Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

The Emerald Ring

"I'm just saying that if Eren does some reckless shit..." You looked at Hange and Levi as you all stood around Hange's desk. "Well, he said he'd communicate with us somehow if he plans to do anything." Hange let out a sigh and leaned her head on her arm.

"That kid is the one making the calls now?" You turned to Levi who had been silent for a while. "Listen, Y/N. I know you've been out for a while, but Eren is the one with the Attack titan, he can handle things and won't get himself killed. All we can do is train the others and get new gear." Levi leaned on Hange's desk and twiddled with his fingers.

"New technology? What exactly are you planning Hange?" Hange looked up at you with her wicked smile and began rummaging through the tens of stacks of papers on her desk. "I thought you'd never ask!" Hange pulled out a ton of papers and placed them in your hands.

You went through them, looking at her messy drawings of the thunder spears, this time with three instead of one. New ODM gear was also drawn on a page, but you were struggling to read the writing. You got to the last few pages to see Hange's drawings that looked like the weapons Kenny and his crew had.

You turned the page around and showed it to Hange. "Did you figure out how to make these?" Hange nodded her head and looked at you with a large grin.

"while you were out, we encountered a Marley ship in the sea and well... we got some soldiers that were against the government that were willing to share some secrets." Hange winked and laughed maniacally. "They just shared information with you?" You raised your eyebrows and looked at Levi, who nodded his head.

"there was a girl named Yelena and she's against Marley, even though she's a soldier for them, so she agreed to help us." Hange did a little dance in her chair, making you let out a small laugh.

"Well I'm glad we made some progress while we were gone. Are people working on these right now?" You placed the papers back down on Hange's desk. "including me and some other recruits, we are working hard right now to get them finished, since we have no idea what Marley has planned." Hange stood up from the table to stand beside you and Levi.

"They have their hands pretty full right now with the other countries, so this is our time to train." Levi began walking away from you and Hange.

"And Y/N. Check up on Rose." Levi exited Hange's office and you quickly dashed towards the door.

You found yourself running down the hallway towards Rose and Nico's room. You knocked on the closed door quietly and you heard a faint "come in" from inside. You placed your hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

You saw Rose sitting upright in her bed with her knees to her chest. Nico was right beside her, his hands on her shoulders. "Y/N." Rose looked at you as you entered the room and closed the door behind you. "How are you holding up?" You walked towards the bed and kneeled down, placing your hand on Rose's hand.

"I'm fine... I just can't focus right now." Rose lowered her head as she spoke. "Listen... it's going to take sometime to get back to normal, I know. But I need you guys to be sharp and ready. Levi told me we'll be going out on patrols with him, so I need my squad." You patted Rose's head and she nodded. "Y/N... I don't know if Levi told you but the wedding is tomorrow."

Your mouth dropped open and your throat became as dry as a desert. "Huh?! Tomorrow!" Nico laughed when he saw you become frazzled. "Don't worry they have it all planned, all you need to do is show up." Rose nodded her head and pointed to the sack sitting on her dresser.

"You'll be wearing that tomorrow, don't forget." You walked over and picked up the sack. You opened it and peered into the bag to see a bundle of clothes. "Thank you guys so much!" You raced out of the room, skipping down the hall in joy. You swung the bag back and forth in your hands as you hopped around.

I'm getting married tomorrow.

You buttoned up your pants and stepped back to view yourself in the mirror. You smiled brightly when you saw yourself wearing the outfit Rose had picked out. You were in black tight slacks and a white tunic with strings that tied in the front. You grabbed the black vest that sat in the bed and put your arms through it.

You looked over to your dresser and grabbed your locket necklace and Erwin's bolo tie. You me hands shook as you secured the bolo tie around your neck. "I wish you were here." You rubbed the emerald stone and let out a sigh.

While you were in the middle of your thoughts, there was a loud knock at the door and a lot of chattering. You headed to the door and pulled it open, but you couldn't even open it all the way before you were grabbed and pulled into the hallway. "Come on! He's waiting!" Hange jumped up and down as she gripped onto your arm. Mikasa and Rose were standing next to her.

Hange pulled your along down the hallway and the two others followed close behind. Hange threw open the cafeteria door and pulled your out into the grass. "Where are we going?" You looked behind you at Rose, who for the first time in a while, had a smile on her face. "Don't worry just stop talking." Hange dragged you towards the wooded training areas.

Hange continued dragging you through the trees, and it wasn't until the trees started to thin out, you could see the beautiful sight. In the distance you could see the patchy green grass covered with various colored flowers.

Hange let go of your arm and allowed you to walk forward by yourself. Hange, Rose and Mikasa ran in front of you to get to the clearing before you.

You sped up your past and emerged from the woods, stepping onto the flowers on the ground. You felt your heart begin to pound faster as you looked up from your feet to see Levi standing in the middle of the clearing. Jean, Armin and Nico were standing next to the girls on the side of the clearing, all dressed up nice and holding bouquets of flowers.

Your eyes glistened as you looked Levi up and down. He was in an all black suit and a small white flower was tucked in his jacket pocket. He turned his head to look at you. First his eyes were blank, like usual, but then slowly his eyes lit up and a smile stretched across his face.

You felt a tingly sensation in your stomach as you moved towards him. "That's the largest smile I've seen on you." You chuckled as you stopped in front of him. "Shut up. It's cause I'm around you." Levi grabbed your hands and held them in front of him.

"Y/N. I love you and I promise I'll always protect you." Levi let go of your right hand and dug into his pocket. He pulled out a small, beat up box and opened it. His hands were shaking, which was unusual for the stoic captain. Levi took out a small silver ring that have a delicate emerald stone on the top.

"To match the tie." Levi looked at Erwin's bolo tie and slowly slipped the ring onto your ring finger. "Y/N. I want to spend my life with you, no matter how short it is. I never thought I'd fall in love with a stupid recruit, but here I am." Levi lifted up your hand and gave it a small kiss.

He pulled you close to him and his lips met yours. You moved your lips with his as he moved his hands to the back of your head, deepening the kiss. It was slow and passionate, but the cheering and yelling in the back contrasted it.

You and Levi pulled away and turned to look at the others. Jean, Hange and Nico were hopping around, screaming at the top of their lungs, while Mikasa, Armin and Rose were politely clapping.

"ok the wedding is over, get your asses back to training." Levi shooed them off and they quickly all scurried away. Levi pulled you by your waist and turned his head to whisper in your ear. "Don't think that just because we are married now that you get to slack off." You let out a chuckle. "Don't worry. I know that." Levi let go of you and you made your way towards back towards the woods.

"Don't forget patrols start tomorrow too!" Levi shouted at you as you walked away. You looked down at the ring that now sat on your finger. You couldn't help but smile as you stared at it. It sat perfectly on your finger, almost as if it was made for you. "So far I've kept my promise Levi."
