Your POV

"Hello everyone! I am your host, YN LN, and this time we will be in the world's second roughest prison ever. And, let me tell you, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared," I start telling my viewers, basically just looking straight at the camera in which Dave, one of my cameramen, is holding.

Tyler, my second cameraman, moves his camera so that he can get a shot of the bus I will be thrown into on our way to the actual prison.

"Anyway, we'd better get going, shouldn't we?" I sigh, nervously messing around with my hands as I turn and walk towards the cops that will be cuffing me and making me sit in the back of the prison bus, my cameramen following closely behind.

"Guys, this is Carl Huntsman and Harold Hutchinson, both head guards and cops of this prison. Could you please give us some information about the prison we will be going into?" I ask politely, and they nod.

"The main things you really need to know is that these criminals are dangerous," Harold starts.

"How lovely," I state sarcastically, and we all laugh a little.

"Yeah," Carl adds. "Just don't get on anybody's bad side and you should be fine. Probably."

"Great words of encouragement, Carl," Harold says, rolling his eyes.

Carl chuckles, "Hey, we can't be absolutely positive. Just call us if you're in some trouble."

I nod, "Alright, thank you. Anything else I need to know?"

"You'll be treated exactly as the other prisoners here, but you already knew that," Harold shrugs.

"Okay. So, I need to be handcuffed, correct?" I ask, and they nod.

"Yes, absolutely."

Carl comes over and tells me to put my hands behind my back, I do so, and he cuffs me.

"By the way, this is an all male prison," Carl informs me, and I nod grimly.

"Yeah," I state, glancing at Tyler and Dave. I teasingly say, "You better keep an eye out for me, you two."

They chuckle and nod, Dave replying, "We will try our best."

"Thanks," I respond as Carl finishes with the handcuffs, leading me onto the prison bus.

He sits me down and the others hop on the bus before we get going. I'm locked in a jail cell inside the bus, just like any prisoner would be.

"Roll the intro when editing," I order, and Tyler nods, probably noting in his brain to remind Stacey and the others about that.

As we're nearing the prison, I look into the camera and begin telling everyone my thoughts and feelings.

"How do you feel?" Dave asks.

"I'm terrified," I reply, fidgeting. "I know I've done this many times already, but it doesn't get any less nerve-wracking. Especially with how much more dangerous the prisoners get as we move up the list."

"Do you think you're going to find love?" Tyler questions, trying to get my mind off of being so nervous.

I snort, "Yeah, right, Tyler."

"I'm serious!" He defends, and I shake my head with a small smile.

"Honestly?" I inquire, they nod. "Doubt it."

"But it's possible," Dave interjects.

"It's possible," I repeat, nodding my head once. "But very unlikely."

"Well, we'll catch it on camera if you do find love," Tyler states cheekily.

I give him a 'Really?' look and he laughs. Rolling my eyes at him playfully, I glance out the window and see that we are arriving at the prison.

Swallowing my fear, I face the cameras again and announce, "Looks like we're almost there."

Tyler gets a shot of the prison as we move closer. He's in charge of the scenery and stuff, if you haven't realized by now.

Dave mainly keeps his camera on me.

Our show gets top ratings, especially since I'm not the only narrator here. Tyler and Dave always project their thoughts in as well, which does make this more interesting.

We finally arrive at the prison after a few agonizing minutes, and Harold leads me out this time, Carl following behind, who was being trailed by Dave and Tyler.

Other prisoners in the courtyard give us curious looks, some eyeing me up and down, but I ignore them.

I'm glad I covered up before coming here, despite the blazing heat.

We all walk into the main building and I have to get checked in by fingerprint and name, then the worst part of it all. A strip search.

I'll spare you the details and skip to after the search. (The strip searching was not put on camera, only the commentary/talking was.)

As it's always scorching hot out here, they give me clothes to change into that will make sure I don't overheat, which they give all of the other prisoners when they first come here.

They are male clothes, but I don't mind. However, that does mean they are a little big on me; baggy.

They leave me to change in the strip search area. What they've given me is khaki shorts with a belt and a plain white t-shirt. Of course I leave my bra and underwear on, and slip my tennis shoes back on my feet.

