Work Text:
Growing up in the brothel, Mama was good about protecting him, making sure he was kept out of the room when she brought in clients and that he covered his ears the whole time.
It wasn’t like Kenny was going to give him the birds and the bees talk. The most Levi ever got from him was, “Don’t ever let someone pin ya down, runt. And don’t mess ‘round with an alpha unless ya want to end up in a bad way.” Keep his legs closed, in other words.
When it was just Levi and Farlan making it on their own in the world, there was an alpha boy working in the tavern down the street. Levi had taken a liking to him. And there was no one around to tell him what to do anymore. No one to tell Levi, ‘no’. He was tall, blond haired, and blue eyed – a rarity in the underground, and the alpha knew it too. Levi hated pompous assholes, but, at the same time, he was charming, and Levi was young and naïve.
He’d let the alpha take him back to his shitty hovel, and let him press him down beneath him on his bed of rags, just like he knew he wasn’t supposed to. Levi didn’t really know what to do other than let the boy climb on top of him and lead him. It was inexperienced and awkward. When the boy’s already erratic pace began to fall off, and he’d leaned over Levi, holding his shoulders down, gasping, “Can I? Can I?” Levi had just nodded, unsure of what he was asking for, and didn’t have the words to question what It was.
The boy’s mother had nearly ripped the bedroom door clean off the hinges bursting into the room, dragging him by his scruff backwards off of Levi, screaming at the both of them.
Levi had dashed out of there, lucky to have yanked his pants up. That alpha never looked twice at him after that. It was a hard lesson to learn.
For years it was just him and Farlan. It was easy with Farlan. Familiar and gentle and nice.
Then, Farlan was gone. Isabel too.
And Levi just wanted to feel something.
Falling into bed with an alpha like Mike might not have been one of his most well thought out plans.
The man was stoic and quiet, just like Levi. Their personalities grated on each other at first, both too standoffish and proud to find common ground. Levi still hadn’t forgiven the mutt for his treatment in the Underground and Mike didn’t trust him at all. With Levi’s original motivation to join the scouts, why should he? But Levi didn’t appreciate the silent, judgmental staring one bit.
He bristled whenever the alpha’s lazy gaze fell to him, face unreadable beneath all that damn hair. Scruffy brute. And that stupid fucking mustache too. Levi hated the very sight of him.
What Levi hated most was how the alpha got all up in his business. The fucker would stand just a hair too close to be consider polite in the canteen line, subtly sticking that giant shnoz of his in Levi’s hair, testing his already thin patience. His eyes followed after Levi in whatever room they occupied together. In training, they often got paired up, being the only ones to match the other’s skill set.
Wrestling around with a giant, muscular alpha hell-bent on antagonizing him, riled up Levi even more. During their spars, Levi would put every ounce of hatred into them, sinking his omegan fangs into any extremity he could reach and scratching any exposed skin with his nails. In retaliation, Mike would grunt under his breath and throw his weight around to off-set the omega. The ease in which the alpha tossed him around only served to ignite his rage further.
They always separated with glares and panting breaths, covered from head to toe in bruises, scratches, and bites. Mike more so than him, which Levi not-so-secretly prided himself in. The fucker deserved it for being such a pain in the ass.
After one such ugly encounter, Levi found himself in the communal showers, silently fuming to himself as he scrubbed away dirt from his skin and blood from under his nails. Then, the one person he wanted to see the least waltzed in, shattering his peace and quiet.
They exchanged mutual glares as the alpha approached.
Mike discarded his towel and Levi tried his best to not look. The fucker caught him looking anyway and smirked, actually smirked, while doing absolutely nothing to hide the semi between his legs. Levi scowled and turned his back on him with an aggravated huff. Fucker!
As the omega continued showering, feeling the hot stare of that damn alpha on his back, growing more and more agitated the longer the stifling steam filled the room, he finally snapped. All inhibitions thrown out the window, he’d spun around and lunged, core hot and dripping.
Blood still rolling in their veins, they met beneath one of the shower heads without discussion, teeth gnashing against one another and bodies sliding together. Mike’s hands were burning all over his body — plucking at his nipples, squeezing his ass, kneading his nape.
For all Levi hated the man’s guts, he couldn’t deny he was attractive. It had been so long, and he missed the touch of another. Mike wasn’t Farlan, but Levi wanted someone else’s skin against his — another’s weight pressing up into his. He still deliberately scratched up the alpha’s back and bit at his throat to leave dark purple bruises.
He’d be damned if he just rolled over for the alpha just because he fucked good. And he did. Walls, was he good.
Not only that, but the filth he whispered in Levi’s ear as he thrust into him, muttered just over the steady spray of the shower, made Levi blush furiously and curl his toes.
“No one’s ever made you feel like this before, hmm little omega? Has no one had you like this – giving you exactly what you need?”
The tips of Levi’s ears burned at the nickname, but he couldn’t deny how it turned him on as the massive alpha rutted him up against the cold tile wall.
“If you’re all excited thinking you’re the first alpha to have me, you’re sorely mistaken,” Levi snapped back at him. “Just shut up and fuck me.”
For the most part, he did. And after Mike left, leaving Levi to clean the slick from between his legs and cum from his stomach, still panting from the rush, equal parts blushing and pissed, he vowed for it to never happen again.
Until it did — when they fucked in the broom closet after one of Erwin’s droning meetings, having glared each other down over the table, much to the discomfort of everyone else in the room.
And again, during an overnight expedition outside the walls where they’d been forced to share a tent to conserve body heat.
Then in Mike’s quarters, when Levi found his feet taking him there late one sleepless night.
Slowly, the anger and desperation mellowed into mutual understanding. It was an itch to be scratched. A place they could meet their needs with no string attached. The sporadic hookups turned to casual afternoons spent in bed and nights where they talked with hushed voices, bodies spent and sated.
It was easy again. Familiar. Maybe not ‘gentle’ like it had been with Farlan, but it was the comfort Levi had craved. He just never expected it to be found with a person he originally despised.
After a particularly draining week of training the brats, Levi couldn’t wait to join Mike in his quarters and fuck all of his worries away. After another pointless, bull-headed, pre-pubescent alpha fight between Jaeger and Kirstein that Levi had to break up, he was at his wits end.
Unable to take it, he sought Mike out during the lunch reveille, all but dragging the man to his secluded officer room. He desperately needed a good pounding to ground him once more. And he needed it now. Or else, he couldn’t ensure he wouldn’t take the next disrespectful brat’s head clean off.
Much to his delight Mike didn’t need much convincing, and Levi was soon speared beneath the alpha’s cock, just as he’d been wanting. A very welcome escape from the never ending drama that was the 104th.
