So this is going to be multiple Levi x reader short stories. Most of them are going to be one shots, but some will be two shots or even three.

If you want me to do a particular reader insert, you can say something in the comments or shoot me a message on my tumblr, which is arlertjpeg

I don't know how well these will turn out, but I plan on sticking to this!

I Love Your Eyes

part 1 of 3

"Squad leader, [first name]!" someone in my group called for me, and I turned my back to the lifeless titan whom I had just killed. I recognized the voice as one of the younger ones, but I could not for the life of me remember his name. It wasn't that I was rude and didn't think his life was worth remembering, it was just that I had a bad memory when it came to naming a face.

My eyes widened when I saw the young redhead was facing a fourteen-meter titan. He called for me for help, but I didn't understand why when his maneuver gear was in contact. He stood on a high roof by himself, with the female titan smiling down at him.

Why isn't the idiot moving? I asked myself as I immediately moved to rescue him. The female titan was about to smack my cadet when I swooped down and stuck my arm out. I grabbed his waist, and we were about to swing to safety when the titan hit the spot we were just standing on, causing the two of us to be covered in debris and slamming into another part of the house.

Pain erupted from my whole body as I lay among broken pieces, but the pain was worse in my face. It took me a few seconds to realize I couldn't see out of my left eye. I raised my hand to my face, pulled it back, and saw my fingers were covered in blood.

The screams from my young cadet pulled me from the stupor I was about to sink into, and I looked up to see the female titan was holding him in her grasp.

I pulled my aching body out of the debris I was laying in, and released my left grappling hook. The hook sank into the hand of the titan, and she fixed her eyes on me. With the flick of my finger, my body was skillfully launched towards the titan's arm. At the last second, I drew my blade, and slashed at the large plain of skin that did not belong to a human.

The boy was dropped to the ground, as I was enclosed in the titan's other hand.

I couldn't move. I wasn't able to move and so I struggled in the grasp of the monster. I could hear my cadet scream as I was sliding closer and closer to my death.

I was pulled towards a mouth that was much larger than my own body, and then I was engulfed into total darkness.

My body was laying on something wet- a tongue. I felt disgusted as I was suddenly thrown forward, towards the back of the throat. Before I was able to go down, I released my grappling hooks towards the front of the mouth.

I felt the hooks grasp into something solid, and the titan suddenly howled in pain. I started screaming as well, but the ear splitting yell the titan was releasing drowned my miniscule noises out.

I released the gas and was launched forward, towards the teeth. I pulled out both of my blades at the same time and thrust both of them upwards, into the roof of the mouth.

As soon as the titan's jaws opened and I saw the clear skies, I wasted no time in retracting my wires and releasing the gas at full speed.

"I'm not ready to die yet!" I shouted as I shot out of the mouth. I turned around to face my enemy. I released my hooks into its head, and swung in a wide arc around to its back where I slashed its neck deep with my blade.

I retracted my wires and stood on the back of the titan's head as it fell to the ground.

"Squad leader [first name]!" the redhead whom I saved called for me as soon as my feet were on solid ground.

"Good work kid," I said as nausea suddenly hit me. I could feel my body grow heavy and I started to stumble.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Totally fine," I replied before the world I was seeing faded to black.

I woke up on something chilly. I think it was a table, but I couldn't be sure. A bright light met my gaze immediately, and I squinted.

"You're awake," a husky voice said.

I took few seconds to open my mouth. My throat felt dry as I asked, "Who the hell are you?" I turned my head, trying to see who was with me. My vision was blurred at first, but details suddenly became clearer.

"The doctor," the voice replied. "We haven't met earlier because you never needed my supervision…until today."

I realized quickly that something was wrong. I couldn't see through my left eye. I raised my hand to my face to touch something smooth covering my eyelid. "Speaking of vision," I said. "What…?"

"Ah, you noticed."

"How can I not?" I asked when I suddenly saw the doctor. Yep, I never met him until that moment.

The old doctor sighed as he sat down in a chair beside the table I lay on. "You saved one of our cadets a few days ago resulting in the total loss of vision in your left eye. You blacked out, and while you were unconscious, I did some surgery. I removed the damaged areas of you eye, and replaced the whole thing with glass."

It was my turn to sigh and I closed my good eye. "You don't beat around the bush, do you old man?"

The mess hall was buzzing with talk until I dragged my sorry ass in. As soon as I appeared, everyone stopped talking to stare. I ignored the gaze of the others as I got myself a plate of food and headed to the table where the other squad leaders sat. I took the only empty chair situated next to Hanji, and right across from Levi Ackerman. The short man only looked at me and said nothing. I levelly met his gaze and said nothing myself. I was hoping to look at him until he looked away first, but I was the one to turn away when Hanji said my name.

"Huh?" I looked at her.

"You okay?" she asked with a smile.

"I think so," I said as I unconsciously touched my left eye. I wore an eye patch, but instead of having a strap circling around my head like Hanji did with her glasses, the only thing holding the leather in place was the piece that rested behind my left ear. It was like wearing half a pair of glasses. "I'm still doped up on medication, so it's hard to tell."

