DisclaimerXx attack on titan and Naruto do not belong to me

The first time that Naruto met Levi she called him an idiot and kicked him in the balls. Probably not the best way to meet and address your future superior but then again she had never been one to conform.

After that they had began a small fight before stalking of to their own metaphorical corners to lick their wounds and sulk.(although Levi would deny the latter) The problem was that they both lived in the same neighborhood (streetwise that is) which resulted in them seeing each other fairly often in passing, they continued fighting. It didn't matter that he was four years older because she was sneaky, sly and not at all above cheating (kind of similar to a ninja) and it didn't matter that she was smaller and more fragile because they were of similar build and both relied more on speed. Gradually however, things started to change, their fights lost the aggression even as they began to talk civilly to each other out side of the battles. They became acquaintances.

The first time they truly talked was when she was eight and Levi twelve. He had found her at her most vulnerable, sleeping in an abandoned house just of the northern alleyways. For a while he had just crouched, silent at the window he had entered through debating what to do next. He had just had to deal with a shitty punk who had outstretched his boundaries and pissed Levi of and therefore Levi wanted to unload some steam. The perfect way to do that was to spar with the blonde (because now their fights had lost their venom they were simply spars, and surprisingly he didn't actually mind) only to find the girl resting peacefully against a still standing wall within the house. Or at least it looked peaceful. He gave a slight start as Naruto suddenly whimpered and curled in on her self, back against the wall and knees hugged to her chest. He jumped down from the window ledge and silently approached her, slight confusion marring his mostly stoic features. To him Naruto, in the time he had known her for, had always been a strong able person, the kind that makes you feel as though they are untouchable in that strange way of theirs. His eyes widened as she started shivering whilst simultaneously clutching at the thin material of her shirt and breathing deeply. It had to be a serious nightmare, he had though grimly, even as he kneeled down and brought the small framed (because he was a head taller then her- a miracle in itself!) girl in to his arms before switching their positions so that he was now leaning against the wall only with the addition of Naruto safely tucked within his arms ( why was he doing this? Why not just leave her?) Apparently she subconsciously realized that the position she was in was safe as she calmed down completely and nuzzled (yes nuzzled, he could not deny the large tinge of red upon his cheeks) into his chest.

"Shitty brat"

( he TOTALLY didn't breathe In her scent like some kind of pervert)

It was undeniably awkward In the morning when the both woke up only to realise he was cradling her and thay both were ENJOYING it.

He had wasted no time in demanding what had happened to her before the streets and after much hesitation she had told him. Everything. That in itself went beyond anything else she could do to prove her trust in him.

Neither said anything if Levi started to sleep in the same location as her or if when she had a nightmare she woke up in his arms. It was just, natural. To them at least.

When she turned nine Levi taught her how to use the 3D maneuvering gear, he didn't give her a reason why but she was thankful all the same. He even thought of a nickname for her, which she was secretly happy about, kit. The name stuck.

They still sparred but now outside of their fights they actually got to know each other. Learning the simple things that made the other happy. Like Levi's obsession with cleaning and Naruto's secret sweet obsession (he had laughed and called her a brat when he had first seen her savoring a small bar of chocolate, however, a week later she was shocked but didn't say a thing when Levi's band of thieves 'accidentally' picked up several bars of chocolate (which was pretty expensive) the next time they snatched, his face had burned red when the normally withsdrawn girl had given him a hug for his efforts)

Overtime they grew impossibly close, with him starting to see her as something of a best friend despite the age difference, she acted more like a person of his age anyway. She began to go on his thieving trips as backup and for him and him alone she smiled, which in his eyes was a triumph of its own.

And then, on one of his expeditions that she wasn't on, he disappeared. She was waiting at their makeshift camp for two weeks before she gave up and turned away. She would deny it later, but she was heartbroken. Levi had become everything to her, with her past she had never been allowed or able to make bonds and Levi had been an older brother figure to her. She had nightmares again for the first time in a year and a half that night. They were worse then before because it wasn't just Orochimaru looming over her, but Levi scowling down on her as well. He told her what he though of her and it hurt so damn much. This continued as an endless cycle for five months, up to her tenth birthday.

Then she met Mai and soon after that moved in with the Ackermans, she soon learned of Levi's role within the survey corps but had done nothing but clench her fists on the outside on the inside she was in well hidden turmoil. That moment was when she swore to join the survey corps, she wanted. No Needed answers.

Her years with the Ackermans would always be fondly remembered by her, Mikasa fitting the little sister role and overtime Mai and Izuma became parental figures to her.

It was on a Thursday, when a light drizzle began to fall that she saw Levi again. He was returning with the survey corps, a blank look upon his face although he seemed to be scouring the crowds for someone or something. Then he saw he (she was pretty easy to spot with long, bright blonde hair and frosty blue eyes ) and his face lit up, he jumped down of his horse, much to the confusion of the others in his party, and started to make his way towards her. Naruto simply stood waiting and anticipating.

Suddenly a call burst from the air behind her,

"Naruto! The Ackermans have been murdered! Mikasa Is missing!"

An internal war raged within her for exactly three seconds

Kaa-san

Levi

Tou-san

Levi

Mikasa

Levi

Dead

She gritted her teeth and closed her shown eye even as she steeped back and began sprinting towards her, home. At that moment Mikasa reigned above Levi.

Levi himself was left standing by his horse with wide eyes even as blonde whirled around a corner

"Oy! Levi are you gonna stay there all day! Some of us want to sleep y'know!"

Levi, unknowingly mimicking the one who he needed to talk to, gritted his teeth and swung back onto his horse.

The scowl on his face didn't disappear once.
