MINE | LEVI ❀

Thank you For 600 Reads! This is seriously an achievement for me and it means so much! Here's the next chapter!

I ride on my horse behind the carriage Captain Levi was sitting in with Eren. Eren had been unconscious ever since he was in the mouth of the female titan. The gates of our city become more and more visible and I become more and more excited to lay in a bed and rest.

I sigh and rest my head on my horse's neck. This expedition had caused so much stress. My ankle is in pain and my whole squad (except for Eren) was killed by the blonde titan. Although it does make me sad that my team was gone, I could tell it affected the captain more than me.

He had been with those soldiers for a while now and he actually seemed to like them. He doesn't show much affection for his soldiers, but those on his team were treated just a bit different. You could really tell he cared for them.

I continue to think about the outcome of this expedition. I can't help but think that if Eren turned into a titan instead of listening to the corporal that we wouldn't have lost as many people as we did. He was obviously able to put up a fight against the titan.

Loud thuds behind me cause me to forget about what I'm thinking and turn around. "You're kidding!" I mumble to myself. Behind us were even more titans. I've been fighting all day and I don't think I have the energy to keep going.

This is my job. I think to myself. I pull out my swords and turn back around to face the titans. "Y/n, you can't fight them." The corporal quietly says. "I know what we need to do." The corporal turns his gaze over to the carriage carrying our fallen soldiers.

"No. You don't mean-" The corporal nods his head. Those in the carriage with the corpse's of our soldiers lower the door on the back of the cart. The body's roll out onto the ground and the titans behind us stop to consume the humans.

My gaze returns back to the wall. We're so close. The gate appears larger when we come closer. I look over at the corporal in the carriage who was looking down at his lap.

"Captain." I whisper. He looks up at me and raises an eyebrow. I can't figure out what to say to him. What do you say to someone who's lost their team? He realizes I have nothing to say and looks back down at his lap.

Soldiers on the wall notice that were back. "Their early." They say to each other. The gate raises and we make our way back into the town. The people of the town gather to witness us coming back from the expedition. They mock us and complain about their tax money. Eren sits up in the carriage and looks at the people, opening his mouth.

"Let it go." The corporal hisses. Eren shuts his mouth and lays back down. We get back to HQ. I take my horse and place him/her back into their stable. I feed the horse and give it water. He/she is probably very tired from that expedition. I walk into the cafeteria to grab some lunch.

Everyone in the room is quiet. This was our first expedition outside of the walls and everyone now knows how terrible this world is. I look up at Jean. Even the goofball is now sad.

"Hey, Jean." I say sitting across from him.

"Hey." He sighs.

"No gorgeous today?" I ask. I try to joke just to lighten the mood. It almost felt wrong to be joking right now. He gives me a weak smile and looks back down at his food.

I've always considered Jean to be a friend of mine. I don't hang out with him as much as I do Mikasa, Eren and Armin, but he still meant something to me. He would always joke around with people and pretend like he wanted to date them. Sometimes, I would joke back with him.

I always knew that Jean had a huge crush on Mikasa. He plays around with people and I think that's what makes Mikasa believe he doesn't feel that way about her. Not to mention the fact that she's so blinded with her love for Eren. I truly think that Jean would treat Mikasa like a princess.

I finish my food and stack my plate for it to be washed. "Y/n!" I hear a voice call behind me. I look back to see Hange.

"Hey." I smile at them.

"Levi never came down to get some food. I have lots of work to do so I was wondering if you could bring him his food." I look at the woman and then at the plate full of food she had ready for the corporal.

"Yeah, I can do that." I say.

"Thank you so much. Some day, I promise I'll return this favor." They hand me the plate and they walk out of the cafeteria. I make my way out of the doors and walk down the hallway. Guilt rises in my stomach with each step closer to the corporals office. I feel guilty for being the only survivor in his squad.

I stand in front of the corporal's door, getting the courage to knock on it.
