Levi + Reader- Strangers To Lovers

Words: 2648

1st Month:

Your first month in the scouts was tricky, especially the first day. From the choosing ceremony you went straight to the scouts HQ, there was no chance to rest. It was a pack-your-stuff-and-leave situation. The people on the other regiments frowned at you and the small group who chose this route, but they would never understand why you chose this route, or why your friends chose this route.

You'd all lost something when Shiganshina fell those 5 years ago, Eren was there for revenge, Mikasa and Armin following him... actually most had followed him after his inspiring speech, before he was shipped off to the scouts due to transforming into the said titans he hated. You were there for a slightly different reason; you had also lost your family and that left you with no care for your own life.

The moment you lost your family you lost your life as well, so you decided to do something with what you had left and joined the scouts to try and better the lives of those who were crammed inside the walls. If the titans got you and you died, you were ok with that, at least you had done something with the empty hollow left which was your body.

The first day was when you also met Captain Levi, humanities strongest solider, you were messing about with Connie and Sasha when he called you to attention. You stood in the salute eyes firm and ready, he looked you over carefully more than he had the others, you had to admit he was terrifying but you refused to let it show. You had witnessed your entire family murdered before your eyes, you could take an angry glare from a handsome midget.

He soon moved on, but his piercing blue eyed stuck in your mind and made you heart beat fast, even though that was the only contact you'd had with him for that month, you still couldn't get him out of your mind. Until it happened.

2nd Month:

On your second month you were finally promoted to Levi's squad. The fact that you were happy about it was probably quite harsh, as it was the death of his squad that finally got you there. This put you in much closer contact with the man and the first time that you had a full conversation with him alone.

You caught the captain in the mess hall alone, drinking some tea, you got some for yourself and sat across from him with a smile on your face. A smile that opposed what you truly felt in the inside, which was empty and hollow nothingness.

"Yes brat?" Levi's eyes flicked to your own.

"Oh, ummmm, I just want to know why you chose me and my friends to be part of your special operations squad?" You thought of something quickly so that you didn't seem too creepy.

"Complaining?" He quirked an eyebrow.

"No, no, no. I'm actually honoured that I was chosen, I was just curious i supposed, I'm probably not the best option" you felt you smile fall a bit.

A falling smile that he didn't miss "don't put yourself down like that, I picked you because your more than capable. You fly out there believing your not good enough, you fly out there to die. Remember that."

He said it to encourage you, you knew that, but it did nothing for you. You were ready to die, and when the time came, you would welcome it "hmmmm yeah" is all you could say "excuse me sir" you nodded and stood leaving the table, not noticing the cool grey eyes watching you with a frown.

3rd Month:

Your third month in the scouts and second month in Levi's Squad was when you first stared to notice Levi's eyes following you. They started as glances and turned into him just fully, and quite blatantly, staring at you like he was trying to figure you out. That conversation you had with him alone seemed to get him curious with you, you heart skipping a beat every time you thought of those eyes watching you.

"(Y/N)? Are you ok?" A hand in your arm made you jump and look.

It was Armin who had pulled you from your thoughts, you instantly put a smile on your face "yes, sorry I was just thinking"

"You seem to be doing that a lot lately" Mikasa joined the conversation dragging Eren behind her "and looking at the Captain."

"Huh. N-no" you stuttered knowing that she had you pinned "w-what are you implying."

"Nothing" Mikasa mumbled just staring at you, the tension filling the space until Eren escaped from her grip and went running for Jean while yelling, Mikasa going after him.

*Time Skip*

Later on in this month, you and Levi began drifting together, both of your curiosity for each other pulling you together. You were often invited into Levi's office to help him with his paperwork and this let you slowly get closer and closer to each other, and you eventually became friends in your eyes, you weren't sure what the man thought about your closeness but you hoped he considered you a friend.

"Are you ready for the expedition next month?" Levi asked you not looking up.

You faltered slightly but kept the smile on your face "of course, it'll be my first expedition in your squad, second in total. But I'm ready."

Levi stopped writing and looked up to you a blank look on his face as he gave you an almost glare, he didn't say anything, his eyes starting to make you uncomfortable. It felt like he was trying to pierce your soul, you met his eyes back and you both just stared at each other, no paperwork being done.

That was until you were interrupted "Shorty!" By Hange breaking down Levi's door.

4th Month:

You were on an expedition, Levi by your side as you ride next to him, this expedition went drastically wrong very fast. It wasn't long before a messenger from one of the outside squads had met your group, with some pretty grave news. They had run out of flares as they had been pretty much wiped out.

This meant that you had to take the message to the main group, Erwin's Squad, as you were the special operations squads messenger. The moment Levi gave you the nod you were off, but not before noticing the slightly concerned look in Levi's eyes at you going out alone, but you weren't worried. If you died you died, you had no one left to miss you anyway.

*Time Skip*

You were now completely alone, you couldn't see your squad behind you or Erwin's Squad before you, but you didn't have far to go to them. You had to go through an abandoned village to get there and that became as dangerous as you were warned, a massive crash made you quickly turn your head, it was a Titan, and it's hungry eyes were on you.

Your horse reared throwing you off it's back, you gasped and fell hitting the ground hard, you were stunned, and a massive smiling face soon filled your vision. That spurred you into action and you rolled and jumped out of the way of its hand, you still had a message to deliver after all. You looked for your horse while dodging another strike, but sighed the moment you saw him running away from you, you went to fly with your ODM gear to take down the Titan but luck wasn't on your side today.

