// LONG TIME, NO SEE: Levi x Reader, Modern!AU // We met in the orphanage. You looked so unapproachable, so rude. But, as all stories go, it wasn't as it seemed. We became quick friends. Best friends, even, though you wouldn't ever admit it. But we both knew it. And even though you always looked angry and you hardly ever smiled... Everything was great. We were fine. We were alive, we were wanted, and we were happy. But you were adopted, and I was left on my own. You left me all by myself. You promised me something the day you left. You promised me that we'd find each other again. This time though, it'd be on the outside of the fence we weren't ever allowed out of. I miss you already. It's been a while since I've heard your voice. Do you still remember mine? Do you remember my name? Someone mentioned your name. Maybe it was only someone who shares your name, but maybe, just maybe, it's you. But... do you even still consider us friends? Am I still someone to you? Levi... we finally found each other again. It sure has been a long time, hasn't it? // DETAILS: // Welcome to LTNS! This modern AU sets the scene in an orphanage. Originally written in 2015 when I was in middle school, it was reworked to better represent who I am as a writer. If you've read it before, I'd love for you to read the updated version, but the original sits at the latter half of this book - it is completely untouched, and it is the exact same as it was when I originally wrote it for those who would like to read that version. This story is tagged as mature for its language and for mentions of blood, scars, nonconsensual touching, etc., so beware if any of these are triggering to you. There is also sexual content in the story. This story's MC (Y/n) will be female with she/her pronouns.

I shot him a wicked smile as I brought one of my hands up and began to trace. Levi jolted forward quickly, reaching his arms for me. I quickly slapped my palm against his chest and shoved him back onto the bed. "Do I have to tie you up again and teach you some manners?" I asked forcefully. Levi narrowed his eyes at me and ran his tongue along the front of his teeth, clearly irritated. But I knew that deep inside, he didn't mind my dominance. In fact, he loved it. --- After almost two years of training and increasing your skills in Captain Hanji's regiment, Commander Erwin is ready to appoint you as a captain of your own squad. A promotion this early on in your career is extremely rare. In order to attain this promotion, you have to shadow another captain for a few months. Little did you know that the captain you would be shadowing would be the infamous Captain Levi. You had only heard about him through rumors and whatever Hanji whispered to you. Determined to make a name for yourself, you stand strong against his attitude and impatience. But how long can you resist his charm? No one said you can't mix business with pleasure. ***I do not own any fan art used. The artists are credited at the beginning of the chapter unless they are unknown.
