levi's daughter (eren x reader)

004

i would be lying if i said i didn't have feelings for eren. even after two grueling and harsh years, i still liked him. i became really close friends with him, even became friends with his friends. i tried so hard to get him out of my mind. the only person who knew was sasha and aunt hanji.

believe me in the letters i had sent back to my aunt exaggerated the way i felt about him. i was vexed. none of my previous crushes had gone one for this one. sure i had a small crush on bertholdt and reiner but they all faded away. eren was the one i truly liked.

even after graduation i still liked him. it annoyed me. how was i supposed to get him out of my mind? this was actually insane.

it wasn't until after the graduation ceremony, the celebration, that i realized that i actually loved him.

liking someone and loving someone are two completely different things, although they feel quite similar to each other.

the graduates of the 104th group were drinking and laughing and talking amongst themselves.

"soo (y/n) what regiment are you gonna join?" connie asked.

"you can join the military police! you were 1st in our class. i'm so envious of you" mina said.

"i'm actually gonna join the scouting regiment" i confessed to the class. i had kept my intentions hidden away from my classmates. no one really knew what was of my past or where i grew up.

"are you seriously gonna join the scouting regiment?" jean yelled across the room, "you're like that suicidal maniac eren."

"what was that?" eren perked up and yelled at jeans direction.

"yeah, you heard me, suicidal brat" jean said, "i'm gonna live within the safety of the walls"

"i'm sure you'd do just fine. everyone in the military police are ignorant brats like you," i said. a wave of silence rushed over the room. everyone stopped drinking and looked up at me.

"what did you just say?" he said, looking at me.

"i said what i said. your ignorance will help you fit in with the rest of the MPs just fine."

"and what makes you think that the scouts are any different"

"well, as my uncle used to say to me, 'humanity cannot win against the enemy unless you learn more about the enemy'. i don't care if i risk my life, i'm not going to sit around like a duck and wait for titans to break through another wall," i smiled at jean and walked out of the door, needing the fresh air.

i sat down on the stone steps, staring at the stars in the sky. i remember watching the stars with father, uncle furlan, and auntie isabel. they would always talk about the future, and how they would get through the scouting regiment and grow old together and watch me marry. if only they knew that it wouldn't happen.

i heard footsteps behind me and i turned around, it was eren, mikasa, and armin. they all sat down next to me.

"i find you brave for wanting to join the scouting regiment" armin said.

"please don't tell me that they three of you have come out to nag me too" i sighed.

"nope, we're here to tell you that we are gonna join the scouting regiment too. i gave out this whole speech to jean when you left" eren said.

"i'm sure the four of us will do great in the scouting regiment" mikasa said as she patted my shoulder.

"i am quite curious as to who your uncle is" armin said.

"well, he's not technically my uncle by blood, but i would consider him my uncle in a way"

"who is he? is it in the scouting regiment?"

"yes, he's the commander"

"what the-"

"(y/n) why didn't you tell us sooner?"

"well i figured that you guys would find out eventually"

"now i am curious as to who you are and where you came from"

i summarized my life story for them. i had grown up in the underground city, uncle erwin came and arrested my father. he took us up and my father went though scout training with my aunt and uncle. i would be stuck around the base basically doing nothing and i learned how to use the maneuvering gear and my decision to join the military as well.