Everything outside those four walls fell away. Here in Mike’s bed, he could just be. No titans. No cadets. No responsibilities.
All those months spent spitting and fighting, then fucking it out, had taught them what they wanted. What they needed. Their bodies moved together like one; It was not long before they had both nearly reached their peak.
“Ah fuck,” Mike whimpered. Honest-to-god whimpered. Levi had never heard him lose his composure like that before.
He bit his lip, eyes shut tight, “Fuck- I’m…”
Levi was mesmerized by the sight and watched his face in a mix of fascination and lust, fingers gripping his muscled forearms, while his body sang and jolted from the alpha’s thrusts.
Mike reached down a hand and gripped himself at the base of his cock, like he did when he wanted to stave off an orgasm. A strange feeling burned deep within Levi’s pelvis at the sight. Damn, already? Usually, Mike could keep going for a while.
“I’m gonna…” the alpha whispered huskily. His words kept trailing off, his pleasured brain only able to produce fragments of a sentence at a time. Breathily, he asked, “Can I–?”
Numbly, Levi nodded.
“Y-yeah,” he stumbled over his words, panting a bit. Excitement thrilled through his veins. “Inside, please — inside.”
His begging made Mike moan.
Fuck, what he wouldn’t give to have Mike come in him. In all their other romps, Mike had pulled out and finished in his hand, oftentimes paired with spilling his cum onto Levi’s torso. While that was nice, they’d yet to have the alpha finish inside of him. Risky business, but Levi was far past the point of caring. If Mike wanted to come inside, Levi wasn’t going to stop him. He felt himself slicken just a bit more at the prospect.
A primal part of him wanted the alpha’s cum deep inside of him. To be marked and claimed and owned. The thought of it brought heat to his already flushed cheeks.
Groaning, Mike collapsed over top of him, pressing him down, down, down. The action had Mike sliding in at a slightly different angle, nudging against something deep inside of him that had Levi groaning and trembling.
A strong, powerful arm snaked under his lower back and squeezed him close. The other wrapped under his shoulders as Mike essentially bear-hugged him. With their height difference, Mike completely covered him like this. Levi’s head was more smushed in the alpha’s pecs than anything, but that was far from a complaint.
Heart rate picking up in anticipation, Levi groaned again, wrapping his arms around what he could of the alpha to hold him in turn. It was a bit intimate, but… Levi found that he didn’t care. He liked this. He liked Mike.
The naughty, unhelpful part of him was going crazy inside. Usually, he wouldn’t be caught dead in such precarious positions, especially with an alpha spreading his thighs wide and buried deep inside, but in these moments when it was just him and Mike and the man’s cock working in and out of him so well…
He loved being held down, pressed open, and pumped into. It pleased his omega to no end and Levi himself had to admit it was a turn-on even to him. Mike fit the bill of every single one of Levi’s wet dreams: tall, blonde, bulky, and quiet. On top of it all, a cock to rival a titan.
Balls pressed up to his ass, Mike hilted with a gasp, his voice choking off above him. Slowly, he slid out a bit, then started thrusting with shallow, deliberate, deep thrusts. They were more forceful than before, smacking the alpha’s balls against him with each one. Breathing was a bit hard, as the sheer girth of the man stole all of the air from his lungs, but Levi was exhilarated.
His blood sung louder, chanting, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
He whined, scratching Mike’s back a bit as his fingers slipped. His core throbbed, delighted and ready. Between them sounded so wet. Levi didn’t think he’d ever gotten this slick for anyone before.
The alpha’s scent deepened. Something dark and musky tinged it, like he might be going into rut, but it wasn’t as desperate. Levi drank it in, feeling his head quiet with a pleasant fog. His body went lax in the alpha’s hold.
Mike’s pace picked up a bit and the alpha started to roll his hips in that way he did when he was about to spill. Their breaths panting together hot and heavy in the stuffy room.
Levi squeezed him close as best he could, locking his ankles behind the small of Mike’s back, just in case the alpha thought he might be able to pull out. He’d promised Levi — he was going to deliver.
Whining softly in his throat, he anticipated the glorious ending.
Mike began to grind against him more, swiveling his hips deliciously in a way that made Levi’s eyelids flutter.
Then, a slight… sensation occurred. Levi paused, brow furrowing. It was like Mike was getting... thicker?
The next slide out confirmed he hadn’t been imagining things. It was like the base of Mike’s cock popped out of him. Accompanying it was a slight sting. Nothing too bad, but… Levi was lost and so confused. What the fuck was that?
Mike didn’t seem bothered by it, so Levi kept quiet, just in case it was something embarrassing. Mike was having a good time and he didn’t want to ruin it. Not when they were both so close.
Oblivious to Levi’s mental turmoil, Mike slid back in and — there it was again!
Like something thick and bulbous had caught just at the entrance. There was a bit of resistance when Mike hilted all the way inside of him when all the rest of him had slid in nice and smooth. Levi clutched the alpha’s arms uneasily. Mike was moaning deep in his chest above him.
When he slid back out, the pop was more startling, more pronounced. Levi gasped, unable to help himself.
“Mike!”
He wasn’t quite sure what he was trying to tell him. It wasn’t hurting per say, it was just so weird. He didn’t have the words to explain himself.
Sounding absolutely wrecked, Mike muttered in a filthy voice. “Shh… That’s it…” Strong, dependable arms tightened around him. A palm soothed down Levi’s flank.
Mike wasn’t bothered by it. But Levi’s thoughts were racing. What the fuck was happening?
“That’s it,” he sighed as he sank back in to the hilt.
The definite swell bullied at Levi’s entrance and his stomach swooped with an equally weird sensation. What…? Mouth agape, Levi’s eyes rolled, and his head lolled back against the covers. When the weird swell slid in, they sprung back open. Gasping in a deep lungful of air, he could only whimper in the back of his throat, dazed and confused. All of his thoughts were jumbled up in his head and he didn’t know where to begin or what to think.
“Ah!” A sharp little gasp was pulled from him when Mike rolled his hips, dragging his cock in and out. Levi tried to plant a foot and get some leverage to slide himself up the bed, just to get off of Mike’s cock for a moment, so he might be able to sit up and see whatever the fuck was going on, but Mike’s bulk was immovable and Levi’s legs had gone weak from pleasure long ago.
The arm on his lower back tightened and Mike’s huge palm squeezed his ass closer. Effectively, his squirming was brought to a halt. Since Mike’s chest was practically to Levi’s ear, he felt more than he heard, the alpha’s rumbling groan.
