Basement Dweller (Levi X reader)

Chapter Four

~One Month Later~

I've started to regain my weight and my fragile frame grows strong once again. I can't see my bones and I know that's a good sign.

But there's something else, something...different I've been feeling. I can't quite put my finger on it. And I can't ask the man I now know to be dead who has protected me all these years. So I go to his son, Eren.

"Hey can we talk?" I ask. He nods and smiles.

"Sure (Y/N)."

We've gotten closer over the month. I've even concidered telling him why I was there...but he'd tell the others. I can't have that.

"Well..." I start pacing in the small room. "It's Levi. It's only been these past two weeks but when I'm near him I just get...what's the word? Happy. I think that's it. And feel warm."

Eren smiles. Why? I was freaking out here. What the heck was this emotion?

"I think I know what's going on." He says. "You like the Captain."

My eyes widen. No...I couldn't...why would I? I mean it's not just his anger issues but his age that make this a bad thing. No. I can't like him.

"But...how?! When?! I didn't allow myself to do this!" I say.

"You don't 'allow' yourself do it. It's involuntary." He chuckles.
