Levi sighed crossly as he stood beside Erwin's chair during the meeting. Every time he went to one of these damn meeting he always seemed to have this type of trouble. It made him feel sick inside and want to bathe simply to get the psychological filth from his body that these men made him feel.

He always hated talking to the merchants; giving him those dirty, lust filled looks. Many of these men were straight but of course with wives most likely. But had kinks and were into him for whatever reason, he had no idea why but they wanted his ass to bang just once.

How depraved had people come that they would fuck anyone and anything that walked? Had people completely lost their rationality that they would take what they would get? He wouldn't be surprised if the whole group of wall worshipers secretly had orgy's about purifying each others bodies.

Levi was not ever going to accept or allow their proposals no matter how many times they asked. He wasn't some free fuck and he sure as hell wasn't a fucking prostitute for hire by any means. The fact that these guys even dared to look at him in such a manner made his blood boil; assuming, insulting shit bags.

These guys wanted to fuck a cute guy so badly; why not go to any of the brothels were guys would willingly open their legs for them. They would willingly let guys like this do whatever they wanted as long as they got paid their money. So, why the hell were they after his ass?

Every time they came asking for him; every time a different face with the same request. If he was honest he wanted nothing better than to cut off their damn dicks. That way they wouldn't be able to breed anymore of their poison into their descendants or the rest of humanity.

"So, I'll have my men send more gas for you guys and extra rations. Gotta say it wasn't easy tapping into that new water supply. The cost isn't gonna be cheap" the merchant said leering. His men had gone into dangerous territory to find that water supply. They had spent all night tapping into it in order to make a well so they would have a better water supply.

They could have been killed and devoured by titans at any moment but they had lived. They deserved a reward for their efforts; was a night with Levi Ackerman so much to ask? The man was a looker and a rarity in these present days. He was one of the Ackerman clan which was now almost extinct and quite a youthful individual indeed.

He swore that Levi had some of that rare Asian blood in him too. While many people said otherwise he found it hard to believe otherwise. What with his perfect skin and all. No other race of human aged as well as the Asian clan did; he had read it in files that his co-workers had been able to get a hold of.

With his dull blue eyes and black hair; he wouldn't mind having one night to fuck this guy as payment for putting his life on the line for the military. He didn't care if the guy had to be drunk to do it. He wanted to have a taste of humanities strongest; to see what kind of face and sounds he would make.

Levi glared at the merchant a look of disgust and rage on his face. Was this guy seriously asking to fuck him all because he had done them some favours? Arrogant pig. If not for the fact that it would upset Erwin to see him lash out; he would kill this guy right here and now.

Since when did he think that because he was part of the trading company he had the right to ask them for sex? What because he was sharing his stock with them he got to have a piece of Levi's ass. No doubt he was used to getting such business deals with other companies that he worked for in the past.

"Why don't you get a cheap whore you piece of shit?" he snarled darkly a menacing look on his face. What did they think he was willing to open his legs for anyone because he trusted Erwin? Because he would follow Erwin loyally, to follow out his plans for humanity until the Titans were no more?

He was well aware of the rumours about him and Erwin sharing a bed together. While he did find their suspicions amusing he had no interest in other men. These guys thought because he followed Erwin around and was his right-hand man they were fucking? That Erwin used him as a dog in every one of his deals with these guys?

He had more respect for himself than to give himself to merchants for information and supplies. Just who the hell did these guys think they were anyway? Acting like because they had found something they needed that he would willingly give them free roam over his body?

God people like this made him sick. While he respected that everyone had to make money in some way; especially if you lived in the underground. He was not one of those people. Looking at the military like animals who were desperate enough to whatever people asked for money. He hated these kinds of people with a damn passion.

Meanwhile

Eve had her head pressed against the door listening in on the meeting inside. She was supposed to be with Hanji but she had slipped off while the woman sat at her desk. Hanji got so into her rants or studies sometimes she barely even remembered Eve was in the room with her. This made it easy for Eve to escape while Hanji was distracted.

Yet again, she had gotten bored and gone looking for Levi or something to spike her interest. She had overheard the conversation inside and decided to do some eavesdropping. Though she knew she would get into trouble if caught; she didn't mind getting scolded by Levi for wondering off when he was busy.

She got bored easily sitting around and found other ways to ease her boredom. As long as she didn't get caught or cause trouble she could get away with just about anything. She had become very good at slipping out of situations when they caused her to lose interest and want to do something else.

