Ah. No response. That's too bad; Erwin would like to hear the man's voice, to let him be an active participant in this. Well, maybe he'll say something once he hears what Erwin's actual plan is. He imagines he won't be pleased with it; the alternatives are simply worse.

"You've gotten quite infamous, Levi," he starts; there's no mockery in his tone however. In fact, it almost sounds impressed. "That said, your criminal career ends right here. You and your friends have two choices; you may join the Survey Corps and fight for us, starting off with a clean record, or you may refuse. In that case, we will hand you over to the Military Police, though I can't imagine they will be lenient about your crimes."

It's not really a choice. The latter option would spell gallows for all three of them -- or, perhaps, something even worse for Levi specifically, considering his type and the ideas people this far inside the walls had about rehabilitating straying omegas. Nonetheless, Erwin wants to wrench that confirmation of cooperation from him anyway. Whether or not he honors it, he will not be able to say he was forced into this.

"Regretfully, as you're aware, your type is not allowed to join the military. However, we have worked out a solution."

He can't officially be offered the same choice as the other two, but Erwin is nothing if not persistent, and with enough nights spent with his nose buried in books, he'd found just the loophole he needed.

"I, Erwin Smith, would take you, Levi, as my official mate. As such, you would have full access to our equipment and facilities like everyone else, and accompany me on expeditions should I request it."

Considering the society treated omegas as second class citizens at best, an alpha would definitely be within his rights to order them to die if they decided so. The law would allow Levi to participate in the scouts' activities, even if his gear would have to come as courtesy from Erwin. It's one he fully intends to extend, of course. Levi's skill with the 3DM gear is unlike anything he's ever seen, and if he needs to play the system to have it on his side, he will do it without a second thought.

He can't deny he would quite enjoy owning the feisty little thing in other ways, as well, but that is not his focus at the moment. The cause comes first.

"Do you agree? Make your choice."

Levi isn't stupid. He knows where this is going before Erwin even gets there but it makes it no less infuriating to have it laid out before him out loud. That the fact he is an omega forces him into this sort of unsavory position when he's more than qualified to join on his own merits. His face darkens if it's possible.

His choices are clear. He can go to the gallows or worse, or he can let himself become the property of Erwin. That's all he would be. He fought his way from being a vulnerable omega, controlled by the whims of any alpha who decided he looked interesting. He's not untouched and this isn't the first time his hand is being forced by an alpha. It hasn't happened for a while...

This is the first time he would be mated, though. Every fiber of his being what's to say no. He wants to kill this man who seems so haughty. More than anything, Levi wants to survive... So there's only one choice.

"Yes."

One word to relinquish any sense of freedom that he'd had.

[audentior]

"I'm glad to hear that."

He gives a signal to his squad which starts moving out, taking Isabel and Farlan along. The tall guy with a mustache remains behind Levi for the moment however, as if uncertain whether Erwin might still need to be protected.

Erwin doesn't rise from his knee just yet either. Instead he examines Levi's face, and there's almost a hint of apologeticness to his voice when he adds, more quietly, perhaps wishing to spare Levi some privacy; "I'm afraid they will be checking for the mark before releasing you into our care. May I?"

While the MPs were not particularly clever, they were also not stupid. Mate-bonding a criminal from the Underground that he'd just met the day of was a bold venture even for someone with Erwin's reputation, and naturally they had assumed he was bluffing.

There's only one way for this to succeed, however, and he'd told Shadis as much. Luckily, he had no actual plans to start a family, well aware of the dangers and life expectancy in the Survey Corps, so it's not like he would be limiting future options for himself. No, he's merely making a move, and purchasing a new piece for the appropriate price.

If anything, it should provide Levi some peace of mind, he thinks, not sure why his thoughts keep going to the feisty little omega in front of him. Perhaps he's trying to convince himself that what he's doing isn't entirely reprehensible. Levi will be a Scout in all but official occupation, and once he's Erwin's, permanently wearing part of each other's scent, he should be bothered less by alphas even if he goes out unaccompanied. He might even be afforded some privileges topside, though Erwin doubts he would think it's worth the loss of his freedom.

