Levi X Fem!Readers: Collection of short stories and one shots

Dance AU

Erwin's POV
I clenched my fist before placing my fingers on the bridge of my nose furrowing my bushy brows. I am the manager to Levi but that should give me SOME authority. I sigh as he hits the buzzer AGAIN signaling he is done watching the performance. I know he doesn't want a partner but for this contract he NEEDS a female counterpart. I stare down at the contract before moving my attention to the page of names. I mark off the last one and sigh for what seems like the 60th time today. I wave the girls off apologizing that none of them got the roll. It was out of 237 canadates. Took 10 hours to go through them all after a group selection.
I turn to Levi with an irritated look "You need to dance with someone according to the contract"

Levi sneered "Then they hired the wrong man, I dance alone. Women are too much, they break form and cause drama"

"Then we'll get a man" I suggest

"No, I lead and most men will try to" Levi retorted

I clench my jaw pierce my lips "then we just have to keep looking"

"Or say screw the contact" Levi hisses

"Then say goodbye to the studio" I say with venom

He leans back in his chair. We hear a sudden thump on the door followed by Hanji bursting in.

"How'd auditions go!?" She yelled in excitement

"Ask the picky one" I roll my eyes

"Levi we need this contract!" Hanji pleaded

"Shut up shitty glasses, you weren't here" Levi growled

I look past Hanji to see a girl. I raise an eyebrow, "Who's this?"

Hanji gave a guilty laugh rubbing the back of her neck "Family friend, she's in a rough spot so she is staying with me. I couldn't leave her at the apartment cause my land lord is kinda a jerk"

She nodded and smiled sheepishly "I'm Y/N"

Readers POV

The blonde man smiled, "Pleasure to meet you, I'm Erwin Smith"

I turn to the Raven haired man but he glared at me. I felt the hairs on my neck raise and a chill run down my spine. His eyebrow twitched as he tapped his hand 3 times on the table.

"Stage. Now" he commanded

I try to wave no but his glare only hardened and I obeyed. Hanji and Erwin looked at me confused and all I could do is shrug.

"Levi, Y/N can't dance" Hanji laughed

Levi got up from his seat and came on stage roughly grabbing my hand, you could hear the skin slap and echo through the room. I'm tugged into his direction and he presses my back to his chest while his hands hold mine. He moved them over my body and forced me to move my legs and hips.

After a minute he sighs and mutters in my ear "Practice starts tomorrow, no routine work just basics and flexibility. Come at 7. Do Not, be late. Understand?"

I gulp trying to sooth my dry throat before nodding. He lets go of my hands and leaves stage to a side room. I feel my legs give out as I go on my knees finally letting out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Hanji stared wide eyed before helping me up.
"Did he just...you...he...huh." Hanji tried to scrape a sentence together

Erwin clapped and nodded "At least he finally chose a partner, an unexpected one with no experience but a partner"

I look confused as ever. What just happened? Am I part of a dance crew now?

Hanji finally explained the needs for a partner for a duet and Levi hating partners. I'm his first one. He's lead groups. But never danced a duet. This contract would save the dance studio. She begged me to comply and stay. Finally I said yes.

The next morning I walk into the studio. For dance I just got a old tee, some yoga pants, and my tennis shoes. I figure this should do. I see Levi and smile friendly. He glares, motioning me to follow him. We are in a practice room with mirrors at every angle it feels like. His eyes fix on me. He narrows his eyes and sighs
"shoes off, next time I want you in shorts and you had better be in a sports bra"
I awkwardly remove my shoes and socks and go up to him.
The first thing on the adenda was stretching. I'm not the most flexible but I tried, compared to a man who could nearly do the splits. After a few I jump as a cold hand grabs my leg. My eyes meet steely blue ones
"Relax, I'm helping" he said raising my leg then gently pushing it to it's limit. He did the same to the other. After many stretches came the dancing.

He showed me hand movements and keeping the body moving.
After about an hour I had to have a break. I could feel myself sweating and my body almost vibrating from exhaustion. Erwin comes in with some water like a literal angel. I could hear the choir singing praise in the back of my mind. I quickly take one and down it. Levi clicks his tongue and drinks the other one. Nodding in thanks to Erwin.

"I hope you've been practicing hard. Interpretative dance can be difficult" Erwin smiled.

"So that's what we are gonna be doing? I don't know the first thing" I admit quietly.

"Have you ever danced before?" Erwin raises an eyebrow

"I can do the walk like an Egyptian...or the chacha slide," I perk up slightly. He just chuckled at my comment while Levi scoffed.

"You know Levi, many of those in the audition were highly talented individuals" Erwin started, "yet you choose a novice, why is that?"

I haven't really thought about that. He chose me over professionals but why? What do I have to offer?

"Easy, a novice is fresh. I can train her to move accordingly. She is also the perfect size for what I want to do" he responded after a long sip, "Anyway we are done here for today. Meet back tomorrow at 8pm." I nodded swiftly gathering my stuff.

3 months passed by and the performance was over. The contract with it. You couldn't say you formed any connection with Levi. He was all business, but you couldn't help but feel like you were going to miss him. This could be your last time in the studio.

I packed up my bag in the practice room. I look up at myself in the mirror to jump and see I'm not alone. Levi approached from the sideline. I opened my mouth to speak but he grabbed my hand gently pulling me in front of him facing away from him. His other hand caressed down my shoulder too the other hand and lifted them in sync.
He moved gently yet forcefully leading me in another dance. He released my left hand and going me out on my right to move out. His hand twirled above me and released, regrabbing my hand as I stopped. He tugged me spinning inward wrapping myself in his arm. His other hand held me in place by the hip pressing my back against his chest. I felt the 3 subtile taps on my hip.

I could feel his lips graze my neck gently making me twitch.

"I don't want this to be our final dance...please...dance with me forever? Will you be my partner?" Levi kissed my neck gently affirming partner didn't just mean dance partner.

I melt against him blushing deeply

I felt him squeeze my hand 3 times "I love you. I can't say it enough" he held me close burying his face in the crook of me neck.

My eyes widen thinking of the taps. They started when we met on the table, When we met. Every time we danced it was 3 taps, or squeezes. Maybe we did form a connection and I just never saw it till now.
