TOGETHER AGAIN [levi ackerman x reader]

All a Coincidence

I quickly tied my hair in a high ponytail and went to meet the rest for breakfast. I ran through the halls and past other cadets and finally made it to the mess hall. "Hey guys!" I greeted them.

"Hey y/n!" Mikasa, Eren, Sasha, and Connie said in unison. 

"What's the schedule for today?" I ask, while taking a bite of the bread.

"We have hand-to-hand combat," Eren replies. Upon hearing his answer, I grinned as everyone around me groans. Not that I was super happy about that but at least it was better than going against titans.

After breakfast, we headed to the field to get paired up with someone to combat. I was paired up with Connie.

"Okay y/n, let's start, shall we?" Connie said while getting into his fighting pose.

"We shall," I answer while smirking, molding my hands into tight fists while getting into position. Connie swung at me and I ducked right under his arm to avoid getting hit. I smirked at him, indicating that he missed to tease him. Now it was my turn to swing at him. I lunged forward with my right fist and just as he was about to raise his right hand to block himself from getting punched, I took his distraction to my advantage and kicked him on the side of his stomach causing him to fall on the ground. He got up quick and lunged toward me, attempting to perform a roundabout kick when I moved to the side to avoid being hit, causing his leg to have no where to land and lose his balance. Instinctively, I quickly turn around and grab his arm waving in the air, successfully spinning his whole body around so that he is now facing me and pull him towards me, attempting to save him from bumping into the huge tree in front of him. But I realized I pulled a little too hard because suddenly, Connie came flying towards me. My eyes widen and because I didn't have enough time to react, he fell right on top of me, trapping me to the dirty ground full of grass.

Great.

"Shit... I'm sorry... y/n," Connie said in between groans as he lifted his head from my shoulder. I shook my head and lift my body off the floor with his help. "It's fine Connie, I was the one who pulled you."

"Did you hit your head?" Connie asked in a concern tone.

"Yeah, just a little. But I'm fine," I reassured him, while rubbing the back of my head.

"Shit, lemme take a look," Connie insisted, while walking around me to see the back of my head. I felt his fingers press on my head and I yelp a little.

Not even 2 minutes later~

"What are you guys doing?"

Connie and I look over to see Captain Levi standing there with arms crossed staring right at us. I followed his stare and saw that he was looking at our arms, as Connie was still holding my arms for support. I quickly let go. "Oh uh... Connie was just helping me up because I fell," I quickly answered. Connie nodded aggressively.

"Get back to training, brats," Levi demanded, his tone indicating that he was slightly annoyed. We nodded and continued.

After another hour of combats, we were all tired. I headed to my room to clean myself from all the sweat and hear a knock outside my room. "You can come in, Mikasa," I called out. The door opened but it wasn't Mikasa. 

Captain Levi??  What was he doing here? In my room?

"Come with me, cadet l/n," he said, then proceeded to turn around and walk out. I quickly followed him out. Soon we reached the field again. "Uhhh Captain? What are we doing here again?" I asked, clearly confused.

"You and I are going to fight," he said in his very monotone voice. 

HUH??

"And why is that?" I question him. He did not answer me immediately, but instead lunged at me. I quickly blocked all his sudden attacks and even kicked his chest lightly.

There is no way I'm letting him randomly attack me like that.

He performed a roundabout kick at me, and I dodged successfully kick him in his lower back again, causing us to switch positions from how we were standing face to face from each other.

What the hell is going on? 

He stopped and looked at me. "So, you can fight, brat," he said, emphasizing the word "can".

Was he just testing my skills? 

Of course...there was no way I can kick him twice.

"Yes, sir," I reply sternly. 

"Why were you holding back on that brat earlier?"

"Uhhh.." I panic to say something. "What are you talking about Captain? I wasn't holding back," I replied nervously. He seemed to sense my nervousness and walked towards me. He then proceeded to take out an ice pack from behind him. "Captain, what's this for?" I questioned.

"Your head," he replied coldly.

He got this just for me??

He walked towards me and pressed the ice pack on the back of my head. My head immediately felt better. "Thank you Captain...again. Thank you for always helping me."

"Tch, if you want to thank me, answer this question."

"Yes sir."

"Where did you get the scar on your forehead from?"

"Umm... I got it from an accident. Basically, I hit my head against a rock pretty hard, which left me with a scar and memory loss."

Levi walked around me so that now, he was facing me. "Memory loss? You don't remember anything that happened in the past before you joined the survey corps?" 

I shook my head. "Everything I know right now regarding my past is what my mother and Jean told me," I reply shrugging my shoulders.

"I see."

LEVI POV*

I handed her the ice pack and told her that she could go back in. As I make my way back to my office, a million thoughts rang in my head. My only answer to these questions in my head was...Was this all a coincidence?
