Father Levi x Daughter Reader

Chapter 4

Sorry about last chapter being a little disturbing. I promise this chapter will be so much nicer XD well that is if any Titans don't show up along the way. But we all know Ensrahi's luck! As always, I do not own any characters in Attack on Titan. But I thought this would be a cute idea.

'We're going beyond the wall okay?' The man asked as the little girl shook her head.

'They'll eat me Mister.' The girl whimpered, as the man hit her on the head. She whimpered at that, clutching her head as it throbbed lightly.

'We're going past the wall. You'll be riding with me.' The man ordered as the little girl nodded her head. The man than picked her up and put her on the horse's saddle. The horse nickered and shook its head, accepting its new small rider.

'Don't let me fall okay Mister?' The little girl asked as the man swung onto landing behind her.

'I promise I won't let you fall.'

-Ensrahi's POV-

Levi made sure to scrub my hair really well. Running it underneath the well pump, the water froze my head it seemed, but I could see all of the blood running into a bucket underneath. I could've swore I had gotten it all out earlier, but he apparently ran his hand through my hair, grumbled something about being decently clean, and dragged me over to the well pump. When blood finally stopped mixing with the water, he had Eren stop pumping and let me stand up properly again.

"There. Now dry yourself and come meet me in my office when you're done." Levi grumbled and walked off, wiping his bloody hands off on Eren who also grumbled about the process of getting blood out of the uniform. Eren handed me a towel as I began to shake my hair in it, trying to get all the water out. It felt good to be clean finally, Levi Clean always felt good, especially as a little kid when I had lived in dirt and filth for so long.

I ran my fingers through my hair, as water was squeezed out of it. Nimble fingers suddenly grasped my fingers and I yelped as Petra came out from behind me, running her own fingers through my hair.

"Come now, I'm not going to do any thing too flashy. Okay?" She smiled at me as I sighed. Her fingers ran through my hair, braiding it quickly. She tied it off with a leather string. Since my hair was so long, the braid came down to the small of my back. Levi never had time to cut my hair anymore and I had yet to find someone who could help me.

"Go find Levi." She smiled, pushing me off to his office.

-Levi's POV-

A knock came from the door, as I looked up to see Rahi walk through the door. Her hair was braided, and clean, it gleamed healthily. It was nice to know I was doing my job somewhat right... And I still had to cut her hair. Or teach her how to eventually. One of the two. She came in and shut the door, looking around at all the trinkets and awards I had on the walls. One of them however, she stopped at and stared intently.

I got up from my desk to see what she was looking at. In the frame was the first picture she drew me when she came to HQ.

"You kept this?" Rahi asked, as I nodded.

"Of course I did." I huffed, and went over to my desk, opening one of the doors. I took a deep breath and pulled out a uniform that was Rahi's size. I tossed it at her as she caught it barely. It was obvious that she was surprised by the fact that I even tossed her one of the Survey Corps Uniform. There was even her own cape in there... I can finally have mine back.

"Get changed. We're leaving for the wall soon." I ordered. She nodded, and went outside the office. It was a few moments before she returned. She wore a black button down flannel shirt underneath, tucked into the pants. Plus she had a white scarf tied, the knot to the side. With the cape on, and the scarf above it, she reminded me too much of Mikasa... But at the same time, she was her own person. The uniform suited her well. Too well.

"Did Erwin get this made for me?" She asked, as I sighed in acceptance.

"Come on. We have to go back to the Trost District to get to Wall Sina." I grumbled, dragging her out of the office and walking briskly to the storage room.

"W-why through Trost?" Rahi asked nervously. I opened the door and went to the right to the 3D gear. She needed a set too, instead of always borrowing a spare laying around.

"Quickest way to get to Sina. Westin's family lives in the Ehrmich District. For fear of the Wall Maria being breached again." I explained holding a set out to her. She hooked it up and I grabbed a couple of full gas tanks. Just in case. She held some for me as I grabbed my gear as well. Just finished fixing the shifty axel in the main hub yesterday. It's like floating on clouds... Dismiss that I said that.

At the stables, I whistled for my horse as he came galloping down and stopped in front of me. He nuzzled his face into me lovingly, and I patted his muzzle. Rahi hooked the gas tanks in slots specifically made for that, I happened to be the only one that had a custom made saddle for the horse. Gift from the King, for service against Eren's first transformation.

"Am I riding with you, or getting my own horse?" Rahi asked, and I gestured for her to get her own horse. She whistled as a pure black stallion came galloping to her side. Rahi easily swung on with a single leg. It made me wonder just how much had she had been riding with Hanji for Eren's experiments.

The gate opened when Rahi and I reached the guarding walls. We rode out into the forest surrounding the HQ, before finally reaching the plains where little villages and Titans roamed. Wall Maria was in the distance as Wall Rose could be seen not to far from where we were. Trost's gate was finally built again after Eren closed it. It was about time, I had no idea what the Wall Soldiers were slacking off for. Those obvious soldiers were slightly better than the police, but I still found them incompetent when it came to defending humanity.

