Scenario: Reader-Chan joined the survey corps as a way to leave her past assassin life behind. She becomes a cadet of Levi's and Levi notices something is off. Eventually Reader-Chan opens up to Levi and before they know it, they hit it off. (Reader-Chan is around Levi's age for the oneshot).
Warning: Like two or three curse words
{Levi's Point of View}
(Your full name). She a new cadet of mine who was around my age. In other words, she was a women who I was allowed to stare at all I wanted because I had to face it, she was attractive. But something was off. I noticed it but how paranoid she acted. Someone would ask a question and she would always follow it with 'why.' When someone approached her, I noticed that she always reached for a knife she carried, just in case. She was also a damn good fighter. She was able to stand in hand-to-hand combat against me and that was something nobody could do. She was even flexible which actually came in handle in hand-to-hand combat. On top of everything I've noticed, she rarely slept; instead she always kept an open eye at night. Something was definitely off and I wanted to know why.
~~~
"Alright brats. Today we're doing hand-to-hand combat." Every one groaned knowing they were swore from yesterday's 3dmg practice. "I'm partnering you pieces of shits up myself to challenge you. Eren will go against Mikasa, Jean will go against Sasha, Armin will go against Christa, Connie will go against Ymir, and (your name)..." There was no one to spar against (your name). "Well I guess you'll just have to go against me."
Everyone paired up and as (your name) walked up to me, she rolled up her sleeves and cracked her knuckles. That was something she always did. Crack her knuckles.
We didn't bother getting into any stances. She just came straight at me. That was something I liked about her. She didn't beat around the bush.
As she came to punch me, I dodged and went to kick her feet below. She did a cartwheel to the side to dodge my move and came in with a kick. I grabbed her foot just in time but she jumped up and spun her other foot. It came directly in contact with my face and I let her go. She didn't fall and kept coming towards me with punches. I dodged everyone and decided I needed to get back at her for the kick. Deciding to play it dirty, I picked up some dirt and threw it towards her face. As she closed her eye I grabbed her in a choke hold from behind. She immediately knew how to get out of it and did so only to back up a bit to get dirt out of her eyes.
"That's was a dirty move Captain." She commented glaring at me with now red eyes.
"Whatever it takes to win." Was all I said.
Angrily she came at me but this time she was only running. She didn't have her coat in the air or nothing. I wasn't for sure what she was doing and was planning on just moving aside but her pace quickened before I could blink and she had tackled me down. I opened my eyes from the fall to see her holding her hand above my neck, the way she would hold a knife.
She suddenly looked at hand and shook her head. I was right. That was the way she hold a knife. But why? Why would see have me in this position as if to stab me in the throat and kill me.
She quickly got up and stumbled an apology as she held out a hand for me. I took her head but had finally decided to do something about her oddness.
"Meet me in my office." I said walking away.
~~~
"If this is about tackling you earlier than I'm sorry and will let you have a free punch at me." (Your name) said bowing her head as she sat in front of my desk in a chair.
I sat behind my desk and sighed, "Whatever it takes to win. I threw dirt at you so it only makes sense that you would do something dirty as well although mine was worse. Anyway, that's not what I called here for."
She looked up from her bowing head in surprise. "I'm sorry, Captain?"
"The position you had me in and the way you held up your hand, was as if you had a knife and was going to kill me. I want to know why you do? It isn't the first thing I've noticed that's odd or different about you. Like how well of a fighter you are and flexible, how you carry a knife, how you always ask 'why,' and how you are always up late at night. What ever it's about, I want to know."
She took a deeper breath which caught my attention. "I was an assassin." What?...WAIT?!WHAT?! "I worked for the King and got blood on my hands when I needed to. I decided to join the survey corps in order to retire from the human killing career and go to the Titan killing one. The past me still has that assassin side however; and I don't think it will ever go away. I probably seem like a monster to you but it was my only way out of the underground."
The underground, huh? So she was from there to. "I think it makes you a monster, especially if your from the underground. I'm from there to and I know how hard it can be. I was luck when Erwin offered me a position here in the survey corps."
"I guess we're more similar than we realize."
"I guess so."
There was a moment of silence before (your name) spoke again. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"For not thinking I'm a monster. Or maybe you think it but your not saying it. Either way, thanks."
I sighed and closed my eyes for a second. "I'm thinking it. I know your not monster and that's as simple as it gets."
"How do you know?"
"That you're not a monster?" She nodded her head 'yes.' "Because you told me the truth. If you were a monster, you would have lied or laughed about killing other people. But I can tell in your eyes that you're not like that. You have a moral compass and was just trying to live. I respect you for that much since I grew up in that harsh environment myself."
"Your very brave and understanding. I'll have to add that to my list."
"Your list?"
"My list of why I like you so much, Levi."
"In that case, how about you write that list down so I can read it. While you're at it, I'll write mine but about you."
"Huh? You like me?"
"Let's write those list and you'll see many reasons why I do."
She smiled and nodded her head, "Okay."
