Diamond In The Rough (Levi x Reader)

17- Burns

Third Person POV

Levi was walking passed Petra and Gunther when he heard them whispering.

"Damn...it actually worked. I didn't think it would."

What the hell are those two talking about?

Levi thought to himself, gingerly handing (f/n) over to Hanji.

"Don't worry, Levi, I'll take good care of her. I'll be sure she gets back inside the walls safely. But we need to talk first." Hanji quietly spoke with him.

"About this whole Titan shifting thing?"

"Yes, and I think we should do it somewhere more private." Hanji replied, getting on her horse with (f/n) still in her arms.

Levi sent his and Hanji's squad to meet up with commander Erwin's squad, before he got on his horse as well.

Once they got to the cart, Levi helped Hanji set (f/n) in there. Another cadet was there, helping out the other injured cadets.

He went over to (f/n) and tended to her while Hanji and Levi walked off so they could talk.

"You do realize what this means, right?" Hanji started.

"Yes, I do." Levi mumbled, looking back over at the cart, seeing (f/n) still knocked out.

"If anyone outside of the scouts finds out, she's going to have to face trial..." Hanji sighed, looking at the cart as well.

"No, she won't, Hanji. What happens outside the walls, stays outside the walls." Levi replied.

Hanji opened her mouth, about to say something but shut it.

"We just have to keep this a secret, no one can find out. I don't want to see her in court. They could do anything to her! They could throw her in a cell for the rest of her life...or worse...execution."

Hanji nodded, sadly, thinking of what could happen to her friend. A few tears came to her eyes, but she contained herself.

"Don't fucking cry now. She'll be fine as long as everyone can keep their heads in their asses for the time being."

Hanji chuckled as the tears disappeared from her eyes.

"Alright, well it looks like they're about to take the cart back inside the walls." Levi said.

"Yeah...but how do you think she has this ability?" Hanji asked.

"Not sure, but I heard Ral and Schultz whispering to each other. They probably don't have anything to do with it, but still." Levi replied, walking over to the cart, Hanji following behind.

When they got over there, Levi grabbed (f/n)'s hand in his and gave it a light squeeze.

"Please wake up soon." He whispered, lightly kissing her forehead before backing away.

The cadet got on his horse that was pulling the cart, and whipped the reins.

A few other cadets on horses rode near the cart to escort them back inside the walls and keep it safe from Titans.
