Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Corruption

You knelt down on the roof as you kept your eyes glued to Erwin. The military police were rough with him, pushing and pulling him everywhere. You knew you had to keep your cool, but it irritated you so much.

You held your hands in a fist as you watched them pull Erwin into a building. "Head over there." Levi pointed to the top of the building, where there was a small window.

You quickly looked around to make sure the coast was clear and then you shot your hooks into the roof. You flew to the roof and lightly landed. Levi followed close behind you.

You crawled to the small and window and peered inside. You had a good view of Erwin from the window. Levi moved over beside you and looked through the window. You tried to not lean too much to make sure they wouldn't spot you easily.

You watched as they tied Erwin up in a large wooden chair. There was about 10 men that were around him. You knew how it was going to go, since you were on the other side the past two times.

One of the men walked up to Erwin. His mouth was moving and Erwin responded, but as soon as he did, the man punched him straight in the face.

You gasped as you watched scarlet red blood flow down Erwin's face from his nose. The man continued to land punches on Erwin.

With each punch, you felt your anger build up. You felt helpless as you watched him get pounded on. Of course Erwin was strong, but seeing the men do this to them boiled your blood.

It seemed like forever that you watched them continue to brutally torture him. You began to tear up as you continued to watch. Levi looked up at you and slid his hand on your back.

"Don't watch anymore." You nodded your head and turned away from Erwin. You tried to calm yourself down by breathing in and out slowly.

Levi continued to watch, his face remaining unchanged as he was Erwin be beaten. "What do you think is going to happen to him?" You pulled your knees to your chest and looked over the town.

"Probably the worst they can do. The government is obviously corrupt." Levi rolled his eyes and slowly sat up from the window. "They're on their way out." You perked up and crawled towards the edge of the roof.

You peaked over to see a man running towards the building. He had a rolled up piece of paper in his hand that he was gripping onto hard.

The other men that were inside the building came to meet the man out front. You leaned in closer to be able to hear their conversation.

"This came from the higher ups." The man handed over the piece of paper. The man in front, who seemed older took the paper and quickly unrolled it. A smile curled on his face as he turned around to the rest of the group.

"Commander Erwin is being sentenced to death."

As those words came out of his mouth, you quickly jumped up, about to blow your top off.

Levi's hand quickly gripped your mouth, and his strong arms pulled you back onto the roof. "Keep your mouths hut. You'll only make things worse." You frowned as you pried his hand from your mouth.

"How the hell can they sentence him to death?! He clearly didn't kill Reeves." You ran your hands through your hair and collapsed onto the roof. "Like I said. Corrupt. Now get your ass up."

Levi held out his hand and you grabbed it from him to lift you onto your feet. "Now what do we do?" You looked at the group of men surrounding the building.

"The next step in Erwin's plan."

You stood next to Levi as you watched the men bring Erwin up to the platform. There was a crowd of people watching, some smiling and some with frowns on their faces.
