Instincts (LEVI x READER)

I

One. Two. Three. Three stabs to three guys in order to get the bread. The military police were slowly decreasing one by one for me. As I have grown up, I never killed people, but I had hurt them in order to survive on the streets. Now I'm grown up. I have people that rely on me to get food for them. I felt consistent and I guess 'in place' in my hometown. I meant something to people, in a good way. This was my reason as to why I killed people. There were barely any good people here, including me. If I died, so be it, but I knew others were going to die along the way if it was that chosen path.

After acquiring the bread, I would drop them off at the places that were commonly my customers, and I got paid by clothes, water, a bath, but at the end of the day, I stayed in my abandoned basement of my home. Everyone in that household has been eradicated except for me. I wasn't rejected, but rather, I was left, left to survive while the rest of my family couldn't. The only thing I remember from my parents was one word. The one word being my last name. It has been ingrained into my head. That secret will never be shared.

-LEVI-

I heard the cheers of others for my title of promotion. I smiled in my head. It was crazy to think that all of this happened, but that people were still having a shitty day. Everyday, countless lives are dying, countless people are crying, and in despair.

Hanji was in the middle of speaking to me when I heard something from another conversation, "Red was at it again! I'm going to smack him in the head if he causes more deaths to the MP. I'm done. The lives he stole are all going to make his life a hell"

I looked away, and walked towards that direction, "Aish, what are you guys talking about" I told Eren and Jean.

"Haven't you heard? Red is making a spree of kills in the span of this week" Eren interjected.

"Does it matter? We have titan matters to choose from."

"But Captain Levi, this person is from the same place Kenny the Ripper was and you were."

My left eye twitched and a strand of my black hair fell into my vision.

"If the Military Police can't stand him, I will send out people to find out who it is." I sighed, knowing it wasn't a big deal.

"Can we go?" Eren and Jean yelled. They then looked at each other, and busted foreheads. "I said it first!", "No, I did!"

Rolling my eyes, "Knock yourselves out. I'm not in control of whether you get beat up or not"

-Y/N-

After multiple days, I started to get sick. Really sick. I was getting down with a fever and got a broken ankle from jumping too high off a building. One of my customers loaned me a black hoodie to cover myself.

Perfect. I thought. This won't show any weakness when I go out again. I sniffled much when I was trying to sneak up on one of the soldiers who blatantly was having a conversation out loud of their meat rations. As I was listening to his words though, he didn't sound cocky, nor did he look like any of the ones I've seen.

Something's fishy. I looked around, and saw another soldier, looking at me.

They know I'm here and they're going to see if I'm going to do anything. But this isn't the military police. It's another regiment.

I gasped. The Scouts.

While the other soldier wasn't looking in my directions, I swept under the other soldier's foot, made him fall back while I kicked him in the gut and hit his head on the floor to get knocked out, as I dragged his body to the corridor I was hiding in. I checked him for notes, anything on him. I found that under his hoodie, I saw the familiar wings crest.
