After two days of traveling they were back in the all familiar town that (first) had taken refuge in, it was here that she was going to part ways with them, Levi felt his chest tighten as they got closer he didn't want her to leave them he wanted her to stay with them, be apart of the group and come out of that shell that she had created more. His mind went back to the time spent back at the abandoned lodge in the woods when she had hugged him to comfort him after a nightmare which was something that had knocked the breath out of him.

They all stood outside of the building that she was living in, even though they had spent only a week together Levi felt something for the girl, a feeling that he had never experienced before. It was a strong feeling, he wanted to spend every minute of every day by her side, he wanted to challenge her and show that she was not the monster that she believed she was. 

She said her goodbyes to the others, Levi instructed them to walk ahead of them and they obeyed. Levi coughed to clear his throat shoving his hands in his pockets. ''I guess, this is goodbye then?''

''It's for your safety and the safety of your group, please understand that'' She spoke, Levi nodded. He did understand it just that he didn't want to believe it. ''Stay safe, okay?'' he almost felt as if he was pleading with her, she nodded pulling out her walkie talkie, ''If you need me this will be turned on, I'll keep in on radio through when you get back'' 

Levi nodded before walking over towards her wrapping his arms around her small frame, this time she responded. They stayed joined together for what felt like a lifetime. They both pulled away and awkward silence filling the air, Levi felt the unmistakable twinge of his heart this time acting on impulse he cupped her face between his hands place a small kiss on her lips. Again, acting on impulse he kissed her again only this time there was more passion and she responded by kissing him back with the same amount passion as he had instigated. 

''Stay safe'' he repeated again, ''You too'' 

~*~

You watched as his figure started to get smaller the more he walked, one side of you wanted to run after him, stay with him, explore this new side of you. But, you had to stay for his safety and for the others. Your fingertips ghosted over your lips, why? Why did he do that? Why did you like it?

Again unanswered questions.

You shimmed up the drainpipe, opening the window and climbing inside your (E/C) orbs taking in the all so familiar surroundings. It would be welcoming to you seven days ago but now, it was almost painful to be back, painfully quiet. You had grown accustomed to being around people once again, learning how to cope and deal with them in ways that were not either harmful or deadly. Pulling the wardrobe away from the wall to check your supplies, they were running low - not enough to survive the winter. 

Right now foraging for supplies was not on your mind, he was. It's for the best, is what you keep telling yourself hoping that it would ease the unfamiliar feeling that you had in your chest. Placing yourself on the windowsill you leaned against the cold glass, the walkie clutched in your left hand. Soon half an hour had past, it didn't take them that long to get back it was a ten minute walk at least, he hadn't radio through so he shouldn't of had any problems.

''(First)!'' Levi's franic calling from the walkie filled the deadly silent room. ''Levi? Levi what's wrong?'' 

''The Titans, they are here!'' 

Without thinking twice you grabbed the weapons closest to you and leapt from the window - ''I'm on my way!''

~*~

Levi let the walkie fall to his side, looking up his steel eyes landed on the figures that surrounded them. ''She's on her way'' 

''Good'' the man let out a sinister chuckle, before turning to face his fellow gang members ''Now, when she arrives - capture her, harm her yes, but do not kill her''

''Okay, I've done my bit now let them go'' Levi spoke through gritted teeth as he motioned to the rest of the camp, if he hadn't of been threatened with their lives he wouldn't of called her over. He had tried everything in his power to send them off, even offering to take them to her but they didn't budge - he didn't want to risk her life, but he believed in her strength, her ability to move around undetected.

As promised the men move their guns away from the camp and move into a different formation, gaining maximum coverage as he watched them move. ''Military trained'' he heard Erwin mutter under his breath, Levi nodded slightly indicating that he heard. ''Do you think she will come?'' Erwin spoke. ''She will, she saved our asses countless times while traveling - Even taking a bullet to ensure our safety'' 

''This is different Levi, she isn't with the group, what makes you think she will risk her life?'' 

''I believe in her'' 

The minutes seemed to tock by at an excruciatingly slow pace causing the Titan gang members to become agitated. The leader of the pack grabbed on of the smaller children holding the barrel of the gun to her head. ''Where. Is. She'' he angrily spat at Levi, ''I called her she should be here anytime now. Please let the girl go''   

''That was twenty minutes ago, if you think for one second that -'' He didn't even finish his sentence when his body slumped to the ground, no one had time to register the knife that was now stuck inside his skull. As Levi pulled the girl away from the body he looked up to find (First) in battle position, two knifes in either hand.

''What are you waiting for shoot her!'' One cried as he aimed his gun but, she was faster his throat was slit before he even had his finger on the trigger. (first) pulled the body in front of her using it as a human shield as the others shot at her, propelling herself forward she threw both knifes them both landing with deadly accuracy into the skulls of two other gang members. Two members remaining.

The two remaining began to panic and sloppily aimed bullets were fired, (first) even had the balls to walk towards them - one bullet was shot directly towards her. ''Look out!'' Levi didn't even need to tell her as the sound of metal hitting metal was heard, he looked on wide eyed and mouth slightly agape, she just deflected a bullet with a knife - the same knife that was now imbedded into his skull. 

''M-monster!'' 

