Among Titans

trusting the untrustable

I counted about 3 days. I was left alone, aside from an angry boy called erein who brought my meals, the whole time. Levi never came back once. My hands were untied, and I was chained to the wall. The ribbon they used to bind my neck was removed, but my muzzle was not. I needed a key for that.

Around the time for my noon meal, I began to sing. I knew I was so deep into the walls, that no titan can hear me, But the melody that escaped my throat calmed me. I need to get out of here, my brother must be worried. Though I stayed gone for days, I normally tell him my plans. I hope there was enough food for him.

Eventually I got tired of singing and settled for the dripping. It had rained last night. Water seeped through the cracks, soaking everything. There wasn't enough to worry me, But I was restless. Drip... Drip..... Drip....Drip Drip........ Drip... Drip...........Drip.....Drip.... Drip Drip... Drip. The door opened, and natural light flooded above me. The steps approaching me were different. The person who came this time was Levi. I growled.

"Shut up you barbaric brat." He tsked. Levi entered my prison. "Don't run away. You won't get far." He cornered me. "Lets go." He said taking my hands and tying them. I was unchained. Levi put a firm grip on my arm, nearly carrying me out and up the stairs.  As soon as we got to the door I shook free and ran, but not far. My injury slowed me down significantly. Levi caught up to me, tossed me over his shoulder and resumed his plans. "Is the bath ready?"

"Yes sir!"  I began to fight. No no no no no! I could get in a bath tub. Who knew how deep with would be! He's going to kill me! I was dropped and stripped of clothes, rope and muzzle. He harshly dragged me to a corner and tossed a bucket of water at me. I screamed, trying to breath.

"You really are barbaric." He laughed. He was enjoying this. I glared at Levi. He held a sponge covered in bubbly soap. From the corner of my eye, I saw the tub. it looked huge and deep from where I was sitting. Levi grabbed my arm and began furiously scrubbing my skin. We wrestled for a good 30 minutes before he got me from head to toe. I was pushed in the corner again. Another bucket of water was tossed at me. I coughed, nearly choking. I was snatched up and tossed in the tub. I screamed again, scrambling, trying to get out of it. "Just get in!" I yelled frustrateedly, as he tried to push me in.

"No!" I screamed. I clung helplessly to the side. "I'm going to drown! I'll die if I get in!" He tsked, and stopped pushing me. I flopped out and crawled to the corner. I was to dizzy to find the door and run.

"Your to troublesome to be barbaric," I looked at Levi, He was completely naked. Automatically, I covered my eyes. Mom always told me to never look at someone's naked body. "I'll take a bath with you, so you won't drown." He chuckled. I felt his firm grip on my forearm once again. I didn't fight him, knowing I wasn't alone. I clung to the side still.

"That was the first time I've heard your voice." He said sitting next to me.

"Well I couldn't talk earlier." He smirked. "When will you be releasing me? I don't belong here." Levi said nothing. He just laid back, closing his eyes. The soft steam caressed his skin. He had a few scars, maybe from mishaps of titanus battles, or maybe from his everyday life. His body is very Well built. I wanted to touch it, but there was no way I would let go of the edge.

"Its not deep, even for a brat as short as you." He turned his head to me, glaring like usual. "I won't let you drown in 2 feet of water."

"Your only saying that. As soon as I let my guard down, your going to push me into a deeper part an watch me drown." He tsked and resumed his previous resting position.

"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be here now." I glared at him, knowing it was true. "A barbaric brat afraid of water... that's hilarious." I watched his normal hard ass face give way to a slight mischievous smirk. For someone like him, It was cute.
