Before Us (Levi Ackerman X Reader)

Chapter 11: Erwin Smith

The four of them were kneeling down in front of a tall blonde man with stern yet soft blue eyes, a muscular physic and thick eyebrows. (y/n) kept herself bent lower than the rest, trying to ignore the pain in her wounds.

"Now," said the man, "where did you get this?" He held up the handgrips from one of their gears.

The four kept their heads down and didn't say a word, especially Levi, whose hair covered his eyes.

"Who taught you how to use this?" The man questioned them, "were you in the military?"

They all kept quiet as the blond man walked in front of Levi, (y/n) watching, ready to pounce at him.

"You're their leader, right?" He asked Levi. He lifted his head so he could see him eye to eye, but another scout grabbed Levi's head and slammed it against the grimy puddle of water that he was in front of.

"Levi!" Isabel exclaimed.

(Y/n) growled like a bloodhound and was about to attack the scout until someone pulled her hair and placed their foot on her back. She grunted at the pain, the red metallic liquid trailing down her lips and her scratched cheek and her breathing began to sound ragged.

"I'll ask again," said the man, "where did you learn to use the Vertical Maneuvering gear?"

Levi twisted his head, so that he could see the man that slammed his head against the puddles, giving him a death glare.

"We taught ourselves!" Furlan blurted.

"Is that so? I'm not buying it."

"It's true! It was just so we could rise even a little in this dump. You people wouldn't understand!"

"Let sis and brother go! Don't be arrogant just because you're soldiers!" Isabel said.

"Please..." (y/n) breathed heavily, "...it's the truth..."

The Scout pulled Levi's head out of the water and the one who held (y/n) let go of her hair and kicked her back, causing her head to hit the ground. She snarled at him.

"Sorry..." the scout said, but she remained giving him a death glare, which made him uncomfortable.

"My name is Erwin Smith," said the blond one, crouching down in front of Levi, "and yours?"

"...Levi,"

"Levi," he repeated, "let's make a deal."

"A deal?"

"I will let your crimes go unpunished, however in return, lend me your strength and join the Survey Corps."

(y/n) lifted her head to make sure she heard right. The Survey Corps? Please! How can we join them when they basically attacked us and placed us in handcuffs? Who the fck do these people think they are?!

"And if he refuses?" she asked.

"The Military Police will have you. Considering all of your crimes, all of you won't be treated very nicely." Erwin walked away from them, "choose whatever you think is best."

She looked at Levi, waiting for his decision. His sleek pitch black hair was drenched from the muddy water, dripping as the water traced his jawline staining his perfectly while shirt.

"Fine,"

A small gasp came from Isabel, Furlan and (y/n) kept their heads down. Levi spat and looked again at Erwin.

"I'll join the Survey Corps"
