The Eren and Levi Project

Please? (Magic)

Dedicated to lifeofanimee for following me on Instagram and for being plain amazing!

"I've never won at anything in my life. Give me a magic potion or whatever that'll help Eren fall in love with me so I can just win this one time, please." AU

Levi never really was good with people. He had a small group of friends, and hated everyone else. Which is why he was confused about this crush he had acquired.

The boy's name is Eren Jaeger. A second year wizard in training, tends to walk around with a blonde coconut who had already graduated from the academy due to his exceptional magic skills.

Eren is a winner. He won the magic tournament for his grade last year and is the head of his spell casting class.

Levi on the other hand, isn't. His magic skills are clumsy and he doesn't give a shit about his grades. The only thing he's good at is boxing, which only non-wizards do.

Levi wasn't born a wizard. He was born a regular human, to a regular old family. Until his parents died in a fire and he was sent to live with his crazy uncle Kenny. Kenny liked to do experiments, and once Levi got there, he became the test subject. One day, the tests actually did something right.

"Uncle Kenny! It hurts!" 6 year old Levi cried, clutching his head. Kenny was dumbfounded. He hadn't experimented with Levi in months, what was this all of a sudden?

"Levi come here. I have to take some tests." Kenny said and led the smaller boy into his lab.

After taking some blood and running a few tests, Kenny realized what was bothering Levi.

He now had a new protein in his blood. The protein that only wizards have.

"What's wrong with me Uncle Kenny?" Levi asked sitting on one of his uncle's stools.

Kenny walked over to the small boy and ruffles his shaggy hair. "Well kid, your blood has changed. Which is why you're hurting. The new blood is pushing out the old blood and replacing it."

Levi nods. "Okay."

His Uncle had taught him how to use his magic, but learning from a non wizard was hard. Which is why Levi isn't that great with his magic.

"Levi! C'mon we have to get to spell class!" His friend, Erwin, says. He and Erwin aren't that good at spells, so they're in the second year class, with Eren.

"Yeah yeah, coming"

The two make their way into Professor Pixis' room and sit down. The rest of the class quickly follows -although Professor Pixis hasn't come in yet.

"Where do you think Pixis is?" Levi says to Erwin, when he gets sick of waiting. Erwin shrugs and continues to read his book.

After another 5 minutes of waiting, Levi gets up and walks to the door, just as Pixis walks in.

"Going somewhere Mr. Ackerman?" Pixis asks, obviously in a bad mood.

"Yeah, out of this hole."

"Watch that attitude student."

"Watch that booze, professor."

The whole class is silent as they watch the exchange between the men. Pixis stared at Levi for a moment, evaluating the situation.

"Well, Mr. Ackerman, since you're already standing up, I would like for you to perform a simple Illusion spell for the class. Perhaps the "Icy Hand?" Pixis requests smugly, knowing fully well that Illusion Spells are what frustrates Levi the most.

Levi growls under his breath at the mention of the spell. Fuck, how do I get out of this? He stands before the class strongly, though is hands are shaking.
He holds out his left and and concentrates all his negative energy into it.

"Cold as the coldest river, as freezing as the deepest tunnel Let my fingers feel as ice, let all I touch feel my cold. So mote be it." He chants and reaches towards a random classmate. He has his eyes closed, so he rests his hand on the shoulder.

After a moment, he hears the class break out in hysterics. Levi opens his eyes long enough to see a fist coming at his face. Levi grabs it and twists forcing the boy to his knees. The boy is in fact Jean Kirstein, the biggest dick to ever live.

"The fuck Ackerman! Why would you freeze my goddamn shirt!"

Levi's eyes widen when he realizes that the shoulder of Jeans dark green shirt, does in fact, have a layer of ice covering it.

"Well done Levi. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone use Icy Hand to produce ice on an outside surface." Pixis says. "Now let the horse go and get back to your seat."

Levi releases him and is morbidly amused at the frostbite development on Jeans fingers, where Levi's hand had been.

He heads back to his seat and looks over at Erwin, who is staring at Levi in amazement.

"You actually did the spell? How is that possible?" Erwin whispers to him while Pixis lectures on about Health Spells. As far as he knew, Levi couldn't even produce a simple hex, let alone a level five illusion.

But Levi just continues to ignore the blonde boy, opting to stare at the back of Eren's head. He has a plan.

After class, Levi goes to see Hanji. He knows that she has a free casting period, so he visits her in the lab.

"What brings you to these parts, my short nonwizard friend?" Hanji asks as soon as she hears Levi wall in the room.

"I need your help Hanji. I was finally able to cast a level five spell, so I need you to make me a love potion."

Hanji's shocked with Levi's request. Love potions are forbidden on campus. If they make one and someone finds out, they'll be expelled.

"Sorry. No can do Levi." She says, continuing to work on her Titan Poison Potion.

Everything is quiet for a few minutes, save for the clinking of Hanji's bottles against the counter.

"Hanji- I... Please. I really like Eren."

One look at Levi's helpless face and Hanji's hooked. She smirks at him, "Well I guess I have to help you."
