Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Training and a Surprise

You sat there as you waited for Erwin to show up to the outpost. You could tell Levi was disturbed by something. He kept the same stoic expression, but you could always tell by his eyes if something was bothering him.

"Levi, what's wrong?" You turned to him and he shook his head. "Why do you think something's wrong." He kept his focus on Erwin's horse as it became clearer in the distance.

"Don't be like that. I can tell something is up. Just tell me." Levi let out a sigh and looked over at you with a sulky expression. "Erwin wanted to send you home instead of you joining the next mission."

Your eyes widened and you clenched your hands in a fist. "What do you mean?! Isn't the next mission getting Rod Reiss?! I've helped this far why can't I-" "Y/N. Calm down. I need you back at the base with your squad and help them prepare." Erwin trotted up to you guys.

"What do you mean by prepare?" You began to calm down once you saw Erwin. "Some things are going to be happening in the next couple of months so I need you to make sure your team is ready, since they'll be on the front lines." You nodded your head and looked over to Levi.

"I guess I'll see you when you get back." You leaned in and placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Oh, I see." Erwin smirked as he looked at Levi turn away from you.

"I should get going I guess. See you guys and good luck!" You waved to the others who were grouped up outside the outpost door. They all waved at you and you took off.

Once again you were on the same route, this time going home. You were upset you couldn't join the mission, but at the same time it's been a while since you've seen Nico and Rose. You tried to imagine their faces when you got back.

It seemed as though a storm started to move in as you continued riding towards the Scouts base. The air got chiller and the wind began to pick up.

The horse you were riding began to get freaked out once there were cracks of thunder. You reached out your hand and gently stroked it's soft mane. "It's ok, just a couple more minutes." You could begin to see the outline of the large building through the fog.

Once you pulled around to the stables, you quickly hopped off the horse and led it to an empty stall. You held in your breath as you felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You quickly turned around to see a lantern dangling in the fog. "Hello?" You called out and slowly moved towards the lantern.

"Nice to see you." You immediately recognized the voice and ran towards him. "You guys don't understand how happy I am to see you." You threw your arms around the two people standing in the entrance of the stables.

You put your hands on both of their heads and ruffled their hair. "I'm sure you guys know we'll be training hard." You smiled and pulled back from them. They both nodded and looked back at the building. "It's been a little hectic and tense around here. It's nice to have you back."

Nico turned around and began walking out the stall. You followed him and Rose and they walked towards the building. You couldn't stop smiling as you walked behind your squad. They had made it this far and you knew how strong they were.

Let's get to training.

"Rose! Try adjusting your body so you're more balanced!" you shouted up to her as you watched her race through the trees. Nico was right behind her, his black hair blowing back in the wind. Rose nodded her head and quickly made the adjustment. As soon as she did, her body stopped wobbling in the air.

Rose slashed through the titan that popped up in front of her. Her blades dug deep into the nape of the wooden titan. She shouted in excitement and turned back to look at you. You gave her a thumbs up and let out a light chuckle.