(First) didn't waste no time in killing him making swift work of it. Lifeless corpses now littered the floor, Levi slowly approached (First) her inner soldier was now coming out to play and he wasn't sure how she would react. ''(First)'' he spoke gently causing her to look up at him, her eyes were cold and merciless. ''(First)'' Levi called out again, her eyes changed as she snapped out of her somewhat trance like state. She looked around the scene, letting out an inaudible shaky breath as she came down from the adrenaline rush. 

''Is everyone alright?'' 

''Nobody was harmed'' She nodded and began to remove the blades from the now dead men, ''The gunshots are going to attract the undead, we need to move. Now'' 

''W-what?, we can't just move we're will we go?'' Erwin spoke, ''The apartment building that I have taken refuge in has plenty of rooms, all that needs doing is that the barricade needs to be taken down and replaces with a chain and a lock, pretty sure I can find one somewhere'' 

''We can't just leave!'' Someone spoke from the back, ''Do you want to be eaten alive by walkers?'' Silence. ''I thought so'' As everyone got to work with the packing of the supplies, Levi stood by her side leaning slightly to lower his voice, ''Why are you doing this?''

''It's my fault you are in this mess, it's only fair that I get you out of it'' 

''But -''

''But nothing Levi, you people are crazy thinking that you can survive the winter exposed like this anyway. Now shut up and help pack''

~*~

The packing was taking longer than what you would of wanted, luckily for them only a few walkers had stumbled upon the camp they were easy to take down. ''How much longer?'' you asked Erwin who was stood monitoring the group, ''Only another ten minutes or so, not long'' you nodded in acknowledgement. ''I need to take a few people with me to remove the barricade, who do you suggest?'' 

''Take some of the younger ones with you and Levi he seems to be able to work with you well'' Erwin called over three of the younger ones over - if you could say younger as they were the same age as you. They introduced themselves as Eren, Armin and Mikasa, nodding you turn your attention to the clearing that you entered from. ''We need to move quickly to take the barrier down so that you guys can enter easily, you don't so happen to have a chain and a lock do you?'' 

Erwin shook his head, was a shot in the dark you weren't expecting him to have one. 

You and your small team left making your way back to the town at a fast pace, this job had to be done quickly in time for the arrive of the group their was at least twenty people and with their supplies there was enough to last the winter and far into the spring. ''There isn't any time for you to rest, we need to move this''

They nodded and began to move the debris that you had piled up at the gate. Shimming up the drainpipe and headed into your room and pulled out a map of the town, rapidly your eyes glanced over the slightly aged paper. Your finger stopped when you spotted the locksmith that was only a few streets away. 

Leaping from the window, ''Stay here keep up the work, I need to do a little shopping'' taking into a sprint, you expertly moved around the town, coming to a sliding stop when you reached the door of the locksmiths. Everything was still stocked to the brim with different locks of all different sizes, selecting one of the largest you could find you stuffed it into the pocket of your jacket, taking another one for the basement as well. The locks came with two keys one that you will have, the other you will give to Erwin. 

Chain, where could you get one from? There had to be one lying around somewhere. After scouring the locksmith and coming up empty handed. Pulling out the map there was a mechanics not far from where you was, it was worth a shot. Taking off once again into a sprint you made quick work of getting to the mechanics, luck seemed to be on your side when you spotted a chain that would work.

Everyone was waiting for you when you returned, you motioned for them all to get inside and pick an empty room, to place the supplies in the basement for safe keeping, as the last person entered you closed the gate and locked it. You tossed a pair of keys to Erwin before settling down in your room.

You rubbed at your temples to try and bite back the impending headache, all that you could hear was the sound of footsteps and people everywhere, you weren't used to this but it looked like you had to choice it would be something that you would have to adapt to. A rapping sound brings you back to your senses, "What?" 

"Can I come in" Levi's voice came through slightly muffed by the door, you gave the okay for him to enter. He closed the door with a soft click and sat himself in front of you, one had came to rest on your knee he gave it a light squeeze. "Are you okay?" 

"I'm fine, what about you?" 

"Tired, exhausted, shattered and any other word you can used to describe the fact that I have no fucking energy left whatsoever" his head hung low to emphasise his point, he looked as tired as he described with dark bags under his eyes. Your hand came to rest if the top of his, his hand turned so that he could lace his fingers with yours. 

"I'm sorry, I had no choice they threaten the group I had to call you or they were going to kill everyone"

"Levi, there is nothing for you to apologise for. You did what was best for the group, it had to be done" 

He shook his head, "No, it didn't. If only I had more of a backbone. To put a bullet between their eyes" you sat up onto your knees. "No, don't you dare. You have lived your life in this shit hole of a world with clean hands I will not allow you to dirty them because of me. I will not allow it."

"But-"

You place your finger to his lips, "but nothing Levi, but nothing" Levi's body relaxed in defeat, he lazily nodded his head. "You need to rest" 

"Only if you rest as well" you sighed there was no getting out of this, you nodded pulling the blanket that was left discarded on the floor, Levi took it from you and proceeded to wrap it around the both of you as he pulled you down to lie with him. It wasn't long before Levi drifted into sleep one of his arms wrapped tightly around your waist. You stared at the wall sleep had evaded you once again, ever since you had traveled with Levi and the rest, sleep seemed to be a lot harder to fall into. 

Levi's breathing was soft but deep due to the exhaustion that clung to his body, you focused your mind listening to him hoping that it would lull you into sleep, slowly but reassuringly your eyelids start to drop before shutting completely falling into a deep slumber
