levi's daughter (eren x reader)

008

after dinner, i had rushed over to my father's room. i knocked on the door three times.

"name and business"

"your daughter and eren"

i heard a very loud and exasperated sigh and footsteps coming towards the door. father came out and grabbed a pair of keys.

"lets go brat"

—

when i had gone down to the dungeon i saw eren sleeping in a bed, with his hands and feet loosely chained to each bed post.

"why are we chaining him up?" i asked.

"well we don't know if he can control his powers yet. this is merely a safety precaution."

we heard another set of footsteps enter the dungeon.

"uncle erwin?"

"(y/n)?" he looked surprised, "what are you doing here?"

"i'm one of eren's friends and i came to see if he was alright."

"if hanji knew she would be ecstatic" he said with a smile.

"did she..?"

"every little detail."

"what's this about your shitty glasses godmother about details?" father asked from behind me.

"nothing levi, it was a simple joke between me and her" uncle said.

if father knew about my not so little crush on eren he would flip out. not because it was eren, but because his "little girl was not ready yet to experience love.'' quite contradicting since he met my mother when he was about my age. it was only a matter of time.

the shackles were jingled in the cell and we all looked to see eren slowly waking up.

"w-what the" he said groggily, noticing the shackles on his hands and feet, "where am i?"

"in the scout regiment's dungeon" uncle erwin said.

"w-who are you"

"i am commander erwin and this is corporal levi of the scouting regiment. oh and your friend, (y/n)"

his eyes widened, "wait (y/n) as in your goddaughter?"

"yes."

"did (y/n) ever mention her dad?" father asks to eren. i mentally face palmed.

"n-no? i remember letters but not actually her mentioning her father."

father gave me a look. it was the 'are you actually serious did you not tell anyone about your father because you're embarrassed of me or because you're scared of their reaction' look. i gulped.

"so eren meet my father?" i said looking at eren. when eren looked at father he was in such shock it seemed like he was a fictional character. over exaggerated.

"the c-corporal" he said while looking back and forth between father, "is your dad?"

"i did tell you that i grew up on a military base didn't i?"

"(y/n)! why didn't you tell me!?"

"i didn't think it was that important?"

father and erwin both looked at me when i said that.

"im not your father, but damn that hurt" uncle erwin said.

"you're grounded" father said sternly.

"w-what? you can't ground me!"

he comes up to me and knights me with his arm, "i, levi ackermann, officially nominate you into my squad, you're cleaning the stables for a month"

both father and uncle got up and walked out of the dungeon.

"oh yeah eren, you had a military tribunal tomorrow" uncle says as he walks out of the door and leaves with father.

i look back at eren and put my face into my hands.

"i hate cleaning the stables so much! and now i have to do them for a month?!"

"not as bad as the whole world not trusting you." eren said looking away from me.

"what do you mean?"

"you heard me. there's a reason why i'm locked up here right?"

"well do you know how to control your powers yet?"

"i never knew they existed up until now.."

"exactly! look this is just a safety precaution. i would stay down here with you believe me. but if i did my father would give me another month's worth of cleaning. and i'm not sure if i want to do that"

"speaking of your 'father', how is it being the daughter of the strongest man of humanity?"

"he's very strict when it comes to cleaning. i think if he had it his way i wouldn't be a soldier" i said.

"what would've you been then?"

"i'm not sure. i wouldn't want to just sit around at home. that's for sure. i've always loved learning, perhaps a teacher?"

"you would make a great teacher"

"i would like to think that as well."

a wave of silence came over the both of us as i struggled on things to say. should i confess? would there be another time?

"hey (y/n)?" eren asks timidly now.

"yeah eren?"

"do you like anyone at the moment?"

i froze up. it was like he read my mind, "yeah, but he will never see me the way i see him?"

"who is he?" he asks now, his tone happy but his eyes now saddened.

"i can't tell you!"

"why not?"

"savez-vous de quoi je parle? (do you know what i am saying)"

"what?"

good he won't know.

"je vous aime bien (i like you)"

"i have no idea what you're saying."

"i just told you."

"hey! no fair! i'll say who i like if you tell me" he says with a winky face.

a part of you didn't want to know, but a part of you needed the closure.

"then tell me" you smiled.

then he froze up, as if he assumed that i wouldn't take on his gamble and actually want to know who it was that he liked. he took a deep breath and looked at you.

"(y/n), its you."

— this will be the last chapter for quite some time as i am getting bombarded with work from school and other obligations, please excuse this <3