But it is what it is. He waits patiently for the permission to bite him, more like claiming, though the full bonding of course involves more actions that he doesn't deem necessary at this point. He's already bending Levi to his cause; he isn't going to force him to share his bed, though depending how things develop they may not always be in the right state of mind to keep things professional.

please forgive the slow 🙏

Levi has a moment where his glare falters, watching the others being led away. They'll be okay, more or less. He's certain of that, at least in a better situation than he finds himself in. The glare quickly returns to Erwin. He's wary of him. He'd be a fool to trust anything he says but Levi knows he's in an impossible position and if nothing else he is a survivor.

Even knowing that there's no other choice, it's hard to make this decision. He's hard to willingly bare his neck and give away the only thing he actually had. As much as he'd like to get out of the Underground this would never have been a path he'd have chosen.

Levi does what's necessary, though, tilting his head and exposing his throat to Erwin. His heart's racing in his chest but he refuses to give away anything. He's certain that with this bite there would surely be more than that when they were somewhere more private. He hasn't decided yet if that's something he'll fight. Maybe, he'll play along for a little while, gain this alpha's trust and then betray him when he expects it least.

no worries 💖

Erwin watches the grouchy stray patiently. He thinks he has a fairly good idea on what's going through his head -- but he's not done pushing him just yet. He will need to learn him, his limits and his weaknesses, and what better time to start than the present?

"Use your words, Levi, please," he says, calm but firm, sky-blue eyes staring relentlessly into stormy gray, no matter how much Levi may be trying to look away. If he falters even for a moment, he's going to be caught in actual eye contact. Erwin doesn't move, doesn't lean in, not yet. "So we can be sure there is no misunderstanding."

As if he really has another choice at the moment. Well, depending how proud a creature he is, perhaps he would rather die. Erwin does not intend to honor that wish, but for now, he can keep his cards close to his chest.

[cleanlines]

Levi hands are curled into fists and for a moment their eyes meet and then it's hard to look away again. The anger he feels boils hotter as he realizes that Erwin is forcing him to verbally consent. As if baring his neck isn't enough?

"Yes."

The word comes from behind clenched teeth.

[audentior]

Of course it's not. While Levi doesn't seem to be that kind of an omega, it wasn't exactly uncommon for his kind to act submissive -- yes, even baring their throats -- in the presence of an alpha without necessarily being completely willing to do so. This doesn't entirely eliminate that problem, he supposes, but at least it confirms that Levi is present and of sound mind.

Perhaps it will make Erwin feel better about what he's about to do.

Perhaps it will land in the long list of things he's penning down in his head as proof that he deserves Hell.

"Very well," he says, finally leaning closer. He noses a little along Levi's jawline, under his ear, letting his scent seep into his senses. "I do wish it hadn't been necessary." But they must play the hand they're dealt with, and he's sure Levi is thinking much the same thing, if perhaps with some darker plans for the future.

Once his mouth is lined up with the appropriate spot in his scent glands, he closes the rest of the distance and bites, letting the small fangs pierce the skin, their scents now mingling, each gaining a hint of the other's.

It's only then that the tall guy watching them finally turns away, content that Levi doesn't try to pull anything while the plan is not yet realized. Not that there's much of a need for privacy at this moment; a second later, at a signal from Erwin no doubt, the rope around Levi's wrists is cut. He isn't running away anymore, not with that mark on his neck and on the very soul of his being.

Erwin finally pulls away, standing to his full height, and offers a hand to Levi to help him up.

[cleanlines]

Levi's eyes close as the other moves in close, steeling himself against the way his body instinctually reacts to an alpha nosing at him, leaving his skin tingling, his scent spiking. He doesn't believe that Erwin wishes he hadn't had to do this. There's no trust in him at all.

Time seems to slow to a crawl as the other makes his way to the right spot. He holds his breath, focusing on the pain of the bite rather than anything else that tries to rush his senses.

Erwin's scent feels like it's surrounding him even when he pulls away, even as Levi is rubbing his wrists after they'd been freed. He resists the urge to touch the bite. It couldn't be undone. He ignores the alpha's hand and gets up on his own.

"What now?"

[audentior]

The rejection doesn't seem to ruffle Erwin in the slightest; he merely smiles pleasantly at Levi getting up and retracts his hand, resting it behind his back.

