Tumblr media
Levi doesn't really know what has drawn him to you. Perhaps your eagerness to please or your fearful and awe driven gaze directed him. Maybe it was your cute smile or the elegant way you held yourself. It certainly wasn't the fact that you were born in the safety of Mitras and your weak excuse of combat wasn't it either. While you appear to be smart and talented with the ODM gear, you certainly wouldn't do fighting titans. It's that simple. Your purpose as a soldier would probably be death, giving your life for humanity. Levi hates that fact; he despises the idea of you dying. You were subordinated to him after you joined the Survey Corps a year ago and if it wasn't for him, you would have been eaten and ripped apart on more occasions than he would like to admit. 
He expected you to be just that, a rich brat. Probably narcissistic and an egomaniac, having only your own desires in best interest. Most likely arrogant and always bragging about your accomplishments, like Oluo. To his surprise you were nothing like that. Your star struck eyes would always look up to him, a mixture of hope and awe in them. You would follow his every comment, much like Petra, but unlike her you were still in need of extra training.
The Captain always held you close. He would make you stay longer in training, so you could get better and stronger. After he would tell you to shower and meet him in his office to help him with paperwork, something that definitely wasn't in your range of duty. He abused his power over you, using your eagerness to help for his own advantage. Levi thrived, still does, in your attention and obedient behavior. He quite often thinks about you, wondering why a brat of Mitras would join the military. You had no reason to; a rich family, fulfilled life. And while he doesn't enjoy the thought of you with another man, you would have probably married someone of your class and bore him children. These thoughts made him realize that it might be the reason why you left. You did not want to be treated like a baby machine, did not want to marry a stranger twice your age. The Scouts made you free, or so you thought. Truth is you'd never be free, not as long as your Captain was around. It made him wonder what your life was like in Mitras. You were a late bloomer; joined when you turned eighteen, he knew that much. You probably waited to legally decide your fate on your own, without having to worry about your parents intervening. He remembers that day he looked over all of the reports of his new Cadets. You caught his interest.
"Fucking Mitras brat." He spat.
And then Eren came around. Levi was aware of his importance and upcoming changes that would occur with the moment he stepped foot into the Corps. Levi sat in Erwin's office drinking tea while he rolled his eyes at Hange’s rambling, their loud voice caused him a headache. 
"We need you to pick a new squad, Levi. Your Cadets will be handed over to Miche, so you have time to prepare your soldiers for the special operation. " Erwin explained and gave them a meaningful glance. He felt sour at the thought, but eventually decided to dare his luck a little.
"Sure. Am I allowed to hand-pick my new squad?" The blonde, tall man rolled his eyes, giving him a cold facade. 
"Yes. I trust you on your decisions. Do you have anyone specific in mind?" In his head, Levi screamed your name in desperation. 
"Eld is a fine soldier. Petra Ral and Oluo Bozado would be suited too." He halted, glaring at him as he waited for Erwin to agree. He did so gladly. 
"There is someone else." Levi noted and cleared his throat. The Commander gave him a sad look, feeling regret twirling in his gut. 
"You want to drag her into this?" Erwin wondered, hoping to motivate his friend to change his mind. 
"You said you would trust my decisions." Erwin stopped arguing and Levi knew he had Smith wrapped around his finger. He would give him almost anything if it meant that the Captain was happy. Confused Hange scratched their head. "Who are you talking about?" They asked directed at Erwin, they didn't expect an answer from Levi anyways. 
"A Cadet from Levi's current squad." It didn't take more to form Hange’s lips into an 'O' shape as awkward silence hit them. Rumors had already spread in the upper ranks of the squad about Levi being madly in love with his subordinate. The Captain would never dare to call it love though. No, he just gets off on the idea of having control over the Mitras brat. 
"Why did you choose me?" You asked him when the two of you cleaned the hall of your new headquarters, an abandoned castle. It's dirty and if there was something Levi hated more than stains on his clothes it certainly was an unclean environment. 
"Are you questioning my decisions brat?" He felt good, turning the words in your mouth so you would feel sorry.
"I would never dare to, Captain!" You raised your voice in fear, looking at him with hurt. 
"It's just-" You started shuddering at his cold stare, knowing you had to choose your next words wisely.
"There are so many others who are better than me." He nodded his head and agreed with you, your polite smile falling. He felt almost bad, but the thin line of feeling bad and boiling lust was conflicted within him. 
"But I have my reasons. You have other useful qualities." He encouraged her. 
"Like what?" Levi sighted and gritted his teeth, fletching them at her. 
"Oi, shut up now. The floors don't clean themselves." Shrinking under him you held your breath and whispered a small 'sorry Sir' continuing your cleaning duties. 
You didn't have dinner tonight, not enough time to eat. You relaxed in the showers and thought about your mistakes for too long. You shouldn't have lost your temper, shouldn't have raised your voice, after all Captain Levi is your superior, you don't know what has gotten into you. Petra tried to offer you comfort. "He's just stressed." She assured you, as she held your crying body in her arms. "I'm sure he only wants to talk things out with you! You mean a lot to him, I can tell." Her words were smoothing and the two of you made their way into the showers, relaxing under the warm stream of water. 
In his mind the two of you got closer over the past three weeks you were at the castle. With every passing day he got more and more desperate, bombing you with training. Learning about the true purpose of the 57th expedition, he had to make sure that you were safe. The hard work made you feel exhausted and after you had to repeat the same exercise for what felt like the hundredth time you simply snapped.
"I can't do this anymore!" You screamed, while you lost your calm demeanor. Throwing a tantrum around Levi, criticizing him at the same time, wasn't the best idea, you'll admit. The Captain angrily shut you up and squeezed your arm under his tight grip. He felt pissed, angry way beyond your pathetic imagination.
"If you don't get better you will die. I can’t always be there to save your sorry ass Cadet." He was aggressive and shook your body. 
"Then don't! I'm a soldier, it would be an honor to die for your cause." It was the first time he had violently touched you; the back of his hand smacking against your skin. His squad held their breaths in shock and didn't know how to react to his outburst. It wasn't unusual for Levi to get physical with people that misbehaved, but with you it was something else. Never did he lay his hands on you, except in training of course. You were quiet, other than the quiet whimpers that left your lips. It urged him to do worse. 
"Are you dense? You stupid brat don't even know what it means to die in honor. You should have stayed in Mitras with that attitude. I'm in no need of suicidal soldiers." You started crying at this point, shaking under his hands. He felt adrenaline shot into his abdomen, a nice tingle made his member slightly twitch at the sight of you. 
"Then why did you choose me?" He was close to hitting you again, his hand bawling into a fist; knuckles shining white. 
"Meet me in an hour in my office. Clean yourself up, you smell." With that he let you go and walked past his squat, eyebrows furrowing as Petra ran to your side, offering comfort. You didn't deserve that; he thought and shook his head in anger. The two of you were too soft. 
After that you dressed in your fresh formal-uniform and brushed your wet hair behind your ears, trying to appear as neat and dolled up as always, a habit that stuck with you ever since you were a little girl. Your parents made sure that your appearance would match your status as a wealthy Mitras girl. You hated it there, felt trapped and lonely. Some things that were taught to you stayed with you though, like taking good care of your body, always keeping your stuff clean or being polite. Of course, you learned to obey others, especially men, too. They prepared you to be a good wife. It scared you, made you feel sick; the thought of marrying a stranger gave you anxiety. It's why you decided to leave and enlisted in the Training Corps, making your parents disappointed. You felt guilty, as much as you do now. You displeased your Captain, the one you looked up to, the one that makes you eager to submit. You would do anything and perhaps, tonight you will. 
Those thoughts cross your mind as you stand in front of his office and private quarters. The upper ranks really have nice privileges. Your heart pounds against your chest, as you softly knock on the wood. Footsteps emerge as you fitch with the hem of your dress shirt. The door creaks open, revealing your Captain to you. He takes a step to the side, offering you access to his office with a spread arm. You don't look at him when you enter, head hanging low, and eyes fixed on the ground. Your punishment might be a severe one, probably physical discipline. He did punish you twice, made you run around the headquarters for three hours or leave out all the meals once. But this time is going to be much worse, and you know it's the way he looks at you that makes you question his sanity. You should feel ashamed of that. 
"You know Cadet, I could tell that you were on edge as of lately." He starts and takes a seat, making you stand opposite of his desk. 
"And I get it, we all are." He places his slender hands on the wooden surface, the same hands that caused you pain an hour ago. 
"But raising your voice against your Captain? Arguing with him, with me-“ he scoffs leaning forward.
"Now that's disrespectful on a new level. What happened? Did I finally break my favorite toy?" Levi mocks, a sinister expression on his usual stoic face. The last sentence got to you, eyes widening, a little displeased groan escapes you, eyebrows furrowing at the insult. Though, instead of sharing your discomfort with him, you simply answer: "Sorry Captain. It won't happen again." At that he rolls his eyes, shaking his head disappointed. 
"That did not answer my question. Did I break you yet, Cadet?" You wonder if the thought of emotionally dragging you down would please him. It would make sense, he always did show sadistic tendencies around you, bombing you with dehumanizing duties. You agreed to do them with a smile, hoping it would please him and it did. Now you wonder if it just egged him on to be much harsher with you. 
"I was close." You confess and fold your hands in your front, blankly returning his gaze. 
"Good. I hope you know why I'm pushing you harder than the others." His tongue slightly brushes over his dry lips, as he locks his steel-colored eyes on your form. You take a moment to think and hesitantly speak up after a few seconds. 
"I believe it's because I'm not as good as the others." A small smile spreads over his lips as he stands up again. You never saw him smile; it slightly starts to weird you out.
"Correct. You would die out there, I can't have that." Levi walks up to you in a slow pace, his relaxed state dominating the room. You swallow, taking a step back as he closes in. 
"Captain? May I ask why you can't have me dying?" A sight leaves him, as he places a hard on your shoulder, stopping you from moving. 
"Aren't you a nosey girl?" Your Captain states and places his other hand on your other shoulder as well. A bit of panic rises in your gut at the touch. The Captain was never one to show affection and this strange touch simply can't mean anything good. 
"Why did you order me here?" The question lingers in the air like a heavy prayer, making Levi's hands grip your delicate shoulders tighter. 
"Tch. Want me to show you?" He's seconds away from doing something stupid and both of you know it. 
"Yes, please." You murmur and break the contact of your stare, allowing him full authority. With excitement his hands glide from your shoulders to your waist, pulling you closer. He leans to the level of your ear, warm breath and the sudden closeness making you stiffen.
"What I'm going to show you is either a reward-" you feel his hands softly roam your curves, making you start shaking at the feeling it provides you. Not sure if it is desperation or despair, you let quiet whines out, encouraging him to grip your bum. 
"-or a punishment." You yelp as the same hand that caressed you moments ago gave your behind a harsh slap. Biting down onto your lip, you try to push him away from you to no use. He doesn't even buckle under your weak attempts.
"It's going to be up to you, silly Cadet." He whispers and slowly starts to move his head down your neck, placing tingling kisses at your vulnerable areas. Denying that his hands and lips feel pleasurable on your body would be a lie. It feels good, adrenaline rises in your gut as you think about how wrong this is. Superior ranks to yours shouldn't use you the way he does, after all you could report him for his inappropriate behaviors. Though it probably won't be to any good use, because Commander Erwin closed his eyes to the strange relationship of yours months ago. You know that most of the upper ranks suspect something between the two of you and yet nobody came to your help so far, because they don't want to anger Captain Levi. 
At some point you are a mess; cheeks flushed, heart beating rapidly, and your flesh is painted in bite marks. His hands hold you up and keep you from falling into his erratic body.
"Captain-" you wince and grip him weakly against your heated form, allowing even more contact between the two of you. 
"Hm?" He hums and lets his hand wander between your legs, making your posture stiffen. 
"This is wrong Captain, please-" you finish your sentence with a moan as his fingers dance circles around your clit, a wonderful sensation erecting in your abdomen.
"Shut up, it is not." He insists and slowly takes a few steps forward, making you stumble back at the unexpected movement. The both of you crash against his table and with a swift motion it's empty, papers and pens landing on the floor. He quickly makes use of your shocked self and pushes you down onto it, hour back connecting with the hardwood. A sound of pain rings through the room and it takes you a while to register what's happening. Levi presses your body down with his, his heavy breathing catches your attention and the next thing you notice is something hard against your thigh. At first you thought it was his hip bone, but after he starts rubbing it against you realization hits you. Feeling yourself blushing furiously, heat spreads through your stomach like a wildfire. You try to push him away, brushing his hand from you, which only causes him to grind harder against you. 
"No," you whine as he bites your earlobe. "Levi stop!" Your voice sounds muffled, a few tears run down your hot cheeks. He stills for a moment before resuming. Your hips arch upwards, pushing into his hardened length. He groans, mouth wide open while his eyes are squeezed shut. Moving his head from your shoulder to rest his face right below your ear, he whispers:
"You are to call me Captain, Cadet." His breath is warm against your neck, the rough sound of his deep voice sends shivers down your spine, and you let out a whimper that sounds like a plea. He smirks slightly, enclosing his hand around your throat. 
"And I'm calling you mine." He decides and opens your dress shirt, exposing your bodice and skin underneath. In a matter of a minute, you wrinkle completely naked underneath him; plank panic written on your face. He on the other hand is completely dressed, only making the effort to loosen the first two buttons of his shirt. His cravat is placed in your mouth to make you shut up and he observes you with dark eyes, while he pushes his sleeves up to his elbows. 
"You look so beautiful." He whispers and brushes over your cheek, wetting his thumb with your salty tears. His pupils are blown as he slowly fitches with his pants, pulling out his member to the cool air. 
"Please-" you cry out, not sure if you want him to continue or to stop. He looks good that way; black hair falling into his pale face and his posture hovering over your vulnerable form. 
"No, I deserve you this way." He breathes out and leans down.
"You are my subordinate, my soldier. Mine." He groans and starts to slowly rub circles between your already wet folds. 
"Ever since you joined the Scouts you have been nothing but submissive-" He trails off and enters you with his finger, making you whimper. 
Levi thrusts even harder and throws his head back until a deep growl rings through your ears and you feel him twitch. For a moment he thought about coming inside of you, impregnating you so you wouldn't have to attend the expeditions anymore. Eventually he decides against it, the risks of getting into serious trouble are too high. He watches as hot strings of his semen trip onto your lower bell, his face twisting in disgust. He grabs for a napkin in his pant pockets and cleans himself and your skin, making sure that not one single drop is left. He ever so slightly looks at you, trying to read your reaction. Are you scared? Pleased? He can't tell. 
"But I guess people can change, hugh?" He pulls out and leads his finger to his lips, greedily tasting you. Closing your eyes in shame, you bit down on the cloth between your lips, feeling the dip of something hot press against your entrance. You can't hold back your cry when he slides it inside you, stretching you open to take all you are willing to give. His pace increases slightly after he waited for a minute so you could adjust. His hands run through your hair, tugging at any loose strands. Your heart races and your hands ball into fists as you try your best to ignore the burning pain you are in. Levi doesn't stop once. With an angry grunt he slams himself inside and you moan loudly, wrapping your legs around his waist, digging your nails into his broad shoulders. The cloth in your mouths loosens and you take the opportunity, spitting it out.
"Captain. Please-" You cry as you feel your nails digging into his flesh, breaking his pure skin easily. The harsh movements of his hips slowly start to feel enjoyable, the slapping sound of skin ringing in your ears.
"I knew I liked you better when you were quiet." He breathes as he thrusts in and out of you, faster than before. When you thought about your first time it certainly didn’t cross your mind that it would be like this; rough and full hatred. Not understanding why, you would feel pleasure with the way he treats you, you close your eyes and let the sensation wash over you. Your body shakes with each stroke of his cock and your hands start to tremble. A sudden orgasm washes over you and you scream his name, letting it flow free through your clenched teeth. He growls low in his throat when he watches how your hips jerk up towards him. 
You breathe flatly, your back hurting from the hard surface underneath you. Your classy eyes watch the dancing flames of the chandelier above you with interest. You feel exhausted and lightheaded, the feeling of being empty again is weird. The sensation of your climax still lingering in your abdomen. 
"Sit up Cadet." Your Captain demands and helps you into an upright position. 
"Dress. Then help me with those reports." He gestures at the floor, while fixing his shirt, trying to appear not too casual. 
"Yes Captain." You obey his comment, collecting your uniform and undergarments that has been spread around his table. You notice his eyes on your naked body, making you feel uncomfortable. 
"Cadet." He catches your attention as your eyes meet. 
"You don't tell anyone about this. And don't even get the idea of spreading your legs for anyone but me." Levi demands in a grumpy manner. You glance at him, shocked and offended. Never would you dare to do this with any other person. 
"Oi! Do you understand that brat?" ‘
"Yes Captain Levi."