However, upon hearing that a man wanted to fuck her nii-chan she was overcome with a sudden rage. A hatred growing inside her; a wild storm of emotions that couldn't be calmed. Her eyes wide with disbelief at hearing such things and the fact that Erwin hadn't said anything about it whatsoever.

Levi; the man she called big brother and had taken her in on a whim. The man whom had saved her from being eaten alive and eased her inner demons; was being harassed. Why didn't stupid eyebrows say something to him? Why was he letting that man speak to Levi in such a way?

Some big sweaty, hairy, lazy, self-entitled pig was trying to seduce Levi into the bedroom. Hoping to have a night with him as payment for whatever deals he had with Levi being a soldier. Did the guy have no shame or pride for himself as a human being? Obviously not if he asked for such a thing.

Anger, rage, hatred, disgust, sadness and confusion wound through her mind. She hadn't felt like this since she had watched and heard her parents and villagers being eaten alive. How dare someone treat Levi like that. Looking at him as if he would willingly give himself to them when he had Hanji. She wasn't naïve to the way they looked at each other.

The fact they looked at Levi with such eyes; filled with hunger and desire. The eyes they would give a woman of the night who earned her pay by laying with many men. Levi was not like them whatsoever. To even put them in the same category was of the highest possible insult you could give someone of his ranks.

"I'll make them pay. Nobody speaks about Levi Nii-chan like that" she thought to herself. They would never take a second look at Levi again if she had anything to do with it. They would regret the day they were even born for even having the balls to attempt such a thing.

Afterwards

The meeting doors opened and the merchant left the meeting growling under his breath. Those fucking soldiers acting all high and mighty like that; acting like they were better than him. Just where did they get off? Always on their damn high horses just because they were better off and had ties to the king and higher ups? Fucking greedy poachers.

They basically took the taxes of people to take journeys out of the wall to kill titans and lost more men than they did gather data. Money they could have used to benefit their districts went into their pockets. What good were they anyway?

They constantly needed new recruits and went through them like cattle. They were already on their 105th trainees who were made up of mostly fucking teenagers at this point. They had no right speaking down to him when all they did was constantly come up with possibilities, conspiracies and data on titans but had nothing to back it up.

Besides why the hell shouldn't he ask to fuck their captain? I mean the guy was still human and he was basically the fucking lapdog of Erwin Smith anyway. Levi was always by his side and never went against him. He had heard Levi came from the underground as a thug but had eventually been broken by Erwin.

With the way he obeyed and followed him, there was no way in hell that they weren't fucking each other. Uptight pieces of shit turning him down like that. He hadn't even been given any money as a side prize for all his hard work either. He was beyond angry by this point.

Meanwhile Eve followed the fat lumbering merchant from the shadows. She made sure to remain hidden behind him ghosting his every step out of the courtyard. Her eyes never leaving him once and taking in every single one of his movements so she knew when to strike.

Her amber eyes gleaming with a primal nature and hatred for the man. He wasn't even aware of her presence; this would be too easy and yet so satisfying. Watching him die like the dog he was. He would die in the dirt alone and afraid and nobody would even remember his name; fucking loser.

How dare an arrogant bastard like himself make such a pass at Levi like that. She would never allow anyone to taint or disrespect Levi in any way, she didn't care who it was. Levi worked hard and he was always busy; but he had taken her in on a whim. He had adopted her as his child and gave her a new life.

He was also trying to maintain a romance with his co-worker Hanji despite the chaos and duties that were placed upon his shoulders. But this guy was trying to ruin it. He was trying to claim Levi despite the fact Levi obviously didn't want to. She would not allow this man to cause Levi more problems.

She followed him from behind the pillars quietly until they reached the courtyard. It was quiet and there was nobody around; the sun beaming down on them. This caused the shadows she was hiding within to become bigger and hide her completely from his sight.

The merchant winced as the sun beamed down on them from above blinding him so he had to cover his eyes. God, it was warm today; he couldn't wait to reach a well to cool off and relieve himself from the intense heat.

It was bad enough he had come all the way here for an arrangement and had put his neck out for these bastards. Yet here he was as empty handed as he had been when he arrived. "Fucking cheapskates. Keeping all the good stuff for themselves" he muttered crossly. No wonder lower citizens hated them so much; stuck up pieces of shit.

Suddenly he heard a noise behind him causing him to stiffen in panic. He listened carefully for the person who was following him. Steady footsteps and the gentle sound of a flowing skirt. But how could that be? None of the women here wore skirts.

He turned around and his eyes widened in shock to see a very pretty young girl standing behind him. She was about 10 years of age and hadn't yet reached puberty. An air of innocence and purity about her signifying her youth. Seemingly unaware of the hardships of human life and only aware of the good life that came with the military.

