-Chapter 6
A/N: AHHHH IM SO SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER TO UPDATE!!!! I HAD SO MUCH GOING ON IN MY LIFE, TO HAVING WRITTERS BLOCK FOR THIS STORY TO HAVING TO WATCH DEATH NOTE A BILLION TIMES AGAIN TO GET NEW IDEAS! FORGIVE ME! i hope y'all enjoy and let me know what you guys think about this chapter!!!!
Tumblr media
Though L had told me he was going to make more time in which we would be able to meet and just get to know one another, but given the situation that we are in, time isn’t in our favor. I’ve been watching the 24/7 surveillance footage we have on yotsoba meetings. I have grown tired of hearing plan after plan, after plan.  The Only real interaction or meet was when we would go eat. 
“Mmm i think i like the creme brulee cheesecake over your black forest cake.” I mumble as i take another bite of my slice of cake. L on the other hand is just taking chunks out of every slice in front of him. 
“ I just enjoy the taste of sugar.” L mumbles with his mouth full.
“ The point of trying cakes is to taste the flavors.”
“ I like sugar.”
“ you said that already.” 
“ Then let us discuss something you haven’t heard before Y/N/N. Tell me, how do you think Kira kills? given how much you’ve watched these recordings, i trust that you would be able to come up with a conclusion.`` L leads the conversation. 
“ Ryuzaki we said nothing about the case.”
“My apologies, I can’t help but think about anything else.” L rubs his pointer and thumb together as he rolls around the sugar sprinkles, before sucking the sugar off his fingers.
“ Fine, during the meetings theres a lot of numbers, days and ways on how one might be killed or die. There can be a few options all of which cannot be described without some type of supernatural power. One being they, Kira, speaks it into existence.. But that would require some type of God who can do such things. The Other thing is writing it down. Now this one more specifically is what caught my attention. During all the meetings, everyone had a notebook and a pen in front of them but none were used. Except for one, Higuchi . He fiddles with a pen often, and his pen is the only one that’s different from the rest. Indicating it's personal, and this item alone holds some time of significant use to him. Fiddling with the pen can express confidence or the depiction of some type of power.. But again, if he is writing it down, then how do the deaths occur? Unless something of supernatural power is in charge.” I explain before picking up a cheesecake slice and taking a small cut from the end of the slice.
“ Are you saying something of a shinigami? I have to say I’ll be disappointed, as they are nothing but some folklore.”  L sighs before staring up at me with his gray orbs. 
“ Folklore might sound crazy, but the human brain is not capable of creating or making up things, unless it was seen before. As a result I would not knock the idea, and based on how both Light and Misa reacted when they were confined was like they were no longer under some trance, dare I say even under a control of a spirit or being. Their body language in itself changed drastically, more so with light based on the footage. During his confinement I was able to see small lip movements that read “ Get rid of it.” It was moments after that when his body language changed from annoyance.. To confusion. Light’s body language is never abrupt, always calm..Light likes to articulate his movements and his responses to things. So that quick change in demeanor is what concerns me..”
“And you think that the new Kira is now Higuchi.” L states with a firmness to his voice.  
“ If I have to put my bet, I’d say it was him and Namikawa is the one who calls the shots before Higuchi does anything.”
“ I see.. But there were two kiras at one point.. Do you think that the second kira could be Namikawa Y/N/N?”
“I believe that at this very moment there’s only one Kira, which makes my theory of writing in something like a book stronger. When Light said “ get rid of it” what does “ it” refer to if not an object . As a result, if we are talking about let’s say some book, then at this very moment the second book hasn’t been possessed or hasn't possessed a person yet.. If Namikawa were the second kira, I don't believe he would be giving Higuchi some type of approval/ or direction of what to do, he would just do it himself.”
“ I agree, I just don’t see how believing in some type of power in an object or being is gonna help us solve the case. If the way of killing can be transmitted between person to person, whether it be through a book or by some type of spiritual possession, the catching of Kira would be impossible.” L argues back with reason as expected. 
“ Well it all depends, if we are looking for an object, then maybe the destruction of the object can end the killings. But if it is some type of possession of spirit that jumps from person to person. Then the goal is to look for the type of person the spirit is drawn to. But of course that would be a stretch and as you said, would probably be impossible to solve. But given that at one point Light was Kira, I find it hard to believe that someone who murdered so many people would have no recollection of any of it. Making it be that the person has control on if they can erase their memory and bring it back when needed. Which makes me think that Light could still be Kira without even knowing it anymore.."
“ Y/N/N, I have to say your reasoning on things goes beyond my reasoning. I only deal with the facts and the logical explanation of things. If it cannot be proven then it cannot be used as a fact to support evidence.  But you use evidence to create a fact, to make a logical explanation, which is interesting. But it might all be interesting to me, simply for the fact that I cannot believe in some type of supernatural power. But I will leave that to you.” L speaks in a monotone voice, not sounding too fond of my reasoning. 
“ I like the bigger picture, not the small details Ryuzaki.”
With a side glance L looks at me but returns to his cake, lifting his feet onto the chair and sitting in his weird position and finishes his cake, with not another word to me. His energy shifted from that of being open to that of being closed off. Was it my tone? No. It was that I’m challenging his logical way of thinking with a more elaborate explanation of what could be and not what is.

Masterlist
Chapter 7
Since your talk with Levi the other night you have begun to pull yourself more together. Of course not without having your guard up. You had gotten ready and walked passed many of your comrades with your head held up without much of a care. You had seen your friends in the distance in the dinning hall but you grabbed your plate and tea first and then walk in their direction. 
“ Morning Y/n, you seem to be better.” Amane comments with a slight laugh. 
“ might be the tea Levi brought her last night” micheal’s under his breath.
“ I do feel better, and maybe it was the tea. What is it for you to care? Still can’t mind your business Micheal.” 
A few laughs can be heard across the table, with a couple chit chats among one another. You sat in silence just gathering your own thoughts. IN the distance You hear some chatter, not realizing that it’s being directed towards you.
“ Y/N, Y/N to earth.”
You look up to see that Isabella is waving her whole hand in front of you. With a slow stare, you glace up towards Isabella to see what it is that’s so important for her to be acting this way. “ Yes Isabella, what is it?” You glare at her before taking another sip of your lukewarm tea. 
“Are you going on today’s expedition?”
“I wasn’t aware there was one.” you spat back.
“ We were told not to mention anything to you but you look well enough to go.”
“ Well then i suppose you answered your question then.” you put the cup down before another voice jumps into the conversation. 
“ What question?” Levi asks from behind you as he moves to sit besides you. 
“ Isabella asked if I’m going on today’s expedition.”
“ Well you’re not y/n.”
“ You don’t have a say Levi.”
“ As your-”
“ Finish that sentence Levi and the you’ll be the only one not going. I don’t give a shit if you’re a captain, You’re of equal level as i am.”
“Stop being so damn hardheaded.”
“ give me 50 titans Levi, and they’ll all be dead before you can spell out the words ‘hard headed’ , do not test me Levi” you bite back and then turn to Isabella to ask the mission. 
“ So what time do we leave Isabella?”
“ at a 3 this afternoon..”
“ great.” You grab your things and leave the group before anyone can speak a word. You feel the gaze of many but it’s become a norm for you. 
You hear some loud footsteps behind you , and the rhythms in itself already tells you who it will be.. Levi. 
You continue to walk forward without a single hesitation in your step and direction. You walk into the gear room and begin to prepare your gear. 
“ Y/N, you’re not going, put it away… That’s an order.” Levi orders you from the door way. 
You stop and give yourself to process what he just said. 
“ excuse me?”
“ I said that was an order.”
“ I Wasn't asking you to repeat yourself, I was giving you a chance to reconsider what you just told me.” You scoff and return back to adjusting all the handles and making sure your gear is sharpened and ready.
All that could be heard is the clicking, clanking and sharpening of your gear. The rest of it was complete silence, with the hint of deeps breaths from both you and Levi. 
“ Why are you so adamant on going Y/N?”
“ Because I’m not sick, I’m not injured, I’m fine. This war must come to an end, I can’t be sitting around doing nothing Levi.” 
“ I don’t think you have comprehended what happened.”
“ I didn’t realize you now know when or how I comprehend things.”
“ Y/N I don’t think you’re ready.”
“Then I guess I’ll make myself ready.” You comment back at Levi before walking away from him. A small huff can be heard in the distance from where you left him, but you could care less. 
Before you know it, it’s time for the expedition, and all of you are lining up besides one another ready to take on what comes beyond the horizon before you. 
“I see you’re joining us today Y/N.” Commander Erwin’s voice rings through the air. With a quick turn of your head to the right, you see Levi and the commander standing side by side. 
“ Yes sir, I am.”
“ Levi tells me you’re not ready.”
“ with all due respect Commander, but if you’re going to try to convince me to stay behind just stop while you’re ahead. I’m going and that’s final.”
“ No not at all, welcome back.” Commander Erwin welcomes you back with a pat to your shoulder and walks away.
Hange and Levi discuss with the rest of us the plan for the mission and the next thing we know, we’re on our way. The plan was to make it too Shiganshina and just check the surroundings before going into Mitras and collecting some supplies. The journey just consisted of a constant silence with a few chatters on the side. You could see Levi on his horse not giving much mind to anything around him, and all that overtook his face is the stoic look that he always held. But knowing him, he was already thinking of a million things. The goal was to make it to Shiganshina before sundown, so around what looked like to be mid-noon, since the sun was at a 55 degree angle, the pace and speed of the trip increased. But little did you all know, there was a mob of titans surrounding all of you. 
“EVERYONE ASSUME POSITION, WE NEED TO TAKE  THEM AWAY FROM THE DIRECTION OF THE WALL!” Commander Erwin screams, and in seconds we are all changing directions. 
The goal was to divert them from the wall, but Your goal was to eliminate them. Why just divert then, when they can be taken care of all at once. You just went in for every strike, Not missing a nape or brining them down to their knees. Levi eventually saw what your goal was, as he saw that you were not leading the titans away, but you were getting rid of the problem. With a grunt, knowing he couldn't let you do it on your own, he took it upon himself to assist you in any way he could. At one point your comrades saw what was happening and did their best to also take down all the titans that they could together.
 Before we knew it we were already at the entrance. Once we made it into the city we were greeted by crowds, some crowds would scream hateful words asking "why we were coming in if we were not doing anything. "While others would cheer in the distance, you look over to see where the cheers were coming from.
That was when you see what looks like a young boy and a girl with a red scarf, they don’t look much older than 10 years old . The boys eyes flash with so much joy, and a glimpse of pure euphoria, but it falters once he saw the whole picture. Comrades injured , some missing limbs, and all deal with something internally. Many of our fellow comrades’ parents ask us where their daughter or son is.. asking if they are still at base, if we can return a message for them. But those sons and daughters were far from us now, no longer with us.
We move past the crowd and into our base where we will rest. Many cries and screams can be heard as some wounds are being cleaned with alcohol. That’s when you feel like something dry on your face. You lift your fingertips by your brow to feel dry blood, but a cut that can be felt. You hiss at the touch but get up to go get the supplies you’d need to clean yourself up. 
“Go shower Y/N, I’ll help you clean the wound when you’re done.” You hear Levi slump on the floor you were just sitting on. You notice all his gear is off but he hasn’t cleaned himself either. 
“ Maybe you should go shower too.” You suggest to the man before you. But you’re left with silence in return, but with that you turn back around and walk off to go clean yourself. 
Eventually the night was over and a new morning rose, but nothing about it was a good morning.

Chapter 12
Tumblr media
Noa (pov):
We eventually reached what seemed like some high tower of some sort. We all deboard from the blimp and we watch it fly away into the distance leaving us all to wonder.. How on earth do we get off or down this tower. Nothing around the edges had anything tied to it, thus meaning going down by rope was not an option. But there are some idiots who attempt to climb down, but their life was taken by some large creature. 
“ Look over here, I found an entrance.” Hisoka calls to us moments later. Gittarackur and i walk towards Hisoka. 
“ Well I’m going down, Good luck. Don't become chopped liver.” Hisoka laughs and jumps as the floor tile opens beneath him. Gittarackur and I look at one another and nod trying to find our way to another entrance. Once I found mine, I bid Gittarackur a farewell and jump to my next challenge. Once I land on the floor i look around to see that there’s a wrist band but there’s an extra one. But I’m not left alone much before i hear a small thud behind me. What are the Odds, the same heartbeat.
“ What are the odds.” Gittarackur shakes as he speaks from behind me.
“ I said the exact same thing Gittarackur.” I smile and pass his his little wrist band watch he will need to wear. Once Gittarackur  has on his wrist an intercom speaks telling us the small rules and how we’re at a prison. With not much of a care we go through the open hall. That’s when we enter a small lightly dimmed room, nothing but the small torches lighting up the room. 
*Lub Dub LUB Dub lub DUB*
Ah the soft rhythms of a heart, but make that many hearts in this room, we are not alone.
“ Looks like we got us some company” a voice speaks from the darkness and moves forward. Both Gittarackur  and I stand in our place, not very phased by the many people that walk forward with the voice. 
“So let me tell you the rules to pass, this is a game called “ tap in” the only way for you to pass and win is to kill us all. But you can’t tap out until you kill your opponent. If you die, then your partner can tap in.. but then they have to kill us all, alone to pass.” a rough voice speaks among the crowd of 56, 57, 58, 59, 60,61, 62, 63, 64… of 64 people. 
“ sounds like a walk in the park.” I laugh to myself, if only they knew i took out way more people than that in minutes. 
“ Very well, when do we begin?” Gittarackur asks.
“ Whenever you’d like, don’t think it will be easy. Just go ahead and step into the square. If you’re body leaves this square before you kill one of us you’ll be  eliminated from the hunters exam.”  the man speaks.
“ Won’t be an issue, let me go first.” I speak up as i pass Gittarackur  and step into the square field. That’s when a woman walks in, she had a pale complexion to her, with sunken eyes. “ She already looks dead,” is what i think to myself but i try not to be rude and voice that out to her. 
“ Awh looks like your little partner didn’t want to go first, well they do say ladies first.” The woman laughs as she gives me a small smirk. 
“ I’m not here for a small chat, when can we begin?” I ask in annoyance, since she’s disturbing my concentration. 
“ whenever you’d like, just make the first move, I’ll give you the first hit.” The woman stands before me with her arms crossed over her chest. 
I slowly begin channeling my aura towards my fingers and crotch down towards the ground and tap my nails against the cobblestone, creating a light rhythm. A rhythm Is all I need.
I repeat my motion until i have perfected the rhythm and i abruptly stop. 
“ Are you going to attack or just keep thumping your nails.” 
“ No, I'm done with that.” I get up and dig my nail into my palm, deep enough to draw blood to the surface.That’s when i get close enough to her and i extend my hand out to shake her hand.
“ You want me to shake your hand. Wow, is this your way of giving up already?”    
“ No, I simply want to give you my respects before I kill you.” I smile as I extend my hand to her. 
“ hm cocky, but why not i have nothing to lose because you’ll be the one dead.” she smiles and extends her hand. In the process of doing so i graze my nail quickly over her finger down her palm knowing i cut her. 
“ My apologies, long nails.” i explain as i firmly grab her hand and give it a nice shake. But duing the whole process I focused my heart beat to beat at her rhythm, mimicking her heart. As well as focusing my aura to my blood which is mixing with hers. I pull my hand away slowly and nod before i whisper “ stop beating.” That's when she suddenly grabs her chest and gasps in pain. 
And just like that, she dropped dead. I can hear the gasps being heard in the distance. I walk back towards Gittarackur and tap him in, “ Good luck, shouldn’t be too hard for you to follow suit."
Like a game of tag, Gittarackur and I were talking turns in killing our opponents, which took us a total of 4 minutes, 32 seconds, and 0.06 milliseconds. Minus the time it took every opponent to gain the courage to walk up to the designated spot..  
We then had to move to our second challenge, which was.. A game of two truths and one lie. Which was faced with someone who was a conjure, one who was a master of fortune telling. But she didn’t stand a chance with me. I asked to be the one to take her, so it wasn’t long before I focused my aura on my scent. To mimic someone she loved or knew, so that i may disguise my answer with the answer of her loved one. From the get go, she thought i was someone of her past, whom I’m not sure, but jut by manipulating her perception of who was actually in front of her with my scent had us passing to the next round in minutes. 
“ You just love tormenting people.” Gittarackur speaks from besides me as we walk through the tunnels. 
“ No I just like doing things quick. You Gittarackur like to torment people, you always take the long route.” 
“ I took out all my opponents in the first round in a maximum of 8 seconds.”
“ 8 seconds too long, try 6 next time.” I laugh after hearing him scoff at my comment.
We eventually end up winning the whole thing. 
The last round ended up taking longer than it needed to be.. As in, it was hours, but we came out second and third place, with a time of 6 hours and 21 minutes. 
“ Well hello there you two, what a surprise.” Hisoka smiled from his end of the large room. 
“ Surprise? More like a pity we came second and third to you, joker.” I bite back as we walk towards the Joker with flaming pink hair, sliding down besides him on the wall. 
“ So Do tell me Gittarackur, is she not an impressive one?” Hisoka asks.
“ I’ll refrain from answering.” Gittarackur speaks as his eyes are closed with his arms crossed 
“ I find it rather insulting that you need to ask Hisoka, when you know the answer is yes.”
" Sounds like Gittarackur is a little upset." Hisoka pokes fun at Gittarackur .
" No i am not." Gittarackur is quick to speak and defend himself.
" yes you are Gittarackur, it's because i could get the job done faster."
" You left a mess everywhere Noa."
" The rules were get the job done, there were no rules on how clean the kill had to be." I snap back.
" I'm not arguing with you." Gittarackur adjust himself and tries to block me out.
" argue, there's nothing to argue about if what i said is true." With that i close my eyes as well and sigh a sigh a relief, finally allowing myself to rest.