Levi Ackerman x Best friend!Reader!with Toxic Parent!ModernaotAU
Warnings: toxic parent, parents divorced
Just got into an argument with my parent and I needed to vent so here you guys go 🙂‍↔️ Levi is the best best friend ever and I needed that last week.
Also very much so unedited LOL
Includes : levi, Hange, Erwin
AOT MODERN AU
Tumblr media
Your parents had divorced when you were 17. Your sister was 13. Between graduating high school and helping your sister focus on her own studies you didn’t have time to mourn the loss. The loss was of your family, your mother.
 
In college is where you met your best friend, Levi. Erwin and Hange soon followed after.
 
It was two weeks in school. You were buried in quizzes, tests, and essays.
 
The library was full, and you were sitting at a table with four chairs. Your textbooks had taken over the table.
 
A few students had walked in and out of the library and you ignored them.
 
Until a hand slammed on your textbook.
 
You didn’t look up hoping it was a mistake.
 
Then the fingers began drilling as if impatient. Finally, a voice interrupted your thoughts, “um excuse me?”
 
You looked up to come face to face with a girl who resembled that of a typical high school bully.
 
I thought for sure we’d left that behind, you thought to yourself.
 
Choosing kindness you responded, “yes?” With a smile.
 
She began popping her gum, blowing a bubble before she continued, “My friends and I need this table.  There’s only one of you, so get up.”
 
You snorted, unable to take her seriously.
 
Her eyes narrowed, “Did I say something funny?”
 
You shook your head, “No sorry I just had something in my throat. I’m sitting here because the one person tables don’t have enough room for my textbooks.” You attempted to explain despite knowing you could have just said no and ignored her.
 
She stood up fully now, “Well maybe if you weren’t so dumb you wouldn’t need all this space to study.” She rolled her eyes.
 
You weren’t much of a bully and your own insults didn’t come easy. So, all you could do was stutter, “Uh…”
 
A new voice joined the convo. “Maybe if you weren’t a high school bully you abominable flamingo then we can all study in peace. Because you know, it is a study hall.” He spoke from behind you.
 
You turned your head just as the girls gasped. There stood a guy you could recognize from your other classes.
 
Levi something. The girl attempted to speak but shutting her up again he spoke, “You have an entire life to be an idiot. Why not take the day off?”
 
This time you couldn’t help but snorting. You caught it as your hand raised as if you were coughing. The girl glared at you but did walk away.
 
You turned to say thanks, but he was already walking away and towards a table where a blonde guy was sitting and a brown-haired girl. She was wearing glasses and waving dramatically at you.
 
Hesitantly you waved back. Despite the woman grinning and waving Levi didn’t look back.
 
You smiled at the memory. The next day, the girl tried to stop you in the hallway. But the girl who you learned was named Hange swooped in and dragged you away ignoring them.
 
She explained that if you were going to be such a target of bullying it would be smart to stick to them. You were exceptionally grateful. Most of your classes were with all three of them and if not at least one of them.
 
You were interested in becoming a professor and you soon learned they all were too. Erwin loved history. Hange science. Hilariously enough Levi and you both were interested in Literature.
 
Which is how you all ended up where you were now.
 
You and Hange were roommates. Levi lived alone and Erwin with his wife.
 
Petra Erwin’s wife had been out of town on a girl’s trip. So, you and Hange decided to have them over for an easy dinner.
 
Easy for Hange seeing as she loved to clean. You took on the cooking role often.
 
You’d already planned dinner and the beef was marinated ready for you to cook. You were currently picking up your sister as your dad was called into work for a Tech Reserve.
 
He’d be gone for the week.
 
You’d been listening to Ann your sister talk about her latest situation. She’d been laid off from her job with no warnings. It was a simple cleaning job she did 3 times a week. It was easy money and someone you all knew. She’d been working there for 3 years. And now at 19 she needed to start over. With a new resume and a new job. It hadn’t been a week since the message that your dad had pushed her to call every business down the street to see if they were hiring.
 
She currently wanted to work at a cafe, but he said no. Most of his reason based on paranoia alone. You attempted to give suggestions as to why he should let her work where she wanted but to no avail.
 
As you both arrived you parked the car in your driveway, “I’m going to call him, you can go ahead into the house. Hange is here,” you unlocked the car.
 
She turned to you uneasily, “if I can’t convince him, I don’t know that you can. And you know how he gets, why you moved out in the first place.”
 
You shook your head, “it doesn’t matter, I don’t live there anymore. He can't hurt me anymore. Besides, he must see reason.”
 
You both knew that wasn’t the case.
 
He was a great dad, he provided for all your needs and in days where you were short on money. He was there. Days you needed air in your tire, needed to borrow bug spray he was there.
But after the divorce, your father began comparing you to your cheating mother.
 
As a teenager you were still reeling from your own mother’s betrayal not just because she cheated… but also because she abandoned you and your sister. You wished so desperately for an escape. So, the first mention of needing a roommate from Hange you began working hard. Putting your affairs in order and saving money. When you turned 21 with your first teaching position you were out.
 
The first few months were blissful. No more comparing. No more sly comments, no more backhanded compliments. Or ordering around. Or doing things the way only HE wanted.
 
Apart of you felt sorry for leaving your own sister behind, but you had the tiniest inkling she’d be fine. Considering she was the favorite child. No matter how much she or he tried to deny it. It was all in the way he listened to her, or heard her out, didn't interrupt her, and even treated her like an adult. There were no backhanded compliments or talking about her in front of others.
 
Ann shrugged, before taking her bag and jumping out of the car. You watched her walk up to your front door before you opened your phone.
 
There were a few messages from the groupchat. Erwin saying he'd arrived. Hange letting you know she'd taken the meat out of the freezer. Levi texting you and the chat he was on the way with dessert and drink.
 
Knowing you were attempting to distract yourself from your task you opened the phone app. You took a deep breath, sliding to the contact that read 'Dadmight' and hit dial.
 
As he answered, you greeted one another as usual. The formalities were out of the way. Then he asked what was up.
 
Shakily you spoke, “Dad, I know you’re her parent and you have a right to give her suggestions. But don’t you think Ann should work where she wants to work? I mean at the end of the day, you may help her with her resume, and teach her how to do an interview but wherever she gets accepted she’ll have to do the job on her own. You won’t be able to help her or give suggestions. So she might as well,-“ he cut you off. You instantly could tell he was upset.
 
“No. Hush your mouth,” he began his own spill. You zoned out barely hearing his words. But recognizing a few.
 
Disrespectful. On your own. Relationship. Stay out of it. So many words ran together and just like when you were younger you keep your face blank. Your body moved out autopilot as you opened the car door. The anger in his voice was always the same. However cool night breeze instantly woke you. reminding you of your intentions.
 
“Hello? Did you hear me? I said-“ he began again repeating everything. You listened this time. As he accused you of trying to destroy his relationship with Ann. As he said your tone was disrespectful and how just because you moved out you didn’t get to talk to him that way.
 
“I’m not trying to attack you,” you cut in attempting to diffuse the situation.
 
“Be quiet! I’m not done, don’t interrupt me when I’m talking to you,” you attempted to not zone. Because of this a lump in your throat formed. As you fought to keep from blanking out every little word felt like an arrow hitting your body.
 
He was silent now.
 
“Okay dad, I’ll talk to you later. Bye,” you hung up the phone. Before you could start sobbing.
 
