Down Bad| Levi x GN!Reader

Warning: Face grabbing, name calling (let me know if I missed anything)

Word Count: 0.8k

Summary: Leviathan's true personality is the most attractive thing about him.

A/N: I'm surprise I'm pushing something out again. Wrote this while slightly high off pain meds, soooo any spelling errors you see, no you don't.

Levi is so pathetic and you don't mean that in a derogatory way or as an insult. It's one of the most charming things about him being honest. His feelings are always present on display no matter how hard he tries to hide it and it makes you want to gobble him whole. 

Levi was sitting next to you in class, one of the rare times he shows up in person. He was showing you a new rhythm game he discovered and was secretly trying to to show off to you with his perfect score. The way his little snake tongue peaked out from his lips he focused on the climax of the song. 

You sat next to him twirling a pencil as you watched in actual awe of his skill. You asked him how he got so good at rhythm games because you could only hope to reach his level of expertise in the game. Maybe it was the compliment and the direct eye contact from you as you said that that made his brain short circuit and temporarily shut down. 

He clicked on his home screen to go to his section holding his games. In his moment of low brain activity, as he rambled that it was all a yucky otaku activity and you probably wouldn't like it with how cool you are, he mindlessly swiped his screen right. 

The two of you watched as his background went from a Ruri-chan picture to a full screen collage of you. It was full of pictures that you've sent him, all with cute little frames around. Little green hearts littered about the background with sparkles brightening it up. In the center of the collage was the photo you sent him yesterday of you squishing his cheeks and both of you staring at each other. The photo was surrounded by two cartoon snake tails that formed a heart.  You didn't miss your initial and his in the bottom left corner. 

Turning your head slowly to Levi, he was so ghostly pale that you were sure he died. His finger instantly swiped back to the first page that had the Ruri background. You open your mouth to say something, unsure what, but something to acknowledge the giant elephant in the room. 

Levi beat you to speaking. “I swear I didn't make this. Mammon must have played a prank on me by putting this as my background,” he exclaimed as he wildly swung his phone around. You actually were worried it was going to fly out of his hand and hit one of the startled demons sitting around you. 

“Levi.”

Once again, Levi doesn't let you speak as his personality does a whole 180. He starts to ramble about how he's a degenerate, such a low life creep that does not deserve to be in your presence. A disgusting being is what he labels himself. 

You get tired of his self deprecating rambling after 10 seconds. Reaching out towards him, you quickly grab his face and turn it towards you. You lean in and place a small pack on his lip knowing it will shut him up, which it does quite well. 

“Can I make one of you, so we can have a matching background?” You asked softly while staring into his amber eyes. His typical slit pupils have enlarged to circles as he stares at you with this puppy-like expression. 

He hums as a response letting you know that he processed none of what you said in his frozen brain. You repeat it slowly while rubbing his cheek. You don't get a verbal reply as all he manages to do is nod very slowly while staring at you. 

You give him a smile before letting go of his face. Leaning away from him, you could see his brains slowly turn back on. The glazed eyes got exchanged for more focused eyes letting you know he was done short circuiting. However, the rising blush coming from underneath his collar all the way up to his hairline let you know everything was settling into his mind. 

“You kissed me?” You couldn't help that smile that came into your face as such a cute question coming from him with a blushing innocent expression on his face. His hand gripped the edges of his phone as he used it as a way to ground himself. 

“Yes, and I will do it again. Now weren't you showing me how you're so good,” you whispered while putting his thigh. His body went tense under your fingers. His eyes widened as his pupils narrowed into slits again. His eyes flickered between your face and your hand currently on him. 

Seeing Levi be so flustered made you want to see more, feeling the greed bubble underneath the surface. Levi may have been pathetic, but you were even worse for him. 

“Excuse me, class is still in session, you two!”

💙 Levi x !Pregnant Reader

Late Arrival

Thanks @roseofdarknessblog for the suggestion! I want to make a Dadvi series now. Hope you all enjoy!

You look out the window and gloomily stare around at the empty training field.

The Survey Corp had set out on an emergency mission to patch up a wall within Wall Maria. Levi was forced to go as well, leaving you, his pregnant wife, behind for a week.

You weren’t left completely alone though. Hanji ordered Moblit to stay behind as well to watch over you. Your baby isn’t due for another two weeks, so Moblit was here to help you get around as your giant belly made it difficult.

Heavens help him if you were to go into labor because this man wouldn’t know what to do.

“Are you ok, Y/N?” Moblit asks, snapping you out of your thoughts.

“They’re half a week late.” You remind him anxiously as you sit on your bed.

He gives you a sympathetic smile. “And I doubt they will be any later. Especially with Levi wanting to be here with you. I bet they’ll be here when you wake up in the morning.”

You laugh softly as you took notice of how your nervous friend was trying to tip-toe around your pregnancy hormones. “Thanks, Moblit. You’ve been nothing but helpful for me. I guess I’ll go to bed now. I’m really tired.”

He nods and walks back out to Levi’s office. He’s been sleeping on Levi’s couch so he can be close by if you need anything. Levi’s orders.

Throughout the night, you could only toss and turn as it seems your baby wants to roll around and kick you every minute. Groaning in annoyance, you sit up and rub your stomach.

“Can you calm down for me please?” You beg.

Your baby replies with another hard kick, so you shake your head in defeat as you stand up to grab a book to read. Except when you stand up, a sharp cramp ripples in your stomach and a heavy flow of liquid falls from under your dress.

You stand in shock as you pray that it’s not what you think it is, until another sharp cramp makes you sit back down onto the bed and hold your stomach in pain.

“Moblit!!” You scream for your friend and you cry in pain.

A few moments go by and the door swings open. “What’s wrong?!” Moblit asks while trying to rub sleep from his eyes.

“I’m-I’m in labor!”

“Oh shit!” He runs up to you. “What do we do?!”

You hold your stomach and cry. “I don’t know! But I think they’re coming out!”

“Ok ok! Um… let’s lay you down!?” Moblit helps you swing your legs back onto the bed and props you up with another pillow.

You instinctively bend your legs up as you feel the baby push down.

“Wait wait! I’m not ready for you to push!” Moblit says in desperation.

“I am!!” You scream and lean forward as you push.

Moblit gives his own little yell of panic and goes to the foot of the bed. “I’m sorry but I have to look!” He tells you as he lifts up your sleep dress. He nearly faints as he sees the head of the baby start to crown out.

“Is the baby coming out?!” You ask breathlessly.

“Y-yes! Just keep pushing! And remember to breathe please!” He orders.

You nod and keep pushing.

After what seems like another thirty minutes of pushing and nervous encouragement from Moblit, you feel all the pain and pressure release from you.

A piercing cry fills the room and you lay back on the pillows to try and control your breathing. You feel a light weight on your chest and you look down to see a reddish dirty baby moving their arms and legs around while crying.

“You have a daughter.” Moblit announces while trying not to cry.

Suddenly reality hits as you look down and hug the baby closer to you…your baby. You cry as you gently rock her, trying to calm her down.

A snipping sound hits your ears and you look down to see Moblit cutting the umbilical cord.

“I’m not sure if I cut the right spot, I just know I have to cut it.” He says.

You smile at him. “Thank you for everything, Moblit.”

——

A few more days pass and you are sitting in bed reading, looking over every once in a while to make sure your baby girl was sleeping ok.

Suddenly the bedroom door opens and you look up expecting to see Moblit, but instead see Levi.

You both look at each other with wide eyes and he hurries over to you, pulling you forward into a tight hug.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I wasn’t here.” He whispers in your ear.

You pull away and look at his face, tears threaten to leave his eyes.

“It’s ok, Levi. I’m just glad you’re back.” You smile shyly at him and grab his face . “We have a daughter now. Go see her.”

Levi looks back at you with furrowed brows. “I’m…I’m scared.”

A small cooing came from the basinet and you giggle. “But I think she wants to meet you.”

You watch as Levi walks over to the basinet and peers inside. A tiny baby girl who mirrors his own looks stares back at him with wide, grey eyes as she chews on her hand.

“Crazy how the mother carries the child, but they always come out looking like father.” You joke, trying to lighten the tension.

Levi gives a small smile as he touches his daughter’s smooth hair. It’s so black that light itself may have trouble penetrating it.

He carefully picks up the baby girl and lifts her closer to his face. She coos and reaches out to grab his nose. You watch from the bed and quickly wipe the tears flowing from your eyes as you take in the sight of the love of your life holding your child.

“I’m so sorry, my baby. I should have been here.” He says while kissing her cheek.

“Levi, we still need to name her.”

Levi looks at his baby for a moment before turning to you . “Isabel.”

Imagine… Making Lemonade for Levi on a Hot Summer Day

Fluff

Postwar!Levi Ackerman x gn!reader

Warnings: none

The summer heat was scorching down on you as you stretched out on a lounge chair in your backyard, soaking up some sun. You were enjoying your lazy day, getting some much needed Vitamin D. You flipped through a magazine, your mind still blown by the fact that the glossy pages had entertained people for much longer than you had even known they existed. There were many things in Marley that were completely new to you and every trip to the market was filled with enchantment as you learned of all the wonders that had been held from you in your previous life in Paradis. Now, you and your boyfriend Levi were living it up together in your cottage and you couldn’t be happier. Speaking of Levi, you had a fantastic view of the raven haired man while he was hard at work, tending the garden. His white shirt was clinging to his sturdy back as he dug the spade into the dirt, his arm muscles flexing with each movement. When he was finished planting, you saw him lean back a little as he wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead. The extra moisture made his whole body glisten; he looked absolutely divine and you couldn’t tear your gaze away from him. He cocked his head, finally acknowledging your unbridled interest in his figure.

“Didn’t your parents teach you that it’s rude to stare?”

“There’s no harm in admiring the spectacular view in front of me,” you said, cheekiness apparent in your tone. Levi scoffed and rolled his eyes, getting back to the task at hand, but you could tell that you flustered him a bit with your flirting as the pink tinge that now graced his face wasn’t just from the heat. You tried putting your focus back on your magazine but you started to feel quite parched. You decided to go inside and make some lemonade for yourself and your handsome boyfriend. You gathered everything you needed and began to squeeze the lemons. When you got enough juice, you made a simple syrup on the stove, then poured both of those and lots of water into a giant pitcher, mixing it all up. Taking out two tall glasses, you filled them up to the brim with ice and the lemonade, enjoying the relief of the cold that seeped onto your hand. You left your glass inside so you had an empty hand to open and close the back door and headed into the warmth of the outdoors.

“I got something to cool you down, hottie,” you greeted Levi, this time earning a groan and an eye roll.

“You’re ridiculous, you know that?” he chided, shaking his head when you attempted to wink at him. Though he found your antics silly, he also thought you were completely adorable with the way you showed your affection toward him. Putting words to his feelings was never his forte so having a partner like you, comfortable in expressing your attraction to him, was something he was extremely grateful for. You reached out your unoccupied arm to help steady Levi as he stood up from the ground, his legs shaky from exertion. You held up the glass of lemonade for him to take a sip from, hoping he wasn’t dehydrated from his time under the sun. He put his lips around the straw and took a long drink, eager to quench his thirst.

“Y/n, that’s really good. Thank you,” he said, giving you a close lipped grin.

“Of course,” you replied, brushing a stray piece of hair from his face. He suddenly got shy from the intimacy of your gesture, opting to study the ground instead of your face, though he still leaned on you as you helped him walk over to the patio where a chair in the shade was waiting for him. You sat him down and retrieved your own drink from inside the house before sitting in the chair next to him.

“Thank you for all your work,” you told Levi, a kiss lovingly placed onto his cheek. “The garden is beautiful. The flowers are going to look phenomenal this year.”

“Not as phenomenal as you look now,” he observed, meeting your eyes once more as you gasped.

“Levi! How uncharacteristically suave that was!” you exclaimed, playfully holding a hand over your mouth in faux shock.

“Tch. I can be romantic, you know.”

“Wow, I can’t believe I got the Levi “Loverboy” Ackerman to fall for me. How lucky am I?” you asked, swooning. “Ooh, maybe next time you can garden shirtless and give me a real show. It’ll be like those romance novels Hange always told me about.”

“Just drink your damn lemonade,” muttered the man, failing to hide the tenderness that appeared on his facial features at the sound of your laughter. You couldn’t contain your giggles, trying your best not to choke on your drink and Levi wrapped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer and enjoying this carefree moment with you. The lemonade was the perfect drink for the perfect day with the perfect love of your life.

Make. Believe. ❖ Act 3

Actor!Levi x Fem!Reader

The AoT Premiere approaches, but all Levi can think about is you.

Warnings/Content: NSFW, Minors do not interact, fingering, unprotected vaginal sex, creampie, infidelity (Reader has a boyfriend as first), mentions of AoT final season episodes

A/N: There will be a final drabble that highlights more of the AoT episode premiere event; I wanted this part to focus more on our two main characters, but I've been having so much fun with the extra details in the drabbles. I hope you've enjoyed my take on AoT Actor AU!!

Act 1 | Act 2

Levi can’t keep track of what country he’s in, what time zone or even what day it is.

But he knows it’s been 186 days since he’s seen you.

Japan had been a whirlwind of promotions for the last two parts of the Attack on Titan final season, with meet-and-greets, commercial shoots, and talk show appearances. Europe had been much the same, and although it was exhausting, it was also fulfilling, being back with the cast, traveling with his old friends. He was sad to see it end, but he was also excited about other projects that were coming up. And next month, he’ll be going to the Cannes Film Festival, where the movie you and he shot together will finally premiere. After eight months, he’ll see you again.

But before that, he’s returned to Japan for the premiere of the final two episodes of Attack on Titan. Jet lag is still hitting him hard, and he sighs when he looks over at the clock and sees that it’s only two o’clock in the morning. Another sigh escapes his lips when he looks over at the naked body beside him in the bed. He can barely remember her name - was it Jessica? Jessie? All he really knows is that she was sitting next to him in the bar of the Tokyo Grand Hotel and that she looked as lonely as he was. He feels guilty - he’s never been one for one night stands - but he was yearning to feel your body again; and if he couldn’t have you, then this was good enough.

These days, your face is everywhere. You’d recently contracted with Christian Dior and were now the model for Miss Dior cologne. As Levi had arrived at Haneda airport, there was a giant poster of you tangled up in silk sheets with your hair cascading down one bare shoulder. “What Would You Do For Love?” the poster asked.

When he walked in a posh area of Shibuya, there was another advertisement of you; this time you’re lying across a sofa in a black silk dress, the pink bottle of cologne pressed against your chest. Your eyes are half-lidded and sultry - the same kind of look you’d give him when you’d make love, all those months ago.

He reaches over and grabs his phone, the light from the screen illuminating his face in the darkness as he scrolls mindlessly through Instagram. He stops when he sees that you’ve posted a picture.

“Just finished filming season one! Now for a much needed break.”

You’re surrounded by your other cast members, all of you smiling. A man has his arm around you and Levi squints to look closer at the picture. He wonders if he’s just a friend, or if it’s something more, then he laughs at himself.

What is he doing? Why can’t he forget you?

He’s the one that made this choice, and he’s the one that pushed you away. You’re smart, ambitious, and beautiful - of course you’d find someone else to be with. But he can't help but wonder what it’ll be like to see you in person again, and with you on his mind, he eventually falls asleep.

Hours later, Levi’s phone is buzzing and chiming erratically and it jolts him awake. He turns off the alarm, then checks the time. “Shit, I gotta get up.”

He’d promised Erwin that they’d do a run this morning around the Imperial Palace Gardens. As he gets out of bed and grabs a t-shirt, an arm from the woman next to him reaches over.

“Hey,” she says softly.

“Hey.” Awkwardness and regret drip from his voice. “This was fun but you’ve gotta go - I mean I - I’ve gotta go. I have somewhere to be.”

“Ok…let me just go clean up a bit,” she replies as she picks her clothes up off the floor and makes her way to the bathroom.

Putting on his running clothes, Levi shakes his head. They’re two consenting adults, but he can’t help but feel embarrassed about it all. He hates these kinds of awkward moments, especially when he knows he has no feelings for the woman.

He grabs his phone from the nightstand and notices there’s an unread message. When he unlocks his phone, he sees that it’s from you and his heart starts to beat fast.

“Hi. Have fun at the premiere tonight.”

That was it, but Levi reads it a few times. He types out a simple, “Thanks,” not wanting to be rude, but also not wanting to seem too eager.

He puts the phone down but after a few seconds, picks it back up again and types another message.

“How are you?”

He doesn’t realize that he’s grinning from ear to ear.

