Levi’s shoulder, nuzzling his face gently.

“How did that feel, precious?” He asked as he pulled out his softened cock, cum dribbling down Levi’s thighs. “Did it feel good?”

Levi nodded, shakily trying to stand when Erwin moved away. Erwin smiled affectionately at him before lifting him bridal style, kissing him sweetly as he murmured, “You don’t have to walk, baby. I’ve got you. You just rest now.”

Levi laid his head on Erwin’s chest, sighing contently, “I love you, Ervy.”

“I love you too, baby.”

Levi grumbled swears under his breath as he lay atop the scaffolding, dabbing his brush in the paint before starting to paint the ceiling. He’d been tasked with painting the ceiling of this chapel in the south of France where he lived, and the priests and other members of the church were continuously walking past, gawking at his work and making him uncomfortable. It was annoying, to say the least.

But one of the men caught his eye, and Levi couldn’t help but stare. He blushed horribly as their eyes met, and Levi looked away quickly, trying to focus on his painting instead. The man had been so handsome: sharp blue eyes and blonde hair slicked back out of his face, with a strong frame and thick limbs. Levi was enamored at first sight, though he wouldn’t admit it. He moved along and started painting the angels he’d been planning. 

He sighed dreamily as he focused on the details of the face, painting the blue eyes and blonde hair he’d just fell so in love with. That stranger… he was an angel, and so Levi was going to paint him as one.

Levi finished up his work for the day and climbed down the scaffolding, almost bumping into someone as he went to walk away. He gasped, about to scold the man for not looking where he was going, when he looked up to see the handsome stranger he’d been painting. The man was looking up at the ceiling, admiring Levi’s work. Levi was horrified. He hadn’t intended to let the stranger see that he’d painted him.

“That’s incredible,” the stranger murmured. “You really have quite the talent.”

Maybe he didn’t notice, Levi hoped, feeling nerves pool in his stomach as he replied, “Um. Thank you.”

“Wow,” the stranger sighed, in awe at Levi’s painting. “That’s really something. I- oh… that one kinda looks like me!”

Levi wanted to face-palm. Of course he’d noticed it. Levi was thoroughly embarrassed, face red and stuttering as he tried to explain, “O-Oh… well you see… I…”

“I’m only teasing,” the man chuckled, finally looking down to face Levi. “It’s really quite beautiful, honestly.”

Little did the stranger know that Levi had painted him on the ceiling, but Levi would keep that little secret to himself. The man smiled and held out his hand to Levi, who shook it as they introduced themselves to one another.

“I’m Erwin,” the man greeted.

“Levi,” Levi replied, letting go of Erwin’s hand.

“Well Levi,” Erwin smiled. “I’ll see you around, yeah? Hope to get a glimpse at more of your beautiful work.”

I want you to get a glimpse of more than just my work, Levi couldn’t help but think. He shook the thought from his head, offering up a small smile to Erwin and nodding, “Y-Yeah. I’ll see you around then.”

Erwin began to walk off, and Levi could feel himself blushing. He was completely smitten over this stranger… this Erwin. The angel he’d painted on the ceiling.

Erwin held tightly to Levi’s hand as the poor man laid in the grass, blood pooling everywhere below him. He could see the horrible bite Levi had suffered in his stomach, the guts that were spilling out of him as his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Levi let out a quiet sob, looking up at Erwin with something like desperation in his eyes. Erwin had tears rolling down his face. He didn’t know what the fuck to do. He and Levi had been  traversing the zombie apocalypse for months now together, and a hoard of zombies had just attacked their camper. Erwin was able to fight off the zombies, but Levi had gotten bit, and Erwin had fought off the last of the zombies, shooting them in the head while Levi lay on the ground bleeding out.

“Baby,” Erwin sniffled. “Oh god. Baby, don’t go.”

“Erwin,” Levi begged between deep, shaky breaths. “Please. You gotta do it. You gotta shoot me in the head, Erwin. I don’t wanna… don’t wanna turn into one of those things.”

Erwin shook his head quickly, “I can’t. I… I won’t. I can’t shoot you, baby. I can’t.”

“Erwin,” Levi sobbed. “Please. We don’t have much time. I don’t want to turn. Don’t let me turn.”

