A Perfect But Not So Perfect Match |Levi x Reader|

🥩#05

Y/n's POV

The training was over and we are all panting heavily.
I saw Sasha and Connie they're gulping the water down like there's no tomorrow. I chuckled at how they act and just shake my head.

Suddenly I remembered.

FLASHBACK

when I'm looking for a dummy, but basically I'm not really— Just to kill some time. I take a rest to the nearest tree branches, I landed carefully and removed some leaves that got stuck in my hair and some are in my uniform. I heard the sound of someone coming this way. It was Annie,I thought her skills are great but she's far from Mikasa. I'm expecting that she'll ignore my existence, but she landed at the branch where I'm resting. I got surprised but I don't know if I'm gonna talk to her. I look at her for a brief moment then continue on what I'm doing‘ Damn those leaves are very itchy!’

“You're not really into this, are you?” I look at her direction she really don't talk to anyone much and we've never even talked for once until today.
“ Oh... Well...”I said smiling awkwardly to her. She just chuckled.
“Well before that baldy sees us slacking off, let's get going. And by the way, be careful.”she said to me I just nodded and smiled while she headed to the west.

END OF FLASHBACK.

“Y/n!!! Here drink some water! Not like us, you don't look torn up like everyone else haha! As expected from you!” Marco offered me some water, he's a very joyful person, unlike his friend Jean who always looks like He's about to explode, but they also have something in common too. Even though Jean is like a panicking horse, He's kind even though not everyone of us notices it. Thankfully Marco is always by his side.
“Naah! Haha to tell you the truth—come here” I instructed him too come closer his confused but he just follows my order.
“I slack off” I said he look at me with a ‘I don't believe you’ reaction but I just nodded.
“How?! Sasha and Connie tried but they ended up being caught!” He said with disbelief, I laugh at his reaction ‘He's so adorable!’ I thought. Marco is like my younger brother and we really get along pretty well, however when Jean saw just the two of us chatting with each other, he quickly shouts at Marco to come with him for some random bullshits ‘I bet he's just jealous hahaha’
“ You didn't expect that comin'ey! Haha” I laugh at him and he looks defeated.

“Oi! Marco! Y/n! What are you guys chatting about? Y/n, Why are you laughing?” Jean said walking to us. ‘Speaking of the devil’ I smirk. ‘Sorry Jean boy but you're too adorable when getting tease’ I walk up to Marco then cling my arms in Marco's shoulder. Marco look at me but I ignore it, I look at Jean and he looks really annoyed while looking where my hands are.
“Oh it's nothing... It's just Marco is acting, really cute.” I look at Jean like I'm saying to him ‘What are you gonna do about it’ in my gaze, I think he gets what I'm trying to say that's why he blushed. I got surprised a little bit by his reaction but then, a smile creeps out of my face. I let go of Marco and back away.
“ I'll take my leave first, Marco! Haha I think Jean really needs you. Right now.” I said to Marco then look at Jean. He is still blushing so I smirk while wiggling one of my brows. He looked away quickly. Marco still don't get what we're saying and that makes me laugh.
I turn my back to them and walk away.

I saw Armin running through my direction. I paused for a moment
“Y/n!” he said when he finally reach where I am.
“Armin you good? Does something bad happen?” I ask him he shake his head while still panting.
“ Have you seen Marco and Jean? I have something to tell them.” he said. I nodded then pointed their direction.
“ There, I saw them talking to each other.” I said innocently, Armin nodded then run again towards Jean and Marco's direction.

“Rest first! Then we're gonna head back to your barracks.” Instructor shouted. I sat in a log infront of the fire, its getting colder day by day.‘ Only five months till all of us will graduate and only a month before my birthday.’ I thought. Well I used to celebrate my birthday, but not anymore. There's no need celebrating ‘that’ day. I don't even know if I deserve to be born in this world anyway, I'm always thinking that‘ maybe I have to die first— then reincarnated before, having a peaceful life... Maybe this is not my time to live yet, that's why death is chasing after me'.  I just look at flames, then I remembered the people from the village especially the children. ‘ Well jokes on them, I'm not giving up this life that easily. I have to protect the people I value the most. I'll protect them until I know they're safe.’ I then remember my uncle, who always supported me. This time around, I'm the one who will protect him. ‘I know its not possible for me on doing that alone and that might be the cause of my death... But I'm ready to risk it all, just to protect them.’

I was deep in my thought when suddenly someone tap me on the shoulder. I got surprised but quickly turn to face who is it.
“ Hey! We should get our horse now, everyone is getting ready to leave.” Krista said I nodded and stood up, dusting off the dust in my uniform.
“Ok let's go” I said and we both walk away where our horse is.‘Every one named their horse, should I name you too?’ I thought while caressing his hair.

We're now in our barracks, those boys room are far from ours but you can hear their scream especially Jean and Eren, I bet Connie is being their round boy. Anyways their gonna shut up once Instructor comes.

The top bunk is where Sasha is sleeping, while I occupy the bunk below her. I am just sitting in my bed while trying to fix my uniform that I'll wear tomorrow. Sasha, Historia and Ymir are chatting while Mikasa and Annie are already asleep. I finished readying my uniform, I look at the three, they're still chatting with each other Krista is trying to hold her laugh. I chuckled at their cuteness. When I was their age, I don't have friends, only the old people in the village would want to chat with me, I was fine with that though and I kinda enjoyed hearing their stories.

I stand up ‘I'll go get some fresh air before going to sleep’. I was walking my way at the door when Krista ask me.
“Y/n, where are you going?” She said with a confused look on her face, I smile at her.
“Getting some fresh air before going to sleep” I said they all just nodded and I headed outside. I'm now in the balcony of our barracks. I lean to the Railings, when the wind breeze hit my face I close my eyes
‘It's very peaceful, I'm hoping Everyday is as Peaceful as this moment’ I opened my eyes, remembering all the things I've been through, ‘One day, I'll have the peace that I've always wanted.. I won't runaway, not anymore.’ I said, I dont know but it makes me smile.

“It seems you already know how to survive here, L/n” I quickly turn around and see Instructor. My hand instantly saluted like it has its own life.
“Its risky for you to be outside this late, especially you don't have anyone by your side” He said while looking at me. I got shocked ‘ Does he know anything? How did he know?’
“He told me all about it. I know everything from the beginning. He told me, ever since your young and also I'm the one who helped him planning on bringing you here.” He said. I'm so surprised right now. I can't say a single word, its like my mind is just blank.

‘ Erwin, he planned this all along. I didn't expect that he had already planned something for me. He's still protecting me ’. I smiled ‘I owe him alot’
“He wouldn't bring you here without planning anything, He is a clever man. Unlike his niece who likes to slack off to a far away trees” I got surprised and nervous at the same time in his last words.
“Ah.... Instructor. Thank you... For everything.. And I Promise!I will not ever slack off!” I said and saluted to him.
“All of you deserve to live, that's why I'm here. To guide you all.Teaching you all the survival things, even  though I know,not all of you will survive. ” He said,I looked down. I clench both of my hands, I'm trying holding my tears. ‘We deserve to live?...do I?’
“ Now take some rest, you all did great back there. I expect the same tomorrow.” He turned his back from me and walked away. I smiled. ‘ I deserve to live?’
