~°•☆~°•☆
You walked around the building, smiling and greeting people who passed by. Even though they were strangers, you couldn't help but be friendly.
You decided to open your phone to tap on your contacts, wanting to text to your boyfriend.

You giggled to yourself, sending the message.
That was until your eyes laid on a boy with familiar brown-haired that you have befriended.
He was with two other people, a black-haired girl and a blonde boy.
You smiled, walking towards Eren.
You tapped on his shoulder making him turn around.
"Eren!" You exclaimed.
The boy smiled widely before greeting you as well. "Y/N! Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Levi brought me over again."
"Just please tell me you guys are dating!" He clapsed his hands together.
You giggled playfully punching him on the shoulder making him laugh.
"Oh shut it you doofus."
"Eren? Who's this?" The blonde boy asked.
The both of your attention turned to the boy.
"Ah, this is my friend. Y/N, introduce yourself." He gestured to you.
"I'm Y/N L/N. It's nice to meet the both of you." You smiled, bowing to them.
"Armin Arlert." He smiled, brightly bowing as well, politely.
He held an innocent demeanor as if the actual sun was radiating from him. He has blue eyes reminding you of the vast ocean.
"Mikasa Ackerman." The black-haired girl introduced shaking your hand.
She was a beautiful woman with jet black hair that reminded you of Levi's. Her skin was milky white while her lips were a fine glossy pink color.
"You're an 'Ackerman'?"
"Yes I am. But truthfully, I have never known Mr. Ackerman in all my life. I believe that I am a long distant relative of his since Mr. Ackerman doesn't know me as well." She explained.
"Oh! I-I'm sorry.." You awkwardly apologized, sweatdropping.
"Don't fret, a lot have asked me the same." She showed a small smile.
You returned the smile as well.
"U-uh... I a-apologize in advance if this may a-affect you in anything b-but... are you and Levi dating?" Armin asked.
You blushed. And fortunately, you were lucky to have been saved by a voice calling out the three.
"Eren! Armin! Mikasa!"
You all turned around to see a boy with his hair slightly bald and a girl whose brown hair is tied into a ponytail, she reminded you of Hanji, but younger.
That was when the brown-haired girl dramatically gasped.
"That's the girl who was assaulted by the-"
The boy who was with her flicked her forehead, interrupting her.
She glared at him before her eyes widened in twinkles at you, "Oh wait! You're the one who Mr. Ackerman took darastic measures on Valentines for-"
Eren cut the girl off, hitting her head. "Watch your words Sasha." He furrowed his eyebrows.
"OI!! YOU GUYS DIDN'T NEED TO HIT ME!"
The girl was about to launch at Eren when Mikasa glared at the girl harshly making her shut up and stay put, crossing her arms huffing.
Your sweat dropped by the scene.
"I'm so sorry about them Y/N. We're usually like this." Armin scratched the back of his neck.
It amused you to know that the boy willingly involved himself in the mess his friends made when in reality, he was innocent.
You giggled ruffling his hair saying that it was alright.
"Ah, my name is Connie Springer by the way." The boy bowed, introducing himself.
"And I'm Sasha Blouse." The brown-haired girl grinned friendly.
"Y/N L/N. Glad to meet you two." You smiled in return.
"If you have time, do you want to go and see our office?" Eren suggested.
You looked at the time from your phone to see that you still had time before lunch. "Sure!"
-
At the office, you met Historia again and her girlfriend Ymir.
There was also the trio, Reiner, Bertolt and Annie.
Annie looked like a tough cookie to crack but she was beautiful as well like Mikasa who has bright blonde hair with gorgeous features.
Bertolt was charming in his own way. From his smile to his personality.
(A/N: Even tho he may be the enemy he still seems nice to me. And tbh, if he wasn't bad or a titan shifter, I'd see him as the only sane person in AOT)
Reiner... he was strange and he always look serious and his expression is almost unpredictable. But either way you couldn't just judge a person by first impression and looks, because look where that got you with Levi.
