First person one-shot, manga spoilers

“Are you just going to stand there Levi?” I shouted, my breath coming in quick pants as I swallowed the sobs that threatened to escape my already raw throat. “Or is this your way of gloating?” I pulled my knees up to my chest as I wrapped my arm around them, trying to hide my tearstained face. The rough fabric of my pants scratched my face as I attempted to wipe my dippy nose on a covered knee.

I averted my eyes to the expanse of rooftops, shifting my gaze again to the rock-hewed ceiling of the Underground when my older teenaged cohort tried to block my view. His white button shirt a stark contrast to the darkness around us.

As much as I tried not to let Levi know how much the pounding I had just received from Kenny hurt, he knew better. I could see the faint softening of his sharp grey eyes as he carefully sat down on the red-tiled roof next to me. “I warned you not to try it on your own but as usual you didn’t listen. You’re just lucky the Military Police didn’t get a hold of you first. What you got from Kenny would be nothing compared to what the MP’s would do.”

I watched cross-eyed as Levi lifted long fingers towards me, pushing a few strands of loose hair away from my bruised forehead, which felt like it was the size of a goose egg, the slight bushing of the hairs across the sore area caused me to wince in pain. “I guess it’s good that the skin wasn’t broken eh?”

“It’s a good thing you have such a hard head. I have a feeling the wall would have broken before that head of yours.” Levi chuckled somewhat nervously, his hand that had moved my hair seemed to hover near my face before awkwardly rubbing the few remaining tears off my cheeks.

I watched as Levi’s eyes shifted from my face and then away before leaning over to brush his warm lips against my throbbing forehead. I could feel my face constrict, as my eyes closed in pain, a hiss erupting from my clenched teeth even from such soothing kiss. “Too soon?”

I peeked at Levi with his eyes just centimeters away as they pierced mine in a silent apology, his warm breath spreading across the center of my face, smelling of black tea. The hand that previously had brushed my tears away, stayed against my cheek, clumsily caressing it, making me shiver. This side of Levi had me baffled. He usually threw insults or demeaned me in some way, over something I said or done, I expected that behavior. This clumsy, unsure Levi was out of character but compared to the harsh treatment I usually got from him, I kind of welcomed it.

Of course the contrast in Levi’s attentive touch compared to our leader Kenny’s rough hand, as it gripped a handful of my hair while he repeatedly smashed my head against the stonewall of our base, each of his words emphasized with each hit against the solid surface. Kenny’s shouts of admonishment from my almost failed attempt to bring myself some type of recognition rang all too fresh in my ears, combined with the throbbing of my forehead made tears sting my eyes again. The anger as Kenny spoke, try this stupid shit again and I’ll kill you myself, echoed in my ear and it was no idle threat, making me want to curl into Levi’s warmth but that wasn’t the way things worked here, you had to steel yourself against those types emotions or you would get yourself killed.

I felt Levi’s warm breath and lips on the bridge of my nose, the sensation feeling more like a breeze then a kiss. No matter, the action bought me out of my dread as the trail of kisses came to the tip of my nose. My astonishment at this change of character in the usually gruff Levi left my pain filled brain addled. Before I could ask what was with him, Levi’s lips smashed into mine, moving against them as if he was eating something chewy, while mine remained still from my confusion.

“I would never gloat over any harm Kenny has done to you.” Levi whispered against my mouth as both of his hands cupped my face, his eyes closed while mine refused to out of shock. “. . . If anything, I wanted to kill him for hurting you.”

Upon hearing his confession, I forcefully pulled myself out of his gentle hold, crawling backwards up the slop of the roof, leaving Levi with his eyes closed and lips puckered, hands holding air.

“Levi, be careful what you say out loud.” I hissed in a hushed tone, looking around the deserted roof, we were far enough away from our base and high above the street that what Levi had threatened would most likely not have been overheard.

Levi was many things; strong, cunning, loyal but the one important thing Levi lacked was experience. Levi had never killed anyone yet while Kenny . . . well I did not want to think of the rumors and if they were true or not. I sure as hell did not want to find out.

“What is with you anyway?” I finally was able to ask. “Have you been drinking?” I tried to smell the air to see if I could pick up any alcohol. “You must be drunk otherwise you wouldn’t be acting or talking like this.”

Dropping his hands to his thighs, I watched as Levi shook his head before crawling on all fours to straddle my legs. “Kenny is right in his assessment that you are an idiot.”

Again, I watched as Levi’s gaze shifted away from me and then back to focus on my mouth. His face nearing mine, to again make another assault on my lips. This time I leaned my head away but Levi still stayed in pursuit, eyelids half-closed, not about to let his quarry go. The back of my head banged against the cool tile of the roof, causing me to squeak in surprise. Levi seeing his chance sped up his attack.