"Now we leave this place," he says, because that had been the goal all along, ever since he first heard of a little thief giving the MPs a run for their money, saw Levi flying through the putrid air like a trapped falcon. He deserved so much more. He deserved the chance to breathe freely, to use his talents for humanity's sake, to be a bigger existence than a mere criminal stealing and killing his way to survival.

"Now, you will be a hero, Levi."

[cleanlines]

The smile just makes Levi want to glare harder.

"Don't flatter me," Levi says low. He doesn't necessarily want to be a hero. And he's not. He's a toy that's playing within the boundaries that his owner is going to allow him. He can't see it for anything but that. There is one thing that Levi can't help but be glad of... escaping the underground.

"I'll be no more a hero than your mount is considered a hero."

[audentior]

He may be reluctant at first, but it's something Erwin is willing to gamble on. From the impression he had gotten so far, Levi was interested in seeing, having, being more; his life had merely never given him enough breathing room for it.

That was about to change, and he's not about to pretend he's doing this of some sort of an altruistic compulsion. No, he's very aware he's asking -- forcing -- Levi to risk his very life for a cause that is not (yet) his own. But if someone as skilled as him could not survive, then perhaps there was no hope for any of them. It is another bet he's willing -- necessitated -- to take.

Erwin's sunny disposition finally clouds somewhat, large brows drawing together in seriousness, yet he has the gall to look almost a little contrite.

"Perhaps at first," he relents. "But I can not imagine anyone maintaining that opinion for long once they see you in action."

And yet another gamble. So much could be riding on that, however. Perhaps an entire overhaul of their society. If an omega decisively proves themselves in battle, the ban for them to join the military may finally be lifted. It's not like the special accommodations they require are much different from women's, and with the country running low on soldiers, they'll be willing to start cutting corners soon one way or another. Erwin will be there to fan the flames, of course.

For now, though, it's up to Levi.

"Is there anything you wish to take with you? I don't mind taking a little detour."

He doubts he has any precious belongings, living in such a place, but it doesn't hurt to ask. It's little steps like this that take up building trust with someone who's so much like a feral street cat that Erwin almost expects him to bristle and start hissing. But he's determined to work his way to petting it sooner or later.

[cleanlines]

Levi is quickly coming to the conclusion that this man is mostly just a pretty face with pretty words and neither of those things are trustworthy. He doesn’t have any faith in Erwin’s vision, honestly, he doesn’t fully see it but then again he doesn’t care too so much either. He exhales at the question and thinks of the dank place that he’d usually lay his head.

“No, it’s all shit and filth,” everything that mattered stayed on his person at all times. There are things that are precious to him but he keeps them close, small pieces of connections that have been severed one way or another.

“We can go.”

[audentior]

To be fair, he doesn't even know about his vision so far -- Erwin has told him, in broad strokes, what he intends to do with him, but he hasn't even met the Survey Corps yet. He might change his mind, he might not, time would tell. But for now, Erwin is perfectly aware that Levi has no reason to trust him and every reason to hate him.

All in due time, hopefully.

"Very well," he says, and motions at the direction Levi should start walking in. He may not be able to escape, but that doesn't mean Erwin trusts him either, though he's better at not openly showing hostility. But it will be a while until he stops expecting to wake up with a blade at his throat. For now, he prefers to keep this feisty little thief in his sight at all times.

As they approach the stairs leading Above, there's a group of Military Police waiting for them. Erwin gently rests a hand between Levi's shoulderblades, both to put up a bit of a show and to steer him a little, and as a subtle reminder to behave while they're under outsider scrutiny.

The commanding officer shoots them both a distasteful glare, which may be surprising for someone who doesn't know that the Survey Corps is basically the redheaded stepchild of the military as a whole and Erwin is the thorn in the ass of many aristocrats already, predicted to get that much worse when Shadis finally passes the torch, which is exactly why they may or may not have been trying to assassinate him already. Had anybody reached out to Furlan or Levi with a job recently?..

The MP reaches toward Levi's collar, intending to roughly pull it down to check if the Survey Corps' Captain's story actually checks out; Erwin watches for Levi's reaction warily, ready to stop the officer's hand if he thinks Levi will react violently to getting touched like that.
