Dreams
The door creaked, echoing through the stone halls. Erwin sat up in bed, aware that someone was entering his room but his instincts telling him he didn’t need to worry. He heard as someone stepped into the dark room, closing the door behind them with a soft snick.
“Levi?” Came Erwin’s voice from the darkness. Levi had never entered Erwin’s room in the dead of night before, but only Levi moved that quietly.
The room was flooded with light for only a moment when Erwin struck a match, silver eyes illuminated for a flash. He lit a lantern and turned it up.
He saw Levi then, standing near the door. His face, as always, revealed nothing. The lantern sat on the bedside table to Erwin’s left, everything now situated to his left. Levi didn’t move and didn’t speak, just leant against the door with his hands in his pockets, in eerie symmetry with his stance from earlier in the day.
“Come to break my legs after all, Levi?” Erwin asked, not sure if he was joking.
Levi didn’t reply and his face didn’t change. He came closer to Erwin, unclasping his cloak. Erwin may have widened his eyes, surprised whenever he witnessed Levi move so casually. He was usually so still, rigid like a doll.
Levi started to unbuckle his harness, starting with the buckle across his chest. He didn’t say anything, but kept his small eyes trained on Erwin as his hands worked with practiced ease.
He’d gotten to his thighs when Erwin started to feel uneasy. The way Levi was acting was so uncharacteristic, he didn’t know how to respond. His mind had begun to sense where this was going, but he couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
“Levi?” He said quietly. Levi hadn’t said a word since he’d walked through the door.
There was a thud as Levi’s harness fell to the ground. He stepped out of it and bent to retrieve it and Erwin allowed himself a stolen glance. Levi’s small figure always fascinated him and had excited him to a degree he’d be unlikely to admit.
“The brats were having a little moment after dinner,” Levi finally said, his back to Erwin. “I went out for some peace and quiet but they came and fucked it up.”
“I see.” Erwin said, prompting Levi to continue. He knew who Levi meant by the brats , there was only one trio of scouts who he referred to as such.
Levi began to unbutton his shirt and Erwin was almost certain he now knew where this was going. He shifted uncomfortably on the bed. Levi had never come to him in such a way before, and although he had wanted it for some time, he couldn’t fathom that it was happening now .
“They were going on about their dreams.” Levi said.
Ah yes , Erwin thought. Levi had been talking a lot recently about other people’s dreams . Erwin had heard his comments but considered now that maybe he wasn’t listening closely enough.
“The blonde one thinks there’s some enormous lake outside the walls. I think he read about it in a book somewhere.” Levi shook his head, shedding his shirt and laying it gently on the back of a chair.
Levi had a suspicion that only rivaled his reverence for books. When he came from the Underground he couldn’t read at all and grew increasingly frustrated whenever Erwin would supply information and then explain he’d gotten it from a book. Eventually he’d learned, and became a voracious reader, but he still preferred to learn from doing . Erwin admired this about him.
“Maybe he’s right.” Erwin said, trying to keep things light as Levi approached him. His compact little body was wrapped in tightly corded muscle and littered with scars. Erwin had seen this much of Levi before, but never like this - never like he was being invited to look, like Levi wanted him to look.
“ Tch .” Levi said as he climbed onto the bed, throwing a leg over Erwin’s lap nonchalantly. “It won’t matter if none of us live to see it.”
“Levi-” Erwin started, gritting his teeth as Levi settled his weight on his lap, directly onto his not-entirely-flaccid cock. “What are you doing?”
Levi’s expression was still grim, but there was a spark of something else in his eye. He slid his hands up Erwin’s chest and over his shoulders, shifting his weight on Erwin’s lap.
“I would think it was obvious.” He commented. He shifted again, this time with more intent.
Erwin groaned as Levi pressed into him. He reached up with one hand and tentatively took Levi’s waist. He felt so small and tight.
“Why now?”
Levi’s responding glare made Erwin flinch. Of course, he’d just said it - he doesn’t think they’re going to survive. It was crushing for a moment - the realization that Levi had no faith in the mission, but saw no alternative. But it also meant that Levi had found his way here, to Erwin’s bed, on the eve of the mission he truly doesn’t expect to survive.
