Levi's POV

It was somewhat of a normal day, I was getting ready to go on a mission with the aid of Luka Mandeville's team. I was making sure everything was in place just in case I didn't make it, a presumptuous thought. Then there was a knock on my door. Odd, I thought, I wasn't aware anyone was coming.

I thought it was some girl I had met and was about to yell at them to go away as I opened the door but instead it was Luka. It thoroughly confused me; yes we knew each other and would occasionally go to the bar and flirt with random, clueless girls.

"Luka? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I want to ask something of you." He replied shortly [short jokes…]

"About?"

"Luna."

That surprised me, she didn't care for me like some of the girls I had met. She brushed me off and though she would smile and laugh at my jokes she kept her distance. It had to be serious if it was about her; Luka adored his younger twin sister and would do anything for her. Which made me think Erwin asked her to join her brother on this mission; it certainly was more dangerous than the ones she had been on before even if she was a wonderful soldier. It was this that made me curious, her behavior was the behavior I often exhibited. Was she just mirroring me to make me aware of what I was doing?

"What about her?"

"If anything happens to me, anything, I want you to take care of her."

I stared at him in disbelief, "She hates me, why would she let me take care of her if she hates me?"

He laughed, "She doesn't hate you and I know you think she's pretty interesting. If anything happens to me, I need you to take care of her. If you can't, Erwin said he would check in with her. Regardless, you need to know that if she loses me she will sink into a depression almost immediately, she won't be rational and she will be beside herself. Please, Levi. I have seen how you watch her train, I trust you to care for her because she will need it."

"I will but why do you ask now? You have never asked this before," I stated.

"She has taught me to be aware of omens, and today is full of bad omens. I wrote her a letter explaining everything, I also asked Erwin that if I pass to remove her from the Survey Corps, she will resist because she loves the freedom, but the catch was that once she is well then she can rejoin. Until then she is to focus on her psychology. I feel bad for making all these decisions for her,"

"You want what is best for her and she will understand that. You have my word that I will take care of her,"

"That means getting close to her, Levi, not just checking in on her once a day. I have seen her in her depressive episodes; if she doesn't have supervision… bad things have almost happened because I left her alone for an hour. Be I dead or severely injured, that isn't something I want to go through again."

I remembered what he was referring to; I swear that asshole will pay for breaking her so badly even though I didn't know the full situation, he will still pay. She didn't socialize for two weeks and once she did she was so thin and empty, then I realized that she wasn't the same person anymore that even though she started smiling and was happy again that she would never be the same. I knew if anything happened to her brother it would be way worse than that, he was all she had and if she lost that then she would feel as though she had no point of living which wasn't true, there were a great many people who cared about her and relied on her capabilities. This was an important promise and it was one I was set to keep. Whatever the costs, I told myself, I will do everything I can to help her.

I would have to learn more about her and her habits before reaching full capability of taking care of her.

"I figured you would need to learn more about her and her 'habits' so I have logged her typical day, Erwin has one as well. If one of you tires of her then the other can aid. I'm not leaving her with nothing, she already has her desolate how full of heartless books. Just, help her find a boyfriend or something. And make sure she eats, force her if you have to or bribe her. She's smart but she is only human." Luka said pretty much reading my mind, maybe my face gave me away because I was deep in thought, "She might be good for you too, Levi. Get you to open up a little bit,"

"You really care about Luna, don't you, Luka?" I teased lightly, "And I doubt that, my disposition has earned me a reputation."

"Not a good one, if you ask me. Besides, she's all I've got and I'm all she's got. Is there any reason we wouldn't care about each other so deeply?" he said handing me a neatly tied and pressed packet labeled Luna's Life. I laughed at the cover.

"I suppose not, it is important to stay with family as long as you can, though I'm not one to talk anyways. I'll try my best but I won't replace you,"

"No one can replace me, and she knows it. Who else will know and understand all her ugly little secrets? How she doesn't trust men romantically but she will always be friends with them, no one will ever understand it the same way I do in her mind."

That got me thinking, I should try my best to make her happy, it would only be fair as she is such a gentle soul who has helped a lot of people through the transition from being a soldier to being a civilian. I was determined to help her, she deserved the help and I would give it to her.

"We leave in two hours, I will start looking at your guide and you prepare your team. Does she know what she's going into?"

"No, she doesn't. She just thinks it's another scouting mission,"

"She's a hard one,"

He nodded, "I'm going to have tea with her before we go, just have a little bit of the family time we never have."

"You're both adults with different lives; you aren't the children I watched grow."

"You aren't much older than us, only five years."

"True but still, we all live different lives. You two seem to be the only ones who try to keep them ties but you are the 'Inseparable Twins' after all," I told him nonchalantly, "See you in two hours."

"Farewell, Ackerman." Luka said walking away and leaving me to think.

I honestly didn't know how to feel about Luna, she was different and that was certain. It was fascinating how she never really cared about what people thought about her, she never tried impressing anyone other than her brother or the Commander but that wasn't out of romantic need. I recalled Luka saying how she didn't trust men romantically making me wonder if she was used in some way.

I opened the pamphlet and began reading it.

5:30 Wake Up

16:30-18:00 Free Time (reading, cleaning, writing)

18:00 Supper

18:45-20:00 Evening Run or Exercise

20:30/21:00 Bed

Her schedule was precise and even included when she did her cleaning, that was good for cleaning should always have a way into a schedule. It fascinated me how her day ran; it was very simple yet very complex. She likes to have things to do by the look of it. Yet we didn't get along as well as I would have thought we would. I hoped that if the worst came that I could prove myself to be someone she could trust and- I stopped myself, no love, that wasn't to be involved with me.