Chapter 11-- chapter 13
When taken back into the blimp with the remaining contestants, you’re told to just rest up until the next part of the exam comes in. With that you walk around and explore around until you catch the two young ones, Killua and Gon. You watch as they joke around and sit next to one another, looking out the window before them. Listening to their conversation and when Killua tells Gon that his parents are assassins and the destiny that was mapped out for him. You could see the look of shock and confusion over take young Gon when Killua describes wanting to get rid of his parents.. Hearing Killua speak so enthusiastically about the bounty the world might have on his parents. 
Oh how you remember your own thoughts of your parents when you were his age, Oh how you wanted to get rid of them yourself. Sometimes it was all you could dream about. As always your thoughts come to a stop when you feel a presence behind you, though they tried to conceal it, you can already tell the familiar Aura behind you. 
“ Hello Gittarackur.”
“Hello.”
You turn around to face the pierced man with not much of a smile to give, “ Stalking me i see.”
As always he is a man with few words, not much to share or say, but will always provide you with his presence. You turn back to face the two boys and that’s when you sense another person in the room, the chairman… What does he want with them? Slowly you pull out your small hair pin, in case you must attack the chairman, wanting to make sure Killua and his friend that he has made are safe at all costs. But to your surprise the chairman invites them to a game and if they win, they’ll be hunters on the spot. With that the boys walk away with him getting ready to play.
“ Why do you wish to protect those boys?” Gittarackur speaks from behind you.
“ It’s none of your business.” you glare at the man and begin to walk away, but he follows right behind you.
“ But I can tell, you would give up your spot if it meant protecting them, foolish of you. If they cannot fight for themselves they aren't worth saving.”
“ don’t tell me you're threatened by those two.”
“ Not at the very least.”
I laugh at his response and walk to your sleeping area, you notice that many men sit around the floor and look at the both of you in what looks like possible fear. 
“ All of you get up and leave.” I command them, but they all look at you as if you’re joking. With a small huff I pull out your pin once again and just before you're gonna aim for someone, Gittarackur stops you.
I look at Gittarackur as to why he stopped you, but he had already pulled out his own needle and aimed it at all of the individuals in the room. 
“ Leave the room now and don’t come back.” he instructs in a very firm tone. A tone I’m all too familiar with..
“ I could have done it myself.”
“ I’m Well aware Noa.”
“ Then you should have let me.”
“ I wouldn’t have been a gentleman.”
I let out a scoff at that comment and make your way to one end of the room and sit down. And begin removing all the pins from my hair. And massage any parts of my body that ache.
“ So Gittarackur, do tell me, do your needles change your appearance?” 
“ No.”
“ Lies, 
“ Maybe so, maybe not.”
“ So tell me Gittarackur, what is it that you do for a living, or why do you need a hunter's license?”
“ For work.”
“What work is that?”
“ None of your business”
“ But here’s the thing Gittarackur, you’re in my presence so I’ll ask again, what work is that?”
“ a mission.”
“ Gittarackur save you and I both the trouble and elaborate before I make you against your will. I look at him like im giving him a warning, and then turn back to examining my nails. Hmm they need some filing.
“ I’m what one would consider an assassin.”
“Hm really? I haven't seen your work, you must suck at it then.”
“ No, I just don't leave a mess behind.”
“Who said i leave a mess behind?”
“ Considering you and Hisoka get along rather well, it says alot about your style i suppose.”
“ He is an interesting one, but you’re friends with him, thus the same conclusion can be said about you.”
“ I don’t like any types of mess.”
“ i know you don’t.”
“ What?”
“ nothing Gittarackur, we should get some sleep.”
I go ahead and stretch my body before laying on my back and shutting my eyes in hopes to get some rest. But I don't hear Gittarackur shift or make a single sound.
“ Gittarackur you should rest, you’ll need it.”
“I don’t need it.”
“ We all need it, just because you were trained to not need it as often, doesn't mean your body doesn't require it. Now don’t be stupid and get some rest, besides if you’re really an assassin you would have been trained on the tunnel sound, you do know what that is right?”
With that Gittarackur huffs, “ Yes I know what that is, I just like to be alert.”
“ Just say you suck at the basic skills of assassination, obviously you haven't mastered that skill.”
“ I wouldn’t speak of things you don’t know about.”
“ Well Gittarackur, I know a lot more than you think. So keep your advice for yourself and don't speak of things that you yourself don’t know about.” 
With that i listen for Gittarackur to speak another word, but he doesn’t as usual. You lay in complete silence and feel as the atmosphere becomes ever so familiar. So tense, yet so calm.. So strong, yet comforting. You know this Aura, you know it all too well.. It was sometimes the only aura that would calm you. Like the arms you can be held in, the hands that would move through your hair. You knew it all too well. 
I slowly begin to even out my breath and heart beat until I know that Gittarackur will think I'm sleeping. It was when I heard the slight sound of something. Though to most people they wouldn’t have heard it, I can hear the  sound of a needle being dislodged from the skin. That was when I heard a small hum of satisfaction, and a few pops of one’s neck.. And a silent whisper of “ killua you’re such a pain.” 
That was all I needed to know, to know that the Aura, the needles and way of speaking was that of the one I knew the most. With a small smile to myself, and decide that it’s time to have a little fun.
“ Gittarackur” I speak out, knowing i did startle him as i hear him jab the needle right back to it’s old spot.
“ Why are you up!” he speaks up. 
“ I heard Hisoka in the distance, he’s about to come in.”
“ I didn’t hear anything, what games are you playing at?”
“ I’m not playing any games, I hear his heart rhythm in the distance… just like i hear yours… and just like i heard you pull that needle out, i heard it. Thus you lied and i was right. It does change your appearance.”
“Go to bed.”
“ So tell me, do you change the way you look because you’re just terrible to look at, thus this look is better than how you actually look like..  Or are you spying on someone?”
“ What are you getting at? Just spit it out.” he huffs
“I’m just saying Gittarackur, that you’re a mystery to me is all. And don’t worry, i didn’t see how you look. I respect you enough to give you your privacy… But you can tell me.. Are you hideous too look like without your disguise?”
“ I said go to bed.” He instructs me
“Fine.” i bite back
“ Good”
“Good”
“ Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Gittarackur.”

Chapter 6-- Chapter 8
It has been over a month since the incident, time has passed, words never exchanged, and being all alone. Levi had been assigned captain and requested a private room with a bathroom for you. To which Erwin had no issue in making it happen. 
Nowadays you rarely ever see Levi, let alone interact with anyone. The first couple of days after the incident, your fellow friends tried to comfort you.. But you were no longer who you build yourself to be. You were back to being quiet.. reserved , alone.  You were once timid and now you’re just numb.
Levi since becoming captain has been flooded with work and meetings. Not having much time to see you, and even when he tried, you shut him out. He would attempt to drop off tea at your door, and like clockwork at 11 o’clock, you’d heard the small steps stop at your door with a tea cup placed on the floor. And you wait until you felt like he left before opening your door to drink the cold tea. 
Levi missed talking to you, he missed being.. heard, being listened to.
But tonight was different, today he stayed .. he waited… waited for you. You stood there with the door open, looking at the man who sat on the floor before you. Still in his uniform, and wearing his usual blank stare on his face. 
“Y/N, can we… can we talk? Actually no, we need to talk.”
You stare at him not sure what to do, you could go back into your room and close the door.. you could just continue to look at him, or you could agree to this talk,  And you decided to choose the latter. You grab the tea cup from the floor and walk across to where he sat against the wall, and sit besides him.
“Still not going to talk?” He asks, waiting for your response.. waiting for you, but you just stay silent like old times.
You hated silence but sometimes it’s all you knew. It’s all you knew when it came on how to cope, how to stay out of trouble… how to stay safe. Silence was something you grew to be comfortable with, even if it meant you wanted to scream at the top of a mountain about everything. Sometimes you had no choice.
“ you know I haven’t been able to talk to anyone? Ever since that day… I have nobody, not that it matters. But I went from talking to you to not even hearing your voice.. I’ve been taught to never regret things, but if there’s something I regret most, is telling you that I preferred when you spoke less. I never thought I’d actually miss hearing you speak.” 
You listen to his words as they fill the hallway, but it’s like nothing really mattered.. because all you could think about was his voice, his silk like voice that was strong yet soft, stern but gentle, confident but lost. 
“ Every night I hope that maybe you’d just even say ‘thank you’ just so I could hear your voice. But it was enough to see every morning that the cup was empty on the floor…. I- I’m sorry.”
When you heard the words “  I’m sorry” leave his mouth, you snapped your head in his direction. What could he be sorry about? He was there when he could be there when it happened, he was there when everyone gave up on trying to talk to you. He was there to bring you tea every night.. he’s always been there, why is he sorry?
“ I’m sorry, I wasn’t there… I know you handled it well and all but .. I should have been there. To see you— to see you the way you were that night… I failed you. Not just as a captain, your Comrade, but as… as— as a friend… You have always protected me, always had my back, I never once had to worry about my life being on the line when I’m with you. Yet, I failed you.”
You look at Levi, your heart breaking… your once dull eyes now softened at the sight of the man before you who held himself together. Not an ounce of weakness shedding through, but a ton of regret spilling out. 
“ The last time I was ever protected was by my mother… but she’s gone… she used to be a prostitute in the underground, and she would always protect me. I would see how men would treat her but she always protected me. ”
“His mother was a prostitute?” you think to yourself, wondering if you’ve ever seen her or knew her.
“ When I was a kid, a man once tried to attack my mother, I was too young to do anything. But even when she was the one who was hurt, she ran to me, to make sure I was safe… she always told me ‘ the strongest people are those who do the duties that their heart might well regret .. and the bravest were those who would make a deal with death to protect those they love.’ She was my bravest person I had ever known.. and you remind me of her”
At that you gasp at the words.. those words, her words.. Levi turns to you to see what was wrong and why your breathing pattern changed. It was like you were scared, confused.. 
You look at Levi from eye to eye, to his nose, lips. Small ears .. looking at every aspect you could possibly look at, and there she was. Her face in Levi’s , her delicate eyes in his, his defined cupid's bow just like her’s.  Every memory that you once thought were lost come rushing back. From the day you gave him some oatmeal, to when he’d wait for you every day to walk you back to what you called home. From protecting you from the other older kids, to you teaching him how to read and write. 
In your head all you could imagine was little you looking up at the boy next to you as he walked you back after a long day at work, as he held the Fresh bread you brought for the both of you to eat. You promised yourself to always protect this boy. Like he protected little you.
You think of when Kuchel would talk about her son, and how he was her little worrier. How she’d go home and leave you so that she could be with him. Your mind goes back to when you found out she had passed.. you promised to her that you’d always protect her son if you ever saw him.. just like she always protected you, she was the bravest in your eyes.. 
With a shaky breath and a small smile lifting the corner of your lips. You always keep promises .. always. 
“ I’ll always protect you Levi.”
Levi looks at you with his lips parting from shock. 
“I promised myself I would always protect you.. and I promised your mother I’ll protect you.”
“ Y/N, what are you on about, you never met my mother she passed when I w—“
“ kuchel, kuchel was your mother.. she was like mine too.. and you always protected me.. since you were younger,  from when you walked me back from the bakery.. to protecting me when other kids tried to hurt me.. you always protected me.”
Levi looks at you with a dumbfounded look, not sure what to say .. you knew his mother.. you were the little girl, the little girl who fed him, who taught him how to read and write. How did he not put the pieces together, your mannerisms, your handwriting, the way you spoke and didn’t speak… the way you made that meal, the way you always cleaned his wounds. 
“ I dont know how I didn’t know it was you.. I- you haven’t changed much since then and you look just like her.. “ you laugh to yourself, thinking about how he gave you a fake name back then. 
“ your mother would always protect me, when she passed I had nobody and that’s when it first happened, and ever since then I’ve always just done things on my own.. protected myself. And the best way when I was younger was to cut my hair and not speak.. if I never spoke,  no one would know it’s me.. no one would go after me.” You blabber on about your past and who you are. 
All that Levi could do was look at you in utter shock, you knew his mother.. you knew her, you knew her like he did. 
“ Levi.. your mother loved you so much, I hate to admit it but I was envious of you as a little girl. I had wished sometimes she’d love me like she loved you.” You laugh to yourself at the thought of being jealous of a kid you didn’t know at the time.
“ She would always say you were her Ray of sunshine. She would always sing to me a song before she left.. and I knew that song was about you. It went like ‘ you were the brightest—‘.”  You sing the  chorus.
“ you were the brightest Ray of sun I had ever seen.”  And then hearing Levi mutter at the same time the same lyrics to himself.
You give him a soft smile in return as he remembers his own memories. 
Levi hadn’t thought of his mother is forever, he had tried to completely forget about her. Forget the loving words she'd tell him, forget her warm and gentle touch, forget her soft lips that kissed his head goodnight. To forget the only woman he had ever loved, his mother. 
The ringing silence overtakes the both of you, all that could be heard were the small sips from the cups. And the occasional deep breaths in and exhales.
“ Levi.. do you have a picture of her?” You ask the quiet man besides you. 
“ no I don’t.”
You nod your head and get up from your spot besides him, he looks at your sudden movement and his eyes follow your frame into your room. The sound of drawers opening and shuffling can be heard. A few moment later you walk back with what looks like a photograph in your hand. 
“ here.. it belongs to you more than it does me.” You hand him the flimsy piece of paper that holds the beautiful angel. With hesitant hands he reaches out and grabs the edge of the photograph. 
His once hard eyes that hold no emotions soften.. there she was, So alive and beautiful in the picture, a smile took over her face, eyes so bright that you’d think that the bright moon were her eyes. This is how Levi remembered his mother, the beautiful mother who loved him, who was strong, who protected him, who fed him, sang to him. Not the woman that was frail in her bed, not the woman who could barely get up, not the woman he watched leave him. 
“ where.. where did you get this?”
“ when she never came back I went to her room in the prostitution home.. she’d let me sleep in her room to protect me from bad men, but when she never came back I stayed in her room, and found it in her drawer…it was the only thing I had left of her, when I felt alone or unsafe I’d talk to her picture.. and put it under my pillow like she was protecting me. But it’s yours, she was your mother not mine.”
Levi turns the photograph over and reads over the faded writing in the back that read “ Kuchel on her 19th birthday.”
“ She was your mother too, so no I will not take it. You can have it back.” He hands the photograph back to you, not wanting to look at the picture any longer. Why did she have to leave him.. why?
“ She's done her job, I’m no longer scared, she taught me what I needed and has been there for me when I needed it.. it’s your turn now.” You push the photograph gently back to him. 
With a strong grip Levi held the picture close to his chest. “ Do you know how she passed?”
“ no.. all I know is she never came back.”
“ she was sick… she died by some unknown disease. I was alone too, she left me alone. Well that was until my uncle came along, but he didn’t stay long after.. left me too.. and then so did you.”
“ I didn’t have a choice.”
“ we all have a choice.. one day i never saw you again, you chose to leave me.”
“ I was taken.”
“ Taken? Taken where?”
“ Some people from where your mother worked always looked for me.. I had done something and they were always looking for me.” 
“ What did you do, kill someone?” He laughs to himself.
“ Yes, i did.”
The pin drop of a needle could be heard by the silence that engulfed the room. The aura of the hallway falling dull. You killed someone before, a month ago wasn’t the first..
“ why?” Levi asks.
Such a small question with such a heavy answer. No matter how many times you tried to block out your past, it rests heavy on your shoulders and their blood stains your hands. But did you have a choice? was it wrong of you for what you did, or was it wrong for what they tried to do to you.
“ the same reason why men probably attacked your mother and the same reason I got rid of Conner.”
“ but you were so young why would-.” Levi tries to comprehend your words.
“Because Levi, they don’t care, no one cares if you’re a little girl! If you’re a mother, a sister, a daughter, a child… a baby. They do not care, they don’t care..” you begin to sob to yourself.
They don’t care.. they don’t care. Monsters.. disgusting monsters.
“ I think you should go to bed Y/N, I’m sorry I asked.. I didn’t mean for you to re-live those memories. Here let me help you up.” He stands from where he sat besides your and extends his hand out for you to grab. With a shaky hand you grab his and pull yourself up from the ground.
“ I’ll go to bed, let me just go wash these cups” you lean down to grab the cups that were once filled with tea, but he takes them before you could .
“ I’ll do them, you should sleep. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“ it’s fine I can do them, you made the tea so I c—.”
“ Y/N I think I made myself clear.” Levi turns down the hallway towards where the kitchen would be. You turn and enter your room, but before you can close the door and give your last glance to where Levi walked. He calls out to you.
“ Y/n, you don’t need to worry about your protection.. leave that to me, see you tomorrow.”
With that he walks away and disappears behind the corner pillar and you retreat fully back into your room.
Leave it to him.. could you leave it all in his hands, no, don’t be stupid.
Soon after your in your bed falling slowly into a night of slumber. Safe in your room, safe in your bed and safe under your blankets… but deep down you also knew you were safe under His protection.

MASTERLIST
Chapter 5 — chapter 7
A/N : I just want to give a fair warning, this chapter does contain strong themes of SA. I know that this is a very sensitive topic and so I will put "***" before the part of the chapter starts and where it ends Just incase, and if you'd like a small edited chapter without much details please let me know and I'll post it up! and if y'all ever need anyone to talk to.. I'm here <3
----------------------------
A few weeks have passed and you and Levi have begun to develop a stronger bond. Well that is more petty arguments more than anything.
“ You know, I much prefer it when you spoke less.” Levi hisses at you as he bends down to clean under the kitchen counter. Both you and Levi were on cleaning duty, and he had his ridiculous head bandana and another one covering his mouth, as he dusted. 
“ Fine, then I won't speak.” You chirp as you scrub the floor. You didn’t like cleaning but it did bring you some sense of peace at times. While you’re scrubbing you look back to see Levi really going for it with the counter. Such a clean freak. 
