Cheater! Levi x Reader Modern AU |The Seasons|

Spring

It had started with a test and a phone call.

The air was warm and humid, soft buds of flowers began to grow. You had dressed in a floral pink dress as you waited for your beloved to join you outside. He never came.

He had told you he was called back to work, not that you minded. You continued to bask in the youth of the season, even when you heard his car drive away. The gentle colors, the newfound hope of spring had engulfed you. You were genuinely happy.

Summer

It began with a headband and perfume.

The summer was gentle. The birds hummed a mild melody, the insects sang a low tune. The loud waves of the ocean did not drown out the quiet serenity you had loved so much, but simply combined.

But, the salty scent the water offered did not mix with his. 

His scent was too sweet and unfamiliar to blend with the natural sea. 

What a shame for something so beautiful and pure to be corrupted by something so synthetic. 

Fall

It begun with a needle and clocks.

The brisk, autumn air had consumed the Earth, smells of cinnamon and pumpkin filling your lungs. Warm cider had heated your core as you sat in silence. It was dark, but you could still hear the leaves rustling in the gentle autumn wind.  By the time he came home, the red numbers on the clock had read 3:00 AM.

No matter.

The leaves were falling slowly, but you knew, by next year they would be reborn again. 

By the time he came home, the red numbers on the clock had read 3:00 AM.

Winter

It ended with a goodbye and remorse.

Light powder blanketed the ground as it continued to fall from above. You remembered the time when you would play in the white snow, you remember spending Christmas with him, you remember everything with him. 

Now we’re here.

Warm air fills your chest as you breath shallow breathes in and out. Quiet beeping can be heard signifying your heartbeat. 

He’s also next to you, grasping your frail hand in his own.

Your minutes were ticking away, but it didn’t scare you. You only focused on the soft falling snow outside. You knew that the trees wouldn’t be barren in time for the silent snow would soon melt and bring back the hope and life of spring. You knew this momentary nothingness would bring new hope in time. 

Your last moment had come. 

Turning to your husband, you smile and whisper out your final words.

“I forgive you, Levi”.

A soft breath escapes your lips as you wander off into darkness forever.

Levi holds your hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.

It wasn’t fair- he had hurt you in the worst way possible, and you had remained by his side until the end. 

But, he knew that your last moments were not filled with grief, but with a hope for better times. 

He knew you were happy, and that hurt him deeper. You deserved nothing but the best, and you got him, but hell, you loved him deeply. He had taken you for granted, and now you weren’t here for him anymore.

He deserved it, he knew he deserved this pain of losing you.  

And you, you suffered all four seasons and lost your fight to cancer, and yet, you were happy. 

Author’s Note: So I know this story is vague, so I’m here to clear some stuff up.

Yes, the reader has cancer and was diagnosed in Spring (the test). Meanwhile, Levi begins to cheat as well. Basically, the two items listed before each season represent this. So the reader gets sicker and sicker as Levi cheats more and more, but he doesn’t know until Winter. Sorry it’s confusing, but I hope you liked it anyway!

Erwin x Reader |Unspoken Love|

“I don’t love you, I’m sorry”.

Those few words, those six small words, left a deep gash inside your chest.

It suddenly hurt to breathe, it hurt to live.

You loved him more than you loved yourself. And he didn’t love you back.

~Earlier that day~

“You know, you should just do it y/n. The worst he can say is no; he’s not going to bite your head off because he’s not Levi”, Hanji reassures you, awkwardly patting your back.

Since Hanji had discovered your certain feelings directed to the commander himself, she had pushed you to confess.

“I don’t know, Hanji...”, you mumble out, chewing on your finger nails. 

Hanji slumped over the table you two were sitting at loudly. “But y/nnnnnn I want little Erwins running around!”, she groans loudly, making you slap a hand over her mouth.

“Hanji!”, you whisper-yell as you try to conceal your red cheeks. She only giggles loudly, making you cover your eyes in embarrassment. Deciding there was no easy way out of this, you give in. 

“Fine, I’ll do it, just please stop”, you sigh out defeated. Hanji’s eyes brighten instantly as she grabs your wrist. “Where are we going?”, you manage out as she drags you out of the mess hall.

“To Erwin’s office of course!”, she gleams excitedly. 

Fantastic. 

Sooner than you would have liked, you’re standing in front of the familiar door. You and Erwin were pretty close because you had been placed in his squad soon after you joined the Survey Corps. You also agreed to help him with his paperwork because he was always so busy.

Swallowing a lump in your throat, you raise your hand to gently rap on the wooden door. 

“Erwin?”, you try to say, but your voice ends up cracking. 

His deep voice answers you immediately. “Come in, y/n”.

You slowly push the door open and close it behind you. Erwin is sitting at his desk, mountains of paperwork surrounding him. 

“What do you need y/n?”, he speaks out, slightly stretching. 

You suddenly become very nervous. You can hear the blood pounding in your head, and you can feel your hands starting to shake. 

“I, um- needed to tell you something sir”, you choke out, looking at the floor.

Erwin only raises a single eyebrow. “Is something the matter?”, he asks, concern laced in his tone. 