“Got some good news?” The woman is out of the bathroom and dressed.

Levi looks up from the screen then puts the phone down quickly. “Yeah. Maybe.” He walks over to her and kisses her tentatively on the cheek. “I’ll text you later.”

“You don’t have my number.” She’s seen right through his lie.

“Look I’m sorry, it’s just that I -“

“It’s fine, I wasn’t expecting more out of this anyway.” Before she opens the door to leave, she stops to look at him. “You’re a good man, Levi. I hope you find someone who makes you happy.”

—-

Erwin stands at the entrance of the Imperial Palace East Gardens, looking at his watch. “You’re late.”

“I know, I know, I got held up. Sorry about that.”

“Still jet lagged?”

“A bit,” Levi answers as he messes with his smart watch. “You?”

“Not really. Cold showers in the morning really help me to adjust.”

Levi laughs. “Of course. I forgot you did that.”

“Every morning. Let’s go.” Erwin and Levi start jogging down the path that leads through the East Gardens. It’s early spring and the cherry blossoms are at their peak in Tokyo, pink petals falling down around them.

When Erwin and Levi were on set for Attack on Titan, they would jog together every morning. It was something that Levi had always done alone, but found having a running partner comforting, even if they barely talked to each other. Erwin had a perpetual aura of calm around him, which was difficult to find amongst other actors. Levi hadn’t seen much of him since his character died, and both had been busy doing other projects; these past weeks doing promos for AoT made him feel like it was old times.

They finish an hour later back where they started, sunglasses on with the hope that no one will recognize them. “You ready for tonight?” Erwin asks as he walks up to a vending machine to buy a bottle of water.

“Yes and no. It’s bittersweet, to see something you worked on for so long finally end. But I’m proud of the work we’ve done on it, and I’m excited to see how the final episodes turned out.”

“Me too. It was good to be on set with you again, even for just a short moment.”

“Yeah, those were not fake tears coming down my face, let me tell you,” Levi admitted with a laugh.

As both men walked through the park, Levi reached into his pocket to check his phone and sure enough, there was another text from you:

“I’m doing good. :-)”

It elicits a smile from Levi and Erwin laughs. “What?” Levi asks defensively.

“Oh nothing,” Erwin replies, “that’s just an awful big smile. Must be someone special.”

“Someone I was trying to forget, actually.”

“And why would you do that?”

“Because I’m an idiot and I thought it’d be better that way for her.”

“Ah, I see.” Erwin sits down on a bench under a sweeping sakura tree and Levi follows. “Levi, in all the years I’ve known you, you’ve always put others ahead of yourself. It’s one of the things I admire most about you. But sometimes, you should be a little selfish.” He puts a hand on Levi’s shoulder. “And it’s ok to go after the things that you want. When you do that, life finds a way of working itself out.”

Levi smiles. Even off-screen, Erwin had a way of saying the wisest thing, right when he needed it most. “Yeah. Maybe you’re right.”

“‘Course I’m right,” Erwin grins. “And as your commander, my final order is for you to go after this woman with your whole heart.”

They both laugh and talk as they make their way out of the park and to the busy streets of Tokyo. When Levi returns to his hotel and enters the elevator, he feels his phone buzz. It’s another message from you, and Levi’s eyes go wide when he reads it:

“I’m in Tokyo to attend the AoT premiere. I hope you don’t mind.”

——

Iceland was cold. And lonely.

The last six months shooting the series had been an incredible experience. The cast was a mix of seasoned actors and newbies just starting out, and with a young, emerging director looking to prove himself, you knew that you were a part of something great. The days were long and sometimes exhausting, and often ended up with you collapsed on your bed looking over lines into the wee hours of the morning. For the most part, you were happy.

But god, you missed Levi.

That last night you saw him, you couldn’t understand why he thought it would be better for you two to be apart, but you pretended to be ok with it. And it had taken everything in you not to knock on his door the next morning when you were leaving. You’d seen the jealousy on his face that night - you knew he still cared for you. But your pride had you walk away without so much as a goodbye. It’s what he wanted, right?

So you tried to move on and forget him. You’d even started dating someone on set; a feeble attempt to prove to yourself (and to Levi, in a way) that you could be a working actor and keep up a relationship. He was nice enough and the sex was good, but it just wasn’t the same. Something was missing.

You knew Levi hated social media and never updated his Instagram account, so you started following his AoT co-stars, hoping to get just a glimpse of him. Every once in a while, a video would come out on YouTube of him in an interview with other cast members, and you’d smile at how awkward he was at being himself in front of a camera.

When the date of the AoT premiere was announced, you immediately contacted your agent to get you on the guest list. You’d loved Attack on Titan for years - you had to be there. And to be honest, you wanted to see that dark-haired, brooding man again, even if from a distance.

Filming was wrapped for the next several months, to give you all some much needed rest, but you only had one day at home before you were back on a plane and headed to Japan. As you arrived at your hotel in the darkness of the early morning, you got your phone out of your bag. Somewhere, in this sprawling city, Levi was sleeping. You wonder, does he ever dream of you?

You find his name in your contacts and send him a quick text. He probably won’t respond, you think to yourself.

When you wake up late that morning and see that he has, your heart skips a beat.

You can’t help but smile as you send him a reply. Then another. You fall asleep for an hour or so and when you wake up, he’s answered you:

“Of course not. I hope I’ll see you there.”

——

The area around the Toho Cinema Roppongi Hills is starting to fill with people as the time for the Attack on Titan, Final Parts 1 and 2 premiere approaches. A red carpet has been rolled out and barriers put up; press and media have started to set up in their usual places, in preparation for pictures and interviews with the cast. Premieres are a huge event, and something that Levi has been involved in more times than he can count, but this one - the final AoT episodes - makes him feel emotional.

Now that he knows you’ll be here, he’s glad he didn’t bring a date - not that he was looking for one. He, Erwin, and Hange had decided to be each other’s dates months ago and frankly, he wouldn’t have it any other way. The three of them ride in a limo to the cinema, along with their publicists and agents. All of them are silent, feeling the weight of this moment, until Hange breaks the silence as they pull up to the entrance.

“Ok, boys…the last ride of the three amigos..”

The three get out of the car and the cameras instantly start flashing. Hange gets between both Levi and Erwin and takes either arm in theirs, walking the red carpet and taking pictures before they separate for individual photos and interviews.

Levi usually likes picking his own clothes out for premiers, but he let a stylist do it this time. He walks down the red carpet in black pants and jacket, with a black mesh collared shirt underneath, which gives just the faintest view of his toned chest. Silver rings adorn his fingers, and he’s slicked back his hair, which he’s been growing out the past few months, just for fun. Photographers are yelling at him from every direction, asking him to look their way, or to take a picture with Hange, Zeke, or Erwin. All around him are the smiling faces of people he’s known for over 10 years, and soon, other celebrities and guests attending the event follow behind them. He looks through the crowd and sees you having your picture taken. You catch his eye and smile; he tries to make his way toward you but he’s whisked away by his publicist.

There are seats reserved in the front of the theater for the cast, with guests sitting in the rows behind them. He takes out his phone and texts you almost immediately upon sitting:

“Come to the after party? It’d be good to catch up.”

He sends you the address and a few moments later, receives your reply:

“I’ll see you there. :-)”

As he puts his phone in the breast pocket of his jacket, Hange reaches for his hand. “Are you ready for this?”

“As ready as I’ll ever be,” he replies with a sigh, squeezing their hand tightly.

The lights lower and the screen lights up to cheers from the crowd.

—-

Watching the final episodes was emotional, to say the least, but the mood at the after party is joyful and energetic. Everyone is drinking, eating, laughing, and reminiscing. Levi is sitting at a table with Petra, Ulou, and Eld when Zeke runs up.

“Levi, Levi, Levi, I just heard the greatest idea!” He forces his way between him and Petra. “Cast tattoos!”

“What?” Levi laughs.

“Yeah! Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and the others are doing it - we gotta do it too. They’re leaving soon, so let’s go!”

“No, no, there’s no we in this,” Levi protests as he resists Zeke pulling him away from the table. “Besides, I’m waiting for someone.”

“Oh?” That stops Zeke immediately. “And who would that be?”

You thank your driver in your limited Japanese as you leave the car and enter the stylish restaurant. Walking through the crowded space, you see Eren and Mikasa laughing and drinking with a group of other young actors. As a fan of the show since its beginning, you are feeling like a total fangirl as there are cast members from every season around you. But as you walk around the room looking for Levi, you suddenly get nervous, thinking that maybe this was a bad idea; you’re not even sure what you’re expecting from this night.

Just as you think about leaving, you see him sitting at a table with the Levi Squad cast and Zeke, who has an arm around him. He looks up, sees you, and smiles, throwing Zeke’s arm off of him.

As he walks towards you, you admire how good he looks. He’s so sexy, you can feel yourself blushing.

“Glad you could make it” he says, pulling you in to kiss you on the cheek. His lips are soft, just like you remember them.

“I wouldn’t miss it. Attack on Titan has been my favorite series since forever. To be honest, I am so excited to be surrounded by the cast.”

“Come on, I’ll introduce you to some of them.” He places his hand on the small of your back as he leads you through the crowd. Your hunter green silk dress swoops down low in the back, so when his hand touches your bare skin it gives you goosebumps.

He takes you from group to group, introducing you to people you’ve only known through a screen. You laugh with Jean and Connie as they talk about the practical jokes they used to pull on Levi off-set; you sing Red Swan (your favorite opening song) with Armin and Sasha, Levi refusing to join in no matter how hard you all try; you take shots with Hange and gush about how much you loved their character.

Levi watches you and can’t stop smiling. He’d forgotten how good it feels to be around you, to talk and flirt with you. Your hand grazes his and when he weaves his fingers through yours, you don’t resist. Your eyes shine as you look at him; you don’t have to say a word but he knows you’re feeling it too.

The two of you eventually make it over to Erwin and you blush when Levi brags about the film you made together and your acting skills.

“No, no,” you interject, “Levi is the real talent. His acting on set was some of the best I’ve ever seen.”

Erwin smiles. “I’m sure you both complement each other well and that the movie will be spectacular. I’m looking forward to seeing it.” He gives Levi a knowing smile and lifts up his champagne glass.

“Levi! My buddy!” Zeke comes crashing through the group, clearly inebriated. “And who is this? It’s Miss Dior herself.”

“Oh you’ve seen those?” The way he says it brings a blush to your cheeks.

“Of course I have. You look absolutely mesmerizing in those ads,” he moves closer to you, “just like you do tonight.”

Zeke leans on a nearby table and gives a playful smirk. “How long are you staying in Tokyo? I could show you around, if you’d like.”

“She doesn’t need you showing her around anywhere.” Levi’s voice is forceful for the first time that night. You put a reassuring hand on his arm - you have to admit, you like seeing him a little jealous.

“Thanks for the offer, Zeke, but I already have extensive plans in Tokyo.” You give Levi a smile that lets him know that ‘he’ is the plan.

Erwin comes to the rescue of both of you. “Zeke, what’s this I hear about tattoos? Are we doing this tonight?” He puts an arm around Zeke and leads him away, giving you both a wink.

The restaurant is large and sprawling, built in the old Japanese style, but is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. There’s a garden in the center with the main area and smaller, more private rooms surrounding it. Wanting to escape the noise and commotion, you lead Levi outside, “It’s a bit quieter out here.”

“And more beautiful,” Levi replies, as you walk across a small bridge crossing a koi pond.

“It really is beautiful out here. I’ve always loved Japanese gardens.”

“I wasn’t talking about the garden.” He moves closer to you as you lean against the banister of the bridge. “You look stunning.”

“You know why I chose hunter green, don’t you?” He shakes his head. “Because it’s Levi’s color.”

“Oh really?” He is in front of you now, his hand grazing your arm ever so slightly as he looks you up and down.

“Mmmhmm, he’s always been my favorite character.”

“Nice to know I have a fan.”

“I’m just one of many.”

“But you’re the only one that matters.”

That makes you giggle. “So flirty. Is that how you get the ladies these days?”

“I don’t want anyone else. I just want you.” He looks at you with his piercing eyes. “It’s always been you.”

His words are like music to your ears, but you’re determined to stand firm. You can’t let him off so easily. “That didn’t seem to be the case six months ago.”

“Because I thought it was for the best, but I was wrong. So wrong. And I’ve regretted it every day since.”

His hand moves around your waist and he pulls you close. The lights of the garden shine in his dark grey eyes as his lips softly press against yours. You can’t help but return the kiss, your mouth opening slightly, inviting his tongue inside. When he moves away slightly, you realize you’d been holding your breath.

“I never should have let you go.”

“Levi, I..”

A few noisy and slightly drunk guests amble outside, ruining the moment. Without a word, Levi takes your hand and pulls you to a far corner of the garden, toward the private rooms. He pulls back the heavy, velvet curtains separating the room from the garden and gestures for you to enter. The room is small and intimate, decorated in a western style with a large, ornate mirror. You walk around, admiring the wingback chairs and gilded furniture, and then you feel Levi’s presence behind you.

His fingers lightly skim your bare arms, leaving a trail of heat coursing through your body. You close your eyes when you feel his warm breath against your neck, followed by soft kisses.

“Levi..I’m seeing someone..” you manage to say.

“Oh yeah?” He responds gently in your ear before kissing your earlobe. “You sure about that?”

When you open your eyes, you notice that you’re in front of the mirror and can see Levi kissing along your neck and shoulders. He looks up and grins.

“Right now I only see you and me.”

He continues kissing along your shoulder until the thin strap of your dress falls down your arm. You can’t resist him, you never could, and so you give in to your desires. You lean your body until your back is pressing against his chest. One of his hands is holding yours while the other is moving the fallen strap down lower, exposing your breast.

“God, you’re so beautiful,” he says as he looks at you in the mirror, his hand moving to cup your breast. “I’ve wanted to touch you like this all night.”

You guide his other hand lower, to the high slit of your dress, urging him to touch your thigh. “I missed you, Levi. So much.”

For you, it’s always been him as well. As much as you’ve tried to deny your feelings for him these past six months, all it took was one touch from him for it to all come back. And now you want more.

His hand finds its way between your thighs as his other hand massages your breast. “You’re already so wet for me,” he notices, as his fingers begin to rub your clit.

“You’re the only one who knows how to make me feel good,” you reply, then your breath catches as he pushes your panties to the side and sides a finger inside you.

It’s a beautifully erotic sight, watching yourself in the mirror as Levi pinches your nipple and pumps his finger in and out of you. You can’t help but let out a moan.

“‘Shhh, you don’t want someone to hear, do you?”

“I don’t care. Levi, I need you so badly.”

You turn around to kiss him, taking his jacket off and throwing it on the floor. Almost immediately, he has you pressed against the wall and is lifting your dress up to your waist. He’s unbuttoning his pants as you slide your panties down, but only get so far as taking them off one leg before he lifts that leg up and rubs his cock against you.

Levi has tunnel vision right now; all he can see is your perfect body, all he wants to hear are the moans of his name from your pretty mouth. And that’s exactly what he gets when he thrusts inside you. You bite your bottom lip as he pounds into you again and again. “I thought you didn’t care if someone heard us?”

“I’m trying to be good,” you reply breathlessly.

“Oh I think we’re well past being good.”

He pins your arm over your head as his other hand is still lifting your leg, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of your inner thigh. You kiss and suck on his neck, leaving a small mark.

“Careful there..”

“What? Makeup can cover it up,” you tease seductively, referring to the first time you and Levi made love.

He lets out a soft growl. “Then I suppose now we’re even.” He picks up the pace, watching as your breasts bounce up and down with each hard thrust. You’re driving him wild; every nerve in his body feels completely alive.

“Levi, I’m…”

He knows. He’s feeling it too. He kisses you long and hard, then feels your walls spasm around him. It’s just what he needs to push him over the edge, and as he cums inside you, it’s as if the whole world has stopped; only your uneven breaths mark the time passing.

You continue to spasm around his cock as your mind goes completely blank. You can’t explain it, but Levi elicits the longest, most intense orgasms from you. It’s just how your body reacts to him - you can’t explain it.

He says your name in your ear, his voice deep and raspy. “Will you forgive me? For all the time we wasted apart. I don’t want to do any of this without you.”

“Yes. Yes, I forgive you.” You run your fingers through his silky hair. “I know we can make this work.”

Of course you forgive him. You’d forgiven him the moment you laid eyes on him tonight; maybe even before that.

The bottom of your dress falls back over your legs and Levi gently pulls the straps back up on your shoulders. You are his, and he is yours - it’s always been this way, and now both of you know it. As you fix your hair and touch up your lipstick in the mirror, there’s a commotion in the garden.

