Request from TheUnknownCipher

"Everyone, this is (Y/N) (L/N). She will be joining us, the Scout Regiment, today and I expect all of you to make her comfortable here," Commander Erwin announced as you slightly stood in front of him, his hands on your shoulders.

"I wouldn't mind giving her a tour," a brown-haired boy smirked to his friend.

"Shut up, Jean. Can't you see she has someone already?" Another boy with turquoise eyes whispered, gesturing to the little girl beside you, gripping your hand.

Little did they know, you could hear their conversation, despite them trying to be secretive. You watched them as they spoke, or more like argued, as the tall, blonde man next to you was saying things that were at the back of your mind.

"Cadet (L/N)?"

"...Oh, sorry. Yes?" You found it a little unusual to be addressed like that.

"If there's anything you need, just come to me. Don't be shy."

"Okay. Thank you, Sir."

"And..." His crystal eyes scanned the crowd before he called out two names, "Cadet Arlelt and Ackerman!"

Said people approached both of you, saluting to him which he dismissed with the wave of his hand.

"I need both of you to help (L/N) settle in and show her around. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Thank you. I'll be off then."

You flashed a smile at them, radiating your friendly nature. They smiled in return and greeted you before you noticed their gaze fall onto the (h/c)-haired female next to you.

"This is my daughter (D/N)."

"How old is she?" Mikasa asked.

"She'll be six in a couple of months," you replied prior to crouching down. "Say hi to Mikasa and Armin, sweetie."

The young girl threw herself at you in order to hide from the new people.

"She's shy. But in about a week she'll be fine with everyone."

"She's really cute. And she looks a lot like you," Armin commented.

"Aw, thank you."

"And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"

"I know, I've got a child and I look young," you answered as if people have questioned your age before. "I'm twenty-six. So I'm not young compared to you lot."

"Wow. I would have guessed you were about eighteen."

You giggled. "That's very flattering. Anyway, should we get going?"

"Oh, yeah."

All three of you started to walk around the castle and they introduced you to any people you met along the way and showed you the rooms you went past. You felt old around them and their friends since you're like ten years older than them.

"(Y/N), right?" The brown-haired boy from earlier took your hand and pressed his lips against it.

"Yes..."

"Jean, stop it." Mikasa slapped his hand away.

"I don't see a ring."

"Jean!"

"I-It's fine. He's right, I'm not married."

"I can give you another tour later if you want."

You arched an eyebrow and shook your head in disbelief. This teenager is trying to hook up with someone who is twenty-six and has a child?

"Jean, I didn't come here to be flirted with by some guy I just met."

"Well, in a few months, my offer will still be there," he smirked before walking away.

How cocky can that idiot get? Did he not get the message that you don't want that kind of interaction with him?

"Forget about him. He's a jerk."

"I see that--"

"Oh my god!! You're (Y/N)?! I'm Hanji! It's nice to meet you!!" A brunette came sprinting towards you, jumping onto you as a male strolled behind her with a crease settled in between his eyebrows. "AWWW!!! Is that your daughter?! She's adorable, I could just eat her!!!"

"Sh*tty Glasses, you going to f*cking kill her before a titan does."

"Hanji, could you get off of her?" Armin asked.

"Excuse me, Hanji? I'm kind of getting squished between you and the floor."

"Oh, sorry!" She sprung off of you before laughing maniacally at the sight in front of her.

"What the f*ck are you doing, you sh*tty brat?" The raven snapped at your daughter who tugged at his trousers and bit the fabric. "Are you trying to strip me?" He tried kicking her away.

That guy is stupid to think that he could talk to (D/N) like that and swear in front of her and kick her. No one would want to mess with your daughter because they would suffer from a mother's wrath. Everyone should know that you never want to anger a mother through their child. That's when their ugly side comes out and no one wants that.

"Hanji," you said through gritted teeth as she looked at you. "Who is he?"

"That's Levi!"

"LEVI!! HOW DARE YOU TALK TO MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT?! I swear, I'll beat the crap out of you if you don't stop!!"

He scoffed. "As if I'm scared of a newbie like you."

"Corporal, I think you should take a look at her."

Oh, damn. You look like you could destroy humanity with that glare directed on that one male. You could probably rip through your skin by the way your nails dug into your palm. You could definitely kill Levi with one punch as if you were an anime character. (Get it? One punch man? I know I'm stupid. Sorry)

"Fine, here's your daughter." He gripped the back of her dress and dropped her in front of you before casually leaving the scene. "It's not my fault she wanted to see me naked."

