Levi x Reader (ONE-SHOTS)

Levi X !Enemies to Lovers! Reader (Genderfluid)

Before you have the words to get out, or even a breath, Captain Levi notices your wrist swelling. "When did you do that? Were you meaning to hide an injury for the remainder of this expedition?" His voice is surprisingly calm but there's no mistaking the irritation laced behind it. Slowly shaking your head as you lift it back up, your eyes barely glaze over his uniform, too afraid to make contact with his pissed off face. "N-No..." You pant, unable to get more out as he cuts you off again. "Do you realize how stupid you are, Y/n? To not only put yourself at risk but others?" His tone rises a bit, startling you. "Sir, I-" "You can't even defend anyone!" He barks, cornering you into a tree. He seems to have grown much angrier compared to merely seconds ago. You're afraid to push more buttons.

Feeling small for only a moment, you spontaneously build up the courage to stand up for yourself. "Just shut up!" Your chest heaves, mind hesitating to comprehend what you have done. Attempting to hide your own shock, Captain Levi does nothing but ball his fists on either of his sides, sharp eyes never shifting off your form.

"I don't want to die, Captain... I really don't." You whisper in a submissive tone after his silence starts to eat you alive. "I'm sorry I'm so stupid but I'm still new to this. I know I'm no help being your first cadet, especially after you lost your friends. So neither of us are good at this. Just... Can we just start over?" You almost beg, sick and tired of the constant bickering, even if he is severely annoying. You would rather shove your differences aside to make it back home in one piece.

"So, please, let's work together to get out of this mess before chewing my head off? You have full reins when we get back to Headquarters, sir." You continue to wait for a response, deciding to finally meet his intense gray gaze. Parting his lips, expression still hard, you anticipate his reply. "I don't need you telling me how to do my job, horse shit. If you want to make it back, then you-" A tremor and distant "neigh" alerts the both of you. Eyes widening, you scramble to shove the Captain out of the way, whistling for the horse with your good hand.

Immediately, the horse emerges from the fog, revealing him/herself as your very own stallion/mare, (horse name). You don't even hesitate to swing yourself back onto the saddle, looking down at your Captain after. "Are you coming?" You ask, afraid he'll decline. "Meet up with another group, I still have Titans to take care of." The man's hand controls hover over his swords.

Before he has the chance to take off, you stop him with your words. "You have to come! We can't lose you out here, its too dangerous." You do your best to stay calm, even if its challenging. He may be stubborn but you won't leave until he's on your horse as well. "If you want to live, I suggest you leave now." The Captain shakes his head in protest.

Another tremor shakes the ground, much stronger this time, indicating the Titan approaching. Without thinking, you lead (horse's name) closer to Captain Levi to reach down and tug at his cape, ignoring the burn in your wrist. "Let go, idiot!" He struggles to talk, the cape tightening around his neck from you pulling on it. "Not until you get on!" You grunt, successfully pulling him over, even with a sprained wrist. Giving up, Captain Levi puts away his hand controls to climb in front of you, whipping the reins the second his leg swings over.

Almost falling off the back of the horse, you swiftly grab his shoulders, careful with your left hand, then peer over to see what lies ahead. Still difficult to see past arm's length, you trust the Captain's sense of direction, avoiding any obstacles in the way.

With some sort of miracle, you hear the sound of multiple hooves stomping on the ground ahead, realizing its Section Commander Hange's squad. "Levi, we found them!" You gasp, pointing in the direction of the sound. Immediate relief washes over you, able to relax as you near closer to your Regiment. "Actually, I did, stupid." Captain Levi remarks. "And its "Captain," to you. Don't forget I'm still a superior even if I was a little vulnerable back there." He quietly adds, keeping you in line. Softly chuckling, you shake your head as you finally meet up with Section Commander Hange's squad. "Hey, we're supposed to be starting over, remember, sir?" You tease for only him to hear against the continuous rain.

"Hey! There you are, we've sent troops looking for you!" The Section Commander exclaims when Levi rides up beside them. They're even more surprised when they notice you sitting behind Captain Levi, already aware of your sour relationship. Just as they part their lips to ask, you stop them. "Its a long story." You sigh.