“Leeeeeviiiiiiiii! Where are you? We’re getting tattoos!”

He’d know that yell anywhere: it’s Hange.

“Yeah, come on, Levi! We’re all getting tattoos!”

And Zeke is with them.

“Goddammit. Let’s stay here a little longer.”

You laugh. “You should do it…for memories.” You cup his cheek and give him a kiss. “Get it on your ass, so then only I can see it.”

At that, Levi rolls his eyes. “Don’t make this weirder than it already is.”

He takes your hand in his, then meets the screaming duo in the garden. “Ok, fine, let’s do this,” he resigns, as he leads you along to join the group.

“You want me to come too?”

“Of course.” His face is serious, but there’s a joy in his eyes. “I don’t intend on letting you out of my sight.”

“Yes!” Zeke exclaims. “Eren, Levi is in! Let’s go!!”

And so you walk, hand in hand, out of the restaurant to find the others.

——

“There’s no denying that the two of you have an incredible chemistry in the film. Did that come naturally?” the interviewer asks.

“I think I felt that spark between us almost immediately. Wouldn’t you say?” Levi answers.

“Oh yes, absolutely,” you reply fondly.

It’s the week of the Cannes Film Festival and you and Levi are on the interview circuit. After the AoT premiere, you broke up with your boyfriend and stayed with Levi in Tokyo, then went with him to Singapore and Seoul as the cast traveled from city to city. The month flew by and the next thing you knew, you were both traveling to France.

You’re together everywhere, and the paparazzi have quickly deduced that you're an item. It’s been a hot topic of all the celebrity and gossip sites, but neither of you care - a rare occurrence, for Levi especially, who has always valued his privacy intensely.

“And you’re actually a couple in real life, correct?”

“We are.” You answer tentatively. “He tolerates me, anyway.” You make light of it, but answering this question always makes you nervous, since you’re not quite sure how much Levi wants to share.

“More than tolerate,” Levi squeezes your hand, “she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to my life.”

He knew this question would come up, because it always does these days. But he’s realized, he’s not concerned with the gossip or the naysayers; he knows that whatever challenges come your way, the two of you can ride it out.

He believes this will work, because he’s in love with you. And after this interview is over, he’s going to tell you exactly that.

Until The End (Levi x Reader)- Chapter 30

[Tea or Wine]

_____ A/N: Posted on Wattpad (@CLARE_875) but also decided to post here :)

Summary: "You can push me away, but I will still fight by you, and I will still follow you… until the end."

The ever-so-stoic Levi Ackerman has only ever known the terrors that living in a cruel world could bring. This all changed one fateful day when he encountered [y/n]; a girl renowned for her looks and abnormal speed. As they escape the confines of the Underground together, they soon discover that freedom doesn't come easy in a world full of Titans. As they rise through the ranks, [y/n] becomes known as "Humanity's Angel", a beacon of hope to humanity as she melts the walls Levi had built around his heart. However, she has her secrets too, and a dark past that might just threaten to pull them apart.

The storyline and characters of Attack on Titan do NOT belong to me, but all to Hajime Isayama; however, I do own this story, and all that occurs disparate to that storyline.

Warnings: Descriptions of Blood, Death, Injury, Canonical Violence

When you arrived back to Paradis, the crowds welcomed you in shouts of praise and cheer, news spreading of our seemingly victorious raid on Marley. Your squad along with Hange had stayed in town, and Eren was sent straight to a cell. However, you, Levi and a group of Scouts left the same afternoon you came home. You had all ridden on horseback to the Forest of Giant Trees, taking Zeke Jaeger with you. Levi had joked that we had a world-class hotel waiting for the Beast Titan. You sigh grimly at the thought now as you look up to the massive trees above you, it had been years since you returned, and the memories of the last time you were here were anything but fond. You watch as Levi dismounts his horse and the other Scouts get ready for camp. 

They unload their belongings and you tie your horse beside Levi's joining him as he goes to Zeke who sits on a crate, supervised by two Scouts. He looks up as the two of you approach, an unreadable expression on his face. "I just need to stay here, don't I?" He asks as you frown at him alongside Levi. The man next to you speaks, a dark expression on his face, "Try anything funny, you're dead hairball." Zeke freezes at the intent and lets out a deep sigh. "So, you're going to watch him kill me then [y/n]?" He asks as his eyes turn to your unflinching face. "I told you," you say as you reply emotionlessly. "If it comes down to it, I will watch as you die." Zeke has a grim but unsurprised expression on his face. "Then I stand by my words from that day." He says lowly, and you remember, he had told you he would try to kill Levi in return. "And I stand by mine," you say, before turning and walking away, he would die before he even touches Levi. 

The sun is already low on the horizon as the Scouts around you scurry to put up their tents, one coming and telling you that yours and Levi's were complete as you nod thankfully. You help them gather wood and start a fire for the cold night, as those around you blush and stutter in their own thanks, before being cut off by Levi's glare. You help the Scouts with their work, all the while as thoughts are running through your head. Even upon your return, there had been conflict on whether to trust Eren or not. You know some are strongly devoted to Eren's ideals whatever they may be, and you feared an imminent internal conflict. Historia was also now pregnant, and you knew this caused outrage among higher-ranking officers, thinking she was postponing turning into a Titan and consuming the Beast Titan. There was so much uncertainty, and those you used to trust, you no longer could. On top of all that, Sasha had been killed in the most maddening way imaginable; not by a Titan, or by battle against some expert soldier... but in an instant... by a kid. 

You don't realise you have been staring into the fire, gripping your hands tightly causing some blood to almost spill under the weight of your nails until you feel a warm hand encase your own. Levi gently pries your hands away from the other and you feel him sitting next to you in front of the fire, looking at you in concern. "Oi, don't do that with your hands," he frowns as he takes one in his own. Your thoughts are instantly quietened by the man that you love and you lean against his shoulder tiredly. There is a silence as the moon starts to rise in the darkening sky. You look to see Zeke reading a book and there is a sudden absence of Scouts around you. "Where is everyone?" You ask softly looking up to Levi who nods his head to a little distance away. You look to see that the Scouts had bundled around some crates in the distance, faces flushed as they held up cups, strangely in a happy mood. "Is that...?" You start to question watching as they pour a red liquid from bottles, fighting each other over it. 

"Wine," Levi replies sighing. "They nicked some that was imported from Marley, convinced me to let them have it... I'm not so sure that's a good idea now though," he says darkly. You find yourself silently agreeing as you watch the drunken faces of the Scouts a small distance away. You play with Levi's hand in your grasp as he turns to you, a fond expression now on his face as you find each other quite alone except for Zeke who still keeps reading whatever book it is that's in his hand. You smile at his soft gaze and he brings forward a Flask to you. You raise your eyebrow as Levi replies seeing your questioning gaze. "Don't get too excited, you can't have wine, you're a lightweight," he says smirking slightly at your pout. "But we can have tea." He hands a cup to you as he pours you some before pouring himself some as well. You smile at the gesture and lean against him once more, the two of you in front of the fire, sipping your drinks in the warm presence of the other, serene silence around you. 

..... 

[One Month Later]

Another evening is upon you when two Scouts arrive from within town. They approach you and Levi, high up on a branch of a tree with information on what's happening. You can't deny the initial shock at the proclamation made as you speak out, completely blindsided. "Zachary was killed?" You say breathlessly, as the Scout in front of you and Levi nods. The leader of the three regiments... how?  "Yes. The Jaegerists effectively control everything in the walls. We think it's all part of some plan Zeke put together using Yelena and Eren." The Jaegerists, devout followers and supporters of Eren... "And?" Levi prompts the Scout to keep speaking as he continues grimly. "Soon, the Jaegerists may bring Eren to see Zeke like they've been demanding." There is a brief silence as you speak up from next to Levi with a hard gaze. "And Pyxis? Is he letting this happen?" 

Another Scout speaks up. "As you know, the Commander can be quite stubborn." Levi's eyes spark dangerously, as he speaks in realisation. "He's gonna make sure Eren gets eaten... by our own hands." The other Scouts nod silently in confirmation to Levi's words as you watch his face contort to one of outrage. You know why. Levi looks to the two Scouts in front of him, disbelief clouding his mind, and irritation striking the back of his head sharply. He had saved Eren over and over, and every time, more of his comrades had died. All because he believed he was the hope of humanity. You watch as Levi grasps his raven hair tightly, as his dark thoughts swirl in his head. ‘This is where my beliefs got me. It's like some awful joke. What the hell was the hope that we saw? All that struggle for a farce like this’. You can do nothing but look down on your own defeat. You had all lost so much to save and allow Eren to survive all this time, for him to be fed to another anyway... 

"Such bullshit. It's not even funny." Levi's voice is lower than you have ever heard, more tinted with rage than ever before. "There's another shithead we should have eaten." The Scouts in front of you look confused as they turn to the tormented look on the Captain's face. "What do you mean," they ask eyes darting between the two of you. "We'll give the Beast to someone else," Levi says as he removes his hand from where it had been gripping tightly to his hair. "We'll make one of the Jaegerists into a Titan and have them eat Zeke... I can't tell if he's manipulating Eren, but their party's over if they lose Zeke. Go tell that to Pyxis, got it?" The Scouts in front of you stutter in complete surprise. "Y-You're serious, Captain?" They ask as they look to Levi who stares back with grave intent within his sharp eyes. "The old man will come around once I chop Zeke's limbs off," he replies. He then takes off on his ODM gear to the floor and slowly approaches Zeke. 

You let out a deep sigh and turn to the two Scouts still in front of you, dismissing them as they nod and retreat to the floor back to their horses. You sit on the branch of the tree looking down at the sight of Levi having a quiet exchange with the man you know he despises. 

"Enjoying your book?" 

"I am, for one who's read it seven times." 

"You've been eavesdropping more than reading." 

"Can you blame me when I've read it this much? By the way, Is there any wine left?" 

"Not a single drop left. We've been here a month." 

"Good grief. You sure know how to torture someone." 

"Just read your book." 

"Roger that." 

You suppress the roll of your eyes at such a seemingly bland conversation, wondering if the two ever exchanged words that surpassed that of benign small talk. You lean your head against the trunk of the tree, looking past the forest and watching the way the sun begins to slowly fall once more beneath the ground. You then look up and around you. You have thirty fully armed soldiers waiting in the forest among the trees, some resting in hammocks, some training wildly, some simply sitting and waiting. You know that no matter what Pyxis says, Levi will chop up Zeke and disregard the initial plan to feed him to Historia. We have Thunder Spears and ODM gear that works brilliantly with the help of the giant trees. If Zeke were to escape it would have to be by some sort of miracle. We know now for certain that Zeke was indeed our enemy, working with Eren on a plan you could not decipher, Levi wouldn't show mercy. He would finally be able to fulfil the promise he made to Erwin four years ago, finally be able to put worth in his and his comrade's deaths. You lose yourself in your thoughts... until you're brought back to reality.

Suddenly, there is a deathly silence in the air. 

Suddenly, your thoughts are no longer optimistic. 

Suddenly, the roaring voice of a man comes from below you. 

You look down, only for Levi to freeze as he looks to Zeke's form that's running... away? 

Then, glowing lights blind your vision. 

Clouds of dirt and dust reach the air as you watch your comrades fall from the trees around you, only they are no longer human but... Titans. Your heart thrums against your chest as you quickly stand to your feet, stabilising yourself before using your ODM gear to dodge the prying hand of a Titan that reaches towards you. You fly through the air looking desperately for Levi but you have to dodge once more as a Titan reaches out to you. Your eyes are grim, your lungs constricting under your confusion. ‘What... What's happening’ And then, you remember. You remember how the Scouts had drunk the Marleyan wine throughout the past month, you and Levi allowing them to. ‘Did they have Zeke's spinal fluid in them?’  You remember frantically the words Zeke had spoken to you all during the month of your stay; how he can use his spinal fluid to turn humans into Titans and control them... an advantage of being a Titan with royal blood. But he must have lied when he said that you freeze when you consume it... all to distract you from the fact that you watched in front of your very eyes as your Scouts did. 

"[Y/N]!!"

The yell of Levi's voice finally makes its way through the air as you search frantically for him. "LEVI!!" You call out, hoping he's okay, needing to get to Zeke, not wanting to kill your comrades no matter if they were lost to you as Titans. Then, you finally see him in a flash of raven hair. Levi was dodging Titans at a high speed as he tried to escape one's clutches. The Titans had started to climb the trees, their movements fast and controlled, likely Zeke's doing once again. You continue as well, only seeing a quick flicker of relief in your partner's eyes as he sees you still alive. You turn through the air, not knowing what to do. Every face of a Titan holds remnants of the Scouts you had trained and grown to care for. ‘Were they still there?’  You wonder, looking at their Titan forms.

But you know they aren't. 

You watch as a Titan goes to grab Levi as you fly through the air. He had lost so much; you wouldn't allow him to kill his comrades... You let out a yell before turning, and in one second, four Titans, including the one that had been pursuing Levi fell to the ground, steaming and dead. Levi looks up to you complete dread and torment on his face, no doubt blaming himself once again for the predicament. You use a brief lack of pursuing Titans to go to him quickly, grabbing his shoulder and shaking him out of it. "Levi!!" You yell out as he meets your gaze. "You go!! Get Zeke!! I'll hold them off!!" Levi starts to slowly shake his head, the same look of anguish on his face. "No!! I'm not leaving you here!" You turn quickly, slicing through another Titan that has caught up to the both of you.

"We don't have any time," you say softly, "please Levi..." 

He looks to you, seemingly having shaken out of it as he readies his ODM gear reluctantly turning away with a grim expression on his face. "Don't die." With his words, he's gone and you are left with dozens of Titans around you, but you'd have to work fast to keep the majority from pursuing Levi, and so you fight. You slice through so many Titans you are barely even able to recognise their nape from their face. You speed through the air like you are the wind, guilt and grief filling you along with rage. Hot blood falls from the sky at your rampage, it falls onto your face and seeps into the swords that you use. The hands that reach out to you fall limply in a matter of seconds, and the Titan's wild smiles turn lifeless at your pursuit, all the while you try to separate the image of your smiling comrades from them. It's only about a minute, but it feels like a lifetime by the time you reach the ground once more. 

Steam rises in the air almost clouding your vision at the sheer number of Titans that wither with the falling sun. You pant heavily groaning as you sit down amid the destruction. You look to the darkening sky and trying to stop the tears that seem to flow down your face. 

..... 

When Levi finds you once more, he has Zeke's withered form in his grasp, and you have attached [h/n] and Levi's horse to a cart with a few supplies. He drops Zeke carelessly onto the cart before rushing to your side and you embrace him, hiding your face into his chest, glad he was okay. He pulls you into a soft, warm kiss, his relief filling him and your hearts thrumming before he pulls away. He looks behind you to where the Titans you killed fade in the dying sun. The both of you have grim faces as you mount your horse, Levi mounting his. Neither of you has the heart to offer comfort beyond the other's presence as you ride silently away from the giant trees. 

..... 

The following day arrives but the sun is not visible in the overcast day. Heavy rain pours onto you and Levi as your faces hide under the little shelter your capes provide. Zeke had regained consciousness but still cried out periodically in pain, barely noticeable over the continuous blow of the wind. A thunder spear impaled his lower abdomen, a wire around his neck attached to the Thunder Spear Fuse. Wounds littered his form and his burns slowly healed, remnants of Levi's torturous methods on the man. Sick and blood littered on the cart slowly washed away. You felt no sympathy for Zeke's form nor his blatant agony. Not after toying with the lives of your subordinates so amusedly; not after forcing you and Levi to witness and cause further losses once again.  There is silence beyond the horrid weather as you and Levi move forward atop your horses barely minding the man on the cart behind you, not until his muttering reaches the air.

"Our sole salvation... is Eldia's euthanization." 

You freeze as his words reach the air, heart thrumming to life after the many hours spent on the road. Euthanization? Your confusion mingled with your suddenly sharp senses as Levi spoke out dully from next to you. "You say something? Euthanization?" Levi barely turns to look at the man who had been muttering and crying deliriously for the past day. "You're about to find yourself in a Titan's mouth, listening to what it sounds like to be digested." Levi suddenly pulls the reins of his horse forcing him to a stop, and you do the same, gently pulling on [h/n] and mimicking his motion. You turn slightly to see the dark expression hidden under Levi's soaked cape, he then gets off his horse and jumps swiftly onto the cart where the man he despised lies, glaring down to him. "Compared to how you stole the lives of our comrades, it sounds like a pleasant way to die." 

