#wolf!levi

Ridiculous. Silly. Fool. Hopeful.

A mix of emotions rushed through Levi as he considered the situation he was in. Love was something he wanted so much. He has seen his friends gain their mates and he had yet to find anyone. The longing inside him to find his mate was strong.

Friends had told him that there was a very ancient way to find a bride. A heart filled with longing could enter the enchanted forest and find the opening. Within the circle opening, he must present a basket full of selective treats and wait for a bride to take them.

So that's what he did and it was the reason why he was sitting in a bush in the afternoon. He was pouting slightly as he gazed out at the basket of sweet baked goods he had made. He didn't think he would meet a bride, but he was hopeful enough that it would happen so he remained.

His wolf ears twitched on his head when saw the bushes rustling. He leaned closer as his tail flicked. He gasped a little expecting someone like him to come out, a human-looking person with animal ears and a tail but instead, a pretty fox jumped out and ran over to the basket.

His heart sank a little when he thought he had only attracted an animal, but he was surprised. A beautiful cloud of smoke appeared and then the most divine woman leapt out. You.

He admired every inch of you and felt his heartthrob in his chest. You were his mate, there was no question about it. You more a beautiful off-the-shoulder robe that shows off your chest. The wrap was done just right so your legs slipped out sometimes. Your fox ears were so pretty on your head and your tail was so fluffy. You were adorable and beautiful beyond words.

As you shoved the sweet baked goods into your mouth and moaned in delight, Levi was moving closer as if pulled by something on a deep level. He walked across the grass as he admired you sweetly. All he could think of was the word mate in his head getting louder and louder. It was clear to him now why he had been so lonely, it was because his true mate was in the enchanted forest all this time.

You stopped eating and looked up to see the most handsome man you had ever seen. The word mate throbbed inside you as you took him in. He wore a tight smart shirt with fitted trousers and ankle boots. His raven hair was so pretty and his face was perfection with the button nose, plump chubby cheeks and kissable lips. His silver-blue eyes were hypnotic.

You knelt and twisted your body to look at him. "Did you give me this offering of sweet things?"

He sat on the grass in front of you. "Y-Yes."

Your tail wagged fast. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yes."

You gasped in delight and smiled when you introduced yourself. "Who are you?"

"I'm Levi."

You crawled closer to him and sat right in front of him, your faces close making him blush. "Levi, I keep hearing the word mate when I look at you. Do you hear it too?"

He blushed hard and nodded. "Y-Yes. I hear mate. You are my mate, my true love."

You squealed and dove into his arms making him fall back. "Mate!" You nuzzled your face against his chest and hummed in happiness. "Finally."

Levi growled in pleasure as he felt your heat merge with his. He wrapped an arm around you as he used his other to lean on. "Yeah." He smiled at you with soft and gentle eyes making your heart flutter. "Finally." He chuckled. "I've been searching for you for so long."

You gripped his shirt tightly. "Does this mean I am yours and you are mine?"

He nodded. "If you want it. I do."

You hummed a laugh and kissed him. "You're my mate, mine."

"Mine."

"So, do you want to come over to mine?"

He blushed bright red. "I w-would like to take you a d-date."

You sat up on his hips and smiled. "I would love to! I've never been on a good date before. A lot of people use my kind, which is why I live out here. I'm so glad I met you. My real mate." You welled up a little and smiled so sweetly. "You care about me."

"I do." He sat up and wrapped his arms around you. "I really do. So, a date."

"Yes, but I want to take you home!" You jumped up and yanked Levi to his feet. "I want to cook you dinner as a date! I want to show you my garden and my things."

He chuckled and grabbed the basket. "I would love to." He held your hand tightly and walked with you. "I know we have a strong connection and it is like we've known each other for a lifetime, but I still want to date you and woo you, if that's okay?"

You nodded as your heart swelled with joy. "Yes! I want the same. I want to spoil you."

He lifted your hand and showered it with kisses. "I will treasure you."

You snuggled up to him. "Me too."

He smiled at you and just gazed for a while before a cute home with a lush garden caught his attention. "Holy shit. what a beautiful home."

"This is my home!" You dragged him to your home. "It is yours now too 'cause'cause we're mates!" You giggled. "I hope you like it. I grow a lot of fruit and veg. It's very cosy inside." You helped him inside and showed him where to take his shoes off. "I also have a lot of books. I like sitting on my porch with a book and tea."

Levi purred. "I love that too."

You gazed up at him. "May I kiss you?"

He nodded and leaned closer. He softly pressed his lips against yours and sighed. "May I stay with you for a few days? I want to go on many dates and just connect on a soul level with you."

"You can stay as long as you want."

He hummed. "Dangerous thing to say. I won't want to leave."

