Until the End || Levi x Reader Insert Fanfiction

Ch 3- A breath of fresh air

"Everyone shut it," the man spoke up again before singling out a man who stood at the front of the Scouts. "Flagen, they're joining your squad! Look after them!" His eyes are still on you as he stutters, "My- my squad, sir?" The man glares harshly at him, "Is there a problem?" The man in question straightens up before regaining composure, "N-no, sir!" You look to Levi, who still seems like he's irritated by something, but decides to let it go since he always seemed that way. Soon after, the meeting is adjourned you are left to follow Flagen as he walks us through the place where we will be staying.

.....

"This is the barracks." We walk through wooden rooms, bunk beds lining each side of the wall as Flagen walks through with a bored expression on his face, before telling us that the women stay down the hall. "What? I wanna be in here too!" Isabel frowned at Flagen as she realized we would not be staying all together. You give her a gentle smile as you look at her, patting her head; she seems to settle a bit while you look over at Levi, who is examining his new room. You see him dragging his hand along the wooden plank of the beds as dust and dirt cover his fingers, darkness radiating off his expression. Ah, this wasn't good.

"I know you've spent your whole lives in the Underground garbage dump, but make sure to keep this place clean." Flagen stares at Levi's back as his expression only angers more. He looks like he's about to murder someone. You look to Isabel and Furlan, who also notice how deadly the atmosphere's gotten, as Levi steps closer to Flagen, ready to beat his ass to the ground. You sigh inwardly, deciding we probably don't want any more trouble as you step forward quickly, intervening. "Yes, understood... sir. We'll keep it clean," you say quickly as Furlan and Isabel do a quick salute. Flagen turns to the side at your proximity, suddenly stuttering again, before continuing, "Tsk, w-well we've got training tomorrow, got it, don't be late." He then swiftly leaves the room as Levi continues to glare at the spot where he had stood while he cleans his hand with his handkerchief.

You let out another sigh as you turned back to the group, "Levi, don't disobey for no reason!" Furlan whisper-shouts at Levi, who maintains an unbothered look on his face. "Don't tell me you've forgotten the real reason we're here, we don't need more eyes on us than there already are," he continues as Levi looks back to him with a glare on his face. You find yourself agreeing with Furlan. Discreteness was what we needed if we were going to complete this job. "Yeah, I know."

.....

The skies were crystal blue as you looked up, mesmerized by the way the clouds moulded together under the breeze. You look over to Isabel, who seems to have found another animal she chose to look after as she rode and galloped on a horse with a skill that left the other Scouts staring slightly in surprise. You could hear her laughing as they sprinted away a short distance, a wide smile shining with the light of the sun. You grin, glad to see she is enjoying herself as you finish securing the ODM gear around you. "[y/n] do you need any help with that?" You look up only to be met with three young Scouts who look at you in awe. You sigh, so the men up here also want what they can't have, you think to yourself, but give them a passive smile. "Ah, it's alright, I've got it, thanks though," you quickly pass by, leaving them a stuttering mess, as you make your way to Levi, who glares and rolls his eyes at the interaction.

"Oi," your thoughts are interrupted by Flagen who looks to Levi as he unsheathes his swords, "what do you think you're doing, that sword wasn't made to be held that way." You also look at Levi, who holds one of his swords in a backhanded sort of way, unusual, but you merely smile, thinking of the way he would also hold his teacup; he just finds what way works for him. Levi turns away from Flagen, unbothered by him as he continues to berate him, "You want to be the first to die outside the walls?" Levi's expression darkens as his irritated expression breaks through, "Maybe it'll be you who dies first." It was Flagen's turn to look offended now as he glared back at Levi, who still refused to face his way, "it only matters that I split the nape of a Titan's neck, right?" Levi turns to meet Flagen's face with a bored look, "I'll do it my own way."
