Levi x Reader |Hades And Persephone| AU Drabble

Gentle and deft fingers reach down, as she lets them intertwine with a rose she had taken particular interest in. As she unroots it from the ground, a sharp thorn presses against her finger, making an oozing red pour from it. She immediately let go of the rose at the pain, a frown tugging at her lips as she inspected the wound.

"You should be more careful, idiot." A cold and new voice said from behind her, making her let out a small gasp, as she curtly turned around. Her eyes soaked in his glorious sight, taking note of his whitened and pale skin, not even a single bit of sunlight touching it. A shadow was casted over him, as a playful smirk appeared on his lips, seeing how frightened she was. He found it amusing.

She remembers what her mother told her. 'Be careful out there, (Name). There are many people that might want to hurt you.' Her mother warned, but yet, this oddly charming man was so... refreshing, she couldn't help but let curiosity overcome her senses, as she disregarded any safety for herself.

"I-I've never seen you before... you look kind of sad. Is there something I can do to cheer you up?" The woman asked, her voice lacing with genuine kindness, making the man's supposedly stone cold hard twist with a foreign sensation. Why was she being so kind to him? Why did he suddenly... feel so drawn to her? An idea appeared in his mind, his stoic face trying to stay that way.

"Actually, there is something." He stated, watching the woman's every agile move as she walked towards him, his heart beginning to thump more aggressively with every step she took, until they were less than a few inches apart.

"How can I help you then, sir? I'd hate to see someone sad if I can help it." She told him, her (e/c) eyes shimmering. Slowly, he allowed his pale and hoarse fingertips to trail gently against her jawline, mentally memorizing every curve. The woman flinched, obviously confused at why this stranger just touched her. The man didn't seem to care, as he seemingly made a decision.

"You'll be my wife, for eternity." He told her, making the woman let out a nervous chuckle, that made his heart swell even more. Not even Christa, the Goddess of love, could make him feel like this.

"M-Me, your wife? But we just met, and I'm not much at all." She stated, her voice like a rich silk, and he wanted to hear more.

"I've been alone for a majority of my life. You're one of the only brat I have met that hasn't irritated me." He told her, and she looked at him confused at the almost offensive nickname. As soon as she realized he meant business, she turned around, feeling a bit panicked. Her heart began pounding just as much as the man's was, a combination of fear and a warm foreign sensation being the cause.

"Uh... I'd better be getting back to my mother, she's most likely worried." She hurriedly stated, but it was too late. She started to recognize who this person was, the King of the Underground, Levi. Levi summoned his chariot, and grabbed the woman towards him, his toned body pressing against her soft skin. His nose touched the crook of her neck, as he inhaled her bewitching scent of roses.

"My bride to be, what's your name?" He asked, his voice sounding almost dull and bored, but it was a cover for his growing interest. The woman stopped struggling, as he removed his face from her neck, and looked him in the eye. His steely blue hues made her heart wrench, he seemed so lonely. Maybe... just maybe, she could be his wife.

"It's (Name)." Her gentle voice wrung, and Levi cracked his whip, making his chariot move towards his kingdom.

Where she was his wife, for eternity.