Levi was irritated by his friends, who had dragged him around the city. He wanted to go home and be left alone. He was jogging through the street, but he slowed down when he smelt something so intoxicating to him. His tail wagged a little as he followed the wonderful smell to a cute florist.

He pushed open the door to see the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen in his life. He felt breathless as he gazed at you, your adorable little bunny ears twitching now and then as you focused on arranging some flowers for an order.

Levi's tail started wagging fast as he felt joy fill his heart. He moved closer to you and tried to control his excitement, but it was a bit hard. "H-Hi!"

You jumped at the voice and looked up to see a big wolf gazing at you. Your ears went back as you shook a little. You didn't know what to say or do. Normally you were prepared to talk to people, but seeing a wolf just appear out of nowhere was hard. Plus, you felt this intense connection to him on a deep romantic level.

Levi moved closer and leaned on the counter. "Are you okay?"

You back up a bit as he stared at you with a frown. You let out a little whimper. You didn't know what to say. The wolf before you was incredibly handsome, even though he had a frown. You felt bad for freezing up, but your old predator and prey instincts had flared up.

Levi's ears flattened as he whined. "I've scared you...I'm sorry. It's just...you smell like my mate and you're so pretty."

You gulped hard. "S-Sorry, you umm...surprised me."

Levi perked up and his tail began wagging hard again. "I'm sorry too! I won't hurt you, I just want to talk to you." He pointed. "I will buy something. I love flowers. Um...can we talk?"

You shifted a little. "I um...sure."

He wagged his tail fast. "Really? Wonderful!" He cleared his throat and hurried around the shop. "I'm Levi."

You gave your name. "Umm."

Levi grabbed a few flowers and hurried over to you as he hugged the flowers. "These."

You gazed at his tail wagging and smiled a little. "Those?"

"Yes."

You took them for him and wrapped them up. You told him the price and let him pay for it all. "Thank you."

He gazed at you. "You're pretty."

You gasped as Levi ran out of the shop and left you alone with your thoughts. You blushed a little and felt rather happy. You were still a little scared, but he was rather cute and sweet under the surface.

Your friend leaned in the doorway and gazed at you. "He's back again."

Your cheeks burned as you thought about Levi. Levi had come to visit you often. He would buy a lot of flowers and plants and ask to see you. At first, you were nervous around him but you soon got to know him and he was rather nice and sweet.

You cleaned your hands and smiled. "I'll go see him."

"You know, he's rather cute for a wolf."

You felt your cheeks burn. "Yeah."

She hummed a laugh. "A wolf and a bunny, huh? Adorable. He'll hunt you do for kisses and cuddles."

You shifted a little. "That sounds...nice..." You hurried out of the room and bumped into Levi. "Hello."

Levi's tail wagged hard. "Hi."

You hummed a laugh. "Your tail gives your emotions away."

"My face fails me, but my tail always shows how I feel."

"You must really like me."

He nodded. "I do." He gulped hard. "Are you still scared of me?"

You shook your head. "No, you've proven you're a nice wolf."

He walked closer to you. "You smell good."

You blushed a little. "Thank you."

He leaned closer and sniffed. "Mm."

You giggled as he sniffed the crook of your neck. "Tickles."

He pulled back and blushed. "Sorry."

Your little tail wiggled in happiness. "You're really cute."

"If...I'm cute...would...would you like to umm...go on a date with me?" He gulped hard. "I know I'm scary still, but umm...I like you and I feel a connection to you. I think we're mates."

You reached over and took his hand in yours. As soon as you touched, you both felt electricity shoot through you both. "I feel it too."

He gasped and pulled out a little brooch with a flower encased inside it. "I made this for you. The flower I got here, but I made the brooch. I just wanted you to know how serious I am about you."

You took it and pinned it on yourself. "I love it. Thank you so much."

He smiled as his tail wagged hard. "Tch, damn it brat bunny, you make me so happy."

You hummed a laugh. "You make me happy too."

"S-So, date?"

'Eren...'

Eren's snapped open, sitting up as he raked his hair with a hand. "That dream again..."

He would often hear a voice calling him and feel a warm and caring hand pat his head. Until know he doesn't know if it's real or not.

"You're finally up? Get to it, Jaeger," Jean said as he tossed a red hood on the brunette's face. "Those wolves aren't going to wait for us to come, you know."

"I know, I know," Eren let out an exasperated sigh as he got out of bed. "Get out of my room horse face."

"No need to tell me twice."

Eren spent a few seconds glaring at the door before snatching his shirt from the hanger. He wore his hood afterwards, buttoning it with grace and precision.

After making sure that he looks presentable(despite his messy hair), he grabbed his trusty needles from a drawer and rested them in their little holsters located on both sides of his thighs. He carefully slid his hunting blade inside the scabbard strapped on his back.

