Amnesia [Reader x Levi Ackerman]

Chapter 2: Questions

Should I tell them?  Is it safe? Will they hurt me if I lie and they find out? 

Fears poured in, toppling over each other like moths to a bright and crisp flame. Anxieties pressed heavily onto your chest, squeezing all of the oxygen out from your lungs. 

Just say something already! 

"I um... I do... I do remember..."

Levi raised an eyebrow; he seemed to have already given up on looking disinterested. "Oh? Where was this last night?" 

Hange tried to laugh off the tension. "Levi, come on. Leave her alone."

"It's y/n." You muttered. "My name is y/n." 

Levi's dark eyes flashed dangerously. "Don't lie, girl. What is your real name?"

"What is there to lie about, captain?" Surely even Levi would understand that lying about something this ridiculous wouldn't gain anything for either of them. 

"I..."

Levi stopped abruptly. Everyone was staring at him curiously. 

Amidst the awkward silence, however, other conversations were spontaneously sparked. It was odd, but also a blessing for both you and Levi. 

"...Y/n, could I see you in my office for a moment?" Levi asked. His tone was unnecessarily ominous as he stood up. 

You followed him through the barracks and through various hallways, the loud clacking of boots almost cheering for your imminent demise. You felt as though you were walking to your own execution. 

Whatever God is listening... Please let me live through this encounter....

"What do you want?" You were trying to sound intimidating, but your words came out squeaky and unclear. 

Levi shuffled some papers into a neat pile, placing it on the corner of his desk. "You said that your name was y/n, but we both know that that's jut a pile of bullshit, right?" 

What is wrong with this guy?  "I wasn't lying. What, you think that just because you kept saying 'y/n' in your sleep all night, that I'm faking this? I barely slept last night because of your antics! I don't have the energy to be arguing with you over this."

"I-I... I was not repeating 'y/n' in my sleep last night." 

His protests angered you, but you tried to stay calm. This was not the time to be arguing with a child. 

"Remember when I almost fucking passed out last night? I had recovered a memory of my mother; I just didn't know if it was part of a delusion or something. That's why I didn't want to tell you." 

Levi sighed heavily and looked out the window. "I see. You... You don't have to tell me any more than you already have. I would imagine that you're in some pain, not knowing where your family is." 

You peered questioningly at him. Was Levi being nice?  Was he being understanding? 

"Do you remember anything else? Where you're from, or why you were outside the gates?"

*

"Do you remember anything else? Like where you're from, or why you were outside the gates?" Levi asked. 

Y/n gave him a strange look. "I... I don't think so. I'm not sure." 

Ugh, what an idiot....

"You're absolutely sure that you don't remember anything? Really?" 

By now, Levi was already sure that she wasn't lying; he wasn't new to the scene of interrogation, after all. Leeching the evidence from criminals was a talent of his, but y/n was not a criminal. 

For now. 

She bowed her head apologetically. "If I remember anything, I'll tell you. Though I still do not trust you and your comrades, I do believe that you are acting in my best interest."

Well, at least she was being reasonable.

heyo, it's present naomi, back at it again with a shitty edit. The pacing of this fic is all over the place (sorry lmao) but believe me when I say that I'm trying my best to salvage it. Despite my best efforts, I know it's not going to be perfect, but at least it'll be like.. shiny garbage, right? Also, I hate to admit it, but it's so hard to write about characters that I'm not up to date on lol. I'm trying my best to remember everyone buuuuuuuut ;;;; 

I'm not sure if I'll be able to edit any more chapters this week, just because I have ap exams :// hopefully I can do smth though. 

until then though, please be patient <3 thanks!