Apart of you angry at his disrespect but also angry at yourself. You didn’t live with him anymore. He couldn’t punish you or burst in your room and demand a conversation. You were on your own. In your own space that you built with Hange.
 
And he still affected you.
 
None of these thoughts helped you. Within in seconds, you started crying. Your tears kept coming without cause. You ripped your glasses off and through blurry eyes you swiped on your phone again and pressed on a new contact.
 
The phone rang and rang and rang. Until finally someone picked up.
 
You heard a familiar but weak voice. "Hello?"
 
"Mom?" You asked albeit a little confused. Your voice was clear but barely.
 
She sniffed clearing her throat, before answering you, "Yes? What's wrong?"
 
You cleared your throat enough to ask, "Are you crying? What's wrong?"
 
She began protesting, "No no I'm okay, what's up?"
 
You shook your head, "No you're crying!" You lost it again the tears spilling over, "we can't both be crying," the tears fell even harder. Your head aching at the sudden onslaught of tears.
 
Your mom sniffled again, "I'm sorry. Me and your aunt just got into it. What's wrong with you?" You could tell she wasn't in her right mind.
 
Still, you answered her question as she had yours, "Dad and I just got into it. But I'll just call you later, okay? Feel better," you mumbled as she agreed and said love you.
 
The conversation ended and you were not feeling any better. In fact, you were feeling worse. You took your glasses to your shirt, attempting to wipe the stain of tears off, before focusing on the cold tears on your face.
 
You didn’t notice a car had parked on your street. Or that Levi was walking towards you.
 
He didn’t seem to see your face, “I got that disgusting wine you like so much,” he raised the bottle as you attempted to wipe your tears. But they kept coming.
 
He stopped as he finally got a look at you.
 
“Are you crying?” He was close now, “Who were you talking to on that phone call?”
 
Phone call? Christ did he hear me? Panic hit you as you started laughing uneasily, “sorry the moon is just so pretty tonight,” you pointed up only to come face to face with clouds that were covering the moon. From the looks of it, the moon had been covered for awhile.
 
Levi’s expression turned deadpanned. As if he were saying, really? 
 
“Sorry,” you wiped the tears that had finally stopping coming, “dad and I just got into it. More like he laid into me,” you rolled your eyes.
 
You turned to your car, grabbing your own backpack from the back seat.
 
As you locked the door and began walking, he was in step with you. “You mean that heated voice was your dad?” His voice soured as if he couldn’t believe it.
 
You sighed, “Yeah. Well just now it was my mom. Before that it was my dad, I don’t think you’ve ever met him yet. He can be a bit of a jerk sometimes,” you turned to him now, “are my eyes red and can you tell I’ve been crying?” You asked hurriedly.
 
He paused. His eyes scanning your face. Before he could answer you assumed he was trying to find an easy way to say yes. Or a funny way knowing him.
 
“I knew it,” you turned your bag attempting to find a tissue, but he stopped you.
 
“No sorry, I was just admiring your beauty.” He spoke as if it were obvious.
 
You paused not expecting his direct words. Or the honesty. Before you could say anything else, he opened the door and walked in.
 
You could feel your cheeks warm but ignoring them you followed him shutting the door. You hung your backpack on the hooks where other purses and bags laid. You slipped your shoes off and your sweatshirt, leaving you in a pair of overalls and a frilly shirt. Sitting on the couch was your sister, Erwin and you assumed Hange was making drinks.
 
Your sister made a beeline for Levi pulling him an unwillingly hug. He humored her. And funny enough only her.
 
“Hey brat,” he pulled away from her.
 
You greeted Hange and Erwin and they smiled.
 
You grabbed the wine from his hand and headed straight for the kitchen. He followed behind you with your sister in tow.
 
She was sitting on the bar stools as you began washing your hands. You could tell she wanted to know how the phone call went.
 
Ann wouldn't be Ann if she didn't just say what was on her mind. And that she did.
 
"So, how'd it go?" She asked before popping a can of soda.
 
You'd already dried your hands and were rinsing out a glass of wine. Hange opened your 'disgusting wine' as Levi dubbed and was already pouring you a glass as you pulled out the beef you marinated just this morning.
 
You rolled your eyes, "How do you think it went?" You were annoyed, "then I tried to call mom and she was crying too! I told her we can't both be crying," you plugged in the rice cooker to prepare for the rice you were about to wash.
 
Ann snickered, "Not you both crying. What was up with her?"
 
You washed the rice in front of her at the sink now. "She said she got into it with her sister. I told her dad and I got into it and then I told her to get some rest. We hung up after that," you poured the rice out as your sister nodded.
 
Hange cut in with a glass of something, "I'm sorry did I just hear you say you got into it with your dad? I thought you left that behind," she leaned against the counter as you turned the stove on, throwing garlic with sesame oil in the pan.
 
You chuckled unamusedly, "Heh, yeah. See I did until he started being unreasonable towards Ann." You gestured now opening the pantry. You pulled the flour free so you could start on the Kimchi pancakes.
 
Erwin now joined all of you in the kitchen as Levi rolled his sleeves up preparing to clean up after you. You were too busy cooking and sipping to notice the small bit of trash you left behind. To Levi this was okay because it gave him something to do with his hands while you cooked for them.
 
Erwin set his beer on the bar pulling himself into the seat next to Anna, "How is he being unreasonable this time?" He asked curiously.
 
It had slipped your mind the last time your father truly got on your nerves you called Erwin. He brought you lunch at the day care you were interning at and listened to your agitated words. You were 19 at the time and your father had taken your car and your phone... all to make a point. You knew this to be the case because a few days later he'd given both items back. Erwin convinced you right then in there to NOT move out at 19 with only your recent check to your name. However, he offered his place as a refuge in case you ever needed it.
 
Thankfully, you had been able to hold out for a few more years.
 
Levi was surprised to hear Erwin's choice of words too. You'd chosen to keep Levi out of this part of your life, due to the fear that he and your father would become enemies. Of course, Levi never knew this.
 
As you remembered this, you came back from your thoughts to Ann explaining the situation. The others listened as she expressed her opinion on the situation. You poured the broccoli into a pan on the back of the stove, readying the sauce so it would steam just right.
 
"Do you want to tell us how the convo went?" Ann asked apart of curious but also cautious... between the two of you she was less likely to talk family business. You however had no qualms in this regard.
 
You mixed the Kimchi into the flour before setting the bowl in front of Ann. She pouted but got to work, as you leaned back and sipped.
 
"Yeah, so you know when I get excited sometimes I yell," you explained first.
 
Hange snickered, "Yell is an understatement. She was telling me about her latest enemies to lovers’ book in the car and I thought I lost my hearing."
 
You blushed deeply, your facial expression showing embarrassment, "Thank you Hange for proving the point that everyone else knows, I'm sure. Moving on," you stirred the broccoli before leaning against a counter again.
 
"So, I'm not sure if I was yelling or if it was my tone."
 
Ann cut in, "your tone can sometimes come across crazy."
 
You ignored her and kept talking, "I basically told him that even though he's Ann's parent he can help her or give her suggestions, but at the end of the day she's going to be the one doing the work. We all know whether you admit it or not you or a lazy person," you paused looking to Ann who was now flipping the first kimchi pancake.
 
"I am."
 
You bit a chuckle, "So I told him wouldn’t it make more sense if you let her work where she wants to work... so then she'll actually want to work and then later she can move up." You took a deep breath pausing for a moment to put the beef on the hot stove.
 
Hange was impatient. "So, what'd he say this time?"
 
You rolled your eyes, "First while I was talking, he told me to shut up and hush up and of course I laughed. Then he went into this spill about how I disrespect him and how I shouldn't talk to him in that tone. He said that just because I've moved out doesn't mean I can ruin his and Ann's relationship and that I needed to stay out of it," you were frustrated now.
 
The cup you were holding had been set down now and you were gripping the counter in anger, "Ugh I mean what makes him think I'm going to want to respect him if he treats me like that. I feel like every time we argue he treats me like dirt. Whether or not that's his intention that's how I feel," you turned to Hange now, "and this whole thing just made me truly realize why I dislike conversation about conflict or telling you how I feel. Any time I talked to him or try to tell him my point of view it turns into him thinking I'm attacking him or trying to take away his 'deserved' respect as a father. And then I shut down as you know Ann and so after the whole conversation and he finally went quiet I was just like, 'okay dad, I'll see you later,' and I just hung up. Then I was crying... not because of what he said or anything but because I was frustrated with myself for allowing him to still get to me." You couldn't look anyone in the eye as your felt your own frustration dissipate.
 
Hange was the first to speak up, "I'm sorry. I understand where you're coming from. Maybe with time he'll see our point of view. I feel like every time you mention him I want to like punch him in the face. Your dad is an interesting person, that's for sure."
 
You covered your mouth in shock before laughing at her statement. You then flipped the beef over in the pan as your laughed turned into a snicker.
 
Levi spoke up next surprising you, "What do you mean you 'shut down?'" His face didn't give away what he was thinking. Apart of you felt grateful worried he would think you were overreacting.
 
You were unsure if you wanted Levi to know this other side of you. The side your father only brought out. Interrupting your thought Ann however replied.
 
"She does this thing where her face goes blank. I feel like it's to protect herself from what he's saying. It's almost like she's disassociating, which is not good by the way. You need a therapist," your sister pointed out as she always did.
 
You couldn't help but snort, "So do you. But at the end of the day dad has taught me something," you leaned against the counter now allowing the chicken to cook on the stove.
 
"What's that?" Erwin curiously asked.
 
You grinned, "Not to marry anyone like him. Ann already knows if my future boyfriend acts anything like our dad, to hit me over the head."
 
Hange snickered, "Has she had to hit you over the head yet?"
 
Somehow knowing you wouldn't answer truthfully Ann chuckled, "I've hit her over the head for a few guys with red flags but none thankfully as bad as Dad."
 
Levi folded his arms, "Who have you dated?"
 
You kept silent, but Ann however did not care for your embarrassment.
 
She began cackling. "Oh you never told them did you?" You covered your face, "It was Chad! Remember him, right?" Ann smirked turning to the others.
 
Erwin began shaking his head, "I had to step in for Chad. That was truly one of your darkest moments (name). Gotta say I was a tiny bit disappointed."
 
You rolled your eyes, "Okay Erwin we get it. I have horrible taste in men."
 
Hange shook her head, "Not just horrible. Chad was like downright disgusting y/n! What did he do? Bat his eyelashes?"
 
You cringed. "What?? Nooo!" You didn't appear to be convincing.
 
Levi sighed. "Chad as in the college dropout Chad? The Chad who got kicked out of school our senior year?" Even he had the ability to look disappointed.
 
You turned away from everyone, "It's not my fault, I took his flirting seriously! I've never been flirt with," you gestured to yourself as if that would help your situation by any means.
 
Hange closed her eyes and softly shook her head. "Okay y/n you're right. We're sorry, although please tell me Chad was the only one," she turned to Ann who didn't appear to be in your favor.
 
Interrupting the stories that were soon to follow you spoke up, "Alright who's hungry?"
 
You were thankful for the short distraction. However, you were not expecting to catch the eyes of Levi. A curious look in his eyes.
Levi didn’t have parents. His mother died when he was young and he never met his father.
 
After that his uncle raised him until he was old enough to do something with his life. His Uncle Kenny was never much of a father.
 
Apart of him wondered what his life would have been like if he had his mother to raise him. Or if Kenny had stuck around to actually raise him properly.
 
Alas he would never know and now that he’s older he wonders if his thoughts and feelings on his parents would have changed.. if they were still alive. He was sure you still loved your parents because he knew just as well as anyone else a simple argument would never change that. However, a part of him began wondering if parent relationships were as black and white as he thought.
 
And how many times have you had to deal with your father in this way. How many times had he not been here to hear what was bothering you and understand what made you cry and why.
 
You approached Levi noticing him now deep in thought. The others had plates and were entertaining one another with a movie. You could hear the familiar Kung Fu Panda 2 intro.
 
"Hey, here's your plate," you whispered setting in front of him.
 
