Until the End || Levi x Reader Insert Fanfiction

Ch 28- Forever and Always

You are about to voice a retort once again, if this were to happen Historia would be dealt such a short life and only be made to birth children for the most of it. If you could save her from that fate, you would do anything, even take her place. Levi tries discreetly to meet your gaze sharply as though pleading with you to stay silent. Zeke... what were you planning? But you are ultimately unable to say or do anything as Eren rises to his feet. "Historia... After years of getting trampled on, now we've gotta breed like livestock? If that's the price of getting to live, Zeke Jaeger can take his damn plan and shove it!" Eren's face contorts in his anger as the rest of us look at him, some in surprise, some silently praying he would just sit back down. "It's too dangerous to gamble on having the rumbling. We need to spend our time exploring what other options are available to us."

That was the end of the meeting, to say the least. Kiyomizu was of course deterred by the emerald-eyed man, though he helped to prevent an imminent fate for Historia. However, in the aftermath Eren had continued to spill words in his irritation that made you see that he would likely not ever use Historia, or even you. It made you think back to your abduction. Zeke shouldn't have feared Eren finding out about your heritage or the blood that flowed through you. Not when he seemed so adamant on not "using" his allies. He seemed more distant these days, as though his eyes were locked on another goal none of us could see.

[Several Months Later]

You were atop [h/n] galloping into the empty fields that surrounded you. You remember the joy you had felt when you saw her again. Levi told you he had put it upon himself to look after her along with his horse, but she had seemed to be in a state of constant depression, barely letting anyone but him brush her or take her out of the stables. In the instant she saw you she had stood on her hooves almost trampling you over. You had to steady and calm her down before holding her into an embrace. She had missed you and you had missed her. You let out a breathless laugh as you observe the clear landscape before you. You were within Wall Maria, gifted with a rare day off and so you took the opportunity to take [h/n] out for a ride among the forests within the walls. You felt a sense of freedom in the open grasslands looking to the sky and patting your horse gently as she turned and neighed happily.

You suddenly hear the gallop of a horse approaching as you turn and smile at a familiar sight. It was Levi, atop his black stallion and approaching you. He was in his casual clothes, a loose long-sleeve shirt and a pair of dark pants. You couldn't help but admire him, even from a distance. "Took you long enough, Levi, I thought you weren't coming," you tease as you turn fully to face him as he slows approaching you. He is about to retort but takes a moment to gaze at your figure. You were in casual clothes as well, clad in flowy pants and a tight-fitted top, a flower pinned on your ear against your [h/c] hair. You watch as he stays silent before letting out a little laugh and waving a free hand in front of his face. "Earth to Levi?" you say, still in a teasing tone, as he finally breaks free of whatever trance he is in.

He looks at your smile and he can't help the soft look from brimming in his eyes as he meets yours, before he turns his horse in the direction of a nearby forest. "Come on, I want to show you something," he says as you raise your eyebrows curiously, Levi not really being one to be spontaneous. You follow him quietly before pulling [h/n] to his side, the both of you leading your horses upon the trail. "What's this, a surprise?" you ask, a smile evident in your voice. "Tch," Levi hides his face as he looks to the side, "just shut up and follow." You let out a laugh rolling your eyes as the both of you continue, silently admiring the beauty of the tranquil trees, and embracing the fleeting but serene feeling of peace.

Your voices mingle as birds chirp up ahead talking and laughing about the events of the day and the antics of the squad. You purposely left out darker more worrisome topics for another day; just pretending everything was normal for once. And Levi imagined it, that it was a normal day and the two of you lived normal lives, and he was just taking his beautiful partner on a date like a normal couple would, just for the day. He admired the way you were talking rapidly about Sasha, how you both had an eating contest the other day, and despite your speed she had beaten you somehow. You talk about how you had helped Mikasa with her skills with the gun and sparred with her, your speed and her Ackerman strength making it quite the exciting battle; you've grown fond of the young woman.