"Squad Leader [first name], sir!" a voice suddenly shouted in my left ear. I cringed at the volume and turned my head to see the familiar locks of red hair. It was the boy I saved.

"I lost my eyesight, kid, not my hearing!" I told him.

The boy bowed low, catching me off guard.

"I'm so sorry leader!" he said a little loudly. "If I wasn't such a coward, you wouldn't have had to come save me! I know it's not much, but I owe you what I have left of my life!"

I closed my eye and leaned my chin in my hand, which I had rested on the table. I crossed my right leg over my left and said quietly, "And if I had aimed to kill the titan instead of swooping down to get you, I would not have lost my eye. We both might have left the scene unscathed." I opened my eye to see the redhead look at me with his jaw open. "It's in our nature to need help. As human beings we rely on others to survive, so do not apologize for calling for me. That was the correct thing to do in that sort of situation. You were scared, but not as much as I. I swore to keep my cadets safe, so that's what I tried to do. You say you owe me your life, but you do not. All I ask is that you continue to serve for the purpose of defeating the titans."

The boy suddenly grinned. "Sir yes sir!" he said.

I smiled lightly. "Good. Try your best and don't let me down."

"Of course sir!" he said.

I watched as the boy headed back to his seat. When I turned in my chair to eat food, I noticed Hanji was grinning at me.

"What?" I asked, furrowing a brow.

"You were smiling," she said.

"Hmmm, don't remember," I said before picking up the loaf of bread on my plate.

"Oh, squad leader [first name]!" someone else called my name behind me.

"Would you drop it with the 'squad leader'?" I turned and asked immediately. "When we're not in the field, just call me by my name, alright?!"

"Sorry sir!" the speaker said. It was a blond boy who spoke. I swore I could have placed his name too, but it didn't come to me right away. "Anyway, sir, I heard you were completely in the titan's mouth!"

"Yeah, I heard that too!" Another boy said.

"Heard it? Pfft that's nowhere near seeing it with your own eyes!" a girl suddenly said excitedly. "It was the coolest thing ever!"

I smirked as I listened to the young kids talk.

"What was it like?" a girl asked me.

Multiple eyes were trained in my direction.

"What was it like?" I scoff and cross my arms. "It was disgusting. I hope to never be back in the mouth of a titan unless I'm dead."

"You must tell me everything!" Hanji suddenly shouted beside me as she clutched my arm.

"Definitely!" I confirmed.

The loud sound of a cup being slammed down on the table made me look in the direction. Levi stood from the table and said in his signature low voice, "[first name], come to my office after you're finished."

I watched silently as he left before allowing me time to respond.

"What was that about?" Hanji suddenly asked me.

I shrugged my shoulders slightly. "Hell if I know."

After dinner, I made my way to Levi's office. I knocked on the door and said my name loud and clear before he could ask who I was.

"Come in," he replied.

I walked into his office, not even surprised at the cleanliness. Levi was sitting in one of two chairs across from his desk, and he motioned for me to sit in the other. In order for me to sit down, I had to cross in front of his sitting form.

When I was about to step across him, my left foot caught on his and I stumbled. Before I could hit the ground, Levi grabbed my forearm, steading me in his strong grip.

"Thanks," I said as I took the empty seat. I noticed quickly that he didn't sigh or give me his usual 'tsk' as he helped me. How sweet of the shortie. I crossed my right leg over my left and leaned back in the soft cushions. I closed my right eye in content and almost smiled. I was about to ask Levi what he wanted to talk to me for, but the silence we were sitting in was too comforting, and I ended up saying nothing at all.

"Let me see it," Levi suddenly said in the silence.

"No."

"Why not?" he asked.

"It's gross."

I heard Levi stand to his feet. I could hear his boots against the wooden floor as he walked closer to me. I opened my eye to see he was bending slightly so we could see face to face.

He reached towards me, and I jerked my head out of his path. "I said no."

"I said let me see," he argued without raising his voice. "Don't be a brat."

"If I show you will you leave me be?" I asked, irritated.

He nodded slightly and I sighed. Reaching up, I uncovered my left eye and opened it. As to be expected, my eyesight was unhindered. Nothing changed.

I lowered my head to feel my short [hair color] hair fall into my eyes. Levi held my chin with his fingers and tilted my head back. The brunette man said nothing for a while, and I was going to give him a smart remark. I opened my mouth to say something, when he suddenly placed his hand on top of my head. He made me look down, and I didn't understand until his forehead was pressed against mine.

"Thank god," he said in a relieved voice. It was so different from his usual deadpan tone that I was taken completely off guard. "Thank god nothing worse happened. This is a small price to pay."

"What are you-"

"I swear if you get hurt like this again, I'm going to kick your ass." Ah, there was the bored tone I was so used to.

"Wha-" I was cut off when I felt something rough press lightly to my left eyelid. Levi's dark hair was in my view, and it took me a few seconds to realize what was happening. He was pressing a kiss to my face.

What's wrong with this guy?