You slowly dip your hand into the water bucket and look at Levi to see if he notices you, but he hasn’t. In fact he’s too busy dusting off the corners. With your chances you flick water at him, the small water droplets land on his back and soak into his cotton shirt. 
“ y/n, Did. You. Just. Throw. Water. At me?” He speaks in a stern voice. He has stopped cleaning and just stares at the rag he was using before turning to you. Levi hated dirty things, and above all he hated being dirty.
You stay silent because he did say he preferred when you spoke less.. you act like you didn’t do what you just did and act clueless. You look at him and frown your eyebrows and look around like there’s others and then point at yourself, as if to say ‘ are you talking to me?”
“ don’t get smart with me, speak.” He keeps his intense eye contact towards you. Not batting an eyelash. 
You throw your hands up and shake your head in a way to say you didn’t do it. You then turn back towards your floor and finish scrubbing, and when you go to dunk your scrubbing rag into the bucket Levi grabs your wrist in his callous hands. Once in his grip he pulls your wrist towards him, which causes you to go forward with the tug. Which ends up leaving both you and Levi face to face. 
Over the past weeks you hated to admit but you did form a small crush on Levi. He has never failed to make you blush or leave you speechless. Like the other day you had walked into the dinning hall to join everyone for dinner and as you approached your table of friends, Levi pulled out your chair for you in front of everyone.. It was a small act but you were red in the face. The day after that incident, you were getting out of training when Levi approached you.
“ Hm, looks like your pretty lips had some fun, who was the lucky person?.” Levi walks besides you.
“ What? No I have never! I–It was Amane, she hit me with her gear and..” you try to explain yourself too stunned on why he would think you did anything with someone with your lips.
“ Calm yourself y/n,” he extends his hand and rubs his thumb against your lower lip wiping away the blood that spilled from your small cut lip. “ and that’s good to know, I’ll keep that in mind.” he laughs walking away from you. You stood there in complete shock, lifting your hand over your lips that he just touched. How stupid could you be, of course he was being sarcastic, and didn’t mean it literally. He probably thinks you're so lame now.. Never kissed anyone, how pathetic.
Right now he just stares at you with not much facial expression but his eyes switch from back and forth between your eyes and lips. You can hear your heartbeat pounding in your ears, the heat creeping onto your cheeks. Here comes that heart pounding, nerve racking feeling again.. 
“ C’mon hot cheeks, cat got your tongue?” He mocks you a bit and pulls you in closer. 
Just as you’re about to try to respond back Hanji walks into the room, causing you to pull away from Levi like the speed of light. 
“ Oh am I interrupting?” Hanji asks from the doorway. 
“Not at all, I was just asking Y/n if she threw water at me, but it seems like someone forgot how to speak.” Levi get’s off from the ground and turns completely to Hanji.  Wait why is he acting so calmly.. 
“ Oh! Well Commander Erwin is requesting you Levi in his office.”
“ Is that so, well I guess I better be going then.” Levi turns back to you, where you’re still on the floor and trying to avoid his eye contact.He will not see you in this shocked state, is what you think to yourself. He then leaves out the door leaving you and Hanji alone in the room. You turn back to your cleaning trying to avoid any questions but Hanji has a list of them.
“ So was I really interrupting? Wait, are you and Levi a thing… Is he always intense or does he treat you differently? Oh your cheeks are turning even more red! OH SOMETHING HAS TO BE GOING ON!” Hanji speaks excitedly, as she tries to see your face, but you try to hide away but you’re in no match when it comes to her curiosity. 
“ n-n–no , he just– I did throw water at him, so he was just asking me.” 
“ Then why are you blushing so much? Unless.. Wait, do you like him.. Does he not like you back? Does he know about how you feel?”
“ I.. no.. um..”  You struggle to answer her and just turn back to scrubbing the floor. Hanji leaves you to finish cleaning but that is before she tells you, “ just so you know you’re a looker, if you want to see if he likes you back, just see if he gets jealous. He’s a man, and men are very territorial.”
Once you were done cleaning the whole room , you walk down the hallways during the day and completing any other tasks asked. But not once have you seen Levi, probably still with Commander Erwin. Dinner time was already approaching and you were on your way to get ready to start eating but in the process you bump into Conner. He was one of the new recruits and he’s been rather too friendly for your liking…
“ Hello, y/n you’re looking rather beautiful as always.”
“ Thank you.”
You plan to walk past him but he pushes you against the wall and traps you between his arms. You look at him in shock, stopping yourself from reacting too quickly. 
“ You know, when someone gives you a compliment you should be a little nicer. So what do you say, maybe a kiss to the cheek as a thank you?” He goes to brush your hair away from your face and tuck it behind your ear, but you slap his hand away and try to get out of his grip.
***
“ Get your hands off of me!” you raise your voice as you try to push him away, but he grabs the hand you used to push him away and flips you and pushes your body against the wall. He kicks your legs apart to separate them so that you can't kick him as easily, and holds both your hands behind your back.  “ Don’t fight me, it will be easier for you.” He speaks against your ear, but it was his words that throw you back to a time you wished you could forget. 
*FLASHBACK*
“ Don’t fight me, it will be easier for you.” The man who had you cornered speaks. As always he wore his sinister smile and reeked of beer. It was like this man was on the hunt for you, no matter how many times you left the prostitution house he always found you, always hurt you.
“ Please, I said leave me!” You cry out too tired, how could this disgusting older man time and time again try to hurt you, even after you never let him win. 
“ Listen here princess, You know what i want, let’s make it simple and get on with it.” He approaches you. You clench the knife you had behind your back waiting for the best time to use it. He slowly crotches down and crawls towards you, and moves his dirty finger tips against your ankle. And pulling you towards him, causing you to fall falt against the ground. You continue to try your best and hide the knife behind your back so that he doesn’t see it. 
“ Look at that, it only took me a couple dozen times to finally get you. See this will soon be over and done with.” He laughs as he begins to lift your skirt up and position himself between your legs, he  unbuckle the belt around his waist and just as he’s about to pull your undergarments off you pull the knife out and aim for his clavicle area. 
The man before you screams in pain and reaches for his wound, this gives you time to go for his other side and abdomen area. He begins screaming profanities towards you but you take this moment to kick him off of you. 
“ I Will Kill you! I Will KILL YOU!” You scream from the top of your lungs tabbing multiple times over his abdomen. You do end up stopping when you hear someone scream from down the ally way. The underground was already a dangerous place to live in, but more so for a woman.. You knew you didn’t have the strength nor power to deal with more than one person, so with that you Got up and ran as far as you could away from the other men.. You couldn’t risk getting caught killing a man.. Let alone being stuck around more men who would want to hurt you..
*END OF FLASHBACK*
“ Look how easy this is, i wasn’t trying to hurt you princess.” Conner speaks up again bringing you back to your current situation. 
“ I SAID GET OFF OF ME!” you scream at the top of your lungs, You begin trying to pull away and thrush around in his grip trying to get free. You try to throw your head back to hit his head, but he goes and uses his other hand to throw your head back against the stone wall. Your head bangs really hard against the wall, and you could have sworn you saw stars.  
“ Stop being so loud!” He whisper shouts against your ear trying to keep you in place. You struggle a bit longer until you realize there’s no getting out of this.. Your flat against the wall, arms and legs pushed and pulled too far back and apart. Mobility is at zero.. 
“ Given up? Well lucky me, looks like i win the bet.” he laughs, removing his hands from against your head to go for his pants. That is when you go and throw your head back one last time while he’s off guard. He’s thrown off balance and thats when the loosens his grip around your wrists and you pull them apart and push yourself off the wall.You take this moment to make some distance between you and him and you go for a high kick across his face to knock him to the gound. 
“ I SAID GET OFF OF ME!” You scream again punching him completely to the ground, his head lands hard against the floor and you’re pretty sure you heard his skull crack. But that doesn’t stop you from going on top of him and throwing blow after blow at him.
“ I SAID GET OFF OF ME, AND I’LL KILL YOU IF I HAVE TOO!” 
Another punch to his face,
“ I’LL KILL YOU!” 
Another punch.
“ I’LL KILL YOU, I’LL KILL YOU, I’LL KILL YOU!”  You shout at the unconscious boy in front of you with tears streaming down your face. You hear a couple of running footsteps coming towards your direction and they come to a halt. 
***
“ Y/N WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!” You hear the voice of Levi who lifts you off of the body and pulls you away. 
“ GET OFF OF ME!” you scream, out of reaction and pull away and attempt to crawl away, but Levi goes again and wraps his arms tightly around you, this time preventing you from escaping.
“Please, let me go! LET ME GO! WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP TOUCHING ME! PLEASE GET OFF OF ME!” You shout with more tears streaming down your face, as you feel every hurt and infliction you have felt your whole life fall on you. 
“ Y/n, look at me, I wont hurt you okay, but you need to calm down and tell me what happened. He was touching you, what do you mean he was touching you?” Levi tries to counsel you but the lack of emotion in his voice only triggers you even more.
“ please, please don’t hurt me! Just let me go!” you try to pull away from him again but he only tightens his grip around you. At this you just give up and just cry, once he hears your broken cries he slowly positions himself on the floor and loosens his grip around you to instead just give you a tight hug. 
“ Y/n… please just tell me what happened.” 
“ He– I… He said I shouldn’t fight him, but he–He had me against the wall! I-I tried to get away, but he just–Just pushed me and he was trying to remove his pants! I told him to get off! I told him to get off! And he said He won the bet, I don't know what he meant.. I told him to get off!” You struggle to speak and explain the situation but Levi doesn’t need you to explain any further.. He was seeing red, his ears were ringing… He looked over at where the man you were beating was. He was black and blue, not an inch of his face gone undamaged… 
“ Hanji, please take Y/n to clean up and check her for any wounds.” Levi instructs Hanji and she’s already on it. She whispers softly asking you to come with her and to let go of Levi. You yourself hadn’t realized the death grip you had on his shirt. You pull yourself away and grab onto Hanji who extends her arm to help guide you away from the scene. 
Levi looks back at the man on the floor before turning to Commander Erwin, “ Commander Erwin, I will deal with this myself.”
“ I did make you captain, do as you deem necessary Captain Levi.” I’ll begin the processing of his papers in the meantime, who is he?”
“ Conner Liker, Cadet corps 98.” 
“ Very well, I leave the rest to you.” Erwin nods and walks away, there is a crowd that surrounds the scene with mutters of “ he made him captain.” “ captain?” 
Levi shakes off the comments and begins instructing people around, 
“ You two, Take him to a cell. And the rest of you, clean up this damn mess.”
All that he could think of was how to murder this man, and Just how no one heard them. He takes a couple of walks around to calm down before he goes to check on you. To think he was moments away from coming to find you and tell you about Erwin making him captain. Just to find you covered in that guy’s blood with your knuckles raw to the bone and tears streaming down your face. When he finally comes himself down he looks to find you and Hanji but she’s already walking out of the room. 
“ How is she?”
“ By the looks of it, she took some major blows to her head.. She’s coming in and out of consciousness, and we have Petra who’s trying to keep her awake.. But I’m not sure if she can last any longer up.. We tried bringing light to her eyes to check for pupil dilation but she isn’t responding, I say she’s suffering from a major concussion. Besides that, there aren’t any other major wounds.. Besides the major bruising around her writs and the damage to her knuckles, she said there was a bet.. Did you find out?” Hanji asks. 
“ No I haven't gone and spoken to him, I’m going to wait till he’s up, no point in torturing him if he’s out of it… Do you mind pulling Petra out, I'd like to talk to Y/n alone.” 
“ Yes of course Levi, follow me.”
Levi follows Hanji into the room that you were in, both Hanji and Petra leave you be. 
“ How are you feeling?” Levi asks not even sure what to expect, will you start screaming at him to leave, cry, not speak at all..
But you don’t speak at all, instead you turn to your side and give him your back. Your head was pounding as it is, your heart still racing.. And all you wanted to do was cry, and cry, and cry. This is why you never sleep, this is why you don’t talk, and this is why you never trust anyone. 
“ Y/n.. talk to me.” 
You hear his small plead, but you still stay in your position and let the tears that once brimmed your eyes fall down your cheeks. All you could think was how you were stupid enough to think you were even safe here.. To even think you let him get that far. You’re stupid, stupid, stupid little girl. 
“It isn’t your fault, if I had known.. I knew he was too friendly, I- I should have seen it, the signs…”
“ No it's my fault, it’s my fault! If I were more alert, had I just not even said hello to him! And he.. He.. tried to! And I almost.. and what if he.. I was so weak in comparison, if he hadn’t removed his hand from my head I wouldn’t have.. what if others joined him.. he said it was a bet.. a bet. I— others want to do this to me.. why do they want to hurt me..” You cry to yourself curling into a small ball.  
“ Y/n, it’s Not your fault, you did nothing! None of this is your fault-“ he tries to reach for your but you jump from the contact itself. 
"Do. Not. touch me… Just leave.”
“ Y/n-“
“LEVI I SAID LEAVE! please just leave, why won’t anyone listen to me.” Your shout turns to a small whisper to yourself in the end. Levi had never seen you like this… just hearing your voice and your reaction to his touch just raised the anger in him. He was back to seeing red, and hearing his heart pounds in his ear, Conner is going to regret this.
Levi leaves from his spot but bids you a small goodbye, and in return all he heard were you small cries and shaky breaths. Levi is wasting no time to reach his destination, as he walks toward the Cell.
Once he reaches the destination, he opens the cell door and walks in, Conner lifts his hanging head up to see who it was. 
“ about time you woke up.” Levi walks towards person, Conner doesn't speak or say a word..
“ So mind telling me what this bet was about before I beat it out of you?” 
“Noth-“
*punch*
“ I guess *punch* I didn’t *punch* make myself clear *punch* what was the bet about”
“ It was a stupid joke!” 
“ no the only thing stupid here is you, so answer the damn question before I beat it out of you”
“ I wasn’t the only one involved okay!”
“ keep staying the obvious and I’ll start pulling out your nails, one by one, what was the bet about and WHO ELSE was part of this”
Conner just sits in silence refusing to answer the question.. Levi scoffs knowing the response, he walks out of the cell to go grab the pliers. Hell be using. 
Pathetic, he would rather stay quiet than speak up, not like him staying quiet will benefit him in the end. Levi thinks to himself. 
When levi comes back to the cell all he sees is you standing over Conner. The knife in your hand is covered in blood. He looks down to see a pool of blood creating a stream in his direction. 
“ y/n… what did you do”
“ I told him I’ll kill him, I never break promises.” You walk away from the dead body and pass Levi without a second word. 
He watches you walk away like you did nothing, like what you had done was normal to you, no second thoughts, no hesitation.. 
You walked back to where you were told to stay and in your journey back, you passed by many of your fellow members.. Whispers can be heard, mutters of “ is that blood?” You paid no mind to them, i mean how could you.. You just killed a man.. Their life, their blood was on your hands.. On your shaky hands, on your conscience.. And the memory is forever in your head.  And like many years ago, you remembered why you never spoke a word.

MASTERLIST
Chapter 4 -- Chapter 6
A/N: I swear I love these two.. Y/n is just too kind for this world and that's what our Levi needs! and God bless Levi's mom's heart <3 The Lyrics are from the song " Like the dawn" By : The Oh Hellos. I like to think that this is how Levi's mom viewed him, he was the brightest shade of sun. ALSO IMAGINE LEVI LOOKING DOWN AT YOU LIKE THIS!
--------------------------------------------------------
You had woken up from your sleep absolutely refreshed, never feeling so alive! You look over to see if Levi had passed out but saw him wide awake, granted he had dark circles but he was up, like he promised. 
“ you’re up.” you whisper as you get up from your laying position to match his sitting one.
“ And you look better to look at.” 
You couldn’t help but blush at his words, knowing he didn't mean it in the way you took it. It must have gotten warmer.. yeah that’s what it is, you’re not blushing…
You get up and walk to go wash your mouth before and face before you speak to him any longer with the way you were. Once done you heat up a small kettle over the fire and dump the tea leafs into the cup and pour the water and bring it to Levi. 
“ Your tea.”
“ Let her rest once and now she’s a princess and not a killing machine.” He grabs the cup and takes a sip of his tea, and a small hum of satisfaction can be heard. Did you want to throw out the tea in front of him after that comment, yes, but he did keep his promise. 
Everyone was packing their things and ready to go, the titan was still tied down and the same damage was being inflicted on the titan to keep it harmless to us. 
“Disgusting things.” Levi scoffs besides you on his horse as we pass by the titan. You look at the titan and lock eyes with it. But for some reason once it saw you it began straining against the ropes and wires that tied it down. Quickly you pull out your blade and throw it, aiming it at its eye. Looks like it has an eye problem.  
“ Y/N don’t hurt it!” Hanji rushes over to where you were and checks to see the titan like it didn’t just try to escape and attempt to try to attack you.
The rest of the trip you and Levi rode next to one another without much being exchanged. You could see the sleep that begged to take over Levi but he never let his stance falter. Eventually the group reaches back to the main base and the rest of your comrades who knew nothing about this expedition were in awe.  Everyone was already pulling out their weapons but there was no way that Hanji would let anything happen to her baby. 
“ EVERYONE PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN, ANYONE WHO HURTS HIM THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!”
Both you and Levi take your horses back to the stables and make sure the horses were taken care of before heading back inside the building. Levi walks off in his own direction and you go to put your ODM gear away and refuel as needed, making sure it was ready for the future. As you did so you didn’t even hear Commander Erwin come in. 
“ Welcome back y/n, always great to see you in one piece. I heard you took initiative on the expedition.”
You hang your ODM gear and turn to face Erwin, “ I suppose.” you respond in a rushed manner.
“A move like that could have winded you up dead y/n, making such choices without thought isn’t smart. You can’t do everything on your own.” 
