My Dream [Levi x reader]

Wijayakusuma

To be honest I hadn't known what to expect from the meeting with Erwin. He had always been unpredictable to all, but as time passed I had learnt to kind of foresee his moves in advancence. However on my way to his office, with Levi by my side, I felt like I had lost this ability.

"(Y/n), from now on you are Section Commander of the Scouts regiment and if anything were to happen to me you would lead the scouts."

I spontaneously looked at Levi. 'How should I react to that?' Turning back to Erwin, I asked him. "Why me?" "What do you mean?" He responded. "I thought it was Levi. I thought he was the big change, the revolution you wanted. You've always trusted him and his squad the most isn't he the one you want to make second in command?"

Erwin shook his head. "There is a difference between a strong soldier and a good leader. Levi has the strength of a beast, but can you see him inspiring a fifteen years old to risk getting eaten, alive without any reinsurence what so ever, that they will change anything by doing so? No? I thought so." My heart sank in my stomach.

'I can't imagine myself doing this either. So again... Why me?' I thought.

I felt Levi reaching his hand for me under the Commander's desk. Taking it, I spoke again. "Are you certain, Erwin?"

He nodded. I took a moment to think. "Then I accept." I felt how Levi's thumb gently ran over the surface of my hand. "Good. I apologize for asking you to come here right after your return. You two rest today. Tomorrow we'll talk about the last two weeks." We rose up and left. Even though I had my back towards him, I knew Erwin smiled, looking at me and Levi holding hands.

"I'll go and tell Hanji. She will be mad if she hears about this first from someone other than me." I said, letting go of his hand. "What about Alice?" I sighed. "She doesn't want to talk to me more than neccessary." Levi frowned. He knew Alice was still acting cold towards me, because of Farlan's death. I heard her say once that if she had been in my place, he could have lived. "Its alright, Levi. I want to focus on the good things right now." I smiled and got a bit closer to him.

"Congratulations on your knew position, Section Commander." Said Mike, appearing out of nowhere. Interrupted again. 'Why do I even try?'
"Thank you, co Section Commander. Either word travels faster than light or you and Erwin had planned this all along." Didn't have to answer to that.

"You will do great." He smiled almost unnoticeably, but it was the widest smile I had ever seen on his face. I hoped both he and Hannes were right by saying that. For the sake of everyone.

I took a step away from Levi as slowly as possible. We were a bit too close and I still had some hope Mike hadn't noticed anything, although it was unlikely.

"No offence you two, but I can smell a titan from few miles away. And even if I couldn't, you would still be painfully obvious. So do you really think this is neccessary?" I almost blushed.

"Speaking of which," I said. "Mike, when you and Erwin came to talk to me the first time we met, you smelt me. Then, if I remmember well, you and him nodded at eachother. What was all that about? What did I smell like?" Mike still had his solemn expression on, despite my absurd questions. "Erwin told me whoes daughter he was going to meet and asked me to check if you had your dad's smell." My heart hurt, when he mentioned father, but my face showed none of it. "Did I have it? His scent?" My voice almost cracked.

"No." Mike answered and I smiled sadly. I had known it all along, I would never be as strong as father was. "You smelt nothing like him. You have the scent of Wijayakusuma, the queen of night." That I really had not expected to hear. "What does that mean?" I asked, trying to remember ever hearing this name. "That is the flower of victory, (Y/n)." Said Mike.
