Levi Ackerman

“10 laps.”

Captain Levi had been pushing you to your limits today, and you were sure you were on the brim of collapse. His treatment of you was just a notch down from torture. It seemed personal, and you knew it was.

Your friends were confused about the captain’s behavior towards you; you offered no answer, claiming that you were just as lost as them, insisting that you could handle the captain’s rough treatment.

“At least he hasn’t fed me to a titan yet, right?”

Thankfully, everyone would laugh it off.

What your friends and the rest of the survey corps didn’t know was that there was a reason behind Levi’s behavior.

Just a few months ago, you and Levi had been lovers. Humanity’s strongest soldier had found himself a weakness, and that weakness was you.

The breakup was bitter. As much as you loved being with Levi, the secrecy of your relationship, as well as the rush of the survey corps, encouraged you to take the first step to end things. You understood completely why your relationship had to be kept under wraps, but eventually, it started feeling like you both weren’t even in a relationship. Levi, as expected, often refused to open up to you. You were understanding; everyone in the corps had their own walls and pasts, but what was the point of a relationship if he would treat you no more than a co-worker most days?

Life as a scout was busy. Both you and Levi had duties to attend to. Finding a balance between responsibilities, couple time, alone time, and time for friends was next to impossible.

When you initiated the breakup, Levi acted as if he didn’t care, the same look of indifference on his face. It would have been a lie to say it didn’t hurt to see him show such little care towards your relationship.

However, he had been anything but indifferent since you had left his office that day.

He would scrutinize you during training, somehow finding a flaw in everything you did. He would make you run more laps, require more training time from you, and make sure to humiliate you in front of everyone whenever you made a mistake, no matter how small.

You had no idea Levi could be this petty.

After running ten laps, you were beyond spent. Since 5 in the morning, Levi had been working you like a dog. Ironically, this horrible treatment was making you a better scout, but it was only a matter of time before this extensive training started doing some damage. You dropped to your knees as you tried to catch your breath, your legs feeling like nothing but jelly. Levi approached you, gripping your hair to force you to look up at him.

“Get up, brat, you pull this shit outside the walls, and you’re titan food.”
