Underground (Levi x Reader)

Debt

I flew across the housetops on the 3DM lines, the hot wind whipping my hair around my face as I searched frantically for Levi.

Where was he? What the hell had he been thinking going in without backup?

I swung off of one of the rooftops, toward one of the smaller 7 meter titans that ambled along below me between the houses. With a yell, I swung my sword across the back of its neck as I passed, sending it crashing to the ground as crimson blood sprayed upward across my face.

I kicked off the wall of the opposite house and righted myself on the lines as I shot forward again, headed toward another titan, a 10 meter this time, looming above the next rooftop.

It opened its large jaws as I approached it, reaching out a dirty, bloodied hand toward me as if to try and swipe me out of the air. I spun on the lines, my blades whirling out in front of me, and sliced easily through its outstretched fingers, the severed digits flying through the air in all directions as blood splashed onto the rooftop below.

Adjusting my trajectory, I whipped upwards using the 3DM and, using the titan's large shoulder as a leverage point, planted my boot in the groove of its clavicle and vaulted over its back, swiping my sword across the nape of its neck as I tumbled through the air.

The titan plummeted to the ground, destroying what was left of the bloody, wrecked house beneath it.

I glanced over my shoulder at its steaming body and muttered under my breath, "And stay down, you bloody bastard."

I paused on the next rooftop, wiping the blood from my vision, and searched the horizon again for Levi.

I swore under my breath. Where the hell was he? If he had really gone looking for me, wouldn't he be in this area still? Unless......

An enraged yell drew my attention to my left. I glanced over the rooftops, just in time to see Levi vault over the head of one of the titans, his sword dripping blood, held to the sky, as the titan toppled to the ground beneath him.

I felt relief instantly bloom in my chest at the sight of him, instantly followed by anger at his reckless behavior. And he had said I did stupid things in battle. I'd never let him forget this.

I shot forward on the 3DM lines, headed toward Levi, who had lightly landed on a rooftop next to the fallen titan he had just taken down. I had almost reached him, when a titan loomed up behind him.

"Ackerman. Get down!" I yelled out, coming at them way too fast to slow down. I'd have to use the extra momentum to take out the titan behind him.

He glanced up at me, seeming to understand what I was trying to do, and rolled out of the way at the last minute. I shot over his head, hooking my line into the shoulder of the grinning titan, but it threw off my planned path, as it threw out an arm to try and knock me out of the air.

I swerved on the 3DM, narrowly missing its grasping fingers, and with a grunt of effort, brought one of my blades down on its forearm as I whipped past. I heard the bone crack under the sword and the titan's arm fell limply back down to its side as it turned its head to follow my flight path.

I swung in a wide arc around it and came back again, blade raised. It had turned slightly to track my movements. I'd have to hit the angle on the back of its neck just right to take it down.

I adjusted the pathway of the 3DM slightly as I approached the large titan, and with one, hard diagonal swing, brought the sword down on its neck.

I landed back on the rooftop beside Levi as the titan, its mouth still agape, crashed to the ground behind me.
