The Doppelganger

That Man Part One

"Are you really going to take him to this warehouse?" Hanji asks. Even Erwin is unsettled by Levi's twisted threat; and they both give him and uncomfortable look.
He shakes his head. "No, the dungeon below the scouting outpost will suffice."
"You sure?" Erwin asks, "we only get out there about twice a month, you know."
"He'll be chained, and he'll get food whenever we bring it. He can suck it up."

Erwin shakes his head, and turns back to the barracks. Levi takes his prisoner, and a couple cadets to deal with the man. It's a long time before we hear about him again.

A Month Later:

He's walking down the hall to his room, when the walls shimmer before him. A different view is being given to him. A familiar bedroom, a familiar woman.
Y/N.
He can hear you. You're humming to yourself and it makes him smile. He walks up behind you quietly, and wraps his arms around you; making you jump.
You turn and look at him cautiously for a moment before realizing which Levi has come to you. You smile in relief, wrapping your arms around him in return.

"Thank goodness it's you." You rest your forehead against his, drinking in the sight of him before turning serious.
"Where is he?"
"Locked up and chained. He's not going anywhere."
"You should have just killed him!" You spit venomously.
He doesn't like the sound of that coming from you, not at all; and he lifts your chin to look him in the eyes.
"Hey. No, don't talk like that." He pulls you in closer, stroking your hair. "Don't."
"I can't help but feel this. He changed so much, Levi. I don't think I knew him anymore really."
"Come with me, YN. Come back to my world."

You hesitate just long enough for the dreaded feeling of rejection to set in, before you respond and the anxiety is very clear on his face.
"Let me finish. I was packing anyway."
"Where were you planning on going?"
"Don't know, didn't care." You say, throwing the last of your clothes in your overstuffed suitcase. He smiles at your pluck, and watches you conclude your packing; feeling happy yet a little scared that you actually chose him.
'Might be an even worse decision than the other one.' He thinks, and then takes your hand; guiding you into his world.

Meanwhile:

"Well.. the stories are true after all."
The sound of footsteps coming closer alert 'Levi' to the man's presence, and he opens a tired eye. The man is tall and lanky, with a lopsided and crooked grin. He looks dangerous.
"What the hell do you want with me?" He asks, voice cracked with thirst and hunger.
"I want an in to your world. A partnership, so to speak and-"
"Tch."
"And most importantly", he adds while unlocking 'Levi's' cuffs; "I want the good captain dead." He turns his back and walks out of the cell, unafraid of the dangerous man he just unshackled.
"Who the fuck are you?" Levi asks, rubbing his sore wrists and gazing at the man with guarded interest.

"Kenny."

"I want you to stay here while I go up on the walls. There's some concentrated titan activity, and I want to assess the situation." He kisses the tip of your nose, then silently gauges your reaction. You're looking around skeptically, and it makes him nervous you might change your mind.
"What's wrong?"
You look around slowly, before smiling and answering. "This place is in dire need of a woman's touch."
He scoff at that, with a quick roll of his eyes. "Where can I find one?"
"Hey!" You exclaim, lightly punching his upper arm. He grins at you with a little wave, and heads out the door. He's actually feeling pretty good for a change, and with a soft smile; heads up to the top of the wall to meet with Erwin and Hanji.

"Hey asshole."
He freezes in his tracks, and slowly turns.
'Levi'.
