Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Levi's Confession

You sat with your head in your hands, trying to calm yourself down. "You can sit there all day, it's not going to get any better." Levi's voice echoed through the empty cafeteria.

"You scared me." You let out a sigh after you slightly jumped from the sound of his voice. "It's taking a toll on all of us." Levi sat down next to you on the cafeteria table and ran his hands over your thigh.

"Erwin mentioned something about overthrowing the government. It just seems all too much and to keep everything a secret from Rose and Nico, just-"

"You'll be able to tell them soon, just wait a little bit. We don't know who to trust." You nodded your head and slowly picked yourself up. "If anything happens to Erwin, he's the last family member I have." Your eyes began to tera up at the thought of losing him.

"Y/N, look at me." Levi aggressively grabbed your cheeks and pulled you towards him. You looked at him in his eyes and you could see despair.

"Erwin is the last person I want to lose. I promise I won't let that happen." Levi slowly pulled your face closer to his. His lips touched yours.

You immediately felt comforted as you moved your lips with his. He moved his hands so that they were sitting on your hips and he gave you a small squeeze.

The kiss didn't last long, and it kept you wanting more. Levi pulled away and brushed your hair from your face.

"Y/N, I love you. Now get back to leading your squad before I get you demoted." Levi shot up from the table and began to walk towards the hallway.

"Did you just say you love me?!" You called after him with a large smile on your face.

"Didn't I say get back to your squad! Don't fucking test me L/N." Levi rolled his eyes and gave you a small smirk before disappearing once again.

"I love you too." You whispered to yourself and then went back to being alone once again.

You got up from the table and looked at the window. You could see Rose and Nico helping each other restock their swords and fix their gear. You smiled as you watched them.

The happiness didn't last long before you thought of your old squad. Willow, Felix and Kai. A tear trailed down your face as you pictured their faces.

What if Kai had lived? Would he be the one I was in love with? Would that be Willow ad Felix out there with their gear?

The details of their deaths ran through your head. Every single gruesome detail. You tried to push those thoughts out of your head as you walked towards the door to join them.

You had to focus on these two now, the past is the past.

"What the hell!" You threw your arms up in the air as you walked around the large table. Erwin sat there with his eyes fixed on the papers in front of him. "What do you mean you're getting charged for the death of Reeves. What type of bullshit is this?" Levi leaned against the wall with his feet crossed.

"They framed me. I don't know who but-" "Kenny." You looked over to Levi, but he didn't make eye contact with you. "The ones who ambushed our troops the other day? So they must be working with the government to cover up their tracks." Erwin shook his head and slowly stood up.

"This is complete bullshit. Didn't you talk to Commander Pyxis?" You became worried as Erwin walked towards the door. "Yes, I am trusting you two with this information. We are planning a coup d'état. You can't tell anyone because we don't know who to trust."

Your eyes widened and then you looked over at Levi. "Who else knows?" You walked behind Erwin and Levi soon joined you. "Only Hange and some people under Pyxis that he trusts." Erwin swung open the door, where Hange was standing.

"The wagon is ready... Good luck." Hange stepped aside and pointed down the hallway. Erwin turned around to look at you and Levi. "I know this isn't an actual mission, but because I trust you two the most, please follow me down to the interior walls." Levi nodded his head and looked over at you for your response.

"But what about my squad and Levi don't you have a squad?" Erwin brought up his hand and placed it on your shoulder. "Don't worry, Hange will take care of them." Hange waved her hands and gave you a bright smile. "Don't worry Y/N. They'll be in good hands." Levi scoffed and rolled his eyes as he began to walk away.

"They'll be traumatized from all her experiments when we get back." You giggled and followed Erwin and Levi down the hall. Once you guys got outside, there was a wagon waiting with a horse pulling it and two military police members in the back.

They stood up as soon as they saw Erwin, and they quickly jumped off the wagon with ropes in their hands. They began to roughly tie the rope around his hands and began pulling him into the wagon. You felt tears well up in your eyes as you watched your father figure being pulled away.

As soon as Erwin was in the wagon, they pulled off towards the center of the walls. You felt Levi's hand slip around your waist and pull you close to him. "You ready? Make sure they don't see you." You nodded your head, "Trust me, I won't mess this up."

You sped back down the hallway towards the equipment room. Levi was quick to grab his gear and suit up. You restocked your extra blades and secured the gear around your waist.

"Ready." You looked over to him and he gave you a small, reassuring smile. "Good, let's go. Remember to stay up high on the roofs." Levi took your hand and raced down the hallway. You squeezed his hand tightly as you guys emerged back out into the open.

Your first mission alone with Levi, maybe he'll show a different side of himself.
