Levi x Titan! Reader (Original)

Chapters 15

So many days had passed since you ran away from the humans. You were sure Armin would have been upset after finding out you ran off, that is if he was still alive as well. But you were ready to go back now, ready to face the fact that Levi might be dead, that he could never fulfil his promise of telling you why you resembled someone he knew. The birds were chirping cheerfully as you walked along the forest, head hanging low as the memory of Levi's face still played in your mind over and over. Somehow your sadness had turned into guilt, because you felt as if you should have gone with them. You could have saved Levi, done something to prevent him from getting hurt. But you didn't, and it was slowly taking you into a deep depression.

"I'm sorry" you say in a soft voice, more tears falling down your face as you step over a river, careful not to stand on any wildlife or big sharp rocks

"My fault"

The castle easily came into view, and you smile a little, the good thing about being 15 meters tall is that you don't get as lost easily. Your footsteps got quieter and you got closer to the castle. However your quiet entrance was suddenly disturbed when something flew and smacked you in the face, literally. A loud groan escaped from you, and you stumble backwards onto the floor, landing on your backside. The blur actually turned out to be the human with glasses, Hanji. She was crying and she hugged your face, screaming words you didn't quite understand, but you managed to get the words "how could you leave me?!?!" through her screams.

Then the rest of the humans came, crowding around you with rather happy expressions, but what made you smile was Armin. He ran up to you and hugged your leg as it was the only thing he could reach, but then you picked him up and nuzzled him after Hanji reluctantly let you go. But even though you were very glad that Armin had survived, deep down you were still sad.

"Ah, you have returned. Good" Erwin had gotten to the front of the crowd, a gentle smile on his face as he looked up at you "After you have greeted everyone, I will need to see you personally". You tilted your head and nod. What did he want? Was it something about yourself? Levi? Either way you were going to find out soon.

20 minutes had passed and you finally had gotten free of being fussed by some of the humans. You had gone into the forest a little as you figured he would want to meet somewhere more private and less noisy, but you were still near the castle.

"Now then, where were we?" You spotted Erwin sat down near him, looking at him with a soft expression as he began to explain why he wanted to talk with you. "Well, to put it simply... we would like to see if you are a titan shifter, or not. But there is a risk, You could die. Now I know and understand if you would not want to do it however I think it would be best for you.... and for Levi". Your eyes widen and they water as you whimper, Erwin noticing your negative reaction to hearing Levi's name. 

"Please do not be upset, Levi is fine. Yes he did not look fine when we first arrived...but he is fine now. Though it would probably be best if you saw him tomorrow as he is resting."

Hearing this from Erwin made all your negative feelings disappear, and you started crying with happiness

"Oh, I have an idea. if you would want to, you can see Levi in your human form, if you have one" Erwin smiled, and you nodded eagerly. If you did have a human form, you could hug him....

"So, do you want to begin now? I will have to strike your nape, much like Levi has done to Eren to get him out of his titan form" Erwin draws his sword and you feel fear starting to pool inside you, but you just nodded again and leaned down to the human "I am sorry if it is painful in any way, I will try not to hurt you". The memory of Levi making his promise to you replayed in your mind as Erwin stood on your back, positioning his sword over a certain part of your nape. Even though you felt very scared, you smiled and waited for him to strike, and he did. The whole camp must have heard your loud scream.