(AN: Idk for sure if prisons actually allow prisoners to wear this kind of clothing, but here they do. Lol, sorry.)

A new guard, who's name I found out was Cody, gave me my sleeping stuff and leads myself and my cameramen to the cell I will be staying in.

"This prison is overcrowded, is that right?" I ask Cody as we all walk down the hall to cell 15.

He nods, "Yes. Not extremely overcrowded, but enough to make a difference."

He unlocks the cell and lets me walk in first, then Dave and Tyler, and finally himself.

There are a ton of bunk beds, telling me that there are many prisoners who stay in here.

"You have exactly thirty other cell mates, but you will be having a bunk all to yourself," Cody informs me, pointing to it.

Thankfully this cell is huge, and that none of my cell mates are here yet.

Cody tells me that they will all be arriving shortly as I'm finishing setting up my bedding on the bottom bunk. They are just having their exercise for the day.

I have my own camera so that I can record what's going on with me when it's lights out if need be, by the way.

I nod and sit on my bed, Tyler and Dave kneeling in front of me as Cody stands near the door, waiting for the arrival of my prison mates.

"So, it looks like I'll be staying here for the next few weeks of my life," I state.

"Thoughts?" Tyler inquires.

"I hope I don't die," I reply, chuckling dryly. "And hopefully I don't get on anybody's bad side. In here, at least."

"We'll help you if something happens," Dave reassures me, and I feel a little bit better. Tyler nods in agreement.

"Thanks guys," I start, "I appreciate it."

That's when Cody announces the arrival of my cell mates.

I stand and cross my arms, leaning against my bunk, wanting to be ready if anybody comes up to me. I don't want to be trapped while sitting down if someone walks up to me in a bad sort of way. You get what I'm saying?

Tyler and Dave stand on either side of me, Tyler recording the prisoners as Dave focuses on me.

"Here we go," I mutter to them.

As the prisoners walk in, they spot me almost instantly and eye me in curiosity.

I nervously tighten my hands on my arms, not making eye contact with any of them. It's clear that I'm rather uncomfortable.

Looking up, I face the camera and say quietly, "I suppose I can't just stand here all day, now can I?"

I glance around, not knowing where to start, when Cody walks up to me with some prisoner, who's quite intimidating, might I add, for being so young.

But he has soft eyes. Almost innocent, even though he's in here for a crime he's committed, or been accused of. He seems to be just a kid.

"YN, this is the leader of this cell. His name is Dai. He will show you the ropes around here for 'his people.' He wanted to talk with you. Don't worry, he's probably the most trustworthy person in here," Cody informs me, and I nod.

(AN: Btw, I got the name 'Dai' from one of my favorite book series' called The Neptune Project. However, my Dai isn't the same as The Neptune Project's Dai.)

"Okay, thank you," I nod at him before he leaves, Dai standing in front of me.

Dave records us, and Tyler continues filming anything and everything around us. Sometimes even us.

Dai smiles and sticks his hand out for me to shake, "Hello, my name is Dai Coromanti. It's a pleasure to meet you, YN."

I shake his hand, my own trembling ever so slightly as I do so. He seems kind enough. I relax a little, but never let my guard down.

How old is he anyway, going back to my earlier statement? Nineteen?

"Hello, Dai," I respond, giving him a tiny smile in return.

Dropping our hands, Dai informs me and my friends (the cameramen) about how everything goes around here and who I should avoid, etcetera.

"Oh, one male you should definitely avoid is Levi Ackerman," Dai states seriously.

"Why? What's so bad about him? And who exactly is he?" I ask question after question, stopping myself from ranting, not wanting to annoy Dai.

"Levi is the male over there with the black undercut," Dai motions toward an attractive man, who eyes me curiously. I look away, face burning as I let Dai continue, "He's said to have been thrown in here for murder. But that's not why you should avoid him, as many of us here are murderers."

"Then why?" I raise an eyebrow, my blush calming down.

"Levi acts cold and aggressive towards anyone and everyone. He might be the same to you, but we never know. And he's probably the most skilled person in combat here, so it's best not to get on his bad side."