“No! Um, no, everything’s okay”. No it’s not. 

He seems as if he doesn’t believe you but stays quiet about it. 

“I wanted to let you know that...” “Don’t chicken out now y/n!”, you scream internally. “Its now or never”.

“I love you!”, you blurt out, face burning red from embarrassment soon after. 

Erwin looks shocked. You expected him to confess his love to you and kiss you right then. But he didn’t.

“Y/n, please sit down”. Erwin gestures to the chair nearest you. Shakily, you sit yourself down. He looks conflicted before speaking.

“As you know, we’re in the military”. You shake your head slightly in understanding. “And you know our positions are very different”, he continues while looking at his hands. “I don’t love you, I’m sorry. You’re just a cadet, a friend to me”, he whispers out gently, avoiding your gaze.

Your heart stings madly, as if someone had stabbed you with a knife. Your lungs constrict and you can’t seem to breathe. 

“I understand sir”, you rasp out as you quickly stand up. “I’ll be going now”, you say quietly, as you open the door. 

“Y/n-”. You hear a chair being moved quickly. Before he can get to you, you close the door and run to Hanji’s lab.

Guilt and surprise overtook Hanji when she saw your distraught state. She had never expected for Erwin to reject you, especially the way he did. What a mystery...

~Timeskip, 2 weeks later~

It had been a few weeks since you had spoken to Erwin. You had stopped showing up to assist him with his work, and you purposely ignored and avoided him. You knew it wasn’t his fault he didn’t love you, but still, it hurt you badly. 

Today was an expedition, which meant you’ll have to see him again. You promised yourself you wouldn’t get distracted by it and to stay focused. 

That didn’t happen.

Erwin’s squad, including you, had split up to direct the mob of titans in different directions so Levi’s squad could eliminate them. 

About ten minutes later, the task was done and the squad at joined back together. But, there was no white horse. There was no Erwin. 

Frantically, your eyes scan the area in search of your commander. 

“Erwin!”, you scream out, turning your horse around abruptly.

“Y/n! You can’t turn around, we have to move forward!”, your team-mate says, but you ignore him and move on. It was difficult to see past the blur of trees. Everything looked the same until you say it. 

Erwin’s white stallion.

The poor horse had been traumatized, running past you at a wild speed. And then you say him.

Erwin was captured in an abnormal’s large hand. The beast smiled at him menacingly as it pulled him towards it’s mouth.

You couldn’t let him die. You couldn’t. 

Quickly, you let out a loud cry as you slice into the beasts arm, releasing Erwin. Unfortunately, the titan had caught one of your wires, flinging you into a tree. A sickening crack filled the air as you hit the stump. Your body crumpled to the ground as you cried out in agony. You were going to die. You were going to die. 

A loud groan was heard and the ground shook beneath you, making you cry out in pain. Black spots danced in your vision as pain engulfed your entire being. 

“Y/n!”, a faint voice called out. Soft footsteps were heard. “Y/n, stay with me, stay with me”, a familiar voice pleaded. Your head had been gently moved to something soft. The pain began to become too powerful, and your eyes began to close. “No, please don’t. Please don’t go”. The person was now crying, you could hear. You cough pitifully as the darkness consumes your body.

~-~

You felt cold. Everything was black and you couldn’t see.

Am I dead?

“Please”, you hear a faint voice say.

“Hello?”, you call out, walking towards the voice.

“Please wake up”, the voice says again. Wake up?

Suddenly it all comes back- the expedition, finding Erwin, getting hurt.

“Erwin, I’m okay”, you say back, trying to communicate with him.

“Why would you do that? Why would you sacrifice yourself for me?”, he says, softly, as if he was crying. 

Because I love you.

“I should be suffering, not you”.

“Erwin, don’t say that”, you plead, even though you know he can’t hear you.

“I love you, I love you so much! I’m sorry I couldn’t say it, I’m sorry I was too scared!”

Wait. He loved you?

Immediately, pain hits you hard as you open your eyes. You take deep, ragged breathes in as you cough loudly. 

Warm hands help you sit up gently as you finish coughing. Once your fit stops, you’re immediately engulfed in a tight embrace. 

“I thought I lost you”, Erwin’s deep, soothing voice cracks out. Warm droplets of water stain your shirt as he gently sobs.

“You were dead, I watched you die!”, he cries out softly, almost like a child. 

This was all happening so fast. All built up emotions flooded out as you began to cry too. 

Once you two calm down you bask in gentle silence. “I love you”, Erwin mumbles into your neck. “I love you so much”.

Your eyes widen in surprise. He really loved you? 

“B-but you said you didn’t and-”

“I know what I said”, he cuts you off quickly. Taking a deep sigh in he finally speaks. 

“I was scared. I was so god damn scared of getting too close to you and one of us dying. But when I thought I had lost you, I realized that I couldn’t live without you. I realized its worth the chance. I’m sorry for lying to you, I’m so so sorry”. I love you, I love you”, he says passionately, gazing into your eyes and gently rubbing your cold hands. 