"I don't think anyone will want to see you naked with an attitude like that," you spat, causing him to stop and face you.

"Tell that to me when those hundreds of women leave me alone."

"Hundreds of women who have no taste," you muttered.

"Damn, I've never seen anyone talk to Corporal like that," Mikasa whispered.

"How did (Y/N)'s personality switch just like that?"

"It's that mother's wrath thing. Just don't do anything to her daughter," Hanji notified them.

"Do you have a problem with me?" Levi crossed his arms over his chest.

"Just don't be like that with my daughter and I won't have a problem with you."

"Okay."

"Did Shorty just say 'okay'? He didn't fight back? He listened to someone he just met a couple of minutes ago?" Hanji said in shock before wiggling her eyebrows with a goofy grin. "Looks like someone's taken a liking to (Y/N)~"

"Shut up, Sh*tty Glasses," he snarled before turning around and walking away. "Why would I like a brat like her? And I barely know anything about her."

"Hanji's always like this. Forget about what she says. Whatever she says isn't true most of the time," Mikasa told you.

"Okay. Let's just get out of here."

"Well, we've basically shown you everything. Oh, we forgot the most important thing; your room."

"Mikasa, Armin!" A voice called, causing the three of you to come to a halt. "Have you seen Horse Breath?"

"Why?"

"He put horse sh*t in my shoes, that b*stard."

"I mean, we saw him like five minutes ago. He might be outside."

"Thanks," he grinned.

"Who's Horse Breath?" You inquired.

"Jean."

"I see..."

You followed them to your room, telling them a bit about yourself but not everything since you have yet to get to know them better. They gave you the key to your room and left you to settle in. There was a double bed and a bedside table with a single lantern. A chair settled in a corner of the room and there was a wardrobe. You approached a door and reached for the cold knob, opening the door to see a small bathroom. You let out a satisfied sigh before closing the door and sitting down on the bed where your daughter already lay. You brushed the hair from her face, giving her a tender smile and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Do you like it, sweetie?"

She nodded before sitting up. "I like Levi."

"What? Why?"

"He's nice."

"I was wondering why you weren't shy with him. How is he nice?"

"He wasn't being harsh with me. I saw him smile when he tried taking me off his leg."

"I didn't notice."

"He's nice, mummy. You didn't need to get angry."

"I'll need to see just how nice he is," you murmured.

You heard knocks on the door and got up to open it and saw Erwin standing there so you saluted.

"At ease."

You invited him, standing to the side and widening the door as he walked in. Before this, you failed to see that Levi was behind him and he stepped inside as well.

"How do you like it?" Erwin asked.

"It's so much better than where I lived before."

"You're lucky. You're one of the few brats who get their own room," Levi stated in a monotonous voice.

"I'm grateful for that."

The blonde smiled at you, averting his gaze to (D/N). "Hello, (D/N)."

"Hi!"

"Looks like she already likes you," you stared at your daughter in admiration. "And, Corporal Levi, she seems to like you as well."

"Maybe she's one of the hundreds who don't have a taste."

"...Sorry about that, I didn't mean it. You know, just don't hurt my child in any way."

"I know I shouldn't if I want to stay in my current, healthy state."

You laughed softly but he had no sign of amusement on his visage. That is until your daughter held his index finger, looking up at him with gleaming orbs. This time you were able to see the tiniest of smiles sneak its way to his lips.

"Levi, will you play with me?"

"No. I have work to do, brat."

"Don't get annoyed when he calls her brat because he calls nearly everyone that," Erwin informed you, knowing about the little commotion from Hanji. You nodded in response. "I have to go. I'll see you later."

"Bye, Sir."

"Aww, what about after that?" (D/N) pouted.

"I have to train my squad."

"And after that?"

"It'll be dinner and then your bedtime."

"How about tomorrow?"

"I don't know."

"Come on, (D/N). He has to do some work."

"But I want to play with him."

"Baby, we aren't here for fun. Not everyone will be able to play with you."

"Will you play with me, mummy?"

"No. She has cleaning duty," Levi answered for you.

"Cleaning! Can I help?!"

"She likes to clean?"

"Yeah. We both love to," you said as you picked her up, noticing that (D/N)'s hand was still wrapped around his forefinger. He saw what you were looking at and snatched his finger away.

