Work Text:
It had been a very long month for Eren. There was the usual filling his days. Wake up, do drills, run through experiments, go with Hanji for a checkup and then it was back to the barracks. That last one was a welcome change. The rest of the 104th had joined them a while ago but now the Omega was allowed to sleep with his comrades rather than be locked away.
The only unusual thing was the moments in which he and his Captain were alone. It didn't matter if it was something as simple as passing each other in the halls or taking late night tea together.
It was in these quiet, private moments that Levi would step close and scent the Omega.
The interaction was pure bliss no matter how short it was. Warmth and blackberry lavender tea would surround Eren like a blanket, the Alpha nosing into his soft hair or even rubbing their glands together. The dark haired man would always be thorough and though it confused the pup, he would chirp and purr at the sensation.
The others had noticed how he always carried the Alpha's scent now. They had teased, in the case of Jean and Connie, or had been outright disturbed by it, like Mikasa. But whenever they questioned it Eren wouldn't have a clear answer as to why their Heichou was doing it.
The Omega hadn't told anyone about his confession. On one hand, it was looked down upon for a superior officer to engage in relations with a subordinate. On the other hand, the moment felt intensely private to Eren. He didn't want to share it.
Even without any information, Armin looked at him and sighed, saying he couldn't tell if Eren was being purposely thick or was genuinely that clueless.
The Omega blushed and decided not to let Armin's teasing bother him. Carrying the older Alpha's scent was too pleasant for him to care.
They smelled so good together…
"Eren!"
"Ah! Sir!"
Startled from his thoughts by the very man starring in them, Eren Yeager automatically snapped into a salute. Right fist over heart, spine straight and staring forward while he tucked his other arm against his lower back. Perfect. Not at all like he had been daydreaming!
Right?
A single dark brow rose towards the Alpha's hairline but Levi didn't comment, getting right down to his orders.
"Head to the kitchen and pick up the parcel from the cook. Then meet me in the stables right away. Am I understood?"
"Yes, sir!"
Levi nodded, wordlessly dismissing the pup and Eren rushed to obey. This was a strange order but the Omega shoved it away in the interest of completing it in a timely fashion. He entered the kitchen and was given a cloth-wrapped item. It felt warm and smelled delicious, was this the Captain's lunch? Was he leaving Headquarters? He hadn't heard anything like that but…
Eren held back the whimper that wanted to escape as he strode back to the stables. He didn't want the Alpha to leave but since he was taking food to the stables that must mean Levi was about to travel somewhere…
Except there were two horses wearing full tack when Eren arrived, his verdant eyes wide in confusion. He glanced around for the second rider only for an amused huff to sound as Levi pulled himself up onto his black stallion's saddle.
"Give me that, then mount up." The Alpha commanded and the pup wordlessly handed the parcel to Levi before taking the second steed. He was given the item to hold as they set out.
Eren guided his gelding in a trot behind Levi's horse, gaze roving over their surroundings. They took a well-worn road for about an hour before veering off into the forest. The two Survey Corps members stopped and dismounted seemingly in the middle of nowhere.
It was a pretty clearing, lush green grass and blue flowers covering the forest floor. A stream was sparkling nearby which the horses automatically walked towards, trained well enough that they wouldn't wander.
Eren hugged the parcel to him as Levi strode across the clearing and then sat down against a tree, leaning against the trunk. Amused silver eyes flickered over him before Levi tilted his head.
"Well? Come here, brat. I'm not going to bite."
Heart speeding at those words because 'yes, please do' was the pup's vehement thought in response. Eren closed the distance and knelt on the grass in front of the Alpha. Pale hands took the item from him and swiftly unknotted the blanket protecting it.
A basket.
Green eyes widening and watching Levi spread the blanket and open up the basket, Eren was struck with a belated realization.
"Is…"
He licked his lips, swallowing.
"Is this…a," the pup attempted,"a…da…?"
Warm silver eyes rose to the younger's face and Levi shook his head,"hush, brat, don't have a fucking conniption."
Eren's mouth clicked shut as he watched sandwiches and grapes be placed out carefully on wooden dishes.
"Yes, it's a date. Are you always this thick?" The Alpha's deep voice was teasing but the pup was too caught up with the words. Date! A date?! Levi had taken him on a date! A picnic! They were out on a picnic date together!
A low constant whine as Eren wiggled in place had a rare chuckle escaping the Alpha and the pup froze as a plucked grape was held in front of his lips. Chirruping happily, he took it right from those pale fingers and munched happily.
Levi was such a perfect Alpha! Taking such good care of him! He was fed another and then another, in between the dark haired man's own bites, those silver eyes never straying from his face.
"I've been thinking about your confession."
Eren paused mid-chew and tilted his head, trying to fight off the anxiety that wanted to come to head. Surely if he was about to be rejected, the Alpha wouldn't have taken him on a date!
Right?
"Easy, pup. I want to make a few conditions before accepting."
'Accepti-?' Eren was unable to hold in the excited whimper, bright viridian eyes round and eager on the man. The Alpha he had wanted since he was young, his first and only love.
A small smile tugged those lips upward,"listen closely, brat. I'm only gonna say this one time. First, you're mine. No one else's. Ever. Second, we're to be discreet. Third, I won't take things far with you while you're still young. I may be willing to bend a lot of rules for you but even I can't get away with everything.
Eren nodded frantically to show he understood and Levi huffed in response.
"Well?"
"What about my conditions?" The Omega blurted before he could restrain himself and the older Captain raised a questioning brow. Oh…oops? Well, he had already put his foot in it so…
"I want you to be only mine! I want to earn your bite one day! And pups! I want your pups when I'm older too!"
Silver eyes widened in open amazement before a genuine smile graced Levi's lips. Absolutely beautiful and something Eren had never ever seen before. He immediately wanted to make his Heichou smile like that as often as possible!
"What a thing to bring up on the first fucking date, brat."
He flushed all the way up to his ears but instead of continuing to scold his poor etiquette, the Alpha opened his arms for him.
"Come here, Omega."
Not needing to be told twice, the pup eagerly pushed close with a mix between a purr and a whine; his entire body shuddering as Levi began to scent him thoroughly with a possessive edge.
"Mine…"
'Yes!' His heart screamed out, filled with love and satisfaction. Eren didn't know what he had done to deserve Levi as his Alpha. The pup had always thought it would take a huge effort and he still felt he didn't deserve this.
But he would never let this go. Never!