Dai leads me and my friends away towards my bunk, and I try not to look back at Levi.

What is it about him that I'm so compelled by?

"Hey, can I ask you a few things?" I inquire, and Dai nods at me.

"Go ahead," he replies.

"How old are you? You look like a kid, not to be rude or anything," I respond quickly, hoping I didn't offend him.

He chuckles, "No, you're fine. I'm twenty."

"Wow, I thought you were nineteen or something!" I comment, and we laugh. "Also, you don't have to answer this if you aren't comfortable, but what are you in for?"

Dai hesitates, but responds with a sad smile anyway, "Armed robbery."

I internally sighed a breath of relief. At least he's not a cold blooded killer.

"And you got thrown into one of the world's roughest prisons for that?" I ask, incredulous.

He nods, "Yeah. Other prisons nearby are overflowing with prisoners, so now we all go here."

I slightly cringe at hearing him say 'we,' but it's true. He did commit a crime.

"Tell me if I go too far with the questions here, but," I say, and he nods, urging me to continue silently. "Do you regret what you did that landed you here? Miss your family at all?"

Dai sighs and tells me, "Yes, of course. I regret my life choices, and I intend on turning them around once I get out of here. And yeah, I miss my family a lot. They visit me, but not all the time. It's just not the same, you know?"

I nod, sympathy etched into my EC orbs. I decide to cool it with the questions for a while, this being a heavy topic.

"Anyway, we should introduce you to your other cell mates. C'mon!" Dai says with slight enthusiasm, making me smile.

"Okay," I reply, letting him lead me and my friends towards the center of the room.

I drop my smile, replacing it with what might be a nervous look.

Dai stops abruptly, so I follow suit. He calls, "Everyone! Get in a circle with us. We have a newbie to introduce."

All of them, including Levi, gather and sit down in a circle, leaving spaces for my friends, myself, and Dai. We sit down, and directly opposite of me is the Levi himself.

Dai is on my right, with some other prisoner on my left. He seems to be around eighteen, maybe nineteen. Wonder why he's here.

"Alright, everybody, this is YN. She's here for..research, basically, for her show. We're going to go around in a circle and introduce ourselves to her and what we're in for, if you're comfortable enough. Starting with Ian, all the way back to me. Her cameramen are not involved in this unless they want to be. Go," Dai instructs, and the male on my left, Ian, introduces himself.

"I'm Ian, and I'm in for an armed robbery with Dai," he gives me a smile, "Nice to meet you, YN."

I nod to him with a small grin in return.

"I'm Nolan, and I'm in for an attempted murder. I was accused, though. Nice to meet you, YN."

And so on and so forth until we reach Levi.

We make eye contact and he says in a monotone, "I'm Levi. Pleased to meet you."

Although he doesn't sound too pleased, I can see the sincerity in his eyes. I nod once at him, giving him a small, yet kind, smile.

As everyone wraps up their little introductions, I say confidently, contradicting my nervousness, "It's nice to meet you all as well."

Some of the men stare at me in a perverted way, them being the ones I hate the most. Others just send me a small smile or blank stare, nodding my way in gratitude.

Before long, everyone goes back to their normal things, chilling and talking amongst themselves. I get invited by Ian, Dai, and a few others to come hang with them, including Tyler and Dave. We do so.

Dai is sitting on his bottom bunk, Ian next to me on the ground by Dai's feet. My cameramen are in two angles.

The other prisoners hanging with us are Nolan, Maxwell, and Wayne. Maxwell is in for theft, and Wayne is in for assaulting an officer who had provoked him. I notice Levi watching us carefully, seemingly keeping an eye on me.

Maybe he doesn't trust me yet, which is understandable.

Time seems to fly by, as I already hear an announcement on the intercom system, "Lights out!"

We all rush to our own bunks, Tyler and Dave being let out by Cody for the night. I lay in my bunk, taking my camera out and whispering as I record while the other guys get into their own beds.

"It's lights out, and that means it's my first official night here in this prison. I'm hoping I don't get attacked throughout the night, even though I'm probably just jinxing it right now," I laugh quietly. "Anyway, I'll see you in the morning, I guess."