He was well and truly stuck beneath the man. The thought made his heart rate tick up just a bit more. His inner omega rolled with delight, purring to itself. Levi mentally scolded it — now was not the time!
Everything else still felt good, really good. He’d never felt so wet before either. Both their groins were soggy with the sheer amount of slick leaking from him.
Levi tried to calm himself down. He rationalized that he wouldn’t be so slick if something were truly wrong. It was like his body was being equally as weird as Mike’s — anticipating something it wanted carnally. Something that Levi would love to be brought up to speed on.
How could his body know what he didn’t?
Mike’s thrusts descended to short, jilted snaps. In and out, in and out, in and out. The stretch between Levi’s legs was almost unbearable. It was constant now. The swell popped out of him, then was sunk back in, just as quick as it was back pulled out again.
The alpha grunted in time with them. His voice had gone deep and husky and mindless praises spilled from his lips.
“Yeah,” Mike whispered. “There you go, sweetheart. Fuck — there it is. You feel so fucking good. You gonna take it for me?” Accompanying the praise was a harsher snap of his hips and a groan.
Levi’s mouth wouldn’t work. It gaped open in wordless cries and the most debauched gasps and whimpers were wrung from his body. He hardly recognized himself. His fingers dug into the alpha’s back, moving on their own accord to keep him anchored close. He just needed something to cling to — something to hold onto when nothing was making any sense.
Calloused, thick fingers threaded into his hair and held him close to the alpha’s chest. Levi’s omega melted at the action. It was all so overwhelming. Every inch of their skin touched. Levi was held and caressed so gently while also being subjugated to the intense sensation between his legs. The strange feeling in his chest kept growing.
Little gasps and whines were ripped from his throat, unstoppable, high, and pleased.
Silver eyes rolled back in their sockets when, finally, Mike sank in for the final time and the thick base of him nestled inside.
“Take it,” Mike panted. “That’s it — take it for me, baby.”
The fingers in his hair massaged his scalp soothingly while the ones on his ass dug in hard enough to leave bruises.
But it wasn't over. Mike ground in desperately, hips arching to fuck himself in all the deeper. Whimpers poured from Levi’s lips as his peak crashed over him, cresting with the swell as it lodged safely behind his entrance. Intense pressure filled him between his legs, like the swell at Mike’s base was growing rapidly since being shoved inside of him. It was an uncomfortable, foreign squeeze, but it also filled his core with a burning satisfaction like no other before. His pelvis felt hot and his legs numb.
“ Mike! ” Levi nearly wailed with a blinding, desperate, awful and complete pleasure crashing over him. White spread across his tear-blurred vision and his hearing pitched to a high whine; a buzzing filling his head.
It was almost too much.
Mike groaned long and hard. A rush of intense heat flooded into him, filling him deep inside. Levi was useless, trembling violently from head to toe as his body locked up in the coming bliss. Distantly, he was aware of his cock releasing all over their stomachs, cum splattering between them. His limbs locked around Mike, caging the alpha in his arms in an exact mimic of the one around himself.
The comedown was more like a devastating crash, and Levi felt his head loll back against Mike’s palm as everything faded to black.
“... take it…” Mike’s airy whisper was the last thing Levi heard before dropping into darkness.
Acrid smoke woke him. Levi came to slowly, scrunching his nose with displeasure at the foul smell, and managed to peel open his heavy eyes to groggily look around the room.
He was laying on his stomach in Mike’s bed, the sheets tucked up around his shoulders with care.
At the sill, Mike was half perched on the lip with the window cracked whilst tobacco smoke drifted out into the fresh air. He was wearing nothing but a pair of civilian pants, leaving his bare chest on display to anyone passing by. All across his lower and mid back were deep red scratches. The sight caused a slight twinge of pride in his stomach.
“Filthy,” Levi muttered, nuzzling back down into the pillow. He could sleep for another couple years, which was an indicator that Mike had fucked him well and good. Sleep never came easily to him. Not unless he was wrung dry by the annoying mutt in bed beforehand.
Mike’s deep baritone chuckle flittered through the room to Levi’s ears.
“Nothing quite like a smoke after a good fuck.”
There was a smug smile in those words — pride more like. Stupid alpha was so proud that he had made Levi come so hard he’d passed the fuck out.
Levi grumbled sleepily. He was thoroughly worn out. His entire body was sore in the most pleasant, aching way and between his thighs was properly sated. The burning lust from before was long gone, replaced with only a bone-deep satisfaction. Nothing seemed wrong. Even the 104th couldn’t fuck this up for him. Though, there was a distinct ache at his entrance, like a phantom reminder of Mike’s cock lodging into him.
The bed dipped beside him and Levi spared the effort to crack open an eye.
“I’d love to stay and cuddle, but my good looks are needed elsewhere.”
Levi rolled his eyes. It wouldn’t be the first time he’d stayed behind in the alpha’s quarters while Mike went off on business. This time especially, he was more than content to lay here and recuperate. There was most definitely an array of developing hickeys all over his throat and shoulders that he wasn’t quite ready to flaunt. Plus, he wasn’t too sure if could walk just yet. Especially without some ridiculous bow-legged, limpy gait.
Mike leaned down to retrieve his shirt from the floor where it’d been dropped earlier in their hurry to get undressed. He spoke as he shrugged it over his head.
“Y’know, I thought I had crushed you earlier when you went unconscious. Nearly gave me a heart attack,” He mused. “I didn’t know what I was going to tell Erwin.”
Levi snorted. “What a way to go out.”
The man hummed in agreement. Leaning down, he smoothed Levi’s bangs back and pecked a kiss to his forehead. The prickle of his facial hair made Levi wrinkle his nose again.
“I’m a little flattered. I didn’t realize I was that good.” The man smirked and brushed a piece of Levi’s hair behind his ear.
Flushing a little, Levi hid a bit more in the pillow, averting his eyes with a grunt. He was reminded again of the absolute weird fucking thing from earlier. Well… it had felt good, but he still didn’t know what that was all about, and he was a little nervous to ask. Mike didn’t seem bothered at all by what had happened and there was absolutely no way he wasn’t aware of it. They both felt it.
“Don’t let that head of yours get any bigger,” he muttered into the covers in response.
Perhaps it wasn’t that weird if Mike was going about his day like always. The lack of concern soothed Levi’s uncertainty a bit.
See? It wasn’t a big deal, he scolded himself.
Thankfully, Mike relented his teasing and stood from the bed and began putting on his boots, tying up the laces as he spoke.
“I’ve never had someone pass out on me when I knotted them before.” The word caught Levi’s attention and he perked up. So they were going to talk about It.
