One-shots & Short Stories [Levi | Reader]

Levi x Reader (x Petra) ~ Ms. Elf and The Brigand

"Now kids, I'll tell you a story so ancient not even your grandparents have heard of." You told the little kids who stared up at you with amazement and curiousity shining in their eyes. 

Currently you were wearing a nice white buttoned up shirt with white trousers and a comfortable brown leather boots and jacket. Your hair was put up in a ponytail, revealing slightly your fake elf ears. 

You and the rest of the Survey Corps were made to perform some kind of a show to the little kids, you didn't even had an idea why.

But as long as the king says it, you all do it.

In the end you had to be the narrator, while the others play a role in the performance or take a place in the backstage staff.

And now as you were around the river, and you mean real river, you continued to tell the kids the story.

"Many, many years ago in a happy kingdom lived a very pretty princess, who had a beautiful voice, kind personality and a wish to be free and run away. The princess would always run away from her father's castle then go in the forest where she would just feel free of all the burden of being a royalty. One day as she was bathing in the near river." You looked over to the river in front of you and the kids followed your gaze to there, meeting with the petite figure of Petra, who was playing the princess in the story. "She felt unusually anxious about something." As if on cue Petra looked around nervously as you had practiced and you continued.

"She didn't know why, but she felt like today something big was going to happen. Oh, but look--- What is that?! A brigand?" You exclaimed and the kids looked around meeting Levi's crouching figure inside the bushes behind the river.

"The brigand couldn't see the princess and so did she, because they were facing each other's backs. While the princess was still bathing in the river, the raven haired brigand took his chance to run over to the near trees, but as he was running on the coast of the river, he suddenly tripped over the princess's gown, which she left near her before entering the river." 

As you were telling that, Levi ran over the coast and make it look like he was tripping over the dress suddenly and falling on his knees and elbows over it. Usually the scenery said that the brigand had to fall face flat on the ground, but the corporal had harshly refused falling in the filthyness we normally call ground. 

"The brigand realized he'd tripped over a dress and finally looked over to the river, seeing the princess who heard the noise and turned around to face him as well. The looked at each other's eyes for a few moments until the raven realized a golden tiara was standing right next to him. He understood a royalty was right in front of him, so he quickly stood up and preperad to walk away as fast as he could until---"

"W-Wait!" Petra called out with extended towards Levi hand while still being in the river. He stopped.

"The princess called out to him and he froze up in his tracks. Never turning around to face her, but following her orders nontheless, he stayed on his place while the princess exited the river and went to take her dress, then covered herself up and went right behind him." 

"What's your name?"

"The princess asked him and blushed slightly from embarrassment. The brigand looked back at her and a little hesitant answered---"

"Levi." The short corporal said not so coldly. He had an act to hold up after all.

"My name is Petra." 

"The princess answered while smiling sweetly to him and he found himself mesmerized by her natural beauty." You talked and the kids just stared at the scene playing in front of them, while listening to your words. You should admit, you liked this.