TIMESKIP-Morning

Dawn finally breaks and the lights come flashing on, stinging my eyes a bit.

I barely got any shut eye, having a hard time getting used to sleeping around criminals. Like I will ever be used to being around criminals.

I immediately take my camera out and record a short clip, "It's morning, and I barely slept at all. Great start, huh?"

I turn the camera off and get up, stretching as I'm fully aware of some of the men staring at my body, making me a little uncomfortable.

I glance around the room and spot Levi glaring at all of the guys staring at me, and they all immediately back down and look away. I give Levi a grateful smile when he looks my way, and then turn my gaze to the ground.

I notice him staring at me for a little longer, making my face heat up, and I'm thankful for when the prison guards come and give us our breakfast. Glad to have that distraction, especially since it swiped his gaze away from me.

Don't get me wrong, he's cute and seems like a pretty good guy overall from what I've seen of him, but I just don't like being stared at.

Tyler and Dave are let in, and they immediately scurry over to me. Cody follows behind them.

"Hey, how was your first night?" Dave inquires, already recording. Tyler is, too.

I shrug and give a small smile, "Didn't sleep too well, per usual. Other than that, everything was fine. Glad I wasn't attacked during the night."

We all chuckle quietly, and Cody hands me my breakfast.

I thank him, and he gives me a warm smile, "No problem. These guys already ate. I'll be back in a few hours to let all of you out into the courtyard for exercise."

I nod, "Okay. Bye."

Cody waves to us before leaving, him and his comrades locking the door behind him, every prisoner having their breakfast in hand.

I then get waved over by Dai and a few others, so I start making my way over to them with Tyler and Dave in tow.

Dai pats the spot next to him, and I take a seat. Nolan sits on the other side of me, giving me a smile. I smile back and thank them for letting my friends and I join them.

"It's no problem," Ian shrugs. "We would like to get to know you better."

"Not just because I'm a girl, right?" I ask teasingly, and the guys laugh, shaking their heads.

All of the guys I hate, the perverts, aren't in our little huddle, which is good. The downside is that they begin to stare at me as I laugh, making me shut up real quick.

Maxwell and Wayne notice first, so they look behind them and glare daggers at the perverts. They only turn back to us when those other guys staring at me look away.

I smile at them, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," they say in unison, smiling back.

As we finish our breakfast, we've only got around three or four hours until it's time to go to the courtyard, so we start thinking of ways to occupy ourselves.

We decide on just talking, and I end up telling them about some of my favorite things. Dave and Tyler pitch in too, but we're all careful of what we say. We don't know if we can trust these guys to a completely full extent yet.

While talking, Nolan casually wraps his arm around my shoulders as he makes a joke. We all laugh, but he keeps his arm there. Of course it's in a friendly way, and I'm comfortable with him doing this.

Apparently though, to somebody, the casual action doesn't seem so "casual."

I feel someone staring at me and Nolan, so I look around the cell and find Levi glaring. Not at me, but at Nolan.

Is he being protective of me? Somebody he doesn't even know?

I mean, that's kinda sweet, but a little weird, you know?

Nolan realizes it too and unwraps his arm from my shoulders, and Levi's glaring ceases.

Dai smirks and mutters to us quietly, but loud enough for Maxwell, Wayne, Dave, Tyler, and the cameras to pick up, "Looks like somebody is jealous of you, Nolan. He also seems to be rather..protective of you, YN."

The guys laugh as Nolan's and I's faces turn beet red.

I squeal in embarrassment, covering my face with my hands. Nolan chuckles and sets his hand on my shoulder, keeping his head tilted low from embarrassment as well.

The guys erupt into even louder laughter, causing some more attention from the other prisoners. As if my squeal hadn't caused enough attention, heheh..

As I slowly lower my hands from my face, just enough to reveal my eyes, I see Levi watching me in slight amusement. Probably from my burning face and slightly loud squeal.

He also seems a little confused, but the amusement overpowers that as he smirks.

I break eye contact and end up laughing with the guys, and that's when Nolan breaks as well and starts to laugh with me. My hands are now fully off of my face.

