"I'll Fight For and Beside You" - A Levi x Reader Fanfic

Prologue

The year was 845. The day started off as any other: hot. Everywhere, the children were running around, trying to catch a glimpse of the Scouts as they returned from the battle with the Titans.

"Those hellish creatures," I had thought to myself.

Each time the Scouts left, less and less of them seemed to return. I had managed to catch a slight glimpse of a dark-haired one, before my line of vision was obstructed.

After everyone had dispersed, I sat on a crate. I had never thought of what I wanted to do after I was an adult, but as I was sitting there, my mind had wandered off into the idea of being a Scout. The thought of fighting the Titans seemed like a possible idea for me. But my mother would never approve, like a lot of parents. They were too afraid to send their children to train to most likely meet their doom.

"Hey!" A voice rang out, disturbing me from my thoughts.

I looked up to see 3 people headed my way. I stood up as they approached.

"We saw the way you were looking at those scouts. Are you planning to become one later on?" They laughed. My face burned with slight embarrassment as they taunted me. "You wouldn't last a day. The Titans would eat you up."

I clenched my jaw. What I do is none of their business.

"Oh, look. The wee little child is getting angry," they laughed. "Why don't you go home and cry to Mommy?"

I had finally had enough. "Fuck off," I muttered.

They stopped laughing. "What did you say?"

"I said, fuck off," I said, louder.

Then, a hand had reached out, and I was on the ground. Without thinking, I kicked my leg up, hard, and kicked the nearest one in the crotch. He doubled over and groaned in pain.

"You....bitch!" The other two boys stepped forward and started kicking me.

Suddenly, the kicking stopped. I looked up and saw Hannes holding the boys by their collars.

"Girl's got guts. She ain't like you. She can fend for herself," he said. I'd advise you to scram before I see to it that you get fed to a Titan. Or worse, get to be in the company of Captain Levi." I felt a rush of gratitude towards him.

He turned to me. "You alright, (F/N)?" I nod. "Alright. Let's get you ho-" he trailed off as he looked at the wall. Something was off.

I looked at the wall just in time to see a large hand grasp the wall. My heart started thumping hard against my chest as a head looked over the wall at us.

Time froze. Everyone was paralyzed with fear. Nobody knew what to do, or how this was possible. Wall Maria, the wall that surrounded our city, was 50 meters high, and this Titan could see above it.

Without warning, a large body crashed through the wall, and everybody ran. Then, it was clear. Wall Maria had fallen. Shiganshina would soon be overruled with Titans.

Before I knew it, my legs had started moving on their own. I was down the street when I saw it.

A big, wide mouthed Titan holding my mother.