Softly, you rest your smaller forehead against his. 

“I love you too, Erwin”.

Swiftly, he grabs your face with his large hands and kisses you as if he’s been waiting for this moment for a long time. 

Those few words, those simple words had mended your two broken hearts.

Those words had brought meaning into your lives.

Those words would bond you two forever, and even death could not part you.

Levi x Reader |Fly On|

Author’s Note: The song is O by Coldplay. It’s one of my favorite songs and I highly recommend you listen to it while reading this :)

A flock of birds

Hovering above

Just a flock of birds

That’s how you think of love

He loved you with all his heart, he really did.

You were his light, his love, his everything. 

And you’re gone.

And I always 

Look up to the sky

Pray before the dawn

He swore he saw you sometimes. You had told him when someone dies, they become a small star in the dark sky to give light to the world when it was dark. When you told him this, he rolled his eyes and pushed the comment aside.

Now, it’s all he thinks about. 

'Cause they fly always

Sometimes they arrive

Sometimes they are gone

They fly on 

Memories of you were constant; anything he’d do brought back a piece of you. The smell of pine brought back memories of a short trip to the woods. You were so happy to get away, smiling ear to ear. The soft neighing of horses reminded him of your devotion your stallion.

Sometimes, the memories faded as he drowned himself in alcohol in fits of sorrow.

So fly on

Ride through

Maybe one day I’ll fly next to you

He knew you weren’t suffering anymore. The world had been so cruel and unforgiving to you. You were a pure, innocent creature in a corrupt world. 

But, you were the only hope in his life. And you left him behind.

They fly on 

Ride through

Maybe one day I come fly with you

He hoped to be with you soon. He’d thought about cutting his life short to see you again. 

But he didn’t.

He knew how angry and disappointed you’d be in him. So, he stayed in the cruel world for you. He knew his life wouldn’t last long. But, he didn’t care. 

He had nothing to live for anymore.

Soon, he knew, he would see you.

And, he’d be free with you.

Forever.

Fly on.

Fly on.

Fly on.

Thank you! :)

Levi x Reader |Insecure|

Warning: Slight cursing- of course. I mean, it’s Levi.

“You’re doing it again y/n”.

As you look up, your gaze locks with your best friend’s.

“What?”

“You’re playing with your ring again. Is something wrong?” Hanji frowns slightly.

Ah. You look down at the jewelry wrapped around your finger. The beautiful silver reflects the soft candle light, which highlights the small f/c stone in the middle. 

You still remember the day you received it. 

It had been a catastrophic expedition beyond the walls. Your whole squad had been eliminated, and you had been left to die. A large oblique gash rested on your chest, right above your heart. 

You thought it was over, and you accepted your death.

But, he came back for you. He cradled you in his strong arms as he took you back to headquarters. 

He nursed you back to health, slowly but surely. He saved you from your awful nightmares. When you’d wake up from one, he would stroke your hair and hold you close, telling you it would be okay and he was here. 

And, likewise, when he awoke from another gruesome dream, you were there to comfort him with your presence.

He was your safe haven, and you were his.

So, one day, before another expedition, he had placed a small silver ring on your finger. 

“It’s a promise ring, so as long as you have it on, you promise to come back to me no matter what”, he told you, stroking your hands softly.

And you both did every time.

“Yoo hoo, earth to y/n?” Hanji waves her hand in front of you face.

You chuckle. “Oops, yeah. Sorry, I got distracted”.

“Were you daydreaming about Leviiiiiiiiiiiii~”. She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively while nudging your arm.

Your eyes widen. “What?! No…” Of course she’d tease you about him. After all, you had been with him for five years now.

Still, you can’t help let your gaze wander to locate your vertically challenged boyfriend. You can’t help but smile as you focus your attention on him. However, your smile immediately falters when you notice who he’s sitting with.

Petra Ral- the name brought unpleasant shivers down your spine. You couldn’t hate her; she was an absolute sweetheart, but her close connection with Levi throughout the years made you feel, well insecure. Her shining red locks made your h/c hair look dull. Her shocking hazel eyes made your e/c eyes look bland. Her skills were graceful and strong. Yours were mediocre. She was stunning, and well, you were not.

Of course, only you thought this. In fact, in the eyes of Levi and most of the Survey Corps, you were completely opposite. In Levi’s eyes, you were the most gorgeous, perfect human left in the world.  

Hanji follows your gaze and frowns. What was shorty up to?

Suddenly, Levi reaches over and embraces Petra softly. Eyes widening, you drop your spoon into the bowl, making a loud *CLANK* that resonated throughout the entire mess hall. Everyone looked at you with suspicion. Face red from anger, sadness, and embarrassment, you quickly stand up and leave the hall. 

/~/~/

Two days. Two days since you’ve talked to Levi. You begged Mikasa to allow you to room with her for a while, since you shared a bed and room with Levi. You’ve managed to avoid him during the day by staying in Hanji’s lab most of the day, helping her with experiments. She’d try to reassure you about the short corporal, but you’d shake her off. Truth is, your heart had almost literally been broken, for it hurt to breathe sometimes when you thought about it. 

