-Emmryn's POV-

"Name and business," Levi's familiar baritone voice called from his office. It's been about two months since Levi and I had confessed to one another, and things had definitely changed, but not as much as you'd think. His arm and ribs had finally healed which was a relief. He'd be returning to training with our squad the day after tomorrow, which is when his forced medical rest was ending.

"Emmryn Smith. Here to clean your office," I responded, loud enough for him to hear me. I heard his typical 'come in' and opened the door to see him at his desk, his hand in his raven hair as he looked at a piece of paperwork, looking absolutely stressed and miserable. I quickly came in and shut the door behind me. This was our routine. We hadn't done anything more than share a couple of kisses here and there, but Levi really didn't want anyone finding out about us, and I was more worried about Erwin finding out. Luckily, no one ever dared enter Levi's office without knocking her first.

Noticing his tense posture, I walked over behind me and started massaging his shoulders, earning a very quiet groan from him almost causing me to pause. That was an attractive sound. But I didn't want to point it out and annoy him so I just continued my self-assigned task, working out the knots in my tense boyfriend's shoulders and upper back. It made me really happy to feel him slowly relax under my hands. After about ten minutes, he stood up and turned towards me.

To my surprise, Levi wrapped both arms around my waist, pulling me close to him and resting his forehead on my shoulder allowing me to feel his breath hot and slightly ragged. In response, I wrapped my arms around him.

"Levi?" I said in a concerned voice, "Are you okay?"

"Emmryn," he responded, his voice low and husky as I realized what the problem was, "You do not make this easy."

"Make what easy?" I asked innocently, making sure my suspicions were correct.

"I've tried to keep my hands off of you out of respect and your comfort, but you do not make it easy to control myself," he admitted. At this, I turned my head to whisper sexily in his ear.

"Who said I want you to control yourself, Levi?"

And with that, I was lifted onto Levi's now mostly clear desk and his lips fervently found mine. I responded eagerly, moving my lips in sync with his. Levi's hands began to wander, before resting on my hips and pulling me to the edge of the desk and flush against his body. He began to grind against me, allowing me to feel his rather large erection through his black dress pants. I moaned involuntarily in response, and Levi took full opportunity of this, shoving his tongue into my mouth and dominating me there, exploring every inch of my mouth.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, tugging at his hair as our tongues danced, and I grinded my hips against his erection, earning a low moan from my usually stoic captain. After several minutes of this, we both separated slightly to breathe. Both of us were panting pretty heavily at this point as our eyes met. His steel gray eyes were full of lust and admiration, and I had to restrain myself from begging him to take me right there on his desk.

"Emmryn," he said my name, his voice thick with lust but also sounded a bit strained, "As much as I want this, here is not a good place for it." Let's see how strong his resolve is about this. I untangled one of my hands from his hair and moved it over his erection, stroking it through the black cloth.

"Are you sure about that, Levi?" I asked, purring his name sexually as I stroked a bit more firmly earning another moan from him before he caught himself and glared at me, grabbing my hand and moving it to his chest.

"Emmryn, stop it," he ordered in his usual authoritative tone, "I'm not having our first time be on my desk. It'd make too big of a mess."

"So that's the only issue you have with this, Levi?" An unexpected voice demanded, sounding pissed. Shit. That can't be. I got off the desk and was fixing to jump away from Levi but he kept one arm wrapped firmly around my waist as I looked up to see none other than… Erwin… Shit…

"Do you need something, Eyebrows?" Levi asked, his bored tone returning and his face as stoic as ever. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure I was becoming a tomato.

"Well, I did need some paperwork, but now I think I more so need an explanation of what the hell you were doing with my baby sister," Erwin responded, glaring at Levi, his blue eyes blazing with anger, "And in your office with the door unlocked no less. Do you have any respect for her at all? Disregarding the obvious issues by being with one of your subordinates, the age gap between you two is also completely inappropriate."

I rolled my eyes at the last comment. I was 23, and Levi had told me he wasn't 100% sure of his exact age given the circumstances of his birth. But he had said he was about 34 or so. Either way, his age wasn't a big deal to me especially not after what I had gone through in the Underground. You think Friar had an age gap rule? That would be a hell no!