“ I thought about it, I saw an opening and took it. A moment of hesitation means there was an opening for a mistake. If I end up dead it’s not because of anyone else, but because of my own doubt in my ability." You speak in a more confident tone this time around. Who would have said something.. Levi? No.. Hanji? No, she would have praised me.. Who..
“ Trust not in your own abilities alone, but trust in the abilities that those around you can help you.” Ewrin tries to reason with you, but his words only put salt on a wound you've tried to heal. 
"I will trust in my own abilities alone because the moment I trust and wait for someone to help me, will be the day I’m let down. With all due respect sir, If i had to trust someone with my life, I wouldn’t trust you because I know you’d stop at nothing to save humanity, even if it meant sacrificing my life. I agreed to join the Survey corpse because I was willing to give my life up for humanity.. Just because I was willing doesn’t mean I will allow myself to die.”
“ So y/n, you trust that you will make it to the end to see humanity being restored?”
“If i didn’t see it for myself, then what was the point of giving everything i had?” 
With that Erwin walks towards me with a smile and rests his hand over my shoulder and nods. “And I trust that you will see the end of it all.” With that he removes his hand from my shoulder and walks towards the door he came from, but before leaving he asks me one last question. 
“ Y/n, do you trust Levi?”
You look at him and give a firm nod, “ Yes I’d foolish not to trust him.” With that Erwin walks away and leaves you alone. You walk out a few minutes after him and head back towards your sleeping quarters to change into your training outfit and go have a small training session with yourself. You head to the bathroom and change and tie your hair up into a ponytail and walk towards the training room, not expecting to see a shirtless Levi in there.. As you walk in, Levi is already aware of your presence and turns to face you. 
“ If you wanted to be around me so bad, you could have asked.” Levi comments before he goes to do some pushups. 
You let out a small “tsk” before going down to do some stretches yourself, “ sure.” just telling him what he wanted to hear. You proceed on with your stretches until your satisfied and begin doing your own work out with your makeshift weights. Carrying them from one side of the room to the other for a couple of rounds, practicing your high kicks and anything to help you stay in shape and keep your stamina up. You were in your own little bubble until Levi interrupted your concentration, “ Would you like a rematch, hand to hand combat?”
You turn to face him, your face dripping from sweat and you can only imagine how your hair looked. “ I– I didn't take you as someone who likes to get your ass beat twice.”
“ Strong words for someone who was all weak in the knees for me yesterday.” He lets out a small huff while giving you a side glare. Did he just mock you? With that you nod and go for it and agree to a hand to hand combat fight. You throw the first hit, which he dodges with ease and goes for a side punch to your gut. Your muscle memory comes in to bring your knee up to knock the jab away from you. But he was quick to change his position and switch sides and did the exact same move and kneeing you right in the gut, causing you to go down a bit, but you took that opportunity for an uppercut.
You both go on for a couple more hits and to say Levi was not holding back one bit, until he had you on your back flat against the ground. Your chest heaves as he holds your hands above your head as he straddles you without putting any of his weight on you. “ So much for beating my ass.” His face right in front of yours, as you felt his breath skim over your cheeks down your neck. It was then that you looked over his face that glistened with sweat, small droplets about to fall from his hair. The grip around your wrist radiated heat that spread through your body. ‘Damnit, why am I blushing again’ you think to yourself.
Being brought back to your current reality, you think of how you hated not having the last words. You didn’t speak much already, so you'd be damned if someone had the last word. With that alone being your motivation, you headbutt him and use that small distraction to kick whatever strength to your leg to wrap around his hip and kick him down. Quickly you straddle him instead and hold both his wrists down besides his head, caging him between your arms. You watch his eyes widen in shock and you couldn't help but let out a breathful laugh. You look all over his face and see that his nose is bleeding, probably from when you headbutted him.  You lean forward, not realizing this causes your backside to press down on him just so you could reach his ear to whisper to him; “ Never celebrate too early.”
Levi at that very moment wasn’t sure what he was thinking. His head was too fogged up from the fight, being almost knocked out and having his heart pounding for other reasons. He watched you get off of him as he followed your movement from his same position on the floor, you were fixing your hair and wiping the sweat from your face. The picture painted in front of him left him in a complete daze. Your cheeks are covered in red, spreading down to your neck, your hair in a beautiful mess.. He could still feel the weight of your body on him, the pressure of you pushing down on him when you leaned in, causing A pulsating ache. From your hot breath and soft lips that lightly touched against his neck, and sweet voice in his ears. He watches you move around to grab your things and head for the door to leave, but you stop to turn around and look at him. You bring your hands together and fiddle with your fingers, as if you were debating to say the words on the tip of your tongue.  
“ Umm.. your nose is bleeding.. Uh, I .. you can.. I can...” You stutter over your words for some reason, and you wanted to beat yourself up for it, Y/n get a grip!
“ A baby can form a better sentence.” Levi gets up from his laying position to sit up right and look at you from a distance. There she was, the girl he’s come to know.
“ Come to me after your shower.” You blurt out quickly before running out, not wanting to stay under his gaze any longer. What was wrong with you.. Sure you stuttered from time to time, but never this bad. Was it because he was shirtless, did he intimidate you? No.. none of those.. Then what was it?
You just rush to shower and get out quickly, deeply regretting telling him to see you after his shower. What if he makes fun of you? Pft you can put him in his place, wait maybe i shouldn’t do that.. You sigh waiting for him to come in, which he eventually does with his gray long sleeved shirt and wet hair. His nose is still lightly bleeding but nothing too crazy, you get up and grab your supplies and walk to his bed. He already knows what to do and sits on his bed letting you clean up the blood and bandage the small cut on the bridge of his nose and cover the bleeding nostril. 
“ Why do you always do this, bandage me up I mean ?” He asks as you continue to clean his face to prevent any infections. You have one hand under his chin to move his face for you to examine and the other to clean his wounds, but once he asked you that question you froze. You look at him in his icy,  dark and  strong eyes; “ Because you take care of those who take care of you.” His eyes move over your face, examining your facial expressions, trying to read your face for any hint of you lying, but he found none. 
“ Take care of you, when have I ever done that.” He states rather than questions.
“ You always do because you always have my back.. And you kept your promise.” You continue to clean his wounds trying to act busy so that he stops asking all these questions. He doesn’t question you anymore and you go your own ways. 
The whole day/night goes on without the both of you speaking and each goes to bed, waiting for morning. But in the middle of the night you hear shuffling coming from someone’s bed. You sit up eyes trying to adjust to the darkness to see who it is, that is when you see Levi in his bed turning and tossing. You slowly peel the covers from yourself and walk quietly closer to him and that's when you hear small mumbles falling from his delicate lips. Small cries of “ Don’t leave me..” escape quietly from his mouth. You rush over back to your bed and pull out the small lavender plant from under your pillow that you use as a scent to calm you down and walk back to Levi. You slowly try to sneak the small flower under his pillow case. Once you were successful you sit slowly on the edge of his bed, and lay your hand slowly over his head and brush his hair. 
You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen-
Your skin was gilded with the Gold of the richest king.
And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me.
You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you. 
You hummed quietly the small melody that Kuchel would sing to you before bed at times, she had the most beautiful voice and it always calmed you down before bed. When you started to sing you could see that his body eased up, it was like he melted into your touch. You continued your small hums and soft brushes until he had calmed down. Just when you were about to get up and leave you felt a small tug or should you say something holding onto your gown. You look down to see that Levi had grabbed your gown instead of his sheet and pulled it to his face. You couldn't help but smile at the sight, he no longer looked conflicted or in pain.. But at peace. You try to peel his hand from your gown and you succeed without waking him up. Just as you’re about to walk away, you hear a small mumble of “ I love you mother.” That alone tugging at your heart strings, there was the 24 year old man, humanity's strongest crying for his mother. You lean down slowly to press a delicate kiss to his head and a whisper of “ I love you.” Knowing he was too in his dream. 
You look around to see if anyone was up and you knew that no one was, hell you wished you could be in a deep sleep like them. But too bad you couldn’t break the habit you had built. The whole night you think of when you were a child. How you couldn’t wait till night to be tucked in, to hear Kuchel tell you that she loved you. How she would brush your arm up and down, or play with your hair as she sang a small song until you slept.. When she too left you, you tucked yourself to bed, you caressed your arm yourself to calm yourself down, singing the songs you’ve come to know… Hoping that one day she would come back, but she didn’t.. No one to protect you.. To love you.. To care for you.

Captain  (Levi Ackerman X reader)
WC: 5883
tw: theme of  around the topic of SA ( nothing happens )
Two comrades; humanity’s Strongest and humanity’s Bravest. A bond between Two warriors who have nothing to lose.
A/N: Y’all i didn’t even think anyone would read this buT THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO READS! I was so shocked by how much love the last chapter got so i made y’all a longer chapter and a quick update! OH AND THIS IS THE SONG FOR THE CHAPTER
MASTERLIST
Chapter 3 — Chapter 5
After breakfast, it was another day of training. Y/n had come out of the kitchen and joined the table to eat. Stupid and dumb conversations were passed around just to pass time until training. Once training began everyone would partner with someone, and with that Petra ran towards Levi to ask to be partners and Michael asked you. Today’s training focused on weapon usage, for the most part this was easy. How hard can it be, to use a blade of any kind. You scoff and begin your friendly dual with Michael, sure he did put up a fight, not that it was any good. 
Eventually you have Michael on the ground with the one blade at his throat and the other over where his heart would be. He takes deep breaths in and closes his eyes waiting for you to remove your blades from him. “ Can you remove those things away from me!”
“ Not until you say the words ‘ you win’.” 
He finally does admit it and gets up from his place and walks away all while glaring at you. How dare you insult him. You look over to see that Petra too was already on the ground. You look away and walk towards the wood post to practice your techniques, that is until you hear some footsteps come to a stop behind you. 
“ I'm sure you’re really showing that wood post its place.” Levi speaks.
With that you turn quickly and pull the small dagger from your side latch and swing at Levi. In quick reaction he backs away and doges the swing and pulls out his own knife and jumps forward to go for her neck, but you lift up your arm from under him to push his wrist upward instead of going towards you. Levi doesn’t hesitate to throw a kick to knock out your dagger from your hand and grab it mid air. Taking your weapon and claiming it as his own. That move doesn't stop you from pulling your other knife from the other side and try to go for his abdomen area but before he can go for an attack, you go for a side-flip to end up behind him. 
You hear a crowd behind the both of you cheer and scream. 
“ LEVI GO FOR IT!”
“Y/N JUST GIVE IN!”
“ YOU JUST HAD HER LEVI!”
“ STOP TRYING SO HARD Y/N!”
The chants only getting on your nerve, why is it a praise for Levi but telling you to give in, like you couldn’t do it… You take one last look at Levi before going all in. You charge forward pulling out your sharpen blades from your ODM and swing from your left and right, he too pulls his out and goes all in as well. The fight goes on for another 20 minutes before you have Levi’s neck between both of your blades. Both you and Levi had given one another a couple of scrapes and cuts but it’s not like either of you had noticed. You pull away and lower your weapon, the both of you look at one another with an intense stare before nodding at one another and walking away. 
Dinner does eventually come along and you refused to talk to anyone, so you decided to skip dinner and just head for the shower for the day. You just wanted to wash off everyone’s words and doubts. You had lived your whole life with people putting you down, telling you you’re not strong enough, not good enough, that you try too hard, that you were not wanted.. It was like no one wanted to see you succeed, were you truly not good enough?
You took longer in the shower since you were the only one in there while everyone was at dinner. Taking this time to just dwell in your thoughts and emotions, and hum a small melody and lyrics that come to mind.
“ I finally see myself
Unabridged and overwhelmed 
A mess of a story I’m ashamed to tell
But I’m slowly learning how to break this spell.”
Finally your shower is done and you grab your towel to dry yourself, dress yourself and walk out. Still no one is in sight and you walk back to your bed to wrap your wounds and brush your hair. Your naturally y/h/c wavy hair falls over your exposed shoulder. You wore your ivory off the shoulder long nightgown.  You never had many beautiful things growing up, So when you could, you always saved up everything to buy yourself one small thing every year. And Night gowns were something you adored, to be beautiful even while you sleep.
Firm steps can be heard and you see Levi walk in with his own hair wet.. Wait.. that would mean that he..
“ Didn’t know you could sing.”
You look at him as he rubs his hair with the towel to dry his hair.. 
“ I don’t”
“ Are you saying I was hearing things?”
“ Why ask a question when it’s factual.”
From your bed you notice that he has a few cuts around his arms, you grab your small aid kit and walk over to his bed where he stands. He looks at you with an expressionless face and watches your every movement. You put your hand over his shoulders and push him down to sit on his bed. You pull out the alcohol bottle with some cotton balls to dab his wounds. When you were cleaning your own wounds and couldn’t help but hiss, but he didn’t peep a sound. While you work on his wounds to clean and warp them, your hair falls in front of your face over and over again even when you push it back. 
Levi watches you and he couldn’t help but admire you, It was one thing to see you up close when you were seconds away from killing him, to you sitting before him so beautifully. 
“ You could have done better.”
At his comment you pull the wrap around his wound tighter to which he flinches a bit from the pressure on the wound. “ Keep yapping and my ‘ done better’ will be your life.”
“You wouldn’t have the balls to do it.”
“ you’re right, I don't have balls, but neither will you soon.”
The both of you stay quiet until you're done cleaning and wrapping his wounds, and you get up to walk back to your bed. And place your kit under your bed with all your belongings. From afar Levi continued to admire the way you moved so elegantly and timidly.  He could never understand how you could be two different persons at once. Out in the field you were the girl that would stop at nothing, to take down any and every titan in sight. But when back here you were shy and timid like.. it was like you were afraid, but if what? Levi is brought out of his thoughts of you when you ask him for tea. 
“ what?”
“ Tea, would you like to join me for tea?”
“ If you will have me.”
With that you nod, layer your nightgown with the over cover robe and grab a blanket and walk past him to pass him the blanket; “ Here hold this,I’ll make us the tea.” As he grabs the blanket he smells the perfume of lavender. Did you just apply it? Did you always smell like this? He gets up to follow behind you as you lead the way, – “ They’re still in the dining hall” Levi mentions.
“ I’m aware, you can go outside and lay the blanket out, I’ll bring us the teas.”
“ No you’re in your nightgown, I’ll make the tea and you can go wait.”
“ I’ll be fine Levi.”
“ I won't repeat myself” He passes the blanket to you, “ Go outside I’ll make the tea, what would you like?”
“ Peppermint, please.”
With a nod he turns to go towards the dinning hall to grab the both of you your tea. Everyone is still chatting away but are quick to notice Levi. 
“ Where did you head off Levi?” Amane asks 
“ To shower”
“ Are you making tea? Can I have one?” Michael asks.
“ No” 
“ Then why are you making two?”
Levi doesn’t answer any other questions besides make the tea and walk outside, that is when he sees y/n sitting with her legs bent to the side and both her hands folded over her lap. 
“ Your peppermint tea.”
“ Oh, thank you.” You grab your warm tea cup from his hand and use it to keep your hands warm. Levi sits beside you with his cup at hand as well, “ So why outside?”
“ The sky is beautiful tonight.”
“ I don't recall hitting your head today because the sky looks the same.”
“ No, the stars are loud tonight.”
Levi can’t help but turn to look at y/n with a stoic look. What is she on about? The night sky always reminded him of his lonely nights as a child, with no one to care for him. 
“ The stars speak… they speak to me when no one else will.”
“ and what am I exactly doing here then?” Levi asks still very confused by her statement.
“ When I was little, all I had were the stars and the moon. They never left me.” You smile and look up at the stars before you and look at how the shine for you. 
“ why didn’t you have anyone?”
“ because they all left me… look over there it’s Pegasus’s constellation!” You point at the cluster of stars in the night sky. Levi tries to see where you point cut can't see it. 
“ i just see stars.”
“ it’s right there!” You point again, but get closer to Levi to see it from his point of view. “— see its right there, just tilt your head to the left. Do you see this larger and brighter stars? Connect them.”
Levi follows your instructions and then Begins to see the constellation that you were speaking of. He looks up but can’t help but look over slightly to see you smiling at the sky. But what catches his attention is the small tear that falls from your eyes.  Why were you crying? Did something remind you of a sad moment? But you let out a sudden soft laugh and you bring up your tea to take a sip. You hadn’t moved away from Levi in fact you leaned your head to almost lean against his shoulder. 
Levi was never one for physical contact but somehow the warmth that radiates from your body is what was comforting.
“ why did you snap when we were training?” The question that’s been bugging Levi finally came out. 
“ I-I— I don’t know..”
“ you’re a terrible liar.”
“I just… everyone was just saying I was I should just give in.. like they had no hope in me..”
“ If you continue to doubt your own capabilities, you’ll chase the approval of others. What I’m saying is, I don’t know why you give a shit.”
“ I just do.”
“  well.. you shouldn’t, not like anyone actually stays to care.” He mumbles, thinking about everyone that has left him.. from those he cared for, to those he trusted, all gone and left him behind.
“ I stay, I Always stay, and I will always Care.”
“ don’t be so naive y/n, it’s easier to detach yourself from that mentality than be disappointed when it’s not reciprocated.”
“— I will never expect anything in return, as you said people come and go.. but I will not be one of them.”
“ and when you die on one of the expeditions, you’ll be eating your words in your grave.”
 The both of you bask in the silence of the rest of the night, just surrounded by the breeze around you. Sometimes you’d look over to Levi and see him deep in thought, eyebrows scrunched together, lips in a tight line. Levi too would do the same, but instead your face was beautifully sad. It was like the moon, beautiful and bright to stare at but dark and lonely on the other side. Eventually the both of you decided it was time to head to bed, to which you grab your cups and walk back inside. The sleeping quarters were already dark and silent, meaning others had already gone to bed. With that you’re both at your own beds and not giving the other person another glance.