He looked up shock briefly taking over him, "Oh thanks."
 
You nodded watching him for a moment. It appeared he had something to say, so you gave him a moment. Your plate was sitting in front of you, and you took a sip of the 'disgusting' (deliciously sweet) wine.
 
Levi picked up his fork pausing for a second, "So how often do you and your father get in arguments?"
 
You stared at him attempting to gauge his thoughts. Like always he gave nothing away.
 
You shook your head hoping to be as convincing as you could and answered, "Not often."
 
He set his fork down, his eyes staring holes into your own, "Please do not lie to me."
 
You sighed turning away from him as your felt your throat weaken. Of course you had to be emotional.
 
Taking a few seconds, you turned back to him. "These days? Maybe once a month. Being out of the house has made it easier on our relationship. He still has opinions on things which is what we end up arguing over most of time," you rolled your eyes, moving the food on your plate around.
 
Levi nodded slowly, "How long has it been going on?"
 
You closed your eyes at his question... it had been nearly 4 years ago and still you remember every detail as if it was yesterday... maybe I really do need a therapist. Ann would gloat at you agreeing with her words.
 
You opened your eyes to see Levi looking at you with nothing but patience, so you spoke.
 
"Well, I was 17 and anna was 13 when mom left us. She cheated on my dad, they got a divorce and she and left anna and I for a year. She went zero contact, and we had no idea if she was dead or alive, what she was doing, and where she was. During that time, our dad was dealing with the divorce in a not so healthy way. He took it out on us, not super bad but sometimes he would compare me to mom. He said I would turn out just like her and he spent many nights talking to Ann and I about the way mom treated him and about how she had abandoned us. Ann hated mom for a long time because of this. Of course, we did our best to help him... and then he took up drinking. He was never physical, just very cruel with his words. One day... I got tired of him treating us like his therapists and from then on Ann became his favorite child."
 
Your story like past came to an end and you took the first bite of your meal as Levi took in your story. You could see his hands tense and his jaw locked.
 
He bit the inside of his cheek as he looked up now staring you in your eyes, "Y/n what was Erwin talking about? When he said he had to step in."
 
Your eyes flashed in embarrassment, "Oh yeah that. Dad got upset because Ann took up for me over something stupid and he laid into her. I mean he was telling her to shut up and I snapped. I told him he couldn't talk to her like that, how he had the issue with me and not to take it out on her. I was 19 and he took my car away and he shut down my phone," you chuckled at the memory, "and that punishment didn't last but 3 days because I was working full time and he didn't want to have to drive me to work every day. I remember being so pissed off because after all of that... he pouted like a child for days, ignoring me until I apologized." You shook your head, your anger surfacing for a second.
 
"Sometimes he makes me so angry," You whispered as if ashamed, "and there were some days where I hated him so much. I couldn't even look at him and say 'I love you' back.... because I wasn't sure if I did."
 
You felt a hand rest on yours, but you couldn't bear to look at him because the nights previous tears were begging to be shed.
 
For the first time ever, you heard Levi apologize. Not because of something he did... but instead on behalf of your father. You shook your head, "Levi please... Don't apologize for something you haven't done. I'd ask him to apologize but he's too arrogant to think he's at fault. It's just something I'll have to live with," you turned your hand, both of your palms facing one another.
 
He gripped your hand tight. "Well, you won't have to alone, that's for sure." He squeezed your hand in his, the pressure assuring you of his words, "And for the record, I'm more apologizing for the fact I wasn't there." He lifted your hand to his chest as if holding it there would help him more.
 
You rolled your eyes attempting to fight off a smile, "It's not your fault again, I purposefully kept you out of the loop, so the first time you met him would be a neutral conversation for you."
 
"Too late for that." His lips barely lifted into a smirk, "Let's just hope your old man respects you otherwise we'll have a problem."
 
You sighed, shaking your head, "Of course we will."
 
You stood from the bar stool, prepared to put your plate away, but as always Levi took over. Without a word his eyes telling you to stay exactly where you were.
 
Afterall... cleaning was his domain, and you did really like to watch him clean.
 
 
Extra;
*kung fu panda 2 playing in the background*
*Hange, Erwin, and Ann were sitting on the couch halfway paying attention to it*
Hange: Ten bucks they're dating in the morning.
Erwin: Make it 15 and it's a deal.
Ann: Make it 50 and you're both on.
**
Levi: I do really like you but also if we confirm the dating rumors your sister gets some extra cash... which works for us both...
Y/N: Sooo are you doing this for the cash? Or because you like me?
Levi: Like is actually the biggest understatement... I love you.
Y/N: shut uppp

What about levihan through the eyes of other parents at the school when they drop off their kids. Hange usually drops off the kids but was busy was work so Levi had to. Levi being nonchalant but a little worried that he might give off a bad impression which could affect their kid's life at daycare. Hange laughing and reporting the next day that most parents had a crush on Levi what with him being affectionate with their kid, preparing lunch and making sure their kid was cleaned. How he is now the husband the mothers want to have.
Tumblr media
so i tweaked both prompts a bit but i hope you still enjoy what i came up with!!
Bad children do not exist. There are unruly ones, yes, undisciplined too, disobedient and rude, and some too angry for their own good, but there is not a single child that you cannot redeam with a bit of kindness, patience and understanding.
That's the first lesson that Petra learnt as she became a teacher at the preschool, and this belief remains unchallenged even after many years of work.
Although no one came quite as close to making her rethink it than an adorable ball of happiness with two pigtails who goes by the name Mia. 
The girl is an angel, there is no denying that, she’s kind and curious, and her mere presence fills the room with warmth, but god almighty, Petra definitely doesn’t envy the girl’s parents. Her energy appears to be unending and her curiosity seems to know no limits. Mia is interested in seemingly everything around her and anything that captures her attention must immediately be studied in great details - if she sees a peculiar tree, she has to climb it, if a rain filled the ground with poodles, she has to jump in each and every single one that happens on her way, if she notices a flower, she has to smell it, if it’s a berry, she absolutely must taste it. Petra can only guess how many stones the girl finds to be ‘cool’ she has stashed at her house. 
And the most unusual thing about Mia is how different she is from her father. Levi is probably the most reserved man Petra has ever seen. He is quiet, a man of so little words that it sometimes seems that he prefers to communicate with only nods, grunts and occasional one-syllable words. He is also surprisingly peculiar about cleanliness - always clean-shaven, wearing clothes that have not a single crease and never, ever a stain, he even smells like soap and washing powder. If it wasn’t for Mia’s features, her black hair and narrow, grey-blue eyes that she undoubtedly inherited from Levi, Petra would never guess that the man is her true father.  
So alike to one another, father and daughter act like direct opposites. Mia is loud, while her father is quiet, she is expressive, while he’s reserved, she's unbelievably messy even for a kid, with hands often covered in dirt and pants marked by caked mud, while his appearance remains impecable, no matter the circumstances, she is warm and kind, while he appears to be distant and cold. 
And yet, one has to be completely blind not to notice just how much Levi loves and treasures his child. He provides the girl with everything she can possibly need - he brings her extra clothes in case she needs to change, makes her lunch and her favorite juice when she doesn’t want to eat at school, fills her little frog-shaped backpack with toys, coloring books, pencils of all colors, a small shovel and a bucket so that the girl can dig up and collect all the cool stones that she comes across. 
So, it’s not at all surprising that Levi is impossibly popular with every mother at their school. Loving, gentle and attentive, he’s an example of a perfect father, and, of course, a no less perfect husband. Although he does wear a wedding ring, it doesn’t stop most women from desperately trying to get his attention. He gets surrounded by them every time he brings Mia over, and no matter how many of them he politely, but firmly rejects, his popularity not diminishes even a bit. It seems that his aloof, distant persona only adds to his charisma. 
Petra honestly feels bad for him, such constant and clearly unwanted attention must be quite grueling, but- even she can’t deny that she developed a sort of crush on the man, although she does her best to conceal it. She knows better than to chase a married man, after all. 
She does wonder, and not seldom, just what kind of a person Levi is married to. As far as Petra’s aware, no one at their school has ever seen his wife, Levi is the one, who always drops off Mia and he’s the one, who always takes her home. But it doesn’t seem that she’s completely absent from the family, she’s just a very busy person, or so Mia says. It’s obvious that the girl adores her mother no less than she adores her dad; when she feels like talking about her, there is no stopping her ramblings. If Mia is to be believed, her mother is the smartest person in this world, a scientist, who works tirelessly to make their lives so much better. And although Petra has never met Mia’s mother personally, she’s inclined to believe every word that the girl says about her. After all, the person, who managed to raise a child as precious as Mia and not only earn, but to also keep Levi’s love and devotion, must be nothing short of extraordinary. 
Most moms of the school would disagree, however. In their opinion, Mia’s mother is the most despicable person on this planet, a cruel, heartless person, who cares not for her child and even less for her husband, who surely is a gift from the heavens above. 
So, naturally, when the day comes that Mia is dropped off not by her father, but her mother, it causes quite an uproar amidst teachers and parents alike. 
Everyone at school turns speechless, when they see Mia hand in hand with a tall, slim brunette in glasses, who wears a grin nearly identical to the one that Mia always sports. 
“Good morning all of you, I’m Hange!!” Mia’s mother exclaims in a voice so cheerful and warm that it’s impossible for Petra not to answer the greeting with a smile of her own. “Since my precious husband feels a bit under the weather, I’ll be performing the role of a doting parent today! Mia,” Hange kneels before her daughter, pulling the kid for a swift forehead kiss. “Be good, don’t annoy your teachers too much, and… what dad usually says to you?” 
“Don’t get in trouble?” Mia offers with a delightful chuckle. 
“Mm, yes,” a thoughtful frown appears on Hange’s forehead, “I’m afraid I can’t in good conscience forbid you from doing that, so… don’t get into too much trouble, alright, pumpkin?” 
“I’ll try my best!” 
“Good,” Hange smiles and ruffles the girl’s hair. “Now, go, your friends are probably already waiting for you. I’ll take you home at… four o’clock, right?” she asks, causing a wave of disapproving murmurs all around the playground. 
“Dad usually takes me home at three,” Mia corrects with quiet amusement she definitely inherited from her father. “And…” she adds with a mischievous glint in her eyes that Petra now sees she got from her mother. “He also takes me out for ice-cream afterwards.” 
“Take you home at three, then treat you to ice-cream, got it. Anything else, my dear?” 
“Well, there is this game dad promised to buy for me, and also…”
Petra decides it’s time for interruption, gentle, albeit firm.
“Mia,” Petra approaches the girl with a slight frown on her face. “All the kids are already on the playground, why won’t you go and join them?”
Mia huffs, but takes the backpack out of her mom’s arms and, after waving at her one last time, hurries to the playground. 
Watching her kid, Hange emits a fond sigh, then turns to Petra. 
“I know that Levi doesn’t actually take her out for ice-cream every day,” she admits. “Says that sugar is bad for children and all that. But the kid should be pampered from time to time, don’t you think?”
“In reasonable amounts, yes,” Petra agrees. 
Hange lets out a short chuckle. “That's something me and my husband disagree on, usually, but… she seems happy enough, no?” 
“She does. Mia’s a nice kid. And already very smart.”
“And so cute!” Hange gushes, her eyes glinting. “She’s Levi’s little copy, isn’t she? Just without his ever present scowl.” 
“I… guess?” Petra murmurs, not quite sure if the answer was the expected of her or not. 
“Maybe, we’re not that bad at it, after all,” Hange whispers, seemingly to herself. She observes her daughter for another moment, then turns to Petra, blinding her with a radiant smile. “Thank you for looking after her. I know Mia isn’t the easiest one to handle.” 
The girl certainly isn’t, with her constant thirst for adventures and surprising stubbornness at times, but Petra doesn’t say it out loud. Hange appears to be a good mother, who cares for her daughter no less than her husband does, and Petra feels the need to ease her worries. 
“You raised her good,” she says, reaching out to squeeze Hange’s forearm reassuringly. “She’ll blow us all away one day, I have no doubt.” 
“Let’s hope she’ll do it in a metaphorical way, eh?” 
Petra joins Hange in her laughter. 
After spending a few more moments gazing at her kid, Hange leaves, and when she does - the hushed whispers around the playground stop being so hushed. Without even trying, Petra hears other parents discuss Hange, critic her admittedly a bit messy appearance and scorn at her forgetfulness and supposed carelessness. Although, after observing her interaction with her daughter, no one dares to claim that Hange is cruel and heartless and doesn’t care for her child. 
The talks about Mia’s mother don't die out for weeks to come, even as Levi returns to his duties, and they reach a crescendo, when one sunny day Mia arrives at school hand-in-hand with both of her parents and the biggest smile Petra has ever seen on her little cute face. 
Mia’s mom and dad drop her off, then stay a little to watch over their daughter, as the rest of the adults turn to watch over them. 
Petra is no exception, of course, she is no less curious to witness the relationship between Levi and Hange, and pretty quickly she comes to the conclusion that they share a bond only few are lucky to experience. The subtle, quiet affection with which Levi gazes at his wife is as surprising as it is beautiful, and the loud fondness that Hange expresses so freely towards her kid and husband is amusing and heartwarming. 
Levi’s popularity doesn’t decrease even after that, although invitations to coffee dates become nearly nonexistent. 
After all, there is no chance of winning over a man, who’s already dedicated his heart to another.

