I'm only gonna say this once so here it is: I do not own Attack On Titan, I only own the AU Plot.

Chapter One: A Chance Encounter.

One month before the attack on Shiganshina.

Levi Ackermen, a twenty six year old Titan killer, the best Titan killer by the way, was enjoying his day off. He wore his normal outfit: a black suit with a red tie,
matching pair of black silk pants, a plain white shirt under his outer shirt, a pair of spotless black dress shoes and his ascot as he walked in the stone streets of Shiganshina. He has many fangirls as well as fans but only one true friend: The one who he calls 'Shitty Glasses' as a nickname but her real name is Hange Zoe. With a sigh he closed his eyes about half way."'Sigh', another day in this Hell that we call home." He said to himself under his breath as he turned a corner into a side ally. And bumped into something. Or at least, someone.

"I'm sorry sir." He heard as he fully opened his eyes, looked down and saw a boy around five years old with long, wide blond hair wearing tattered rags covered in dirt and dried blood. As he eyed the boy he said: "It's alright. Just watch where your going next time." He says as he dusts off his

Stamering, the boy replies by saying "Yes sir. Sorry for bumping to you." as he bows and walks away. As Levi watches him leave he spots a fresh gash across the back of the boy's neck. "Hold on!" He says as the boy tense's up.

"Yes sir?" He asks as he turns back around to face Levi.

"Where'd you get that cut on your neck?"

"I fell on a set of steps this morning." The boy says with a scared look on his face as Levi looks right through him.

"Your lying."

"What?"

"I said that you lying. The angle of the cut is sideways, not top-down. That cut is clean so it either from a knife or a piece of glass. Come here. Now." He demands.
As the boy walks towards the Titan killer he turns around and shows him the full cut as the man bends down on one knee to fully examine the wound.

Touching the cut, which he hates to get dirty by the way, the boys winces in pain. "Ow."

"How did this happen?" He asked as the boy turned back around and looked him square in the eyes.

"I... I was attacked by a group of four men, they like to gather around me and beat me until I pass out. Only this time one of them used a weapon instead of their fists."

'Disgusting. Anyone who would attack a child who can't defend themself's desirves to die.' He thinks to himself. "Hey kid."

"Yes?"

"What's your name?"

"It's Armin. What's yours?"

"Levi."

"Your the Levi? The one that everyone calls humanity's greatist hope?" The now named Armin asks as Levi fight's back the urge to smile.

"Yes. How'd you know my name without seeing my face?"

"My grandpa told me. He saw you kill a Titan last year and said that you're a hero. Is it ture?"

Still hiding that smile, he tells Armin: "Yes Armin, I supose that you can call me a hero. Your grandfather sounds like a smart man."

As soon as those words left Levi's mouth Armin's face changes from happy to sad as he looks down. "Hmm? What's wrong Armin?"

"My grandfather died last year. I've been living on the streets as an begger. My parents were killed trying to see the world outside of the Wall. Ever since then, I've been an orphen."

Now fighting back a scowl of anger, Levi thinks: 'Armin's been begging on the streets for over a year? He's one tough kid. Still, I can't leave him here to starve to death or be killed in his sleep.' After coming to only one course of action Levi speaks again: "Armin."

"Yes Levi?"

"Would you like to stay with me and grow up without living in fear?" He asked as Armin's eyes beamed.

"Really? Are you sure that you wouldn't mind? Whenever those men see me they tell me that I'm just trash."

"Don't talk like that ever again Armin!" He states as he puts his hands on the boy's shoulders, not caring about the filth on his hands right now. "You are not trash at all. You're a bright, young boy who will grow up to become anything that he want's to be. I promise you that. Come on, let's go." He tells Armin as he stands up.

"Okay. But first, can we please stop by my old shelter? I need to grab my book that my grandfather left me."

"Of course. Where is your old shelter?"

"It's close by. All we need to do is head a little further down the allyways." Armin told the man.

"Alright." He says.

As the two head futher inside the allys they find Armin's hidden spot.

"Here it is. I'll just be a second." He tell's the adult as he crawls on his hands and knees to get inside. "Got it." He says as he crawls back out of the simi-hidden spot with the book cluched in his hands.

"Let me see that book."

"O-okay." He says, nervosly as he hands it to Levi.

"This is a forbidden book. If anyone were to see this you'd be hung. But, I won't let that happen."

"So I can keep it?"

"Of course. Just keep it hidden until we reach the Capital."

"Thank you Levi." Armin said as they began the walk to the Capital.

Now I don't remember if that's the right place or not so if I am wrong please let me know in the review section and I'll fix it for chapter two.

"So what's the Capital like?" He asked as he kept his hands over his book that was under his shirt.

'Just like the rest of this shithole, except with more shit.' "It's pretty boring. The only people allowed in there are the nobles and the Survey Corps."

"You mean the MPs."

"Yes."

"Do you think that they'll let me inside?"

"They won't have a choice in the matter Armin. As humanity's last hope I have a say in everything that goes on in the Capital. Plus, the nobles fear me."

"Sounds like you should be in charge."

Almost smileing that time but still just bearly holding it back he says: "I guess your right Armin, I should be in charge, but it's a group vote. My voice carries most of what the Council does." He told the young orphen as they kept walking to the Capital.

Please tell me what you think and if I should keep this going or not. If I can get... One review I'll write and post the sceond chapter.
