The wind was harsh against my face as I swung through the trees with my 3DMG. Finally rested and relaxed for the past day, we were now getting Hange her titans. One titan down and one more to go, with the help of a few garrison members as well. The second titan was a tad smarter than the first, even though he was still falling straight into our trap. I shot the flare of my gun, signaling for the trappers to start their portion. In an instant the titan was taken down and shackled in a way that we could control him. The only difficulty now was getting back to the HQ with the titans. After both titans were captured, we all met up on the ground. Staring at all of the faces around me, a few were sad…grief stricken. We lost a few people that is for sure.
"Okay, let's gather the dead and lay them on the cart. We'll leave no one behind. Work quickly, there are still titans about." Erwin commanded, everyone nodding and breaking off to help finish up and leave. It took us a couple hours, but when all was said and done, we managed to get the titans, and those who died, back to HQ safely. We all helped get the Titans set up for Hange as she jumped around excitedly, ready to start all of her experiments.
"Ahna! Come join me tonight! I want to continue night testing with them!" I shook my head and laughed.
"No way, I have better things to do than experiment on titans." She elbowed me playfully, wiggling her eyebrows up and down.
"Yea, like experimenting on Levi." I rolled my eyes, shoving her away from me.
"I swear you have such a wild imagination." She smiled mischievously.
"You know it's true!" She joked, keeping away from my reach. I laughed, shaking my head and walking away, heading back into the HQ. Heading inside, I made my way up to the room, ready to just relax after the day's events. I sighed loudly as I plopped on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Things felt so different, yet so much the same. I closed my eyes, resting my arm over my face to block out some of the light.
"Lazy as ever." I peeked out from under my arm, smiling at the sight in front of me. Levi stood at the edge of the bed in just his pants, a towel over his wet hair. A sight I could stare at all day.
"Would you love me any other way?" He nodded a serious look on his face. "Oh yea? What way is that?" He reached forward grabbing me roughly, dragging me across the bed to where he stood. He tossed his towel to the floor, leaning over me, pushing my arms above my head. I giggled as his face was so close to mine, our lips almost touching.
"I'd love you this way too." I bit my lip as he teasingly ran one hand down my lips to my neck, slowly making its way over my collar bone. His touch was soft and gently as he slowly unbuttoned my shirt; his fingers gliding down my stomach. I squealed in anticipation as he continued to tease. He moved his face down, licking lightly at my collar bone, nibbling once in a while.
"I swear to God you are such a tease! It's not fair." I could feel the rare Levi smile against my collar bone as his hand continued to make its way farther south slowly unbuckling my belt. He knew how to drive me crazy, my hands still above my head, completely unable to do anything. I arched my back, pushing my hips against his hand, now getting desperate. Levi lifted his head staring up at me, shaking his head, indicating that the more I begged, the less he'd do. Damn you Levi. His hand continued its job slowly, unbuttoning my pants and pulling the zipper down. I bit my lip as his lips slowly came to my belly, his hand finally releasing mine. Immediately my fingers ran through his damp hair. His fingers hooked into my waistband and in an instant both my pants and undies came to my knees. I blushed as his lips kissed to my waist, but not moving any further. I looked down pouting, staring into the very hungry eyes of Levi. His look alone sent a chill up my spine. He slowly stood up, staring down at me eyeing my half undressed state with that sexy raw look he had. What did he plan to do? My boots were still on for Christ's sake. Before I knew it, he leaned over, grabbing me roughly and flipping me over, belly down on the bed.
"Better." His voice was deep and husky making me blush like crazy.
"Levi…" I whined, burying my face in the blanket. His hands grabbed my hips roughly, pulling me backwards so I was forced to stand, bent over. I could hear the zipper from his pants come down now, slowly. He loved to make me wait. His hands pulled gently against my hips as he slowly pushed himself inside. I couldn't help but gasp loudly as he forced himself as deep as he could. He slowly pulled himself out, entering again slowly, making sure I felt every bit. He was in such a teasing mood, it was driving me crazy. I groaned frustrated as he repeated his slow process a few times. Forcefully, I pushed myself against him, making him groan. He finally listened, slamming himself into me over and over rough and fast making me cry out. Lifting his hand, he grabbed my pony tail, pulling hard, forcing me to arch my back downwards. His other hand came off my hip, resting on the small of my back as he roughly forced himself into me. My moans got louder as he quickened his pace. Both of us groaned loudly as we reached our climax. We panted heavily, Levi slowly pulling out, replacing his pants back to where they were supposed to be. I quickly fixed myself, turning to face him once I was finished. "Do you feel better now?" I giggled poking his abs. He nodded pushing me back onto the bed before walking away.
"Much better." He walked over to the little table in his room, pouring himself a cup of tea. I rolled over, watching him. Compared to how we were before…we were a lot more loving this time around. It's sometimes hard to believe we were together for two years prior to this. "Thanks for cleaning the room." He mentioned after a few sips of tea.
"Of course…you had better things to do than clean for once…" He smirked continuing to enjoy his tea. "I found Petra's box by the way." I wasn't sure if I should've brought it up or not, but hey what the heck. "How long have you kept it?" He shrugged, staring up at the box on the shelf.
"It's been a while. Not quite a year yet." I nodded, fidgeting with the blanket. "Why do you ask?"
"Just curiosity." He glanced back at me making me smile.
"Don't get your hopes up. We both know you're not the marrying type…and neither am I." That was a bit out of the blue. Rude much?
"I wasn't getting my hopes up; I know where we both stand. Don't worry, I won't cling to you and beg you to make me your wife." I could feel the involuntary sarcasm flow from my voice. I didn't want to be married…right?
