*Minda's pov*

"You've got some nerve you little bitch." I kept the sword held to my brother's throat but he was the least of my problems. I knew Charlie was alive but the fact that she showed up here means she's entering her endgame. She's getting arrogant and I promise I will make it her undoing.

"Do I now? I've gathered all my peices and since all my old friends are in one place I thought I'd tie up some loose ends." She says sweetly before pointing a gun at my head, something I had not anticipated.

"Let him go." She demands. I don't move.

"Let her go." Levi says from behind me, a few scouts and run off to get arms and had since returned taking aim on the young girl.

She, in the end I knew, would force my hand. I played it out in my head and the outcome wasen't in my favor. Even if they killed her chances are that brother dearest is armed and will kill me before she hits the floor. That was all besides the point, however. I wanted to kill that little shit with my own hands, even if it's the last thing I do as a free woman. In the end I elect to let my brother go.

Charlie simply walks out with him. He was clearly all she was after and it gave me another peice of her chess board. He was her king.

I on the other hand, was furious with myself. She was right there I could have ended all of this but I didn't. Because in that moment I thought of the child I would leave behind.

We returned to the castle and I stormed inside and into Levi's office simply because it was the nearest room I had a key to.

I keep a small satchel in his desk filled with a few days worth of arms and outfits which I quickly seek out. I had to leave, there was no way I would be able to hunt Charlie down by normal means. Erwin, Hanji, and espically Levi had done so much for me I couldn't keep dragging them into my problems.

I hear the door open behind me but I don't slow my pace until Levi spins me around and snatches my bag away from me, preventing my escape. "Where are you going?" He questions me.

I grab for the bad without replying but he simply backs away. "I have to leave Levi, I can't keep dragging you and the others into this." He sets the bag down on the floor.

"I need to do this without the Scouts and without you." I continue quietly. He doesn't say anything and he doesn't need to. I can see it in his eyes that he wants me to stay. And I want to stay, but at this point, it just was not an option. Levi was obviously still sensing my intent to leave.

It broke my heart to see him like this, to see whatever fragile relationship we may have falling apart as we stood mere steps from one another. I walk over to him and gently press my lips to his. "Levi, I can't deny that I care about you but that's exactly why I have to go." I say against his lips.

It's his turn to kiss me and I kiss back, matching his energy. Within seconds a simple kiss turns into a fight for dominance. He backs be up until I hit his desk, leaving me with no further retreat. He begins to trail kisses along my jaw and down my neck.

"Levi I really-" a moan escapes my throat without warning. My sweet spot had always been the crook of my neck and Levi had made his way there. He puts his hands around my waist and begins to guide me to the door connecting his office and his room, all without breaking our kiss.

As soon as he closes the door to his room I shake him out of his jacket. He grabs it before it can hit the ground and tosses it on a small table against the wall. He begins to unzip my strapless top, completely exposing me. I remove my pendant bracelet and toss it on top of his jacket.

I begin to unbutton his shirt as my long leg begins to wrap itself around his waist. Now it's his turn to let a low growl escape I smile faintly as he once again begins kissing his way down my now exposed chest. I finally finish with all the fucking buttons on his shirt and throw it on the floor. I run my fingers along his body, hardened by years of service and the scares to match, he was simply a map my body desprately wanted to memorize.

He gently laid me on the bed as he continued his progress, and running his hands all over my body further increasing my desire. "Levi, quit fucking teasing me." I command.

"Shut up, brat." He speaks without slowing his already maddeningly slow pace. I was trembling at this point, my lust and energy pushing me to my breaking point. I wanted to make a mental note to kick his ass later but pretty much any thoughts of mine had jumped out the window by now.

While all of this ran through my mine Levi's tounge had wandered into sensitive territory. Any doubts had offically left my mind as Levi earned another moan from me. "Fuckin short stack." I thought. I hadn't even realized he'd managed to take my shorts off with one hand while the other played decoy.

Levi let his tounge dance inside me and I fell back never, even with my ex has anyone pleasured me like this. We continued to make passionate love that night, a few instances involving handcuffs.

I woke early that morning with a strong arm around me. I glanced at the night table finding a half empty bottle of god knows what and my handcuffs. I tried not to disturb Levi as it looked like this was the first time he'd seen peaceful sleep in months. He awoke anyway, tightening his grip on me as I tried to get out of bed. "Your not going anywhere." He murmurs against my body. I roll over and begin to kiss him before he trails his own down my body. I try to squirm away but have no success.

"Love, I don't think we have time for round two." I tell him. This does little to slow his pace. "Levi, Erwin wanted a report hours ago." I continue. In all truthfulness I simply want him to let go so I can shower.

"Erwin can wait a few fuckin more hours then." Levi growls while drawing me closer to him. A knock at the door intruppts any further escapades on levi's part.

"What?" Levi calls before meeting my lips once again.

"Levi open the door." Erwin calls. I give Levi a pointed look and he groans before finally getting out of bed while throwing a blanket over me. He quickly puts on his pants before answering Erwin's call. "You two were supposed to be in my office hours ago and it's not like you to oversleep." I hear Erwin say. Despite it starting out as a lie this works in my favor.

Levi doesn't have a reply for his commander or rather, one he was willing to give. "I expect a report from both of you by days end and don't try to tell me she's not here."

"Tch." Was levi's only reply before he shut the door. He crosses the room, putting his uniform on before tossing one of my old tattered sweaters and pants that I kept in his room at me.

I dress and grab my pendant bracelet before flopping back down on the bed. Levi ignores me and walks out of the room. Seizing the moment I grab a few towels and hit the shower.

The hot water relaxes weeks of tension and stress, which in turn clears my mind. After at least an hour I turn the water off and wrap my hair with one towel and my body with the other before walking back out into Levi's room.

"You have no shame anymore do you?" Levi asks and I laugh.

"Not in front of you I don't." I reply while dressing again. A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth.

I begin to walk out when Levi snakes an arm around my waist from behind. "What do you think your doing." He asks me as he begins to trail kisses down my neck.

"Going to spend time with my kid for once." I reply. He seems irritated the answer wasen't him. I open the door and walk down to Hanji's lab where Deseriè spends a lot of her time.

I open the door and sure enough there she is working on yet another of Hanji's convoluted plans with the mad scientist herself. They are so engrossed in their work they don't hear Levi and I enter.

"Oi brat." Levi calls. I narrow my eyes at him but he doesn't react. Deseriè stands and turns to face us, her face lights up and she hops off her stool and races over to us, jumping into my arms.

"And see I thought that was my nickname short stack." I address Levi this earns me a smack in the back of my head to which Deseriè laughs and jumps down. She then takes off out the door Levi and I glance at one another before I take off after her and Levi reluctantly follows. It only seemed fair to give Charlie one days headstart.

"I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone. I long for that feeling to not feel at all. The higher I get, the lower I'll sink. I can't drown my demons they know how to swim."