Erwin clung to Levi’s blood-covered hand, tears streaming down his face. There was no fucking way on earth he could shoot Levi in the head, even if he turned into a zombie, or even if to prevent Levi from turning into one.

“Erwin,” Levi pleaded. “I’m scared, Erwin. I just want to die, I… I don’t want to be reanimated into one of those… those things. Please… you have to shoot me. Please do it. It’s the only way.”

Erwin rubbed his eyes tearfully, his whole body going numb as he picked up the shotgun from off the ground. He shakily refilled the bullets. I have to do this, he kept telling himself over and over. For Levi, I have to do it. I can’t let him suffer anymore.

“Please,” Levi continued, desperately clawing at Erwin’s skin and coughing up blood. “Please Erwin.”

“I… I will,” Erwin mumbled, cocking the gun. “I’m gonna do it, baby. I’m gonna do it for… for you.”

Levi nodded, reaching up to cup Erwin’s cheek. Erwin could barely look at him, but he shared one last loving look with Levi, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to Levi’s lips before he whispered, “I love you, baby. So… So much.”

“I love you too, Ervy,” Levi responded tearfully, trying to hold his guts in as he drew in more shaky breaths.

Erwin got up, sniffling and picking up the gun, “C-Close your eyes, sweetheart. I don’t want you to see it coming, okay?”

Levi nodded, squeezing his eyes shut as he held his wound in both hands. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he lay his head back against the tree trunk, trying to appear peaceful and calm. But he looked so scared. Erwin could tell. After knowing him for so long, Erwin knew that Levi was terrified. And that broke Erwin’s heart more than anything.

He aimed the gun at Levi’s head, putting his finger on the trigger. His hands were shaking so badly, and he willed himself to steady them, not wanting to miss and put Levi in even more pain or fear. He wanted to put an end to this, once and for all.

“Sing to me?” Levi asked suddenly, right before Erwin was about to pull the trigger. “Please Ervy? That… That song you always sing. Just one last time.”

Erwin nodded, still holding the gun up to his face to look through the tracker as he lined it up once more, singing softly, “You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are gray.”

Levi was mouthing the words, singing along quietly, “You’ll never know dear, how much I love you.”

Erwin pulled the trigger, Levi’s brains splattering everywhere as Erwin whispered, “Please don’t take my sunshine away.”

Erwin sighed heavily, listening to Levi crying in the other room. He was getting sick of the small man’s tears. He’d been crying since Erwin had abducted him and brought him to the Underworld. Erwin hadn’t been able to help himself: Levi was just so incredibly handsome that he couldn’t resist. He had taken Levi away from his uncles and made him his husband as soon as they got back into the Underworld.

Erwin wanted badly to have sex with the Ackerman, but he didn’t want to force himself on the poor man. He’d already taken Levi away from everything he knew and loved; he couldn’t just add rape on top of that. Erwin knew he could be an evil man, but he wasn’t that evil.

He got up, walking into the bedroom and leaning in the doorway. Levi sniffled, not looking up and clinging to his pillow. He had barely spoken to Erwin since he’d been abducted, understandably.

Erwin went to sit at the edge of the bed, reaching a hand out to stroke Levi’s beautiful black hair. Levi visibly shivered at the touch, looking up at Erwin with disdain. Erwin continued to touch his hair anyways.

“Levi,” Erwin murmured. “How can I make things better?”

“Take me home,” Levi grunted, wiping his tears on his sleeves. “I just wanna go home.”

“I can’t do that, my pet,” Erwin frowned, pushing the hair out of Levi’s forehead and wiping away at some of his tears with his thumb. “You really want to go back there that badly? Even when I’ve made you my husband, the second in command to the Underworld?”

Levi nodded, “I… I miss my uncles.”

Erwin let out a deep sigh, trying to think of how best he could help Levi. He supposed he could make a little negotiation of sorts. Levi sniveled sadly, looking entirely too precious. Erwin didn’t want him to be sad.

“I’ll make you a deal,” Erwin decided. “How about you spend spring and summer with your uncles, and you spend autumn and winter with me?”

Levi looked up at Erwin with widened eyes, “You… You’d let me? I mean… you’d let me go home for half the year?”

