Your lie (Levi • Reader)

44. The plan

... Quickly you left the table, the group looked worried and partly hopeful, trying to motivate you desperately, before following.

I am dead ...

What does he need me for?
Today him and I didn't need to train, it wasn't on our graphic, which he always followed so strictly.
So does he want to talk with me about yesterday? Oh no, please no, who knows what kind of shit I had said.
Was it something about him? Or that Perra or even both?
Aghh, why can't I remember?

Levi led you to a room with Hange, Erwin and Mike already inside of it.
"(Y/N) and Leshit are here!", she excitedly announced.

"Leshit...", you giggled.
Levi gave you a poisonous glance from the side.

"Don't call me that.", he said annoyed.

Hange enthusiastically continued.
"As you all know, ladies and gentlemen, we have gathered here for an important occasion.", she stopped and smiled at Erwin from the side, who intended to continue for her.

"Thank you Hange.", he put his hands onto the big table, around which all of you stood.
"We have waited several weeks for it to happen again and it finally did. A small raid.", he looked over to you warmly.
"As I have already announced, (Y/N) (L/N) will join a small group of three people to trace down a criminal, who has had the opportunity to spy on us for over the last year.", he continued.

With a serious expression he announced:
"After long thinking, I decided it is best this group to consist of Levi, (Y/N) and me."
Mike next to Erwin furrowed his brows.
"I know that not only the number is small, but that the people in it are quite important."
Your heart pounded faster at his phrase.

"Levi is the strongest member and knows the corners down there better than any other person. Having him inside, is essential for the success. With him our rate stays higher than with anybody else.
And when it comes to (Y/N), she has been a noticeable recruit for quite a while.", he turned to you.

"You have proven to be quick-thinking in stressful and hard situations, especially in moments of decision. You acted out of instinct and through that, disobeyed and ignored orders several times as well.", Erwin spoke directly.
He was right, I know that.
But my decisions have never proven to be wrong. Maybe Eren and the whole group would've died if any of us had hesitated.

"...and you're stubborn, I have to confess.", he added in slight amusement, when reading a little resistance on your face.

"Tch.", Levi raised an eyebrow.
"That idiot can't control herself. Right now she's having a hangover."

You glared at him from the side.
"And what has that got to do with the mission?"

"It means you're neither capable of taking orders, nor controlling your own behaviour.", he emotionlessly replied.

"As if you you haven't had such a thing.", you responded sharp-tongued.

"I haven't.", his cold eyes laid on you.
"Because alcohol has no effect on me."

"HAHAHAH (Y/N), he's got you there!", Hange laughed.