The next morning at breakfast was normal, until Petra decided to ask you in front of everyone where you had gone last night. With no response you continue on with your meal not wishing to entertain anyone’s comments. 
“ What about you Levi, wish to tell us where you went last night with your cups.” Michael asks with his mouth half full.
The both of you not responding and avoiding the rest of them. Why were they so nosey, heaven only knows but you were never one for questions, let alone answering pointless questions. 
“ There you two are! Erwin and I need you both in the office, we have some things we’d like to discuss with the both of you. Follow me.” Hanji approached us and grabbed our shoulders. Without a second word to the group the both of you walk and follow Hanji to Erwin’s office. The new plan or job is explained to us and to say your baffled is an under statement.
“ You want us to bring a live titan here?” you ask in shock.
“ yes!! How exciting I know and I thought who better people to give the job to than the both of you! I mean granted, my whole squad will be joining but i decided to take you both into my squad for this assignment.” Hanji exclaimed with joy, but you were still to understand where her joy was coming from..  
“When do we leave?” Levi asks Hange from besides you.
“ Tonight, and don’t tell your other comrades, we don’t need an uproar of concerns.”
With that the both of you are on your way out of the office, walking side by side to the ODM gear room. Oh how you hated doing your double checks on your gear since it always took forever. But then you had Levi who was doing everything in super speed.
“ didn’t realize we were competing.” you huff as you 
“I would just pick up my pace then.”
You shake your head and turn back to your gear and make sure everything is filled and sharpened to your liking. Eventually you get up to leave and just gather your things, from an extra pair of clothing and a blanket. Some have begun asking you where you were going, but you didn’t say anything. The night rolled in and everyone was asleep.. That was when you knew it was time to go, you met the others. 
“ Wait, what are they both doing here?” Someone asks in the crowd, and Hange jumps in.
“ Oh they’ll be joining us! I said why not have are most talented join us, they’ll be the ones to capture some titans!” 
Some mutters are heard about our abilities but Levi and you don’t give much mind to it. The travel itself wasn’t long but the wait for a titan was, the whole group had found its resting base and started preparing and resting up. Once you’ve settled your horse you returned back to where everyone sat around the fire. You had brought your blanket with you and wrapped it around yourself as the weather began to get colder as winter approached. 
You see Levi sitting besides some others and there’s a small space besides him, with a deep breath in you walk up until you sat besides him. 
“ About time you showed up, a titan with no legs walked faster than you.” Levi scoots over to provide you with more space.
“ Sorry, I’m just tired.”
Levi lifts his head and looks at you, “ Tired.. Hmm, and we haven’t even started the mission.”
“ Yeah, I know.. I just feel so worn out, l guess my body being on constant adrenaline is getting to me.” 
“ What adrenaline, not like we’ve been doing anything the past couple of days.” Levi turns his gaze towards the flame in front of you. 
“ I don’t remember the last time my body wasn’t under adrenaline.. I just- I just feel like I'm in a constant state of internal panic or something..”
With that Levi doesn’t respond back, not entirely sure how to respond without either insulting you by accident or being sarcastic, so he picks the safest option and stays quiet. You just listen to everyone besides you speak about whatever it is, just letting their buzzed voices calm you down. 
But you’re brought out of your state of blankness when you sense a small shiver besides you, you see Levi curl his arms inwards towards his body under the hooded cape to provide some warmth. Without a second thought you throw over half the blanket that was once warped around you over his shoulders.
“ Here.” you whisper as you adjust the blanket to make sure he’s covered enough.
“ I’m fine, keep the blanket for yourself.” he throws off the blanket. 
“ you’re cold..”
“ I’m fine.”
“ Just share it with me.” You throw the blanket over him again.
“ I don’t need it.”
“ Your body says otherwise.”
“ And I’m telling you what I want.”
“ Please just take it.”
“ Y/N i said n-”
“ Levi, just take the damn blanket.” You throw the blanket over him again and grab his hand for him to hold on to the edge of the blanket. 
Levi gives you this shocked look before going back to his regular stoic face expression.
“ Trouble in paradise?” someone from across the circle laughs.
“ sounds like it.” another laughs
Oh how you hated people who mock you.. Letting your intrusive thoughts kick in, you kick dirt toward the flame, in the process the flame goes out. 
“ Hey! Why did you do that!”
“ YOU idiot it’s freezing!” are the couple of complaints that you hear.
You pull your blanket closer to you and bring your knees towards your chest allowing you to conserve more body heat. Levi feels the small tung on the blanket from his end, making him scoot closer towards you and give in a bit to your tug. 
“ sounds like a personal problem.” you whisper to yourself ignoring everyone else. Levi besides you breathes out a silent scoff before shaking his head and just copying your position. The rest of the night leads to silence and the bonfire being lit up again. Hours pass and you have passed out from exhaustion that you had previously mentioned, but you’re awakened from your slumber when you feel some type of weight land on your shoulder. That is when you wake up and see that Levi’s head fell on your shoulder and he was sound a sleep. You also notice that the blanket hangs loosely over his shoulder, so slowly do you reach over to bring the blanket back around his shoulder again.
But from that moment on you stayed up all night, unable to fall asleep with the weight of Levi’s head on your shoulder. Morning rolls in and everyone begins waking up and that’s when you felt Levi stir in his sleep and he slowly lifts his head before jumping away in shock. 
“I - why didn’t you wake me up!”
“ Why would i do that?”
“  Because I- wait, you look like shit, did you not sleep?” 
“ No.”
“ How will you stay alert if–” Levi is cut off when 2 other comrades appear with their horses, “TITAN INCOMING!”  Without much time everyone is flying through the air with their ODM gear to get on higher ground. You and Levi both land across one another on different trees waiting for the titan to come through. Your adrenaline levels are kicking in more than they already are.
“ deploy to formation! REMEMBER IT NEEDS TO BE ALIVE!” Hanji shouts from somewhere. 
The Titan runs through the trees and you go sweeping in before anyone else and you went for its eyes to blind it. You hear Levi scream at you something like “ Damn it Y/N!” and he goes in for the wrists. The titan screams in pain and then begins trying to go use its mouth to try to chomp on something or should you say you.  You’re quick to then go for its mouth. It can't bite you if its lower jaw is hanging or missing. In one quick motion, the moment it open it’s mouth again you fly forwards and angle yourself in a way to drag your blade from the inner corner of it’s mouth cutting through the muscle and down to the side of where jaw join meets. That’s when you see Levi mirror your action and cut through the other corner. Eventually the both of you reach a lower level and go for its ankles to cut them off, bringing the titan down. The other squad members shoot out the capture wires to tie the titan down. 
You finally stop and catch your breath, feeling your body about to crash. 
“ Y/N DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH, WHY DIDN’T YOU WAIT FOR ME!” Levi stands in front of you speaking with a furious tone. You just look at him feeling your body giving in to the exhaustion phase completely, and in one quick moment you fall to your knees, but before you could hit the ground Levi catches you.
“ Hey, y/n better start explaining what's wrong with you.”
You take whatever energy you can to try to lift yourself up and push Levi off,” I’m Fine.”  but you Fail horribly and fall back into his arm.
“ Hey stop it, don’t be an idiot, you obviously need my support.” He holds on to you tighter and pulls you up and warps your arm around his. 
Hanji comes over and wraps your other arm around her shoulders and helps Levi, but given the height difference between the two individuals it becomes rather uncomfortable for you. You muster up any strength you have left and pull yourself off the both of them, “ I said I’m fine” You whisper in anger, holding yourself up and walking away from them.
 While you make your way back to camp base and you reach your destination, you sit yourself down with your knees bent and arms resting over them, with your head laying over your arm. You Let out quiet cries, just from how frustratingly tired you were. 
*FLASHBACK*
“ Please leave me..” you whisper out a cry. But the men before you didn’t care much for your cries. Like every night these were men that came in and out of the building where you lived. These men would take a girl to a room, but the women would always tell you to never let any of those men come near you. But no matter what you did, every night you had to try to get away from them. 
“ Why are you crying? We’re not going to hurt you, we just want to have a little bit of fun.” one of them coos reaching to push your hair away from your face. That is when someone barges through the doors.
“ GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!” a voice screams from the doorway pushing through the men reaching for me taking me away from the men. She was Kuchel, The woman who made you who you are today. She was one of the prostitutes in the underground, but at the time you didn’t know what that meant. She was your mother’s best friend, Your mother passed while giving birth to you, so you never met her. But Kuchel was your mother in your eyes, she always made sure you were washed, fed and taken care of. You live in the prostitution house with many other women who helped raise you.  Your mother’s room became your room of living, but many of your mother’s clients, once they knew that she had a daughter, the disgusting men did all that they could to find you. 
“Are you okay? Did they hurt you, they didn’t touch you did they.” She checked every inch of your body, making sure you were okay. You whisper a “ I’m okay” mistaking your K with a T.
“ Here, let’s go, you can stay in my room tonight.. I won't be here because I need to go home, but I’ll lock the door okay?” She asks as she leads you to her room. You knew she had a kid and that’s why she never stayed here with you.  Sometimes you wished you could go with her and live with her, but you were not her kid, and you already knew what it meant to be a burden.. 
“ Here you go, you’re all tucked in.” She smiles at you, “ Remember, to always stay alert.. You should be fine okay, If anything happens always remember to scream okay.. And here, I’ll put a knife under your pillow, okay? If anyone touches you where I told you they’re not supposed to, or they hurt you.. Use it okay, I wont be mad.”  She combs your hair, trying to sooth you. 
You give a weak nod and the next think you knew she was out the door and you hear a small *click* of the door. There was nothing to be seen in the dark room, all you could do was stay alert, listen for any sound.. watch for any movement. And from that day on you always were alert, never to let your guard down. 
*END OF FLASHBACK*
You sat there just crying silently like you did as a kid. Just hoping that maybe you’d eventually cry yourself to death and you could sleep for once. Not having to worry about anything..
“ Hey y/n, what happened back there.” You hear Levi question as he walks towards you. As the boot hits the grass beneath it, you can sense he’s about 50 meters away from you. 
 “ Nothing.” You bite back with a hint of anger in your voice. Why does everyone have to ask the obvious questions?
“ It sure as hell didn’t look like nothing back there, did you break your ankles or forgot how to stand.” He bites back. 
You stay in your position and stop crying , blinking a few times to get rid of any tears that could cause your eyes to become more red than they already are. Once you’re ready , you stand up and walk towards where you had your belongings and pull out your extra pair of uniform and towel. 
“ I saw a small pond over there, I’ll go  freshen up, do me a favor and watch out for me.” You begin walking toward the location as you hear his footsteps follow you. 
“ So are you going to tell me what happened back there?” He asks, waiting for your response. But you keep to yourself and reach the pond. 
“ Turn around please, I need to undress.” you instruct him as you give him your towel and clean uniform to hold for you.
You hear him huff and mumble a few things under his breath but he listens. You begin removing your uniform and dip yourself into the pond, the water itself is clear and freezing! You begin using the small rag you brought and scrub yourself with it, removing any blood or dirt from your skin. Unclean.. Filthy.. Disgusting.. 
You dip your head back to get your hair wet as well, you grab the small bottle that held the oils for your hair for a wash. And you rub it in before rinsing it out. 
“ I can’t sleep, I try but since I was a little girl I was told to always be alert..because when you sleep, or unaware, that’s when people take advantage of you.” you answer his previous question.
“ I’m sure you’ve proven you can protect yourself.” 
“ If I’m sleeping then I can't protect myself in time.”
There’s a momentary sliance between the both of us before he speaks again, “ Is that why you were awake today, because you thought I’d hurt you?” 
“ No, it was because you were sleeping, I had to be the one to be alert for both you and I. To protect both of us if need be.” with that you get out of the pond and ask for your towel, to which he hands out to you, still facing away. 
You dry yourself and wrap your hair in the towel and ask for your uniform, and begin layering yourself with the undergarments you had hidden in your uniform. Once you’re all dressed you tell him that it’s his turn to wash up. 
“ I didn’t bring an extra uniform y/n, I’ll just wipe myself off later.”
Not taking a no for an answer as you always do, you push him towards the pond and point at the rock for him to sit. you tell him to remove his ODM gear just in case you might get water on it. Once he’s all sat you dip the rag you used in the pond and scrub off any remaining dirt from your usage and then begin cleaning his face. 
“ i can clean myself.” Levi goes and grabs the rag from my hand, but in quick reflex my other had goes and takes it from him just as fast.
“ You can’t see yourself, you’ll miss a spot.” You continue to wipe his face and around his ears. 
“ Your hair has some blood.. That needs to be washed, get on your knees and dip your head into the water, I’ll wash it for you.” you point towards the pond waiting for him to follow you command. 
“ No.” Levi protests getting up from the rock he sat on to walk away but you stand up straight and push him back to sit down on the rock, only not realizing how hard you pushed him. Levi tumbles back over the rock and begins to fall towards the pond, you try to grab him before he goes into the water, but then he pulls you with him instead.
“LEVI!”
“Don’t put the blame on me, you’re the one who pushed me.”
“ You didn’t have to pull me with you!
“Blame yourself y/n.” 
Levi then takes my shower oil and washes his hair and we both get out of the pond soaking wet, carrying our ODM gear. The walk back wasn’t too bad, besides the soggy clothing we wore. The rest of the other members had already arrived back to base and were getting their meals. 
“ what happened to both of you?” Hanji asks us with a small laugh in her tone.
“ A small accident, how is the research going, section commander?” Levi asks, diverting the question. 
“ Oh it’s great! A bit of a biter, but so far with the damage you both did, not like it as much to bite.” Hanji claps. 
The both of you nod and head to get your serving for the night and sitting in front of the fire, hoping it will dry your clothing in some way. The sky does turn into the beautiful dark that it is, with the stars shining as always. 
“ You should go to sleep.” Levi speaks besides you as he looks up at the same sky that you stare at.
“ I told you i can’t, and we–”
“ Go to sleep, I’ll stay up for you. I’ll make sure you’re safe, just sleep.” 
“I’m fine Levi You can–”
“ y/n I will not repeat myself, put yourself to sleep or I’ll do it for you, and i’m not talking about tucking you in.” Levi gets up and grabs the blanket you had used the night before and throws it in your direction.
“ Go to bed, we leave tomorrow morning.” With that Levi goes back to sitting besides you with one leg stretched out and the other bent where he rests his arm over. You throw your blanket over yourself but throw the other side over Levi's knee. He looks down at where the blanket covers him now and back at you. You use your hood and make it into a makeshift pillow before laying down and closing your eyes.. He’ll watch out, You can trust him, He won't hurt you are the last things you think of before you completely pass out.

MASTERLIST
Chapter 2  --- Chapter 4
First person (pov)
Before the morning came I was up and out of bed, although I was still exhausted from the journey of the days before,I had to get a head start. With that i grab my regular clothing and head to go change and freshen up for the day. While walking to the washroom I pass by Levi’s bed and see that he’s fast a sleep, yet some how still looked like he was lost in his thoughts, with his eyebrows slightly scrunched and lips pulled to a line. 
Once I’m all ready for the day, i head outside to go on my little hunt for some berries. Today you felt like making some lemon berry loaf of bread, with the apple cinnamon oatmeal. If there was one thing about you, it was that you loved cooking, well mostly baking. I would always remember my time in the underground where we didn’t have food, and it was tough to survive. To have your meal for the day, you would work at a small bakery like shop, in exchange for a meal for the day. That was where I learned most of everything that I know. As it is, food was already tasteless given the budget that we needed to follow, but I knew I could make something more of it. With that i find a berry bush a few miles into the woods and pick them out and have them in my small basket. Once I knew I had enough I headed back to base just in time for cooking to start. There were a total of 270 of us, and breakfast needed to be ready by 7 sharp. The sun had not risen yet, which makes me know that it’s still 5 am. 
I  noticed the other 2 on shift pull up with sleep still in their eyes, but nonetheless, simple ‘ good morning’s’ are exchanged. You tell them your plan for the meal to which they both nod and begin washing the apples and peeling them. I pull out the berries and have them washed along with the few lemons. I  prepare the bread dough, making sure you have enough to make 7 loaves and having the dough rest while the yeast activates. I prepare the oatmeal by heating up the large pot with enough milk before adding the oats. Apples are being cut into small cubes and then placed into a large pot to cook. That is when I remembered I had gone and plucked some jasmine flowers, I rushed back to my  bag and pulled them out, and laid them onto a towel and had them dry up on the windowsill. I had wanted to make some jasmine tea again, since we ran out, and I had come to learn that Levi also preferred Jasmine Tea. In the meantime I stir the oatmeal to make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom and sides. Then I went to get the oranges we needed to squeeze for juice. 
By the time we were done we had an hour left before breakfast. The kitchen itself smelled amazing with the loaves coming along nicely. There wasn’t much to clean, so I began cleaning what i could to help make the job easier for the cleaning shift. 
“ Hey y/n, we don’t need to clean.” One of the other soldiers whom I’ve come to learn is Jennie. With no change in expression I turn back to wiping down the counters and tables. I never understood why other cant just do something else without being told. Both Jennie and the other person complain for the 4th time about having to clean. I slam the rag and look at both of them before pointing at the door, they give me this look of confusion, like they haven't done anything wrong. They question me by asking the stupidest questions like “ what’s wrong?” “ Did we do something?” Like no shit, even a dog knows when it’s done something wrong. 
I point to the door again and turn back to cleaning, they eventually get the message and leave. Surprisingly i got everything done with still 30 minutes to spare. I walk to the windowsill and see that the flowers have indeed withered due to the scorching hot sun. I grind the small petals just to where they’re smaller pieces before adding them to a jar and some to a tea pot to boil. 
I prep the bowls in the meantime and pour all the cups of juice, making sure as much is ready. 
The last batch of loaf is out and cooling down, and slowly the people begin to trickle in. I pass each one a bowel of their oatmeal and small slice of lemon berry loaf. 