Hanji, being your best friend, couldn’t stand seeing you this freaking sad. So, taking matters into her own hands, she was determined to fix you and Levi. 

“Y/n?” Hanji peeks through her lab door.

You respond with a small “yea?” while looking up at her with sad eyes. She cringes slightly. 

“Corporal Shorty needs to see you”. 

Tears begin to form in your eyes. “No”.

“I’m sorry, y/n, they’re orders” Hanji breathes out, clutching your hand. “It’ll be alright, I promise”.

Wiping away a stray tear, you nod and head towards the dreaded office.

Sighing, you raise your hand to knock on the door. You can hear your heart thumping nervously. Did he even want to see you?

“Name and business”. Your heart flutters at his monotone, deep voice. You hate to admit it, but you missed it.

“Y/n l/n. Hanji told me you needed to see me”. You try to keep your voice steady, but it wavers anyway.

You hear loud shuffling and a chair being knocked over before the door opens to reveal him.

And God, does he look awful. His usually pristine hair is disheveled, and his clothes looked like they were thrown on carelessly. His eyes are bloodshot and has bags under his eyes, like he hasn’t slept the two days you were gone. He looks so god damn broken, it hurts you even more.  

But, you can’t say much either. You barely slept too, sleep deprivation obvious on your face. Your e/c orbs seemed dull and lifeless.

Without a moments hesitation, he scoops you in his arms and buries his face in your neck, closing the door in the process. You stand there frozen. It’s only been two days since you’ve seen him, but God did you miss his touch. 

Soft sobs and a wet sensation on your neck bring you to reality. 

Humanities strongest soldier was crying. 

All the feelings of betrayal, sadness, and anger spilled over, and you began to cry as well. 

Slowly, you both calm down, gently swaying back and forth.

“Don’t ever leave me again”, he rasps out, clutching you tighter.

You remain silent, but silently agree. 

Before you can register what’s happening, Levi’s lips are on yours, his hands desperately clinging to you. 

You can’t help but kiss back, because hell, you’ve missed him too. Gently, he intertwines his fingers with yours. 

Suddenly, you feel a cold metal ring slip on your left ring finger, clanking with your previous ring. Pulling away, you gasp at what you see.

A beautiful gold with little diamonds sits on your finger, right next to your promise ring. 

Before you know it, Levi’s on one knee, looking up at you with his stunning steel eyes.

A rare, but amazing smile is plastered on his face.

“I didn’t think this would happen this way”, he chuckles slightly as he holds your hand. 

“Y/n, before I met you, life didn’t have a meaning anymore. I lost my two best friends and I vowed not to get close to anyone again. But then I met you, and I couldn’t help but fall in love. How could I not? You’re so fucking perfect in every way. I can’t imagine life without you by my side. Will you marry me?”

Tears are streaming down your face as you nod frantically, pulling him so you could place your lips on his again.

Finally, despite living in the cruel world, you and Levi were happy. 

*Bonus Ending!*

“So, why were you with Petra anyways?” you ask as Levi plays with a strand of your hair.

“I needed help proposing to you. I didn’t want shitty-glasses spoiling the surprise”. Levi chuckles as you pout. 

A loud bang makes you both look up. A frantic Armin, Eren, and Jean run inside Levi’s office, each holding a different instrument. They all start to play, but are horribly off and playing quite fast.

“Oi! Brats, what are you doing here?!” Levi scowls, walking over to them.

Eren tries to salute, but ends up stabbing Jean’s eye out with the violin bow. Growling, the two cadets begin to fight. Levi forcefully breaks them apart, yelling out their punishments. 

Curious, you walk over to Armin. 

“So what are you guys doing..?” you ask.

“Squad Leader Petra and Hanji instructed us to play music for the proposal ma’am”, he says, still saluting. 

You hear a soft groan from your fiance.

“Stupid shitty-glasses”.

[attackontitanreaderinserts]

How ironic

[attackontitanreaderinserts]

|Bad Day| Levi x Reader

He was never an affectionate or kind person.

But, it was understandable. His mother had died while he was young, and he never knew his father. His only two friends had died in the hands of the titans.

You, being his girlfriend of five years knew this of course, and didn’t expect bursts of affection and love from him.

But, today, it was hard to deal with that.

The second you woke up, you knew it would be a shitty day. You had woken up an hour late, getting you a stern scolding from your short boyfriend. Because of this as well, you missed breakfast, leaving you hungry and irritable. Then, while cleaning, you had spilled water on the floor, earning you another lecture from Levi. Of course, the worst of all had to come last.

You were simply practicing your 3D Maneuver Gear techniques to cool off, but you didn’t anticipate the tree in your path. You managed to slow down slightly and hook the wires into a large branch, but you were still going far too fast. You flipped around the tree, wires tangled.

So, here you are know, hanging upside down from a branch, wires tangled around you and the branch. Luckily, you weren’t severely hurt, but your pride sure as hell was.

You know some cadets had witnessed the whole thing and would most likely get Erwin or Levi to get you untangled.

Please don’t be Levi, please don’t be-

“Oi brat!”

