AoT: Levi x Reader Intro

Chapter.1. Setting the Scene


It was a cool brisk Febuary morning on the day you wake up in your dorm. You open your eyes and sit up in bed feeling exhausted from a painfully restless night's sleep. Your head feels foggy and you raise a hand to your face to find a bandage covering your right eye. Doing so, your bandaged left forarm twinges painfully. You recall this pain from only a few days ago. For you were out on a month long expedition with your Scouting Team. But as most missions do, they start out hopeful and your team even seemed to have gained the upper hand. But those...monsters....those...Titans. Every single time you've encounter them they beat your teams flat into the ground...or worse. You have survived dozens of missions before. This had become a standard routine for you. Going out into the frontlines, executing the orders you were given and watching your comrades and friends die in unimaginable horror. Luke, Hanah, Tia, Mouze. They gave the legion all they had.

"So what is the point in it? Getting close to people in this line of work." You think to yourself.

You clamber out of bed and stretch out the healthier of your limbs and open your window. Taking a deep breath of the crisp winter air. The warm muzziness in your head seemed to fade as if by magic and you start to feel a little better.

"Don't get depressed. You have to concentrate on the here and the now." The memory of your friends seemed to wisper on the wind.

You splash your face with cold water from the basin to wake yourself up and wash away the night's terrors. You gaze into the mirror before you and grin broadly.

"ALRIGHT!!" you exclaim.

"Time for breakfast!!"

You discover a clean and pristinely pressed new uniform in your wardrobe and get dressed as best as you can without hurting yourself. It was a struggle buttoning your shirt with your one good hand but you managed it somehow. Next came the task of brushing your hair and tieing it up into your favorite style...but that proved too much for your your arm and you had no choice but to leave it down.

"I guess it works. Not like I will be seeing any action for a while anyway." You think to yourself, remembering the words of the doctor who saw to your injuries upon your arrival back. You are under strict orders not to over exurt yourself for a month at the very least to give your arm and eye a chance to heal.

You sigh deeply and realise what that can only mean. Assisting the senior officers with errands and all that boring paper work someone has to do. But due to the shortage of officers in the vacinity at the moment it means non of it gets done. And only the smartest and most responsible soldiers were chosen for this task. You came to the conclusion that it was quite flattering that they chose you. However you would have liked the chance to take some sick leave to go and visit your family...but being the proud responsible soldier that you are, you saw it as your duty to carry out any assignment they issue you with.

All dressed and ready to begin the day. It feels so good to get out of that room after what felt like an etenity. Walking down the corridor you stop in your stride and realise.

"Wait!! What time is it??"

You belt your way down the rest of the corridor, fly down several flights of stairs with the upmost swiftness, narrowly sweeping passed two unexpecting soldiers on the stairwell. And skidded into the cafeteria. Before breaking to a complete stop you spot the clock. It was approximately two minutes to eight in the morning.

"Shit."

Wide eyed and frantic you, you stuff a nearby bread roll into your mouth and continue eating it whilst you run.

"Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap" you muttered.

"HE is going to be so pissed if I turn up late after I volunteered to assist him today."