"Look, Erwin, they're like a family," Hanji whispered excitedly as she looked through the gap in your door.

"Hanji, leave them alone."

The scientist sighed heavily, silently closing the door before it suddenly opened again, presenting Levi who frowned at the both of them.

"What are you doing?" He asked the scientist and blonde.

"We were just passing by."

"What are you doing, Shorty?"

"I'm talking to an idiot." He left the two and made way to his office.

~/~

Seven months have gone past since you became a Scout and people enjoy you and your daughter's presence. Most cadets are grateful that you would do most of the work since they do a poor job and you end up doing it again. Everyone loves your daughter, especially and surprisingly, Levi who apparently doesn't have time to play with her but you find them playing different games every day. Most of the time it would be tea parties and you love to see Levi interact with her and see his soft side.

You changed into your uniform, leaving your room to go clean which your daughter volunteered to do with you. You started to clean the corridors, mopping the floors, wiping windows and dusting any surfaces. Sasha and Connie were cleaning as well, or more like messing around.

"Hey, you two?"

"Yeah?"

"You can go. I'll clean since you guys aren't doing anything."

"Really?! You're amazing!!"

You smiled at them as they ran off like little kids, (D/N) was more mature than them even though they're like triple her age.

You dunked the mop in the bucket and wrung it out so it isn't soaked before dragging it across the floor, doing a better job than the cadets that did it before. You blew a strand of hair away from your face and rolled your sleeves up since they had decided to move down your arms.

"Have a rest, honey," you told the little girl cleaning alongside you.

"I'm fine."

"I think both of you should rest. You've been cleaning for at least two hours," a voice chimed in.

"We're fine, Sir."

"What about you? Are you tired, (D/N)?"

"A little bit but it's fine."

"Go rest, darling. You've done enough."

"But I want to help you, mummy."

"(D/N), go."

"Okay."

"Sir, would you mind taking her to our room, please?"

"Of course."

Erwin walked beside her as you watched them disappear as they went further away. You were finally alone, enabling you to clean quicker. You sighed in relief, glad you were finally done after another half hour of tiring your muscles.

Your content expression soon turned dark when two boys came tumbling your way, shouting profanities at each other. Eren floored Jean, who sprung back up almost immediately and was about to throw a punch to the other's face but you caught his wrist, preventing him from harming Eren any further.

"What are you doing?"

"That titan idiot punched me for no reason."

"It was an accident. I was training and you got in the way. You just need glasses to see where you're going!"

"You need glasses to see what you're punching!!"

"Shut up, both of you!" You demanded and they silenced. "If you were outside, how the hell did you end up here?"

"Oh, I don't know," Jean shrugged.

You rolled your eyes, freeing his wrist from your grip and he rubbed the, now, red skin.

"Honestly, you guys are so immature."

"He started--"

"I don't care. I'm just going to my room and I would like it if I don't hear any fighting."

"Sorry, (Y/N)."

"You're still young. You haven't matured yet like you were supposed to a few years ago."

"You know, you make it sound like you're old but you're still young. So what if you're twenty-six? That's still young," Eren stated.

"Thanks. But I feel old when I see you."

"Age doesn't matter. I would love to have you in my bed at any age."

"Shut up, Jean." You rolled your eyes once again, leaving the two.

You strolled to your room, opening the door to find your daughter and Levi on the bed, having yet another tea party. Hearing her giggle made you smile as you closed the door and walked to the bed, where they sat, and stood by it.

"Hi, mummy!!" She got up from the bed and hugged your legs as you ruffled her hair.

"Hey, honey. Did you have fun?"

"Yeah! Levi played with me."

"Looks like you had time to play with her again."

"I still have work to do but Erwin asked me to stay with her."

"You can go do your work now if you want."

"I can leave my work for later," he replied reluctantly, not wanting to admit that he would rather stay with (D/N).

"I wouldn't think you were good with kids seeing as how you seem to be harsh with the cadets."

"She isn't at that age when she's spoiled and bratty. Or when she's annoying like the other brats here."

"Was that a compliment?"

Levi ignored you, watching (D/N) climb back onto the bed and she jumped onto Levi's lap, spilling the hot contents in his mug over him. He hissed when the tea seeped through his clothes and tried to keep his patience at the cause of the accident. He stood up as you rushed to pass him a tea towel from the cupboard.