Erwin knew it was a great sacrifice to himself, but he supposed he had abducted the Ackerman, so it was only fair to try and share him. He wanted Levi to want to be here, and perhaps giving him a little freedom would help.

“Yes, my dear,” Erwin whispered, leaning over to kiss Levi’s forehead. “But in return, I would like to have sex with you. The seasons are turning warmer, and I’ll have to send you back to your uncles soon. So allow me to indulge in you this once.”

Levi blushed from his cheeks to the tips of his ears, “So if… if we have sex, I get to go back for half the year?”

Erwin nodded, stroking Levi’s cheek lovingly. Levi shifted uncomfortably in the bed before he lulled his head up and down reluctantly, “I… I agree. I’ll have sex with you, Erwin. I want to go back home.”

Erwin smirked, feeling successful at coercing his husband into relations with him. He leaned over to kiss Levi on the lips, the shorter man squeaking in some surprise before melting into it. The two shared a few loving smooches, and Erwin could feel that Levi was starting to finally warm up to him and the idea of being married to the king of the Underworld.

“Come on, my dear,” Erwin encouraged. “Let’s get your clothes off.”

Levi was wearing a robe, which Erwin helped him get out of, discarding it onto the floor. Levi was left naked and clearly anxious, legs quivering with nerves. Erwin tried to calm him by kissing him again, which seemed to work for the moment.

“Erwin,” Levi mumbled sheepishly. “I’ve… I’ve never done this before.”

“I’ll be gentle with you,” Erwin promised. “Don’t worry, darling.”

Erwin could see Levi’s cock twitching at Erwin’s words, and he nuzzled Levi’s cheek gently before pulling away to pay more attention to the growing erection between Levi’s legs. He took ahold of it and began pumping it slowly, thumbing at the head. Levi gasped and whimpered, trying to get comfortable on the sheets as Erwin continued to jerk him off.

“Shh,” Erwin cooed. “Just stay calm, my love. I promise it’s going to feel so good.”

Levi reached up to cling to Erwin’s robes, tugging at them as he was becoming overwhelmed with the pleasure of Erwin pumping him so nicely. Erwin thought he was adorable, so innocent and pure. He started to lay kisses on Levi’s face, one after another, before taking his hand away and reaching around to cup Levi’s ass. One of his cheeks fit in Erwin’s large hand, and he jiggled it appreciatively before whispering a lubrication spell so that Levi would be wet when he started to open him up. He nuzzled Levi’s cheek sweetly before slipping two fingers between his cheeks, starting to push them past his entrance.

“Ah!” Levi gasped, moaning and digging his fingers into Erwin’s forearm.

“Does it hurt?” Erwin asked hesitantly, slowing the move of his fingers.

“N-No,” Levi whined. “It’s just… so much…”

“Just relax, baby,” Erwin murmured soothingly, starting to move his fingers around and stretch them gently to coax Levi’s hole open. “Take some deep breaths and relax your muscles, okay?”

Levi nodded, taking some deep breaths to try and relax as Erwin speared him open on two fingers. Erwin was becoming rather excited, his own cock twitching inside of his robes as he explored the wet warmth inside of his husband.

“Feels so good in there,” Erwin whispered against his forehead before pressing a kiss there. “Can’t wait to be inside you, baby.”

Levi moaned at his words, squirming back against his fingers for more. Erwin continued to finger him, finding Levi’s sensitive spot and rubbing at it firmly. Levi cried out and grasped at Erwin’s arms desperately, moaning loudly.

“Oh Erwin!” He gasped out.

“Shh, you’re almost ready,” Erwin purred. “Almost ready for my cock, baby.”

Levi let out a choked sob as Erwin added a third finger, his nails digging into Erwin’s skin - not hard enough to break through it but enough to leave red marks behind. Erwin continued to rub at his sweet spot, all the previous discomfort blossoming into pleasure.

Erwin slowly removed his fingers, helping Levi settle on his side as Erwin snuggled up behind him. He pulled his robes back to reveal his throbbing cock, which spilled out onto Levi’s asscheek. Erwin lined himself up and started pushing in slowly. Levi gasped and whined, clinging to the sheets as Erwin started to fill him up.