A loud clunk and a hiss told you instantly that your ODM gear was no more, the fall from your horse had destroyed it. By this point the Titan has turned and was lunging for you again, you rolled out if it's way but then stopped. What am I doing? There's no way out of this. Why am I even fighting this? You sank to your knees giving up, the message wouldn't be delivered but there was no way out of this.

The Titan turned and lunged again, you closed your eyes, just waiting for death, why was I fighting? I'm perfectly ok with death... aren't I? At this question, a face popped in your mind, Levi. You wanted to see him again, but now you guessed that wouldn't be happening ever again.

"(Y/N)!" That familiar shout snapped your eyes opened, it was Levi just the man you had been thinking of.

Your head spun in the direction of the shout but you instead felt arms wrapped around you lifting you from the ground, just as the titans jaws snapped shut where you had just been kneeling. You were them placed in a roof as Levi flew back to kill that Titan, it was a blur of moment and the Titan fell, before Levi landed in front of you a scowl on his face directed at you.

*Time Skip*

The moment you got back to HQ, Levi grabbed your arm and began dragging you down the hall to his office, he slammed open his office door and forced you down in to a chair. He then tapped you in by slamming his hands down in the arm rest of the chair you were in.

"Why are you so angry?" You were confused about what could have caused this sudden anger out burst.

"You gave up! You know you did. Why did you do that?" Levi demanded.

You didn't want to divulge into your past, you didn't feel that you and Levi were close enough yet "does it matter, my horse has ran away and my ODM gear was broken, what's the point from there"

"The point is that I don't want someone in my squad who doesn't care about their wellbeing and someone who gives up easily" Levi growled out.

You sighed, you didn't want to get kicked From his squad, it would mean you couldn't be with Levi anymore "you know I'm from Shiganshina don't you?"

He nodded so you continued "I lost my family that day, I lost all who I cared about and all who cared about me, I guess I sort of just decided if I die I die, I'm not scared about death and at that moment I realised that if that's how I was going to go then I would welcome it."

"That's not an excuse to give up" Levi started "It never is, even if you think you've lost everyone who cares about you, you haven't. There will always be someone who cares, take it from me brat and never give up like that again."

You frowned, looking at him, as though you were asking him to continue. You could see in his eyes as he thought for a moment before he did continue "I'm originally from the underground, I lost my mother at a young age and then the person who trained me left me all alone as well. I soon made some friends, but they were killed in the first expedition we did with the scouts. The amount of times I could have just given up and died... but I didn't as I know there are still people who would miss me if I did. That's what you have to get through your own head."

Your mouth was wide, it was a very un-levi like thing to say, but it did make you think. "Thank you...for saving me and all"

"Your welcome. Now go and get dinner before everything's gone. You know what that food monsters like" Levi finished moving to his bedroom leaving you alone and with your thoughts but not before he called back "think about what I said!"

5th Month:

After that talk you and Levi became even closer than you were before, you both understood each other on a much deeper level, and he spent slot of his time with you trying to pull you out of that 'welcoming death' stage. Levi was right, there were people who cared for you, the 104th cadet corps that came to the scouts. They were all your friends and they would miss you if you died.

And Levi, he wouldn't ever say it but you could tell that he too would miss you if you died, you could see it in his eyes every time the conversation came up. They weren't blood but they were family all the same family that you would miss if they passed away.

As well as your new mindset, that was the month that Hange started to get involved with you and Levi, she was a bit like an overbearing mother that desperately wanted grandchildren. Every time you were with Levi ,Hange would turn up and make everything extremely awkward between the two of you, every single time, you didn't know how she managed it she had her own jobs to do around HQ.

"Shorty and (Y/N) are you two hanging around one another again" Hanges teasing voice came up behind the two of you.

She went to put her arms around the two of you and you soon felt the arm, Levi however batted her away and stepped so he could turn around and look at her "what do you want glasses, I am sort of busy here"

Levi glanced between between you and Hange's and annoyed look crossing his features, Hange soon responded while shaking you "yeah, busy trying to get off with (Y/N). It's been months and your still just drifting around each other."

"Stop talking like that, it's disgusting" Levi frowned.

You squirmed and managed to get out of Hange's grip as politely as you could she was still and captain and a higher rank than you, so you had to be carful. "hello Hange. Done any fun experiments today?"

"Don't encourage crazy tits" Levi grumbled tolling his eyes.

"Not yet I was actually doing something for shorty, you see he wants to take yo-" Hange got cut off by 'shorty' himself.

"Shut it Hange!" Levi growled "(Y/N) do you mind giving us a moment, come by my office later for paperwork."

You nodded a confused smile on your face as you turned and left them to go back to training with your friends, your eyes glancing over to the two every now and then, trying to figure out what they were talking about.

*Time Skip*

It was the end of the month when it happened, Levi asked you on a date. It turns out that what Hange and Levi wanted to talk about that day, was the setting up for the dinner date Levi asked you on. It was by the beautiful lake just the other side of the ODM forest. It was beautifully romantic and the perfect first date between the two of you, your heart jumped just thinking about it, and love for the man filled your soul.

6th Month:

The sixth month was the month in the scouts when your new life all came together. You no longer accepted death and instead would fight for your life and for your friends, you had Levi to thank for that. Speaking of Levi you and him were now officially a couple, much to Hange's excitement, you went on another date after your moon lit dinner and after that he finally asked you out.

You were extremely happy with him and him now as your lover fully completed your new start at life, people would often ask you if you regretted joining the scouts, but you would always tell them "No" If you didn't join the scouts you'd still be wandering around in your lonely haze with no family, and most importantly you wouldn't have the love of your life by your side:

Levi Ackerman.
