~Levi X Bullied Reader
~(F/N) (L/N) is the last girl any Scouting Legion Squad Leader would want to have on their ranks. She is very timid, shy, quiet, and a bit clumsy, but most of all, she is weaker compared to other Cadets. Despite all her flaws, she has compassion and she is willing to put others before her in times of need. She also secretly admires the infamous Captain Levi Ackerman of the Special Operations Squad, the team which her best friend, Petra Ral, once belonged to.
~Levi Ackerman only cares about two things with regards to his new recruits; their ability to clean and their worth in battle. It doesn't matter if you are selfless, if you have none of those traits he is looking for, you are not welcome to join his squad. He is also very devastated with the loss of his one true love, Petra Ral, the most clever and reliable soldier he knew.
~One very unfortunate event occurred and ever since then, Levi hated (F/N). Despised her. But, one particular moment happened in which Levi was left pitiably helpless and severely weakened. One twist of fate forced him to rely on the one person he detests the most, (F/N).
~What will happen to the two? Will Levi change his attitude towards the bullied girl, or will he carry on hating her for the rest of his life? Will (F/N) strive to meet Levi's standards, or will she just give up and succumb to her own weakness; her inability to face her fears?
