The next chapter is up! Enjoy and review please because I live off of reviews!
"We have to go back," Greer said softly.
"Yeah, but you won't get 10 feet with that junk," Hange spoke up and Greer glared at her.
"I've survived through worse, you know. I'm not fragile," she said and Hange nodded.
"I think I know that more than most, but let's not push it," she grinned and grabbed her.
Greer squealed as Hange clung to her.
"You'll travel with me!" she laughed and Greer rolled her eyes.
Wall Rose…Trost District…
It was an unpleasant ride to say the least, but they made it back. Greer's eyes widened seeing a titan within the walls.
"Hange—" she never finished as Levi mercilessly took out the titan attacking.
The group landed and Levi turned to see the three kids staring at him in shock.
"What's going on here?" he asked firmly.
The kids just stared at him in shock. And then they were arrested. Well, one of them was. The other two followed. Levi turned to Hange.
"Get her to the medical building. We'll go—"
But Greer had managed to get out of Hange's grip.
"—I want to go with you. Why are they hauling those kids off? Why was a titan in Trost?" she asked curiously.
"We'll find out and fill you in later. For now, go to the medical building," he said firmly.
Greer rolled her eyes.
"Petra packed the wound perfectly—"
"—Greer," was all he said and she sighed and turned.
"I don't need an escort. Hange, go with the group and fill me in later," she said and headed off.
They had patched her up nicely. The wound wasn't as bad as Petra made it, but Greer knew that. Petra had a flare for the dramatics. When she was finished she made her way to the deliberation hall. She saw her group and fell in line with them. Hange turned to her and grinned.
"How gruesome was it?" she asked excitedly.
Greer smirked.
"Not too gruesome, actually," she said and Hange sighed.
"Too bad, it would have been fun to poke at later," she laughed and Greer chuckled.
"You shouldn't joke about things like that! You could have died!" Petra squealed her face turning red from anger.
Before Hange or Greer could respond, Erwin did.
"She's right, you know," he said and Greer rolled her eyes.
"Yes, but I thought that it was part of the job description when you join the survey corps. In fact, it was you who told me that when I first joined. Great selling point by the way," she said brushing him off.
"Hey now you decided to join," he replied and she smiled.
"Death intrigues me," she joked and he chuckled.
"So what did I miss?" she asked and they filled her in.
"A titan child?" she questioned and they nodded.
"And we're going to try to get him on board with us. Just have to convince Commander-in-chief Zackly," Erwin said.
Greer thought about it.
Silence.
"What are you thinking?" Erwin asked after a moment.
Greer stood silent and stared straight ahead. The mood became very tense.
"Under whose command specifically?" she asked quietly.
"Under mine," Levi answered calmly.
"Is that wise, Captain?" she asked and Levi glanced at her.
"Do you doubt my decision?" he asked and she rolled her eyes.
"He's a kid who can transform into a titan. You don't see anything wrong with that; anything suspicious? Have we spoken to him?" she asked softly.
"We spoke to him briefly in the underground jail cell beneath the deliberation hall. And now we will fight for him," Erwin answered calmly.
The group stopped in front of the deliberation hall door.
"I'll let you judge for yourself when you see him," Erwin said and she sighed lowly.
Deliberation Hall…
Eren Yeager wasn't much in Greer's opinion. As she watched the three factions fight over whether he should live or die she wondered why Erwin and Levi wanted him in the survey corps so badly.
Until he screamed out saying to invest everything in him and he would not fail.
Then she knew why they wanted him with them so badly. She would even admit she felt it; the twinge in her soul.
The twinge of hope.
She watched Levi beat the hell out of him, knowing why he was doing it, but flinching all the same. The kid was Evie's age. She saw a girl almost launch forward and be held back by her blonde haired friend. She looked ready to kill Levi. Greer smirked slightly.
Commander Zackly didn't take long to make his decision. Basically, if the kid didn't progress anything it was Erwin's ass on the line.
Erwin had given them a month to prepare; a month until they headed to Eren Yeager's home in the Shiganshina District. The squad was fine with that. They had families who hadn't seen them in a while.
"Greer!" a dainty voice shouted and she turned quickly.
She braced herself as a body slammed into her. She muffled her flinch and returned the hug tightly.
"I missed you so much," the younger girl mumbled in her arms.
Greer smiled weakly and hugged her sister closer to her. When they pulled away Greer touched her cheek.
"Evie, you've grown quite a bit since the last time," she chuckled and Evie grinned wide.
"I've been training every day just like you used too!" she exclaimed.
Greer's smile faded slightly.
"I thought we've talked about this. No more talk of training for or joining the Survey Corps, you promised. By the time you go through the proper training this war with the titans will be over," she said firmly and Evie's eyes saddened.