“But, I suppose there’s a first for everything. Kind of hot, if I’m being honest — once I got over the initial shock.”
Finishing, he grabbed his scout coat and turned for the door, boots thumping over the wood.
Unable to help it, Levi asked curiously. “A knot?”
Mike froze on the spot. The hand poised to reach for the knob slowly lowered. When he turned around, there was a strange look on his face.
“That was that thing you did to me earlier?” Levi clarified, voice soft. Nervousness tinged on his scent. What if Mike thought he was dumb for not knowing?
Confusion built on Mike’s face.
“What do you mean?”
Dropping Mike’s gaze, Levi fixed his eyes on the sheets, and shrugged half-heartedly, suddenly embarrassed.
“Nothing,” he mumbled. “It was just–”
He trailed off. How was he supposed to explain how completely overwhelming it had been? How it felt like he was being split open wide? That the surprise and apprehension of it all had been the worst part. That not for a second did Levi know what the hell was happening. Immediately following it had been the most euphoric high Levi had ever experienced. And Mike seemed to think it was completely normal. Fuck.
Slowly, Mike came back to the bed.
“Levi?” He asked, hesitantly. “Do you… not know what knotting is?”
Biting his lip, Levi shook his head subtly, feeling his cheeks and shoulders grow hot under the alpha’s gaze.
Mike’s scent colored with surprise, then dread.
“Levi!” He exclaimed in a soft, but reprimanding tone, looking worried, if a bit upset. “You said you’d been with an alpha before!”
Levi scowled. “I have, you fuck! He just never — did that. I guess we didn’t get that far.”
“I– wha–” Mike stumbled through his words, clearly unable to make heads or tails of their little predicament. “Levi!?” He finally settled on.
Shame and embarrassment made him want to curl up and hide away. Levi pulled the cover up a bit to hide his face. Stubbornly, he refused to look at Mike. Fuck, this was all so mortifying. Why was he making such a big deal out of this? They didn’t have to make a big stink over something that was apparently common knowledge. He just wanted to know what It was.
“I’ve had sex before,” Levi mumbled under the blankets. “But when that alpha and I were fooling around — his dam came bursting into his room, and hauled him away, screaming like a banshee. We, erm, didn’t get to finish. Everything past that was with…”
He trailed off. The thought of Farlan sent a pang of grief through him.
He heard Mike take a deep breath, then the bed creaked as the alpha sat down heavily on the side again.
After a few moments of silence, he spoke up. “I wish you would have told me.”
“‘S fine,” he mumbled. “It’s not a big deal.”
With a gentle hand, Mike tugged at the covers. Levi begrudgingly let him, allowing the alpha to reveal his face again.
“It is to me,” he said. “If I had known it was your first knot, I would have been gentler — made it special.”
Glaring at him through slitted eyes, Levi bit, “I’m not some delicate fucking princess. I won’t break! I don’t need you to make it 'special’... just a heads up would have been nice.”
Mike’s calm demeanor didn’t break. “But you were scared,” he said simply. “I hate that I did that to you.”
“Wha– scared?” Levi scoffed. “I wasn’t fucking scared, you twit.”
Just… lost. And… unsure. Swept away by a flood of sensations, desires, and instincts that he didn’t quite understand. At his age, to not know what this ‘knotting’ was… it was embarrassing. Levi felt dumb. And he hated feeling dumb. Especially when it came to stuff about his own body.
Mike said nothing, clearly not believing him. Levi felt like he was burning up under the alpha’s steady gaze.
Sighing, Mike rubbed his back soothingly. Levi melted under his touch, some of his anger and embarrassment dispersing.
“I’m going to find Erwin and tell him I’m taking the rest of the day off,” he announced.
Eyes widening, Levi shot up, propping himself up on his elbow to stare at the alpha incredulously. The covers slipped to pool at his waist.
“What?!” He exclaimed. “You don’t have to fucking do that. I’m fine.”
Mike didn’t back down. “Levi, you just took your first knot, unprepared. I want to be here for you.”
Groaning, Levi fell back to the bed and threw his hands up, exasperated. “It’s not a big deal! It’s over,” he argued. “Go do your stupid meetings and train those snot-nosed brats. I’m just going to sleep for a bit. You don’t have to babysit me like I’m some sniveling damsel.”
Mike sighed heavily. “You’re okay now, because I’m here. If I leave, you’ll start to not feel well,” he explained. “When I come back, we’ll cuddle and talk some more.”
Levi opened his mouth, eyes flashing, but Mike cut him off.
“I want to cuddle you,” he solidified with a pointed look, leaving no room for argument. Levi scowled.
The alpha stood and instead of leaving like Levi expected him to — went to the wardrobe and pulled out a soft cotton shirt. Wordlessly, Mike dragged it all over his neck, scrubbing the oil from his glands all over it. Turning back, he offered it to Levi. Wrinkling his nose, Levi plucked it from him with two fingers.
“The fuck is this for?”
“If you start feeling bad while I’m gone,” Mike clarified. “I won’t be out long, but it’s just a precaution.”
Levi rolled his eyes. “Yeah, whatever.” He crossed his arms, the potently scented shirt bunched in a fist.
Mike bent down and kissed his pouting lips softly. He lingered for a moment, brushing his thumb over Levi’s cheek. Swatting him away, Levi grumbled, “Go find Erwin and tell him you’re taking leave to bed bitches.”
Huffing a laugh, Mike straightened up. “You’re not a bitch, Levi,” he reminded him gently. “But I will tell him something important came up.”
It went without saying what ‘important’ was, and for once, Levi felt his cheeks coloring from something other than shame. Finally, Mike turned and left, the door shutting softly behind him.
Left to his thoughts for the first time, Levi sagged against the bed, biting his lip. Walls, that was so awkward. Why did he have to go and do that? It wasn’t like he and Mike were sweethearts or anything like that. They were just messing around and having fun. They’d agreed nothing had to be serious.
And here Levi was, making it serious because he fucked it all up.
Groaning, Levi buried his face into the pillow, cursing himself seven ways to Sunday. Maybe he should just leave? Slip away before Mike came back, avoid him and this ‘talk’ all together. He didn’t think he could face being seen as juvenile and silly in the alpha’s eyes.
Levi gave himself a moment to mourn the loss of such a good dick. He was going to miss having his guts rearranged on a regular basis by one of the rare alphas in the corps that had decent fucking hygiene. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted…
Dragging himself from the bed, he winced as he stood up. His hole certainly was going to feel that for a while. To his horror, he also felt a ridiculous amount of come slide down between his legs. Cursing, he snatched one of Mike’s handkerchiefs and swiped between them a few times, before dressing shakily in his uniform once more.