For Me (Levi Ackerman x Reader)
CHAPTER ELEVEN: LUCKY
Tumblr media
warning: spicy content ahead! you've been warned
Finally, you've finished your novel. After about 3 weeks of endless writing sessions, it's complete. You email the document to your editor, feeling accomplished as you press send. You can't help but get excited thinking about your book publishing and going back on a small book tour. You text Mikasa that you finished the book and when it's done being edited, she can have the first copy. 
Levi has been texting you all day, but to no avail. You're very good at ignoring. You hum to yourself as you shut your laptop and grab a few things to keep at Levi's place. You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, noticing every detail of your body. Petra looks nothing like you. She's short like you, but she's more frail and petite. Her hips aren't full like yours, and you bet she doesn't have cellulite on her thighs. Her hair is pin straight, not like yours which is thick and wavy, sometimes hard to manage. 
You glance at your phone: 5:45 PM. Levi will be calling at any moment. You pull your tote bag over your shoulder when you hear a knock at your door. 
"Who is it?" You raise an eyebrow.
"Levi." 
You open the door to reveal Levi standing in your doorway with about 4 dozen red roses. 
"Levi, what is this?" 
"Roses." Levi points out the obvious.
"Well I can see that. Why?" 
"You left my office upset." 
"You keep pointing out obvious things, Levi. Why did you get me flowers?"
"I'm sorry for not telling you about Petra." Levi looks down. "I really didn't think it mattered. But once you brought up you working with an ex, I understood." 
You take the roses from Levi, letting the aroma fill your nostrils. "You should've kept these at your place. I'm there more."
"You're bringing them with you tonight. But I wanted to surprise you with them."
"Please start talking more, Levi." You set the flowers down on the counter. "You need to communicate things with me. If you warn me ahead of time, I won't get upset." 
"I'm not good at that." 
"Well no shit." You laugh, taking a deep breath. "We'll work on it." 
"We'll work on it." Levi repeats, grabbing the flowers and your bag. "What did you do today?"
"I actually finished writing my novel. I sent it to my editor this morning." You smile at Levi, finally letting the anger leave your body. 
"Mikasa will be-"
"I already text her." You laugh. Levi's face looks gentle now. Mikasa is a soft spot for him - his little cousin who lost both of her parents. He's always looking out for her no matter what. 
Levi actually sits and chats with you for a bit before you both headed back to his place. He tells you about the latest deals that Ackerman Inc is presenting and how exhausting it is to work with Hange sometimes. 
"We should go to the coffee shop this weekend." You cross your right leg over your left. "We haven't been in awhile."
"You're right, we haven't." Levi nods. "It's settled then. We'll give our favorite barista a visit." 
A Month Later
"My editor finally got back to me!" You squeal as you open your email and hold your phone in front of both you and Levi. You scroll her eMail to see the words 'Congratulations! You're getting published!'
"Congratulations my love." Levi kisses your temple. You were cuddling on the bed, watching your favorite trash tv show. Your back was pressed against Levi's chest, his legs wrapped around you and his fingers skimming over your skin. "I have a feeling this one is going to be a best seller." 
"This could catapult my career." You smile as you type a response to your editor. "This could mean I can afford a house." 
"About that." Levi grabbed your phone and set it on the nightstand. "I have a house."
"You're right, you do. We're sitting in it." 
Levi has gotten much more touchy lately. His hands are all over you - at least at home. In public, it's very rare that he will do anything more than holding your hand. He runs his fingers through your hair, twisting it around his index finger. 
"I have a house with plenty of space."
"Levi you're pointing out the obvious again." 
"Live with me." Levi whispers against your temple, planting kisses to your cheek. "Your lease is up soon anyways." 
"I'm not sure." You turn to face Levi. "I would want to pay for some of the mortgage -"
"The house is paid off already." 
"What about groceries?" 
"Princess, it's yes or no." 
He knows you melt when he calls you princess. In bed or outside of the bed.
"Will you meet my family first? I don't want them to think I'm moving in with a random rich man. They might think you're my sugar daddy." You giggle, rolling yourself over so that you're now straddling Levi's waist.
"If that's what it takes for you to move in with me, yes." Levi presses his lips to yours gently while he places his hands on your waist, one of his hands traveling to your ass. He squeezes gently as he kisses you, letting his tongue invade your mouth. You feel your core pulsing already, undoubtably soaked from the contact. Every time you and Levi fuck, it's like the first time again. Just as exciting.
You wrap your arms around Levi's neck, your tits almost spilling out of your tank top. Levi takes this moment to plant kisses from your lips, down your neck, to your chest. His lips attach to your right tit as he bites and sucks around your nipple, before pinching it gently between his thumb and index finger. He then takes the nipple in his mouth, sucking on the nub gently. His other hand is massaging your other breast, making sure to give them both attention. Your core is definitely soaked now and you still have all of your clothes on. 
Levi brings his face to yours, his eyes half lidded. "Sit on my face." 
"Excuse me?" 
"Sit. On. My face." Levi emphasized each word. 
"I'm not sure, I-"
"You're not sure of what?" Levi's voice is sultry, just above a whisper as he kisses your neck. 
The truth is, you've never sat on someone's face before. You've always been too scared of being too much for them.
"Spit it out, brat." Levi bites the skin on your neck gently, leaving a red/purple bruise. 
"What if I hurt you?"
"Tch." Levi sucks his teeth as he pushes himself downwards on the bed. You're now sitting on his chest, feeling his breaths. "Are you gonna sit there or are you gonna sit on my face and let me make that pretty pussy come?"
You slide your pants off to the side, watching Levi's facial movements. He's so focused on you it's like theres no one else in this world that exists. 
You hover your pussy over Levi's mouth for a moment, watching as his hands plant on your ass to bring you down. You feel his nose first, then his tongue slips into your pussy. Levi's hands tighten around your ass as he licks every crevice, sucking gently on your clit. You begin moving your hips as he devours you, and you receive a smack on the ass. 
"Mmm." Levi's words vibrate against your pussy. He does this for his enjoyment at this point. "You're such a good girl. Always so wet for me." 
You throw your head back as your walls begin to pulsate around Levi's tongue. "Fuck." Your toes curl as Levi continues to suck, lick, and eat every inch of your pussy. "Levi, baby -" You moan his name, feeling him smack your ass a bit harder this time. 
"Come all over my face, princess. Make me proud." 
You ride out your high, Levi slowly reducing the speed of his tongue. When you slide off his face, his lips are glistening with your arousal. His lips are painted a light shade of red. He looks so kissable with his swollen lips. You whimper at the loss of contact from your pussy. "I need you inside of me."
"Please." Levi presses his lips to yours so you can taste your arousal. "Say please."
"Please, baby." You rarely call him baby outside of the bedroom, which you think he likes. Levi sits up on his knees, flipping your body around so that your back is on his chest. You hear him take off his shirt and pants, throwing them to the side.
"On your knees." Levi orders. You lean on your knees and feel him place his hands on each side of your hips, shimmying you down his cock.
Reverse cowgirl. This is new. 
Levi brings his right hand to the front of your neck, pushing your jawline so you're looking at him. "Who's pussy is this?" 
"Y-yours." You moan as Levi thrusts his entire length into you. 
"I can't hear you." 
"Yours. Levi Ackerman's." You lean your head back on his shoulder, grinding your hips. "Fuck. My pussy will always be yours." 
"That's right. Good girl." Levi thrusts harder into you, squeezing your neck gently with his thumb and index finger. "You look so pretty from here." 
Levi has been the only man that could make you come multiple times in one session. Your 2nd orgasm crashed into you unexpectedly, causing your legs to tremble and move frantically. "Levi, fuck." You squeeze your eyes shut as the entire world fades away. You feel Levi's cock twitch, letting you know he's close too. He doesn't ask where you want him to come anymore, he just stays insides and paints your walls. 
You're both panting, not willing to move an inch. "God, you're beautiful." Levi pushes a few pieces of hair out of your face and kisses your cheek. "How did I get so lucky?"

