The Name of the Beast.
Note: It's been years and I'm finally writing, sorry for the delay (orz.)
Note 2: Levi isn't supposed to have a name.
Note 3: I should probably get all these prompts out the way, so hi! I'm Alisha and thank you for reading if you do.
this was based of a ereri doujinshi
A few years ago, a man - well a young kid at this time was in a town, killing people. He had short black scraggy hair and mostly wore black. One day, he had killed over 5 people. The legion corps had come up to me, and I got introduced to 6 people. They were all older then the boy at the first, they were called... "Petra Ral", "Erwin Smith", "Hanji Zoe", "Olu Boza," "Eld Jinn" and "Gunther Schultz." So, due to me not having a name then. Erwin named me 'Levi.' - meaning 'Pledged' or 'Attached'.
However, 'Levi' was still unsure of his real name so he called himself the 'beast' when not with the folk. However, he became very fond of his name due to his importance. 'Levi' was now his legion corps name... a very important name - he felt really glad to have it. After he became Levi, he got many things such as: Warmth, money, authority and much more important stuff. As well as comrades and subordinates. However, them things always disappear in front of his eyes which left him sad and depressed for a while.
(QUICK POV CHANGE)
But, even so I didn't care... I didn't know them that well to care about me. In my mind, they were all just pathetic losers dying in front of me. I will continue to live as Levi until the day I die, however I know that... IT ISN'T MY REAL NAME.
I have never told anyone else about my real name due to the fact that I couldn't find a reason too, or possibly because I thought that they'd just die a few days later (or something along them lines). I also don't like the name, because I'm a horrible and terrible beast who carries it...therefore, it's an ugly name. It is something what's just left behind by the trash who abandoned me... so... it's a worthless name.
So, when I became 'Levi' I tossed my actual name away and buried it deep down in the ground to hoping to never remember it again. Along with the beast inside me, I honestly thought that I'd die when it fell to the ground because it was basically me throwing away a piece of me.
I didn't find a point of living until I met a kid - the kid was named Eren Jaéger. His enthusiasm to want to kill the titan's so bad, amazed me and I also really love his eyes - they're magnificent. However, I do think of him as a baby me - due to the fact that he looks like he also has a beast hiding inside of him. Anyway, he is just a pathetic brat so... and yet he's survived during many occasions which never fails to amuse and shock me. So I want to tease him, I called him into my office, "Hey brat." I said, he turned around as normal and replied with, "Yes, heichou?"
"I want to tell you the name of the beast I've been raising inside my body." I said bluntly. I decided to let him know, it'd be interesting to know what he'd do with it. Would he laugh at it? He probably would.
"'Beast' what do you mean, sir?" He replied.
"My real name, you shitty brat." I replied ferociously.
"That means... your current name...?" He said he was confused, his eyes wide open due to shock and confusion.
"Erwin gave me the name, 'Levi'." I replied - taking a small sip of my coffee and putting it back down.
I then asked him a question,
"Hey Eren - what's better; Captain Levi of the survey corps 'Humanity's strongest solider' or the beast inside of me which is ferociously and basically killing everyone? Which do you think is better?" I asked smirking. Eren's face was full of pure shock and gasp by now.
"Well, I'm not sure... but..." Eren started.
"Hah?" I replied,
"Eh... after all, it's you either way. A name is a name, Captain. So to be honest, I don't really care... but now that you've mentioned it i'm quite interested." Eren replied.
His answer took me off guard for a good 5 moments,
" _ " I said, he looked confused.
"This is my name." I said. However, as soon as I said that I regretted it immediately afterwards.
Eren then repeated it, "Mr. _". I gasped, hearing someone say my name astounded me and it sounded good coming out of his mouth (wait what)
It will be alright... right? To not be "Levi" in front of this guy, but to be myself - an actual beast... because were all monsters here. All human beings are. "Hey Eren, I just thought of an interesting command."
"What... what is that?" Eren asked.
"Call My Name.
The name of the beast."
END.
I can't be bothered writing the finale, maybe some other time but it's here.