“I’m not drunk, just way too fond of you.” With his confession now out of the way, Levi’s lips covered mine, his tongue plunging into my awkwardly gapping mouth as his words made their way into my head, his free hand making its way to the buckle of my pants.

************

“Are you just going to stand there Levi?” I shouted, my breath coming in quick pants as I swallowed thickly, waiting for the blade that Levi held against my throat to finish me. I could already feel the trickle of blood from the initial wound that the end of the sharp weapon had made before Levi had realized it was me.

His grey eyes held nothing but contempt for me, where once they had held caring. That had been so long ago, a lifetime ago. I have killed his men and he has killed mine, one of us was not going to leave this rooftop alive. My ears were ringing with so much rage, that I didn’t even notice Levi was speaking.

“ . . . Why didn’t you just listen to me? I gave you the opportunity to leave, why didn’t you take it?” Levi’s voice sounded way beyond his years, he sounded broken and tired.

What had he been through since we had parted? Fighting titans with the legion was a death sentence in its self. The Underground had wanted to consume us both but Levi had gotten out, plucked out of the cesspool by the Scouting Legion, trading one hell for another. Be it the Underground or titans, both would consume you but yet here Levi was after all these years. As if to show that Hell its self did not want him.

“I did show up, you weren’t there!” I couldn’t help hollering. “I tried looking for you but you were gone, it was like you disappeared!” I lowered my voice, almost growling. “Rumors were abundant as to what happen, the MP‘s got you, you were with another gang and the one that became my favorite, you were dead.”

I watched as Levi held his other blade aloft, his voice formal. “As you can see they were exaggerated, if not for lack of trying.”

In all the years that Levi and I had spent apart, I grew to hope he was dead because I hated how he had left me to be the one Kenny had taken his anger out on. Remembering all the pain, renewed my hatred toward my once lover as my fingers slowly flexed around the triggers of my pistol handgrips. I had been about to reload when Levi swung feet first into my back. I knew if I could aim the grips, the anchoring wire would --

The additional pressure on my neck stopped any more movement or thought.

“Please don’t make me kill you.” Levi’s voice was surprisingly soft which caught me off guard.

“I died along time ago Levi.” My reply was harsh as I squeezed the trigger, sending the anchor towards the shoulder that held the blade to my neck. With a lightning fast reflex, Levi deflected the projectile with his free blade, jerking the other away from my neck. Equally fast, I pressed the other trigger letting myself be drug across the tile roof to safety.

I rubbed my still stinging cheek with the back of my hand, my reward for finding Kenny and not Levi. Kenny knew as soon as he saw the bleeding wound on my neck that I had run into his former protégée and Levi had gotten away. The barrel of his pistol across my face said it all, I find Levi or I would be very sorry. I had shadowed him to an alley where he had landed in the bed of a wagon just as others of our group started closing in. With Levi after them, my comrades were dropping like flies.

“Time to even the sides.” I muttered under my breath as I headed for the two figures on the wagon. Kicking the figure in the back as I swung into him, knocking him to the wood as an oomph left his lips. The fall knocking his hat off to reveal a teenage boy with short, light brown hair, the buzzed back a darker shade. His eyes looked up at me in fear as I pointed my pistol at him.

Suddenly my vision swam as something collided with me, nearly sending me over the wooden side of the wagon. Out the corner of my eye I saw a figure fly by using ODM gear, at first glance I thought it was Levi but noticed the longer dark hair and something red around their neck. I quickly shot a few rounds at the person, missing.

A faint click sounded off to my left, as I turned my head I knew my fate had been sealed.

As much as I hated you Levi, I was still fond of you. Nevertheless, I always knew you would be the death of me, I thought just before a searing pain entered my forehead and everything went black.

So I took a snipt of the story in the manga gave it a backstory and my own twist.

OKAAAAAY SO...

This was my favorite fic of your so far (and I love them in general so it was a huge yes) and here is why:

I cant even... How did you... The thing is, I've read many many many thug-life ACWNR-universed fanfics that try to real with describing the hardships of adolescence in the underground. You seem to have built up the picture effortlessly...

...BUT THIS IS THE MOST INTENSE THING!!!! Like - getting beaten by the boss and then, when that trouble kid who is promissing in crime but he's treating you like shit usually - suddenly he turns all awkward and him not even asking for your permission, you have your first time with him because you  sorta are too scard and dumbfounded to prostest, sorta dont know what is happening and sorta... want it? I don't know if I made sense now but this was the best first-time description I've read in this fandom so far and you didn't even describe the sex itself. So... YEAH!