Hours pass after we calm down, and eventually it's time to go to the courtyard. Cody returns with a few other guards, and they lead us to the courtyard themselves, making sure we don't do any funny business.

Nolan and I shove each other while the guards aren't looking, and Cody pretends not to notice as he tries to hide his snickers. I also end up having a mini shoving war with Dai, Maxwell, Wayne, and Ian, too.

Tyler and Dave watch while laughing in a hushed way, recording us.

"You guys are acting like children," Tyler whispers to us, trying to contain his laughter. Dave nods, doing the same.

"We don't care!" The guys and I whisper back loudly, nearly cracking up.

After a few short minutes, the guards and us prisoners finally reach the courtyard doors. They open them and let us out.

Before I can follow the guys out, Cody catches my arm and tells me, "Be careful out there. Things can get pretty rough with the boys in some games."

I nod, "Alright, thanks."

He lets me go and I walk after the guys, who were all standing around, waiting for me to come.

"What's with the holdup?" Wayne inquires as we start walking to wherever they usually hang out, Dave recording us as Tyler records around us, but is clearly paying attention to the conversation.

"Cody wanted to speak with me about being careful out here since you all can get pretty crazy sometimes," I reply, chuckling.

Maxwell snorts, "We aren't that bad."

Just then a random prisoner throws a ball and hits another guy in the face, making him fall down. My eyes widen and I stifle my laughter with my hand.

"Okay, scratch that. We are."

I bust out laughing, the guys following shortly after.

Once we calm down, I breathe out, "Point taken."

"Message received," Tyler and Dave add in unison.

We all make it to the bleachers and have a seat. This time I'm sitting in between Maxwell and Nolan, as Wayne is wanting to try and make Levi even more jealous.

"And exactly why are we doing this again?" I deadpan, struggling to let a small smile slip onto my lips.

"I wanna see how much it takes for Levi to get so jealous that he might look like he's going to explode, as I think it will be really funny," Wayne states.

"And you're using me as bait?" Nolan exclaims.

Wayne shrugs, "Yeah, pretty much."

I laugh at that.

"Tsk, rude!" Nolan proclaims, chuckling.

"Ay, you're not objecting!"

"True."

"And let's be fair, I think we'd all like to see the stone cold Levi have some emotion. And since YN can make him show emotions, it's perfect," Dai interjects.

We then get told the plan, and start putting it into action.

Basically we're supposed to act kinda like a couple, but not like one. Like, Nolan flirts with me and I flirt back, we touch each other often, etcetera. Things like that.

Nothing inappropriate! Just enough to get Levi to notice.

Since Levi usually hangs around close to this area, they decided we would do it here. Levi is just leaning against a tree nearby, and we can all tell he's watching us closely.

Nolan shuffles closer to me, and already I can tell Levi's gaze is hardening, locking on us.

Ignoring him, we just talk with our group of friends, hoping to not get a rogue ball to the face from prisoners playing nearby.

For some reason, this all seems..normal. Hanging out with these guys, I mean. I don't see them as prisoners, I just see them in a way that any friend would see another friend.

Is that weird?

Whatever, it doesn't matter. They're still human beings.

"What's your favorite flower, YN?" Nolan asks, and I turn my attention to him.

"Mm, a FF probably," I respond.

(AN: FF = Favorite Flower)

"Ah, a FF. Beautiful..just like you," he flirts, and I can feel my face burn.

I know this isn't real, but it sure does feel like it.

His face is even a little red!

A shy smile appears on my face as I look down, "Thank you.."

"You're welcome," Nolan says, moving some hair out of my eyes.

"You sure you're okay with this?" Nolan whispers to me.

I look up at him and nod, whispering back, "Yeah."

We continue our little banter back and forth, and I can practically feel Levi's annoyance from here.

The final straw for Levi seems to be when Nolan grasps my hand in his. He looks as if he's a ticking time bomb, just waiting to detonate.

Maxwell laughs, "Okay, okay, dude! Stop now! I don't want you to die!"

We all laugh and Nolan let's go, scooting away from me. Him and I high-five, and I manage a sly glance at Levi, who looks like a mixture of a few emotions. Relief, confusion, and anger.

