Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

The Meeting

Your eyes stayed focused on Eren as Hange talked to the council. The three books were spread out on the pedestal as the council listened to them. Historia was in the middle of the table. Her long blonde hair sat in a bun and her eyes looked sharp.

Eren seemed calm, and so did Mikasa and Armin. You felt Levi's hand creep into your lap as you looked on. "Eren was able to control the titans! On our mission he was able to command them, even though he is not from the royal family." Hange's voice echoed through the room.

Your eyes laid on Eren, who's eyes widened. You frowned when you saw his reaction to Hange's word. "What's wrong?" Levi whispered in your ear and gripped your thigh tighter. You remained silent and just shook your head.

You heard Historia clear her throat as Hange stood there silently. "Everyone should know about the truth of the titans. All of this is just the beginning of conflict with Marley." Murmurs spread across the room after Historia finished sharing her decision.

"I think this is the end of our meeting." Historia stood up and walked towards where Eren and the others sat. "If you all would meet me in the other room." Historia turned her head and looked over at you and Levi. "You too." You and Levi both nodded your head and stood up in unison.

You slowly made your way out of the benches and towards the large wood doors that led to a smaller room.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin followed you guys. As soon as you all entered the room, you all got down on one knee to welcome Historia into the room. "I wanted to honor the survivors of the battle of Shinganshina district. You all closed your eyes as Historia came around and touched her hand to everyone's forehead's.

She headed over to you and pressed her warm head to your forehead. She passed by, leaving a trail of flowery perfume.

Once the ceremony was over, the scouts met at the entrance to the large government building. "What does she mean by conflict with Marley?" The brown haired girl spoke up and turned to Eren for the answer.

"Think about it. The colossal titan, the armored titan, the female titan. They all came from Marley. They're planning something." Eren spoke quietly and everyone's heads were looking down at the gravel.

You took Levi's sleeve and tugged at it lightly. He looked over to you and nodded his head. "We'll be back at the headquarters." Levi walked away from the group, bringing you with him.

"Do you really think we're in trouble?" You and Levi walked towards the carriage that was waiting to take you guys back to the headquarters. "Don't ask stupid questions. We have Annie and Bertholdt is dead." Levi climbed into the carriage, pulling you in to sit beside him.

"What's the plan if they do come?" You closed the door to the carriage and sat back on the wooden seat. "We need to focus on rebuilding and securing the walls. We lost a lot of people. It'll be a while before we can do anything." Levi slipped his hand into yours and kept a tight hold on it.

"Levi, do you ever think about the future?" You looked over to him and he slowly turned his head. You saw his eyes glisten as he looked at you. "There's two futures I think about. Don't worry and don't be stupid, of course you're in it." Levi reached over and ruffled your hair. You let out a small chuckle and looked out of the carriage.

The carriage traveled through the small town. You passed dozens of homes and people roaming the streets. "Everything's going to change." You slumped down in the seat and leaned your head against Levi's shoulder. You slowly closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep. The last thing you remember was Levi's soft lips pressed against your forehead.
