Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Levi's Squad

You felt numb as you sat with your head in your hands at the table. The cafeteria was noisy as usual, but you tried your best to drown out all the voices. Kai sat beside you with his back hunched over, slowly eating his food. Felix was across the table with his hands between his legs, his eyes still red and swollen.

"Too bad the one that gets the most praise couldn't save their own comrade." The words coming from behind you sent the feeling of burning throughout your entire body.

You quickly whipped around on the bench and stood up to face the people sitting behind you. "Do you want to repeat the shit that I just heard come out of your mouth?!" You shouted at the top of your lungs, earning stares from everyone in the room.

The room became silent as you stood looking at the dark haired boy sitting with a wide grin. "You heard me. You made the choice to leave Willow there, and now she's dead."

You clenched your hands in a fist and lunged towards the boy.

You grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed his head down on the table. He winced in pain, but kept the same grin as before. "Shut up! Shut up!" You screamed at him as you felt Kai's hands try to pull you back.

You pulled back your arm and swung at him, sending your fist straight into his mouth. The boy spit, sending blood onto your face. Your first was covered with the red substance.

You felt a pair of hands grip your shoulders and rip you off of the boy. You looked to your right to see Levi standing with a frown on his face. "Quit making a scene." He rolled his eyes and pushed you towards the hallway.

"Please just let me give him a good beating." You stood in the hallway with your back against the wall.

"Don't act like a child. You're going to get nowhere if you let your emotions get the best of you. Now go sit back down with your squad and keep your mouth shut." Levi swiftly walked away from you and towards his office.

You let out a heavy sigh and headed back to the cafeteria. The boy was already gone, and so were all the people sitting with him. Everyone's gaze followed you to your seat.

"Way to go." Kai looked at you with an exhausted look on his face. "I couldn't just sit there." You crashed down onto the seat and put down your head on the hard, wooden table. "Levi seems to care about you." Felix's soft voice came out for the first time since Willow's death.

"What the hell do you mean? The only encounters I've had with him is when he scolds me." You looked off at the direction of Levi's office. "If anyone else would've gotten in a fight, he would have just let them fight cause he doesn't care about others. He stopped you."

"I don't think that means he cares about me." You shook your head and Felix gave you a small smile. "Y/N, it's not your fault for Willow's death, so please don't feel that way." Felix stood up from the table and exited the cafeteria.

"You should get some rest since we have today off, don't be too hard on yourself." Kai patted your head and followed Felix. You sat there sitting at the table and staring out the window at the training area.

Does he really care?

"I feel like I'm called into your office everyday." You rolled your eyes as you sat down in front of Erwin's desk.

Erwin pointed to the door and the door closed. You turned around to see Levi now inside the office as well. "Oh great, did Levi say something about me again."

Erwin snickered and shook his head. "Besides your little tantrum in the cafeteria, no." You let out a sigh and turned to Levi. "Quit thinking I hate you." Levi scoffed and stood beside Erwin.

"You're here because we trust you." Your eyes widened and you lifted yourself up from the chair. "If I have to lead again, count me out."

"Y/N, sit down. It's a mission that doesn't have to do with titans." Erwin looked at you sternly and you sat back down.

"What do you mean? That is what the Survey Corps does." You felt puzzled for a moment and looked to Levi.

"It does have to do with a titan. I'm sure you've heard about the brat in the corps that is a titan shifter."

Eren Jaeger.

You nodded your head and began to put all the pieces together. "So, are we going after another titan shifter?" Levi and Erwin both nodded their heads.

"Her name is Annie Leonhart. I will have you and your squad in the Stohess district to assist in her capture." Erwin gave you a small smile and looked to Levi.

"Except for this mission you will be under Levi's order."

Your mouth fell open as you looked at Levi. "He lost his squad and we are looking for new members for him, so we are testing this out."

Levi nodded his head and began walking away from the desk. "I trust you'll make good decisions this time."

Levi exited the room, leaving you and Erwin. "I swear if I end up smashing his face in, it's not my fault." You stood up from the chair and left the office.

Once you got out of the office, you closed the door and pressed your back to it. You looked to your right to see Levi standing next to you.

"Don't do anything stupid this time. And listen to me."
