final decision ~ levi x erwin

word count: 1.2k

summary: levi is a criminal, erwin is the police chief...what could go wrong?

a/n: i literally love the whole “sarcastic criminal levi” thing,, also the hange & moblit detective duo😩🤚🏻yes please

Levi smirked as he found himself tied to a chair, this was all a part of his plan. He was an infamous criminal in Stohess, an overpopulated city that was run by gangs and violence. Not that the actual occupants cared, they were all rich know-it-alls who looked down on anyone who wasn’t of their social status. Levi had allowed himself to get caught, knowing it would be too easy to leave a trail, especially with detective Hange and her sidekick Moblit. They were always the ones assigned to find him, Levi finding it comical at how easily they fell for his tricks. 

Levi busied himself with loosening the binds on his wrists as he scanned the room for an exit. He was in a cell, the only light coming from a small rectangular window in the corner. 

The door slammed open and in walked Hange with Moblit on their tail. They were smirking, circling Levi with their hands clasped behind their back. Moblit stood in the corner, notepad and pencil ready to document everything.

Hange paused in front of him. “What are you playing at?”

Levi raised a brow, his smirk deepening. “Whatever do you mean?” 

They rolled their eyes, “oh don’t play dumb with me, Ackerman. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The inexcusable violence, wreaking havoc on the city. Why?”

“Just having some fun,” Levi shrugged. “It’s like a hobby more or less.”

Hange gaped at him for a moment. “A hobby.” 

Levi nodded, “yep, it’s exactly that.”

They threw their hands in the air, “violence is not a hobby, Levi!” 

“Depends on the way you look at it.” 

They groaned before running a hand over their face. “We can’t keep wasting our time on you, your tricks are getting old. We’re figuring out the patterns. In short, you’re slacking, Levi.” 

It was Levi’s turn to smirk, “who said I was slacking?” 

Their expression grew confused, mind turning and thinking of every possibility, trying to figure out the meaning behind Levi’s strange words. They thought they had it all figured out, but his reaction only made them rethink it. 

Before Hange could restate their solution, the alarms started echoing through the building. Bright red lights flashing throughout. 

“Shit,” they frantically looked to Moblit, who shoved the notepad in his pocket and ran to the door. They turned to Levi before exiting, finding him smirking in his chair with his hands untied and resting on his crossed legs. 

He glanced at his watchless wrist before tapping it. “Right on time.” 

“What did you do this time you bastard,” Hange growled. 

Levi shrugged, “just having some fun. You guys really should be more careful.” 

“What are you-” Before Hange could finish, both them and Moblit were knocked unconscious. 

“That was easy, far too easy.” Farlan chuckled, holding the door open  for Levi. 

He nodded. “Where’s Isabel?” 

“Um, good question.” Farlan glanced around a corner before gesturing with his gun for them to continue. “She ran off in some other direction, something about the police chief.” 

Levi’s relaxed expression dropped, “the police chief?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong? She’s handled more difficult opponents,” Farlan shrugged. 

“No. No, no, no. He’s different. He plans ahead, he knows when things are coming.” Levi glanced around frantically before breaking into a sprint in the opposite direction.

Farlan groaned and lowered his gun and ran after him. 

They came upon a big wooden door, slightly ajar. Levi held a finger to his lips and silently looked through it. He observed for a moment before slamming it open. 

Inside it appeared to be an office, a large wooden desk in the middle, the perimeter of the room lined with bookshelves. Except Isabel lay crumbled on the ground and a man sat at the desk, his feet casually resting on top. 

At the sound of the door opening, he took them off and leaned forward onto the desk with his fingers templed. “Ah, Levi. I had a feeling you’d show up.” His sapphire eyes twinkled with an unknown emotion as he smiled slyly.

 Levi raised his hands slightly as he slowly crept forward, Farlan stayed by the door but kept his hand on his gun. “I don’t know what game you’re playing at, Erwin, but leave them out of it.” Levi said cautiously. “Whatever you’re going to do is between me and you, not them.” 

Erwin hummed, his expression becoming thoughtful. “As you wish,” he flicked a finger at the door and two people came in and grabbed Farlan and picked up Isabel. 

“Hey!” Levi protested, “be careful with her.”

“Don’t worry, they’ll be fine while we chat.” Erwin stood and strided to the door, shutting it quietly. He turned to Levi, his hands clasped behind his back as he narrowed his eyes at him, only slightly. That sly smile never left his face. “You managed to infiltrate my squad...in record timing too. I must congratulate you on that, quite impressive.” 

Levi rolled his eyes. “Get on with it old man.”

Erwin cleared his throat with a bemused smile before continuing. “We could use someone like you, intelligent, quick on their feet. You don’t see true talent like that anymore.” 