Eventually Levi does pop in wearing his infamous stone faced look he gets in line waiting for his turn. When his turn comes he thanks me for his meal but I stop him before he could walk away. I grab the small tea cup and pour him some tea that I just made, and add 1 ¼ of sugar to his tea and stir it. I walk back with the tea in hand and offer it to him, with a low whisper of “ don’t forget your tea.” He looks at the cup in his hand now and if i weren't paying attention, i would have missed the small flash of shock that covered his face. He tilts his head up to look at me, his expression not changing much besides his eyes softening. 
Levi always had the dark and hard eyes that held so much emotion. They say that the eyes are the window to your soul, but when it came to levi, his eyes were a window to the darkness that he has come to know and live with. With that i give a small smile in return and go back to get the line moving again. He walks away and heads towards the table where the majority of our ‘friends’ sat. 
No one’s (pov)
Levi had sat down setting his plate and cup down, sitting between Matthew and Petra. Petra alone was having a mini heart attack, just at the thought of her crush sitting besides her. She though that this could be her moment, where she could interact with Levi. She would try to ask him small questions about anything, but Levi was too preoccupied by the food that he was eating. When he had taken the first spoon of oatmeal, a memory that he had long forgot came to mind. 
Levi was only 13 at the time, a small frail boy, with bags under his eyes. Skin covered in dirt, clothing that had holes and were far too small for his frame. He sat on the floor in a dark alleyway, knees to his chest and head in between his folded arms over his knee. Life in the underground was difficult, almost near impossible to live in, yet here he was, a young boy with nothing else to offer. He could not remember the last time he cleaned himself let alone the last time that he ate. But all of that didn’t matter because it never did, he didn’t matter. That was until a young girl came out of the building with heaps of what looked like trash. He heard the small grunts from the young girl and jumped to his feet to help her carry the heavy load, not that he was in any shape, but he couldn't let her struggle. He remembers the small girl look at Levi in shock before backing away out of fear, not knowing what he would do. But with that reaction, Levi couldn’t help but feel hurt, not even a small girl would want to be near him. She continues to look at the older boy as he places the trash down and walks away, not wanting to scare the poor girl any long. But she runs up to him to grab his hand in a way to stop him. 
He turns back to see her look at him and signs him what looks like to be the word ‘food’, Levi not sure what she means, only assuming that she too was asking for food. 
“ food? Sorry i don’t have anything to give you.” Levi sighs before turning around again to walk away. But the young girl pulls at his hand again stopping him once again in his tracks. He turns back to see her shake her head and points at him before signing again towards her mouth. Not understanding she pulls him back to his original spot before signing ‘ wait’ and ‘ be quiet.’
The little girl runs inside before coming out a few moments later with what looks like a bowel. With slow steady steps she offers the warm bowel to the boy before her. Oh how he remembers the joy and shock that filled him. With shaking hands he grabs the bowel before grabbing the small spoon to take his first sip. The flavor of apple and cinnamon tingle his taste buds, as he cant recall the last time he had anything fresh and hot. The little girl watches him consume the bowel in an ungodly rate before he wipes his lips with the back of his hand. That is when she notices his chapped lips. She grabs the bowel from him and signals him to wait once again before running back into the building again. He wonders what she could possibly bring back after a meal that was sent from heaven. 
With that she runs out with a cup and something wrapped in paper. She hands him the cup to which he sees the clear liquid.. water. Within seconds he chugs the water before handing her the cup back, and in exchange she hands him the wrapped item.  Levi takes from her hand the wrapped item and opens to see that she had given him a loaf of bread. Levi could not understand this act of kindness. He looks at her with tears brimming his eyes, about to pour down. But before she could see the tears, a voice in the back screams.
“ WHERE ARE YOU, YOU LITTLE RAT!” with that the girl runs back before she could be caught, not saying or waving a goodbye to the boy. He watches her close the door before disappearing from his sight, wondering if he would ever see that young girl again. That is when he decided he would wait for her to see if she would come out, so that he could thank her. 
The sun had set and the young girl had yet to come out again. The young frail boy would hear on occasion a a man scream obscure things. Internally the boy would panic, worried that something was happening to the girl, but he felt helpless, unable to see and protect the little girl. Eventually hours passed , the night turned cold. The streets were no longer filled with as many people, but now it was swarmed with older women trying to make business and men who would go to these women. With a sigh Levi gives up, not expecting to see the young girl anytime soon, that is until the creeping of a door is heard and a small body is pushed forward. 
“ you come back tomorrow you hear! I’m not going to be feeding you for free!” The man speaks in a stern voice as he pushes her out in one motion. The little girl catches herself before she falls and turns to nod at the man, before slamming the door a mumble of “ can’t she bloody talk?” Is heard before the door is slammed shut. The little girl looks to her left and right to scout the area, and she sees the young boy in the corner. With gradual and soft steps the little girl walks up to the boy and places her hands on his stomach, as if to see if he had a full stomach. But to her disappointment she felt her hand sink a bit. 
Under her arm she holds a small loaf of bread and hands it to the young boy. 
“ oh no, I’m okay! That’s for you, did you even eat today?” He asks in a hushed tone.
With the shake of her head she pushed the bread towards him again. But the boy refuses to take up her offer. “ I’m okay, I wanted to thank you for the food today… I haven’t had food in a while and… just thanks.”
The little girl looks at him with a tilted head to the side and a small smile on her face. She gives a nod before she begins walking away to lead the way to the destination. But she doesn’t hear footsteps behind her. The young girl looks back to see the boy still in the same place she left him, she walks over to grab his wrist and walks out of the alley way with him. 
The two walked down the street avoiding eye contact of every person. The two eventually reach an abandoned torn down house. She goes through a small opening and disappears into the darkness of the house. 
Levi had never been one to follow anyone, but for some reason he felt called to follow this young girl. With a deep breath in, he goes in in hopes to find her. “Hey.. um where are you?” He calls out, squinting in the dark to adjust. That is when the sound of a match striking the match box is heard and a small lantern is lit. The area is illuminated and he looks around to take in his surroundings. That’s when his eyes catch the Small drawings on the wall, small flowers, a sun, stick like figures. All over, that is until he catches a small drawing in the corner of the room of what resembles a small girl crying. 
“ Did you draw all of these?” He asks the girl, to which she nods proudly. She walks over towards a small lay out of wooden crates and some hay with a small blanket on top and bottom. Before she get’s on she walks over to a bucket of what looks like water and pulls out a small rag. That is when she begins to wipe her face, neck, arms and legs. That is when she jumps onto the makeshift bed and pats the small side beside her, as he walks over she throws her hands up in a motion that says  “stop” and points to the water and rag, instructing him he needs to clean first.  Understanding he goes over and wipes himself off before going over to where she was. 
“ Is this where you sleep?”
The young girl nods again and pulls out her little piece of bread, but cuts it in half and offers the other half to the boy. “No you have it, I had enough food today.” The girl refusing to take no for an answer, she shoves the bread into his hands and turns back to her piece before munching away. When the both are done eating the little girl gets comfortable and lays down getting ready for bed. The boy takes it as his time to go and attempts to leave until she pulls at his sleeve. 
“ you’re going to bed, so i need to leave?”
She shakes her head in disagreement and points outside and rubs her arms up and down, as if to say “ it’s cold.”
“ Yeah, but I’ll be okay. This is your place.”
She pats the bed again, points at the boy then outside and shakes her head again, in complete protest of him going outside. The girl could not understand why he would want to be outside all alone in the cold! She hated the cold but above all she hated being alone because when you’re alone that is when bad people hurt you. 
“ You want me to stay here?” he asks in disbelief.
She nods her head, of course she wants him to stay, he could get hurt outside! 
The young boy contemplates his choices wondering if he could trust her, or if he should leave. But he decides to stay with her.

A/N: DIDN’T PROOF READ
MASTERLIST Chapter 1
chapter 3
Tumblr media
Today was another expedition, you and many other people began preparing themselves with equipment. People have begun spreading the rumor that you and Levi were a “ thing”, but neither you or Levi ever acknowledged their comments. Sure it bothered you, but you had other things to worry about. Erwin had instructed us into our groups, you had thought that you and Levi would be put together in a group.. The difference was Erwin had assigned both Levi and you as captains of different groups. 
“ Levi, you will take your squad to the southern border, Y/N you will take your squad to the western border, Both Levi and Y/N will be your captains in today’s mission. You will listen and abide by their orders.” Erwin announces. 
You glance over to see Levi and notice that he looked deep in thought, so you looked away before you could be caught. You had never done a mission on your own, could you even lead? Would your comrades listen to you, what if they..
“ Y/n, There will be many titans waiting.. They have gotten too close to the Western wall. If they get any closer, the western wall will be compromised..  Levi, the same goes for you, I trust in both of your capabilities.” Ewin addresses both Levi and I, to which Levi and you in unison say “Yes commander.”
Moments pass of both of your squads insuring they have all that they need. 
“ don’t get yourself killed y/n”
“ I could say the same about you Levi.”
We went our separate ways, waiting to see what was to come. 
It had been hours on end of you and your squad venturing out to the western border. 
“ Y/N how much longer, we’re on open ground.. we should have arrived by now.” A cadet asks from the back. 
“ Commander Erwin instructed us to take the hill pathway. I'm assuming we are to encounter some titans in the process. The goal is probably to get rid of any future titans who are going in the direction of the city.” 
“ But wouldn’t we be out of gear by the time we reach the wall… how are we to defend ourselves?” Another asks 
“ Then I guess you better be smart about your attacks, it’s your decision to live or not.” You respond by answering the person’s stupid question. 
What kind of question is that, if you’re smart about your attacks and your weapon usage, that wouldn’t be an issue. But of course you had to deal with simple minded people. 
You’re brought out of your internal thoughts when you hear a scream. “ Y/N, A TITAN IS COMING FROM THE RIGHT!” 
You turn to face where your fellow team mate told you the giant was coming from. That was until you noticed you heard other fast and hard footsteps coming from your right as well. 
*STOMP*
*STOMP*
Another set of loud steps coming from behind. That was when you knew you were surrounded…
“EVERYONE ASSUME POSITION! WE’RE SURROUNDED! WE ARE TO DIVIDE 3 WAYS! RACE TOWARDS THE WOODS! AND DO NOT HESITATE, IF YOU SEE AN OPENING, ATTACK!”
Your group disperses into its groups into the woods to find higher ground to use as leverage. Your whole squad consisted of 21 individuals. So every group had 7 people, that would be enough for every group to work together to overcome any titans. Once you reach the woods you used your piston shot grapple hooks to rise up to higher ground. With higher ground, you would be able to reach for any of their napes. You watch as the titans run in mindlessly, “ They’re going in many directions, each one of us will be incharge of a titan, if you get yours done with, jump in to help your closest comrade!” You instruct those around you, as you hook on to the trees to swing around. You catch your first titan and swing over it with a flip. You land firmly on its arm and run upwards towards the back of its neck, in the process you allow your steel blades to run through its skin. You were never one to leave much behind of your titans. Once you killed your titan you jumped to help someone else, or rather you jumped at the sound of a frightening scream.
You look over to see that one of your members was in the grasp of the titan and it was approaching the mouth of the titan. 
“ SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!”
Your hooks attach quickly to trees as you fly your way over, like hell you were going to let anyone with you die under your watch. Once you see the titan open its mouth, you aim your hook towards it’s mouth. You have never done this before, but you knew that would be a quicker and easier way to kill the titan before it bites off your member's head. 
With that you fly right into it’s mouth, and that’s when it shuts it’s mouth. It begins to swallow you and Out of instinct you pull out your sharpened blades again and slice right through its throat all around. The titans head falls off and as does it’s grip sound your comrade loosens.
You’re covered in blood and saliva, but you didn’t care at that moment, “ Are you okay Paul?” 
“ I’m Okay, thank you! Oh my gosh i was so scared! I didn’t know what happ-” 
“ Paul, I didn’t ask for your life story, now get up, we have to help the others quick!”   
With that the two of you go over to help the others, You notice that they too are struggling. How difficult is it to get one thing done, do i have to do everything myself? You charge forward deciding that you were going to take care of all the titans yourself. 
With swift motions you spin through the air, leaving your hooks to twirl around you, your blades are by your sides, preparing to go through the skin of every titan. You land on the first titan’s head and run down, slicing through the head down in half, then go back to the back of the neck to cut it horizontally as well. With that you see the 4th titan to your left, and fling over. Swooping close to the ground and cutting both it’s achilles heels, with that it tumbles forward and lands on the floor. You fly back up but in the process the titan attempts to grab you, but you  twirls over it’s extended hand and cut it off, preventing it from grabbing you. You land behind him and take it out. 
You look around and see the other members just flying around the titans? What are they doing, are they trying to distract it, can they not find an opening to attack? You let out a frustrated grunt and run forward. If they won't take it out, then I will. You first go for it’s eyes, and blind them, with that the titan screams, that leaves you to slice the corner of its mouth open. Then you decide it would be a good idea to then just remove its arms and hands and cut its achilles heels as well. If the titan wants to be such an animal, then it can crawl like one. With that you end it with one last cut behind its neck. 
You stand their covered in blood and taking deep breaths in, that was exhausting. You look at your swords and notice that they are all now dull.. No way would they cut through anything now.. Damnit.
“ Y/N… are you okay?” 
“ I would be so much better if anyone did their job.. Let’s go, we need to find the others.” 
 You gather the horses again and begin your journey to the rest of the others. At least you could see they could handle themselves. Unlike your batch you were stuck with. 
“ Y/n what happened to you?
“ Nothing, now lets go. We’re behind schedule.” You instruct everyone else. You all make it to the wall and got rid of all the titans that were deemed as a threat to the wall. Once again you ended up taking down half of them, yourself, even with dull blades.
“ Hannah, give me your gear, if you’re not going to use them properly then let me have them. Mine are dull.”
“ But how am i supposed to protect myself if-”
“ That won't be an issue considering I had to save you three times already, now give me your gear.” You raise your voice
Once you exchanged gear, you informed your team you will now head towards the southern wall. 
“ Y/N, We were told to take care of the western wall, not the southern, why are we going there? We need to rest, it’s getting dark!”
“ Rest.. You want to rest? Rest from what, from being a coward? We’re going to go help Levi’s group if they need help. If not then we shall head back to base.”
With that they stay silent and just follow you. You hated how they questioned you, like you didn't just save their lives.. Like you didn’t just put all the work yourself, and yet they have the audacity to question you. You hated how the blood that you hadn’t had time to wipe off was all tried. You knew you smelled and it was annoying. But you do find a small pond that you stop to clean yourself. At least now you don’t have to feel too bad now. 
The journey itself was long, but you finally made it to where Levi and his team were to be. 
“ It’s just us, No need to worry.” You call out, so that no one attacks. You walk and hide your horses, and then meet on top of the high trees that the rest of the people where at. 
“ Gosh Y/n did you kill every titan yourself or something? No one else has a single drop of blood on their uniform.”
You turn to look at who asked and you see Petra was the one who spoke. You look at her and give a quiet “ more like 13 out of 17.” and look around until you see Levi. He was already looking in your direction. You go over to Him but keep your distance just in case you smell too bad. 
“ You look terrible.” Levi comments as he looks at me with his expressionless face.
“ I know.. It was a rough day.” you sigh, turning your head to break contact with him.
“ Mmm”
The both of you stay silent and just enjoy the moment of peace. Well that was until the next morning that you heard a curdling scream of “ TITAN!” You jump out of your slumber, as does Levi. the both of you don't hesitate for a second before you take off to spot the titan. You go to swing in front of the titan to grab its attention, and do a front flip to miss its attempt to grab you, and you cut off its hand. While Levi goes for its critical zone. 
“ If there was one, then the rest are on the way.” Levi speaks out.
Just as Levi announces that a couple more come through, But at least this time everyone’s skills kicked in. You take on your titan and end its life quick, that was until you look over and see a titan approach the Titan that Levi was already dealing with. 
“ LEVI WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU!” You scream and charge over and hook onto the titan from it’s chest and swipe from its crotch area up to its chin. But that’s when the titan goes to grab for your wire but you unlatch quickly to latch onto a nearby tree on the side.  The damage alone that you made on the titan made him uneven and unstable. You swing around and land on its back and take it out with one clean cut. 
Levi already had at the same time taken out his titan as well. “ Are you okay Levi?”
“ Yeah, are you?”
“ Yeah.”
You exchange nods and head back to help everyone else again. The mission itself was a success, but now you and Levi were once again covered in blood, Well for you the second time. 
Once you all made it back to base, Levi and you needed to give a debrief about the mission itself to Commander Ewrin.
“ Well it looks like you both went through hell and back, outdid yourselves as usual I see.”  
“ Towards the western wall we encountered a total of 17 titans, all of which were taken care of.” You speak giving your debriefing. 
“ And how many of them did you kill Y/n.”
“... it was a team effort, it doesn’t matter wh-” You’re cut off by Erwin asking you the same question again. “ Y/n i said how many did YOU kill.”
“ 13 Commander on my side of the mission and 3 when I met with Levi’s team.”
“And you Levi How many did you kill?”
“ 14 Commander Erwin, My team encountered 21 titans on the southern wall.”
Commander Erwin dismisses you both, the two of you walk side by side until towards the sleeping quarters. Each going their separate ways to gather their own things for a shower that you both desperately needed. The shower room is mixed, thus not leaving much for privacy. But thank goodness everyone knew how awkward it could be and for the most part everyone was respectable about covering up. As usual the showers are cold, but somehow it feels relaxing, more so that you now feel clean. You shut the water off and extend your arm out to grab the towel you needed to dry. Once semi dry, you reach out for your clothing to put on. You picked out your dress that had the peasant like sleeves that hung around your shoulders.. Once dressed you walk out of the small shower stall and  squeeze your hair dry as much as possible before parting it where you wished and coming through it with your hands. You hum a small tune to yourself in the meantime. Just before you’re about to leave Levi walks out of the shower stall himself with his pants on but shirtless.