However, what kept bothering you was that Reiner kept staring at you.
And when you do look at him back, he wouldn't blink, flinch nor look away. He'd just stare at you much focused. And it creeped you out.
Because of that, you decided to excuse yourself for a moment to the restroom.
On your way there, your mind couldn't help but wander off when Reiner introduced himself to you.
---
Flashback when
Reiner introduced himself
---
"Ah! Y/N, this is Reiner. Reiner, this is Y/N." Bertolt motioned to a tall and well-built blonde man.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Reiner." You gently said.
"A pleasure it truly is.." He croaked.
You rose a brow upwards.
That was when Annie joined in, sighing. "Don't mind him Y/N. He's always like that." She glared at the man.
You nodded, awkwardly, brushing it off.
Reiner looked back at you. "Continue on Y/N. Stay safe."
---
End of Flashback
---
Arriving, you saw two other girls inside chatting.
You washed your hands, accidently eavesdropping their conversation.
"Hey, I heard that Mr. Ackerman finally added the request for sanitary care in restrooms because he's dating someone." The girl said.
You tensed when she mentioned dating.
"He even made sure to put these sanitaries as soon as possible, today! I mean, who could blame him? Love can totally make you do crazy things.
"It's a miracle to know that he can even fall in love. Remember that time on Valentines? I forgot what the girl looked like!!" She whined.
"Yeah, I forgot as well since there were so many people." She huffed. "Do you think their dating? They say she was pretty and cute."
"Rumor says Mr. Ackerman and the girl are super close~"
While they kept chatting, you continued to blush red, your mind fuzzy and all around the place.
You weren't thinking straight so it took you a while to snap back to reality when one of the girls called you.
"Miss? Are you alright?"
That was when you noticed the faucet continued to flow.
You bloomed red even more in embarassment before turning it off and then apologizing to them before drying them and leave.
You mentally slapped yourself in the face for being such an idiot.
That was when your eyes laid unto Bertolt who was out, standing. As if waiting for someone.
He turned his attention to you before walking towards you, smiling.
"Hey Y/N!"
"Bertolt, what's up?"
"Mr. Ackerman sent me to fetch you. He wanted to meet you before lunch." He smiled warmly.
You nodded. "I see, where is he?"
"It's a secret." He winked, laughing. "Just follow me."
You chuckled, agreeing before following him.
He motioned you towards an alleyway.
That was when you dawned to yourself how off it seemed.
Because as soon as the both of you reached the end of the alleyway, a pair of familiar eyes were found at the corner.
Lurking away from the shadow was Reiner.
You tensed. Your breathing went uneven and your palms began to sweat.
"Wh-what..?" You turned to look at Bertolt, bewildered.
"Bertolt?" You stammered faintly and nervously.
"Sorry Y/N.." He turned around looking at you with an unreadable look.
Even as you take a step backwards you were halted by another body.
You turned around to see Annie.
"Y-you too?"
She gave you a dead and cold stare before looking back to the others.
"Annie, done hacking the cameras?"
"Yes. It won't last long, it'll be back after 30 minutes so we have to hurry."
You yelped in distress when both of your wrists are yanked behind you by Bertold.
"Let me go!"
And before you knew it, Reiner pressed a cloth to your nose and mouth making your mind go dizzy.
The last thing you heard, was from Reiner, snickering...
"Didn't I warn you to stay safe princess?"
-
Levi's fingers continued to tap on his keyboard.
He groaned, stretching before letting out a deep breath.
He brought out his phone to see the text you sent.
The man smiled to himself widely knowing that he was alone in his room, meaning that there was no one to see him grinning.
His heart raced thinking of you again. Wondering what you were up to.
That was when a knock was heard on the door.
"Come in."
He clears his throat, composing himself making him return to his stern look, keeping his phone away not able to text you back.
The door opened to reveal Gunther. "Sir, the board have arrived in a rather early circumstance."