Tumblr media
Although you weren't too surprised at your ex-boyfriend's lack of timeliness in terms of dropping off your belongings, you still cursed at yourself for being naive. You remembered waiting a week before shooting Zack a text message with a drop-off point to meet up for your belongings, in which he only responded with "I'll get to it when I get to it". You knew that this roughly translated into the fact that he would be taking his sweet time getting you your stuff, if he would even bring it to you at all.
You didn't have a car and you certainly didn't want to ask Levi to borrow his with how adamant he was on ignoring your existence. Luckily, one of your "close" friends was also in town due to a summer on-campus job, so you were able to go shopping for living supplies with her.
You and Petra had been friends since high school and you appreciated her existence, but you couldn't help but feel like she was only tolerating you instead of actually being your friend. It was always you reaching out and any attempts at bonding were half-assed at best. Still, she was the only reliable person in town at the moment—and you at least got to vent about Levi to her.
You had lived with your ex-boyfriend for around three years before breaking up and getting kicked out of his apartment. This was actually your first time navigating this type of situation on your own, but you were determined to make it work, no matter how much of a dick Levi was intent on being.
"He's just been kind of ignoring me," you muttered as you sat in the passenger's seat of Petra's car. The two of you were headed towards Chosahei Cafe. You had been spending your free time there the past couple of days and you enjoyed the atmosphere there, minus Levi. 
"He barely responds to text messages and barely even acknowledges me at home. Trying to initiate conversation with him is like pulling teeth," you continued.
"Maybe he's shy?" Petra suggested innocently. 
You looked at her with an "are you kidding me?" expression. You were never sure if Petra was blindly positive or simply naïve, both were irritating to deal with. 
"Well, you'll be able to see him for yourself if he's working his shift today," you mumbled as you saw the café come into sight as Petra pulled into the parking lot.
"You still come into this café despite the fact that he works here?" 
"Well, I figured if he's going to be a dick and continue ignoring me, then I'll be as much of a pain in the ass to him as I can be."
"You're petty." 
You scoffed at Petra's comment without responding as you got out of the car, swinging your backpack that was no longer overpacked over your shoulder. 
As you glanced at the entrance to the café, part of you wondered if Levi was working there at the moment. It would determine how enjoyable and productive your time at the café would actually be.
You found yourself sighing in relief when he wasn't.
"No Levi today?" you asked as you waved and smiled at Onyakopon.
"Thank goodness," you muttered, which earned a chuckle out of the barista.
Instead of taking your regular seat at the coffee bar near the tea station, you elected to sit with Petra at a small two-seat table in the corner of the café so that the two of you could chat regarding your plans for the upcoming school year.
You proposed the idea of a honors society social club towards the end of last year before shit hit the fan with your ex-boyfriend. The two other officers of the club were still off-campus for a few more weeks, so you couldn't do any serious planning ahead of time. On top of the club, you also had to think about your capstone project for graduation. Although you were primarily an English major on the creative writing track, your curriculum was a bit more individualized. As a result, your capstone project to graduate was to write and publish a light novel.
You had gladly accepted the additional requirements for your major last year before things fell to shit. You had everything planned out, such as how much you should write each month or how much time you'd dedicate to outlining versus actually writing. However, the whole situation with your ex-boyfriend threw everything out of proportion. Your grades in the spring semester plummeted—you even had to take an incomplete for a few classes—and you missed out on four months of writing, which left you horrifically behind. Luckily, it wasn't enough to throw your graduation into jeopardy, but it meant that these next two years would require you to work your ass off. 
On top of that, you had to make sure your baseline grades were satisfactory enough to keep your helicopter parent-style aunt off your ass. Ever since your parents passed, your aunt had picked you up, including offering you food, shelter, and financial assistance at the expense of subjecting you to her somewhat emotionally abusive behavior. 
"You sure you're able to do all that?" Petra asked. It wasn't that she doubted your abilities. She had seen how much of a mess you were the previous year and knew that keeping all of this up would be difficult, even without the emotional strain of everything in your personal life.
You stayed silent for a while.
"I have to try," you whispered. 
You knew that it was going to be exceptionally difficult to even stay afloat if you don't get your shit together. You told yourself that this year would be different—you'd be more independent and focus on school and school alone. You wouldn't bother yourself with relationships or be too preoccupied with superficial friendships.
You had to—your schooling, career prospects, and even relationship with your last living family member depended on it.
~~~~~
In addition to all of the things you had to accomplish with school, you also had to do with your less than pleasant roommate every single day. 
Levi Ackermann was an absolutely terrible roommate. You could not think of anyone worse. Even your ex-boyfriend, had he not been your ex, would might have been a more pleasant person to be around.
Levi was a clean freak. Although you weren't a particularly messy person, it apparently still wasn't enough for his standards. You remember you left a mug and plate overnight in the sink once and Levi spent the next 24 hours grumbling about being stuck with a "filthy" roommate and how you were going to be a magnet for pathogens. You vaguely knew that he was doing research in something related to immunology, but this behavior was too extreme even for that. Even if you did agree with him regarding the dishes, grumbling passive aggressive comments underneath your breath the entire day was certainly not an effective method of communication. 
You were both light sleepers. However, this was primarily only an issue for you. Levi apparently rarely slept. You would notice him wandering around the apartment throughout the night or even pacing in his room. While he wasn't noisy by any means, you also being a light sleeper meant that you were always acutely aware of his movements throughout the night. His inability to sleep was also beginning to affect yours. You had made sure that you made a mental note to buy earplugs the next time you went shopping with Petra, although you doubt that would have helped much.
One day, you found yourself scrambling around in your room, digging through your backpack and wallet. You facepalmed as you realized that you forgot to pick up your laundry card from your landlord and she was out of town for the next two weeks.
You awkwardly knocked on Levi's door. You were out of clean laundry. You hated being forced to interact with him, much less ask him for help, but you had little choice. 
Your grumpy roommate slightly cracked his door open and peeked at you through it with an annoyed expression.
"What do you want?" he asked in an unnecessarily annoyed tone. "I'm busy."
"Doing what?" you asked, matching his frown. "Staring at your laptop screen all day again?" 
You didn't actually care about whatever it was that he was doing. As long as he didn't bother you, you couldn't care less about his day-to-day activities.
He didn't answer.
"Whatever," you said, trying to contain your irritation. "I forgot to pick up my laundry card from the landlord. Can I borrow yours? I'll Venmo you."
Levi remained silent and continued to frown at you. A suffocating feeling arose within him. You had only been living with him for a little under two weeks, but he could already tell that you were going to be an absolute pain in his ass throughout the next couple of months.
He walked away.
You were bewildered with his behavior and apathy towards you.
"Are you serious-"
However, before you could finish scolding him regarding how petty he was being, he reappeared and held his laundry card in between his index and middle finger, holding it in your direction. 
He paused before completely handing it to you.
"Don't make this a habit," he said curtly, immediately shutting his door after you took his card.
You were grateful that he lent you his card, but you still had to take more than a few deep breaths to contain your frustration. You were already wanting to rip his stupid, obnoxious head off.
Why did I have to be stuck with the worst roommate imaginable?
There was no way that you could even fathom being stuck living with Levi for the next year.
The one positive in the sea of negatives was that you had rent and utilities figured out in terms of splitting the bill. That's what ultimately mattered, so that's what you tried to focus on, although ignoring everything else wasn't exactly easy. Even setting up payments was a pain in the ass. 
He was fine with handwriting an old-fashioned check and mailing it out. You were not. You didn't understand why you'd leave so much up to chance in terms of trusting that he'd get the check written in time and that the postal service would get it to your landlord on time. 
You opted to set up an automatic payment system through your leasing company's website. The fact that it existed and Levi never utilized it was astonishing. You set up automatic payments as well as spreading out bill due dates throughout the month so neither of you would have to worry about having to be overwhelmed with one gigantic bill at the end of the month. You really thought he'd be grateful that you were taking the time and energy to set all this up to make both your lives easier. He wasn't.
"Anything else you have a problem with, Matcha Girl?" he grumbled as he typed into his phone.
"Matcha Girl?!" you exclaimed, surprised at his unnecessary nickname for you. 
You glanced over at his phone and saw that he was typing your nickname that you never consented to into your contact information, replacing your name with it. You scoffed at him in disbelief.
He looked up at you with a neutral expression.
"What? Are you not obsessed with your Matcha's? It's all you ever fucking order."
You clenched your jaw, finding yourself frustrated for the umpteenth time at him.
"You're a dick."
"You're a pain in the ass," he responded immediately, barely letting you finish your sentence.
Surviving this next year was really going to be impossible.
~~~~~
Levi found himself unable to concentrate. It was entirely your fault. He was sure of it. 
Outside of reading at home and working at the café, Levi found himself being forced to labor away his time in lab. He was one year into his immunology PhD program and performed research regarding pathogens and the various effects of the different types on the human body. It wasn't the only reason, but it largely contributed to his status as a "clean freak". 
He sighed to himself as he continued neatly writing in his notebook. He had just finished analyzing his slides and needed to jot the preliminary data before moving on to code it into the department computer. He wasn't particularly tech savvy, which contributed to how tilted he found himself at your insistence on using your leasing company's website to handle everything. Of course, you didn't need to know that. The less he had to interact with you, the better. 
Levi groaned out loud as he heard the door noisily open as someone barged in, carrying too much in their arms than they could handle.
"If you fall and injure yourself, it's entirely your fault, four-eyes," he grumbled.
This so-called "four-eyes" stumbled into the room before noisily setting a myriad of lab equipment onto the table—mostly pipettes and beakers, but they had also finagled a microscope into their grasp.
Levi shot them an unamused look.
Erwin's lab primarily consisted of himself, Levi, and Hange, with Levi as the PhD student he was mentoring, and Hange as the lab tech that kept the lab running. There was the occasional undergraduate student, but this was rare.
"Oh c'mon, it can't possibly be that bad!" Hange exclaimed after listening to Levi vent about his new roommate situation for a few minutes. "_____ seems sweet."
Levi scoffed at their last comment.
"Yeah, when you're not living with her. I'm going to strangle Miche when he visits in October."
"For what? Getting a job?" 
Levi remained silent at Hange's comment. He knew he had no valid reason to be mad at Miche for moving, he just hated the fact that he had to deal with you as a roommate.
"You're mad because she's an undergrad, aren't you?" Hange asked quietly.
Levi grunted and continued jotting down his notes, clearly no longer interested in continuing the conversation.
"Don't you remember your undergrad days?" Hange prompted.
"What's worth remembering?" he grumbled.
Levi always found himself incredibly irritated around undergraduate students. They were constantly running around, buying their cheaply made lattes, partying on the weekends, and generally being able to breeze through college through their parents' funding—all things he was never even given the chance to enjoy or explore.
Levi's mother had passed when he was a child. As a result, he was raised by his uncle, who couldn't be bothered to give a shit about schooling. Levi's financial aid got fucked up due to his uncle's lackluster performance in being a parent helping their kid get into and through college—which resulted in Levi having to work overtime through undergrad and pulling some strings with the academic advising office so that he could still get his degree despite having his family situation as an additional source of stress. He never got the traditional college experience, so he found himself irrationally pissed off at the more typical undergrads that didn't seem to give a single fuck about everything happening in the background that allowed them to have their "fun college experience".
"Oh y'know," Hange muttered in response to his rhetorical question. "Like figuring out how to navigate the world for the first time on your own."
They looked up and saw Levi glaring at them as if he was trying to murder them with just his gaze alone.
Levi always had to figure it out "on his own". Even around his uncle, he basically had to raise himself. He doubted that there was a single thing that Hange—or anyone—could say that would decrease his ire.
"Levi," a voice said.
Levi internally sighed as he turned to face his PI. 
"Let's chat," Erwin said, gesturing to his office. "I want to discuss your project."
Since Levi was already irritable at baseline, he felt himself rapidly exiting his window of tolerance when Erwin began chatting about how he had been falling behind on research updates or literature reviews. What Erwin didn't know was that Levi was forced to work more for the past few weeks due to his moving situation, although it was unlikely that he would've done much to accommodate.
He still had three years before he needed to finish his PhD, and he could technically be granted extra semesters to finish his study, but being able to graduate in the standard four years seemed like the path of least resistance. Every other option required extra steps that gave Levi more than just a headache. 
Levi decided to head home after the irritating back-to-back conversations he had been forced to endure over the course of the day. The only thing he wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and forget everything regarding real life, including labwork and the café. More than anything, he wanted to avoid thinking about his housing situation, but he knew that would be next to impossible. That further irritated him.
He groaned silently to himself as soon as he walked in the door and saw you on your laptop on the couch. You had your hair up in a messy ponytail and had already settled in for the night, wearing sweatpants and a loose t-shirt. 
His following groan became audible as he noticed you approaching him.
"Hey," you said quietly, "I think we got off to a bad start."
You paused for a while to give Levi a chance to respond. He remained silent.
"But I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you letting me move in and working with me to get everything figured-"
"Just don't drag your undergrad shit home and we'll call it a day," Levi muttered as he cut you off, not interested in having a real conversation regarding the topic. He's had one too many irritating conversations in the day and he couldn't imagine talking with you as anything other than irritating. 
"'Undergrad shit'?" you asked in disbelief as if you didn't hear him properly.
"Yep," he said curtly before walking past you.
You felt your frustration rising and forced yourself to take a few quiet deep breaths. You were trying to be nice and level out any tension that had resulted from bad first impressions or incompatible living styles, but none of that was being reciprocated.
Being around Levi truly was strange for you. You hated to admit it, but you knew you had a pattern of prioritizing other people's happiness over your own, even to the point of silencing your own voice and autonomy. 
However, Levi effortlessly pissed you off every single time you interacted with him. Even if you wanted to prioritize his needs over yours, you couldn't. The last thing you wanted to do was give him the satisfaction.
"You really want to make living together this difficult?" you asked, trying your best to contain your anger.
Levi was immediately able to tell how pissed off you were getting, but that didn't give him any remorse. He shot you an expression that matched your mood: angry and hostile.
"Looks to me like you're the one making it difficult."
"What?!" you exclaimed, a bit louder than intended. 
"Were you not the one that came up to me with this shit?" he asked calmly. 
It pissed you off how seemingly calm he seemed while you were unraveling in rage.
"I walked in the door for less than 30 seconds before you brought shit up."
You clenched your fists and spoke through clenched teeth.
"Well, I'm trying to come up with a compromise!" you argued. "So we can at least get along while being forced to live together!"
Levi scoffed before rolling his eyes and walking towards his room, cutting the conversation off. 
You couldn't understand why he was being this hostile to you. Sure, you had called him a dick at your first meeting, but in your defense, he was giving you a hard time at the café and your fuse was already short because you couldn't get keys to the apartment—which was also caused by him. If anything, you should be the hostile one. 
You weren't sure if you did something wrong. Your previous roommate of three years, your ex-boyfriend, always said that you were a terrible person to live with, so you began to really suspect if it was something about you that made you difficult to live with, despite you putting in active effort to accommodate or be considerate of their living styles. 
As you began to consider all the reasons as to why you might have had a fundamental flaw that made co-living unrealistic, you suddenly stopped your train of thought and clenched your fists—enough was enough.
Even if it was you, even if it was some terrible oversight you've had in which you were already ruining your relationship with your new roommate, you told yourself that you had enough of pleasing people like Levi—people who trampled upon your efforts to cooperate and threw them out the window. If he was going to be this difficult, you were going to be difficult back. Social reciprocity—or in this case, the lack thereof—was a thing.
You groaned to yourself as you sat back down on the couch, holding your head in your hands out of frustration.
How the fuck am I going to get through this year if I have to come home to this every day?