Levi looked bored. “Who cares why, when, whatever.”
Erwin blinked. Of course . “Alright.” He agreed.
Levi slid his hands until he’d grabbed onto Erwin’s collar, using him for leverage and grinding down. Erwin gasped less from the sensation and more from the lewdness of it. His mind had occasionally insisted of dreaming of what Levi might be like in bed, but it hadn’t pictured this .
Levi brought his face close to Erwin’s, but he still wore his dull mask. He was still acting, and Erwin wanted to see the real thing, the so-rarely glimpsed spark inside the Captain. He’d seen it all those years ago when he put Levi on his knees in that filthy alley in the Underground. He’d seen it in battle, he’d seen it earlier that day when Levi had tried to convince him to stay behind.
He’d seen it then and he wanted it now. He leaned up and captured Levi’s lips, his hand sliding into Levi’s hair just as he’d always dreamed. Levi responded immediately, seemingly pleased that Erwin had taken the leap. He held onto Erwin’s collar and kissed him deep, his tongue diving into Erwin’s mouth.
Erwin grew frustrated when he tried to grasp Levi - he wanted to pick him up and pin him down. He’d been dreaming about it for so long, getting Levi under him. But he couldn’t. He just couldn’t.
Pain bloomed in Erwin’s bottom lip. He let out a sharp hiss. Levi had bitten him.
“Stop it.” Levi demanded.
“What?” Erwin snapped.
“Getting all sentimental. If I wanted to fuck someone with two hands, I wouldn’t be here.”
Levi’s crude words always surprised Erwin, enough to shake him from his approaching melancholy. He smiled. “Alright. Come here.”
He reached up and grasped Levi’s neck, pulling him down for another kiss. He shouldn’t worry about not being in control, Levi was moving too quickly for him to properly keep up anyway.
Levi ground down on Erwin’s lap at such an angle that it made him groan, and Erwin would give anything to hear that sound again. But then Levi was hopping off his lap. He almost protested but then saw Levi was shucking off his pants so he shut his mouth.
He reached down to unbutton his own pants, but Levi was already there, throwing back the blanket and shoving Erwin’s hand out of the way. Levi tugged his pants and underwear down in one go. These, too, were folded over the chair before Levi came to stand next to the bed in only his underwear.
Erwin couldn’t help the way his eyes drifted to the place between Levi’s legs, the only place he hadn’t seen before. Levi’s cock was straining against his underwear, a dark spot forming. When he found Levi’s eyes, he suspected they’d been fixed on the same part of his own anatomy.
Levi pulled his underwear down without ceremony, but Erwin enjoyed watching his cock slap against his abdomen, sprouting from a dark patch of hair.
Levi climbed back onto Erwin’s lap, their cocks bumping together. Levi spit into his hand and spread it over them. Erwin gasped and fisted his hand in the sheets, shocked by Levi’s forwardness. But he wasn’t one to be outdone.
He grabbed onto Levi’s asscheek and squeezed, pulling Levi more firmly into his lap, bucking up into the slippery sensation of Levi’s small hand working over their cocks. He kissed Levi roughly, giving into his hunger. He’d wanted to possess Levi for so long, he wouldn’t let Levi’s enthusiasm of all things stand in his way. If Levi wanted it fast and rough, Erwin could deliver.
Levi responded in kind, allowing Erwin to catch his mouth and lick into it. He squeezed tighter when Erwin did something particularly sinful with his tongue.
“ Fuck ,” Levi panted between wet, filthy kisses. “I knew you’d be big.”
Erwin felt himself swell with the compliment Levi hid within the complaint, his irritation just a little too put on. Yes, it would likely be a tight fit, but Erwin had an idea of how to alleviate some of the discomfort he’d cause Levi.
His hand found Levi’s hole and he gently prodded, only to be surprised when his finger came up sticky. He ran his finger over the slippery hole, and Levi sensed his confusion.
“Yeah, I prepared.” Levi rolled his eyes, but Erwin saw the pink that tinged his cheeks. “Like I said, I knew you’d be big.”