"I'm sorry Greer. I just want to be—"
"—don't apologize to her, Evie," a calm voice spoke behind them.
They both turned; Greer's eyes wide and Evie's grin bright.
"Levi!" she yelled and ran to him.
It was the first time Levi cracked a small hint of a smile. Evie stopped before him and he patted her head gently.
Greer looked at him curiously.
"I thought you'd be with Erwin planning for our next mission," she said and he shrugged nonchalantly.
"Erwin decided it was best to just rest until the morning," he answered and she nodded.
"Well, would you like to stay for dinner?" Greer asked and Levi looked uncomfortable for a moment.
"I'll be the one cooking," Evie added and Levi let out a breath.
"Then alright," he said and Greer frowned as Evie cheered.
"What's wrong with my cooking?!" she snapped as Levi and Evie walked off.
At The House…
Levi sat at the head of the table and Greer sat at his side while Evie stirred the stew that smelt amazing. She was humming to herself happily. Levi sipped his tea quietly.
"Do you believe that kid?" Greer asked suddenly.
Levi didn't look at her, but at his cup.
"I don't have much of a choice," he answered and Evie turned slightly, clearly listening.
"This is a big risk," she said and his eyes met hers.
"Are you losing trust?" he asked calmly.
Greer's eyes lowered.
"I'm…having doubts, because I'm not comfortable with the plan. We usually know all the facts, but with this, we know little," she admitted.
Silence.
"Don't lose trust in me," he said almost inaudibly and she looked at him, their eyes meeting briefly.
Then his eyes lowered to his cup as Evie came in with the plates.
"Be careful now! The stew's hot!" she smiled and served them.
They began eating, enjoying the comfortable silence.
"Will you be staying the night Levi?" Evie asked and Greer turned bright red.
"Evie! You shouldn't—"
"—yes, I'll be staying here the night," he said calmly and Greer almost fainted.
Evie clapped her hands together.
"That's wonderful! Now I can spend time with the both of you before you leave again," she smiled, but Greer and Levi could see the glint of sadness in her eyes.
"You know we'll come back, right Evie?" Greer asked and Evie's smile faded.
"I know. As long as I keep praying, you'll both come back safe," she smiled weakly.
Silence.
"Evie...may I ask who you pray to?" Levi asked his eyes on the stew.
Greer turned to Levi.
Levi—"
"—I pray to mom and dad," she answered and Levi's eyes widened slightly.
Greer stared at her and Evie shrugged.
"There's no god anymore. The titans proved that. So I pray to who I believe can really help us. Mom and dad always watched out for us right up until the end, right Greer? So I believe they continue too and every time you go out I ask them to watch out for you and your group. They haven't failed me so far," she said and all was quiet.
Silence.
"Thank you, Evie," Levi said after a moment causing the girl to look at him.
"For keeping us safe," he added sipping his tea.
Evie grinned and began to take the plates when Greer stopped her.
"Why don't you go and relax and I'll do the dishes," she said kindly.
Levi stood.
"I'll help," he said and Evie smiled.
"Thank you," she said and the two began cleaning.
It got late quickly and soon Evie was yawning. Greer smiled warmly and rubbed her sister's cheek.
"Time for bed," she murmured and Evie frowned tiredly.
"N-No, I want to stay up with you two," she groaned.
"We'll both be sleeping shortly. We're very tired too," Greer promised.
She tucked her sister into bed and soon Evie was out. Greer walked back out into the living room and frowned not seeing him. She turned and saw her bedroom door was opened. She walked in and saw Levi resting his gear against the wall.
"She's still the same...even after all these years," he spoke quietly.
Greer walked over to him as he pulled off his jacket. He turned to her slowly, his eyes glancing down at her side. Greer smiled faintly.
"It won't leave a scar," she whispered.
"No, I didn't think it would," he confirmed.
"I know what you're thinking," she whispered and he finally looked at her.
His eyes pierced through hers every time.
"You make it very hard to keep my promise to her," he said firmly.
Greer shook her head.
"You shouldn't have made such a promise," she scolded lightly.
Levi let his hand gently brush her cheek. It was the first time his hand had touched her face in a while and she missed it terribly.
"I can promise whatever I choose too," he said and she closed her eyes moving into his touch.
"I'm glad you decided to stay," she whispered and his eyes lowered.
"Why won't you let Evie join the survey corps?" he asked and Greer froze.
Silence.
"Because she's fifteen. She's only fifteen and she's small. She's so small for her age, look at her," she said quickly becoming upset.
"Calm down," Levi said resting his hand on her shoulder.
Greer took in a deep breath.
"I'll never let her join for as long as I can. Even when I die I'll haunt her so she stays away. She's smart and fast. That's all she needs," Greer said firmly.
Levi brushed some dark brown locks out of her face.