"Is there a problem?"
"Fortunately, there are none. They have just made a mistake reading the time."
"Good. I will be there to accompany them until the meeting." Levi stood up, walking towards Gunther.
"How about lunch?"
"This isn't the first time I properly ate meals. I'll be fine." Levi said leaving his office making Gunther follow closing the door.
"What about Y/N?"
Levi stopped, pausing to think before his eyes laid upon Olou, who was coincidentally passing by.
"Olou. Come here."
The man walked towards Levi, greeting him and bowing.
"Go tell Eld that he has been given the responsibility to look after Y/N. Tell him that she will be at the cafeteria by 12, and if she isn't, she may be at my office. Make sure that Y/N eats with someone else like Historia or someone."
Olou nodded, before walking away.
Levi then turned to Gunther, sighing sadly, looking down.
"She... She'll understand.. I'll apologize to her after. I know Y/N." He clenched his fists before looking up.
Gunther smiled.
-
Slowly, your eyes tiredly open to see yourself laying on a cold and hard floor of a dark room where the only source of light was from up above you.
Both your wrists and ankles were bound together tightly with a rope.
While a cloth has wrapped around your mouth, preventing you to speak.
That was when your eyes shot open in realization.
You quickly used your hands as support to sit up feeling yourself begin to panic.
"She's awake. Go and tell the boss." A female sound rang through your ears.
Your head shot up to see Annie and Bertolt who were slightly illuminated by the little light.
Bertolt then left the room leaving you and Annie alone who was leaning on the wall with her eyes closed.
Negative thoughts began to cloud your mind thinking of the endless possibilities why you were kidnapped.
Minutes passed and soon enough, the door opened to reveal Bertolt and Reiner with another man who looked unfamiliar but old.
Your breathing went more haggard looking at the man with a terrified look.
The door closed as the three went in.
The man smiled at you.
"You must be Y/N. I'm sorry for kidnapping you by the way. But it must be done you know?"
You rose a brow upwards desperately wanting to say something but you couldn't however.
"Perhaps you may be wondering why we kidnapped you.. You see Y/N, you're valuable to Levi.. or are you?" He intently stared at you.
By the mention of your lover's name, your fists clenched, worried.
That was when your captor smirked.
"So you are... The rumors were true after all.. Then I suppose my people's idendity and hardwork won't go in vain." He smiles evilly.
You furrowed your eyebrows looking at him scared.
"Oh dear... You must be blaming us four for this. But to be frank, that Ackerman is the center of all of this." He hissed by Levi's last name, glaring.
You frowned, wanting to hear what he has to say.
"He stole everything from me." He clenched his fists. Anger and frustration was seen in his eyes.
"My company, my wife, my past, my identity!"
(A/N: Annie is Zeke's daughter rayt? I'm not sureee : < )
You furrowed your eyes even more, shocked by his reason.
"Those meant everything to me and it was mere nothing in his eyes! Just because he's famous, just because he's rich, just because he's strong?! That he could easily take them away from me?" The man's eyes went watery.
Your face dropped to sadness for the stranger. You were taken a back by what he said.
Surely Levi had an explanation, so you didn't want to jump to conclusions.
That was when the man huffed, glaring intesely on your frame.
"And then you came... a frail lady as his weakness. You were an easy bait, Y/N." He smirked making you give him a look.
"Because of that, I want you to be ready.. ready to meet your death." He smiles.
Your eyes widened letting out a muffled scream trying to stand up but failed.
He chuckled by your state, amused.
"Don't worry though! I'll make sure Levi would see you die in front of his eyes, so you'll see him before you go to your after life, eiy?" He smirks.
Wet tears began to stream on your cheek, your body shaking tremendously, terrified for what fate has in store for you.
"Bertolt, go back to the company, you know what to do. Annie, Reiner, take her to the room. And untie her, the least we could do is give the poor girl her last bitter taste of freedom." The man ordered.
