Porcelain : Levi x Reader (Royal AU)

T w e n t y E i g h t : Shattered

You open your mouth as if you want to say something, almost as if to defend yourself but when you think about the way Levi has been treating you for the past two weeks you close it. He's the one who's constantly pushed you away, he's the one that said HE didn't need YOU, he's the one that made you promise to stop loving him, to love Eren, to kiss him, and sleep with him.

Levi's eyes and tone don't give anything away so perhaps he didn't hear much last night, and you had nothing to worry about, and for both of your sakes, you hope for that to be the case. It's not that you wanted to hurt Levi, although he had hurt you, you never wanted to purposefully make him feel like shit. You love him that was true and it always was but you came to really love Eren too. And why should you hold your love back from Eren who wanted it so desperately for Levi who constantly pushed it aside?

Entering the dining hall, you're a bit surprised to see Historia and Zeke eating quietly. They look up shocked to see you two but you both take your seats across from them.

Levi takes his post behind you, sensing the awkward tension. The servants serve the food, and you begin eating in silence. It's none other than Zeke who speaks first, not to you or Eren, but to Levi behind you.

"Commander, I see you're back to guarding. How's our prisoners?" His voice is dripping with condescension.

"I had to relieve Mikasa, it's been days and she needed to rest. The prisoners haven't given us anything new that's substantial."

Zeke's smile is coy and he drops his spoon loudly, "God forbid, they had something else up their sleeve, at the pace you guys are going we would've all been dead already."

Eren speaks up, "What are you trying to do? Or do you just open your mouth to hear yourself speak?"

"Woah, where's this animosity coming from, dear brother?"

"It's coming from you being an asshole ever since mom and dad died."

Zeke shakes his head with a sickening chuckle, "Oh no dear Eren, I've been an asshole for a long time. You were just too balls deep into Historia before to notice."

Your mouth drops open at his crass nature. Thank God the only people in the room already knew everything, but shit.

Eren sucks in a deep breath, "Are you not embarrassed? Your wife didn't love you so she sought it from your younger brother. Does it make you upset? Does your skin crawl to know that I've been inside her more times than you? Is that why you're trying to frame me for the murder of our father?"

Zeke takes a sip of water, "Eren, let's not mix separate ordeals together. We're not talking about our old man dying anymore, we're talking about you betraying me. You know me, I like to pay people back." His eyes fall to yours, his intentions clear.

Eren grabs onto the table in anger, "Leave Y/N, out of this."

"So you get to fuck my wife but I don't get to fuck yours? Didn't father always remind us to share our favorite pretty things as kids?"

You want to speak up, your blood beginning to boil but when you see Historia's face your voice catches in your throat. She's not upset at the way that Zeke talks about her or you, in fact her eyes are glazed over as if she's not even present.

"They're not objects!" Eren defends, "If you want revenge because you're mad that I betrayed you or whatever then fine, take it out on me."

A chuckle leaves his brother's lips, "Trust me, I will." He stands up, his food not even nearly finished and looks down at his wife. "You're done, let's go Historia."

Submissively she stands up, her food only half eaten and follows him outside. To be quite frank, Zeke's words don't have as much of an effect on you as they did before. All he did was antagonize people and try to push them to their breaking point, and the more of a reaction you gave him the more fun his game was. It's why you had remained quiet instead, willing to observe his words and actions and trying to figure out how the puzzle pieces fit together.