Kingdom of Ash and Greed|Part 11|King Levi x Evelyn
Tumblr media
WARNINGS: noncon/dubcon, big age difference, kidnapping, slavery, violence, power imbalance, implied somnophilia, forced pregnancies, mind breaking, yandere behaviour, yandere themes, child death, etc.
===============================================
Since the pregnancy of the King's heir, Levi had treated Evelyn with more dignity and respect.
All that he could manage to give in his cold and black heart.
She was respected as much as a Queen could by her servants, despite their hatred of Evelyn they never showed her malice or cruelty should they face the wrath of their king. They feared him more than they respected her. But she could live with that.
Evelyn feared that she would give birth to this child and loathe it with every fibre of her being for what it cost her. Even as her body changed she cursed the thing within her, it was a parasite sapping her youth and girlish figure, replacing it with heavy breasts and making her resemble an egg.
Although Levi didn’t mind the breast change.
===============================
A daughter was born to the duo exactly nine months after the wedding, confirming the people’s suspicion as to why there was such a fast engagement and marriage. However the collective nation breathed a sigh of relief that an heir had been born at last.
Evelyn had thought that Levi would view a daughter rather than a son as a disgrace. A bargaining chip. But instead he was overjoyed with a child of his own. Finally his kingdom was secure, why hadn’t he done this sooner? The joy of being a parent, of looking into the face of a little him to mold and control. To bring up to become just like him with his same personality and interests. She would be a ruthless warrior like he was, taking what was hers and marrying a man like Evelyn. Feisty enough that their children wouldn’t be weaklings but able to submit to her cruelty and know his place.
He was king of the world.
=================================
The Queen observed Levi staring at their daughter in their bed, his face a soft smile.
“My king, can I ask you something.”
“You’re worthy of taking my seed you are permitted to call me by my first name.”
“Levi- can I ask you something?”
“Speak.”
“Now that we’re-“ She chokes on the words.
“Married.” He finished for her.
“Married.” She repeats. “Why do you still allow Petra to visit you from her father’s house?”
“A good question. Simply put I’ve pissed off her father enough with this outrage of a marriage, I can calm him by letting the woman visit.”
“Despite her flirting-?”
He raises a brow. “Are you jealous?”
“I-no- I just don’t think it’s proper for her to be flirting with you when you’re married.”
“A king normally has many concubines along with his wife.”
The thought made her sick. After all she had taken from him, the idea of him sleeping with a number of women.
Clearly her disgust showed. “You don’t seem impressed by the idea.”
“No. I’m not. I think it’s disgusting to make vows and then break them because you can.”
He raises a brow. “My wife has a mouth on her. Are you asking for my faithfulness?”
She hesitates, thinking she went too far. Sensing her unease he chuckles low in his throat, a dark sound that gave her goosebumps.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” He sits up and stretches. “Very well you have it. You’re willing enough, I don’t need more problems with a bastard child. You have my word, you will be the only woman I sleep with.”
She sighs with slight relief. “Thank you Levi…” The idea of him only having his sights set on her was a blessing and curse.
She would never be replaced, but there would be no distraction from his lustful nature. Another thought that made her shiver.
==================================
Petra had been trying every trick she could think of to gain a spot in Levi’s bed. If she managed to seduce him and get pregnant then she could squeeze her way into his kingdom.
He hasn’t been totally receptive but he hasn’t rejected her either. Meaning there was a chance.
Until one day when he brushed her off completely, not even giving her a second glance. He didn’t seem to care about her, and it was pissing her off. Every time she tried he went to smile, caress, or look at that enemy whore who had fucked her way into this position. That brat had secured her lineage, a little girl who would end up a whore like its mother. Not fit to inherit the throne. Without the girl Evelyn was nothing.
So that would be what had to go.
==================================
Evelyn was woken in a hysteria by Levi, violently shaking her with a crazed look in his eye.
“Wake up! You’re her mother, do something! Tell me what’s going on!”
She was confused, only gathering bits as he frantically pointing at the crib.
Numbly she walks over, peering in and feeling her daughter’s hand.
Cold.
Vomit rises in her throat and she rushes to their toilet to relieve herself. Her child was dead. How could this happen? What had she done?
Levi walks in after her, holding the bundle in his arms, a distant look in his features. “So I’m not crazy. She’s dead. Isn’t she?”
Evelyn looks up at him and offers a small nod.
Only then does she see a change. Acceptance almost, before he simply turns around, his face going neutral and serious.
“I’ll make arrangements then.”
==================================
Levi remained stone faced at the funeral, while Evelyn openly sobbed along with the nation. All mourning the loss of their little princess who had been taken from them too soon. They once again had no heir and a life so young did not deserve such a cruel fate.
Realizing the child was indeed dead had made Levi go from denial to acceptance without the other stages of grief being involved. She supposed this was natural. He was a king and didn’t have time to be sentimental. Still, it was odd.
That night she had just settled into bed when he climbed onto her, surprise causing her to push him back slightly.
“What are you doing?”
“Making love to you.”
“Now? We just buried our child and you expect me to-“
“I do. What’s the complaint?”
“We just buried her! How could you think I would want this-“
“Yes! She’s dead! Get over it! We can’t afford to get lost on the sentiments. My child is gone and you will give me another.”
“How dare you- I won’t agree to this-“
“Well good thing my dear-“ He starts as he unbuckles his pants. “I never asked for your consent.”
The castle hearing Evelyn’s screams as they knew the king had started his duty once again.

An Ackerman family Christmas party. Rivetra is married and Mikasa is dating Eren
last xmas request from 2023. thanks :)
just an ackerman family christmas
eremika. rivetra. modern au. 1817 words. read on ao3.
“Why are you so nervous?” Mikasa asks, glancing down at the foot that Eren hadn’t even been aware that he was tapping. She elbows him and throws him an encouraging smile. “You’ve met my family before. They all love you.”  
“I’m not sure that’s entirely true,” Eren mumbles as he shuffles on the front porch steps of Mikasa’s cousin’s house.  
It’s true that Eren has met her entire family before and for the most part he gets along well with many of her relatives. Her parents adore him, and her aunt has been nothing but kind to him. He was afraid of her grandfather and uncle at first, but both warmed up to him after a few drinks. Mikasa’s cousin Levi, however, is an entirely different story. 
“Oh, Levi’s just like that,” Mikasa says with a roll of her eyes. Despite all the complaints she has about her cousin — his lack of social skills, his crass sense of humor, and his foul mouth — Mikasa gets along incredibly well with him. Eren should probably trust her when she says that Levi doesn’t hate him, but he still can’t bring himself to believe it. “Relax and enjoy yourself instead of worrying about my cousin. It’s just an Ackerman family Christmas. Nobody’s going to hurt you.” 
“Maybe I can just stay out of his line of sight and everything will be fine,” Eren suggests. 
Mikasa snorts in amusement. “Does he terrify you that much? He’s harmless, you know. He might seem like a thug, but he’s a total softie inside. How else would he have pulled Petra otherwise?” Mikasa asks, referring to Levi’s wife.  
“I went to the wedding, and I still can’t believe it,” Eren says.  
Levi is the grumpiest person Eren has ever met. Petra is the human embodiment of sunshine. Maybe it’s true that opposites attract, but Eren still has a difficult time understanding how the two had made their relationship work in the first place. He will agree that Levi and Petra have an amazing relationship, but he just can’t understand it at all. 
At that moment, Levi pulls open the door. On his face is the same disgruntled expression that Eren always sees him wear except Eren swears that Levi’s frown grows deeper when he sees Eren standing next to his cousin.  
“H-hi,” Eren stammers, stumbling back in surprise at Levi’s sudden appearance. 
“Merry Christmas,” Mikasa says, greeting her cousin with a pleasant smile. She holds out a pot of cream stew for Levi to take. 
“Merry Christmas!” Petra chimes from inside the house, popping her head out from the kitchen to flash Eren and Mikasa a welcoming smile before disappearing back into the kitchen. Already, the delicious aromas of tonight’s Christmas dinner fill the small and cozy house. The sight of her makes Eren feel a little more relaxed, but any feeling of ease disappears as soon as Levi opens his mouth. 
“We said no gifts this year. Why did you bring that?” Levi asks, gesturing towards the bag hanging from Eren’s hand. As Eren stammers and fumbles over his words, Levi takes the stew from his cousin and begins walking into the house. He glances back and notices that Mikasa has followed him in, but Eren is still idling by the open door. “Don’t stand in front of the door like an idiot. You’re letting the cold in. Get inside and shut the door behind you before you catch a cold.”  
“Y-yes, sir!” Eren says before tripping over his feet trying to get inside before Levi casts him another disapproving glance. He nearly falls flat on his face trying to kick off his boots, but he manages to stop himself from looking like a bigger idiot than he already is and quickly shuts the door behind him. He scurries hurriedly behind Levi and offers Mikasa’s cousin the bag. “I know you said no gifts, but I thought it would be nice to get you and Petra something to thank you for hosting.” 
Levi glances down at the bag that Eren offers him. His hands are still full with the pot of stew and Eren immediately feels stupid for not remembering. Levi nods towards a console table sitting in the hall. It’s decorated with a festive, red tablecloth and a simple ivy runner that hangs down the sides. “Set it there for now. Petra and I will bother with it later.” 
“Levi, don’t be rude. It was very sweet for Eren to bring an unexpected gift. It wasn’t necessary, but it’s such a kind gesture,” says Petra with a wide smile on her face as she emerges from the kitchen. She pats her hands down on her apron before taking the gift from Eren and placing it on the console table for him. As Levi disappears into the kitchen to heat the stew on the stove, Petra takes Eren by the arm and leads him and Mikasa towards the living room where the rest of the family is gathered.  
Mikasa’s family look happy to see Eren and Mikasa, their faces breaking out into a smile when the two of them enter the living room. Mikasa goes immediately to her parents who stand up to greet her with a hug. Her father and mother turn towards Eren and gesture for him to join them as well so that they can envelop him in their arms. 
“Poor boy. Why is he shaking so much? Did you scare him, Petra?” Mikasa’s father jokes and Petra can only laugh and shake her head.  
“I was in the kitchen, so I’m afraid that Levi got to him before I could,” Petra says. She gives Eren’s arm a squeeze and smiles apologetically at him. “I better get back before Levi burns the kitchen down. That man can burn water if nobody’s watching him. Go ahead and talk to everyone else before we serve dinner. It’ll probably help you feel better before you have to sit at the same table as Levi.” 
“Haha, yeah,” Eren says, laughing weakly as he watches Petra leave. He turns towards Mikasa and hisses, “See, I told you he hates me! Even Petra knows.”  
“Petra’s joking. Levi doesn’t hate anyone except maybe your brother Zeke,” Mikasa snorts.  
“Yeah, I don’t understand that either!” Eren says. Zeke and Levi have only met each other a few times, but it’s been very apparent that Levi has a distaste for Eren’s older brother. Maybe Levi just has something against Jaeger men in general? 
“God, you’re so oblivious,” Mikasa sighs, but she gives him an affectionate pat on the head anyway.  
Eren isn’t sure what Mikasa means by that, but he decides not to dwell on it too much. He’s already worried about why Levi dislikes him (despite Mikasa’s insistence that it’s not the case) without worrying about why Levi dislikes his older brother, too. He wants to worry about it, chew his nails and whine about it to Mikasa, but he knows it would ruin the festive mood so he decides to mix and mingle with the rest of Mikasa’s family. He feigns a smile and converses with Mikasa’s grandfather and uncle, laughing at their jokes even if they aren’t all that funny and throwing in a few punny jokes of his own. He talks to Mikasa’s parents about what has been going on with his life recently and listens to them attentively as they gush about the old Ackerman Christmas parties of the past and how delighted they are to celebrate one with him this year. Despite his cheerful demeanor, he’s actually terrified on the inside about how he’ll eventually have to sit at the same table as Levi Ackerman who will most definitely staring daggers at him while he tries to swallow down honey smoked ham and mashed potatoes drowned in gravy.  
Eventually, the dreaded family dinner begins and Eren is devastated to find that he’s been seated across from Levi. Even with Mikasa squeezing his knee encouragingly under the table, Eren still finds it difficult to eat. He pushes his food from side to side on his dish as he smiles nervously at the people around him, not realizing he’s doing so until Levi comments on it. 
“Eat before your food gets cold. Don’t insult Petra’s work by not eating anything,” Levi says. 
“Sorry!” Eren says and immediately starts shoveling food down his mouth. He’s sure it’s delicious, but he’s too busy trying to inhale as much food as possible to truly appreciate all the textures and flavors of the dishes Petra has prepared. With a mouth full of food, Eren gurgles, “’s ama’ing, Pehra!” 
“Thank you, Eren! I’m glad you’re enjoying it,” Petra says with a warm smile before shooting her husband a steely glare and jabbing him in the side with her elbow. She hisses, “Be nice to Eren. You’re scaring the poor boy.”  
Levi snorts in response, lifting his glass of wine and taking a sip to hide his smirk.  
The rest of the dinner goes just as unsuccessfully. Eren is so self-conscious of himself that he can’t help but tremble under Levi’s gaze. He has difficulty even cutting into the Christmas ham because his hands shake so much and Mikasa eventually has to take over and cut his ham into manageable pieces. It’s a Christmas miracle that he doesn’t spill his hot chocolate everywhere on the table. By the time dinner is over, he’s a complete wreck of a man and can only stand in the corner of the room cowering while the rest of the Ackermans socialize.  
“Look what you’ve done, Levi. You’ve taken a perfectly good boy and completely destroyed him,” Petra sighs with a shake of her head. She puts her arms around Eren and glares at her husband.  
“He’s fine,” Levi says dismissively. He waves Eren off. “Don’t stand there like a fucking statue. Go talk to everyone. Don’t be rude.”  
“Yes, sir!” Eren says and walks mechanically towards the rest of the family.  
Mikasa and Levi watch as Petra gently guides Eren to a couch. He takes a seat beside Mikasa’s parents who invite him into their conversation about their New Year’s plans. As he engages with them, he begins to relax and even smiles.  
“He’s going to run away if you keep treating him like that,” Mikasa comments as she and her cousin continue to observe her boyfriend. 
“Believe me, if I wanted to get rid of him he would have been gone a long time ago,” Levi replies before taking a sip of his wine. From the corner of his eye, he observes Mikasa observing Eren and sees how the corners of her lips turn up slightly as she watches him laugh. “Congratulations, cousin. You found yourself a good one.”  
“Thanks,” Mikasa says. She purses her lips to hide her smile while her parents laugh at something her boyfriend has said. “I think so, too.”

