The One that Got Away • Zeke Jaeger X Reader

Chapter 1

"Sweetie, when the time comes that you already have your child, you'll need to pass this family crest of our clan." My mom said while she's stitching something I don't know.

I just nod at her and watch what she's doing.

We live in the underground, because we're hiding from the bandits who wants to sell us.

The bandits wants to sell us, because we are part of the Oriental clan.

"Mom, can I play outside?" I asked my mom.

"You can't sweetie, you know it's dangerous for you to play outside, besides you don't have anyone to play with, right?" My mom answered me.

"But mom look, I saw a kid like me playing outside." I still insisted.

"Fine, I'll just watch you playing, but don't go anywhere, and just play in front of our house, alright?" My mom said.

"Yehey! Thank you mom!" I exclaimed and I went outside, and I saw a kid playing with a knife on him.

"H-hey" I stuttered because I'm scared cause he's holding a knife and playing with it.

He just look and me with a cold eyes.

"H-hey, why are you playing with that? it's dangerous." I said to him.

He just stare at me and he don't answer me.

He's sitting on a wood while playing with his knife, but he stopped when I talk to him.

I sit beside him, he looks lonely. I often saw him near in front of our house.

He didn't stand up or walk away when I sit beside him.

I look at him and just cutely smiled at him.

He just stares at me, while I'm smiling at him.

"What's your name?" I ask him, but I think he won't answer me again.

"Levi, just Levi." He finally answered me, though his voice was low but I still heard him.

"Your name is nice!" I said happily to him.

"You, what's your name?" His low voice ask me.

"(Y/N) Oriental." I answered him, I'm always smiling at him to cheer him up because he always looks sad.

Oh! I remembered I'm not allowed to say my last name!

"Just kidding, my last name isn't Oriental." I nervously smile at him. I don't know what to say because maybe it's too obvious that I'm lying.

"So, how old are you?" I ask him, changing the topic.

"I don't know, maybe 16?" He answered, he wasn't sure of his age.

He's 16?! I can't believe because he just looks like at my age, I'm just 11 years old.

"R-really? you're just 16?" I sounds like I don't believe him.

"Mm" He answered.

"Can I be your friend?" I ask him because I've always wanted to have a friends.

He just look at me.

After a minute he finally answered me.

"Okay."

My eyes are so shocked when I look at him.

"R-really? Yey!" I happily stand up and offer my hands to him for him to stand up too.

He accepted my hand.

"It's getting late, so I'm gonna go home, and by the way my house is just there." I point out my house for him to know it.

He just nod at me and slightly smiled.

"Mom! I got a new friend! My first friend." I proudly said to my mom.

"Really sweetie? what's her name?" My mom asked.

"Mom, it's him not her, his name is Levi." I said to my mom while helping her because she's cooking. My dad will go home later because he's still at his work, he works in amarket at Wall Sina.

"Oh it's nice that you already have a friend, but take in mind sweetie don't give your trust easily to others because you know that many people wants to kill or kidnap us." My mom said.

"Of course mom I always take thay in my mind." I smiled at her.

Months pass by, Levi and I became closer and we often go to the same woods where we met.

I always brought him to my house last week and he met my mom and dad, and they're happy to meet Levi.

"You're so good at knife, you really know how to use that huh?" I said to him.

"Mm." He answered in hum tone and slightly laugh.

"Can you teach me?" I jokingly ask him.

"You're not allowed." He slightly chuckled.

"Why not?" I smirk at him.

He didn't give me an answer and he just throw some rocks at the river.

"Hey, I'm glad you became my friend." I said to him while smiling.

"Are you happy?" He asks me.

"Of course! who wouldn't be happy?" I laugh and he just chuckled.

I suddenly hug him because I'm really thankful that I met him.

"Thank you." I said

I know he's shocked but still he tap my back.

"Thank you also." He said.

"Let's go home." I said to him.

We silently head back to our home.

"Bye Levi!" I said waving at him and he wave back at me.

My legs are shaking from what I see in front of me.

The dead body of my mother and father are laying down on our floor, bleeding.

And there's a 5 men that holding knives and gun.