But what a beauty she was. Even prettier than the likes of Levi Ackerman and oh so young. At this age, they were so innocence and yet had such a beauty about them that drew people in. Children were so cute that they drew people towards them like a moth to the flame; the desire to touch and caress them with affection.

She had such pretty pale skin and big amber eyes that reminded him of honey. Her long hair like the greenest of forests or paint used in artworks or seen in books. He had never seen anyone with a hair colour like hers in his life; it made him wonder if she was even human at all and not an alien or something.

She was wearing a dress of scarlet with a white collar (as always, the military could afford the best) that reached her knees. She was hiding something behind her back with her head bowed; her long bangs in front of her face hiding her expression but he could only guess she had been crying.

She was holding something tightly in her hand that was behind back; but he had no idea what. Probably a toy of some kind to comfort herself; kids loved that kind of shit. Toys for whatever reason brought them comfort and allowed them to convey their affection when adults neglected them of any form of love towards them whatsoever.

Could it be she was lost? It seemed today was turning out better than he thought. At this age they were so easily led and believed anything adults told them. They were so impressionable and unable to think for themselves. She wouldn't have a chance of fighting back with her small stature; too easy.

He leered wickedly and approached the young girl a large grin on his face. There was no way in hell he was leaving empty handed after all the trouble had gone through. He would have what he had come for with or without permission; besides by the time he was done and they found her he would be long gone.

Eventually he was stood over her; his shadow looming over her small body completely trying to intimidate her. Compared to her he looked like a giant while she was so small. "Hey there sweetie you look lonely. Why don't you keep me company for a while?" he cooed hungrily his eyes not leaving her.

He wouldn't allow her to escape from him, he would get what he came for damn it. He didn't give a shit who it was by this point. Levi, some lower ranking girl in the core, whatever. It was all the same to him; just another warm body to release his urges on.

He would get his payment for his trade and putting his life on the line to get it. He wasn't leaving here after being used like a sponge by those pigs. He wasn't leaving here without something that he could have as a reward for his hard work. He was still a businessman trying to make a living after all.

Suddenly Eve looked up at him her amber eyes darkening and going empty; their usual shine fading away like the sun behind the clouds. Her eyes filling with unbridled rage as her emotions flowed through her like a fire; this guy had no idea of just what kind of danger he had put himself in.

Before the guy could react, she swung out her arm so fast it was a blur and stabbed him in the kneecap with a blade. A loud crunch being heard as she plunged it into him. She had no idea such a noise could be so satisfying to hear, maybe it was because she knew the guy deserved what was coming to him.

A long silence lingered in the air as the guy clicked what was happening. Red fluid running down his leg like a waterfall and a sharp pain now flowing through his body. The man screamed in pain as he realized the child had just stabbed him in the leg. But how the hell had she done it? How the hell did a kid know how to wield a blade?

She then pulled out the blade swiftly causing an even louder pain filled shriek to escape his lips. He staggered back weakly trying to get away from her. However he only stumbled and fell onto his ass due to the injury of his leg not allowing him to go any further. He was trapped like an animal that had become prey to a predator.

Eve didn't even so much as blink and stabbed him yet again in the leg. Her blade shining in the light and red liquid dripping off it onto the ground behind her. She then continued to do so over and over, until the guy fell backwards unable to walk anymore.

"Levi…. you tried to touch Levi Nii-chan" she growled darkly under her breath. She would never forgive him for what he had tried to do to him. This guy deserved to die. This piece of shit didn't care who he took into his company; regardless of gender or age. Be it Levi or her; he just wanted physical payment for giving them supplies.

People like this deserved to die; not like her parents who had worked hard and tried to save her. Why did pieces of shit like this live and the good ones fell? She didn't understand it at all; why did life have to be so unfair? Why did everything good have to be taken away only to be left with the ugliness of what was left of humanity?

She was so lost to her stabbing frenzy against the man that she didn't even hear the approaching footsteps. His screams only causing the new audience to run fast and faster towards the sounds echoing down the hall. People coming running upon hearing the hollers of pain.

Eventually Levi, Erwin and Hanji reached where the sounds were coming from and were stunned at what they saw. Their eyes wide and disbelief evident on their faces. They now understand why the guy had made such terrified agonizing sounds. Such blood curdling screams of pain and despair upon leaving down the halls on his way out.