You watch from atop [h/n] as steam rises from Zeke's still-open wounds and his barely visible eyes struggle to remain open. "I didn't steal... I saved lives." The blond-haired man replied slowly and sluggishly. "The lives of the children they would bear... from this cruel world."  Levi's expression doesn't change, if at all it becomes more deadly, as he listens but hardly minds the man's words. He unsheathes his sword as he speaks sharply. "Looks like your legs are growing back." But Zeke's eyes suddenly open widely a look of grim fear and untamed emotion upon his face as he barely listens nor looks to Levi. Your heart suddenly drops in dread as the man shouts out helplessly into the air. "Isn't that right... Mr. Ksaver?! I hope you're watching!" Your heart beats uncontrollably as you witness with wide eyes as Zeke suddenly moves wildly and desperately atop the cart. 

One moment passes. 

Your eyes watch as his movements release the trigger of the Thunder Spear impaled within him. You watch as Levi's suddenly fearful and wide gaze darts from the man to you. You go to move towards Levi, hoping your speed would allow just one miracle... just allow you to save him... the life of the man you love... please... But as you flash forward you feel the usual comforting arms of the man you married harshly and powerfully push you away. 

There is a deafening blast. 

Fire consumes your vision as you lose sight of Levi who is engulfed in the flame. The shock hits you harshly and you feel yourself pound against the ground when you make an impact. 

Your vision goes black.

Buck pursed his lips, shaking his head. “Seems a bit late to be worried, doesn't it?” he spewed. “He's missing for months and neither of you even thought anything of it, b- but now you're concerned?”

“Buck,” Hen kept her voice calm, measured, “I know you're angry with us, and maybe you have every right to be, but what happened was something that no one would ever expect. We weren't being intentionally malicious. We do care about Tommy, and we care about you too.”

Buck pulled his drink closer to him, swirling the straw. “Well, we're fine,” he insisted. “Tommy's fine, I'm fine, everything is- is fine.”

“That's good,” Chimney said. “But if it ever gets to the point where you're not fine, or he's not fine, you can call us, Buck. Or, hey, call your sister. She'd like more than one word answers every now and then.”

“And Buck,” Hen added, “I love you, okay? But after what we saw down in that cellar, after what Tommy went through... he's not fine. So when the levy does break, I want you to be prepared. Don't let still waters distract you from the giant black clouds up ahead.”

“That's poignant,” Buck replied bitterly. “But we're fine.”

Hen sighed, leaning back in her chair. “So you've said.”

You were growing impatient by the second. The heels of your shoes incessantly tapping the marble floor. Glancing around the room, people were standing around in small groups, light conversations creating a low hum.Searching desperately, you twisted your neck and squinted your eyes, scanning over the sea of unfamiliar faces.

Aha! Target spotted.

There he was, standing next to Erwin, who in comparison, loomed over Levi like a giant. With haste you made your way over to the two who were currently in deep conversation. On seeing you appear, Levi’s face lit up slightly, almost too quick to disregard Erwin midway of his sentence.

For a moment he thought there was something wrong. Really wrong. From the way your arm looped around his and pulled him away from Erwin with nothing more than an apologetic smile that spoke of urgency, Levi had thought that there had been an accident or problem of some sort.

This was definitely not like you.

“What are you doing?” Levi questioned, as you dragged him past numerous groups of people huddled around in light conversation.

“Let’s get out of here.” you replied hastily.

“Already?” He frowned. “But we just got-”

“I know. But I want to go.”

“Are you oka-”

“I’m fine.” you interrupted, leading Levi through the double doors and into the empty hallway.

The large oak doors slowly shut behind you, the world of socialization now hidden away. Only the two of you stood in the solitary corridor and if you tried hard enough you could just about hear the voices of those in the large hall, the melodious clinking of champagne glasses and the persistent squeak of leather shoes traveling.

You’d only managed to drag Levi a few steps before he suddenly paused, halting his steps behind you. Turning, you found his face turning stone cold.

“What’s wrong?”

Concern was evident in his tone, finding your behavior was completely unusual. Normally, on occasions like these he would be the one hinting to leave his work gatherings early, unable to keep on listening to a bunch of bastards talk about money and business deals. He’d leave that up to Erwin.

You hesitate in your reply which only further worsens his anxiety for you. Reading this expression on his face you decide that actions will prevail over your words and in drawing closer to him, you close the gap between the two of you, indulging in his husky scent before placing your lips onto his.

It wasn’t just a simple kiss, oh no, if anything it would have led to more right there and then. If he hadn’t caught up to the way your hips grew closer to his, the way your hands fumbled around his waist and the sultry way you groaned as you kissed him fiercely. So fierce, in fact that your hands moved to the lapels of his suit, pulling–no, dragging him until you had your back against the marble stone wall of the hallway.

A soft gasp left your mouth at the coldness of the wall against the back of the thin fabric of your dress.

Parting for oxygen, you had left him breathless, but you needed more. And before you could pull him in for another one of your passionate kisses, he hesitated. Gray eyes casting back to the shut doors that lead to the hall.

You read his mind.

Anyone of Levi’s colleagues could walk out right now and see the both of you. It would be inappropriate, this was a professional event for work, he had a reputation to maintain. Licking your lips you choose to tempt him further, choosing to run the risks of getting caught without shame.

“I don’t care if someone sees us, I need you, now.” you sigh, your tone breathy with a hint of desperation that Levi could sense dripping off you.

“What’s got you in this state hmm?” He glanced down to your lips, an internal war in his mind to prevent himself from kissing them.

“You.”

Levi’s eyes bounced back to your own. “Me?”

You nod, leaning in for another sloppy kiss. As you do so, you grab his hand and with your other free hand, you pull up the side of your dress, guiding his hand underneath for his fingers to coat the soaked underwear you have on.

“You see how wet I am? That’s all because of you.” you murmur under your breath, your lips brushing against his. Levi leans into the crook of your neck, cursing underneath his breath and already you can feel his hard on rub against you.

“You’re the fucking death of me, you know that right?”

A small giggle left your mouth and you figured right now, Erwin would be making his speech, thanking everyone for coming to the annual gala. Totally unaware that the two of you have just disappeared from the room.

“What do you want?” Levi asks. His tone is dark with his eyes still peering down to your lips.

“You.” And your eyes gleamed as the word left your mouth, just from your gaze he knew how much you had wanted it.

Slowly, Levi’s fingers pulled your soaked underwear to the side and an audible sigh left your mouth, your warm exhale landing on his neck. His fingers traced over your cunt, soon coating themselves in your slick.

“What if someone sees this hmm?” Levi proposed, “Imagine somebody walking out now and seeing how needy you are for me?”

“Good. All the better to show that I belong to you.” you whisper back, a taunting smile on your face.

“All for me, huh?” he questions, still tracing his fingers over your wet pussy. He soon finds your pulsing clit and traces slow, languid circles with his fingers which cause you to let out a soft whine in pleasure.

“All for you.” You repeat, unable to stop your voice from shaking as he continues his slow pace. “I dare you to make me cum right here.”

The words slipped from your mouth before you could even think about it. Feeling proud that you managed to take this risk right now only boosted your ego. Plus, you know that Levi Ackerman would never back down from a dare.

“So demanding.” Levi murmurs. “Be careful with what you wish for, sweetheart.” He warns before leaning in to place a kiss on your lips, his fingertips gradually increasing the speed of his circles on your clit.

You part away for air, his name leaving your mouth and already you can feel the tension grow in the pit of your stomach and you know you don’t want it to stop.

Verbally, you let him know this.

He continues to create a sensual pace, eager to hear your mewls and whines, your hands bundle at his suit jacket, the tension building up throughout your body.

Lifting your leg to wrap around his hip, you can feel his bulge pressing into you. Now with more freedom, his fingers soon find your entrance and quickly two fingers delve into your throbbing pussy. A whine, louder than before is heard and Levi clasps his hand around your mouth to muffle your moans.

“I need you to be a good girl and stay quiet for me ‘kay?” He whispers in a low tone, “You don’t want anyone to walk out seeing you in this state do you? Not after you just promised that this was all for me.”

You nod feebly, your eyes rolling into the back of your head as his fingers continue to scissor your gummy walls. Your cunt clenched around his fingers, the wetness of your cunt echoes out in the hallway, trails of your juices dripping down your thigh.

If Levi had it his way, he’d be on his knees lapping at it all, not letting them go to waste. But it was risky enough to be in this position anyways, he’d had to save that desire for later.

But god, the way his mouth watered with every sound your pussy made as his fingers stretched you out, already stuffed and he was tempted to add a third. Your eyes roll to the back of your head as you continue to cry out, muffled underneath his hand.

With every plunge into your pussy, your fingertips gripped him even harder, desperate for more.

“Are you gonna’ cum for me?” Levi taunted, watching as your eyes grew wider, your cunt squeezing him tighter when his fingers reached for that sweet spot. He soon added a third that made your thighs begin to shake, one of them around his lower half, drawing him in closer to you.

Levi couldn’t help but release his hand away from your mouth as you reached your climax. He needed to hear, see, witness and observe the way he made you cum.

A single deep thrust of his fingers was all that was needed to make you spiral. Your body jerked with your lips spewing out an endless prayer of “I’m cumming, I’m cumming, I’m cumming.”

The words soon died on your tongue, as your body reached a state of euphoria, soon buried by incoherent mumbles.

With a kiss on your forehead, Levi praised you, removing his fingers which were coated in your release. Letting the front half of your dress fall back down, his coated fingers find a way into his mouth. He sucks hard, a groan at the bitter taste of your juices.

This is only a small taste of what he truly wants.

An appetizer, a teaser even.

Perhaps, he’s willing to take the risk of tasting the full meal right here, right now.

No.

He’d rather wait. Maintain his patience.

After all…he prefers to save the best part till last.

3rd anni req 9: [DRAGON AU] lucifer / bonding

ao3 link

note: quick note/clarification just in case: ik has nicknamed lucifer and mammon "boss" and "goldie" respectively, so those are the dragons she's referring to in her narration!

∎ ∎ ∎ ∎ ∎

“I’m not having any part in this,” Lucifer had said. “This is to be your responsibility only,” He’d said.

He’s… not entirely sure how this happened in the first place. At some point over the last few weeks, he’s gone from disapproving overseer of Mammon’s inexplicable adoption of a human child, to that same child’s primary caretaker.

Mammon is usually in charge of finding her a spot to sleep, but it’s Lucifer who makes sure she eats at the same times as them, or escorts her to the stream every morning so she can wash her face. Occasionally, he brings her strangely-shaped rocks, or sticks and flowers from the forest, so that she has something to play with.

He’s not sure why he feels the need to intervene. He’ll blame Mammon’s incompetence - and the child’s rather unhappy habit of walking straight into mortal danger.

The latest in her series of mishaps involves fish, a river, and a very panicked Levi. Lucifer is - as usual - surveying the territory when his brother comes racing up the hill, and dumps the human in a soggy heap at his feet.

“What now?” He asks, mildly aggravated, then pauses. This isn’t the first time she’s taken a tumble, but this is the sorriest state he’s seen her in so far.

“It’s not moving!” wails Levi, bounding in distressed circles and getting water all over the rocks. “I think— I think I killed it, Lucifer!”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” He replies, a little distracted by his running. “What hap— will you stop that?!”

Levi skids to a stop. His barbels twitch anxiously.

Lucifer ducks down and nudges the child with his snout. When she doesn’t respond, he puffs a cloud of smoke into her face, then tries again. This time, she makes a bubbly sound.

“Is it alive?” Levi asks anxiously.

“Stop calling her an it, Levi,” He grumbles, then straightens up. “She’s fine.”

“Oh. Okay.” Levi relaxes. He regards the little human for a moment - nose twitching - then flicks his tail and bounds off again.

Lucifer watches him go and heaves a silent sigh. He’s been seeing a new, fickle side to his younger brothers as of late. They can’t seem to decide whether or not they enjoy their new ward’s company.

Well, except Mammon. Perhaps this is the upside of being simple-minded - he doesn’t seem to care about everything that comes attached to the word ‘human’ for dragons like them.

Lucifer isn’t so naive, but it’s hard to look at this half-drowned little creature and think ‘dangerous’. It’s even harder to think ‘cruel’, ‘murderer’, or anything else in between. Still - best not get too attached.

“Up you get.” He attempts to nudge her to her feet. She just coughs pitifully and slumps back onto the ground. “We can find you a sunny spot to dry off in.”

The child - predictably, considering she can’t understand him - doesn’t move. She looks rather ill, actually.

Lucifer thinks for a while. The child blinks up at him with far-too-large eyes as he clicks, ignites the fire in his chest, then settles down beside her.

“Don’t get used to this,” He warns her, which is completely futile, and he knows it. “It’ll be a hassle if you get sick.”

The human doesn’t respond, of course, but manages to prop herself up enough to huddle closer to his side. He finds himself blowing idle smoke rings as he waits for the heat to dry her off.

“Be more careful next time,” He says after a while. “Leave the fishing to Levi.”

The child looks up at him cluelessly, then makes a series of chirpy noises. This is, in particular, is something new to him - he’s used to hearing human language from a distance, in gruff shouts from steel-clad giants, or shrill shrieks from beige-clothed merchants.

The way the child talks is almost musical, lilting from one register to another. The strangest part is that, sometimes, he feels like he might understand.

He supposes he’s a little glad that she doesn’t seem frightened by the growls of dragon-speak. He’s found himself unconsciously making adjustments, anyway - speaking softer, trying not to make the sounds too harsh, as if trying to imitate a human register.

He’s almost dozed off by the time he remembers why he lay down in the first place. He looks down. The child’s gone and fallen asleep, still curled against his side. For some reason, the sight makes him think of baby ducks.

Lucifer contemplates this for a while. Well, he supposes there’s no helping it. Humans must get their rest, especially small ones - otherwise they won’t grow properly.

Which means he might as well stay here. If he’s needed for something, surely it can wait.

-

Boss definitely seems like the most frightening dragon of the lot, but he’s actually pretty easy to get along with - as long as you follow the rules. If he starts rumbling, proceed with caution. If he’s blowing smoke rings, you could start hitting him and he won’t even care.

At least, that’s the impression I have. My fists are of inconsequential force to a dragon with near-impenetrable scales, though, so he might not have even noticed.

Living with dragons is a lot more ordinary than I thought. I had images in my head of them smashing mountains and eating boulders for fun, but mostly they just hang around and play - just like people do.

Apart from Boss. He seems to spend most of his free time standing silently on the mountain peak, staring out into the horizon. Sometimes he goes out hunting, and sometimes he goes for a fly around the forest, but mostly he just… watches.

He’s much more considerate than he looks at first glance. Less brutal killer, more affable-but-irritated caretaker. I knew all the dragon horror stories couldn’t possibly be true, but it’s nice to be vindicated.

I want to try returning the favour, but I’m not sure there’s anything I have - or can get - that a dragon would want. So I pay a little extra attention to what he gets up to the next day, and I note something useful.

Sometimes, while he’s land-watching, the wind whistles through the mountain ridges in just the right way to produce a little song. When that happens, he closes his eyes, and puffs out contented little smoke rings until he notices someone looking. So…

Goldie has a lot of shiny things in his cave. I don’t quite dare touch his main hoard, but he leaves a lot of the less precious-looking things unorganised by the walls - which means there might be something I can use there.

He’s clinking happily through his coin collection when I slip into his cave. He grunts in greeting, then goes back to organising them by colour.

“Hi, Goldie.” I stoop and squint at something small and bony-looking. “Do you think you have a flute or something around here?”

He tilts his head to the side. “Rhh?”

“It’s— ah, don’t worry. I’ll figure it out.” I set aside something that looks like a watch face. “...oh!”

A pan-flute - it’s a little dusty, but not damp at all. I try blowing an experimental little melody. I’m no maestro, but I still think it sounds lovely.

Goldie makes a chittering sound. His spines flatten back as I test just how high the pipes can go.

“Oh— sorry!” He makes a show of ducking down and covering his head with his wings. “Did I hurt your ears?”

He peeks a single blue eye out and trills. It’s funny - neither of us really know what the other’s saying, but we always seem to get the message across anyway.

The next day, as soon as I notice him flapping off to find a vantage point as usual, I scramble after him. I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but I feel like his spot today is a lot easier to navigate up to than usual - less vertical rock faces, less jagged edges.

I sit down on the ledge beside him. He’s radiating heat, as always - his crimson eyes flick down to me, and stay there.

