Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

I Promise

You felt a pair of hands on your shoulders and then violently shaking. You could feel strands of hair hitting your face as you opened your eyes. "Finally!" Willow's face was only a couple of inches away from yours as she stood over you. "We are all going to breakfast. I mean, Kai already left, but Felix is waiting for us!" Willow backed away and walked towards the foot of the bed. "Also Erwin came by to drop off your uniform." Willow held a stack of clothes in her hands and gently placed them on the bed.

"Thank you." You got out of the bed and grabbed the stack of clothes. Felix and Willow walked out of the room to let you dress and you soon met them out in the hall.

"So, is this normally breakfast?" You stared at the one piece of bred and oatmeal. Willow nodded her head as you stuffed the piece of bread into her mouth. "Sometimes we'll have less if they are running out of rations, but that's normally nto an issue since a lot of people die." Felix nudged Willow with a glare. "I'm just kidding of course!" She smiled nervously and continued to chew on her bread.

You looked over at Kai, who was sitting quietly besides you. There was still tension between you two, but you knew that once you proved yourself at training today then he would respect you a bit more.

"So, Y/N. We don't really know anything about you." Felix looked up at you, tilting his head. "Oh, I mean there's not much to me. I lost my family when Wall Maria fell, so Erwin took me in. I don't really have any hobbies, or friends. I've focused a lot on the corps for the past 2 years so..." Felix and Willow listened intently and then Willow pointed to Kai.

"So you and Kai are similar! He lost his parents two years ago too!" Kai lifted his head up to look at Willow. "You really do have a problem with keeping your mouth shut." Kai stood up from the table and walked away.

"Willow, you know not to bring that up." Felix lifted his hand up and flicked her forehead. "Sorry..." Willow sunk down and let out a sigh.

You looked around the cafeteria and scanned the numerous faces. The one that caught your attention was a guy standing in the corner of the room. He was leaning against the wall with his arms and legs crossed. He had a frown plastered onto his face. His hair was jet black and was styled in an undercut.

"Who is he?" You motioned over to the guy as Erwin walked over to him. "Oh, that's Captain Levi. The one below Erwin." Felix looked over at Levi.

So that's Levi.

Erwin looked over at you and gave you a small nod. You returned the nod, and when you did, Levi's gaze went over to you. You locked your eyes with Levi's and felt his cold stare. You slowly turned away and put your attention on your squad.

"So, what is today's training?" Felix pointed out the window towards the forest. "The titan cutouts."

You stood next to your squad and secured the Omni-Directional Gear. You had put this on a thousand times, but today was different. You finished fastening everything to you and looked up at the trees.

"Here's how it goes. Each squad will race through the obstacle. Titan's will pop up and your score is based on the time it takes for your squad to complete the course and the amount of titans you successfully take down. There is a baton that each of you will hold to pass to one another." The commander walked back and forth in front of the squads.

"We have people in the trees to watch your every movement, so don't do anything stupid." He stopped between the squads and raised his arm. He was holding a flare in his hand with his finger on the trigger. "When I shoot this flare, the training begins."

Your heart raced as you stood behind all the others. Felix was going first, then Willow, then Kai and then finally you. You craned your neck to watch as the commander pulled the trigger, sending a green flare up in the air.

You watched as Felix took up with one swift movement. He disappeared into the trees with the bright red baton in his pocket. You waited patiently as you heard the sound of branches and slicing in the distance.

It wasn't long until you spotted the tuft of blonde hair rush out of the trees. Felix reached the ground and Willow grabbed the baton out of his pocket.

Once again another squad member disappeared into the trees.

This time, it seemed a lot longer. Many of the other squads had already sent off their third person. Kai was clearly agitated with the timing of Willow.

It seemed like forever before you saw the bright red hair emerge from the woods. Willow landed down and even before she could reach the ground, Kai had the baton in his hands and was off into the trees.

"I'm so sorry guys!" Willow was panting and collapsed to the ground, gripping her leg. Your eyes widened when you saw the red liquid staining her pants. "Willow! Are you okay?" You crouched down to look at Willow's wound, but Willow waved you off. "Pay attention, I'm fine." She gave you a large smile and Felix quickly ran over.

You nodded your head and turned your attention back to the obstacle. The squad next to you had sent out their fourth person as Kai landed back down. "Don't screw this up!" Kai shouted at you as you grabbed the baton and flew into the woods.

Your heart pounded as you weaved your way through the branches. The one thing you were definitely good at was speed. You whipped through the trees as if there was nothing there.

You heard the creaking of wood and soon there was a large wooden cutout that popped up. You flew up into the trees and sent yourself spiraling down, slicing the titan's nape.

The rest of the obstacle was a breeze, and it flew by fast. You lost track of how many cut outs you had sliced open, but you knew it was enough to get your team a good lead.

You could see the light through the trees as you reached the end, as well as the small figures of your squad.

"Y/N!" You heard Willow shouting your name as you raced down to the ground. Once you hit the ground you looked around at the other squads. No one had their final person back.

"We won! I'm sure we did!" Willow limped over to you and wrapped her arms around your neck. She squeezed you tightly and danced around.

You looked over at Kai, who was standing with his arms crossed and a small smirk on his face. "You did good." Kai walked over and patted your back.

Once all the other squads had their members, the commander came back to the front. "Based on speed and kills, Kai's squad win's!" The commander pointed his finger at your squad. Willow jumped up and down, earning glares from all the other squads. Felix quickly grabbed her and kept her still, letting out a nervous laugh.

"Look who it is." Kai whispered in your ear, looking behind you. You turned around to see Erwin and Levi standing close by. Erwin gave you a smile and Levi stayed with his eyes glued on you.

"He's always watching you and so is Levi." Kai frowned and looked at Levi. Levi turned around and walked away once he noticed Kai. "Yeah, but I think Erwin just wants to make sure I'm living up to his name." You watched as Levi walked back inside with Erwin.

"Well, you proved yourself. Welcome to the squad." Kai held out his hand and you shook it gently. "Thank you. I promise I won't let you down."