"I probably wouldn't care if you did cling to me and do that, but just keeping us on the same page for now." He poured another cup of tea, watching me intently. I'm not used to forcing emotions, I shouldn't be forcing emotions, yet I forced a smile before laying my head on the bed. Knowing Levi he noticed. I am not fond of the idea of marriage; I'm not a housewife type. Marriage scared the hell out of me.
Dinner time came as usual, everyone gathering in the mess hall eating and chatting. I slowly stirred my soup, staring off into space. I'm never one to not eat my dinner, but for some reason it just seemed so unappealing tonight.
"Ahna, you okay?" Erwin spoke quietly, but stared at me with concern.
"Yeah…sorry." I mumbled taking a small bite of soup. Levi stared at me, his expression unreadable, though he didn't say a word.
"Why don't you go lie down, I'll save you some in case you get hungry later." Hange suggested. I nodded pushing up from my seat and walking away. I don't know why, but I felt like laying down and never getting up. Hopefully I'd feel better by tomorrow. I laid in bed, staring to the wall at my side, unable to sleep. I sighed loudly turning over and facing Levi's side, which was still empty. My fingers twirled around the corner of his pillow case as I tried to force myself asleep. All I could keep thinking of was what Levi said. "Don't get your hopes up…" I hadn't intended to, at least not until he said something. Worst timing ever for that sentence. I rolled my eyes. Am I mad at him? I couldn't be mad at him for that. Was I sad? I didn't feel very sad…just as if my body was a pile of goop, but not sad. I closed my eyes, finally drifting to sleep.
"Levi!" I reached my hand forward to grasp him. His back stayed turned away from me as he faced the Survey Corps. I could feel myself being dragged away, farther from him. "Levi help me!" I screamed. He never turned to face me, or acknowledge that I was being dragged away. Tears poured down my face as a titan dragged me backwards, my eyes never leaving Levi. How could you? How could you keep your back to me? I thought you loved me….
The room was pitch black and as silent as the dead. That was, until I woke up gasping for air. My heart pounded in my chest as forced my breathing to slow down. What the heck kind of dream was that? Staring around the room, my eyes slowly adjusting, I noticed Levi asleep next to me, his breathing quiet and his face emotionless like it always was. I leaned forward placing my head in my hands, breathing deeply trying to calm my nerves. Stupid nightmares. I sat upright for a while, still feeling uneasy. My body was clammy and I could feel a hot flash coming on. I must be getting really sick. My stomach twisted in a wave of nausea sending me flying from the bed to the bathroom. Another second longer and I wouldn't have made it. Leaning over the toilet, I spit the rest of the nastiness out, holding onto the wall for support. Was it something I ate? Another wave sent me to my knees. I wasn't getting out of this bathroom any time soon, that was for sure.
"Ahna? What's wrong?" Levi's tired voice rang from the doorway. I groaned, placing my face in my hands.
"I don't know." I whined feeling another wave hit me. I couldn't even tell Levi to get out, how embarrassing. The feeling of a cold wet cloth on the back of my neck sent much needed chills down my spine. He placed another cloth against my forehead and I could feel my involuntary tears hit.
"Why are you crying?" He asked, rubbing my back with one hand.
"This is so embarrassing!" He chuckled and shook his head.
"Of all things to cry over…" He placed the cloth on my forehead onto the floor before helping me to my feet. "Let's go, you need to rest." Levi practically carried me back to bed wrapping the covers around me tightly. My stomach started to ease as I sipped slowly at the glass of water that Levi set next to me after placing me in bed.
"Thank you for taking care of me." I pouted, still embarrassed that he saw me like that.
"Why wouldn't I take care of you?" I shrugged, watching as he shook his head, finishing cleaning up after me. "How's your stomach?"
"Better now. I don't know what that was about." Levi slipped under the covers, pulling me gently towards him.
"Turn over." I stared at him confused for a minute before turning over onto my stomach. His hand reached up to my back, his fingers gliding against my skin lightly. I groaned as he rubbed my back helping me back to sleep. When did he become so nice?
The sun warmed my face making me wake up slowly. The room was empty, except for the fresh glass of water next to the bed. I slowly made my way out of bed, getting dressed and heading down stairs. Nearly every room was empty, at least until I got to where Hange was experimenting on the titans. She turned to me, smiling happily.
"Glad to see you're feeling better!" She waved me over.
"So Levi told you?" I asked once I was at her side.
"He just said you weren't feeling good. He said I wasn't to let you out of bed, but it's not like you'd listen anyway." I giggled nodding.
"You know me so well."
"Yea well, he'll be back anytime. If he sees you up he's going to kill both of us." I shrugged as we made our way closer to the titans.
"That's okay, I'm not too worried."
"You should be." Hange and I both froze at Levi's voice. "Why are you out of bed?"
"Because…I feel better." I turned to face him now, his stare unwavering.
"You shouldn't be out of bed." I sighed and shook my head.
"Levi I'm fine, trust me." His mouth opened to object, though the sound of a loud explosion tore all of our attention away. Staring into the distance smoke billowed high into the sky. Another titan attack? Levi shouted his commands at everyone while we all scrambled to our horses. As soon as we started off towards the smoke, another explosion had the ground shaking. It was close by, whatever it was. We raced as fast as we could, closer to the walls. My eyes widened at the sight in front of me. There it stood, the armored titan. It had just broke a hole in another wall as we neared the town. It stood tall for a moment, staring off into the town before turning its gaze onto us as we approached. His eyes narrowed and his body formed, preparing to sprint directly at us. Holy shit…