Well shit.

You lazily roll your eyes to look at the voice. Levi stands with his arms crossed and an irritable expression adorned on his face. Quickly, he gets to the branch you’re wrapped up on and begins to fix the wires.

He doesn’t say anything, which surprises you. Honestly, you were expecting to be screamed at.

Soon, the wires are untangled and he takes you down to the ground with him. Walking past the crowd of cadets that formed, you and Levi make it back to HQ. Feeling embarrassed enough, you try to walk to your bedroom, but Levi harshly seizes your arm.

“My office NOW”. Levi’s tone is stern and for the first time in a while, viscous. You can only look down and follow after him, face burning red from humiliation.

Once you two step inside the familiar room, he closes the door and locks it, making you gulp. What exactly was he going to do?

Levi rigidly stands, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers.

“Y/n, I hope you know how much time you caused me to waste today”, he seethes out, turning to face you.

You look down at your feet and nod slowly, tired and ashamed.

“You wake up late, you make a mess, and you get tangled in a tree. God, honestly I don’t know if you’re even worth my god damn time”. Levi’s usually pale face is slowly turning red and his fists are tight. “I have a lot of fucking work and responsibilities to do, but you always get in the way. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with an idiot like you when I could be doing something better!”, he suddenly screams out, making you flinch away.

Usually, his harsh words didn’t cut you, but today, they did. The sharp words cut like a knife in your fragile figure.

Suddenly, the tears spill over.

Could today get any worse? You had almost gotten severely hurt and your long-term boyfriend openly admitted you were a burden.

You try to hold in the sobs and use your bangs to cover your face, but soft whimpers escape your lips.

Levi suddenly stops seething when he notices the wet droplets on your cheeks.

Out of the five years he had dated you, he’d never seen you cry before. Truth is, you were calloused, just like he was.

But today, you shattered and held-up emotions flooded your system.

“Y-Y/n?”. Levi walks over to your shaking form cautiously, the previous anger replaced by concern.

Suddenly, you can’t take it. You break out into loud sobs, tears flowing down your face like a river. You cover your face and turn away from Levi.

Levi looks at you in shock. His usually strong, tough girlfriend was sobbing in front of him. And it was all his fault.

Carefully, he grabs your shoulder to spin you around. You, being so distraught, allow him to. Softly, Levi embraces you tightly and rubs your back soothingly. “Hey, hey, shh, stop crying. It’s okay, it’s okay, please stop crying”. Levi softly whispers in your ear, using his other hand to hold the back of your head protectively.

After about five minutes, your loud sobs reduce to soft whimpers.

“I-I’m s-sorry Levi”, you choke out, voice raspy from crying.

He pulls away from you slightly so he can see your face.

“Y/n, please don’t apologize. I should be apologizing for being such an ass”.

“Do you s-still l-love me?”, you whisper after a few minutes, wiping some stray tears away.

Levi’s eyes widen in shock before peppering your face with kisses.

“I love you so god damn much y/n. I would be lost without you, and I wouldn’t have a reason to keep fighting. Please, don’t ever doubt my love for you, because it’s eternal. I’m sorry I treat you like shit sometimes, I’m sorry for screaming at you, I’m so so sorry”. His words are soft and genuine, and you know he’s regretful.

“Okay”, you whisper out, holding Levi close as he softly combs through your hair.

BONUS ENDING :)

“Did you hear y/n got caught in a tree? How embarrassing!” A random cadet blabbers to his friends about your incident yesterday.

Before he knows it, a strong fist connects with his nose, knocking him unconscious.

His friend looks up in fear, his eyes meeting with steel blue ones.

“S-Sir!”, he says, giving a sloppy salute.

“If you say any shit about y/n, you’ll end up like your friend here”, Levi warns, gesturing to the boy on the ground.

“Yes sir!”

Levi lets out a short “tch” as he walks away, sitting next to you at the table and softly kisses your cheek.

“Levi, you can’t keep knocking out everyone who talks about yesterday”, you say, gesturing to about thirty soldiers unconscious on the ground.  

Levi just rolls his eyes as he wraps his arm around your waist.

His well-trained ears suddenly hear two new voices gossiping about you outside.

“Shitty brats”, Levi mumbles as he cracks his knuckles and stands up.

Deciding it’s not worth trying to stop him, you simply sit back. You can’t help but smile a bit when you hear a thump and two feet running away.

Sure, Levi had his days, but you still love him to death.

And, he loves you.

Levi x Reader |Je t’aime| Modern AU

Warning: Cursing (duh it’s Levi)

It started with a dream and a promotion.

“Je t’aime”.

Since he uttered the words, you learned of his French heritage and had your sights set on Paris, France.

And, he’d do anything to make your dream come true.

-~-

10:58 pm.

The screen turns black as you place your phone down.

He had promised he’d be home by 6 pm.

I guess not.

It’s been a frequent event now.

Sighing, you stand up from the couch and resign to the plush bed. Closing your eyes, you succumb to slumber.

Soon, you hear the bedroom door open quietly as your dark haired husband walks in. You glance at the clock- 12:01 am.

