While We're Alive (Eren x reader)

17- Family Reunion

"Do you have any idea how much farther till we're there?" Eren whispered to Y/n. Levi Squad was going to be staying at the Former Survey Corps Headquarters while they had Eren. At the moment, the squad had been riding their horses to the old Headquarters for hours and both Y/n and Eren were getting impatient. "Why the hell would you think that I know." Y/n whispered back.

"Maybe because you grew up with the Scouts?" Eren clapped back. "Well I only lived with them for two years, and during that time, we stayed in a cabin." Y/n replied. "Besides why are you in such a rush to get there? The place is probably a dump anyways." She added.

"Well riding on a horse for hours isn't exactly comfortable, plus the sooner we get there the more time I get to spend with you." Eren said. Y/n could feel her face heating up. "Well the sooner we get there, the sooner I get to take a nap." She said, focusing her attention back onto the road. "A nap? That's what you're worried about?" Eren laughed.

"I have my priorities what can I say. I've never been a good sleeper so naps help me power through." Y/n replied. "Seriously? You've never had a good night's sleep?" Eren asked. "Not really. Back in Shiganshina, I wasn't exactly besties with the merchants so they'd often be looking for me. I never really let my guard down even when I was sleeping, and by the time Levi found me it was sort of in my nature not to sleep too long." Y/n said.

Behind them, Levi was glaring at Eren. "I know it's none of my business Captain but it seems like your protective dad mode is active." Petra said jokingly. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't have a "protective dad mode"." Levi said. "Oh yeah? Then why are you glaring at Eren like that." Petra said with a smirk on her face.

"It's my responsibility to keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't go Titan on us, and if he does, be prepared to handle it. I can't afford to let my guard down with him." Levi responded. "Whatever you say Captain." Petra replied.

Up ahead, Y/n could see castle. "The old Survey Corps HQ. Originally, it was an old castle we remodeled. So it certainly looks imposing. But being so far from the rivers and walls, it ended up being useless for the Survey Corps. It was established right after the Survey Corps's formation, when ideals were all they had. But I never imagined that this giant ornament would end up being the perfect place to hide you." Oulo told Eren.

Eren turned his head around and that Captain Levi was still glaring at him, so he quickly faced forward. "Don't get cocky, new kid." Oulo said. "Sir?" Eren replied back. "I don't care if you're a Titan. I can't believe Captain Levi will spend all his time with a brat like you..." Oulo said before biting his tongue which startled Eren but made Y/n laugh.

As the Squad arrived at the castle, Eren and Y/n put away their horses in the stable while Oulo and Petra talked. "It's no wonder you but your tongue, talking up a storm while riding a horse!" Petra said. "First impressions are important. The new kid almost pissed his pants." Oulo said. "I think he was just surprised by how dumb you are." Petra said.

"Either way, my plan worked." Oulo said. "You didn't always talk like that, did you? If you're seriously doing it to imitate Captain Levi please stop. You aren't like him in the slightest." She said. Oulo let out a laugh. "Trying to bind my hands, Petra? You haven't followed all the necessary steps to become my wife." Oulo said with a smirk. "I wish you'd bitten through your tongue and died. Going on and on about how many Titans you've killed." Petra said. "Don't worry. I bragged about the of you, too." Oulo said.

Eren look over at them after he tied up his horse. Those are the members of the Survey Corps Special Operations Squad. Also known as Squad Levi. Petra Rall. Titan kills, 10. Assists, 48. Oulo Bozard. Kills, 39. Assists, 9. By any definition they're the best. Eld Jinn. Kills, 14. Assists, 32. Gunther Schultz. Kills, 7. Assists, 40. They're the best of the Survey Corps. Specially selected by Captain Levi. And, if I lose control, they'll be the ones who kill me.
