Midnight | Levi Ackerman

Chapter 6

LEVI pokes my arm repeatedly. "Psst, brat, wake up," he gently whispers.

I groan, turning around in the bed. Exhausted wasn't even the word to describe how I was feeling. Apparently there was a big celebration that followed the coronation, and that included fireworks, games, and drinks.

An elf had handed me a cider, and I happily accepted. I didn't think the alcohol was so strong, and I was dancing with everyone. Heck, even Levi was happily dancing around, and at some point, we both made it to a home set up for us (since there was no castle) and ended up falling asleep together.

Levi had placed a pillow in between us while I was out cold. He wasn't as dizzy as I was.

I was still in the dress, except my corset was off. I assume Levi had taken it off for me. Things like these were normal. Growing up, we were always comfortable with changing around one another. Of course, we respected each other when we had to get nude. However, I really didn't care if I had to change my top in front of him (given I had a bra on) and he didn't care if he had to change his bottoms.

Levi placed his hand out in front of me, and I gladly accepted it. He pulls me out of bed and hours straight into changing. "Go shower first. I already did. Your change of clothes is on the chair. Meet us in the living room." With that, he was gone.

I obey his instructions. Relieved, I put on the clothes that weren't a dress. I wore something similar to Levi's. Brown boots, along with white pants, and a green coat. I also had a pair of brown gloves to wear, along with a black scarf. My mother's ring was still sitting on my finger perfectly.

I wonder how my newly unlocked powers work.

Beyond the room, I could hear a conversation going on. I step outside and notice Levi sitting down by a table with Historia next to his side. And then there was Erwin.

"Idiot. Were you not conscious?" Levi asks the blond man, sighing.

"I was under the influence, okay?"

Making my presence known, I take a seat next to Levi. "Why are we calling Erwin an idiot now, Levi?"

"He became the commander of the Survey Corps. He was drunk when he accepted the position," Historia informs me.

I remember Sasha telling me about the Survey Corps. It's what she was a part of. The military of ancient Paradis.

I snort before I laugh for a while. "H-how is that possible! Oh, Erwin, only you!"

Levi rolls his eyes in annoyance. "Well, at least he's committed."

Erwin smirks. "You know I have excellent leadership skills, Levi. I can get very serious if needed. Y/N knows that too, right, my lady?"

I nod. "I can confirm it. But you can just drop the 'my lady', Erwin. I'm not interested."

Erwin did not let my rejection ruin his mood at all. I have to give him props for it.

"Anyways, besides that. What are we going to do? Where do we begin with restoring Winter?" I ask Historia and Levi.

"That's where I come in," a mysterious voice comes through. I turned around my seat and noticed a figure walking through the door. She has pointy ears and goggles on her hair. Beside her is Jean, the snowflake.

"Finally," Levi comments. "We've been waiting for you, Four-Eyed freak."

"Levi!" I scolded him. I stand up from my seat, putting a hand out for the person to shake. "Excuse him."

"Nonsense!" She gets down on one knee.

"You don't need to do that!" I retort.

Standing up, I notice how tall she is. She's much taller than me.