I only hoped that if we got close, she didn't start to love me. I wouldn't know what to do if she did… Maybe tell her how I feel. How did I feel? Confused that was for sure but the first time I had met her had been one of agitation. It was so clear in my mind.

Three Years Ago

I had been doing work in the library to get out of my office for a little while, not long just an afternoon. A girl with long, neatly braided chestnut hair walked up to my table. "May I use the corner?" she asked politely. I stared at her coldly, irritated that I was being disturbed with my work.

"I suppose if you must." I answered my voice as cold as my look. It didn't deter her, an odd thing since most people left me alone if I gave that look. Instead she smiled at me slightly and took a seat a few seats away. I watched her as she placed her books silently on the table as well as a thick notebook. They were odd books, all on psychology. Then she went to find more books.

When her back was turned, I got up and leafed through her notebook. Jason; Day One, one heading read followed by notes on a session and I realized that she was a psychologist and that she was just researching more on the topic. Possibly to better understand it? I wasn't sure.

"Excuse me but it is very rude to look at another's notes without permission." A smooth voice said, I noticed a hint of sadness or pain in it.

"I'm sorry, I was curious."

She laughed softly, "Levi Ackerman, 'Humanity's Strongest Soldier' is a curious cat."

I turned around to face her, realizing that she was even shorter than me. The corners of her mouth turned up as she was attempting not to smile. Her round, dark blue eyes reminded me of the ocean though they looked stormy. She held my gaze intensely, probably waiting for a better apology.

She sighed, "I suppose I have to accept that you read about one of my patients."

"Aren't you a bit young to be a doctor?"

Her face fell and her eyes finally dropped their gaze down to her navy blue suede shoes, err heels. "I've had plenty of practice… my family has always worked in this industry but instead of being a surgeon or a doctor for illness, I am a doctor of the mind. I began my studies of it when I was eleven, I will be twenty one in February." She said softly, as if it were painful to talk about her family, "At the same time, I aid in certain missions in the Survey Corps right alongside your team, Corporal Ackerman. Clearly you don't notice."

The coldness of her voice at the end shocked me, most people said something about how they thought I was a hero or something like that not that I was oblivious. I had noticed her before, I noticed how she carried herself with a dignity but I never understood why she did. I came to realize that it was because she wasn't just helping on the battlefront but the home front as well.

"Its people like you that make me hate others," I heard her mumble, "You think you are better than everyone else and that everyone else needs to hold you on some pedestal."

She yanked her notebook out of my hands, gathered her books and stormed off. Later a boy who looked exactly like her approached me.

"I'm sorry about my sister; she doesn't like people disturbing her work." He said in an apologetic tone, "She's a lot sweeter than you think… she's been having a bad day."

I looked at him, "She told me I was oblivious, not directly but she implied it."

The boy laughed, "That is like her, she points out how oblivious everyone is to everyone else but she is so detail oriented that it just happens. She criticizes me all the time." He paused, "Try giving her a second chance, I promise you that she isn't as cold as she seems but is quite the opposite. Who knows she might even like you,"

"She's beautiful," was all I said in response, surprising myself. I didn't really know why I said that, maybe because I really did think she was beautiful and that I was already ready to give her another chance even if I had to observe far away.

After time, I did come to see that she was a soft and gently soul but that was never bestowed on me. I did hope that one day she would forgive me for reading her notes. Luka laughed when I told him this.

"It's more than mere notes, Levi." He told me, "She doesn't like being around your stoic, cold personality, it upsets her."

I came to learn that she was a very honest and very blunt person for the most part, especially when she was talking to a person directly. I came to respect her for it; I knew that I was a hard person to talk to on the best of days. Maybe I hoped that she would be willing to help me. I had actually tried seeing her a couple times as a psychologist but she didn't entirely believe that I was mentally shaky.

"She's an odd one," I mumbled continuing to look over the book; it was mostly her brother taking notes on certain behaviors that were normal and how to tell if something was abnormal. He was making it clear to an outsider how she worked.

I felt as though I was intruding on the life of the woman I liked, it felt wrong yet okay since her brother asked me to. Fucked up thinking in all honesty, it's like saying I can fuck her not because she said I could but because her brother sold her out to me. She wouldn't be happy about it and I didn't know if I would be able to take care of her if she wasn't willing to let me. Maybe if she could understand that it was for her own good that her brother just wanted her to be safe.

I just hoped to god nothing happens, I didn't need a liability. But I would do it out of respect for Luka. And I would do it to make Luna happy again if he did get hurt or die. I knew Erwin would do the same out of respect of them, they were two of the best soldiers I had met and the two greatest friends anyone could ask for. I had a feeling this mission was going to change everything and not for the better, Luka sensed it too and I'm sure he doesn't want his sister going to this one but we can't defy orders. We have to do what is best to fight this war against the Titans and try to kill all the fuckers we can, even if it means losing some good people in the process for they won't really be gone and we will always remember them for what they did and what they accomplished.

A/N This is my first Attach on Titan story, I'm new to it… please cut me some slack as I read other fan fictions and learn about characters that way until I am able to read the series. Sorry if Levi is OOC