Lifting tired blue eyes from his own book, Erwin noted which of his reads Levi now held in his hand. “Ah, that’s an old one.”  “No shit, this thing’s clearly seen better days.”  “It was my mothers.”  “Oh.” 
Another moment of silence fell between them. Erwin marked the page in his current book while Levi dropped his eyes back to the one in his hands. His eyes flitted over the text that described some plant he’d never heard of, but he was quickly drawn to the bits of handwritten notes in the margin.  “She kept a small flower garden when I was a child,” Erwin explained when Levi dared to lift his gaze from the suddenly precious book he held. “That book is technically illegal.”  At that, Levi snorted, relaxing. “Seriously? A book about flowers?” “There are flowers in there that don’t exist within the walls,” Erwin stated.
I read the Bad Boy Leaks and decided I wanted to be sad and miserable, so I wrote this.

They were both whispering as they exchanged words. Talking in hushed quiet tones that could be misconstrued as them sharing conspiratorial secrets.

Somethin I think is fascinating abt Aot / Avatar is their opposite attitudes towards relationships
Both series are reflective of WW2, focus on colonialism and genocide, however Avatar has an optimistic and pacifistic end, expressing hope for humanity and a future of peace. As we all know, the ending of AoT is grim.
Avatar is very pro-relationship, even though it interferes with Aangs ability to save the world (he is unable to let go of Katara to open his final chakra and master the avatar state). Iroh, the wise paternal figure, comments on this and says that love was a better choice. The same is true of Azula. She is obsessed with power, a perfectionist who knows how to control and intimidate everyone, but is abandoned by everyone and Mei iconically says “You made a mistake. I love Zuko more than I fear you”. Both narratives communicate the theme that you cannot control people with fear and you should release the obsession with power for the pursuit of love.
Tumblr media
Eren, however, spends most of the series resistant to Mikasa’s love for him, finds it annoying and obtrusive. She is stronger than him, shows him up, always gets in the way between him and what he wants because she is concerned for his safety (similarly to Katara). He compares Mikasa to a slave because of her devotion. The story ends with a heroic Mikasa who saves the world by putting her duty before love and killing Eren. Similarly, the slave Ymir betrays the king who she loves and ends the titan curse.
Tumblr media
(Look at this scene. Look at how it frames love, the fucking tragedy of it.)
As for the other characters, we seldom see them kissing or displaying an interest in sex despite being sexually mature. Erwin has a girl he was interested in but gave her up to be commander.
Tumblr media
Hange and Levi are humanities strongest/smartest and they are supposed to be like bad parental figures guidance to Eren. Levi is said to be celibate by Isayama and although develops feelings for people (Petra) does not act on them, and sacrifices her dead body to lighten the weight of a wagon. Because Hange is hyperfocused with titans they neglect their romantic life and physical appearance, they are always completely baffled when sex or puberty is brought up.
Tumblr media
This is a scientist who is over thirty years old, yet they do not understand testosterone. This implies they are asexual or perhaps a virgin.
Tumblr media
I do agree with what Isayama says, that it is kind of depressing that a lot of media for women made by women revolves around finding a man. Pitiful, he calls it. He gives his female heroines freedom from love as a kindness.
In conclusion uhhhhh both of these shows are fantastic even if their messages are complete opposite.

Levi squad birthday headcanons
These are birthday headcanons for my friend Bluemisst’. I hope you are having a better day than expected!
* Life had been so busy the past few months that the Levi squad hadn’t had time to celebrate Gunthers birthday, so they decided to celebrate yours and Gunthers together.
* They know you are not really a fan of your birthday but they will try to make it a pleasant day for both you and Gunther while they keep you out of the grand spotlight and Gunther enjoys most of the outspoken attention.
* You came together in the evening, Eld Gunther and Oluo drinking wine from Mitras they saved for and Levi serving you and Petra a cup of black tea.
* Petra and Oluo made a white chocolate raspberry cake the night before at Oluo’s place. It was his mothers recipe, and Oluo’s bothers helped him bake it alongside Petra. Mostly because Oluo’s brothers are just as madly in love with Petra as he is and they can’t wait for the day they can call her sister in law.
* Against common perception Oluo is actually a really good cook and baker and Petra is the messiest housewife in the world. She definitely needed an apron, and at the end of the baking session she was covered in raspberry, flour and molten white chocolate.
* They served their raspberry white chocolate cake that night as their gift to you and Gunther.
* Levi knew you didn’t want anything grand for your birthday, so he gave you exactly what you asked: money. He did not have much to spare, but he gave you a small pocket with a few coins alongside a handwritten letter praising your work and dedication and wishing you a healthy and happy new year. His handwriting meticulous as always.
* Gunther wrote you a heartfelt letter as well. He did not have money to spare to get you anything. He comes from a poor family, his parents dead and his grandparents taking care of him. Or him taking care of them more likely as he is the sole breadwinner with his work in the Survey Corps. He has a lovely family and has been nurtured with love, so Gunther gives you the only thing he can give you at the moment: his love in a hug.
* Eld went shopping for you with Petra, his girlfriend (who I call Rosaline in my headcanonland) and his newborn baby (sweet small Josephine (no one asked for non-canon characters but everything is possible in my headcanonland)). They were supposed to “help” him pick something “girly” you would like, but of course the girls just wanted to shop, picking up every soap to smell and taste every piece of chocolate themselves first before it could be considered a gift to you. Under strict surveillance of the girls, Eld bought you a rose-scented block of soap and pralines. Eld wrapped them up and added a bow tie, which Petra had to re-do as it wasn’t done nearly enough.
* At the end of the evening when everyone has eaten themselves sick with white chocolate raspberry cake, the “big” after party started. The squad moved to a bar in the city to go drinking, except for Levi, who has excused himself to the silence and solitude of his office. He’s not really the party type, he feels he would ruin the lively mood too.
* Eld, Oluo and Gunther are hyper focused on their game of competitive darts, performing with drunken precision. Apparently somewhere in their intoxicated minds in was a good idea to drink wine, beer and mead at the same time. It was not a good idea. Gunther fell asleep on a bar stool, no one knew how he could fall asleep in a position like that. Oluo dared Eld to go take a swim in the canal, but they’re still not done arguing on who will be the first to jump. Petra and you were dancing on the floor, downing too many overly sweet cinnamon shots in a time span of 2 hours. Yes it was only a matter of hours for the elite Levi squad to lose their minds when they could afford it, they’re still youngsters. Who’s paying for this shit-ton of alcohol Petra is now puking out when she over exerted herself trying to fish Oluo’s weight from the canal? Eld. But he is not going to be happy when he sees the check.
* You decide the party is done when Eld starts blurting out speeches of love for his squad as if he is two minutes away from a suicide charge. You take the squad -no, drag- back to base where they can sleep out their stupid decisions. When you finally got them all in bed and sigh of relief now your caretaking has come to and end, you notice Levi leaning against the wall in the dark. “Happy birthday.” He utters, and starts moving to walk you to your room, the last gift of the night being him turning your alarm off.
Happy birthday!
-Love

or you could just not be a homophobe?? whats wrong with you?
Why exactly makes people think I'm homophobic? Because I'm genderbending Levi? Really?
I also genderbent Erwin AND Levi in the same story, writing fem!eruri, which made them two women lmao. In Tit for Tat, I wrote Erwin and Mike having sex, in part two Petra and fem!Levi sleep with each other, multiple times, which is - surprise - also two characters of the same gender having sex, but yeah, apparently, that makes me a homophobe.
I dedicated two years of my life doing a full fan translation of Dresden. You could read that, give the author credit for writing men not able to love each other in the way straight people can, based on real events, just like it was and still is for millions of real people.
As a bi woman, I was in a same sex relationship myself and know what true homophobia and hate is, and how it fucks you up for years if not your whole life, so don't give me that bullshit.
I know how fucking unfair it is, how you are treated differently simply depending on what hand you are holding in public. I know how damaging and traumatising it was having to hear the slurs and people harrassing us, trying to PHYSICALLY break my then girlfriend and me apart and talking shit about us behind our backs. How invisible I often feel in my straight relationship in the present. Because once you happen to fall in love with a guy as a bi woman, people assume you were having a phase and are on the "right track" now. Your parents are all of a sudden hopeful again, that they might be getting grandchildren after all, even though I stated a hundred fucking times I wont be getting any. So many times, I feel like I'm betraying myself, even though I'm happy, I can always do a balancing act. I was so happy to move out of that fucking conservative town I grew up in and lived for two decades of my fucking live. But it all clings to me like a piece of shit stained toilet paper under my shoe.
Some people happen to like what I write. It makes me happy, it even helps me reflect on my own experiences in a safe way sometimes. If you want to read "real" Eruri, go for it, but leave your hate elsewhere. What's wrong with you?
