There was an uneasy tension in the air as I followed Levi out of Erwin's office when their meeting was over. Eren's incarceration was rescinded and the next plan of action was to try and figure out the other titan spies hiding within the walls. Of course, I knew who they were but I can't just blurt out their names. Yet.

Levi walked quickly out to the stables towards his horse and I wonder if he remembers me settling him beneath his blankets this morning. "Oi brat, let's go." I look at Levi in confusion as he got ready to saddle upon his horse.

"Where are we going?"

"Hanji is waiting for you on the wall. Let's get a move on already." I hesitantly walk towards the onyx horse and it huffs at me. Levi was already sitting on his horse and I scratch my head.

"How do I get on?" My cheeks slowly turn red, realising how useless I am in this world. Erwin would always pick me up like a child and help me on a horse but I never learnt to get on one myself.

"You've got to be kidding me." Levi sighs out, leaning over and easily picking me up before settling me down in front of him. I suck in a gasp as I feel his arms wrap around my waist to grab the reins in front of me as his horse bolts off in a gallop. I shriek lightly at the speed, quickly holding onto the horse's mane and I feel Levi's chest press against my back.

Oh, holy fucking shit!

I turn red, my whole body suddenly focusing on the feeling of Levi sitting behind me as I feel his breath fan my neck. "W-what is your horse's name?" I try to focus on something else other than literally having Levi on me and I hear him tsk.

"Why do you want to know?"

"I'm c-curious. I never figured out his name in the show and I want to hear it straight from you." Levi stays quiet for a moment, the wind howling past my ears as he ran through the streets past various houses and civilians. I turn to Levi slightly behind me to see his brows furrowed in confusion. "Wait, you don't have a name for him."

"What's the point of doing something so stupid-"

"-I'm calling you Midnight." I grin down at the horse, patting it gently and it neighs gently at the name choice as if it likes it.

I hear Levi sigh out in frustration behind me. "You had to call her Midnight."

It's a she!?

Well, I'm not an animal expert.

"Who said I was creative." I shrug, chuckling as I turn back around to watch the scenery fly past me.

It was oddly beautiful, just like in the anime despite the dark atmosphere of pending death. The sky was a bright blue with puffs of clouds wafting about, the sun beating down warmth just over the walls. The sun was like a giant orange ball, casting golden light over the people within the walls.
