Levi x Reader: In Your Eyes

"Ari.." you muttered as you stared at your now ruined house. The giant boulder had crushed the house completely, leaving no soul behind.

The incoherent screams of the villagers pierced through your ears like shards of glass. Eyes wide with horror, mouth agape, your adrenaline started surging through your veins making your heart pound. At this rate, your heart was bound to escape through your ribcage. Tears started cascading down your chalky face profusely.

"ARI!" You yelled again for your sister and dashed towards the debris.

'Where are you? Where are you? WHERE ARE YOU?' you thought to yourself when you heard thundering footsteps coming straight towards you. You froze on the spot with fear and turned your head slowly.

"T-titan." you stuttered.

All of a sudden, you felt something soft hit you. You opened your eyes and discovered Sasha frowning as she placed her hands on the hips.

"Sorry (y/n)! I couldn't wake you up so I had to throw this pillow at you." Sasha apologized.

You groaned from the tapping sunlight against your face. The last remnants of nightmare were chased away by the realisition that you were awake again. You tiredly rubbed both of your eyes and sat at the edge of the bed.

"Wh-what time is it?" You asked still half-asleep.

"7.50am!!!WE HAVE HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT AT 8, REMEMBER?!" She shouted.

Even though you were already in the Scout Regiment, you had to practised hand-to-hand combat for your own safety.

Your eyes widened immediately. Today's training completely went over your head.

"SHIT!" you screamed and rushed to the bathroom with your towel.

After showering, you wrung your wet (h/c) hair and dried yourself. You donned your Scout Regiment uniform and let out a slight smile.

'I can't believe I've gone through this far. I can't believe I've made it into the Scout Regiment.'

By the time you went out of the bathroom, it was already 8.03 am. You cursed and proceeded to the training area for your training. As soon as you reached there, you saluted the squad leaders and apologised for your delay.

"I didn't know your ass was that heavy for you to get up" he taunted.

You rolled your eyes in annoyance and went to your position to get ready for the combat. Lucky for you, Eren was your partner. Seeing him made you feel at ease. You've known him ever since your trainee days as well as Mikasa & Armin. Although you were close to Mikasa, she gets angry sometimes whenever you come too close to Eren. However, Mikasa was a really nice person in general and you understood why she was so protective of him.

"Eren, Here!" You called out for him as you threw the wooden dagger. He caught it and stood in his position ready to attack.

"You know what to do right?" He asked. You only nodded in reply.

"Good. Here I come!" He sprinted and lunged the dagger towards you but swiftly, you dodged in time. You smote the opponent's leg with an almighty kick that rendered him immobilized. However, the impact was too powerful that he lost all balance and fell forward. His face grazed against the rough surface.

The thought of seeing Mikasa's furious face made you recite a little prayer in hopes of her not beating you up. You lifted him by his arm and he got on to his feet. What horrified you the most was seeing the red gashes along his nose and upper lips.

"OHMYGOD! I AM SO SORRY! Are you okay?!"

"Yeah. Hah. Good one, (y/n)! I can't believe I got defeated by a girl. You're... strong!" He praised.

You chuckled and replied, "I'm not strong, you're just too weak." You stuck your tongue out. He only rolled his eyes in annoyance but smiled afterward.

"Alright your turn to att-" before he could finish his sentence, a guy interrupted the conversation and faced you.

"I want to fight you." He confronted. He had blue hair and his bangs were combed over to one side. He was muscular and taller than you. But the most prominent feature was his eyes. Those cold blue eyes emitted a sinister vibe that could literally pierce anyone.

"M-me? Uh, o-kay then." you stammered.

You got in your fighting posture while holding the wooden dagger. He nodded his head signifying that he was ready. You started off by kicking him in the face but before your feet could make contact, he caught it and twisted it. The pain sent your adrenaline pumping through your veins and this made you swiftly kick him with your other free leg. Unconsciously, he released it and roared in pain. Taking this opportunity, you swung around and roundhouse kicked him in the gut. He sputtered out a loud curse before crumpling to the ground in agony.

"YOU BITCHHH!"

You were about to lunge the wooden dagger when he punched you right in the face causing you to fall on your back. Before you could even stand up, he stepped on your ribs and reached out for your neck. With all the strength he could muster, he wrapped his hand around your neck and scrunched it till the veins protruded from his hand. He lifted you up high by your neck as your legs dangled helplessly. You tried different ways to make him let go of you. Scratching him, kicking and punching the air was futile especially with that strength of his.

Instantly, he threw you aside which sent you rolling down against the rugged floor. It only came to an end when your head slammed against a large rock. Warm liquid soaked through your hair and before you knew it, the hand that fiddled it's way through were tainted in deep red blood. Suddenly, your vision became disoriented and blurry. After getting back to your feet, everything started tilting and even your body started leaning to one side. At first, you were staggering but as if the lens of a camera had sharpened its focus, you could finally see everything vividly again.

With determination in your eyes, you sprinted straight towards him but unfortunately, every ounce of your energy vanished when he started lifting you up and slamming you against the solid hard ground. You couldn't move a muscle. It felt as if all of your bones had been destroyed.

"WHOA WHOA! DUDE, STOP IT. THAT'S TOO MUCH!" Eren approached the guy but he got punched in the face as well.

The blue-haired guy stretched his lips into a wide grin as he head over to your motionless body.

"I want you dead....now." Before he could make another move, a certain person kicked him right in the legs, making him fall backward.

His body slammed hard onto the ground. Before he could get up, the certain person stepped on his chest, disabling him from making a move.

"Levi-heichou?" You puzzled. The impact had caused your vision to be blurry and your head to ache. The pain throbbed and pulsed in your skull. Darkness started to cloud your eyes slowly and then everything went pitch black.

When you finally woke up, you realised you were in the infirmary. You rubbed your head when all of a sudden, a voice appeared.

"You're too reckless." You looked over to the direction where the voice came from and it was Levi. He was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, his grey eyes locked onto yours.

"Charging at him without even thinking. Tch. Do you even realise the difference between your strength and his? Your not even half his standard. Especially in hand-to-hand combat."

Your eyes widened upon hearing his harsh words. Even though you tried to push that negative thought away, it kept resurfacing in your head, pulling down your confidence. Honestly, you wanted to tear up by his remark. But you knew you would only be seen as a weak person.

"However, y/n, you endured well." he continued.

" H-huh? What do you expect me to do then? Cry?" you replied in annoyance.

From the first day, a bad image of him had been implanted in your head. Especially when he turned down someone's confession, coldly. He was mean, heartless, arrogant and every other bad synonym anyone could ever think of. And here you were wondering why girls would even like him. You shrugged upon the thought of the fangirls that constantly wrote love letters to him.

"Yeah," he said monotonously.

"WHAT? I'm not that kind of person who'd give up, alright" you clenched your fist.

"Tch. But I'm surprised that you could at least beat him up. The other rookies couldn't even lay a finger on him." he looked away and walked towards the door. Before he could turn the doorknob he called your name.

"(y/n),, get well soon."

He exited the room instantly, leaving you shock and speechless. You weren't expecting that. Not at all!