After shoving his boots on, he slipped from the room, turning the corner to head back to his own room to lick his metaphorical wounds in peace. He didn’t need a fucking scented shirt like a goddamn pup with its teddy. He was fine.
As Levi walked, each step felt raw, but he refused to limp, setting his face in a stony scowl. He cursed Mike’s name over and over in his head. There was no way he’d be able to train like this. Walls, he probably wasn’t going to be able to sit or do much of anything except lay in his bed and recuperate. Hopefully, this wasn’t permanent, and it would go away soon.
On any given day, Mike was fucking huge. Well-endowed and thick to boot. Levi could only imagine what his hole looked like now after having something even bigger shoved inside.
To make it worse, the further he got away from Mike’s room, the tighter his chest became. Like he couldn’t quite… breathe fully. Breaths unnaturally shallow, Levi began to feel sick. Headrush almost made him black out.
Cold sweat broke out across his forehead and a dizzy spell overtook him. Leaning heavily against the wall, he closed his eyes and waited for it to pass, his legs trembling ridiculously beneath him. His heart was racing in his chest, feeling like it might actually burst through his ribs and escape down the hall.
Taking as deep of breaths as he could manage, the spell passed and Levi was able to right himself and see again. Though, he still leaned against the wall for a moment longer, just to make sure everything was well.
Footsteps behind him made him stiffen. Shit, he thought, I can’t let anyone see me like this!
In a weak attempt, he straightened back up, holding his head high, though he still felt cold and shaky. There was sweat gathering on his brow and even running down his back.
“Captain?” A voice called. Levi grimaced internally.
Mustering the effort to turn, and praying he didn’t almost black out again, Levi leveled his gaze with the approaching man. Eld strode up to him, a look of concern on his face.
“Captain?” He repeated, this time a bit more questioning. “Are you alright?”
Trying to catch his racing breath, Levi nodded miniscule. “Fine,” he rasped. To contain his trembling limbs, he crossed his arms tightly. He did his best to put on his normal air. “What the hell do you want?”
Eld eyed him suspiciously. “Just passing by. Are you sure you’re alright? You look ill.”
Levi snapped. “For fucks sake — yes!”
Spinning on his heel, Levi stomped the rest of the way to his room, hell-bent on just getting away from everyone. By the time he’d slammed his door shut, he was sweating buckets and panting hard. A horrible feeling was squirming around in his chest like a parasite. The back of his neck itched and he just felt awful. There was something missing and he couldn’t put his finger on what it was.
Scrubbing an arm over his brow to clear the sweat, Levi crawled into bed, kicking off his boots as fast as he could. He didn’t even bother removing his uniform. He was hot and cold at the same time — shivering whilst sweating. He groaned miserably and curled into a ball in the center of the mattress.
His mind was racing, thoughts too fast to reach and pluck one out.
It felt like an eternity to lay there, his chest tight and heart pounding, with an awful, foreboding feeling swirling through him. He felt bad. He didn’t know how to explain it. It was just — he was alone and he couldn’t get a proper breath in and he was on the brink of literal fucking tears. And for what!?
There was no reason for him to be acting so pathetic. He tried to snap himself out of it, trying to sit up and shake himself off, but it was like he couldn't move. He was stuck in a thick tar pit of self-loathing and he could only yearn for something, anything, to come and take it all away.
He felt… weirdly gross. Like he was so small and little, and the world was so big. He felt cold.
He wanted Mike.
The door slammed open, making Levi jump. Swiveling his head up, he saw Mike standing there, chest heaving.
“Thank the goddesses,” he mumbled, relieved, and pressed the door closed before striding towards the bed. “I was so worried when I couldn’t find you.”
Levi watched him approach, feeling oddly shameful, like he’d been caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to. Mike shucked his jacket off in a flash, kicking his boots off next. Levi whined pathetically in his throat and reached a trembling hand out. He just wanted skin. He needed Mike close. He wanted —
Mike grasped his outstretched hand in his, “I know,” he whispered, climbing into the bed to curl up around him, “I know.”
Immediately, Levi twisted in his grip to surge his head into Mike’s neck, drinking in his scent with needy whimpers. Mike’s arms closed around him tightly.
“Shh, shh, shh,” he soothed, stroking his hair. Levi’s hands were frantic, pulling and tugging at whatever of Mike he could reach. He needed them skin to skin. He wanted to be pressed so tightly together they might as well be one.
Finally, he got his hands beneath the hem of Mike’s shirt and shoved the material aside, clutching the warm, muscled skin beneath, and tucking himself as close as physically possible. Mike hiked him up further on his lap and Levi wrapped his legs over his waist, like a little leech stealing his body warmth.
One of the alpha’s hands dropped to settle on his tailbone, right above the hem of Levi’s pants, and the omega whined incoherently. He arched into the touch, trying to work it lower.
“Hold on,” Mike urged gently.
The arm around Levi’s shoulders let go—
No!
Crying in his throat, Levi grappled himself closer, pressing his cheek to Mike’s chest, plastering himself to the alpha’s front.
“It’s okay.” The soothing words did little to deter him. Only when Mike started pulling his shirt up over his head awkwardly did Levi lift his head enough for him to yank it off before diving back and nuzzling into bare skin and warmth. Bare-chested, the alpha pressed him in close. Weakly, Levi started to purr, trying to be sweet, trying to keep the man close. Mike rubbed his back with his large hands.
Hands that Levi wanted all over his body. Hands that he needed pressing him down while the alpha filled him up. He needed Mike inside. To show him—
Needily, Levi ground up against the alpha’s front, trying to entice him.
“Hold on,” Mike said gently, and that hand trailed lower, making Levi’s spine arch with its path, and began to tug Levi’s own shirt up. The omega’s eyes lit up. Yes!
That was even better. He allowed Mike to pull away only long enough for Levi to wiggle out of the stifling material, before suctioning himself back to the alpha’s front, nuzzling and rutting.
The alpha groaned low and deep. Interest twitched against Levi’s own groin, causing excitement to zing through his veins.
Using the last of his strength, Levi rolled and dug his fingers into the alpha’s back to drag him on top of him, letting his thighs fall open wide. Recreating the scene from before, Levi panted into Mike’s chest, rucking his hips up into the man in hopes that Mike would slide himself back in and knot him again. That would fix him. Levi was sure of it.
He needed Mike to swell inside again. He’d let the alpha come a thousand times within him, hold him down on a knot for hours. Anything!