"No one enters my office without knocking, Eyebrows. Plus what I do in my office is none of your damn business as long as my work gets done on time," Levi stated simply with an eyebrow raised, "Also, I do believe Emmryn is an adult and can make her own decisions. I've done nothing wrong here." With that last statement, I thought my brother might actually combust, so I stepped in taking a deep breath and walking up to my older brother and looking at him.

"Erwin," I said calmly despite my irritation with Erwin's accusations, getting his attention as he looked down to meet my eyes, his filled with concern and a now-muted anger, "Levi didn't force me to do anything. We've been together for a couple of months now, and he's never tried to do more than kiss me before today. I started it, and I don't regret it. He may act like an emotionless bastard-" that earned a tch from Levi "- but he's been nothing but a gentleman and respectful of my boundaries. Please don't be mad at him." Erwin looked at me, clearly torn before sighing, trying to calm himself down.

"Is all of this true, Levi?" Erwin asked, his stern gaze turning towards the raven-haired captain.

"Not that I think it's any of your business, but yeah it is. I would protect that brat sister of yours with my life if I needed to," Levi responded plainly, his eyes trained solely on me, making me feel like my heart would beat out of my chest. He was not the type to say things like that out loud, and the fact that he had kept his eyes on me as he said told me that while he may not care what Erwin thinks, he knows that I do and was willing to help a little bit with that.

"I see…" Erwin said, his voice trailing in thought as I walked back over to stand next to my partner. He looked up at us and spoke again, his voice seeming a little guilty at the moment as he focused on me. Uh oh. I did not like that look, "Well, I had actually come to let you both know that Emmryn would be returning to the Cadet Corps effective the day after tomorrow-"

"Like hell I will!" I yelled angrily, "Do you not remember what happened the last time I went there?" Levi wrapped an arm comfortingly around my waist, but from the tension in his muscles, I could tell he was about as happy about this as I was.

"This is not up for debate, Em. You never finished your training and graduated. You have to go back and finish your training like everyone else," Erwin reasoned, his voice firm.

"I didn't have to attend the training corps," Levi pointed out, his voice a bit icy. Erwin gave him a stern look.

"You were a special case, Levi, and you know that. Your fighting skills were exceptional before you ever got here, and your instincts and quick thinking are second to none," Erwin fired back before turning his focus to me, "Emmryn, I have already made my decision on this. You're leaving in two days to return to the training corps. You've already missed some of the basic training where they weed out those who are obviously useless, but you will be there for the next two years. During your breaks you will be allowed to return to our home-"

SLAPPPPP!

That is correct. I just slapped the leader of the Survey Corps across the face.

"I think you may have brain damage Erwin. You would send me away after I was already kidnapped and human trafficked for six years by people who are probably still fucking looking for me? You act all protective about Levi and I and complain about the fucking 11 year age gap, but you would make me vulnerable to the bastards that actually tortured me and sold me to men more than twice my age. What the hell, Erwin?!" I seethed, my voice a deadly steady tone despite the anger radiating from me; however, of course, my dearest older brother did not seem the least bit phased.

"Ahem… I was going to say, before you assaulted a commanding officer, Cadet Trainee Emmryn Smith, that you would be allowed to return to our home, and I would be willing to grant Captain Levi temporarily leave during that time to ensure your safety, OR you could return here to the Survey Corps headquarters and continue your time as a Scout," Erwin stated, causing me to calm down slightly, but the idea of going back to that house terrified me and I found myself shaking, "Additionally, Captain Levi would be coming to the training camp once every two weeks to check on your progress as well as scout for any potential new recruits that we may be interested in. I'll take my leave now. But, Levi, if I find out you hurt or take advantage of my sister, I will make your life hell."

With that, Erwin left, and I was still frozen in place trembling at the thought of our old house. Levi came up and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to his chest.

"Em," Levi said softly in my ear, using my nickname to get my attention as I tried to stop trembling, "Em, look at me." I looked up to see my usually apathetic captain with a very serious look on his face, "I won't let them find you again. Just let me know when I come to check on you what you want to do for your breaks, and that's what we will do, within reason. Eyebrows is still letting me come do the check ups on you, so I will still be able to see you. You can do this. It's just training, and it may just save your life." I nodded smally, trying not to get more upset.

"Levi…" I said softly, "Can I stay with you tonight? I'm afraid to be alone." He pulled me close to him and rested his chin on my head.

"It's amusing how you think you're leaving my sight at all for the next two days." Levi's response filled my heart and helped me calm down about the shit storm that seemed to be approaching.