"I won't bring it up again," he said and she let out a breath.
"Thank you," she whispered and he leaned his head against hers.
"We have a good couple of hours until morning," he whispered and she blushed smiling.
"Whatever can we do until then?" she mused as his lips met hers in a soft, but fervent kiss.
The kiss became more intense and soon their hands were ripping at each other's clothing. Levi nudged her towards the bed and they fell onto it gracefully their lips barely leaving each other. They were extremely familiar with the other's body, especially the extra sensitive places. Greer gently nibbled on his ear and Levi closed his eyes allowing himself to forget for a while and stay in the moment with her.
Greer worked her way towards his jaw line and he lifted his head slightly, allowing her access to his neck, which she took advantage of quickly. His skilled hands roamed her naked body and Greer always found herself wondering how this ruthless man could have such a gentle touch. The hands skimmed over the bandage on her side and then to her lower back where he tensed beneath her.
Flashback...Wall Maria…
They glided past the buildings in their 3D maneuver gear. Greer swung lazily on hers. The mission was a dud and no titans were killed in the process. Which pissed her off because she loathed the giants and every time she sliced one up she felt good about it.
"We're going back," Erwin said firmly and Levi looked at him.
"If we go back now this was a fruitless mission. It means I risked my squad for a bunch of useless information," he said and Greer sighed softly.
"He's kinda right. I mean we've found no traces of titans around here. Don't you find that odd, Hange?" Greer turned to her friend.
Hange shrugged.
"Why complain about it? At least now we get to return home sooner," Hange sighed.
Greer shrugged as well.
"Yeah, I'm excited to see Evie," she smiled and Hange grinned.
Levi turned to Erwin.
"We didn't scout the far left of the territory yet," he continued.
"Why are you so hell bent on staying, Captain? The Commander said we can go back," Greer mused.
Levi looked at her and she shut up.
Him and his stupid looks.
The one he was giving her now was the 'I'm the Captain and you're the subordinate' look.
"It can wait a few more minutes. Are you questioning me?" he asked and Hange grinned.
"I'd watch how I talk to her Captain. I'm pretty sure she'll be your equal very soon. A little birdie told me she's on her way," Hange taunted and Greer grinned.
It was true. Erwin had spoken to her about being the Captain of her own squad on equal ground with Levi. Hange had already volunteered to be her subordinate.
"That is true," Erwin smiled lightly.
Greer could have sworn she saw Levi roll his eyes and laughed at the mere thought.
"Either way she's still under my authority now and I want to check the far left of the territory. It's the only place we didn't get to," he said firmly and both girls rolled their eyes.
Erwin nodded after a thoughtful moment.
"Alright, Greer, Hange, we'll wait for you here. You have ten minutes, please put Captain Levi's mind at ease," he said and the women nodded and were gone.
Greer growled under her breath.
"So close to home I could taste it and he had to make us check this out. Why couldn't he do it himself if he's so concerned?" she hissed.
Hange nodded in agreement. They hopped off the ledge leisurely.
"Couldn't agree more! I mean jeez he's so—"
"—Hange!" Greer screamed as a titan came into view.
She could hear muffled voices in her ear piece, but it was drowned out by the ringing in her ears. The titan was huge; the biggest she'd ever seen. And it grabbed Hange tightly within its fist. Greer immediately cut its fingers off and Hange regained control of her 3D maneuver gear.
"Whoa! That wasn't nice!" Hange tried to joke, but froze when she saw Greer's face.
Greer stared out into the territory they had arrived in. It was covered with titans big and small. Hange did the first thing she could think of and touched her ear piece.
"Titans in the territory! Hundreds!" she yelled and Greer regained her hearing.
"Get out of there now!" Erwin yelled and the two women turned sharply to flee.
Except an abnormal grabbed Hange's leg. She screamed and Greer turned to her. She cut the titan's fingers off and pulled Hange ahead of her roughly.
"Go!" she said and Hange screamed as the titan suddenly smacked Greer hard, sending her flying into the window of a building.
"Greer!" Hange roared as several titans surrounded her.
Suddenly, the napes of their necks were cut out and they were falling down dead. Hange's eyes widened seeing Greer behind them. Blood trailed down her head into her eyes, but her facial expression was what really shocked Hange. She looked as scary as Levi; her eyes cold and angry.
"I told you to go!" she seethed and Hange turned letting her maneuver gear carry her off with Greer right behind her.
Three titans were hot on their heels as the women twisted and turned through the corridors.
"They're abnormal! Three of them!" Hange yelled into her ear piece.
And suddenly her rope was caught and she screamed as she was pulled back. Greer's eyes widened as the titan opened its mouth and threw Hange in.
"No!" Greer cried and swung around.
"Greer, you keep moving forward!" she heard in her ear piece, but she ignored it.