His smooth skin glissend against the remaining water droplets that remained on his body. Capturing the light of the fire that illuminated the area. He could have sworn he felt your stare, but by the time he looked over, you had already looked away. He continues to stare in your direction waiting for you to turn, so he could confront you, but you never did.
“ You know it’s rude to stare” he comments, as he pulls his gray shirt over his head.
“ Take your own advice. With how long you were staring, i would have thought you had an eye problem.”
“ Only because you looked first.”
You turn to look over your shoulders in his direction to catch him still looking at you. With that your corner of your lip curls up to a slight smile before you turn away. You gather your stuff and begin heading back to your bed, as you were too exhausted to do anything else. You hear small sounds of footsteps behind you hitting the cobblestone. 
“ I’m going to bed tonight, I won't have tea, I’m on breakfast duty tomorrow.” you speak out to the person behind you, whom you know is Levi. 
“ I’ll see you tomorrow then, goodnight.”
“ Goodnight Levi.”
You walk over towards your bed and slide in ready to pass out, and you see that Levi too does the same. Without much thought, you close your eyes and let the slumber of night take over your body.

Chapter 10
A/N: hehe Ahh some of Hisoka and Noa interaction! 
Tumblr media
Illumi (pov)
We had all started our journey through the wetlands, and all I could focus on was the girl besides me. From the moment Hisoka pointed her out to me, I haven't been able to look at anyone else. That is besides Killua. Although I knew what we once shared was long ago, I had expected to feel something. Yet, I felt nothing and all I could do was marvel at her beauty. She wore a black one piece bodysuit with a cropped dark blue velvet hoodie which is now warped around her hips. Her hair up in a high updo to keep her hair out of her face, yet small curls fell out and framed her soft face. But i knew i wasn’t the only one captivated by her beauty, but instead she has grabbed the attention of everyone, and for that i detest everyone.
I watched the two interact, Hisoka and Noa, both smiling. Hisoka has always been one to like play things, he enjoys a challenge, and he finds her as one. But knowing Noa, she too is thinking the same thing. As kids Noa loved the idea of playing as a deceptor, finding who she wanted to play with and deceive them. My train of thought surrounding Noa was brought to a halt when we were told to follow the examiner again. In one moment Noa and Hisoka were before me, the next they were gone. 
Noa(POV)
Hisoka and I were running at an exceptional rate but I noticed that Gittarackur was not within our vicinity, i had brought it up to Hisoka, to which he said he would find us. In front of us I see Killua and the young boy keeping up with the crowd, but end up moving up to get away from the crowd. But it’s like in that moment the fog becomes denser, leaving no room for sight. We hear the said examiner call out, “That’s not the examiner hisoka, let’s go the other way.. The pitch of voice was off and it’s coming from what sounds like high ground..” 
“ Very well, lead the way” Hisoka tilts his head in amusement. We run a little further until we are cornered but what looks like a group of men.. Oh how fun.. 
“ you’re not hunter material, And I've been thinking that ever since we met last year.” The man who seems like the leader speaks up , but then turns to address me; “ And you, you’re not fit to be a hunter either, you can't just go killing people, that is not what hunters do.”  
“ We’ll let you go if you swear your life to never take the hunters exam again.” another man speaks up as he aims his weapon at us. Looks like we got a man who can talk the talk but wont walk the walk. 
“ Sure, why not? I intend to pass, so there’s no need to retake it.” Hisoka smiles 
The men begin to question his statement, asking him if he will figure out where the main path is. Another admits defeat by saying that “ we” all failed this year.. Hm tragic
“ Well then if we all failed then i guess there’s no reason for you to stay alive then is what I’m hearing” I rest my right hand on my hip. 
“ Well said delicate flower, It seems as though this is it.. They failed and now wish to play examiner. But they forgot a crucial part in it all, hunters need a prey. So let us play the examiner, since we are not hunter material, let us be the judge of that.” Hisoka swiftly brings a card out of thin air and chuckles. 
Within seconds all the men begin to charge towards us, and I already know based on their first step, they don't have a plan. Never attack without a plan, only if your goal is to end up dead. In one quick motion Hisoka does a complete circle, using his card as a blade that cuts all his targets at their neck. Impressive.. 
I look up from where all the men now lay and notice one man standing, in shock.. Bingo. Hisoka notices him too and flips his card to prepare for his final shot, but I walk in front of him to claim the man as my target. I pull the rose clip from my hair that I once used it’s thorns, but now I use one of the petals. I pluck the ‘crystal like petal’ from the clip and infuse it with my nen, and whisper the word “Kill him,” i kiss the petal and flick the petal toward him and it lands right where his heart should be. . It’s not deep enough to penetrate completely through his chest cavity, but enough where it’s lodged. What he doesn’t know is if he pulls it out, he dies but what he doesn’t know won't kill him.. Perhaps it will, oops.  
“ Hm, I’m a bit disappointed..” Hisoka walks up beside me and looks at the trembling man before us. In an instant the man pulls the petal off but stops to look at me with the petal in his hands. The next thing we know he leans forward and hands on his face. 
“ Don’t be so disappointed now, I wouldn’t waste my precious jewel for no reason.” I walk and grab my small petal, i take this time to reassemble my clip with the missing petal and thorns. 
“ Do tell me, do certain parts of your clip hold different abilities in which they kill?” Hisoka asks.
“ Well my thorns work as a lie detector.. Tell a lie and they will kill you, if you’re not lying you won't die.. The petals act as a ‘ he loves me, he loves me not,’ I whisper the command to kill, and the moment the target plucks the petal, they die.” 
“ How marvelous!” Hisoka expresses with a clap of his hands. 
“ How about you two, have anything to say?” I turn to look at the shirtless man and blonde boy.
Wait why is he shirtless.. And what’s up with his tie around his neck? 
“ Maybe they wish to play examiner” 
“ I wouldn’t count on it, I can smell the fear from here, especially from shirtless over there.” I nod my head in the direction of the shirtless guy. With that Hisoka begins to walk towards them, with every step that he takes he does not hesitate. He walks with confidence and without worry. Not that i would either, they don’t seem to be nen users anyway.. The blonde boy begins to whisper towards his friend, most probably forming a plan of escape. 
Just like I thought they ran away. Hisoka begins to laugh but stops once a clouded figure appears out of the fog.. Oh it’s shirtless man, the weak link. 
“It’s not my fight but I can't sit back and pretend nothing happened, it’s not my style.. I can't just runaway!” the man screams and charges towards Hisoka with his “weapon” but that does him no good. Hisoka alone seems to have mastered the arts of “ cloud motion”, impressive. Just as he’s about to strike, an object strikes hisoka instead? Wait, did i just see a fishing hook.. I look over to see the young boy who was with Killua. Wait, where is Killua? I look around to see if I can see the white headed boy, but he is nowhere to be seen. I calm down and turn back to the three individuals, Hisoka is too busy trying to approach his new target and The shirtless man whom I have learned is Leorio charges once again towards Hisoka. At that Hisoka delivers a hard punch which sends the man flying away.
The little boy takes it as his chance to attack hisoka but without any prevail he misses every shot. Well not that he misses, he simply can’t comprehend hisoka’s movements. I watch the whole interaction play out, every whip of the young boy’s rod leads to an aimless shot.  The last whip was a rather strong one, one to make a small distraction for hisoka, in hopes that he could catch hisoka off guard. But sadly his plan failed. Tragic, I was rooting for him.  I walk to where leorio layed and look at his wounds, I try to see if there is anything worth fixing but nothing that caught my eyes personally.
“ Hey boy, Your friend is fine, he’s not dead if that’s what you're worried about.” I yell towards the two.
 Hisoka looks up towards me and turns to smiles at the boy, telling him how he passed his test. Hisoka is cut off when a device on him starts ringing. Wait, there's a signal here!? What sounds like Gittarackur tells Hisoka that he needs to catch up as people are making it to the end.
Hisoka sighs and gets up to leave the young boy alone and goes to pick up the shirtless man and carry him over his shoulder. He does ask If the young boy can make it back on his own, to which the black haired boy gives a slight nod. We walk past him and I look at him, “ Don’t look too scared, you did great on your own.” I smile and pat him on the head, before I run to catch up with hisoka. 
The journey to the destination isn’t long, the next thing we know we’re met with the group we started with.. Well a little less than what we started with. 
“ Hey Gittarackur, glad to see you made it.” I comment as we approach the tall pierced man.
“ I was the one who made it here first.” Gittarackur in a monotone voice speaks.
“ Very well then, glad to see you then.”
He looks at me but doesn’t comment back. Hisoka had gone to put the man against a tree to sit him up until his friends arrived. 
“ My Gittarackur you missed our dear Noa in action.”
“I’m sure I did.”
“Oh don’t be like that Gittarackur, you know how I hate small talk.” Hisoka folds his arms over his chest. 
I look at the two men before me and watch the interaction.. Between the two, Hisoka would poke small fun at Gittarackur, where Gittarackur would just stand emotionless. Though he always wore a small smile on his face, I wondered if it was because of the placement of his piercings. One of the main things you’re taught as an assassin are the pressure points that control certain parts of the body.. That was when I noticed two piercings by the Masseter muscle, where dimples would be.. Hmm he might be pitching a muscular nerve  that makes you have a permanent smile. 
I continue to watch the two intercat, or rather the magician speaks his heart out to Gittarackur. Leaving no room for me to even speak. That is when the examiner wishes us the best of luck and tells us we have reached the second phase. We all look over to the gates that open revealing a number of what looks like to be grills.. Looks like we’re cooking today.
The New examiners explain the process to us many of the applicants laugh at the thought of this being the second phase. Of course they would, not like any of them have ever cooked a day in their life, they probably think it’s a ride in the park. That cooking is just a simple task, Ugh! How I want to just wipe the smirks off their faces!
 We go on our way to search for these pigs.. Once we find them we learn that their soft spot is the heads..So it’s not long before we’re all cooking our pigs, or should I say burning the pig. I already know that the fire has to be high at first, and lower the heat as it rotates. For the prepping process I’m sure to cover the Pork with in the garlic, cumin and thyme and rosemary paste that I made. With that I cover the lining of the aluminum foil with the same paste and cover the pork with it. Allowing the pork to really cook with the herb and spices. I Mix up a small side of gravy with the fat the drips from the pork that’s cooking to add back on top of the pork once it’s done.
As the time passes and every applicant is told no, even Gittarackur and Hisoka, it is my turn. I go up to the table and present my small portion sized plates, instead of taking the whole pig up with me. Both the examiners take a bite from the plate, and i wait in silence for the approval. 
“ Well it’s about time someone came up with something tender, and flavourful!” the woman cheers. I let out the sigh of relief, that I didn't realize I was holding in until now. She congratulates me on passing but informs the rest that they have failed. I walk back to my station and pay no mind to the stares and the commotion going around, sucks to be them, at least they know cooking isn't easy. 
Eventually a blimp with the Hunter’s association flies over us and the next thing we know everyone is giving a second chance at this challenge. Unbelievable.
We’re met with what looks like a canyon, where we must get these spider eagle eggs and we need to jump to get them? What are we, in gymnastics class? We end up learning that the only way back up is by feeling a breeze.. Only issue is, who knows when the next gust of air will happen.. 
Pathetically enough someone doesn't think things through and jump down, never returning back up.I look over to the pink and purple haired men and ask if they’re scared.
“ Oh darling, I’m not scared of anything.” Hisoka giggles 
With that you all jump and hang on waiting for the next gust of wind. Unlike some other idiots who decided to all land on the same web line, i Hold on to the web line with no one on it, true that it’s further from the eggs, but at least I can have something to hang on that won't break.
Soon later we’re all eating away at the hard boiled eggs, all smiling in complete content of the taste that fills out taste buds.

Captain 
Levi Ackerman X reader
Two comrades; humanity’s Strongest and humanity’s Bravest. A bond between Two warriors who have nothing to lose.
WC: 2594
TW: some form of bullying..
A/N: Ah so i hope y’all enjoy this! Captain Levi is just wow! I just hope i can do him justice! 
MASTERLIST
Chapter 2
Tumblr media
You were only 18 when you decided to take part in the cadet corps to start training, you were tired of just being known as the little girl with no parents, no family, no chance at a good life. But you wanted to be something more, to help humanity.. Even when humanity didn’t want you, you wanted to protect humanity. 
To say it s a challenge is an understatement, but all you really needed was practice. You would always struggle but nonetheless you always pushed through and made it to be one of the notable top 10 of group 97 cadet corps. Among the cadets you were never one to speak, very quiet, and reserved. You had asked to be part of the scout regiment, when others heard your request, many considered you to be on a suicide mission.When you had made your arrival many of your now fellow comrades would make small comments about your lack of communication, you would simply respond when given orders or have a small conversation.
 During your first year you bumped into Levi numerous times. You admired him from afar, how he carried himself with confidence.  Many of the females would talk about humanity's strongest and admire him during every expedition, even go as far as say he liked them for saving them.
But Levi had noticed Y/N from the very start, he noticed her skills, her quick movements, how obedient she was. No matter the task, you always found a way to get the job done even if it meant putting her life on the line. During expeditions you would be partnered with him, this was before he was appointed captain. These were the few times he would hear you speak, it was during moments of fighting a titan. You would yell your own commands at him, or warn him about any danger coming in his direction. He would admire you too, but so did many of the other comrades. Many would try to converse with you, but to their fail, you never reciprocated anything back. To the other males in the corps would mention how beautiful you were, how docile like you were. 
It was late at night, everyone was sleeping besides those who were on watch duty. But like many nights you struggled to sleep, but you didn’t think you would bump into Levi. You had walked down the hall towards the dinning hall to go make yourself a cup of tea. That was until you saw a small dim light coming from the dining hall, and you saw Levi. He sat in a chair with his hands hovering over his tea cup as he stared at the contents that were in his cup.
“ Sorry, I’ll be in and out.” you mumble and take small and quiet footsteps, walking towards the tea kettle to fill it with water and start the fire stove. As you wait for the water to boil you open the cabinet to see what teas are available. To your sadness your favorite tea was out, Jasmine Tea. you sigh and look at the remaining teas available and decide to pick lavender. You reach for the jar of honey and add what you need into your cup, before you begin pouring the piping hot water into the cup. Once you stir your tea you begin walking towards the door to leave Levi alone, but he stops you.
“ You may stay if you wish.”
“ I wouldn’t want to disturb you, I can leave.”
“ You would not be disturbing me, the choice is yours. You can stay and provide me with your company or you may leave. “ He takes another sip from his cup as he stares you down with his eyes. He watched you closely, waiting to see your next move, to hear your next comment. 
“ Very well, I will provide you with my presence.” You turn around completely and walk towards the table he sat on. Just as you were about to pull out the chair for yourself, Levi kicked it out for you. With a small nod you thank him and sit down, and sip your tea. For a few moments no words were exchanged, as you fell under the gaze of Levi. You could sense his stare but paid no mind to it, well that was until he broke the silence. 
“ So you’re the one who’s been having my tea.” 
You look up from your cup and look at Levi properly for the first time ever. He had the sharpest jawline, eyes that looked blue like.. Almost like the color of rainy clouds, a dark gray. Though he never truly showed any other face expression, you admired his stern like face, always so serious. “ Oh my apologies, I didn’t realize. I’ll be sure to get my own then when I can.” you mutter back. 
“ It’s fine, we can share it, not like I have much to offer back for your constant support out in the field.”   
“ I didn’t expect anything in return.”
There is a brief pause before You ask Levi why he’s up. You had wondered why humanity's strongest would be up, when he should be resting instead.
“ I have a lot of things on my mind, I could ask you the same question.” Levi retorts back. You shake your small tea cup to mix the tea in your cup deciding on what to say to him. 
“ I can’t sleep.”
“ Is it because of today’s expedition?” 
“ No, I just have trouble sleeping sometimes.” You grab your whole cup from both sides and twist it left and right trying to distract yourself. Oh how you hated being questioned.
Levi hadn't taken a second to remove his eyes from you. Levi was never one for much conversation, let alone small talk, but at this moment he didn’t mind it at all.
“ like me? I hadn't noticed Micheal liking me, I thought he just wanted to be partners.” 
“ Don’t be so naive, half of our comrades fancy you Y/N. I have to sit down and hear all of them babble about you.”
“ You think you’re the only one suffering? I have to listen to the girls fawn over you, hell even Petra is in love with you!” You let out a laugh at the end and smile to yourself, as you recall the memory of Petra gushing over Levi and how he opened the door for her and that was when she confessed her love for him.
‘“ I suppose it’s safe to assume you don’t admire me at such a level then.”
“ I admire your leadership and combat skills, you’re very quick with everything that you do.. I could only dream of doing what you do.”
“ This is coming from one of the bravest people on the team, Skills can be taught, bravery cant.” he takes another sip of his tea.
“ I’m as brave as everyone who risks their lives.. And may I ask why you’re still drinking your cold tea, would you like me to make you another hot cup instead?”
“ No that won’t be necessary, I believe we should both go to bed. We have a long day of training tomorrow.” Levi stands from his seat and pushes his chair back towards the table.You are quick to do the same. Both of you walk towards the bucket that holds the dirty dishes and place your cups carefully. That night the two of you bid your goodnights and went your separate ways. 
After that night the two of you had made it a purpose to meet and have a cup of tea before bed.Well more so either you or Levi would join the other if one was caught having tea.Many nights the two would just bask in the silence and other days you would talk about anything that came to mind. 
You began to enjoy the company as you usually didn’t speak with anyone, and you knew the same was said with Levi. Although between the both of you Levi was a bit more outspoken, given his authoritative self, but for the most part he kept much to himself. 
Levi would begin to look forward to these small moments, simply to listen to you and be listened to. He couldn’t help but feel some sort of pride as he knew you didn’t talk with many. So knowing that you would express to him made him as one would say ‘ happy.’ But being happy was something that truly never really mattered. 
