Humanities Strangest - Levi x Reader

Chapter 1

Your eyes opened, the sun came beaming through your window, basically assaulting your eyes. Ugh, it too bright. You thought, rolling over checking the clock. 4:00 am.

It was just yesterday you graduated from basic training and chose your regimen. The Survey Corps. Most Cadets recieved a small private room. Enough space for a single bed, desk and small closest. Some were assigned to shared rooms if things filled up.

I guess I should get up.. they are assigning squads at 5:30. your body was still stiff from sleep as you swung your legs over the side of the bed and got up.

You were a pretty good soldier. A natural in ODM gear, not afraid of Titans, cautious of them yes, but not afraid and excellent at hand to hand combat. You graduated in the top ten of your class, skills on par with Mikasa Ackerman.

Pulling your uniform on and bucking your harnesses you looked in the small mirror, grabbing your toiletries and made way to the woman's washroom.

As you left your room you heard footsteps approach you. "Hey!" You heard from behind you. It was Mikasa. Despite being a similar skill level you two had become friends. Most thought you'd be in competition, you never liked that mentality though. Everyone was valuable, in their own way.

"Good morning." You nodded. Nearing the entrance of the washroom, "Excited for squad matchup?"

"I don't care which squad I'm in honestly. So long as I'm with Eren.." she trailed off as the two of you walked in.

Ah, yes, her little boyfriend. You chuckled to yourself as you both got to the sink and began to brush your teeth, then did your hair up in a high ponytail. It was morning so not many people were very talkative.

--------

After breakfast you all assembed on the HQ grounds, lined up neatly waiting for the squad selection to begin. You saw a few familiar faces in the crowd, Connie, Jean, Mikasa, Eren, Armin, Historia and a few others. The only person you ever really talked to was Mikasa, even so you guys didn't spend alot of free time together.

The crowd quieted as three people walked infront of the group of Cadets. The first was the Commander - Erwin Smith, followed by Section Commander - Zoé Hange and lastly Corporal - Levi Ackerman.

In unison everyone preformed the salute over their hearts and held that position. "At ease." Erwin said, shuffling the papers in his hands. "As you know, you will be devided into squads today. There are many factors that determined which squad you will be placed in. This desicion was made carefully and is not up for discussion."

Your eyes took a quick glance around. Everyone was egar to know what squad they were in. Many wanted Zoé Hange's squad, which was understandable. From what you heard she was fun and intelligent.

"We will jump right into it. First off, my squad! When your name is called step forward and line up off to your right!" Erwin announced, he read off his list, one by one people shuffled off.

Hm... No one I knew. You thought, not recognizing any of the names.

"Next is Zoé Hange's squad!" Erwin moved to his next sheet of paper. He began reading. You didn't recognize many of the names until you heard him call Connie, then Historia. You didn't speak with them much but you knew they got the squad they wanted.

Wait.. that means.. your eyes shot forward. Shit. That meant you were stuck with Corporal Levi. Not that it was a bad this but this was a man with very high expectations. Not to mention his squad was dangerous. Not too long ago, his entire group was wiped out. Him and Eren were the only survivors.

"And that leaves the rest of you to Corporal Levi's squad:

Mikasa Ackerman

(Y/n) (l/n)

Eren Jaeger

Armin Arlelt

Jean Kirstein" The lot of you formed a line infront of Corporal Levi.

"That is all, Cadets! Please meat with your squad Captains" Erwin preformed the salute, along side his other two comrades. Everyone followed suit. "Devote your hearts!"

"To humanity!" The cadets shouted in unison.

--------

Soon after everyone dispersed into groups with their squad Captains.

The raven haired Corporal approached the group. Everyone stood at attention. "At ease." He said, his voice cold. "I have been observing your training, you all show potential." He continued "Everyone will meet in my office, 5:00 am sharp tomorrow, presentable and ready for roll call".

"Yes sir!" The group said in unison. Not a man full of friendly hello's..

"That is all, you may go." With that we headed back to HQ.

-------

The rest of the day was pretty slack. Everyone tried to enjoy their last day before missions and more training. You spent most of the time in your room alone, reading. You were 23, everyone else was 18 or 19. Mikasa was closest in age to you, being 20.