“I’ve got something to show you,” I announce, then pull out the pan-flute. “Listen.”

His tail flicks cautiously. I bring the flute to my mouth - slowly, so as not to alarm him - and play him a little tune.

Just as he does when the mountains whistle, he closes his eyes and relaxes. The smoke rings come soon after that.

I play through all the tunes I can think of, then improvise a few new ones. Some time after I lapse into silence, Boss opens his eyes again.

Something about him seems to have shifted. A little nervously, I give his dark scales a pat. He snorts (there’s another puff of smoke), but doesn’t look irritated at all.

“Do dragons have names?” I ask him. He just looks at me.

I tilt my head to the side, as if listening to something, then point up at him. He stares for a little while longer, then makes a rough, crackling sound, and looks off into the distance again.

Then he looks at me. Then to the sky. It takes several more tries before I realise he’s trying to draw my attention to something.

“Sun?” I muse. “Is that your name?”

He doesn’t react. I try again. “Sunny?”

Nothing again. What else do you call the sun that’d make a good name for a dragon? “Hmm… Morning-star?”

Or something that means the same thing?

“Lu…cifer?” I try.

He blinks. Then his wings flick up, and he exhales - blowing what I can only assume is a pleased puff of smoke into my face.

I beam up at him. “Do you wanna hear another song?”

I don’t know how much of the question he understands, but his eyes light up when I pick up the pan-flute again. He settles down in that way that so reminds me of a cat, and lifts a wing to shield the bright morning sun from my face.

Lucifer likes music. That’s good to know.

The last ten days have been so full of death, failure and betrayal that you almost forgot there was once peace, life and loyalty. Mike's death and the appearance of the beast titan set off a chain of events that even you couldn't have foreseen. Your entire squad was whipped out while you were in the safety of Erwin's office, mourning Mike's death with him. You were assigned as Levi's personal assistant shortly after the Commander declared you unfit to fight due to trauma. That's why you haven't been actively fighting for the last few days, instead learning how to serve Levi's tea properly. A few days later, you had a vision of Reiner transforming into the armored titan. A background check revealed that there was literally no information about his upcoming, and after Armin began to suspect your comrade and friend as well, things went downhill quickly.

Bertolt and Reiner revealed themselves as titans a few days later and kidnapped both Eren and Ymir, who appears to be a Titan as well. In total, there were five intelligent titans within the walls, and yet none of you knew how they appeared, where they came from, or why Eren had one. Surely the secret lies in the cellar of his father's house in Shiganshina. When you rescued him from the colossal giants Reiner and Bertolt, it was revealed that sweet little Krista Lenz was also hiding a terrible secret from you.

Historia Reiss, that's her real name. She hasn't given much away yet, but Commander Erwin has made sure she's in Levi's new squad. If anyone was able to get information out of her, it was him. After you and Historia were chosen, your friends quickly followed. Eren, the only remaining member of the Captain's late squad, obviously stayed under his supervision, and after a few discussions Mikasa and Jean also proved to be natural choices for him. Armin was the next obvious choice, and a good one at that. He may be weak, but he has strategic potential. You are not sure why Connie and Sasha were chosen. It's not that you hate them, on the contrary, you're glad to have their cheerful personalities around again, but are they really good enough to protect Eren and Historia from danger?

Tomorrow will be the day when the new Levi Squad will leave with the Hange Squad for the Titan-based experiments outside in Rose. The supposed breach turned out to be nothing but a false assumption, the truth is much darker. The titans that attacked you that day and killed your squad appeared right inside the walls, and to make matters worse, they were once human. How? You don't know yet, but you're confident you'll soon find out. You have been over-analysing your journals and notebooks every night, trying to read between the lines and remember your visions. All triggered by the words of that ape titan. He knows you; he made that clear, which is why you now suspect that you are from outside the walls. That's why you're standing outside Erwin's bedroom, anxiously knocking on the door, hoping not to disturb him.

Commander Erwin Smith has been in a coma for days, having lost his arm in battle. It was bloody and messy, and when he came back bleeding and on the brink of death, you wondered if your visions had deceived you. You saw his death and it was different.

"Name and business." A calm yet harsh voice demands, letting you know he's still awake.

"Cadet Faye Engel, sir. I have news." You reply, loud enough for him to hear. After a moment of silence, the Commander allows you to enter, and you nervously open the wooden door. As you enter, you find yourself facing the Commander, bedridden, unshaven and deeply affected by recent events.

"What is it, Faye?" He asks, wetting his lips with his tongue as he lets your name roll over his cracked lips.

"Captain Levi wants to inform you of the further plans for tomorrow, he has written everything down here." You show him the envelope, written in your superior's perfectly written calligraphy. He declines the offer, insisting on reading it himself, and asks you to give him the reports, which you do, your cool hands touching his, making you shiver. It's not that you're attracted to him, no, it's more the uncomfortable feeling you get when he looks at you, almost as if he knows something you don't.

"Anything else, dear?" Slightly nervous, you brush a strand of your hair behind your ear that has fallen into your face as you shift from one leg to the other.

"Yes - um." As you search for the right way to explain your theory, a nervous feeling, almost like fear, settles in your gut.

"I don't think I'm from inside the walls." You admit and take a deep breath.

"But I'm not your enemy!" You add quickly with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of your head uncomfortably.

"What makes you think that?" Erwin asks, genuinely intrigued by your confession.

"The Beast Titan. It was able to talk to me and it seemed to know me." The Commander looks at you and allows you to continue.

"It called me by a name that sounded strangely familiar. This beast said he thought I wouldn't remember it. He said I had done it to myself." You are telling the truth; Erwin can see it in your frightened eyes. He wishes you'd told him that, but for now he can see past it. The loss of his friend has taken a deeper toll on you than he expected at first.

"I figured you weren't from here." Erwin confesses after a minute of silence, his deep blue eyes boring into your soul with interest.

"But why?" You ask, deeply confused. Have you been behaving differently? Or strange?

"To be honest, I was never really sure that you were from Shiganshina. I think you lost your memories, that the head injuries were serious after all. It's impossible that you forgot the whole concept of the walls, but that's highly unlikely". He explains calmly, playing with the envelope you gave him.

"But you said something to Mike that was even more unusual." You raise an eyebrow at his statement, wondering what you might have said.

"Apparently you said that you were at school until you were fourteen. No one within the walls can stay in school that long, except for the rich heirs of nobles in the inner districts. If you were from Sina, someone would have looked for you. He says, and you think his thoughts are reasonable. There is a comfortable silence between the two of you until Commander Smith decides to lead the conversation again.

"The name he called you by." He begins, sitting up slightly, serious in tone but with a hint of gentleness in it.

"Is that how you want to be called from now on?" Seemingly taken by surprise, your frown deepens as you immediately answer with a short "No", causing the Commander to raise a bushy eyebrow.

"No?" He repeats your words, confused, as if he hadn't expected you to say that.

"I don't want to be called anything that has to do with that beast." You explain sternly and firmly, clearly rejecting the idea. The blonde just nods his head, different thoughts dancing in his head, all circling around you.

"If he knows you, do you think the other titans do too?" He wonders, asking you something you haven't had time to think about yet.

"If they know me, they certainly haven't shown up." You answer honestly, unable to think of a time when they would hint.

"I hope you realize that no one can know about this conversation." Erwin says and opens the envelope from Levi, his attention now elsewhere.

"I do." You promise with a brief nod of the head and salute him to get permission to leave. "Have a good night, Faye."

Your night had been nothing but horrible. Sharing a room with your good friends from the trainee corps had never been a problem until tonight. Historia was the first to fall asleep, followed by Mikasa, who had been injured by a titan a few days ago. Sasha and you stayed up the longest, chatting about the past few days and answering her questions about being the Captain's personal assistant. Although you had only been in this position for a few days, the man had managed to drain you of all your patience. You had to make him tea several times in a row until his words weren't "drinkable" anymore but "good", and it took you ages to proofread his files and papers, only to find that they were already perfect. Sasha would giggle at your miserable week and ask you for some advice on what it meant to be his subordinate. Soon after, you both fell asleep, leaving only the light of the moon in the darkness of your barracks.

The dreams that haunted you that night began strangely. You don't know how or when it began, but first there was Historia, standing in a white dress with a red velvet rope covering her shoulders and back, her hair pulled back in a beautiful bun, her expression deadly serious. Someone placed a golden crown on her head, and the shouts of joy from the citizens filled your ears. But the dream did not end there. Now you're going through a torturous ordeal, watching soldier after soldier fall to their deaths. You see Shiganshina, covered in moss and ivy, as if no one had cared for it for years. You walk through its streets, dried and fresh blood covering the stony streets. You see Erwin, his body motionless and lifeless, you see him on a mountain of corpses, all of them dead scouts. Erwin was once praised for his success in bringing back hundreds of soldiers alive, but now he's the cause of hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths.

You don't realize it's a nightmare, no, you think it's another nightmare you can't wake up from. You don't notice your body tensing and shaking, you don't hear your own cries and pleas. But your friends do, rushing to your side as you scream in agony. Unable to wake you and seeing blood running from your nostrils all over your face, Historia quickly runs out of the room to find help. Other scouts have woken up by now, so they open the door to see what's going on. On her way to get a nurse, Historia accidentally runs into Captain Levi, who seems to be wide awake. She tries to explain the situation to him, not knowing that he has already dealt with you like that before.

Levi is quick on his feet, rushing down the corridor to the barracks.

"Oi. Get back to bed." He spits at the inquisitive scouts, urging them back to their rooms with an angry expression on his face. Historia follows him, concern written all over her sleepy features. Entering the barracks, he pulls the panicked Blouse girl away from your form and demands to know from Mikasa how long you've been having the seizures. The gloomy brat is the only reliable one in this situation, she answers him sharply as she holds your hand and tries to comfort you. Ever since you came to defend Eren at the trial and looked after him when she couldn't, Mikasa has been nothing but loyal to you, trusting you in every way. She used to be cold and distant, much like Levi, but knowing the truth about you has helped her to understand.

"I'll take her to the nurses. Go back to bed." The Captain carefully lifts you into his arms and holds you close to his chest, trying not to get blood all over himself. Your screams stop instantly as your tearful eyes close, and you slowly begin to calm down. Almost as if he has brought you back to reality.

He carries you through the corridors, cursing the soldiers who didn't listen to him the first time and lecturing them about respect. He can't take you to the nurses though, he doesn't trust them. They're employed by the military police, and he certainly doesn't want to give them any reason to find out about your nightly seizures. Levi only told the girls this because he knew it would ease their worries a little. After all, he needs them awake for an hour-long journey tomorrow. He listens to your soft whimpering as you come to, your frightened eyes opening to meet his as he carries you up the stairs to his office.

"They're all going to die." You whisper under your breath, your body weak from the terrifying attack you have just endured.

"Don't think about that, brat." Levi tries, he really does, but comforting others has never been his forte.

"Where are you taking me?" Your confused and tired voice makes him pity you a little as he looks straight ahead, not daring to meet your eyes.

"My office." He says as he struggles to open the door without accidentally dropping you.

"Am I in trouble Captain?" Your raspy voice and troubled words make him swallow without answering. The last few days have been terrible for him, not that you've been a terrible assistant, far from it. You were perfect in every way, caring deeply about details and his opinion. Almost as if you were using your work as a way of coping with your loss. He felt more and more happy to have you around every day, and it made him feel terribly disgusted with himself. "Remember who she is." He tried to tell himself. "She could be my death one day, we know nothing about her, not even her real name." But Levi can't help himself, there is something about you that seems to draw him in, something that warms his belly with a desire he thought he had buried long ago.

From his office, he goes to his bedroom, only to put you on his bed, which he rarely uses. He tells you to stay there when he goes to the bathroom to get a wet carpet. Ever since he saved you from certain death on the last expedition, he has felt responsible for you. Levi knows that you are a grown woman, a soldier, capable of looking after yourself, but who will look after you when you can't? When you are unconscious, unable to control your own body? Looking at you in the mirror over his sink, Levi can't help but admire how stunning you look; covered in tears, with a thin line of blood that makes your pale skin stand out even more. He swallows, reminding himself that he is sick in the head for thinking that your current state is attractive. "That's why you don't have sex anymore, idiot." He tells himself, clutching the wet cloth tighter in his fist. "You only hurt your companions."

He leaves the bathroom shortly afterwards and comes to your side.

"Can you tell me what you were dreaming about?" The Captain asks as he begins to clean the blood from your face with the clothes, not as gently as you might have liked, but you don't complain.

"I saw Historia in a crown." You start to shiver at the coolness on your heated face. "But I also saw Shiganshina." He stops meeting your eyes, waiting patiently for you to continue. "The whole regiment of scouts was there, most of them riding to their deaths." You gulp at the image that has taken over your mind. "So much blood, the beast titan..." Levi silences you, placing his finger over your lip to stop you from speaking.

"We'll talk to Erwin about it in the morning." He promises and continues to clean your face so that he doesn't get any dirt on the fresh sheets. At least that's what he tells himself.

"Captain?" You speak up, tired eyes following the movement of his hand. He looks up, the darkness making you breathless.

"Why are you so kind?" The question seems to take him by surprise, as he stops his movements, his eyes widening for a second until they form into slits. It's almost as if he's realized that this behavior is unlikely for him. At least with you.

"Tch, don't be stupid. I'm not doing this to be nice."

He explains, getting up to take the flirty cloth to his bathroom. "Then why..." But Captain Levi doesn't give you room to ask another question as he tucks you into the blanket.

"You need sleep, Cadet. Tomorrow's going to be exhausting, I can't have you tossing and turning." His voice is gruff as he closes the shades and the bathroom door roughly, leaving you alone in his bedroom. His room, his bed. You only seem to notice it now, now that you are fully awake and frightened by what you have seen. It makes you blush a deep red at the realization.

"Wait Captain..." He stops at your small voice, your eyes meeting in a haze.

"Please don't leave me alone. I can't be right now." It's the truth, you'd probably just get caught up in your darkness.

"And here I thought you were 15. Apparently, you are five." Angered by his harsh and mean words, you frown and pull the blanket a little higher. Noticing that it barely smells of him, you wonder if he cleans the sheets daily or hardly uses them at all.

"I'm 23." You remind him, or at least you think you are. You notice the side of his lips move up a little, but as quickly as it appeared it's gone.

"Do you know what you are asking of me, Cadet?" He asks as he steps closer to your surprised form, his arms crossed. You notice that his shirt is partially unbuttoned, revealing his collar. His sleeves are rolled up and you think you have never seen him so comfortable.

"You ask your Captain to stay with you so you can have a better night's rest." He concludes, scowling at the assumption he's just made, daring you to walk into his trap, but you don't give him the sick satisfaction.

"This is so unbecoming of you, Captain. Bringing a barely conscious girl into your personal barracks." You sneer, your eyes twinkling as you look up at him with a daring stare that seems to take his breath away for a moment.

"Unbecoming? Hm. Why do you think I brought you here, little Cadet?" You weren't expecting him to jump at your challenge, but rather to scold you for it. Biting your lips, you fidget under the white sheets that covered your nightgown from his endearing eyes. Your fingers play with the hem as you reply in a hushed tone.

"I believe there is some sort of rule against having your subordinate in your quarters, Captain." You tease softly, a smirk on your lips as you watch him narrow his eyes at you, his body tensing. His hands clench into fists. You wait for him to say something else, but instead he looks away. You sigh in relief and pull your legs closer to your chest, curling up into a ball and closing your eyes.

"Get some sleep, Cadet." He finally says, leaving your bed and soon the bedroom, closing the door behind him. Certainly not able to sleep, you try to distract yourself, debating with yourself why the Captain took such good care of you that night.

Attack on Prime The Future Anthology: Burying the Dead

Main Story

Halloween Anthology

Winter Anthology

Autobot Anthology

New Age Anthology

Okay everyone, since we are one chapter away from ending Attack on Prime, I have decided to add a new anthology that's more slice of life oriented. Since the Autobots, the humans from Earth, and the AOT crew are finally going to be spending some time interacting with one another, I thought that I would write an Anthology series about their shenanigans together. The first one is obviously going to be a little bit heavy, but the next ones should be a little bit light. So let's have some fun before wrapping up the story.

TW Burial. TW Blood

Erwin watched as Levi, sitting in his electric wheelchair, popped open the wine bottle and poured it out on the blood-stained ground in front of them. It was just the two of them at the sight of the final battle, a barren wasteland of giant footprints. Levi stated that he remembered the spot that Kenny was killed and wanted to pay tribute to the man. His actual remains were gone, blood being the only thing that existed. They weren't sure if the remained were gathered or picked off by birds.