He needed the alpha to hold him close. He needed to prove…
Mike shushed him, pressing a kiss to Levi’s sweaty forehead. “I know,” he repeated. “I know what you want, but let me show you something different? Hmm? It will feel much better, I promise.”
Levi didn’t care what they did or how they did it, as long as Mike knotted him. Frantically, he nodded. Whatever got the alpha fucking into him.
He allowed Mike to rise off of him and flip him over on his belly. Levi looked at him over his shoulder, still unable to catch his breath, just needing to make sure Mike wasn’t leaving–
The alpha settled his full weight on top of him, covering his entire torso with his own. The bulge in his pants pressed up against the crack of Levi’s ass and he arched into it with a sigh.
This was so much better. It pleased the thing inside of him. It felt good for the alpha to pin him however he wanted. Mike nuzzled their temples together and Levi couldn’t help the pleased purr that rose in his throat. He flexed beneath the alpha, rejoicing in the way the bulk above him remained. Being pressed down felt right.
Mike dragged his nose through the sweaty strands of Levi’s hair and he inhaled audibly. The man slid his palms over the back of Levi’s hands, gathering their limbs together tight and winding their fingers together. Levi made a small noise in the back of his throat. The alpha was locking onto him! This was good. So good.
He’d be mounted for sure.
Mike’s nose traced along the back of Levi’s skull, then dipped lower. A full shiver went through his body when the appendage trailed along his nape. The alpha paused there, taking a whiff, before opening his mouth and licking a fat, hot stripe over the skin.
Shrieking with pleasure, Levi jolted beneath him, shoulder hunching up at the sensations. Mike kept him pinned, not letting him squirm out from underneath him. He scraped his teeth over the same spot, raising goosebumps. Gently, he nipped with just a couple of teeth, pinching the skin lightly before letting it go.
Levi jolted and rocked beneath him, leaking in his pants. Desperately, he tried to hump the bed, or rock back against Mike’s erection. The alpha kept him still. It was infuriating, but also just what he needed.
Again, Mike scraped his scruff and Levi whined.
This time, Mike opened his jaw more and lightly scruffed him, pulling the skin a bit to make Levi go limp. He positively melted under the alpha’s touch, head buzzing, and limbs tingling.
Just a second later, he let go, and Levi collapsed against the mattress, eyes half lidded. Mike tucked his nose behind Levi’s ears and sniffed again, testing. He pressed a soft kiss just below and Levi’s body reacted on its own, shivering and curling. Shuffling more onto him, Mike squeezed him close, rubbing his thumbs over the back of Levi’s hands soothingly, and pressed another kiss, just a bit lower, near Levi’s raised gland.
The omega whimpered pathetically, jolting, but he didn’t get far.
Mike gathered his scruff in his mouth again, and this time, as he pulled, he lightly ground down into Levi’s ass, humping him gently.
Levi’s brain turned off. His head was empty and he was on cloud nine.
When Mike released him and dropped his forehead between Levi’s shoulders, the omega feebly tried to get his knees underneath him, directed by some age-old instinct, wanting something he didn’t understand, again.
Mike was quick to catch on to Levi’s squirming. The alpha lifted off of him enough so Levi could arch himself up in the air, shoving his hips back into the alpha’s.
Mike steadied him, releasing one of Levi’s hands to stroke over his heaving stomach, and pressed his hips into him in turn.
“That’s it,” he murmured praisingly. “Do what you need to do, sweetheart. Do what feels right.”
Together, their bodies rocked in tandem. Like moving on waves, Mike leaned forward into him, and Levi pushed them back. It felt heavenly. Mike’s arm was a hot brand on his stomach.
Soon, Levi got restless. He dropped Mike’s hand in favor of lifting himself up on his elbows, pressing the alpha’s weight up. He arched his head back, searching.
Mike cupped his cheek in hand and pressed their lips together, kissing him softly. Levi whined into his mouth, licking across the seam of his lips. The alpha opened for him and deepened their kiss.
Levi gasped when a hand fondled his bulge.
Mike held him close, an arm hugging him firmly around his chest, and the other massaging his cock through his pants. He let Mike sit him back in his lap, grabbing the thick forearm around his chest for stability.
Fingers toyed with his zipper.
“Want these off, baby?” Mike whispered into his hair. Levi bit his lip and nodded, eyes closed from how overwhelming the sensations were. It was a good kind of overwhelming this time. He just felt everything so much more.
Mike helped him shuck his uniform pants down and kick them away. The alpha let him drop back onto his elbows while he worked on his own, leaving Levi to watch over his shoulder, chest heaving against the sheets.
They were gloriously naked again and the thing inside of Levi rolled with delight. Finally!
The man’s cock swayed between his legs and Levi felt himself slick at the sight. He blinked sluggishly, dazed. His mind only wanting one thing. His hole was already dripping and open from earlier, but more joined the mess. He hoped it enticed the alpha instead of driving him away. He’d knotted and came in Levi before — he’d do it again? Right?
He’d remember what it felt like to be inside of him. How good Levi could be for him.
As if reading the desperation on Levi’s face — the open want — Mike gripped himself in hand and lined himself up. Leaning over Levi’s back, he held himself up on one palm. Mike slid in, in one smooth movement. Burying himself to the hilt, he paused there, listening as Levi groaned in relief.
The alpha leaned over him, his hands on his hips like a brand. His fingers nearly reached Levi's navel on their side. His thumbs soothed over the knobs of Levi’s spine.
He took a long inhale, then moaned softly. “Fuck, Lee, are you going to go into heat for me? Just to keep me close and knotting you?”
He dropped over Levi’s back, one arm holding hips close, the other wrapping over his chest once more.
“If that’s what you need,” he whispered, kissing the shell of Levi’s ear. “I’m not leaving. I promise. I’ll knot you as many times as you need, baby.”
Gently, he began to pump his hips in and out. Usually, it would take a lot longer for Levi to warm up and be ready to accept him, but his hole was lax from their earlier romp and from Mike nibbling around his nape.
Levi groaned, eyes rolling back in his head, he bunched the sheets under his fists and canted his hips back into Mike’s thrusts. The need in his blood remained ever-present, but his omega sang with the achievement of getting the alpha inside of him once more.
Mike worked in and out of him quickly. Occasionally, he brushed that spot inside of Levi that made him see stars and groan in his chest.
The hand on his chest slid up over his throat and firmly cupped his chin, tilting Levi’s head back as his hips worked, forcing Levi’s to arch his spine more. The alpha kissed him tenderly and the new angle made him moan against Levi’s lips, eyes shut. He jerked Levi up onto his knees, pressing the omega’s back to his chest.
