Warnings: Death, Descriptions of injury and blood, Canonical Violence

The moon's light hung high in the sky as you and Levi sat on the carriage next to each other. Hange had left with Mikasa, Eren and Armin, along with a group of Scouts for Wall Rose to carry out their mission, but we were headed to Trost. You look up to see Pastor Nick opposite of us. He had nodded off to sleep in an upright position, Levi staring at him with a bored glance. You take the chance to look down at your covered arms, and you flex the wrist that had been bruised by the man in the military police. It had already felt so much better. Levi takes notice of your actions as his sharp eyes follow yours before gently taking your right wrist in his hand. He slowly shuffled your jacket and long-sleeved shirt up along your arm to display a now-fading red mark of a handprint left behind. You see him tense as he lightly holds your hand, seeing a flash of anger radiate through his eyes. Seeing this, you turn your hand over in his light grasp, squeezing his hand in comfort. "It doesn't even hurt anymore, Levi," you mutter, "I probably won't even see it in the morning." He sighs heavily, relenting at your words.

You then see his sharp eyes look up to you from your hand. "What were you going to tell me before we left Stohess?" He asked, and you remember back to your interaction. You had hesitated to ask him of Kenny the Ripper despite his sudden appearance in your dreams; in the flickers, you thought now to be your past. You find yourself hesitating again as you stare into his grey eyes. Was it really fair to bring this up to him now? You had kept the continuation of your dream a secret from him for a few days, knowing if you told him snippets, you would eventually tell him everything. You shake your head, as your eyes shine in conflict, "I won't burden you with my thoughts, Levi." You mutter but sigh inwardly as his face instantly goes dark. "You're no damn burden, don't be stupid." He replies, eyes brimming with curiosity and betrayal at what you kept from him. We usually had no secrets from each other, and you felt a sinking feeling of guilt in your gut.

"Tell me," he says, now with a softer look in his eyes. You sigh deeply, eyes looking down at your hands. "I had another dream," you mutter. You hear a brief silence, "Like the ones you usually do?" Levi asks, knowing as you had told him before, ever since you met, how you had dreamt of the ocean. "No," you shake your head, "no, it was a continuation of that," you tell him how in the dream you had docked with the strange woman, how we had trotted through the expanse of terrain you knew to be the one you saw outside Wall Maria, how we had encountered a Titan. You tell him how the woman had moved quickly, how she had saved you, but died when we had reached Wall Maria. Died, but not after telling you that she was your mother, that you were connected to the [l/n] clan, that the reason we escaped was related to your family name, that you had power he already knew of, and that you had come from a home outside the walls. "But, just before she died, I saw a man Levi." His eyes turned to you before they widened at your words, "It was Kenny, Kenny the Ripper."

You look at him as you see his face contort to one of darkness at the words. "Levi, what could this all mean? Do you think I came from outside the walls? I have strange powers to heal and run faster than I should. What if- what if I come from the same place as the enemy, what-" Levi cuts you off, seeing the frantic and hushed words that fall out of your mouth. "Oi, [y/n] calm down," he mutters, his face still dark even in the light of the moon. Silence envelops us as the mood quickly goes tense along with the haunted look in Levi's eyes. You start to wonder if it was such a good idea having told him at all. "Hey Levi, I'm sorry-", but he cuts you off again, surprising you with his words. "I already told you everything about the piece of shit that raised me," he mutters lowly, "so I don't know why he was there with you." His sharp eyes meet mine, "but I have heard of the [l/n] clan. Cause I overheard his muttering once."

You look up, eyes wide, remembering back to your dream, how Kenny had taken a particular interest in the clan when he overheard the conversation between you and your mother. "He said something about how the Ackermans and the [l/n] clan were once close to the crown before they were persecuted out of fear..." You look at him, willing him to continue, "Why," you ask, "why fear?" Levi looks at you, a dark look in his eyes. "I don't know. He caught me listening in." You sigh as he grits his teeth, looking down. Then, you remembered something you had not told Levi: how Titan blood mingled with the composition of your blood. Could it be that's why we were feared, you wondered, before shaking your head. You look at Levi and smile softly, brushing away the hair that fell on his face as he looks murderously to the ground. "Hey," you say as he stares back at you, "thank you for telling me." His eyes calm before he sighs, muttering something under his breath as comfortable silence washes over us again. You find yourself drifting off as moments pass us by, leaning on Levi's shoulder, who stiffens before you feel him relax and pull you closer to his side.