Levi stopped pouring when there was only a little bit left before drinking the rest from the bottle. "This wine is garbage. Is this the one he really liked?"

"It was the one he would always steal," Erwin recalled.

"Well, he was a cheap man," Levi proclaimed.

"...Did you two talk when we were in the Paths?" Erwin asked.

"We did," Levi answered, "...we cried a little...didn't really make up though, but we came to an understanding. I was more elated to see my mom."

"What understanding was that?" Erwin asked.

"He cared," Levi replied, "He had a shit way of doing it...but if it wasn't for him, I would have died a long time ago. Just wish he didn't try to kill me."

Erwin hummed in response. "He did help keep my sanity."

"By annoying the shit out of you no doubt," Levi quipped.

"It runs in the family," Erwin smirked.

Levi let out a small chuckle. "Well." His smile faded, "Wherever he is, and wherever everyone else is...I hope their living good lives."

Meanwhile

Gabi, Colt, and Falco continued to cry in each other's arms, sitting in the city where Reiner had perished, according to Annie: Shinganshina. Gabi was crying the hardest, lamenting the loss of her cousin and not even getting the chance to say a proper goodbye to him. Meanwhile, Annie and Pieck were sitting a good distance away, side by side. Pieck's cane was resting on her shoulder.

"There's no real place to bury him," Pieck lamented, "Liberio's gone."

Annie couldn't help but scoff at that. "Eldians were never given burial rights."

"We can have them now," Pieck retorted, "Thanks to Optimus."

Annie sighed in defeat. "Sorry...I wasn't able to save him."

"Oh," Pieck hummed, "I thought you hated him."

"You saw us talking and making amends," Annie reminded, "A little messed up that he didn't bring Gabi into the Paths to say goodbye to her cousin."

Pieck hummed in agreement. "I should have confronted Primus about that. Why didn't he bring her in to allow her to say 'goodbye'?"

"Sounds like a pretty forgetful deity," Annie proclaimed.

"He had other priorities though," Pieck defended him, "...I did ask him about our families and whether or not they might be alive."

Annie couldn't help but feel guilty at Pieck's explanation. "And...?"

"He said he didn't see them in the Paths, but that a lot could have happened in those moments before he ended the power of the titans," Pieck explained, "I don't know if our families have survived, and I don't want to get their hopes up...or mine...but..." Tears started forming in Pieck's eyes. "God, I hope they did."

Annie hesitated for a moment, but slowly reached her hand out and placed it on top of Pieck's. Pieck flinched at the sensation, but didn't swat her hand away.

"...I acted selfishly and I'm sorry," Annie apologized.

"Don't be," Pieck reassured, "You had the opportunity to escape Marley. I would have taken that deal in a heartbeat too."

"But I don't deserve this," Annie confessed, "I don't even deserve to be alive. I-..."

"...You don't think you deserve it? Then earn it," Pieck commanded her, "We were given a second chance, Annie. We can't waste it."

The Next Day: Ragako

"Connie was my best friend," Sasha began her eulogy, "After my first day of training, after being called 'Potato Girl', I didn't think I'd make many friends in the Cadet Corps. Connie was the third person to come up to me, after Historia and Ymir. He started teasing me about the incident, so I made a bet with him on who could perform on balance training." Her eyes fell to the ground, "I don't remember who won, but...we became pretty close after that."

Sasha chuckled. "We'd always goof off or try to have fun during training. After Trost, I would have thought both of us would've run to the MPs, but us two idiots somehow ended up in the Survey Corps. We tried to make the best out of a horrible situation....Ragako is what killed him...and killed me too...He was the only surviving member of his village, and we all tried to help him pick up the pieces. We tried to give him hope. We tried to help him pick up the pieces. But even then, he still tried his best to smile."

Sasha looked behind her to see Connie's closed casket covered in a green cloak with the Survey Corps emblem. "You were my best friend. You were the brother I never had. You kept me happy and sane, and we looked out for each other. I hope one day that we can see each other again, we'll go through all sorts of crazy shenanigans together."

Sasha kissed her fingers before placing them on the covered casket. "Goodbye, Connie. I hope you're with your family."

As Miko played a melodic but somber tune on an acoustic guitar, Arcee picked up Connie's casket in her bipedal mode and gently lowered it into the hole they dug up at the center of the village. One by one, members of the Survey Corps dropped a single flower on top of the casket. Optimus then scooped up the dirt in his bipedal mode and filled up the hole, the Survey Corps performed their salute, with Arcee joining in as well. Meanwhile, Jack and Rafael performed the U.S. salute and Miko stopped playing the guitar to give everyone a moment of silence.

Sasha couldn't help but start crying in the silence, trying so desperately to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't. Jean reached out to her and hugged her, causing her to cry in his shoulder for comfort. Jean found himself starting to cry too, lamenting the fact that Connie was gone.

Jack noticed the way that Arcee was looking over at Sasha in shame before walking up to her. "You okay?"

"...I made a promise to her father that I was going to protect Sasha as best as I could," Arcee began, "But I should have done that for Connie too. I've seen the way he cared for his mom when she was still a titan, clinging onto that hope she would one day become a human again...but now all the people of Ragako are gone. And soon the village will be too."

"I'm not going to let that happen," Historia swore, "We're going to turn this place into a memorial, and do everything we can to keep the memories of the people that used to live here alive. They deserve that."

Sasha sniffed at that. "Thank you, Historia."

Armin turned his attention to Mikasa, who was now holding something in her arms. It was...it was the cat gift that she got from Hizuru for him. She was holding it with such love and care.

"Are you...going to take the gift back?" Armin asked.

Mikasa shook her head. "I'm going to give it to Sasha later."

Armin nodded at that.

"...I actually didn't know what to get him as a gift when I was in Hizuru," Mikasa confessed, "Kenshin was the one who decided on the gift. And I just lucked out, about Connie liking cats...I never knew him that well in life...not like Sasha did...and I regret that."

"Mikasa, it wasn't your fault," Armin insisted.

"I could have been a better friend," Mikasa declared before turning to him, "I'll be better. I promise."

Hanji rubbed the back of their neck in exhaustion, trying their best not to shed any more tears. They saw that Optimus was taking great care to pat down the dirt before walking up to him.

"How are you feeling?" Hanji asked.

"...I am managing," Optimus admitted.

"At least that's more honest." Hanji was relieved at his response, "At the very least, Connie will be the last soldier that died in a world of titans."

"I do hope that there is no more bloodshed in this time of peace," Optimus prayed.

"Me too," Hanji agreed, "...Hey, I know Megatron wasn't that close to Connie, but shouldn't he be here out of respect?"

"He informed me that he had another matter to attend to, and have a conversation long overdue," Optimus explained.

Willy stared off into the distance over the edge of the cliffside where Lara made her final stand. He was watching the sun set over the water, and felt the cold wind in his hair and on his face. He closed his eyes, trying to meditate and calm his mind, but all he could remember while being here was his sister running into the crowd to buy time for the people to flee.

"Dear." Willy felt a hand sneak into his own before clasping it. He turned to see his wife looking at him with concern.

"I'm fine, Victoria." Willy raised Victoria's hand up with hers and patted it. They both looked behind them to see some of the guards and even Ray there, trying to make some plans to build a memorial for Lara.

"Your father would be proud of you," Victoria reassured.

Willy sighed at that. "Lara was the one who restored the Tybur name. And here I am, still trying to play politics instead of forging an actual path for change...not like Optimus...or even-!"

The guards gasped in surprise, forcing Willy and Victoria to look back and gawk at the sight of Megatron transforming into his bipedal mode and dropping down right in front of them...holding a silver hammer.

"What are you doing here?!" Ray demanded.

Megatron didn't reply to him, and instead slammed the head of the hammer into the ground, he let go of the handle, and the hammer was able to stand on its own.

"What is this?" Victoria couldn't help but asked.

"Lara died a Warrior's death, so she will be honored as a Warrior," Megatron declared, "I...found this from a formidable warrior who fought in my line of work...I did have to clean it up first."

"That's...so sweet." Victoria was stunned as she approached him, "Thank you."

Megatron nodded in response before turning to Willy. "We need to talk."

Willy sighed in defeat. "Yeah, we do."

Moments later, Megatron had activated his holoform and was now looking at Willy face to face, making all of the other humans nervous. The silence was broken when Megatron sighed in defeat.

"I will let you hit me one time." Megatron held up a finger.

"E-excuse me?" Willy stuttered.

"It probably won't affect me that much, but I'm assuming that you have some pent-up aggression against-!" Megatron grunted when Willy sucker punched him in the jaw, causing him to stumble back in surprise.

"Dear!" Victoria exclaimed.

Willy tried to ignore the pain in his fist, not used to actually engaging in a fight, but the pain was too much and he began to yell, shaking his hand to ease the pain.

"Damn it! I thought the human forms were hollow or something!" Willy yelled at Megatron.

Megatron rubbed his cheek. "The holoforms are a little bit more complicated than that."

"Oh for fuck's sake, I don't care about that!" Willy swore, taking everyone off guard, "I thought you were my friend! I let you into my home and let you train my sister! I was stupid to give you government secrets and research and now you want to play nice like nothing is wrong!"

Willy rubbed his knuckles and hissed in pain. "I mean...was any of it real?!"

"...if it wasn't, I wouldn't have saved you the day you declared war," Megatron declared, "I would have let you die."

"Well then I'm sure you were somehow tracking me on the train to get close to me-!"

"That was by chance," Megatron cut him off, "Meeting you was strictly by chance and I just played my cards right. Honestly, I'm surprised I even got far."

Willy grimaced. "You know why you got so far with me."

Megatron narrowed his eyes at Willy before closing them.

"Part of me should blame you, when I should just be blaming myself," Willy admitted, "I was just so happy to finally have someone treat me like an equal, I-!" Willy gritted his teeth, "But it's clear I don't even know you at all. And now my sister's dead, and did you even know that she liked you?!"

"Yes, she told me, and I told her bluntly that she was not my type," Megatron answered.

"Oh, as a cover no doubt because how could you tell her you were the-!"

"No I was being candid with her. She was too quiet and reserved for my tastes," Megatron answered truthfully.

Willy's mouth hung open at that. "W-what?"

"I might have lied about my identity to you, but many of the things I said to you were not false," Megatron explained, "I even tried to find subtle ways to influence you to achieve peace or even open communications to Paradis. Initially, I didn't think I would care about you, or humanity, now I'm one of its saviors."

Megatron looked back at the hammer. "And so is Lara."

Willy's expression grew sullen at that. He should be happy Lara restored the Tybur name, but he would rather have his sister here. "I heard you talked to her in her final moments. That you told her that she was formidable warrior."

"I did," Megatron confirmed, "I might have been obscure about my origins as Matthew, but I did come from a place of violence and bloodshed. Warriors and gladiators were survivors. They were respected. Lara earned my respect."

"...Thank you for the tribute," Willy could only muster, "I still don't forgive you."

"I'd expect nothing less," Megatron accepted with a shrug, "But I am certain we will be in touch."

Willy watched the holoform disappear, scaring everyone else in the process. Willy managed to catch a glimpse of Megatron's alt mode flying north, no doubt heading back to the island.

(And we are off with The Future Anthology. I do have a list of ideas, but you are more than willing to submit your recommendations for this one. The next one will hopefully be about Halloween. If not then Día de los Muertos.)

[rea-grimm]

Demon's Creed - Levi

Bright orange smoke began to billow from the seal, momentarily enveloping the entire room. Fortunately, it didn't choke you or sting your eyes. 

As the smoke began to slowly dissipate, you finally got a view of the figure inside the circle. To your surprise, it was Levi, who looked just as startled as you. 

You, however, were startled by something else entirely. The demon had horns growing out of its head that resembled sea coral, and behind it, a long snake tail wagged nervously from side to side. 

"What's going on here?" He asked, running his gaze from the Templars to you. 

One of the head templars took the words, and it was the first time you'd seen him try to get anyone's attention. The demon, however, was not impressed. Not even when he presented his proposal for cooperation, where he'd lend them his skills and they'd return the favor. 

"What about Y/N?" Levi asked instead. 

"You guys know each other?" Your father spoke up. 

The demon was about to reply, but before he could find the right words, the Grandmaster nodded his head at the guards. They walked over to you, lifted you to your feet, and one of them put a gun to your head. 

"I'm sure you and I can work this out, right? Her life for your help," the Templar grinned smugly.

That pissed Levi off. He didn't say anything in response but you could see the anger in his eyes. For a long time the room was silent, until a sort of rumbling could be heard that slowly grew in intensity. 

Soon there were wet spots on the ceiling that began to drip water and eventually water began to splash from all the cracks and the cherry on the cake was when the ceiling collapsed and water began to rush in, flooding the entire room.

You were just in time to hold your breath. As the ceiling collapsed, and under all that water, the seal that held the demon in place was broken. He moved under the water as if he'd been born there. He swam up to you, took your form and kissed you. 

It was your first kiss, and it certainly wasn't how you imagined it. However, it wasn't just any kiss, as you felt a sort of tingling sensation, and when he pulled away, you realized you could breathe freely underwater. 

You looked up at him and even underwater you could clearly see his cheeks and ears flushed like crayfish. He took one hand around your waist before the other strained into space, and a different light seal emerged from the tip of his fingers. 

Several bubbles bubbled up around you before a giant sea serpent appeared in front of you. Lothan. Levi gave him a simple task. To destroy everything here and leave no one behind. Although it wasn't that hard, as some of the Templars were already swimming belly up. 

He was still holding you when he created a new portal for the demon to take you back to base. He carried you all the way to the infirmary, where he stayed with you the entire time you were being treated.

When the doctor assured you that you were fine, you turned to Levi with the question you wanted to ask him. But before you could open your mouth to ask, Levi mumbled something unintelligible and ran away, leaving you alone. 

You didn't stay there alone for long, though, as Diavalo and Lucifer came after you. They calmly explained to you the situation regarding the demon and why they kept it a secret all this time too. 

When you asked them your questions, they gave you two choices. You could stay there with him and continue to live with them, or they could arrange for you to have special protected housing where you could be away from the Templars. They knew it wasn't an easy decision, so they gave you time to think about it. 

After that, you were left alone again. I mean, sure, the rest of the brothers came to see you and make sure you were okay. 

But now it was late in the evening, you were in bed and couldn't sleep. You were still thinking about these few days and especially about today and Levi.

You were jolted out of your thoughts by the beep of your phone when you got a text from Levi. He asked if you could come see him. 

You didn't even have to decide on that and texted him back that you'd come. You climbed out of bed, threw the bedspread over your back and made your way to his room. 

You were about to knock on his door when you heard him talking to someone. You knew it was rude but you couldn't help but listen for a moment. You were guessing who he might have been talking to when you realized he was talking to himself. He was practicing his speech. 

You smiled at that before you finally knocked. You heard a thump from the room followed by some mumbling and finally Levi opened the door, his face all red. 

"Y/N..." he began to mumble and you couldn't understand a word he said. You could see his plan was falling apart and now he was starting to panic. 

"Levi, calm down. Breathe," you said, taking his hands to calm him down. 

"You... you're not scared? " he finally stammered. 

"No, how could I be?" You retorted, shaking your head. 

"S-seriously? You really are the prettiest, strongest..." he began without looking at you, telling you everything he admired about you. 

His words completely moved you, you pulled him closer before pressing your lips to his in a kiss. 

Levi paused and seemed to jam his internal computer before it completely melted like butter.

When the kiss ended, his face was completely red and he couldn't look you in the eye. Instead, he buried his head in your shoulder.

"Don't do this to me. It's a trap..." he mumbled into your shoulder and hugged you too.

Do Not Touch

MC

Thankfully, no one else breaks the first rule when we enter the only building in the field, but we still have to deal with a toddler version of Levi, which is not fun in the slightest.

"I don't regret turning around," he announces. "I did it for Ruri-chan. Go ahead, laugh at me if you want!"

"You really shouldn't have said that," I reply, glancing over at a silently chuckling Satan.

"Look, I can't help it," Satan says as he looks back at me. "Levi's horns are nearly the size of his entire body. I'm surprised he hasn't toppled over yet."

"Think about how Levi feels," Beel quietly responds. "I'm sure he doesn't like being a little D."

"Thank you, Beel!" Levi exclaims. "I can't believe you'd actually stand up for me like that!"

He's gonna laugh, isn't he?

Right. I almost forgot she was in there.

Oh, probably. That's what siblings do.

Lucifer never told me that he had brothers.

