Ymir's Necklace: The Secret You Hold | Levi x Reader

Climax

LEVI'S POV

It was loud. The sudden smoke prompted Levi to quickly shut his eyes and cover his entire face with both of his arms. The explosion pushed him with a force so strong he could feel his entire body traspassing the wooden walls.

As he reached the floor with a loud thump, Levi could hear muffled screams in the distance. Both of his ears rang with a fury as he cursed out loud.

You had shifted, there was no doubt in that.

Levi did not allow himself to panic. He quickly brushed his eyes with the back of his palms to gain some clarity in his vision, but all he could see was the wood rubble that had collapsed onto the ground.

As he began to focus his sight, Levi saw you. And fuck, had he forgotten just how bone-chilling you were in your titan form. He could feel his skin tingle with goosebumps as he began standing up - with quite some difficulty. His wooden leg had been damaged in the commotion.

Lefi lifted his head, his eyes meeting yours in an instant that felt just too short for his liking. He wanted to stop you. He wanted to keep you safe. Yet, as he continued to penetrate your pupils with his, he realized he couldn't. Levi could never fully protect you. And he had been a fool to ever believe so.

Eerily, you turned your neck to look away from Levi, your eyes began to search for something.

Someone.

That fucker. The fucker who had you. You were searching for him in the rubble. But there wasn't time for that. The stakes were too high at that point.

'(Y/n)! Here!', Levi yelled, capturing your attention effectively. You turned to face him again, your eyes finding his instantly.

And no more words were needed. Levi realized you understood. You nodded slightly and began moving, your gigantic legs walking away from the explossion and into the camp where the thick of the fighting was taking place.

Levi frowned and parted his lips in worry as he observed you walk away from him, screaming intensifying in the background as people became more aware of you menacing presence.

And just like that, Levi knew he had to keep going. He had to keep fighting and trust that you knew what to do. That you would be okay.

You would be okay.

'Fuck! Captain, are you okay?!', Levi heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

In a matter of seconds he took sight of Armin, and right behind him, came Jean and Connie in a rush.

'Fine. We have to help her out, now!', Levi let out and all three of them nodded in unison as they followed his lead.

There was no hesitation. Not a second to overthink. And the sight of you helped Levi be more precise with his strikes: it gave him the force he needed to slay whoever stood his way. He quickly gained momentum, more than he ever had in the last three sad years.

In the back of his brain, as he continued to ferociously kill Warriors, Levi reminisced on how meeting you had changed him. You had changed his entire life. You had pushed him in ways no one ever had before. You had given him the will to live, to fight, to love.

Levi never knew what love was before he met you. He never understood it. He had heard of it, he had even seen it. But he had never truly never felt it. Not until you came around, and by believing in him, you unlocked a part of himself he had never even known. And in a beautiful way, he had never felt more like himself like than when he was around you.

Every sound had suddenly become mute. In between the choatic scene, Levi could see his squad fighting eagerly. He spotted Mikasa and Reiner teaming up further away. He could see Connie was mouthing something to Jean. But he could not hear a thing.
