An Ackerman Job

"Careful."

His hands shot to your waist, instinctively-firm, setady, familiar.

That voice.

Your breath caught in your chest.

You looked up to see him.

Gray eyes, sharp and startled, just for a fraction of a second before his expression closed off.

"Levi?" you said, barely above a whisper.

His grip loosened immediately, stepping back as if touching you burned him.

"You shouldn't be standing here," he said, tone cool and professional. "It's not secure."

Not fully understanding. Your brows furrowed. "You're-"

"Captain Ackerman," he corrected, his voice cutting through the air with a sharp edge. "Security."
.

Years after being sent away from the Reiss estate, you return carrying secrets, scars, and memories you never truly buried.

The Winter Gala looms, security tightens, and the one person you never expected to see again is suddenly everywhere.

Levi Ackerman is no longer just a boy from your past-he's Captain Ackerman now. Professional. Distant. Untouchable.

But some things are harder to guard than others.