"Sorry." You gave an apologetic smile. "You can go to the bathroom and change out of your clothes while I get you some from your room. I would give you mine but I doubt they will fit."

"Just take your a*s and get me clothes," he grumbled.

You nodded, despite the rudeness, and left your room, pacing to his office to get a spare uniform. You took out a pristine, white shirt and some neatly folded trousers before hurrying back to your room, careful to not crease the clothing. You knocked lightly on the bathroom door and it opened to show a shirtless Levi. You passed him the clothes, trying to not get distracted from his abs and the scars that adorned his skin. He wordlessly closed the door and you sat on your bed, where there was no tea spilt, next to (D/N) who was strangely quiet. She probably just felt bad for spilling the tea on her new 'best friend'. You pulled her into your arms and kissed her cheek, resting your chin on the top of her head as she buried her face in your chest.

"It's okay, baby," you said quietly.

Your eyes flitted to the door, hearing the click and Levi came into sight as you gave him a small smile. He took the (h/c)-haired girl away from you, holding her in his arms and brushing a few locks from her face. His back faced you so you weren't able to see the smile he owned.

"I'm not angry at you."

"You aren't?"

"Of course not."

She flung her arms around him, grinning which turned into laughter when he tickled her, squirming in his hold. You let a smile grace your lips; you wouldn't mind Levi being (D/N)'s step-father.

'Wait. No. What am I thinking? Shut up, brain.' You thought, fighting your mind that decided to develop feelings for Levi the past five months.

"It's your sixth birthday tomorrow, isn't it?" Levi asked and she nodded excitedly.

He placed her back on the ground and straightened her clothes for her, fiddling with a few strands of her hair as he stood behind her, now facing you. You could sense that he wanted to say something so you lifted an eyebrow, questioning his silence. His eyes motioned to (D/N), letting you know that he doesn't want her to be here while he talks to you. You gave a discreet nod in understanding.

"Sweetie, do you want to go play with Hanji?"

"Okay!"

"I'll be right back. I'll take her to Hanji."

You took her petite hand in yours, leading her down the corridor as you thought what Levi wanted to speak about. You didn't notice Hanji until (D/N) squealed her name, darting towards her.

"Hi!! What do you need?"

"Can you stay with her for a while? I need to do something."

"Sure!"

"Thanks."

You headed back to your room, closing the door behind you as you sat back down on the bed, leaning against the headboard and crossed your legs after taking your shoes off, and patted the spot in front of you for Levi who was still standing in the same spot as if he hadn't moved at all. He joined you on the bed, his feet on the floor.

"What did you want to talk about?"

"I don't think anyone has asked you yet."

"What?"

"Who's the father of (D/N)?"

You stayed silent, looking at the sheets that spread over the mattress you rested on. You weren't prepared to answer this question, even after seven months of you getting to know people, you didn't want anyone to ask about your life before you came here.

"He..." You swallowed, your sight becoming blurry from the tears forming at the brim. "He died when the Colossal and Armored Titan attacked Shiganshina. We were fleeing from our house and I had (D/N) in my arms. I was so focused on getting to safety that I didn't realise my husband wasn't near us. When I looked back--" A few tears fell and your voice cracked. You bowed your head and let your hair fall to cover your face.

"You don't need to carry on if you can't," he whispered, fighting the urge to hug you.

"No. I-I'm fine." You wiped the tears and pushed your hair back but tried to hide your bloodshot eyes as you stared at the material underneath you which seemed to be the most interesting thing. "I looked back and I saw a three-metre titan who grabbed my husband. I saw him look at me as I froze, not able to think about what to do. I was useless and couldn't save the person I loved the most when he was right in front of me."

"We all have times like that."

"He was right there. I saw him get devoured by that damn monster. But he didn't have any fear shown on his face, I could see a smile. I don't even know why he was smiling but I'm glad he was. At least, I wouldn't have an image of him screaming or something. Since then, I wanted to join the Survey Corps to be more useful but I waited until (D/N) was old enough to wander around here by herself. She is still quite young but she's really mature for her age and I'm happy to see that she doesn't seem full of misery. She was only a year old when her father died so I doubt she knows anything about him apart from what I tell her. She always loves to hear stories about him and her full attention is at me when I tell her. Every memory I have of him is still fresh, even after all these y--"

"(Y/N)!!!"