Erwin was flustered and honored, but something occurred to him. “Have you done this before?”
Levi averted his eyes briefly, but Erwin caught it. “Not in a long time.”
Erwin didn’t have time to consider all the things he still didn’t know about this man before he felt Levi pressing back against his hand.
“Have you?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Erwin gulped, feeling around Levi’s hole with his fingers. He suspected Levi already knew the answer, but replied anyway. “No.” They both knew what he meant by it.
Levi gave Erwin a small smile as a reward for his honesty. Then he squared him with a look that Erwin could only determine was a dare.
So Erwin pressed a finger inside, just one, and watched in wonder as Levi lit up, his body arching like a cat, a satisfied hiss moving through his teeth. Erwin pressed deeper, enjoying the way Levi squirmed into him as Erwin searched.
Fears of harming Levi long forgotten, Erwin pressed another finger alongside the first. Levi pressed back against him at different angles, letting him know which way to press, where to delve, stretching his rim until finally he grazed something and Levi tensed.
“There?” Erwin asked, prodding.
“Yes, there, fuck .” Levi exclaimed, rotating his hips to control the pressure. His hand was only loosely gripping their cocks now, his attention demanded elsewhere, but Erwin was only getting harder.
When Levi caught himself building a rhythm, he gave a frustrated growl and ripped Erwin’s hand from him. He planted his hands on Erwin’s shoulders and straddled him higher, thick cock slipping between his cheeks. He leaned back and lined Erwin up with his entrance.
Nothing could have prepared Erwin for what he was both witnessing and experiencing. He watched in awe as Levi sunk onto him, twisting himself around to guide Erwin’s cock in with his hand, bracing the other on Erwin’s shoulder. Levi’s heat enveloped his cockhead, tighter and hotter than he was expecting.
Levi’s eyes were shut tight and his expression alternated from grimace to bliss with every moment. He watched Levi’s leaking cock bob in the forefront of his vision as he watched himself disappear slowly into the Captain’s small body. Inch by inch until Levi had fully seated himself, Erwin’s hand hovered over Levi’s hip, hesitant to touch while Levi accomodated him.
Levi shuddered against Erwin when they were flush. He wrapped his arms around Erwin’s neck and took a few deep breaths, clenching and unclenching.
“Okay,” He breathed into Erwin’s ear. “Let’s see what you’ve got, Commander .”
Erwin groaned, the heat of Levi all around him. He gripped Levi’s hip forcefully then, and bucked up into him once, hard.
“Ah!” Levi cried out. He sounded better than Erwin ever dreamed. So wanton, shockingly slutty. Erwin wanted nothing more in this life but to make Levi cry out like that again and again.
He used his grip on Levi’s hip to drag him up off his cock, slowly. The slide was smooth but so tight, there was only so much his prep could do. They moved together in synchronicity, Levi helping him with the movements, somehow preempting moments where Erwin might lose his balance by supplementing his own. Deliriously, as Erwin pushed Levi back down onto his cock, he thought the two of us were made for this.
Levi was moaning openly, not trying to hide it. Erwin’s eyes flitted between the soft, wet ‘O’ of Levi’s mouth and red, leaking cock bouncing in the air. It was so hard, but Erwin imagined Levi was holding off touching it for the time being. Still, he thought about tasting it, seeing what noises Levi might make if he swallowed him down.
But Levi was bouncing on his lap, and he devoted all attention to driving his cock up into him. He angled his hips experimentally, looking for the spot he’d found with his fingers. After a few clumsy thrusts, Levi shuddered, his head falling to Erwin’s chest.
Erwin didn’t relent, punching up into that spot that made Humanity’s Strongest quiver. He wrapped his arm around the tiny waist and pulled Levi close as he aimed his hips inside him. If he could give Levi this, if he could fuck into him and bring him bliss, he thought he could die happy.
“Oh fuck, Erwin, yes,” Levi pleaded, his voice thick. He was still hiding his face and Erwin couldn’t have that. He brought his hand up to Levi’s neck and gently pulled him back so as to look at this surprising creature.
