Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

First Encounter

"What do you think is going on?" Willow bounced around the room as all 4 of you tried to get dressed and secure your gear. "Will you stop bouncing around?" Kai rolled his eyes as he opened the door to the room and rushed out. You quickly finished and closely followed him with Felix and Willow on your tail. It seemed like the entire building was running in a crowd towards the exit.

You and your squad followed the crowd outside to where Erwin, Levi and the other commanders were sitting on their horses. There was clearly something going on, but you couldn't read Erwin's face.

"Ready up in your squads! The outer gates of Trost have been breached by titans!" Erwin's voice silenced everyone. "For many of you this will be your first time going against real titans, don't die!" Erwin pointed towards the direction of the Trost district. "Just like how we ran drills. Go!"

As soon as Erwin shouted his final word, all the squads were up in the sky. You, Kai, Felix and Willow all stayed close to each other as you zoomed through the sky.

"We are on front lines right?!" Felix shouted to Kai with fear in his voice. Kai nodded his head and dropped down onto a house below.

"Listen, we stick together okay? Just make smart decisions." Kai looked between all of you with a stern face. You could feel a lump burning in your throat as you looked beyond Kai.

The district was in ruins, for miles all you could see were torn down houses, a scene that seemed all too familiar. Kai gave you all one last look before signaling to move forward.

You didn't even have to think when you saw one of the mindless titans. All you thought about was striking its' nape. The closest person to every titan was the one to kill it, and of course it always seemed to be you. "10!" You shouted over your shoulder to Felix as he groaned with dissatisfaction.

"I'm only at 5!" He called out to you as you landed on a nearby house. "I guess I just get lucky." You shrug your shoulders with a smile and look to Kai.

"Where the hell is Willow?" Kai looked at you, and then Felix. Your smile immediately dropped as you turned around. "Oh my god. Willow!" You called out for her, but there was no reply. You spun your head all around to try and look for the staple red hair.

"Look!" Felix pointed over in front of you to a cloud of purple smoke. You felt your heart drop at the sight of the color. You all immediately rushed towards the cloud of smoke. "Y/N! Stop!" Kai called out to you as you raced forward. You released your hooks and came crashing down onto a roof.

"What?! We have to go and save-" You shouted at him, but stopped when your eyes laid on what was in front of you. Dozens of Titans were stomping around, and right in the middle of them was Willow. She was backed up in a corner.

You released the blades from your weapon and replaced them. You lounged to go after the titans, but a hand grabbed your shoulder.

"Don't do that alone. It's up to your squad. It's too late." You turned to see the owner of the cold voice.

Levi.

"What the hell, I can't just let her die!" You shouted without thinking about who he was. You pushed his hand off of your shoulder and lounged into the crowd of titans.

It was hard for you to keep track of every single titan, but you put more focus on the large ones. You cut your way through the crowd like it was just a training exercise. You felt sick to your stomach as you continued to hear the screams from Willow.

You launched yourself up in the sky, then came spiraling down to slash the nape of the titan grabbing for Willow. The scarlet blood splattered everywhere, covering you from head to toe.

The titan came crashing down, causing the entire ground to shake around it.

You landed down on the hard concrete and ran towards Willow. She immediately jumped up and ran into your arms. As you hugged Willow tightly, you looked up at the rooftop to see Levi staring down at you. He slowly turned away and sped off in the opposite direction.

"Thank God!" Willow kept her usual large smile on her face as she let go of you. "Come on we have to go." You once again sped up into the air and towards your squad.

"I can't believe you got 27 kills in your first mission!" Willow skipped around you in circles and you, Kai and Felix walked towards the cafeteria. "I guess Erwin was right about you being good." Felix placed his hand on your shoulder and gave you a soft smile.

Kai remained quiet, but you could see in his eyes that he was pleased. You all continued to walk down the hallway, it was dead silent except for you guys and one other person walking in your direction.

"Y/N L/N?" The person walking down the hall called out your name. "Yes?" You frowned, since you didn't recognize the person. "Commander Erwin would like to see you in his office." The person bowed their head, turned around and disappeared.

Shit

"Why are you getting called to his office?" Kai looked at you with a puzzled look. "I don't know but I don't think it's good." You walked down the hall towards Erwin's door. Your stomach tossed and turned as you got closer to the silver nameplate.

You brought your hand up and gently knocked on the door. "Come in!" You heard Erwin's voice from the other side of the door. You slowly reached for the doorknob and opened the door.

You stepped into the cozy room. Erwin was sitting at his desk that was facing the door. You looked at the chair in front of him to see a figure occupying it.

"What did you need?" You kept your voice quiet as you closed the door behind you.

"I'm sure you know Captain Levi." Erwin pointed to the man sitting in the chair. You nodded your head and moved closer to the desk.

"He told me about your reckless actions earlier today." Erwin kept his voice calm, but you could feel your blood boil. "What do you mean by reckless?" You shot a glare at Levi, who kept his eyes fixed on Erwin. Levi was wearing black slacks with a black jacket and a white collared shirt. He had his normal white cravat.

"I would say rushing into a crowd of titans by yourself is reckless." Erwin gave you a smirk and looked to Levi. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't just let my friend die." You threw your arms up and raised your voice slightly.

"I know, but you shouldn't have rushed i there. This is just a warning. You are dismissed." Erwin pointed to the door and you swiftly turned around. You heard Levi get up from the chair and begin to walk behind you.

You swung open the door and stormed out of the room. Once you heard the door close, you whipped around to come face-to-face with Levi.

"Erwin speaks so well of you, but I didn't know that you would be an asshole." You rolled your eyes and stormed off towards the cafeteria. You didn't look back because you knew his expression was going to be the same straight face that he always has. You heard one sentence as you walked away from Levi. "Focus on yourself."

Levi Ackerman, I don't know what game you're playing at but I won't stand for it.