“Oh my god,” Erwin groaned as the tightness and warmth surrounded him. “You feel so fucking good.”

“Oh Erwin,” Levi whimpered. “Oh fuck I… a-ah!”

Erwin slowly pulled out and began to thrust at a leisurely pace at first, gripping Levi by the hips and pulling him back onto his cock. Levi was moaning and writhing back against him, desperate to be filled every time Erwin pulled out nearly all the way. The shorter man reached back with his hand and gripped at Erwin’s robes, trying to tug him closer. Erwin pressed a kiss to Levi’s hair, and Levi turned his head around, lips puckered and waiting for a kiss. His eyes were half-lidded, a deep blush dusting his cheeks. Erwin sighed happily, granting him the kiss he was waiting for. He’s so cute.

Erwin moaned and continued to thrust, giving it to Levi a little faster now as he felt his orgasm forming in his gut. He knew he wouldn’t last long, but damn Levi was just so tight and so good.

“Oh!” Levi cried out. “Oh my god!”

“Shh,” Erwin purred against Levi’s ear, pulling his black hair out of his sweaty forehead. “Oh shh, honey. I’ve got you. I’ve got you, baby.”

He’d never been so enamored before, but he wanted to give Levi everything he could. Levi let out a high-pitched whine as Erwin fucked into his sweet spot, and Erwin could see his poor aching cock throbbing against his belly. He decided to grant Levi mercy, reaching down to tug at his cock.

“Come on, baby,” Erwin cooed. “Cum for me, sweetheart.”

Levi let out a loud sob as he came into Erwin’s hand and onto his stomach after only a few pumps, legs twitching horribly from oversensitivity. Erwin laid a wet kiss on Levi’s cheek, reaching up to rub the cum into Levi’s chest. Levi moaned, sobbing quietly as Erwin gave him a few more thrusts before cumming inside of him. Erwin was worried he’d hurt Levi at first, wondering why the man was crying. He pulled out, and Levi instantly shuffled to turn around and cling to Erwin’s robes, crying into his shoulder.

“What’s wrong, my love?” Erwin asked quietly, rubbing his back.

“It… It felt… f-felt so g-good,” Levi whimpered. “I never f-felt like that. Never ever.”

Erwin smiled affectionately, kissing his forehead, “Aww, baby. I promise I’ll make you feel so good anytime you’d like. Okay?”

Levi sniffed, looking up into Erwin’s eyes, blue on gray, “Promise?”

“I promise.”

Levi stirred his drink. He wasn’t really a fan of going on dates. Nor was he a fan of Tinder particularly. Yet here he was, on a Tinder date at a bar with some guy he barely knew. The man was in the bathroom, and Levi was sipping his drink, very bored and not really into the man he’d been talking to at all. He was into crypto-currency and the stock market, and Levi just wasn’t interested. He figured he’d spend about ten more minutes with the man before making up an excuse as to why he had to head out.

That’s when he heard the bartender clear his throat, tapping on the bar in front of Levi to capture his attention. Levi looked up at the blonde, whose name tag read ‘Erwin’, waiting for him to say whatever he was going to.

“You gotta get out of here,” Erwin muttered, as if not wanting others to hear their conversation. “That guy’s bad news.”

Levi chuckled a little, “Uh, yeah. He’s pretty boring. I’m gonna head out soon I’ll come up with some excuse.”

“No no,” Erwin frowned. “You don’t get it. Look I… I don’t have proof, but I’m pretty sure he drugs men and takes them to his place.”

Levi raised an eyebrow, “Okay… how do you know?”

“He brings in guys like you all the time,” Erwin explained. “And he’s only here for about an hour, but when he’s leaving with the men, they’re completely hammered even after only having one or two drinks. It’s very suspicious. I’ve tried to stop him before, but with no proof it’s… it’s difficult.”

Levi was not about to get drugged, and he decided it was better to believe the bartender rather than find out for himself. He quickly placed down some money for his drink and went to get up.

“Thank you,” he murmured. “I appreciate that.”

“Of course,” Erwin nodded, but before Levi could leave, he saw the guy, whose name was Eric, coming back from the bathroom, looking right at Levi.