There wasn't any really to explain for this leg of the journey, it was uneventful and the plains were eerily quiet as we reached the Trost District. As soon as the gates opened, Rahi's face seemed to drain of all color. Reaching in my saddle bag for my current book, I eventually trotted over to her and whacked her on the head. It wasn't hard, but it brought her back from what ever memory she was reliving as we rode through town. Rahi blinked in surprise and looked at me. Than looked up at the sky. It was sunset already.

"We'd better find a place to stay." She suggested. I couldn't disagree more. Eventually, we found a tavern that wasn't too far off the beaten track.

"Will it be the lovers suite for you two?" The owner teased, I swore there were anger bubbles around me, as my eye brow twitched.

"That's my daughter you fucker." I growled as Rahi blushed, embarrassed. The owner raised her eye brows in surprise.

"Oh that's a new one. Room for two?"

"Just a room for one will do." I growled, frustrated as I eventually got to pay after the owner couldn't stop teasing us. This is why I enjoyed camping outside on roofs instead. Tavern owners think they could charm their way into soldiers hearts and milk them for all they got. I can't count how many times Erwin got suckered for a pretty tavern daughter. Pervert.

Opening the room, it was a simple bed, desk and candle. Bathroom was down the hall, same with the washroom. Taverns were disgusting. Rahi seemed to read my mind as she cautiously picked up the sheets with disgust.

"Um... Can we sleep on the roof? I might find that a little more comfortable than sleeping on God knows what in these sheets." Rahi explained with the same cleaners eye I had. Ah, I had taught her so well.

"Sure. As long as you have a blanket in your bag."

"Two actually. Both clean." Rahi proudly smiled, opening the tavern window.

-Ensrahi's POV-

Night had fallen by the time Levi and me were situated on the roof. The tiles were dusted with grime and dirt, I could also see light blood splatters from a time long ago. We were wrapped in our blankets sitting up on the roof, our 3D gear hooks shot into the tiles that way we wouldn't slip off in the middle of the night.

"It's hard to believe it's been five years since returning here." I murmured, as Levi looked at me suddenly,

"Are you okay with even being here?" He asked cautiously, bumping into me with his shoulder causing me to lean the opposite way. I bumped him back.

"I don't know. Most of my memories are snippets now from back then." I sighed, staring up at the stars in the night sky. The moonlight illuminated the Trost District in a comfortable white light as the stars twinkled like I've seen in so many Titans eyes. It made me wonder, where exactly did Titans come from? Why did they eat humans only?

"That's better than when I found you. I remember you not being able to sleep for weeks on end because you were so used to sleeping during the day hiding." Levi recalled. Suddenly my memories shifted and replayed before my eyes:

"Go to bed brat." Levi had demanded as I sat on the stone windowsill, knees tucked into my chest, arms curled into a fetal position.

"I can't." I had murmured in my tiny seven year old voice, I was wearing a fresh shirt, Levi's shirt actually, which was five sizes bigger on me, so it looked like a giant dress.

"What now?" He asked roughly sitting across me.

"I'm used to moving at night, and sleeping during the day." I explained. Levi nodded his head, before picking me up by nooks of my arms and put me in bed. Surprisingly, he had his arms protectively around me. It had been the first time in months I had felt safer than ever. Levi cuddled into my long raven hair, and I had actually fallen asleep that night. My head buried into his chest.

"Rahi." Levi snapped his fingers in front of my face, as I blinked again and looked at him. He had a look of slight concern, annoyance and gentleness. It was odd, seeing him soften for me once and a while... Which is like... Every three weeks. But lately, it seemed as if he couldn't get enough of me. It almost seemed... Clingy.

"You okay Levi?" I asked, as he huffed.

"I'm just fine." He growled, looking away from me.

"You don't want me joining the Survey Corps do you?" I finally asked, as he sighed in defeat, which was another rare thing.

"I've only had you for five years..." He began, as Levi looked at me with sad eyes. They were the saddest I've ever seen them.

"But you're the only person I can protect with out you dying in vain. I can bury you when you're old. I can take you to school. Teach you things. Watch you turn into a scholar rather than a warrior. Over the years, I find myself wanting to give you guidance, and teach you to finally live a life not held down by these Titans. I... I want to be there for you. I want to be there for many things because I know I won't allow myself to be swallowed... Not while I fight for the fight of others that have died on my behalf. I want to see you live Ensrahi Ackerman. I want to see you live something other than the life I had." He explained solemnly. It sounded more fatherish than ever. I smiled.

"Should I start calling you Dad from now on?" I teased as I actually saw a tint of red in his cheeks.

"Fuck no." He retorted, looking away in a huff.

"Love you too... Dad." I sighed, leaning on him. I felt Levi nuzzle into my hair before falling asleep. Eventually, I drifted off as well. But not before I pulled out a small leather note book and noted the positions of the stars tonight with out bothering Levi.