Levi looked at Erwin with a betrayed look that let Erwin know he would have preferred to hide. His cheeks were flushed, his hair sticking to his forehead. But the best part was his eyes - Captain Levi’s eyes - wet with tears as he was rewarded and punished on the end of his Commander’s cock.
Erwin’s reticent little Captain was crying tears of overstimulation as the result of Erwin’s thrusts, and nothing in heaven or on earth could have pleased Erwin more. His stomach tightened and he fought back the urge to let go - to pound into that tight little hole until he emptied himself, all of himself, into Levi.
But that wouldn’t do. He needed to see Levi come apart first. With the way Levi was crying out as Erwin punched into him, he knew it wouldn’t be long. His tongue found the long column of Levi’s throat, lapping at his sweat and drinking Levi’s whimpers.
“Touch yourself, please, Levi,” Erwin begged, no longer able to hold himself back. His thrusts became erratic he chased his pleasure inside Levi’s body.
Levi wasted no time in obeying, reaching down to his red and leaking cock. Erwin focussed his attention on that spot inside of Levi, thrusting up into his core. Levi grasped his cock and then went taught, his body becoming still as he choked out one final whimper before his abs shuddered. He didn’t even stroke, just held himself still as he came all over Erwin’s shirt.
The sight of Levi’s cock erupting all over him sent Erwin tumbling over the edge, pulling Levi tight against him as his cock pulsed. He shoved in deep, relishing Levi’s gasp as he pumped him full of his come. He grunted as he rode it out, each spurt more electrifying than the last.
Finally, he eased his grip on Levi’s hip, both of them panting. Levi’s weight settled on his lap, his rim still clenching around Erwin as the last waves of his orgasm crested. He looked into Levi’s lidded, sated eyes. He’d made Levi look like that. Levi, who always looked displeased, unimpressed - his face relaxed and flushed. Erwin committed it to memory, never wanting to lose that image.
Levi, predictably, didn’t want to sit in their fluids for too long and pulled himself off of Erwin with a considerable groan. He disappeared into the washroom and Erwin carefully removed his soiled shirt. After a few minutes, Levi returned with a hot towel.
He sat on Erwin’s bed and pressed the towel to his chest, wiping any evidence of himself away. The towel was hot and soothing on his sore muscles, so rarely given a chance to be used in such a way.
Still, he didn’t like feeling like a patient, especially Levi’s patient. He reached up and caught Levi’s arm.
“You don’t have-”
Levi pulled his arm from Erwin’s loose grasp.
“Just...” He looked away. “Let me.”
Erwin didn’t know why he never learned the most simple and fundamental fact about Levi - he always acted intentionally. Some part of Erwin had been feeling as if Levi had done this as a gift , as if he hadn’t gotten anything out of it at all.
But Levi had. Levi was .
Erwin leaned back and let Levi clean him. First his chest and stomach, and then lower. Erwin hissed at the feel of the hot towel on his sensitive cock and the sensation of Levi wrapping his hand around him once more.
Erwin couldn’t look away from Levi’s eyes throughout. He’d never seen him so relaxed, no crease in his brow. Erwin felt he was being given the privilege of witnessing something sacred, something no other man had ever seen. Levi was thorough in cleaning him, but just as he started to show his arousal, Levi was done.
When Levi returned from disposing of the towel, Erwin had shifted aside and pulled back the covers. Levi may have thought about it for a moment, but then he was climbing into the bed and curling into Erwin’s side. They lay like that in the quiet for a few moments, the dim lantern light starting to fade.
Erwin had something he wanted to ask, but struggled to find the right words. He wanted to ask Why now?, as he had before, but that wasn’t the right question.
“Why not before?” Erwin asked.
Levi shifted against him. “I could ask you the same.”
Erwin didn’t have an answer. The reasons were too complicated, as complicated as tomorrow would be. Levi knew this and didn’t expect an answer.
Just as Erwin was drifting off, Levi spoke again. “I know we’re meant to sleep in since we’ll be traveling tomorrow night, but I’ll be up at dawn if you want to go again.”
Erwin chuckled and tightened his arm around Levi. “I’ll wake up as early as you want.”