Eve was straddling the now cowering and sobbing male as she stabbed him repeatedly with a kitchen knife. Her eyes filled with a blood lust hatred as she continued to attack him. Her cheeks stained with tear stain marks while more tears pooled in her eyes and dampened the victims shirt beneath her as they fell.

Her small face, childlike hands and dress now stained with red blood but uncaring of the mess. She only cared about causing this guy more pain and watching him suffer beneath her. She had lost herself to her own rage and desire to vent out her hatred towards this individual until she felt better.

But Levi was stunned at the expression she was making. Pure manic anger on her face and tears spilling down her small cheeks; just what had happened to make her snap? He couldn't actually believe he was looking at the same girl who called him "Onii-chan" and Erwin "Shitty eyebrows", it was just too hard believe.

She was already mentally and emotionally fragile as it was after all she had endured until he had saved her. So, what the hell had this guy done to make her snap? He had never seen Eve act this way before since taking her in. It scared him a little bit to know this was even the same girl he had come to care for.

"Stay away from him! Don't you touch my Levi Nii-chan!" she screamed angrily. She would never forgive anyone who tried to touch Levi in such a way. She would never let him get away with even thinking such a thing. He didn't even deserve to hold the name of being a human being, he was nothing more than an animal, a beast fueled by lust.

Eventually Levi snapped out of his daze and rushed up to her before she could attack again. He gripped her arm tightly preventing her from continuing the act and killing the guy. For all this piece of shit deserved to suffer for being such a low life scum; he wasn't worth killing. That would be way too satisfying; plus it wouldn't change the worlds situation.

Eve stopped her actions and glared at Levi still not aware it was him. Her eyes wild and tears still spilling down her cheeks and onto the guy's waist like rain. Confusion and anger evident on her face as she lingered on returning to her own humanity instead of being swallowed up by the darkness.

Levi would be lying if it didn't hurt him to see her this way. No child should have been forced to endure what she had; but killing this guy wouldn't change anything or make things better. Pain and suffering would truly never go away and that was the truth. But what you learned from it was what shaped you as a human being.

This world was still rotten and fucked up; he knew this better than anyone. He had seen the worst of humanity and all its cruelty growing up. He knew how bad life could be. He came from a world where life was so bad that sometimes mothers would kill their own children just so they wouldn't have to endure that life.

People like this were everywhere and sometimes you had to ignore them or put them in their place; simple as that. You had to act above them instead of falling to their level. If you were to succumb to their level that only made them as bad as they were; worse even. He would not allow her to become one of those people.

"That's enough Eve. Snap out of this; this isn't you" Levi hissed sharply. She was hurting, damaged and she was in pain; but she wasn't a cold-blooded killer. She was angry, resentful and filled with hatred but she was more than that. God knows what emotions she was hiding within her when she acted so calm and distant.

But whatever this guy had gone caused her already fragile psyche to lash out and attack him with the blade. He would be lying if he said he wasn't a little curious to know just what had ticked her off. It would remind him to warn the likes of Hanji or future teammates of just what they were getting themselves into.

"Levi…he…. he tried to…" she eventually sobbed angrily choking the words out. How could he stop her? This guy deserved all of what was coming to him; she didn't care if it hurt him. He didn't deserve to live on this planet anymore; not with what he tried to do.

"He's not worth it. Not the tears, not the anger, none of it. Calm yourself" he said sharply. He wouldn't watch her tear herself apart like this; not over a scumbag like this guy. She had to learn that life was ugly and people were ugly; but how you chose to let it effect you or how to perceive it was of your own free will.

Eve gripped the blade tightly in her small hands but eventually she loosened her hold on it and dropped it. The metal clattered on the ground with loud clicks and clangs. She then removed herself slowly from the guy's abdomen and rushed into Levi's arms in a heartbeat.

She buried herself into his warm chest and felt herself sobbing again. He was safe, he was untouched, this guy wouldn't hurt Levi or even think of doing so again. She knew she had been a bad girl by doing such a thing but she hadn't been able to take that he had tried to harm Levi.

Levi held Eve close to his chest and stroked her hair gently soothing her sobs. He then wrapped his arms around her his eyes pained. She was so young and yet she was so unpredictable. He didn't know what to expect of her, or what kind of women she would be one day when she grew up and that did worry him.

She had become very attached to him and fiercely stuck beside him. She relied completely on him for support and guidance while being able to look after herself. By taking her in, he had become her role model and mentor but also her family; her adopted father and brother.

Of course, at her young age seeing someone she looked up to insulted would anger her. At this age girls were very impressionable and were learning quickly about the world around them. They were quick to react and jumped to any conclusion no matter what the situation may be; it was just the way they functioned.