I really need to ask her. Not now, but soon. She certainly knows quite a bit about Lucifer.

From my understanding, they started off as brothers in arms, but then they slowly began seeing each other as an actual family the longer they lived together at the House of Lamentation.

Thirteen stays quiet long enough for me to take in my surroundings. It seems as though we've entered a giant library. Bookcases stretch up from the floor to the rather high ceilings, and all of the shelves are filled with various texts.

You have a rather impressive collection.

Thank you. This library contains every book that has ever been written across the three realms.

How long did it take you to get everything?

The books just appear on their own. I just make sure everything's organized.

Interesting.

"I found the next message!" Mammon shouts. All of us head over to the shelf he's standing in front of, and sure enough, it's written in blood across the books sitting on top of it.

Why did you write the no touching rule on perfectly good books?

Oh, those are decoys. The real books are in my room. I wouldn't dare ruin any of the actual texts, for I always ever receive one copy of them, and sometimes it's the only copy in existence.

Couldn't you at least use paper and pencil to write your messages?

That wouldn't fit my aesthetic.

You're strange.

So are you.

Touché.

"Mammon, you've got something on your wrist," Beel states.

"Huh? What're you talkin' about?" Mammon pushes his right jacket sleeve up, revealing a strange mark on his wrist. "When did this get here?!"

"Let me see," Satan replies, gently grabbing Mammon's arm to take a closer look at the mark. He develops a solemn look on his face as he gets a second opinion from Lucifer.

"What's going on?" Mammon asks. "Why do you guys look so serious? Surely it's just some ink that's rubbed off on my wrist, right?"

"I'm afraid not," Lucifer answers. "You've been branded with Midas's Crest."

Oh, he's screwed.

You know about the crest?

If it's the same Midas that got cursed with the ability to turn anything into gold and lost his own daughter as a result, then yes, I know about the crest.

Did I pick the right person?

Oh, so Thirteen put the mark on Mammon's wrist. How cunning.

Mammon is the Avatar of Greed, so I would say yes.

I kind of figured. He seems like the type to think that having Midas's power would be a gift, not a curse.

He's celebrating right now.

What an idiot.

Mammon doesn't have much common sense.

Right after Mammon touches one of the books and transforms into a little D, I hear a faint noise. At first, I simply dismiss it as an illusion, but then it occurs again, louder this time.

And then I see it.

Shit. I thought I made sure to put her in her kennel before I left for vacation.

The cat hops up on one of the tables, making herself very much visible to Satan.

"Don't," I warn him.

The cat meows, making eye contact with Satan.

"Satan." Lucifer must also see the look on his brother's face.

Satan steps towards the cat, and all hell breaks loose. Lucifer and I sprint over to Satan and attempt to pull him away from Thirteen's cat, but he's fighting tooth and nail to make sure he gets to pet her.

"Let me go!" he yells, causing the others to look over at us.

"You can't pet it!" I yell back. "The rule says--"

"I don't care!" Satan shoves me away, and I end up stumbling into Beel and Solomon. A low groan follows, and I see Lucifer on the ground, holding his stomach. Satan must have elbowed him.

He really loves cats, doesn't he?

That's an understatement.

𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝒀𝑶𝑼- 𝑯𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑬 𝑿 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑬𝑹

A/N: hello everyone! my awesome beautiful talented gorgeous breathtaking friend ( @hangespublicist ) has come up with this wonderful idea and i had to make it come to life!! it shattered my heart in many ways but it’s what i do best. the character does belong to her and it is her oc!! such a beautiful character btw i love writing for clara!! i hope you all enjoy as much as i did writing this. thank you all for reading and supporting!

WC: 952

CREDITS: all credits for story idea and clara (an oc) go to @hangespublicist !! go show this beautiful angel some love !!

      “The titans are headed this way.” Clara nervously played with the edge of her shirt.

        “Yeah, I can see that.” “Hardly.” Clara giggles. “Hey watch it, freak lover. My hand still works.” Levi playfully threatened. “You have to let me change those bandages soon.” Clara mentioned. The blood might seep through soon if she didn’t, and she didn’t want to keep the same dirty bandages on. 

       “I did good, right?” Hange appeared from behind Levi. “Yeah, you did. You did everything I taught you with the minimal equipment you had.” Clara complimented Hange’s work. Hange lightly blushed, a smile peeking through. “Levi, do you mind if I talk to you for a second?” Hange waved him over. Clara waved them off before walking to the edge of the stone path, looking down at the trembling waters. 

        It wasn’t titans that scared her. It never was. She dealt with dead people and worked with blood for a living, of course some giants wouldn’t scare her. It was losing her dear friends that scared her. She already had to patch up to many of her students and close friends. It was getting worse by the second. She was putting her own friends in body bags. Luckily, Levi’s injury was bad, but nothing Clara couldn’t fix. 

           Hange saw Levi’s face form into an angry, heartbroken expression. How could they leave him? Leave Clara? Leave them in such a vulnerable position? But he knew it was needed. This was Hange’s purpose. 

        “What are you gonna do about her, eh? You can’t just leave her here.” Levi held back how he truly felt. He had to be strong, for himself, for Hange, and for Clara. Hange just smiled, a small giggle leaving their lips. 

           “I’ve got my ways with her.” Hange shaking their head. Hange sighed, looking up. “You understand, right Levi? My turns come at last.” They say. Levi didn’t reply. “I’m giddy with the desire to make a cool exit.” Their eyes shine, smile growing by the second.

       “Don’t stop what i’ve got going.” Hange told him. Levi said nothing, but instead pressed his hard fist against their heart. “Dedicate your heart.” He muttered. Hange laughs, looking down at the floor behind Levi.. “That’s the first time i heard you say that.” 

         “But you promise me, Levi…” Hange trailed off, hand clenching over his hand. “You promise me you’re gonna keep my Clara safe.” Hange whispered. “With my life.” Levi muttered through his teeth. 

        “Hey, Clara!” Hange called her over. Clara turned around, wondering why Hange was all geared up. Were there new orders? “Hey!” Clara smiled. “What did Levi say? Why are you all geared up?” Clara pushed her loose hairs to the side. 

      “Nothing at all! Just wanted to talk.” Hange scratched their neck. “About them? They’re pretty big. Bigger than I thought.” Clara shivered at the thought. Hange took off their cape, wrapping it around Clara. “What’s this for?” Clara looked up at Hange. “To keep you away from the titans, silly.” Hange poked at Clara’s cheek. 

      “Alright, something’s up. Spit it out, Hange.” Clara crossed her arms. “I just wanted you to see how cool I look.” Hange was really trying to make this easy for their lover. But it wasn’t. Hange had such a big spot for Clara in their heart. No matter how many times Clara would scold Hange for throwing Armin off the roof or testing Eren to his limit, Clara would always love Hange.

        “Cool doing what? C’mon stop being like that, tell me what’s up.” Clara placed a hand on her hip. She had gone into serious mode. One where if you messed with her she’d get pissed off. Hange smiled at this, placing their hands on Clara’s face. Hange’s lips touched Clara’s, molding perfectly into each other's lips.

       Hange pressed their forehead against Clara’s, kissing her nose, before kissing the small freckles on her skin. The same ones Hange used to draw shapes on before kissing each freckle individually. Hange pressed one last kiss on Clara’s lips, to which she finally understood. 

        Her grip tightened on Hange’s wrist, her eyes now glossy. “Stop it.” Clara shook her head. “It’s everything I've worked for, Clara. You know that.” “Hange, stop it right now. You’re out of your fucking mind.” Hange finally freed themself from Clara’s grip, backing up. 

        “I love you.” Hange waved and laughed, before running off into the sky. “Hange, no!” Clara ran towards Hange’s direction. Strong arms wrapped around her, grunts leaving her lips. “Let me go! Levi, please. I can't lose anyone else, Levi! Please!” Clara fell into a sobbing mess.

       “Hange, please!” She cried out, one arm reaching out. “Come back, please! It’s not to late, Hange please.” Their familiar scent blew with the wind. It was from the cape wrapped around Clara. “God fucking damnit!” Clara embraced Levi. He put one arm around her, holding her up. She sunk down, tears staining his shirt. All Levi could do was sit there with her crying in his lap. 

       “How could I be so blind? So stupid?” Clara shook her head. Levi rubbed her back softly. “We have to get on the flying boat.” He helped her up. Levi rushed them to the aircraft, settling Clara onto the seat beside him. Everyone around her was in distress, upset by Hange’s choice.  “Hange.” She whimpered under her breath, fingernails digging into her face. “Oh, Hange.” Was all she could say. 

       Yet, Hange wished nothing more than for Clara to hear their last words. “For you, my Clara.” Hange said, with such pride. With such love for Clara. For the love of their life. Clara grasped the edge of their cape. “For you, Hange.” 

[this-is-krikkit]

i've been rewatching the animated version of chapter 132 (for fanfic writing reasons at first... and then it got out of hands) and the music placement and use hit me so hard i decided to rant about it.

so, here is the scene (cut so it fits the tumblr size requirements, ugh), and under the read more link, a needlessly long and detailed list of parallels i've made between the music and the moment of the scene it played on. enjoy ig??

first off, i had to cut it but there's a distinct switch in the music when Floch dies and the Rumbling gets too close, violin and choir rising to convey the gravity of the situation. they go on as Armin, then Reiner, offer to stay behind and slow the Colossals down

the soundtrack goes crescendo when Hange interrupts our two blonde wannabee martyrs, picking up just as the wind gloriously shit sorry i'll limit my hange thirst in this post lifts up their cape, and the rhythm of the violin accelerates

the singing stops altogether and the melody gets slower and lower as Hange designates Armin as next Commander, leaving room for the significance of that statement that effectively cements their decision to go through with their plan

the tenors/bass voices start up again, louder than before, as Hange tells Armin they leave everything in his hands, and so does the Violin as they make their "supremely cool exit" and their Levi related joke. (so at this point, the violin theme is really starting to feel like it mirrors Hange's emotions, or at least the ones they're letting show. stay tuned for much, much more on that later)

strings then leave way for only low solemn chanting, fitting Hange's determined steps as they walk towards Levi

the second they stop and reply to him calling them out, everything STOPS. well, almost everything: the bass drum remains, punctuating the sound of the Rumbling far away, as they try to hide their feelings and beg him to let them get away with it

then, even the drumming stops as Levi lets that request sink in, a suspenseful moment when you wonder whether or not he's going to grant their wish and only the rumbling can be heard in the distant background. and still, when Levi says That Line and puts his fist on their chest (roughly when the bass drum would have hit, 3 bars after it last rang), no music. nothing that could disrupt this loaded moment between them, except for the heavy footsteps of the Titans that will cost Hange their life.

and then, when you think it can't get quieter, when the silence couldn't get more oppressive... even the Rumbling's noise fades away. completely. and as Hange forces on a smile and delivers their very last punchline to Levi, there's no sound but that of their voice and their steps -and soon, their gear propelling them away

bauklötze starts playing as they take off, backing them up as they face their opponents

and you know who makes a surprise reappearance right as Hange starts struggling with only one thunderspear left, grunting and flying between giant deadly legs, trying to find the best shot that'll give their friends the best chance at making it out of this alive? that's right, fellas. it's that damn Sir Violin back at it again with the suspicious timing

the intensity and height of the violin's pitches then start following Hange's vocal reactions like cues, and it picks up its pace right when the plane is ready to get moved (do we need yet another post making the parallel between that damned flying boat and Hange's character? we don't. am i going to keep talking about it in following points like it's just something the whole fandom agrees on? you betcha.)

our four stringed pal's notes keep going higher and higher, following Hange's movements as they slay their way through the Colossals

you know how high violins can get? those high notes that are so sharp they'd sound shrill if they were even an 8th of a tune off-key? that's how nearly unbearably high it gets right when Hange's cape catches fire

together, Hange and the plaintive violin (that so effectively translates their growing agony of getting slowly but surely burned alive) go on fighting for the next few seconds

until that ultimate moment, when Hange turns into a literal ball of fire. and you know what happens then, musically speaking? take a guess. take a wild fucking guess, my friends.

that's right. the violin dies off not unlike Hange themself fuck i'm sorry i had to

and then the plane takes off as the Alliance mourns their former leader who's slowly falling to the ground, and the violin as well as the singing voice both come back from the dead to accompany those opposing sights

interestingly, Levi speaking is the one other moment that interrupts the instrument again... as he addresses Hange.

...

you thought i was done, didn't you?

almost. but i can't not mention this, because it's oh so fitting, (unfortunately i couldn't include it here or the video would have been too heavy, but here's a link to that scene so you know i'm not making shit up)

because, see, then we get to see Hange waking up in the afterlife (or a very powerful neurotransmitter-fueled hallucination or [insert whatever hc floats your flying boat here]), and there's not a hint of music. not until Erwin confirms to Hange that they're done, dead, dunzo (get that ref?? where my parks people at)

and then the Cello, Violin's goth/angsty/chronically depressed cousin picks up as Hange realizes it's all over

of course they immediately shake off the sadness and joke instead, because that's what Hange does, isn't it? and as they do so, our overdramaric friend Violin makes a witty, playful comeback to match the happy front they're putting on -and say goodbye to us on Hange's behalf.

Prologue | Previous chapter

[AN: Before you begin!!! I've decided that since there will be a lot of MATURE and TRIGGERING content in this story. I am going to begin it with a bold 'X' so that you know that there will be 18+ content that is within the coming chapters, you shouldn't miss it. I'm sure a lot of you will appreciate the smut, though ;p  By the way...! Our girl called 'Asuna' is YOU!! It's easier for me to write if she (you) has a name...if you don't prefer that name or her appearance, change it to your own! Also not proof read as of April 2024, but grammatical changes may be made. And without further ado..]

X :)

The guards continued to stand next to Asuna and Levi's bedroom doors as if they were afraid something was going to break into the room. She looked over and felt rather concerned. She wasn't an idiot, she could tell something was off, and she felt like Dana knew about it. 

"What is going on?" Asuna asks while standing up, still eyeing the guards that were guarding her door for dear life. The guards nodded at their Queen and closed the door softly, locking it once again. 

They didn't answer her, as if they were instructed not to say anything to her. It angered her that she was getting secrets kept from her. Normally she wouldn't mind, but if there are guards standing at her door and her personal handmaiden acting off about the situation, everyone would be curious. She looks at Dana and glares, trying to get an answer out of the young handmaiden. Considering Asuna was going to be the new Queen within the week, Dana wouldn't dream of disappointed her, so she answered her silent question as to what was going on and why everyone around her seemed so tense. 

"There has been threats made against the palace..." Dana says after a couple minutes of silence. "Levi doesn't take threats lightly, so that's why everyone is alert right now. It shouldn't be anything to worry about though!" she finishes. 

Asuna looks at her with some confusion and nods lightly. 

"What kind of threats?" she asks.

"I've told you all I know," Dana replies. "I promise, Your Grace, if I knew something I would tell you." 

There it is again. 'Your Grace...' I'm never going to get used to that, am I? 

Asuna walks back to her side of the king sized bed and sits down, glancing at the balcony and looking at the pretty blue sky that stood above her inside the large castle she was in, she was ready to explore it. Even if Levi would keep her locked in this room, she still wanted to get used to her surroundings and the giant castle she was living in, but everyone else was right. If there were threats against the castle, or her, or Levi, she was glad that whatever those threats were were not being ignored, and that everyone was handling it to the best of their ability. She secretly appreciated all the protection she was getting, but if this protection means being locked in her room all day with nobody but her handmaidens to talk to, then she didn't want it. 

Dana slowly walked toward her and stood above her smiling. She put her hand in hers and squeezed it, realizing that Asuna needed this right now, after feeling so alone and unsure about everything going on around her. Asuna smiled back and took the stranger's hand in hers, realizing that if she was going to trust anyone around her at this point, it should be her. She suddenly looks back to the events of last night and starts to get emotional. 

How is any of this going to work? Am I going to find any sort of happiness here? Or is it always going to be like this? I don't want to feel like this. I don't want to be unhappy.. I deserve better.

She remembers Dana's comment on how her relationship with Levi will get easier, but it's hard to believe that when nothing seems to be going right when it came to the way she feels about him, and the way he treated her just a few hours prior. 

About an hour or two passed with her and Dana talking to each other and getting to know each other as regular people. - She had offered Asuna so many things that she might want. Such as some snacks, drinks, towels, new clothes, even a glass of wine at one point. She was nervous about saying yes and acting so needy, but knowing she would soon be the Queen, she knew she might have to say yes to things she wants or needs at one point or another. 