He spent a few minutes looking at himself at the mirror to check if everything was secured before putting his boots on.

Red Riding Hood.

Such is the name of his organization, its name was based on the tale called 'Little Red Riding Hood'. It's a hunting organization that specialized in killing wolves which plagued each and every town. The wolves they kill weren't normal as they were bigger than their usual sizes.

Eren was one of the few survivors of the town called Shiganshina. The town that was assaulted by a large wolf pack 5 years ago. Needless to say, many lives were lost, including his parents. His parents were brutally murdered in front of him--thinking that he was going to die that night, he passed out. Only to wake up in the arms of his step father, Hannes, who told him that a stranger had left the boy on his door step.

His savior remained a mystery.

But that didn't matter now. He wanted revenge. He wanted to avenge the people who fell victim to the wolves.

"Be wary of the wolf's size, if you think you can't handle it alone, fire your flares. The flare exists not only to temporarily blind your enemies, they also serve as a request for back up. Keep that in mind." Shadis instructed.

"Hope you remember what Shadis said," Jean whispered to Eren, earning an elbow to his gut. "Fuck--"

"Is there something wrong, Kirschtein?"

"N-no sir!" the ash brunette sent Eren a glare.

"Very well. Disperse!"

Eren wore a smug grin, trying to stifle his laughter.

"I don't care if you're one our best hunters, but that doesn't disregard the fact that you're a suicidal bastard."

"It also doesn't disregard the fact that you look like a horse," Eren said as he hopped off the carriage, running off into the forest. Not giving his rival the chance to come up with a comeback.

Eren's grin quickly disappeared, he focused all of his senses--something that was expected from a hunter. He could hear the crunching of leaves as he stepped on them. The wind. The flapping of wings. 

Upon hearing the sound of a girl's sobs, he quickly ran towards the sound. There she was, sobbing helplessly. Two corpses--both partially consumed, decorated the vicinity.

A wolf towered over her, playing with her silky black hair. Eren's pupils turned into slits the moment he saw traces of blood on the wolf's mouth.

Silently, he slid his hunting blade out of its scabbard and charged for the wolf. The leaves did nothing but reveal his presence to the beast. The wolf's eyes widened ever so slightly, a detail that escaped the brunette's mind.

Eren swiped the needles from its holsters and threw it in the wolf's direction. Nailing both of its hands. He tackled the beast before it could think of fighting back. Resting the blade a breath away from the beast's neck.

"Kill...I will kill all of you..."

The wolf then assumed the appearance of a human being, save for his tail. The needles went through both of his hands. He looked up at the brunette with a calm expression. Eren adjusted his blade's position. He wore a murderous expression, thinking of various ways of slitting the beast's throat.

"Eren..."

His eyes widened. That voice.

The man raised his hand despite the needle that lodged itself in his hand. The action looked painful but it didn't show on the man's face. Gently, he grabbed the boy's hand and made it drop the blade. 

"Eren..." he repeated.

"Who are you? Why do you--nngh!" Eren fell backwards, having the man pin him down. What's going on? Why did he let the bastard grab him? Why didn't he kill the beast? Why didn't he want to kill the monster?

The raven haired man stroke the brunette's cheek, trailing up to pull his hood down.  For the last time, he called. "Eren."

Eren closed his eyes, tears threatened to stain his cheeks.

I see....so it was you.

You were my...

My savior.

---------Cue Epic Time Skip----------

"Where's Eren?" Mikasa asked.

"Quit looking for him, he's not here." Levi muttered. "He passed by earlier and asked me where you were."

She pulled her scarf a little higher to cover her lips, "I see...I'll keep looking then."

Levi let out a sigh once the girl was out of sight. He lifted his (awfully large and fluffy) tail, revealing a sleeping brunette. He stroked the boy's hair and settled with cupping his cheek in his palm.

"Oi...stop making my tail your pillow..." he whispered.

"It's soft...let me sleep longer..." Eren groaned, shifting his sleeping position.

-------------BACK STORY---------------

When Eren was still a kid, he took care of a young and injured wolf even if it was a dangerous creature. That injured wolf was Levi and was grateful but had to leave Eren to protect him. He saved Eren when Shiganshina was attacked and left him in front of Hannes' door.

The girl Eren found was Mikasa who was also 15 that time. Her parents were murdered and Levi saved her. The traces of blood on his lips belonged to the wolves he attacked. Needless to say, they ran away with their tails between their legs.

And so Levi and Eren were united. Mikasa views Levi as her guardian and Eren as her savior. She wears a scarf to hide a scar on her neck which was caused by the wolf who attacked her. She decided to join Red Riding Hood so she could be with Eren in Levi's place since he's a wolf and hanging out with one is not really welcomed.
