Do You Have Regrets? (Levi x Reader)

Chapter 5: The Stars

I made my way to the front of HQ where Hange and everyone from the short expedition that took place that morning would be. Hange beamed happily at me as she ran towards where I stood. I returned her smile and I could feel the enthusiasm radiating off the woman's body. "We did it!" she said excitedly. My eyes widened and I couldn't contain my excitement. "REALLY?" "YES! WANT TO MEET THEM?" "ABSOLUTELY!" I shouted as I followed Hange to where our new experiments were being kept. A few people gave us weird stares as we were being quite loud, but we couldn't have cared less. I felt the adrenaline rush through my veins as I ran alongside my best friend. 'Finally after weeks of trying to get our hands on some titans!' I thought to myself.

We arrived in a courtyard and I saw two titans, being held down with ropes and stakes. The beautiful beasts sat there, no longer struggling to break free for the binds that held them. I heard Hange scream in excitement. Moblit made his way toward us after talking to a few soldiers who were keeping an eye on our titans. The Garrison Regiment sent soldiers over to watch the titans during the day. I think I was almost crying with joy. Hange and I were jumping up and down and hugging each other. "Squad Leaders, please calm down." Moblit said worriedly. I walked closer to the titans and stared in awe. If I could figure out everything about them, then we could end them. Hange followed me, although she stood much closer to the man eating monsters. "Squad Leader please step back!" Moblit yelled as one of the titans was leaning down toward Hange. "Oh look this one is going to talk to me! Come on my dear, let me hear you speak!" Hange yelled with glee. Just then the titan launched towards Hange and she swiftly moved out of its reach, laughing hysterically. "You almost got me there dear!" she laughed. I grabbed Hange's shoulder and moved her a little farther away from the titans. I glanced back at Moblit and he looked like he was going to faint. "Hange! Try to be careful." I told her and she nodded.

"Y/n! We should name our babies!" Hange suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Oh we should, what kind of parents would we be if we didn't!?" I inquired and Hange looked to be in thought. Although then she started to think out loud. Rambling on about different historical figures and such. "Hange, I'll name one you name one deal?" I questioned. "Perfect! I call the one on the right!" Hange said, then she returned to thinking about a name. The titan on the right one, of course, had a very demonic smile. It had short blonde hair and brown eyes, which kept darting back and forth between Hange and I. The titan on the left had dark brown hair, with a long beard to match. Even with the beard I could see him grinning from ear to ear. It had dark hazel eyes that stayed transfixed between the two crazy women in front of it. I stared at the beast and observed everything about it. Taking everything and mentally noting, searching for the perfect name to such an evil creature. It needed to be something plain, but also with a meaning. Then I remembered during my time in the Underground I ran into a man named Albert Franz a few times. He was known for committing the bloodiest murders, for seemingly no reason at all. The few times I had seen the man, we had never spoken. He was shifty and killed only because it brought him joy, killing people, watching them suffer with unimaginable pain brought him joy. Let that sink in for a minute. He was the definition of evil and the perfect inspiration for the name of my titan experimentation.

I was drawn out of my thoughts, having decided on a name and I realized Hange had stopped talking. I looked at her, "Have you chosen a name yet?" "Yes I have, and it is perfect." Hange said, in a somewhat challenging tone. 'Does she think her name will be better than mine?' I thought to myself, gladly accepting the unspoken challenge from the scientist. "Ok, let's hear it and I want to know the reason behind the name as well." I said and Hange smiled back at me. "Of course Y/n I would never leave any detail out!" Hange walked a few steps closer to me and cleared her throat. Then she began. "Back about fifty years ago, our lands were plagued with an unending doom. Although this time the predators seemed to lay within the walls. A murderous cult was terrorizing towns within the confines of Wall Maria. The group would go out every night and take as many as five young girls and women. They would perform many painful rituals and then in the end consume the poor victims." she was pacing back and forth in front of me. Putting on a very theatrical performance just to explain the name she had come up with. Though I was hanging onto every word. "The cult had many different recipes and oftentimes came up with the most devilish ways to ingest the humans. Eventually this cult was caught and sentenced to execution. The man who was the leader of the cult and responsible for all the bloodshed called himself Chickatilo. The followers of the cult called him their devine leader and worshiped him greatly. Once the evil man and his followers were killed, people went back to living. No longer fearing evil cannibals. I'm afraid they were mistaken though, because right outside the walls lay the monsters who did almost just what the cult had. Yet they seemed not to care. So in honor of the man who started it all I am naming this beaming beauty Chickatilo!" Hange finished her story and smiled at me.