Levi snorted before crossing his arms and tapping his feet, this wasn’t his first rodeo with Erwin and his convincing ways. Although his good looks didn’t make it any easier. He made sure to avoid eye contact, his sparkling eyes would be just enough to convince Levi to do anything he wanted. 

Erwin moved around Levi and sat on the edge of his desk, “I know you don’t believe me. But it’s safer, you wouldn’t be risking your life constantly without reason.” 

“And working for you changes that?” Levi shook his head. “No, I don’t think so.” 

Erwin shrugged, his large shoulders pulling his button down tighter. Levi sucked in a quick breath and his eyes scanned the room, looking at anything but him. 

“Levi,” Erwin mumbled, suddenly closer than before. Levi turned his head to the side to avoid looking directly at him. Erwin placed his hand on his cheek gently and forced him to make eye contact. Their eyes met, softening grey on thoughtful blue. “I know you want to ensure their safety, believe me I know how that feels. Everyone here...I want to make sure they’re safe too. They’re family. Just like how Isabel and Farlan are to you.” 

Levi broke eye contact, choosing to look over Erwin’s shoulder at the wall. Erwin spoke again, his voice impossibly soft. “I just want to protect you.” 

Levi felt his warm breath fan across his face, his eyes fluttered closed and he unintentionally leaned closer. Their lips lightly brushed before Levi clenched his jaw and pulled away, speaking tightly. “I know we….we had a past. But that needs to stay in that time, we’ve both changed. I-I can’t be with someone, getting close to people is dangerous. I’m already close with Isabel and Farlan and that’s a mistake waiting to happen. You never know when someone is going to leave you, intentionally or not.” 

Erwin’s voice became pained, “Levi, I told you I wouldn’t leave you then and I won’t leave you now. Just please...please give this a chance. I want you to be safe-” 

Levi pulled himself from Erwin’s grasp, his eyes becoming cold and distant once more. “You don’t know what’s best for me, this is the life I’ve chosen and I can’t change it.” He walked to the door, pausing as his hand met the handle. “Goodbye, Erwin.” 

Erwin’s shoulders sagged as he knew that Levi made his decision, the final decision. And there was no going back on it.

have a good day <33

soilder erwin x criminal levi part 1/?

- erwin was a marine deployed in afghanistan who was honorably discharged after nearly his entire platoon was killed in an explosion

- he was honorably discharged because he lost his arm and for matters relating to ptsd.

- erwin frequently has dreams about his platoon, and he blames himself for their deaths, because he was the oldest of the group and took on a leader role.

- during the explosion he lost his childhood friend nile.

- nile was one of the first people erwin had come out to who accepted him.

- mike lets erwin live with him incase erwin has ptsd related panic attacks in the middle of the night.

- mike forces erwin to get a service dog

- the dogs name is noodle, he’s a golden retriever

- mike makes the joke “oh god there’s three blonds in the same house now.”

- they meet at a gay bar, levi tried to stealing erwins wallet

- erwins used to being constantly alert and as soon as he feels something touching him he turns around so quick that levi is dumbfounded, and he gets an elbow to the face

- it’s the first time levi had ever been caught pickpocketing

- “what the fuck.”

- “sorry dude, your ass was just too nice.”

- “it makes up for my lack of an arm i guess.”

- erwin totally ends up grinding on levi

- levi doesn’t know how to explain that he wasn’t looking for a hookup, he was trying to rob him

- he’ll let it play out though, because erwin is his type.

- erwin asks levi to come back to his place where it’s quieter

- levi accepts

- “i don’t do one night stands.”

- “good thing i have two then.”

- noodle doesn’t trust levi at first, but since erwin seems to trust him, he’ll give levi a chance.

- “oh, you have a dog? you don’t seem like a dog person.”

- “i love animals, but he’s my service dog so.”

- “you were in the marines?”

- “yeah, it’s why im missing my arm, and why i have noodle.”

- “wait wait. your dogs name is noodle? what the hell?”

- “he’s my boy. don’t know what i’d do without him.”

- somehow conversation escalates to grinding and a heated makeout session.

- mike cockblocks them.

- “erwin i’m home— oh shit you have someone over.”

- erwin gets extremely embarrassed and levi nearly pisses himself from laughing.

- “oh shit, it’s getting late. i have to go”

- erwin calls levi an uber and walks him out.

- “here’s my number, call me sometime?”

- levi says yeah even though he totally doesn’t intend to call erwin

- “please do, i really mean it. i really enjoyed tonight, and it’s one of the better nights i’ve had in awhile.”

- levi says “i will, i promise.”, and levi ackerman doesn’t make promises.