They continued talking under a large knock was heard at the door which made Asuna jump. Dana smiled at her and called out to whoever was at the door to come in. Exasperatingly, Hange barged in by herself and saw Asuna sitting there confused, and obviously still unsure about everything around her. Hange smiled and approached her, while Dana rolled her eyes at Hange.

"Asuna!" The excited Scout yelled at her and smiled. "You're still okay with me calling you by your first name... right?!"

Asuna smiled up at her unwillingly and stood up, she nodded and greeted her with grace. 

"Hange, it's good to see you again!" She responded. "May I ask what took so long?"

Jeez... I'm already starting to sound so stuck up and spoiled... I need to keep my cool and try to be nicer and not so demanding.. But damn... I've been wondering where she was for hours...

Hange looked at her with her eyes widened, she giggled nervously and shrugged it off, stood next to her and put her hand on her shoulder. 

"Just some military business!" Hange responded. "Nothing to worry about!"

When Hange responded, Asuna glanced over at Dana to see she was still sitting there at the table they were talking at, looking stressed and scared, but still smiled regardless at her new Queen. Asuna brushed it off and nodded, wondering what she should say next. She was never really the shy type of girl. She had always said what came to her mind without worrying about what anyone would think of her. She thought for the first time in her life, she was shy and speechless. 

"Anyway!" Hange continued. "Are you ready for me to show you around your new home?!"

Asuna nodded almost immediately. She never thought she'd be more ready to see the castle as she was right now. 

"I was so scared I'd be locked in this room forever." 

Hange's eyes widened as she glared.  "Levi locked you in here?! Are you serious?!"

"I wish I wasn't" She responded.

"That little-" Hange stopped herself from saying anything more. Asuna could see the anger in her eyes at realizing Levi had locked her in the bedroom as if she was some prisoner. She signed and looked down at the ground then glanced over at Dana, who had the same expression. It's almost as if these two read her mind, she was happy to know that they didn't agree with Levi's behavior, but at the same time, knew they couldn't do anything about it. He was the King after all.

Asuna chuckled a bit, trying to hide the conflicting feelings she felt deep inside her. Let's just hope that Hange or anyone else can try to talk to Levi, if he was planning on locking me inside this room 24/7, after all. 

"It doesn't matter..." Asuna lies, looking down at the ground. "I'm sure it'll all be okay..." 

"I love your confidence!" Hange smiles and sits up. "Are you ready to see your new home?!"

Asuna nods and gets up with her, very excited to leave this room finally. She's only been in this room for 12 hours, but to her, it felt like years. 

The tour around the castle with Hange was amazing, the castle was absolutely beautiful. It has gorgeous white painted walls with velvet carpeting around the long hallways. Hange showed her all of the great views from the balconies that surrounded the palace, every balcony had an amazing view of Stohess, which was the city in which Levi chose to stay due to his history of growing up beneath it, his uncle lived there too when he was King as well, so he just decided to stay there- despite him hating it most of the time. 

Hange showed Asuna all of the offices that belonged to the higher up military officers. She saw Erwin, who she admired well due to his empathy towards her situation. He smiled and waved at her, seeing a sort of kindness in him that she saw in Hange as well, but not Levi. Hange also showed her Levi's office and offered if she wanted to go in and see him, but she shook her head and said she'd rather not, trying to avoid him truthfully.  

Same with other officers, such as Miche Zacharius, Nanaba, and Levi's so called special elite squad in the Scout Regiment, Petra, Gunther, Eld, and Oruo. All of these people seemed super nice and welcoming, bowing to their new Queen and attempting to establish a good relationship with her. One thing she just couldn't wrap her head around was, seeing all of these people, but Levi was not in sight. She hasn't seen him since he left her this morning. She also noticed that guards and other military officers were running around her, in a rush or something. As if something was happening. She remembered well about some sort of threats that were being made, it aggravated her that nobody was telling her what threats were happening, maybe that's why Levi was not seen. 

The last area in the castle that Hange introduced to her was the throne room of the castle, it was the largest room that she had seen, she felt so tiny when she walked in there for the first time. Asuna's eyes widen, as she sees the large room with a single throne standing above marble plated stairs and large windows behind it, shining light on her face that made her mouth hang open in awe, it was so beautiful. 

"As you can see, there is only one throne." Hange breaks Asuna out of her trance on how gorgeous the throne room was. "Levi never sits in it though, I think I've only seen the man sit in it twice or so since I've known him..." 

"Why doesn't he sit in it?" Asuna looks up at Hange, genuinely curious. 

"Hmmm, not sure!" She responds. "The truth is.. Levi never wanted to be King... He mainly did it out of duty, and the fact that his uncle abdicated." 

Asuna was intrigued. She knew little to nothing of King Levi's past or how he came to be the King, and how he rose to power despite supposedly Levi living underground for the majority of his childhood. Asuna wanted to ask more, she cursed herself for being curious about all of it, and mainly what she was forced to be involved with. Ignoring her curiosity, she looks around the throne room, admiring it and seeing the main picture of her new life as a Queen.

Suddenly, a man she had never seen before with brown hair and a bull cut runs up to Hange.

"What is it, Moblit?" Hange asks the man. 

Moblit bows at Asuna as he whispers something in Hange's ear. Hange sighs as she looks up, trying not to cause Asuna to think anything was actually wrong. 

"Sorry, Your Grace!" Hange says. "There is some other business I need to tend to right now!"

Asuna nods and smiles back at her. 

"Would you let me escort you back to your room?"

"I think I remember the way back up there, I'll be okay." She responds. 

"Sorry, Your Grace. But I need to have at least someone escort you back, whether or not you know the way back!" 

"What? Why?" Asuna asks, trying not to sound agitated at her. Hange was being so kind and welcoming, it wouldn't be fair of her to be rude just because of an inconvenience. Until now Asuna always felt so independent, basically doing everything herself for as long as she could remember, now in the matter of a day, everything changed. 

"For right now, Levi insists that you be guarded and escorted." Hange responds, being honest with her. Asuna wanted to ask why again, but there was no reason to, instead she asked something else. 

"What is going on, Hange-san?" Asuna asks as guards walk around her, waiting for her so they can take her back to her room. "Why does everything seem so tense? Is it always like this?"

Hange sighs and gives her a slight smile. "As Dana said earlier, there are some threats against the castle right now. We need to be cautious and protect yo-"

"What threats? What is happening?" Asuna interrupted. "Please, tell me." 

"Sorry, Your Gra-"

"It's Asuna." 

"Sorry, Asuna." Hange corrected herself. "I'm sure Levi will tell you, eventually."

Asuna sighs in annoyance. Can someone please just tell me what the hell is going on?! I feel like secrets are being kept from me. I hope this isn't a regular thing...

Hange waves her hand, smiles, and bows as she leaves with Moblit. She turns around to see guards standing before her, waiting for her to take herself back to the bedroom, or more like a dungeon, she thought. 

The guards escort her back to her room as they bow, closing the door before locking it once again. Asuna tries to unlock the door but it was no use, she was stuck in there again. 

She could see that the sun was about to go down, with no sign of Levi since the morning. Dana and a few other hand maidens had offered to help her out of her dress, but she insisted on doing it herself. Undoing the corset of her dress, she looks in her new wardrobe and sees several dresses that weren't there before, including a few nightgowns. 

She wanted to go through all of the pretty dresses and night gowns that were given to her, as well as explore more of the room, especially the huge bookcase full of books that were sure to be good reads. If she was going to be locked in this room for who knows how long, she was looking forward to at least some sort of entertainment. Despite her curiosity on wanting to browse around her new shared bedroom with Levi, all she could think about was how exhausted she was. 

The lack of sleep she had the night before was starting to get to her, she felt her eyes closing up as everything around her started to look blurry. Perhaps things would work out better if she tried to get some decent rest, but first, she needed to shower and clear her head.

A few hours later, Levi had finally come back to the bedroom. It was probably almost midnight, locking the door behind him as he saw Asuna's gorgeous figure lying down on her side of the bed. The poor girl, she was utterly exhausted and overwhelmed, what he did to her the night before definitely didn't help with that either, but he didn't care. 

He takes off his expensive blazer and puts it on his chair, unbuttoning a few buttons from his shirt to get more comfortable. He walks towards her, slowly, incase she was awake he didn't want to startle her. He sits down beside her and admires how pretty she was. She was passed out, completely asleep. Water droplets from her hair and her body making her skin glisten. She smelt so good, she must have been so tired that she didn't even have the strength or the thought of changing into a nightgown. Instead, a towel was wrapped around her, covering her body. How foolish of you. He thought and chuckled to himself. 

"If you really wanted me to keep my hands off you, you would have tried harder to hide yourself. Instead, you fall asleep with nothing but a towel covering your body, what a silly little brat you are." He said to himself quietly, not loud enough to wake her. 

He smiles softly before brushing a strand of hair from her face, admiring her pretty features as she slept. He wanted to stay there forever, just watching his pretty little wife-to-be sleep, but he didn't. He couldn't get the thought of her tied to the bed once more out of his head. Perhaps, he let the intrusive thoughts win. 

Asuna suddenly woke up minutes later, it takes her a few minutes to get out of her sleeping trance. She tries to move, but soon discovers that she can't move her wrists. She wakes up almost immediately, looking up to see that her wrists were tied to the head board once more. Completely naked, she gasps and tries to control her breathing as she panics for a moment, until looking up to see Levi, naked as well with his large cock hanging out, standing right above her. 

"Levi- what?!... What the fuck are you doing?!" She yells, but right as she tries to protest, he covers her mouth with his hand. 

"Shhh." He whispers. Kissing her forehead as he leans against her. 

"You shouldn't have fallen asleep with nothing but a light towel covering you..." He answers. "Maybe you do want this after all..." 

He takes his hand away from her mouth. She wanted to cry again, but she tried to be brave because she knew she was stronger than this. She wanted to try to show him that she was tough. She tries to break free, but the rope tying her wrists to the bed seemed to be much tighter than last time.

He was none too gentle as he suddenly pushes two fingers inside of her, feeling her wetness. She moans and arches her back again, making his cock twitch as she tightened up. He pumps in and out, moaning as well as he doesn't take his eyes off her flushed face. He moves his left hand up to cup her breast, pinching her nipple until she's crying out. 

Asuna doesn't say anything. She doesn't protest. All she can let out was helpless moans as he continued to finger her faster, curling them to the spot where he knew would send her flying in whispers and moans. He kisses her lips, as he moves to kiss all over her face, her neck, and her chest, moving down to swirl his tongue around her nipples, hardening them as she shook from his intense fingering of her cunt. 

She could swear as she saw him feeling around her body that he was smiling down at her, grinning as she attempts to struggle, but her wrists bound to the headboard of their bed was keeping her from moving a muscle. His muscular body was sitting in between her legs, too strong for her to push him away as he continued to play with her pussy and her large tits. He continued to finger her, rub her clit at a fast pace, all while moaning and smiling down as she attempted to hide that she was starting to enjoy this. Moaning uncontrollably, he grinned at her as he could feel her getting wetter and wetter, breaking the silence, Levi speaks. 

"Hmm," He moans as he continues to kiss her neck. "You enjoying the way I touch you? Feel yourself tightening up around my fingers?" 

"Shut...-" She attempts to say between moans.

"Sorry, baby..." He switches to rubbing her clit faster than before, causing her to tense up and moan louder. "I didn't catch that." 

"Shut up!" She yells at him. "Is there a reason why you need to tie me up...? You son of a bitch?!"

He laughs softly at her comment, rubbing her clit some more. After a few moments, she squirts all over his fingers, feeling her cunt getting wetter and wetter as she comes down from her high. He groans some more, admiring how beautiful she was despite her face being on fire with humiliation. He grins softly as he puts his fingers into his mouth, tasting her sweetness. He sits up on his knees, still looking down at her helpless form underneath him. To her surprise, he begins to untie her wrists from the headboard, loosing the knots as he throws the rope to the side. 

Though, to his surprise, she doesn't try to get away. She remains underneath him, rubbing her wrists to try to get rid of the small red marks around them. He grabs her wrists again, she gasped thinking he is going to hold her down again, instead he kisses the small red marks around her wrists, easing the pain. Without meaning to, she blushes a bit. 

Asuna tries to relax, attempting to accept the fact this was going to happen. To be fair, she would have preferred to have sex with him right now without being restrained, she would rather just hold him tightly and try to pretend like it all actually meant something to him. 

"Good girl." He says quietly, kissing her on the lips again. Holding her soft face in his hands, he admires her gorgeous face, looking up at him with her pretty eyes, glistening in the moonlight that was lingering through their room. To his surprise again, she wraps her arms around his neck, holding him tightly. He tries to hide his blushing as she rubs her hands through his undercut, feeling his soft, dark locks as she held him tight. 

He smiles softly again, an emotion that didn't come often with Levi Ackerman. Without warning, he pushes his large member inside of her, instead of letting out protesting pleas or tears, she moans in pleasure as he softly eases himself inside of her. Going slow, pushing in and out before fully sheathing himself inside of her, feeling him in her lower belly. Considering this was only her second time ever having sex, it was still a bit uncomfortable for her, the feeling of being full against her will. The pain was intense, but as he continued to thrust into her slowly, she was discovering it was the type of pain that was starting to feel good. 

"Tell me, beautiful." He says between thrusts, holding her outer thighs as he squeezes her ass, causing her to yelp. "How good does this feel?" 

She can't exactly comprehend a sentence at that moment. She was too focused on the feeling of him deep inside her, how the pain started to get better. Feeling the bulge of his large cock deep in her belly, she couldn't answer as she was too occupied on how good it felt. Not hearing an answer from her, he grabs her ass tighter. Moving his other hand up to grab her breast and pinching her nipple more, peppering her face with kisses. He sheathes himself into her harder, at this point, her moans were louder than before. 

"I asked you a question, sweetheart." Levi says he thrusts into her deeper, at much faster pace. "How good does my cock feel deep inside of you?"

Asuna tries to muster the strength as she is beginning to see stars. The pleasure felt nothing but intense, she could feel herself wanting to cum again with how deep he was going. 

"Feels... good-hah!" She manages to speak. Wrapping her arms around his neck tighter, digging her nails into his upper back, but he didn't much care. In fact, it turned him on even more to see that she was feeling good from this. He goes into her faster, lifting her legs up towards her rips so his hands were grabbing her thighs, reaching her g-spot and feeling her gummy walls tighten around him. 

The sex lasted almost an hour, with Levi going at various paces and holding her tight with each thrust. His sweaty forehead meets hers, the pain Asuna was feeling was no longer there, but at the same time, she couldn't get rid of the thought that he was only doing this for his mere entertainment. As well as the fact that she belonged to him now, and was going to be his wife, he didn't have the need to feel bad at all. 

Before long, he could feel himself getting closer and closer to his climax. She felt so good, he didn't want it to end. 

"Levi... Please..." Asuna moans, feeling herself running out of strength. Levi had a really high stamina, his sex drive over the roof. "I can't take it... much longer." 

"Shh, I'm almost there." He answers her, kissing her forehead. "You're doing so good for me, baby." 

A few moments later, he released inside of her. She moans loud as she can feel the warmth spreading deep inside, planting his seed. He breaths heavily as he takes a few moments before pulling out of her, admiring his cum spilling out of her pretty, yet overstimulated pussy. 

Levi gets up slowly and grabs a small towel, walking back to her exhausted form lying on the bed, splayed and vulnerable to him. He gently wipes her down everywhere, caressing her cheek and kissing her some more. He soon lays down next to her, holding her body closely as he wraps his arms around her waist. He turns her over so she can look at him, she looks into her gorgeous, emerald green eyes that he could stare at for hours. He chuckles softly before kissing her gently on the lips, holding her cheek and letting go before speaking. 

"Your name... Will be Asuna Ackerman." Levi says suddenly. "You will be the Queen of the Walls, wife to Levi Ackerman, and the most powerful woman within the walls. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

Asuna doesn't say anything back, too tired to speak. She does respond though in her own way, grinning softly. Levi couldn't tell if that was a forced smile or she may have felt happy about her new life, her new fiancee. 

Levi gently kisses her forehead once more before lying back down, wrapping his arms around her waist once more. Listening to her soft breaths, rubbing her belly softly as he buries his face in her neck.

'Asuna Ackerman,' She thought to herself. Does it really have a 'nice ring' to it? Maybe I can find happiness here. Maybe I can learn to love him the way I am supposed to. But the real question is, will he love me back? She suddenly remembers the threats that she heard was being made against the castle, and that she hasn't had a chance to ask him yet.

And will he be honest with me... and tell me what the hell is going on?