When it came to training days, you would be the first to start and last to leave. You hated leaving without perfecting whatever it was you were doing. Levi would watch you redo the movement until you were satisfied. He too was hard on himself, he would think ‘ if you cant do it perfectly then what was the point of trying.’
“ You turned too fast, just when you’re about to turn, bring your weapon to the center. That will help stabilize your attack.” He stands a few feet away with his arms crossed instructing you. You try a couple of times but for some reason you couldn't bring yourself to steady yourself after the swing.  
“ It looks like I have to do everything.” He mumbles as he approaches you. What you didn’t expect was for him to stand behind you so close and lay his hand over yours which gripped your sword, while his other hand rested over your hip. He repeats the action he instructed you to demonstrate the motion he was telling you to do. He practices a couple of times with you, until you decided you can do it yourself. You did it a few times until you were satisfied with the results. 
“ Thank you Levi..”
“As I told you, skill can be taught. Now let's head back inside, dinner is soon.”
When it was dinner time the two of you sat at your own tables, never really interacting with one another unless you were alone. In fact, neither one of you really acknowledged the other at all. 
“ Levi looked so good today at practice.” Petra gushes over her crush.
“ Yeah but looks like he was more interested in Y/N, since she got one on one with him.” Another girl from the side jumps in. I feel everyone turn their heads to me to see if I would confirm. But i just continued to eat my meal, not giving anyone any answer.
“ Y/N, is that true? You know I like him, why would you do that!” 
“ Petra, I have no interest in Levi, do as you wish with him.” I take one last bite of my food before getting up from my seat. As i walk to the bucket to wash my dishes, I’m approached by Michael.
“ Say Y/N, what do you say we go on a small walk together tonight.” Michael leans against the wall beside me. 
“ Michael, we have a long day ahead of us, I advise you to rest and not take meaningless walks.”
“ It wouldn’t be meaningless if you join me.”
“ Micheal, the answer is no, thank you for the offer.” I dry my dishes and begin to walk away to go take a shower, as you felt tired of smelling like sweat and covered in dirt. 
You gathered all of your belongings and head to the public showers to shower, you put all of your things on the bench outside of the shower curtain. You hear some giggles and laughter and what you hear is your stuff being taken.. You sigh but finish your shower first before heading out to see what they left behind, that’s when you see they left behind a towel for you to use. You grab it and go back into your little stall to dry your hair before covering your body and walking out. The cold air hit’s your skin as you walk out back into the hallway.
“ I believe these belong to you.” Levi speaks as he holds out the clothing you had once taken with you to the shower. 
“ Yes.. Thank you.” you take the clothing from him and walk away in pure embarrassment. Not that you would let it show. 
You walk into the sleeping headquarters and notice a couple girls laughing and giggling, along with Petra. 
“ looks like someone was missing their clothing.” 
“ Forgot that you needed things to wear after a shower?”
Were a few of the comments that were made. you dismiss them and walk by them to my bed, you lay out the towel over the bed post to let it dry. 
“ Maybe next time i wouldn’t-”
you go over and give a strong punch to Amane, not letting her finish her comment. 
“Between the stupid choices you make and your blabbing, I don't know what cleared my head up more. If I were you I would keep quiet, If Petra has a problem with me, then she may talk to me directly.” 
The girls around you are stunned, they had never seen you get mad, let alone acted out in violence besides if it was training or out attacking titans. “ As for the rest of you, Stay in your line.”
That same night you decided not to meet with Levi as you were already too embarrassed from the earlier encounter. So with that you went earlier to get your tea and walk around the hallways instead. But to your surprise Levi was already sitting down with two cups already on the table. 
“ Oh, you’re here early.” You state with a tone of surprise. 
“ I didn’t realize I had a time frame I needed to follow.” he Bites back at you.
“ No, of course not.”
You walk over and pull out your chair and grab your cup and take a sip of the tea for the night. Hmm he made chamomile tea, one of your many favorites. 
“ May I ask why your clothing were taken?” Levi asks. 
“ Ask your admirer, I would get your little girlfriend in check.” 
“ I don’t see the point of me addressing a situation I do not care for.”
“ Then I will resolve it myself.” I look at him before I take another sip of my tea, not much after that was said besides a few exchanges of glances between one another. That was until Someone decided to ruin the moment. 
“ I thought we had a long day ahead of us, yet here you are up with shortie over here.” Michael from the corner of the room speaks, you turn around to meet his eyes and turn back to your tea, dismissing him. 
“My advice was for you, considering you’re slipping left and right during training and can’t aim if your life depended on it… so i assumed it was due to lack of sleep for you.” 
“For someone who just had to walk the hallway with just a towel, you have Quite the attitude. hmm What Levi, you have something t-”  Michael is cut off by Levi, not even realizing that he got up form his seat. 
You turn back to see Levi give a hard punch and a kick right to hit gut. “ If I were you Michael, I would shut up and take her advice. Now move your pathetic ass back to sleep.” Levi walks back to the table and sits down acting as though nothing happened. 
With that Michael picks himself off of the floor and drags himself out of your presence. 
“ That was a solid hit Levi.”
“ Did you expect anything less?” 
“ No.”
“ Then keep your comment to yourself.” 
You couldn’t help but let out a small laugh and shake your head and take another sip of your tea. The whole night passed by with no other words being exchanged.

Chapter 9
Tumblr media
Over the years both of the assassins had gone and completed many missions, each making a name for themselves. Without realizing it, both Illumi and Noa had been competing for the top spot for best assassin. As well as they were both going and preparing for the hunters exam. 
Illumi needed the hunter’s license to help him when it came to gathering information. Noa just needed the license to have under her belt, nothing of much interest to her. The both had begun their journey. 
Noa had arrived first, making her applicant 47. When Noa walked in she examined all of the present applicants. The only person that caught her eye was a clown/ magician who sat and shuffled his cards. Noa was very intrigued and stared at him with complete focus, watching as he shuffled each card so quickly without a mistake. Well that was until a small card flew out of the desk but was pulled back. Surprised she uses gyo to see if there was anything , and to her surprise she notices something like gum attached to his cards..
Noa’s intense stare didn’t go unnoticed by applicant 44, in fact he enjoyed this attention. Oh how he loved being admired. He stopped his shuffling to glance up with his gold amber eyes, once he saw her eye to eye he was impressed by her unwithering stare. Noa wasn’t bothered at all, for she thrived at such tension. To be polite, like the magician he his, he passes Noa a smile, in which Noa returns one back. Always keep your friends close and your enemies closer,  though she wasn’t all too sure where to place this magician. 
Without much thought Noa walks towards a wall that has a high ledge and jumps up to sit at the very top, this provides Noa with a view of all her competitions and those who will enter. Noa always knew it was better to get a bird’s eye view, always easier to see planned attacks. 
One after another contestants fill the room, until a small white haired boy with his little skateboard comes in. This alone was the start of a moment she wished to avoid. 
Noa (pov) 
Is that Killua? No, it couldn’t be. How could he be here, he was never allowed outside of his estate grounds unless it was for practice for missions or with a butler.. Unless, Illumi is here.. I look around to try to find him, but nothing. Illumi not with killua? Something must be wrong.. I jumps off the ledge and walk towards killua, hoping that i would catch him off guard.
“ Well if it isn’t Killua.” I shuffle his hair from behind him, startling Killua in the process..
“ N-Noa?”
“ Don’t look so scared Kil, it’s just me.” I move to stand in front of him and laugh. 
Killua takes a step back from me and takes an attack stance ready to fight me if I attack. “ Killua, you can relax, I do not wish to fight you, nor will I plan on it.” Killua looks at me with his intense stare contemplating if i meant my words, to which he decides that i am and relaxes. 
Pft, to think he thought he could beat me in a fight.. poor boy doesn’t even know how to use nen, let alone fight me.
“ What are you doing here?” Killua asks as he avoids eye contact with me. 
“ Well no particular reason, I just thought I could do it and just have the license under my belt. How about you Killua, I’m surprised you’re here, is someone with you?” 
“ No, I'm here alone, I wanted to see how hard this hunter's exam was.”
“ Hmm. I’m surprised your parents let you go alone, thus, i'm under the impression that you went against them. or better, on a mission”
 “ Maybe.”
I laugh and begin walking back to my original spot, i notice that Killua doesn’t follow, so I stop to turn back and move my head in a way that says “ let’s go.” He begins following me but we are stopped by another applicant, number 16.  He greets us and introduces himself to us, and tells us that he can tell that we are rookies and new to the whole exam. I gave a side look to killua and see that he too was already looking at me. 
“ Here let's toast to friendship!” Tonpa extends two cans of what looks like soda. I grab both the cans and open them before giving one to killua. The moment I open it I can tell something was added to it.. Hmm friendship you say.. 
Killua and I take a sip of our drinks and look at one another, I laugh to which he too laughs. Ha, he could tell it was messed with too. We finished our drinks and bid our goodbyes acting like we were buddy buddies with him.  I climb back up to my little ledge and make myself comfortable, with killua following my moves. 
“ So much for friendship, he tried poisoning us already.” 
“ Yeah, what an idiot! If only he knew we were trained assassins” Killua laughs and folds his arms behind his head and closes his eyes. We stayed quiet and just let the chattering in the air occupy our thoughts, well that was until Killua asks me a question. 
“ Noa, why did you stop visiting us?”
“ Well I had a lot of missions, nothing personal towards you, in fact you’re my favorite Zoldyck.”
“ Well that’s a lie, your favorite zoldyck is Illumi. Hey, actually was it because of big brother that you stopped coming?”
“ Hm sure you can say illumi was once a favorite to me, but don’t worry i can promise you that you’re my favorite. As for illumi being a reason, I will neither confirm nor deny.”
“ So that’s gotta be a yes!”
“ I take it you won’t accept any other answer.”
“Only if you can give me a convincing answer.” He turns to give me a small side smirk with side eyes. I shake off his comment and give a small chuckle and continue to look at all the applicants walk in. 
I keep a mental note of who I must keep an eye on, and to be honest none look like they’ll be any trouble. Well that’s until an applicant walks in.. he’s handed the badge number 301.. With every step he takes he rattles and shakes.. Much like he’s got the jitters or chills. Wait a minute.. What is he wearing… I’m no snitch but someone needs to call the fashion police. Has no one told him how terrible that outfit looks? He walks towards the magician, and begins talking with him from what I can see. Hmm, it looks like they know one another. And on that note, why do they both have a smaller waist than I do?  
“ That pink haired guy looks kinda creepy.” Killua comments.
“ Hm.. Him? Oh not at all, his little partner on the other hand, terrible fashion choice.”
“ his outfit, more like his hair and what is up with his face?”
“ Don’t be rude killua!”
“ You’re one to talk, you just made fun of his outfit!” Killua yells. 
We both bicker back and forth each defending our own opinion, that is until the pink haired man points in our direction. That is when we both stop to look at the two figures in the distance…
“ Wait, do you know them?” Killua asks me.
“ No.. not that i know of.”
“ well they sure know you..”
I stare back until they both look away. I jump off the ledge and dust myself off, to which Killua follows as well. I turn to look at the young boy, “ Well I'm going to walk around and see if I can learn anything.. You should do the same.” 
Killua nods and bids me a goodbye without a second word. “ Killua.” I call before he gets too far from me, he turns to look at me with his cat-like eyes. 
“ I wish you the best, just know i have no intention as i mentioned before to hurt you, that being said if you need anything just find me if you can, I’ll always be near. ” 
“ I can handle myself.”
“ I wouldn’t doubt it, but very well, I will see you around.”
I walk away and shuffle my way through the crowd, I try my best to avoid any contact with anyone, just so I can avoid any trouble.. That was until some idiot bumps into me, I guess I’ll be nice and apologize. 
“ oh I’m sorry!” 
The man stops and laughs, “ yes, you should be.” 
Excuse me? I’ll show you who should be sorry, “ My apologies, what did you say?” I stand with both hands interlocked in front of me with my head hanging low, to look like I'm submitting to him and really apologizing to him.
“ Can’t even hear me, it would be better for you to drop from the exam before it starts.” He chuckles and turns to face me.
Without a second thought I walk past him and gasps can be heard all around me. I’m guessing no one thought I’d do anything.. Never judge a book by its cover, “ Looks like you’re dropping first, quite literally.” I smile as I hold his heart in my hand and watch him fall to the floor. I look back at the heart in my hands and dig my fingers into the organ and rip it apart. Causing whatever blood was left in the organ to splatter around. Out of reflex I dropped the heart and caught whatever it was being thrown at me. In between my fingers I could tell it’s a card, I brought the card in front of me to see what card I held. Looks like I have the queen of hearts, how ironic. Already knowing who it belongs to, I face the magician and do his little card trick, by making the card disappear. 
“ Now you see it, and now you don’t.” I smile towards the magician, to which he applauds me. 
“My my.. It looks like I have a competition.” 
I  walk towards him and notice his little friend stands next to him, “Competition? Well I suppose you decided we are opponents rather than allies. Fine by me, not that I see you as any competition, I would waste my time in a fight with you.” 
“ A waste of time, you wound me with your words.” he dramatically throws his hand over his heart. 
“ Well while you're wounded, I assume you wouldn’t mind if I took your cards.” I then hold his deck of cards in my hands. He looks at me taken back by my actions but doesn’t question it. But waves me off. I begin shuffling the cards myself, this is when I notice that his cards bend like regular cards, but sharper than a dagger in the corners. 
“ So delicate flower, what is your name?”
“ Noa, Noa Lucafist.”
“ Hisoka , and this here is Gittarackur.”
“ Lovely to meet you, Hisoka and Gittarackur.”
After the introductions, we begin discussing what we are to expect in the exam. This is when i find out that Hisoka had done this before but was eliminated for such careless acts. But I couldn’t help but notice that Gittarackur kept his solid gaze on me, not once looking away. His stare alone felt familiar, intense.. Cold, yet comforting… I turn to look at him but he turns away, okay? 
Just when I’m about to ask him if there’s something wrong, an announcement that the hunter exam is about to start.. This is when we all learn that we must follow the examiner. 
The three of us all begin to start running to catch up with the examiner. I don't worry too much since I’ve ran countless miles for hours before. The key is to take longer strides and level your heart rate. I notice that Killua passes me with his little skateboard, letting the small breeze blow through his hair as he just relaxes. Smart boy. I continue to run at my pace until the pace begins to pick up.. Damnit, just when I was getting comfortable. With a sigh , I just pick up my pace a bit, but that is when i see others begin to fall behind and even give out completely.  
How could they have already given up, we haven't even started! With my attention somewhere else I didn't notice that I had ran closer to Gittarackur and bumped into him, almost knocking myself over. But He’s quick to grab me before I could even stumble, allowing me to keep my pace without stopping. 
“My apologies, and thank you.” I thanked him, but I got nothing in return. Hm, maybe he’s just an awkward man.. 
We continue to run for what seems like hours and I saw that more than half of the people had already dropped out.. A shame, I thought this was going to be harder. That is when i see a little boy like Killua run up past me reaching around where Killua is. Huh, another kid.  I watch the two kids and then hear some grown man begin yelling at Killua telling him to stop disrespecting the exam. But Killua isn’t bothered much by his comment, and actually seems confused. That is until the other kid backs Killua up telling the older man that it’s not an endurance test, just that we need to keep up with the examiner, smart kid. 
Killua slows down to start talking with the kid and that’s when he jumps off of his board and begins running with all of us. I smile at the two kids knowing that they are probably talking about some kid things. 
“ Do you know that white haired boy?” For the first time Gittarackur speaks up. 
“ Why do you ask?”
“ You were with him on the ledge back in the waiting room.”
“ mm, Yes i do, someone I’ve known for years..  So if you hurt him, you will regret it.”
“ I have no such plans.”
“ Good.”
We continue to run besides each other as we begin to descend up the stairs. Hisoka seems not too bothered by any of this running as he runs with a smile on his face, such a peculiar man. He’s a transmuter that’s for sure.. That’s when it hits me, does Gittarackur know how to use nen?
“Gittarackur, may i ask you a question? “ If you must.” He rattles as he turns his head to look at me and responds.
“ Are you a nen user by chance, I imagine if Hisoka is one.. He would only surround himself with those who are of either equal or stronger levels of strength.”
“ Yes i am.”
“ Then what are you exactly? Type I mean.”
“ A manipulator.”
“ Oh.. so am I!” 
“ I see.”
That is when our conversation ends, did I wish he spoke more? Most definitely, but i’ll take what i can get. I’m brought back to earth once I see light begin to fill the tunnel, finally we’ve reached the exit! I pick up my pace trying to get to the end faster rather than later. 
Finally we reach the end and out of the tunnel, I walk towards where Hisoka is and behind follow his buddy. Some of the applicants that are left begin asking if this is the end of the first stage, this is when we learn that we are in the Numere Wetlands and we need to pass to get past the first stage… The examiner then begins to explain the nature of the whole land and about the creatures that live in it. but a stranger comes out all wounded, or should i say creature.. The moment “ it” popped up it began explaining what one of the creatures would want, or rather what it would want, to eat human flesh. 
I laugh internally and begin grabbing the rose thorns from the little flower brooch that I wear. All the other applicants begin to make sense of the whole situation, and even begin accusing Satotz of being a false examiner.  I sing in a low voice ‘ roses are red and violets are blue, tell a lie and these thorns will kill you.” In seconds the little metal pieces pierce right through the creature. 
“ Well you took away my fun delicate flower” Hisoka grins towards me.
“ There is only one room for a deceiver and it’s me, sorry hisoka.” I walk and approach the body to pull out my thorns, and shove them into my pocket. The crowd looks at me like I have just committed a crime, ungrateful is what they are.
The examiner applauds my actions but informs others that this was to be expected. Well at least I know that none of this will be too difficult.