He quickly changes and lies on the opposite side of the bed. Turning around to face him, you notice that he’s already turned away from you, fast asleep.

Fat, plump tears begin to fall down your face and onto the pillow.

When you were first married, he’d hold you in his arms until your fell asleep. He’d always be sure to be home for a homecooked meal. He’d always tell you how much he loved you.

Now, you began to doubt his love for you.

Maybe, he’s cheating? No, he wouldn’t do that to you. Would he?

Maybe he’s behind at work? You doubt it, he’s always on top of things.

Or, maybe he stopped loving you.

-~-

Levi awoke the next morning tired as hell. Grabbing his phone, he checked for any emails or text messages. But, what really caught his eye was the date. It seemed so familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

Noticing he was late for work, he hurriedly got ready for another stressful day.

-~-

You had slept in that day. You didn’t have to go in for work today, making you very happy to sleep  in.

*buzz*

Groaning, you silence the annoying phone and read the message.

“Happy Birthday y/n! -Marco (Polo)”

You smile, remembering it was actually your special day.

Reading through your messages, you were happy to see that all your friends had texted or left a voicemail wishing you a happy birthday.

But, your heart broke when you noticed the lack of messages from your husband.

*buzz*

You look at your phone with glassy eyes.

“I’ll try to get Levi home early today for the party!-Shitty Glasses”

You can’t help but chuckle at the name. Levi had changed it about a year ago.

Tears fill your eyes again at the bittersweet nostalgia. Shaking it off, you got out of bed to make yourself some breakfast.

-~-

You down another glass of red wine. The party had been going on for about three hours now, and most of your friends had left.

Tears threatened to spill over as your heart clenched. He didn’t come.

You had a fun night with your friends, don’t get me wrong. But, you expected your ten year husband to be there.

You gave him an hour, just in case of traffic or extra work.

In your alcohol induced mind, you waited for an extra 2 hours, just in case he had bothered to come.

“Y/n, you should go home now. I’ll drive you”, Erwin said softly, noticing your depressed expression.

You didn’t put up much of a fight, so you allowed Erwin to drive you home.

When you walked in your house, the lights were on, oddly. Immediately, you were met with steel gray eyes.

“Where the hell were you?”. Levi’s tone was vicious, which didn’t hardly happen.

“I was at the bar waiting for you”, you slur out, stumbling towards the kitchen counter.

“Why the fuck didn’t you let me know?”, he seethes out, face red from anger.

“Maybe because you’re an asshole and didn’t come!”, you yell out, the alcohol making your fuse short.

“Maybe, I was working, unlike you! You didn’t even get your lazy ass out of bed today!”. Levi is screaming now, fists clenched.

“Maybe I didn’t go to work because it was my birthday!”, you cry out, tears spilling over. Pushing past your shocked husband, you run into your bedroom and lock the door.

It suddenly made sense. The date, the weird text he got from Hanji (he thought it was a stupid party she randomly threw).

Guilt settled in the pit of Levi’s stomach.

After his recent promotion, he had worked day and night to save enough money for a month long trip to France. He had worked longer when he saw your approaching birthday, for he wanted to present the idea on that date.

Turns out, he was so absorbed in working, he had forgotten the date.

Today.

~-~

The seeping sunlight made your head pound more. Fluttering open your eyes, you groan from the immense pain you were feeling.

Ah, hangovers were a bitch.

But, the pain of fighting with Levi hurt so much worse.

Looking over at the nightstand, you notice a glass of water and a painkiller. Swallowing the pill gratefully, your eyes glance over a little note.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, words can’t describe how much I love you <3″.

You immediately notice the small hand-writing. Your heart swells at the sweet words.

Swinging your feet over the bed, you slowly stand up. Dark red and pink petals adorn the floor, making a path. Clutching the note in your hand, you follow the small trail to the kitchen, careful not to crush the fragile petals.

Placed on the kitchen table is a warm, hand-made breakfast filled with (your favorite breakfast foods). Next to the plate lies a small envelope with your name written gracefully on the front.

Gently, you tear open the paper. Two identical pieces of paper, plane tickets specifically, remain inside. Inspecting them further, your eyes widen and a soft sob escapes your lips.

Paris, France.

You suddenly feel a warm hand on your shoulder, making you turn around. Your glassy e/c eyes are met with soft, gray ones.

Immediately, you engulf your short husband into a tight hug, tears staining his shirt.  He holds you close, softly rubbing the small of your back.

Once you calm down, he wipes the tears away with the pad of his thumb.

“I love you so much”. Levi uses a soft tone, which is rarely used.

“I love you too”, you murmur out, clutching onto his shirt like a small child.

Levi pecks your nose softly, making you slightly chuckle.

“I’m sorry for being such an asshole last night. And I’m sorry for forgetting your birthday”. He smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck. “I guess I was so focused on your birthday present I forgot your actual birthday”.

You laugh softly while pecking his lips.

“You better not overwork again Mister”, you scold lightly, hugging him again.

Levi only grunts, but deep down you knew he’d keep the promise.