Levi’s temple brushed against the man’s nose and he felt Mike’s hot breaths against his skin as he continued to work between Levi’s thighs.
“Alpha,” Levi managed to push a hushed, strangled whisper out of his throat. “Please,” he sighed.
“I’ve got you,” Mike promised. His hips met Levi’s ass with each thrust. “I’m gonna knot you, just like you need, I promise.”
Levi whimpered as slick dripped from him at the words. It drooled onto the sheets below, but he was past caring. Mike wrapped a hand around his cock and began to jerk him wetly. Levi’s mouth gaped open, still held in Mike’s grasp.
His knees struggled, thighs trembling. Mike began to grunt softly with each deep thrust.
“That’s it,” he growled, swiping the pad of his thumb over Levi’s head, and listening to the omega’s pitched whines. “Tell me what feels good.”
“Ah–” Levi gasped, starting to shake mindlessly in Mike’s arms. “Please.”
The alpha cursed under his breath, then bent them in half, starting to rut into Levi quicker. Cry after cry left his lips as his length was fisted deliciously and the alpha pumped deep inside of him.
“Fuck!” Mike snarled, losing his rhythm for a moment. “Fuck, Lee, here it comes. Gonna knot you, baby.”
Mike slammed his hips in one last time and held it there. The only movement he made was grinding shallowly deeper against his rim. Slowly, Mike lowered them so Levi was on his elbows again, resting. Levi barely had a second to catch his breath before he felt the first prick of the initial stretch.
Immediately, his eyes flew open wide and his body moved on its own. He dropped fully onto his front, flattening his chest to the bed, and pressing his hips up and back as high as he could.
He didn’t understand the position, he just knew he wanted. A high, uncertain whine left his throat.
“Mike!”
This time, the alpha read the uncertainty in his call. Sealing himself back over top of him, Mike pressed his face into Levi’s neck, kissing him over and over again. The scruff of his facial hair made him shiver.
“Shh, you’re okay,” he whispered into Levi’s neck.
The alpha didn’t thrust at all, instead keeping his hips pinned to Levi’s backside, and the arm across Levi’s pelvis to ensure they stayed joined. This time, Levi was allowed to feel the slow budding stretch behind his rim, without the scare and overstimulation of it popping in and out.
Levi tried to take deep breaths, shuffling his knees together to get comfortable. Mike squeezed him warningly, ensuring he didn’t accidentally unlock them, so Levi relaxed and let his cheek rest on the covers, waiting.
A moment passed, and a clenching sensation went through his lower half. Levi gasped and tried to look behind him, but Mike pressed their cheeks together, tightening his arms and shushing him. The alpha’s long bangs tickled his forehead. Nervousness bled into his scent despite his wishes.
It was happening again! His body was doing weird things and he didn’t understand.
“It’s okay,” Mike soothed. “It’s just your body trying to engage me. This is normal. You’re okay.”
The hand on his hip, stroked him calmingly.
“I thought it would be better than putting you through earlier again. Your body will set the pace. Trust it.”
Levi felt his internal muscles contract and squeeze around Mike again. The alpha muffled a groan into his neck, but remained still. The knot got a little bigger. Levi’s heart was pounding out of his chest. He was sure Mike could feel it from where his palm rested over his ribcage.
The alpha pulled his face away and kissed his cheek. “It’s okay, Lee,” he mumbled. “Let it feel good.”
He tried. He really did.
But, when the next wave came and his body did the weird jolting thing and Mike’s cock got even bigger to the point where it was starting to become uncomfortable, he couldn’t help but squirm.
Inherently, his body knew what to do, it was just Levi hated that it felt like it was moving on its own. He felt powerless. His body was not setting a pace he liked. It was all too soon, too quickly. It felt more like uncontrollable heaving than his own choice.
His hips canted up again, trying to shove Mike in deeper, which he succeeded in. The thick stretch went in further making Levi shiver violently. It was all so strange.
“Almost there,” Mike grunted. “You’re doing so good, baby. Keep going.”
Indeed, the knot started to feel like a small fist in his ass. The stretch was easier this time around, as he was loose and slick, but Levi was still alarmed at how foreign it felt. There was a cock trying to lodge itself inside and… stay there. How was he supposed to get used to this? He whimpered and squeezed his eyes shut.
Mike slid his hand awkwardly up his chest to stroke his fingers at Levi’s nape. He rubbed his thumb and pointer finger on either side of his spine in gentle strokes, making Levi exhale shakily.
“You’re okay,” Mike reaffirmed. “Just this last time, then we don’t have to do this again.”
His other hand returned to jerking Levi’s cock with quick, wet strokes, in an attempt to distract him.
Levi squeezed around him again and the alpha’s knot popped fully, lodging behind his rim. He came violently with a shout. Everything became obsolete outside of the stretch. Levi’s mind went blank and white filled his vision. He knew Mike was speaking to him, but he couldn’t discern words at all. Just the gentle rumble of the alpha’s voice.
The wave of emotions and rush of sensations was more… manageable this time around, though it still felt like he’d never hear or see again. He was finally able to blink enough times for the world to come back into focus and his ears to pick up sound again.
Mike was rutting softly against him when he came back. The alpha was careful not to pull back too far, but he was obviously chasing relief desperately. He huffed as quietly as he could in Levi’s ear, skin burning hot across his back.
Wordlessly, Levi reached up to thread his fingers in Mike’s hair to comfort him too. It was the least he could do, after the alpha did everything he could to soothe him.
Mike gasped at the contact, groaning deep in his throat.
“Please, Mike,” Levi whispered through dry lips. “Please, Alpha, inside.”
Mike whimpered.
“Inside,” Levi coaxed, relaxing down into the sheets and tilting his hips a bit to meet Mike’s half-jilted thrusts.
With a strangled groan, Mike collapsed on top of him, and Levi could feel the cock twitch inside of him. Heat rushed deep into his gut and Levi shivered in Mike’s steel embrace.
Burying his face in the covers, Levi moaned weakly.
Fuck, he was always going to cave to that.
The rolling, tugging, uneasy sensation from before was blissfully quelled. Levi reveled in the warmth of Mike at his back and the thud of their beating hearts dissipating. Now that the hardest part was over, Levi had to admit, it wasn’t that bad. The stretch was always present in the back of his mind, but it felt good to be joined so close, with the alpha spilling inside. He could tell Mike was pleased, based on the heaviness to his scent, and that made him feel good too.
The hairs of Mike’s mustache prickled at the back of his neck as the alpha kissed softly over his nape. Levi sighed heavily.
His bangs were soothed back, and the alpha peered down at him.
