It was a bright hot day in Sunagakure--

"WRONG ANIME."

Whoops. Oh, by the way, speaking of Sunagakure, go check out my Naruto Fanfic if you haven't!

"Self-advertising... What have you become?"

I said 'speaking of'!

Edit: Bruh your advertising skills are horrible

You and Asher were in your office once again, doing paperwork. It was a couple of days later.

"Shadis has put in good word for you to the higher-ups, telling them how you're a great leader," Asher said. You shrugged lightly

"I guess. However, there's this particular girl. Mikasa, if I'm not mistaken," you started.

"What about her?"

"Something about her makes her different. She's stoic, barely shows emotion except when with her two friends. She's like another Levi. Even looks like him," you explained.

"I'm not sure what you mean, Sergeant."

"I know about her. Her parents were killed and she was kidnapped, but her adoptive brother, Eren, saved her. Maybe that's why she's so good. Because she wants to protect him like he did her," you explained further. He was silent for a moment.

"Meaning?"

"Meaning, she's turning her protective nature into pure strength and athleticism. Her raw power is far above anyone else."

"Ohhhh."
Once you finished a pile of paperwork, you gave it to Asher.

"Get these to Erwin please," you said. He nodded before getting up and walking out of your office. You sighed, getting out of your chair and walking towards the two doors that led out to your balcony. It was refreshing to feel the fresh air on your face. Puffing out your cheeks, you rested your elbows on the metal railing. On your balcony you had a small wooden table with a small stool. On the table, you noticed an envelope lying there. You furrowed your brows in confusion. How someone could get  there without you noticing? You walked towards the table and slowly picked up the note. You wasted no time in opening it. Before you could start reading it, you were interrupted.

"Y/n!" You heard Asher call. You took your attention off the note.

"What is it?" You called back. Asher appeared in the doorway.

"Commander Erwin would like to see you."

"Oh... okay, I'll be there," you replied, messily shoving the envelope in your pockets.

~
"I'm sorry, you want to promote me to what?" You inquired. Erwin held up a hand-written, formal note in front of you.

"It was not me who requested it. It was Nile Dok, Commander of the Military Police," he stated.

"And you're going to take suggestions from him? Especially one as putting me Second in Command?" You asked.

"He said it was optional, but he recommended it."

"What will I have to do?" 

"You would be eligible to partake in battle plans and--"

"More paperwork?" 

"Unfortunately yes."
You were about to say your answer, but the note in your pocket came back to mind. You hesitated.

"Just give me a day. I'll have my answer then," you said. He nodded.

"Very well, you're dismissed."
You nodded before hastily leaving his office. Back in your office, Asher wasn't there, probably eating dinner. You sat down on your chair and pulled out the note again. You carefully opened pulled out the neatly folded note.

'Dearest Y/n,

     I hear you've been a Sergeant in the Survey Corps since you were sixteen. That didn't really shock me since I knew you had the potential. Anyways, I know you probably don't want anything to do with me anymore. And I also know how I treated you and your mother in the past.
     I just want to make amends with you. I want to apologize to you for what I've caused and done. And finally see you and talk to you. If you don't want to, that's fine. I understand why you wouldn't. It's been a while since we last talked huh? How many years? Fourteen years maybe? I can't even imagine how old you've gotten and how far you've come.

     Anyways, I hope to see, or hear from you soon.

With love,
F/n L/n'

You crushed the letter between your shaking hands, ripping it.

"He bothered to count the years. How sweet," you said, throwing the note over your shoulder. "What a sweet old man." However, your expression was dark. You stood out of your chair and walked out of your office, radiating pure anger. Down the hall you saw Levi walking the opposite way, probably to his office.

"Spar with me," you ordered. He stopped walking and looked at you.

"What for?"

"I need to tear a head off, and you're the closest one." You grabbed his wrist and dragged him out to the training fields. You threw him into the middle of the grounds and got into a stance. He followed suit. You stayed there for a few seconds until you threw a punch at him. He narrowly dodged and side-stepped. His eyes followed your close-range punch.

"Fuck, woman, are you trying to kill me?" He hissed out, continuing to dodge your many punches.

"Not sure yet," you replied, "I'll let you know." He slid against your arm, coming chest to chest with you.

"What happened?"

"Take a guess."

"Your father."

"Damn, how'd you know?"

"What did that bastard do?" He asked, pulling away to throw a kick.

"Sent me a note, telling me how much he misses me and all that stupid shit," you replied, blocking his kick and round house kicking him in the torso. He stumbled back, but regained his footing, throwing a quick punch at your face. You blocked his punch, twisting his arm behind his back. (I get super confused about the reader's age, soooooo, if I say the wrong age, feel free to correct me so I don't get it wrong again.
Edit: Past Ruby, you can't do basic math, that's pretty fuckin sad, you dumb himbo bitch.)

Levi's tongue clicked.

"Sounds like he's trying to kiss up to you," he said, twisting back around and swiping your feet out from under you. You quickly rolled out of the way and got back up into a low stance.

"But after so many years, he suddenly pulls this shit?" You launched at him, lowering yourself before popping up, head connecting to the bottom of his chin. He managed to regain his balance again fairly quickly. "He's planning something. I know he is." You punched him, but unlike the beginning, you got sloppy. He easily blocked the punch with his hand, locking your arm there.

"Don't let his annoying ass get to you. I'm not use to seeing you riled up like this. It's weird," he said, letting go of your fist. You took a deep breath and sighed, relaxing your body.

"Yeah, you're right... sorry for dragging you out here suddenly," you said with a small smile. He took a step back from you.

"Yeah," he replied, "Just tell me whenever that bastard writes you." He turned away, walking back into the castle. You let out the sigh you've been holding.

'Alone time.' You thought, pulling out the small blade from one of your belts.

Ja ne!