Both of you stood enjoying each other’s presence, which you hadn’t been able to do in forever, visions of Paris in your minds.

Today is the day to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior... Levi Ackerman

[attackontitanreaderinserts]

Levi x Reader |Insecure|

Warning: Slight cursing- of course. I mean, it’s Levi.

“You’re doing it again y/n”.

As you look up, your gaze locks with your best friend’s.

“What?”

“You’re playing with your ring again. Is something wrong?” Hanji frowns slightly.

Ah. You look down at the jewelry wrapped around your finger. The beautiful silver reflects the soft candle light, which highlights the small f/c stone in the middle. 

You still remember the day you received it. 

It had been a catastrophic expedition beyond the walls. Your whole squad had been eliminated, and you had been left to die. A large oblique gash rested on your chest, right above your heart. 

You thought it was over, and you accepted your death.

But, he came back for you. He cradled you in his strong arms as he took you back to headquarters. 

He nursed you back to health, slowly but surely. He saved you from your awful nightmares. When you’d wake up from one, he would stroke your hair and hold you close, telling you it would be okay and he was here. 

And, likewise, when he awoke from another gruesome dream, you were there to comfort him with your presence.

He was your safe haven, and you were his.

So, one day, before another expedition, he had placed a small silver ring on your finger. 

“It’s a promise ring, so as long as you have it on, you promise to come back to me no matter what”, he told you, stroking your hands softly.

And you both did every time.

“Yoo hoo, earth to y/n?” Hanji waves her hand in front of you face.

You chuckle. “Oops, yeah. Sorry, I got distracted”.

“Were you daydreaming about Leviiiiiiiiiiiii~”. She wiggles her eyebrows suggestively while nudging your arm.

Your eyes widen. “What?! No...” Of course she’d tease you about him. After all, you had been with him for five years now.

Still, you can’t help let your gaze wander to locate your vertically challenged boyfriend. You can’t help but smile as you focus your attention on him. However, your smile immediately falters when you notice who he’s sitting with.

Petra Ral- the name brought unpleasant shivers down your spine. You couldn’t hate her; she was an absolute sweetheart, but her close connection with Levi throughout the years made you feel, well insecure. Her shining red locks made your h/c hair look dull. Her shocking hazel eyes made your e/c eyes look bland. Her skills were graceful and strong. Yours were mediocre. She was stunning, and well, you were not.

Of course, only you thought this. In fact, in the eyes of Levi and most of the Survey Corps, you were completely opposite. In Levi’s eyes, you were the most gorgeous, perfect human left in the world.  

Hanji follows your gaze and frowns. What was shorty up to?

Suddenly, Levi reaches over and embraces Petra softly. Eyes widening, you drop your spoon into the bowl, making a loud *CLANK* that resonated throughout the entire mess hall. Everyone looked at you with suspicion. Face red from anger, sadness, and embarrassment, you quickly stand up and leave the hall. 

/~/~/

Two days. Two days since you’ve talked to Levi. You begged Mikasa to allow you to room with her for a while, since you shared a bed and room with Levi. You’ve managed to avoid him during the day by staying in Hanji’s lab most of the day, helping her with experiments. She’d try to reassure you about the short corporal, but you’d shake her off. Truth is, your heart had almost literally been broken, for it hurt to breathe sometimes when you thought about it. 

Hanji, being your best friend, couldn’t stand seeing you this freaking sad. So, taking matters into her own hands, she was determined to fix you and Levi. 

“Y/n?” Hanji peeks through her lab door.

You respond with a small “yea?” while looking up at her with sad eyes. She cringes slightly. 

“Corporal Shorty needs to see you”. 

Tears begin to form in your eyes. “No”.

“I’m sorry, y/n, they’re orders” Hanji breathes out, clutching your hand. “It’ll be alright, I promise”.

Wiping away a stray tear, you nod and head towards the dreaded office.

Sighing, you raise your hand to knock on the door. You can hear your heart thumping nervously. Did he even want to see you?

“Name and business”. Your heart flutters at his monotone, deep voice. You hate to admit it, but you missed it.

“Y/n l/n. Hanji told me you needed to see me”. You try to keep your voice steady, but it wavers anyway.

You hear loud shuffling and a chair being knocked over before the door opens to reveal him.

And God, does he look awful. His usually pristine hair is disheveled, and his clothes looked like they were thrown on carelessly. His eyes are bloodshot and has bags under his eyes, like he hasn’t slept the two days you were gone. He looks so god damn broken, it hurts you even more.  

But, you can’t say much either. You barely slept too, sleep deprivation obvious on your face. Your e/c orbs seemed dull and lifeless.

Without a moments hesitation, he scoops you in his arms and buries his face in your neck, closing the door in the process. You stand there frozen. It’s only been two days since you’ve seen him, but God did you miss his touch. 

Soft sobs and a wet sensation on your neck bring you to reality. 

Humanities strongest soldier was crying. 

All the feelings of betrayal, sadness, and anger spilled over, and you began to cry as well. 

Slowly, you both calm down, gently swaying back and forth.