Hange was slipping down the throat of the titan when Greer appeared and grabbed her arm.
"Greer! What are you doing?! Leave me!" Hange cried frantically.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Greer yelled and flung her out of the titan's mouth.
As Hange fell out of the mouth she looked up seeing the titan's mouth snap shut. Her eyes widened as tears blurred her vision.
"Greer!" she wailed.
Deafening silence.
And suddenly Greer burst through the titan's teeth, swinging around, and slicing into its nape. Hange gasped at her speed. The other two stopped suddenly and took off the other way. Hange let out a laugh of relief.
"They've retreated! Greer, holy shit you've got them running scared! They're scared!" she laughed louder.
Greer suddenly felt sick. Her vision became hazy and her maneuver gear suffered for it. She turned, coughing harshly, blood spewing from her mouth, and hit into the side of a building. Her adrenaline had worn off.
"Greer!" Hange called out alarmed.
The maneuver gear retracted and Greer dropped.
But she never hit the ground.
Levi was just as fast as she was and he had caught her. He landed and dropped to his knee quickly on the wall as the rest of the group dropped around them. She coughed again, blood trailing down her chin.
"What the hell happened out there?" Erwin asked alarmed.
Levi's hands moved swiftly, removing her green cloak. His eyes widened slightly seeing her brown jacket and white shirt soaked through with blood. Hange covered her mouth.
"What happened?!" Erwin demanded again and Hange managed to look at him.
"A-A titan sir…it hit her. It hit her into a window. And then…and then you saw what it did!" she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Greer swallowed weakly and Levi turned and grabbed Mike's bag off his shoulder, ripping it open.
"Hange, I know you have bandages packed, take them out," he said firmly and Hange fumbled for her bag.
Erwin watched Levi remove his cloak and place it under Greer's head gently.
"Levi—"
"—if we pack the wound she'll have enough time until we get back and can take her to the medical building for treatment," he said, cutting him off.
Greer stared at Levi with lowered lids. Erwin's eyes saddened.
"Men," he said and gave the salute, with one fist over his heart.
Tears trailed down their faces as they made the salute. Levi touched Greer's chin forcing her to look at him. Tears trailed down her face as well.
"Don't look at them, look at me, only me," he said sternly.
"I'm s-sorry. I'm sorry," she mumbled weakly and Levi's eyes widened.
Erwin turned to the others quickly.
"Let's wait on the other side," he said and Mike had to drag a hysterical Hange off with the rest.
Levi shook his head slowly.
"Why are you apologizing? Stop," he said harshly.
Greer stared at him with lowered eyelids.
"T-This is my fault. I made the wrong choice. I should have just left it alone," he blurted out.
Greer moved her hand slowly so that it rested over his. His eyes met hers and she was startled by the emotion there. He looked devastated.
"Don't die. Please live. If you live I'll be better I promise," he closed his eyes tightly.
"I will spend every moment being better," he pleaded.
Greer felt the tears trail down her face and she squeezed his hand as tightly as she could. His grip was making her hand go numb, but she didn't care. Her blood trailed down his hand; down his arms.
"You h-have to b-be the one to t-tell Evie…it h-has to be you…p-promise," she pleaded and a tear fell from his eye as he nodded his promise.
"Captain, the medical team is coming this way!" Oluo yelled and Levi's eyes snapped open and he turned.
"What?" he asked and then turned to Greer.
"Greer, the medical team is coming this way," he said and then his face fell.
End Flashback.
Levi's grip had tightened as his hand traced the scar on her back. Greer smiled lightly.
"I made it. I'm here and alive," she whispered.
Levi didn't speak or look at her. He stared at the ceiling. Greer touched his cheek and made him look at her.
"Stay with me a little while longer before you go back to being my Captain," she begged and his eyes softened.
Slowly, he leaned up and their lips connected again. His arms encircled her, holding her close to him. She could feel his hard length press against her thigh and she grinned.
"Hm, what are we going to do about this?" she mused and he let a small smirk show through.
He entered her quickly and she muffled a gasp and gripped onto him, letting her head fall into his shoulder. They fell into a rhythm their lips traveling over their bodies. Their breathing increased heavily and Levi sat up with her still in his arms. She circled her legs around him tightly and he let a grunt slip past his lips. She bit his shoulder and he kissed her neck as they rocked back and forth.
Greer bit her lip and Levi kissed her again, holding the kiss as he pumped into her. Their rhythm ended as they both stilled, reaching their climax at the same time. He held her tightly against him, both coming down from their high slowly, both relishing it. After a few moments Greer lifted her head and met his eyes. She brushed some of his dark hair back and smiled a genuine smile.
"Let's do it again," she giggled attacking his lips once more.
I hope everyone enjoyed! Please review! I love reviews!