He then glared at the merchant darkly; his dull blue eyes filled with was barely holding himself back but he was doing so for Eve's sake. If he hadn't gotten here sooner god knows what had happened. If this guy had even thought about touching her so help him.

"Get out. Don't you ever come back here or even consider asking for fucks. God that?" Levi growled menacingly. He couldn't even stand to look at the guy; sickness filling his stomach and his skin crawling at what he could have done to her. Fucking piece of human trash.

The merchant whimpered fearfully but nodded obediently and scrabbled out of the courtyard crawling across the floor like an animal. He doubted he would ever be able to walk again what her with stabbing him so severely. He could feel the blood pouring out of him and everything growing dark. He knew he was going to die; but at the hands of a child? What the hell was going on?

Levi watched the guy stagger out like an animal; staring him down like a predator would his prey. There was no way he was going to live another day after having such wounds inflicted upon him. The injuries placed on his lower abdomen were way too serious.

He was going to bleed to death in the street like the dog he was. What a fitting end to a low life piece of shit like him. He would be lying if he said he wasn't somewhat amused. He had gotten his payback for making the offer of trying to get sexual favours for him in the form of cold blooded revenge.

He then looked down to gaze at the still sobbing girl in his arms. The blood in her clothes would come out but he was worried if she was feeling any better. His expression softened but became serious and protective; his maternal side kicking in seeing Eve looking so upset.

Hanji smiled sympathetically at Levi "You go clean her off. Erwin will take care of this and I'll get you both some drinks" Hanji said gently. It seemed the poor girl had been through a lot today. She sure was an interesting one; learning something new about her every day. At least it would make for interesting notes.

Eve was fiercely loyal and protective over Levi. She had a volatile temper and a strong affection for him that was brought out of her desire to keep him safe. It was understandable mind you, after losing everything during the attack on her home she saw him as family.

However, she would have never guessed someone so cute was so capable of being so deadly. Her small hands clasped around that knife as she stabbed the guy. But the wounds she had inflicted on him had been expert level; she had instinctively known where to attack him.

Hanji sighed heavily and ran a hand through her hair. She didn't know what to think about any of this her head was too fried. Cute little Eve had just stabbed a guy to death because some shit-bag wanted to use Levi as a hooker; how frightening.

Levi nodded and thanked her gratefully then carried Eve back to their room to clean off. She was shaking terribly and he could feel his shirt growing damp from her endless stream of tears. She really did love him; but then again like the saying said "people did crazy things for someone they loved"

"Levi…Nii…" she whimpered quietly. He was ok now, wasn't he? The bad man was gone and he couldn't hurt Levi anymore. Levi had told him not to come back after all. So he wasn't in danger anymore and he wouldn't be forced to be used in such a manner by anyone ever again.

"Hmm?" he said gently his tone affectionate. He wasn't mad at her; he knew why she had done it. He only hoped that he didn't have to see that side of her again; at least not until she was killing titans after her future training and once she had grown up a little.

He still wanted her to enjoy what little of her her childhood she would have living with him. But one day she could vent all that inner rage and knife skills into her training as a cadet . For one day, she would also be on his team in the survey core.

"I…I'm sorry. Don't be mad…. I…I just…" she sniffed tears welling up again. She had just been trying to protect him from the bad man. The man who had wanted to force himself on Levi. Her mummy wouldn't be happy at her for such a thing but that man had been evil; he had tried to force Levi against his will.

Levi blinked in surprise at her reply then softened. He wasn't mad at her; he could never be mad at her. While he wasn't exactly proud of what she had done, he wasn't angry at her. She had good reason to do what she had done and god knows, he had been tempted to do something worse himself.

He was worried about her and what that man had done to upset her. But he knew that Eve was an even-tempered girl and something serious must have happened for her to act that way. But he could ask her about that later tonight when she was feeling better and had calmed herself down a bit.

Levi sighed wearily "Nii-chan isn't mad Eve. Your safe now so don't cry anymore" Levi soothed rubbing her back a little while stroking her hair. He was of course; but not at her. But he didn't want her to worry anymore and all grown ups lied about something every now and again.

Eve nuzzled into his warm chest affectionately her eyes red and puffy from crying yet still filled with tears. She loved Levi so much and she would never forgive anyone who tried to hurt him. People like that were awful and she would never allow them to get away with such a thing.

"I love you Nii-chan" she whispered quietly. She really did; she didn't love anyone as much as she loved her big brother. It was because of this she would protect him forever.
