Promise Me (Levi x Reader)

Floch and Shadis

"Y/N, you're coming with me." Hange looked up at you as she crouched next to the boy on the floor. "What are we going to do?" You couldn't help but feel bad for the poor boy as he laid on the floor, unconscious. "We need to transport him back to headquarters." Hange put her arms under the boy's body and slowly picked him up.

You lead the way out of the room, but was stopped by a recruit standing in the doorway. He held a long rifle in his hand. You immediately recognized him as being a younger scout, with his orangish hair. It had to be Floch, one of the Jaegerists. You froze as you looked up at him and then slowly back at Hange.

Hange's eyes told it all. Their eyes were wide and filled with worry. "Floch." You spoke quietly as your eyes stayed focused on his gun. You looked over his shoulder to see a couple more Jaegerists standing behind him. "Eren. Is he here?" You looked up to Floch but he remained silent. He moved further into the room, pushing you back.

"You're coming with us." Floch grabbed onto your arm, squeezing it tightly as the other Jaegerists grabbed onto Hange and the boy. "Stop! Floch, come on!" Floch dragged you out of the room and into the hallway. You looked down at the room where Mikasa and Armin had gone to, to hear several shouts.

"Let us go!" You tried to fight Floch back, but his grip was too strong and he was much taller. You looked back at Hange with horrified eyes. They looked at you with the same eyes back. Who knew what they had in store.

You sat up against the inside of the moving cart, next to Hange. You kept your eyes on the boy laying down on the floor of the cart. "What's his name?" He had short blonde hair and he looked not a day over 13. "Falco." Hange sounded exhausted as they forced the words out of their mouth.

The boy's eyes slowly fluttered open, but he remained still. You all sat there silently, looking at each other, not knowing what to say. You heard Falco make a grunting noise, but his body didn't move. "What is it?" Hange moved in closer to Falco. "I-I felt like I got shocked with electricity." Falco frowned as his eyes looked up at you and Hange.

Hange slowly turned to you, their eyes wide. "You don't think..." That's when it clicked in our head. The wine. The spinal fluid. The people who drank the wine have transformed. "Oh fuck. Levi." Your eyes shook as you looked back down at Falco. "Y/N. He's fine, don't worry." Hange rested her hand on your shoulder.

You felt sick as the idea swam through your head. Levi, transforming into a mindless titan. "No, he wouldn't drink wine. He loves tea, it'll be fine." You smiled to try and reassure yourself. The door to the cart quickly opened and an arm reached in to grab you.

You didn't try and resist as the Jaegerist pulled you out of the cart and dragged you across the ground. The sun was beaming down on you as your feet dragged across the cement. You looked up at the large building that towered over you, the headquarters.

Your attention was drawn to the crowd that was now gathered outside the front of the building. They were all cadets. They stood out front with Pixis before them. You and Hange dragged your feet along, following Floch towards Pixis and the crowd. Floch held up his gun and all the other Jaegerists followed suit. "From now on. you take orders from us."

Floch's gun was pointed straight at Pixis' head, but Pixis didn't waver. "Looks like you figured it out, Floch. Unless you point guns at people, nobody cares what your little gang of asswipes says and that's a fact." Pixis remained calm as the cadets began to whisper amongst themselves.

There was a loud gunshot that echoed through the courtyard. Both you and Hange jumped at the noise. You looked over to see the damage that was done. A small hole near Pixis' foot was the aftermath of the gunshot. "I missed. I thought shooting his foot might speed things up."

You and Hange looked over at Floch as he lowered his gun. "Speed what up?" Pixis remained standing in his spot as he stared down Floch. "No, it has nothing to do with you. We have little need for hard-headed geezers like you." Floch walked past Pixis and stood in front of the cadets.

"From now on, this is you time, cadets! We Jaegerists have sworn to give our hearts to save Elda from this crisis! Not for the sake of obsolete military, but for the people of this island. By obeying the military's archaic mindset, you're allowing us to be trampled by enemies from the outside!" Floch's voice echoed as he shouted at the cadets.

"Are you someone who wants to stand beside our leader, Eren Jaeger? Or someone who will die alongside Keith Shadis and his antiquated ways?" Your mouth fell open in shock as you looked over at Hange. Several cadets began walking forward, towards Floch. The pressed their fists to their hearts and looked at Floch with confidence. "For the sake of Eldia's future, we give our hearts!"

You stared in disbelief at the cadets who gave themselves to Floch. "Good, now show me your resolve. Beat Commandant Shadis till he can't stand anymore!" The cadets eyes widened as Floch spoke. "He represents the old ways that must be driven out, do it now! Those who can't go to prison!" Floch continued to shout at the cadets as you and Hange watched helplessly.

"Floch, this is ridiculous! You can't do that!" You shouted at him and he turned towards you. Pixis looked at you and Hange as well. "Y/N, no matter how many of these tots there are, they're no match for me!" You looked at the cadets to see their fists begin to ball.

Before you knew it, they all came running towards Shadis, their fists flying towards his head and other areas of his body. You stared in horror as you watched the cadets beat on Shadis until his body laid on the cement. "Hange..." You looked over at them to see their eyes, staring at Shadis' body. "This is just mad."
