Loved For Once (Levi x Reader)

•Chapter Seven•

"What is it?" I ask.

He looked at me carefully, not saying a word. I stand there, not backing down to the staring contest. "That's our queue to leave." Erwin told Armin.

Oh.

I thought he was being a creep. I guess he was just waiting for them to leave. Once the door closed, he sighed. I could tell he was tired. "Do you know how to handle a knife?" He asks, looking at me with no emotion. I shake my head, "Wasn't planning on being here." I shrug. "Right, of course." He then gets up from the chair and walks closer to me.

He reaches in his pocket and takes out a knife.

...

My eyes widen, I look at him, confused. "Today, you'll be learning how to defend yourself. Unwanted guests sometimes come in our quarters and cause trouble. Maybe even people you don't expect. He says, putting the knife in my hand. Just for a moment, our hands touched. I look at the knife, not knowing what to do.

He then takes another knife out, "I don't want you to hold back. Try killing me, (Y/N)." He smiles.

The devil I say. The devil!

I then grip the knife, I look at my hand, it's shaking. I'm a doctor, not a fighter! I swing at him and I see him hold back a laugh. I roll my eyes and try again. He proceeds to dodge my careless swings.

"You would be dead right now." He crosses his arms. Doesn't sound so bad, to be honest. He then grabs my arm, making me drop my knife. I wince in pain, this is the same thing Mikasa did. What seems like forever, he let go.

"We have a long way to go."

"(Y/N)~" someone calls from behind.

I turn to see Sasha. I smile weakly at her. "Woah! You look like dog shit!" She then puts her hand over her mouth. "Spiacente." Translation: Sorry. "It's fine. Levi just kicked my ass. He tried to teach me how to fight with a knife." I answer, still feeling drained. "Wouldn't be crazy if you just showed up one day, knowing how to use a knife?" Sasha looked at me devilishly. I tilted my head, confused. She then laughed evilly, making me shiver.

The hell is her problem?

"He'll probably beat me anyways." I shrug. Sasha smiles, "No doubt!" She cheerfully says, "But, it's worth a try." she reaches in her pocket and pulls out a potato and a knife. She takes a big bite of the potato and hands the knife over to me. "You don't need one?" I ask. She laughs, "If I have to, I'll use the potato." She responds, taking another big bite out of it.

There will be no potato soon to defend her. I held  the knife carefully, so I didn't drop it. I then stood in the stance Levi had taught me earlier. Noticing this, Sasha smiled, "I see he has taught you the basics." I nod, and swing at her.

Damn, she dodged it. I guess I suck after all. "Now don't look like that! You're a beginner. It takes practice, (Y/N)." Sasha says. She sounds somewhat mature.

I'm impressed.

-

I think back to the training I had with Levi and Sasha. Never in my life I thought I would be training to use a knife and gun. It's been a month since I've gotten here and two weeks since I started my training.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm liking it here.

"Hey, doc." A voice behinds me calls. An unfamiliar one too. I haven't gotten the chance to meet everyone yet. I turn around to see a man. Immediately I knew something was up, he didn't have a uniform on and he was giving me a weird look. "What is it?" I ask, casually going to the drawer and getting the knife. I look at him dead in the eyes. After I put the knife in my pocket.

I'll make a move only if I have to.

He walked closer and closer. Just then he put his hands on my hands, tightly. "Mind telling me you name?" He asks with a sinful smile. This feels oddly familiar.

"Mind telling me your name, amore?"

My eyes widen at the memory. The kidnapping. "Get your hands off me." I growl at him. "What if I don't want to?" He then pins me to the nearest wall. I try pushing him off me with a kick, but he puts his shoes over mine so I couldn't move an inch.

He leaned closer and closer. I wanted to scream but nothing came out. I moved my head to the side, he sighed and tilted my head straight towards him. I moved my now free hand near the pocket that contained the knife but he was quick to react and grabbed my arm once again, more tight this time. I winced in pain. How many times are people going to hurt my arms? First the pervert, then Mikasa, now This creep.

I looked at the door. It was closed. Shit, is it locked too? Just then, someone knocked on the door. "Why is your door locked, (Y/N)?" Who sounded like Armin asked. "Speak and I'll kill you." The creep whispered. "(Y/N)?" Armin called. Soon, no one was at the door anymore.

Damn it. This creep is gonna do who knows what to me.

Just then, a loud bang was heard at the door. Not a knock, that's for sure. The creep looked back at the door then back at me. He was frozen. I tried to break free, that snapped him back into reality. The man smiled at me and leaned in.

The door swung open, revealing Levi and Armin. "(Y/N)!" Armin called out. The man pulled out the knife that was in my pocket and put it to my neck. "Move and she dies." He spoke, grinning like and idiot. Armin looked like he was going to faint, while Levi looked calm.

I looked the man dead in the eyes. He looked back. That's all it took, two seconds of distraction. Fast as lightning, Levi ran at the man, pinning him to the wall, freeing me. I fell to the ground in the process. Levi then grabbed the man's hand that held the knife so hard that he dropped the knife.

Armin came rushing to me. "(Y/N), are you okay!?" He looked panicked and scared. How was he in the Mafia again?

I looked to my right to see Levi was now stepping on the now unconscious man. I sighed in relief, though I was too scared to say anything. "Damn pigs. How did he even get in here?" Levi muttered in a disgusted way.

He turned to me, "Did that training go to no use?" He asked with no emotion. Like I said, I was to frightened to speak so I just stared at him. He just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He then muttered something under his breath.

Am I going crazy or did I just hear the scariest man I knew say 'thank god you're okay?'