“How are you feeling?”
Shifting, Levi took stock of himself. He gave a small shrug. “Better,” he mumbled.
Mike sniffed him. “You smell better,” he commented. Levi scowled lightly.
The alpha leaned over him and kissed his brow to chase it away. When he pulled back, Levi’s face was calm once more.
“‘M gonna shift us,” Mike warned, gripping him close.
Carefully, Mike helped him lower so he was flat on his stomach; the alpha was now able to rest more of his weight on the bed rather than hold himself up.
Softly, he plucked a sweat-soaked strand off Levi’s forehead and tucked it behind his ear, then he sighed heavily.
“I know you don’t want a lecture—”
“Then don’t,” Levi growled.
Mike dropped his weight onto him unceremoniously, crushing the breath from Levi’s lungs.
“Oof– the fuck was that for?!” Levi snapped angrily.
“Levi, we need to talk,” Mike said plainly, like he hadn’t just squished the omega beneath him. “Or at least, you need to listen.”
“I don’t want the birds and the bees talk,” Levi bit hotly, heat rushing to his cheeks.
Mike shrugged. “Well, seeing as you’re going to be stuck beneath me for a while, I don’t think you really have a choice.”
Dropping his forehead to the sheets, Levi groaned theatrically.
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of,” he offered.
“Oh, spare me.”
“Not everyone gets the same introduction to this kind of stuff,” Mike continued, ignoring him. “That’s why I want to make sure you’re aware of things.”
Levi grumbled into the sheets.
“Levi, you didn’t know what knotting was,” Mike said gently. “That’s a big thing for an omega. I just want to make sure we aren’t caught by surprise again in the future.”
The ‘we’ part made Levi blink.
Mike sighed. “I don’t really know where to start. Uh, you obviously know about heats and ruts, I’m assuming.”
Levi colored violently. “Yes, I’m aware my body goes into ‘fuck-me!’ mode on a routine basis. Thanks for the heads up, asshole.”
Mike rolled his eyes. “Okay. Well the other half of it is: when an alpha hits sexual maturity, we develop a knot. It’s this little gland at our base that will swell under intense stimulation to lock us inside our partner for a while. During a rut, we’re guaranteed to knot every time we cum, as it’s a reproduction thing. The body wants to ensure as much remains inside as possible, for as long as possible, especially when we’re most potent.”
This time, Levi was silent. He hadn’t known that.
“All other times, we can just come and be done with it – no knot. It takes a certain, ah, level of excitement or a feeling, I guess, to pop a knot outside of rut. Intense emotions, for one. Or encountering an omega in heat.”
“So,” Levi bit his lip hesitantly. Mike paused and let him think. “Earlier…” he trailed off, the words getting stuck in his throat.
He heard the alpha swallow. “Intense emotion,” he said quietly.
“Oh.”
Something tugged in his heart, but Levi batted it away. Not now.
“And that?” Levi asked instead. “You’re not rutting. How’d you knot?”
“You were practically in heat,” Mike laughed humorously. “An omega’s first knot —” he fixed Levi with a look, “— especially when they don’t know what’s going on — is a high influx of hormones and emotions. The comedown can suck, so I’ve heard. You need someone there with you, making sure you don’t drop.”
Levi looked away stubbornly. He didn’t need someone to baby him. Lips passed over his ear, making him shiver minutely.
“I can hear you thinking,” Mike grumbled. “Yes, even you need to be held. I wouldn’t have found you like I had, if not.”
“I would have been fine,” Levi said defensively.
“Maybe,” Mike agreed. “But it would have been shitty, and it would have taken a while. You would have been desperate for the first knot you got, whoever it was.”
The implication was not lost on him. Levi shuddered.
“Thanks, I guess,” he gritted out.
Mike grinned wolfishly. “That’s what I like to hear. ‘Thank you alpha for knotting me’,” he teased.
“Don’t push your luck,” Levi growled. “I will smother you in your sleep and you’ll be none the wiser.”
“Don’t dirty talk me so soon, Levi, we just fucked.”
Levi snarled in response.
“Anything else?”
“How am I even supposed to know what I don’t know,” he complained.
“I guess I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“Again,” Levi said, annoyed, “I won’t break. I wouldn’t have a fist-sized knot in my ass if not.”
The alpha grunted in acknowledgment. “I just wish I hadn’t rushed you. Should’ve been done more like this the first time.”
“Yeah, well—” Levi rolled his eyes and dragged the alpha down into a kiss. “I was never mad at you. I just didn’t fucking understand what was happening. You were literally growing in my ass. It was weird.”
Mike grinned against his lips. “Does that mean I can knot you again or–?
“Ugh, not for a fucking week, at least. My ass is ruined right now.”
The man chuckled, gathering him close, and pressing soft kisses all over his face and neck. He finished off with a slobbery wet lick to Levi’s gland.
“Ack-! You dog, stop that!”
Mike laughed playfully, then settled with his nose pressed to the top of Levi’s head, taking a gentle inhale. They lay in comfortable silence for a few moments and Levi enjoyed the steady beating of his heart against his back. Mike’s scent lingered in the air around them, warm and protective. Affectionate, even. A warm glow had taken over Levi’s insides.
He felt safe. Cared for.
The minutes passed and soon the intense stretch in his ass subsided. With a muttered warning, Mike slowly withdrew his hips, slipping from Levi’s twitching hole with a rush of cum and slick, and pulled them both to their sides, facing one another
The sheets would need to be changed, but for just a while, Levi let Mike have his way, cuddling him close. It felt too nice to resist. The way the alpha rubbed up and down his arm, his other hand gently playing with Levi’s hair, soothed him. Levi pressed his cheek into the warmth of Mike’s chest, snuggling into the embrace; the weight of the alpha’s heavy arm at his back was grounding. A promise.
After countless expeditions outside the walls and their close companionship behind closed doors, Levi knew he could always count on the alpha to have his back. He trusted him, implicitly. To save his life, on and off the battlefield. And, as it would seem, he could trust him blind. Even in situations where Levi was lost and directionless, Mike would ease his worries.
Outside, the twittering of birds and the distant shouts of cadets made for a pleasant ambiance. His bed partner, and trusted friend, was holding him tight. The sun was warm and vibrant, painting the room in yellow. Levi could not imagine a more perfect moment.
Gentle fingers scratched over the back of his scalp, making him nearly purr with contentment.
“Can I get you anything?” Mike murmured softly into the omega’s hair.
Biting his lip, Levi subtly shook his head. The last thing he wanted was for Mike to leave — and he wasn’t even dropping anymore. “No,” he answered. “Just stay like this.”