He's calming down though, I can tell.

"That was fun," I giggle, and Nolan nods.

"Yeah, it was!"

"It was especially fun to see Levi's reaction!" Wayne points out, in a small voice so he couldn't hear us.

I snort, and the others do too.

TIMESKIP-A few days later..

We're back in the courtyard, and I decide to just go talk to Levi for pretty much the first time. Well, a first real conversation.

The guys encouraged me, and I told my cameramen to stay behind and just record from a distance, not wanting to overwhelm Levi.

They nod and I stand, walking over to Levi, who seems a little startled by my actions.

When I reach him, I stand a few feet away and smile, "Hey, Levi."

"Hello," he responds, meeting my eyes. "What do you want?"

He says that in a harsh tone, but his eyes show me he's not trying to be rude.

"I wanted to talk with you," I answer.

"Me?" I nod. "Why?"

"Because I want to get to know you more, if you'll have me."

Levi seems to ponder that for a moment before responding.

"Sure."

TIMESKIP-Two weeks in..

Ever since I walked up to Levi that day, we've been extremely close.

And whenever some of the perverted prisoners flirt with me, Levi steps in and gets them away.

I actually think I'm starting to develop a small, okay, large, crush on him.

And surprisingly, Levi has let me in quite a lot. He's told me about how he's in here for being accused of murder, but he never did anything. He just happened to have been around the area when it happened, and seems to fit some parts of the physical description.

I believe him when he says he's innocent. Why shouldn't I?

I'm walking out with the other prisoners to the courtyard, but I manage to lose my friends. Before I can go looking for them, my arm gets grabbed and a hand flies on top of my mouth as they drag me away. I try to break free, but can't as I'm lead behind a wall outside.

They let me go and I see six men surrounding me, all of them those perverts I hate.

Henry, Darin, Logan, Noah, Rowan, and Kyle.

Henry is the leader, being in the middle of them and directly in front of me.

"What do you want from me?" I demand coldly, and they snicker.

"Ooo, feisty one, ey?" Henry purrs, stepping closer like he's a predator getting ready to attack his prey.

The prey being me.

"Get away from me!" I exclaim, shoving him backwards.

He stumbles, then laughs.

"That's cute," he smirks down at me again.

Before anything else can happen, an icy voice growls, "Back away from her, Bargoa."

It's Levi!

Henry sneers, "What are you doing to do about it, Ackerman?"

Levi punches him so hard that Henry falls to the ground. He then steps in front of me protectively, and I blush.

Henry spits blood off to the side as he stands, and he glares daggers at Levi, muttering dangerously, "Oh, you're going to get it, Ackerman."

"Bring it," Levi growls even more dangerously, clenching and unclenching his fists, ready for a fight.

My eyebrows stay furrowed as I watch the guys circle one another, Henry's friends surrounding them in a half circle so I can watch as well.

The fight is brutal, and let's just say that Levi won. Against all six of them.

But not without any cuts or bruises.

They had been wrestling, hurling each other onto the ground. Throwing punches and kicks, knocking the wind out of the opponent. Blood was shed, but not enough to need stitches of any kind.

Levi limps up to me and grabs my arm softly, leading me away to another secluded area nearby our friends.

He sits me down, and then plops right in front of me.

"What were you doing, Levi? You could've gotten hurt a lot worse than you did if that continued!" I proclaim worriedly, almost shouting.

He stares me dead in the eyes as he replies in total seriousness, "Protecting you."

Blushing, I try to hold myself back from doing anything that might ruin our friendship, such as kissing him.

But apparently, I didn't have to, as Levi loses his self-control and cups the left side of my face and kisses me instead.

My eyes close and I kiss him back, feeling the butterflies in my stomach going wild.

I bring myself closer to him so he won't have to strain himself with leaning over to me so much, and he thanks me by wrapping his arms around my waist and tugging me to sit on his lap.

My arms slither up around his neck, my hands messing around with Levi's hair.

We break apart eventually and I breathe out, "I love you."

Levi flashes me a rare smile and replies breathlessly, "I love you, too."

Extended Ending!~

"I caught it all on camera!"
