Safe In Your Arms (Modern AU?) {Levi x Reader}

You had promised Levi and Hanji that you would be there at 7:00 pm.

Yet, you were still searching for the restaurant where they was supposed to be.

Your eyes were watering up.

Levi had booked an expensive dinner at such a luxurious restaurant, but you were so late. You sometimes stumbled on your long dress, leaving brown stains on it. You looked at your old, torn wristwatch.

7:07 pm.

You looked around you. The streets were so unfamiliar to you. They were full of people and it was so loud. Your neighbourhood was nothing like this. It would be quiet and peaceful. You walked into a nearby alley, hoping for some peace and quiet there. As you expected, it was calmer there. You looked around, hoping to see someone you could ask for directions. There was no one there but two men who were stumbling over the own feet and were a few years older than you.

You looked closer. They were holding wine bottles, mostly empty.

Oh no.

You knew that drunk people were people to avoid. Who knew what they could do to you?

You turned, heading for the crowded streets, where you would be surrounded by people who could call the police at any moment.

A hard, rough hand grabbed your wrist, preventing you from running away.

“Well, well, well. What do we have here?”

You turned around, seeing one of the men you saw earlier. He had a badly shaven beard and messy, unkempt hair. You struggled against his grip, twisting and pulling, doing whatever you could, but his grip was too strong for you.

“She’s a real beauty!” said the other.

The other man, a blonde, stroked your (h/c) hair, sending shivers down your spine.

“Let go of me!”

“Sorry, girly,” he slurred. “We can’t do that before having a bit of fun with you!”

The man who was holding you let go of the empty wine bottle he was holding and it shattered into a million pieces under your feet. He took your other hand and put it behind you, holding you in place.

“I said let go!”

You were terrified, not knowing what they would do to you.

“Stop struggling, it’ll go much faster that way.”

“HELP! Somebody, please he-”

The blonde kneed your stomach, making you drop to your knees, coughing and gulping for air.

“Shut it,” he said, “or I’ll shut that big mouth of yours for good.”

You reluctantly kept quiet, bracing yourself for what they would do. The blonde chuckled at your misery. He reached for your dress, about to pull it up.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Levi?

You looked up and saw the black-haired man standing there, still looking completely composed and confident, but the look in his eyes let you know that he was furious.

“Well, would you look at that,” said the man restraining you. “The knight in shining armor comes to save the damsel in distress.”

“Dude,” said the blonde. “That’s Levi! You don’t want to mess with him!”

The man holding you laughed. “You said that you'd only heard rumours of him. Look at him! You think that a shrimp like him could even hurt a fly? Come on, go get him!”

The blonde hesitated, but ran towards Levi. Levi stood his ground, not even flinching. When the blonde came close enough, he tried punching Levi, but Levi simply took his hand, twisting his wrist.

“AARGH!”

The blonde fell to his knees, clutching his badly injured wrist, but he was on his feet in a matter of seconds. He ran for Levi again, though it was a horrible decision, as Levi punched the blonde’s stomach, causing the man to once again fall to his knees.

The man holding you was shocked, not expecting any of this at all.

He hastily pulled a sheathed knife out of his pocket, unsheathing it with shaky fingers. He put the cold blade to your neck.

“If you come one step closer,” he said, “I’ll cut this young woman’s neck, ending her pathetic life.”

To show that he wasn’t kidding, he pressed the knife against your neck, drawing out droplets of blood.

Levi flinched. But he relaxed after a moment, though you didn’t know why.

BANG!

The man’s head had been hit by something, causing him to lose consciousness, releasing you. You turned to see Hanji standing there with a frying pan in her hand.

“Wow!” she said. “Frying pans are actually pretty useful in combat! They’re not all that portable, though...”

Levi walked over to you and helped you up. “Tch. Be more careful next time.”

You smiled at him.

“How did you guys know that I was here?” you asked.

“You don’t like loud noise,” Levi said.

And I was worried about you, were his unsaid words.

“I was following Levi,” Hanji said. “I had a hunch that something was wrong.”

You were overjoyed that your friends knew you so well, but you realized something that struck you with guilt, wiping the smile off your face.

“Levi, you spent all your money on that dinner!” you said. “I was late, and you guys were just sitting there, waiting for me. I wasted both your time and your money..” Your eyes were watering. You looked down at the ground, unable to look at them in the eye.

“I’m so sor-”

Your lips made contact with Levi’s. Your eyes widened in shock. Even though you wanted to pull back, you somehow melted into the kiss. Levi was first to pull back.

“Listen, (f/n),” he said. “That doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you’re safe.”

You and Hanji were shocked by the sincerity in his voice. He had never spoken like that to anyone. Did he actually... like you?

You hugged him tightly. Levi hesitated, but he eventually wrapped his arms around you, letting you know that you would be safe in his arms.