Levi plopped back down in his seat, glancing nervously at Erwin. He was trapped. Erwin started wiping down the bar, pretending as though he hadn’t been just talking to Levi. Levi hoped Erwin might help him out of this.

“Were you going somewhere?” Eric laughed, a hint of menace in his voice. He sounded a little pissed off, as if he knew Levi was about to bail on him.

Levi instantly shook his head, “No no. I was coming to find you. You were gone for quite some time.”

Erwin moved down the bar, but Levi could feel his eye still on the two. Eric sat back down and wrapped an arm around Levi, pulling him close. Levi blushed and glanced to Erwin with some worry.

“I’ll get you another drink, baby,” Eric decided, not even bothering to ask. “Bartender!”

Erwin approached the two of them with caution, “What can I get you?”

“He’ll have another rum and coke, and I’ll do a gin and tonic,” Eric ordered.

Erwin nodded and started making the drinks, and Levi was barely paying attention as Eric started talking his ear off about crypto and how good it was to invest in it. Erwin set the two drinks down in front of them, and Levi could see now that Eric was trying to distract him, trying to get him to look away from his drink.

Levi fell for it at first, looking away briefly before realizing he should probably keep a good eye on his drink. He glanced over at Erwin, who shook his head ever so slightly, signaling that he shouldn’t drink the rum and coke. Eric must’ve slipped something in his drink, and Erwin must’ve seen him.

“Cheers,” Eric lifted his drink, and Levi lifted his own to cheers Eric’s glass. The two glasses clinked and Eric took a long sip of his, waiting for Levi to take a sip and watching him impatiently.

Levi pretended to take a sip and set the drink down, feeling Eric’s hand on his wrist, “You should drink a little faster so we can get out of here together.”

Levi laughed nervously, shaking his head a little, “That… That’s okay, I… I’m not really that thirsty right now and… and I think I’d like to go back to my place alone.”

“Well at least let me walk you there,” Eric offered, sounding insistent.

“O-Oh,” Levi replied, feeling terror run through his body. If he let Eric walk him home, what would stop the man from following him into his apartment? He didn’t want this man to know where he lived.

Eric finished up his drink in a few sips, “Come on, you have to drink it. I paid for it, don’t you feel bad?”

Levi could see the man was trying to guilt trip him, and he felt sick to his stomach. He glanced over at Erwin with a look of desperation, hoping the man would help him. He picked up the drink slowly, and Erwin’s eyes widened.

Before Levi could put the straw to his mouth, a big muscular man who Levi assumed was security came up behind Eric, “I’m going to have to escort you out, sir.”

Eric turned to look at the man with some shock, “Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about?”

“My bartender saw you slip something into that man’s drink,” the security man stated. “So I’m kicking you out.”

Erwin was helping him after all. Levi sighed in some relief and put the drink down. Eric got up, hands up in innocence, “I did nothing of the sort! Come on, Levi. Let’s get out of here, I’ll walk you home.”

“No,” the buff man growled. “He’s not going anywhere with you. Come on, get out.”

Eric glared at the security guard before turning to Levi, “Come on, baby. You don’t believe I’d do something like that!”

Erwin came up to the bar, glaring holes into Eric’s head as he snarled, “Leave him alone. And get the hell out or Mike will throw you out.”

Eric looked between the two of them in fury before he turned on his heel and walked out of the bar, and Levi could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Mike, the security guard, followed the man as he left, likely to make sure he wouldn’t try to sneak back in or wait outside for Levi.

“Thank you,” Levi smiled at Erwin. “I… I appreciate it. That could’ve ended really badly.”

Erwin nodded, “Of course. I’d recommend you wait at least another hour before you leave, in case he’s waiting outside for you. And you can leave out the back door if you’d like. I get off soon, I can walk you out of the building if you’d like.”

Levi could feel his heart beating out of his chest. Thoughtful and handsome? Levi thought to himself. It’s too good to be true. He leaned on the bar on his elbow, chin resting in his hand as he smirked at Erwin, “I’d like that. Maybe you can make my night better. Have a drink with me when you’re off?”

Erwin smiled shyly as he took Levi’s contaminated drink off the bar and began to wash the glass, “I’d love that.”