“Don’t ever leave me again”, he rasps out, clutching you tighter.

You remain silent, but silently agree. 

Before you can register what’s happening, Levi’s lips are on yours, his hands desperately clinging to you. 

You can’t help but kiss back, because hell, you’ve missed him too. Gently, he intertwines his fingers with yours. 

Suddenly, you feel a cold metal ring slip on your left ring finger, clanking with your previous ring. Pulling away, you gasp at what you see.

A beautiful gold with little diamonds sits on your finger, right next to your promise ring. 

Before you know it, Levi’s on one knee, looking up at you with his stunning steel eyes.

A rare, but amazing smile is plastered on his face.

“I didn’t think this would happen this way”, he chuckles slightly as he holds your hand. 

“Y/n, before I met you, life didn’t have a meaning anymore. I lost my two best friends and I vowed not to get close to anyone again. But then I met you, and I couldn’t help but fall in love. How could I not? You’re so fucking perfect in every way. I can’t imagine life without you by my side. Will you marry me?”

Tears are streaming down your face as you nod frantically, pulling him so you could place your lips on his again.

Finally, despite living in the cruel world, you and Levi were happy. 

*Bonus Ending!*

“So, why were you with Petra anyways?” you ask as Levi plays with a strand of your hair.

“I needed help proposing to you. I didn’t want shitty-glasses spoiling the surprise”. Levi chuckles as you pout. 

A loud bang makes you both look up. A frantic Armin, Eren, and Jean run inside Levi’s office, each holding a different instrument. They all start to play, but are horribly off and playing quite fast.

“Oi! Brats, what are you doing here?!” Levi scowls, walking over to them.

Eren tries to salute, but ends up stabbing Jean’s eye out with the violin bow. Growling, the two cadets begin to fight. Levi forcefully breaks them apart, yelling out their punishments. 

Curious, you walk over to Armin. 

“So what are you guys doing..?” you ask.

“Squad Leader Petra and Hanji instructed us to play music for the proposal ma’am”, he says, still saluting. 

You hear a soft groan from your fiance.

“Stupid shitty-glasses”.

I Love You|Cheater!Levi x Reader| AU

Warning: Mentions death and has cursing. 

Author’s Note: Oh dear, I love Levi so much but I just had to do this one. Anyways, on to the story!

“I love you”.

He hadn’t spoken those words forever.

“I’m coming home late”.

He said this at least twice a week.

“I have to go back to work”.

He told you this every Wednesday, like clockwork.

You hadn’t seen it coming. You and him were high school sweethearts and got married when you were 21, him being 25. You remember the vows you had made- the ones promising faithfulness and loyalty. He swore to love you forever. And, you thought he would. 

You saw it recently- he’d keep secrets away from you, he’d hide his phone, he’d talk on the phone when he thought you were asleep. 

It’s not until the day he had forgotten his phone at home when you knew. His phone had buzzed, alerting you of its presence. Figuring it was Levi just calling it to find it, you picked it up and read the message. 

Petra- Are you coming tonight? Could you get away from her?

Eyes widening, you swiftly unlocked the phone and read the previous messages.

Me- Can’t wait to see you tonight ;) Barely escaped y/n though. I love you see you soon.

Tears formed in the corner of your eyes, the phone dropping to the floor. 

I love you. 

Something he’d never tell you.

The pain you felt was unreal. Your heart felt like it was actually torn in two, and it most likely was. 

Running to your car, you tried to open the door, but Levi stopped you.

“Y/n? Why are you crying?” he asked. If you hadn’t known, you would have believed his innocent mask.

You yanked your hand away from him. His touch burned, not like it used to. 

“You fucking know why. How dare you!? How dare you cheat on me?! Am I not enough fro you?” you cry out, tears falling on the concrete. 

Levi stared at you in utter shock. How did you find out?

Opening the door, you slipped inside the car and drove away from your home, your husband, forever.

The tears blurred your vision as you sped through town. Your chest had grown unbearably tight. 

Those were your last memories- the pain, the betrayal, the hurt- before a car struck your side of the car. 

Ring

Ring

Wiping away stray tears, Levi answers the house phone. 

“Hello?”, he croaks out.

“Yes, sir, are you Mr. Ackerman?” a female voice comes through the speaker.

“Yea, why?”

“I’m so sorry, but I called to inform you that your wife, y/n, was killed in a fatal car crash this afternoon. We’re very sorry for your loss”.

The world came crashing down. His heart felt like it had exploded, and his fingers trembled. The phone clattered to the ground as he fell to his knees. How could you, his sunshine, his love, his soulmate be gone from his life forever?

He could barely hear the lady on the phone asking if he was alright as he sobbed violently. 

I love you.

Those three words could have saved you. 

Those three words could have saved him.

But, those three words were never spoken.

“Hi, y/n”.

“I brought you some flowers”.

Levi kneels down to the stone that had “Here lies y/n Ackerman” engraved on it. 

Lightly stroking the stone, tears began to form in his eyes.

“I miss you so god damn much y/n. Please come back”, he chokes out a sob.

“Because I love you”.