You were startled by the sudden outburst and the slam of your door. Head snapping in that direction, you see Hanji standing there without (D/N).

"Hanji, where's (D/N)?"

"I don't know!!"

"What?!" You yelled.

"I went to get Eren so I left her in my office. I was literally like three minutes and when I went back, she was gone! I don't know where she went and so I came here because I thought you would know where she is."

"Hanji, I leave you with her for like fifteen minutes and you already lost her?!"

"I'm sorry!"

"Gosh, I'll go look for her myself," you murmured, barging past Hanji.

"Shorty, what are you doing here?"

"I was talking to (L/N)."

"About what?"

"You don't need to know."

"You guys are hiding something from me!! Tell me!"

"No. I have to go look for a girl that someone lost."

You paced through the castle, looking in all the possible places she could be but still couldn't find her even with the help of Levi. A heavy sigh slipped past your lips as you leaned against the wall, your eyes on the ceiling.

"Where can she be?"

"We haven't checked my room and Erwin's room."

"Oh my gosh! You're right! How did I forget about that?"

Levi went to his office as you ran to Erwin's and hastily knocked before opening it with no hesitation.

"Sir, have you see (D/N)?"

"No. What happened?"

"I left her with Hanji and Hanji came back to me fifteen minutes later to say that she doesn't know where (D/N) is." You quickly explained before jogging to Levi's room to find Levi holding (D/N). You beamed and took her from his grip, peppering her face with kisses. "Don't leave the person I leave you with, baby," you whispered as you rested your forehead on hers.

"I got bored so I went to look for Levi. I was going to wait here until he came back."

"So, you're just going to forget about your mum and look for him? I see how it is."

"No. I love you more, mummy."

"More? So you love him? How close are you with my daughter, Levi? I hope you aren't in some illegal relationship with her." He had allowed you to call him Levi due to the time all three of you have spent together and you were able to form some kind of friendship with him.

"That's what you think," he teased with his usual serious tone and expression. But you could notice the flicker of amusement in his ashen hues.

"Shut up." You playfully rolled your eyes. "Anyway, we're going to go to the mess hall for dinner. You coming?"

He glanced at his desk, where a meagre pile of paperwork sat before looking at both of you and proceeded to walk, letting you know he will come. He shut his door and strolled next to (D/N) as you were on her other side. Anyone who would see you three, and didn't know you, could mistake you for a small, happy family.

"AWWWWWWW!!!!!"

You rolled your eyes, knowing who it was and it just had to be her to see you. But none of you stopped, ignoring the squealing behind you.

"Hanji, you sound like a kettle about to explode! Can you shut up?" You snapped, turning around once being fed up.

"You guys are so cute!! I love it! Like you love each other!"

"Shut up!!" Both of you shouted as the door to the mess hall opened. Silence fell upon the room as they all looked your way.

"...Hey, guys!" You shone a smile at them, acting as if nothing happened.

"(D/N), in the near future, Levi's going to be your dad," Hanji snickered quietly to the young girl and you shot daggers at her.

"Sh*tty Glasses, shut your f*cking mouth."

The pure girl gasped at Levi's words, her (e/c) orbs wide as she stared at him. He apologised to her and strode to a table, forgetting about the people gazing at him. You went to a different table and sat down. You didn't bother to communicate with anyone since you weren't in a great mood due to Hanji.

~/~

"Mummy!! Mummy!!! Wake up!"

"Yes, darling?" You murmured as you were still half asleep.

"Mummy!"

You were fully awake now, looking at the adorable face in front of yours as (D/N) bounced on you with excitement.

"What do you want?"

"It's my birthday today!!"

"Okay."

"Mummy!!!!"

"I'm joking, baby. Happy birthday!" You laughed as you plopped her down next to you, tickling her.

"Stop!! Stop it!" She giggled.

You stopped tickling her and gave a loving kiss on her cheek as she caught her breath. You got up from your bed and stretched as a yawn left your mouth. Both of you freshened up and got ready for the day, leaving your room to have breakfast.

"Mummy, did you get me a present?"

"Of course, I did. I'll give it to you later."

"I want to see if Levi got me something!"

You weren't looking forward to seeing Levi since you would end up talking to him and Hanji would come out from nowhere and irritate the hell out of you. And you don't want to be grumpy today because then (D/N) wouldn't be as enthusiastic as she is now.

When you entered the mess hall, it was already full of scouts who came up to her and wished her a happy birthday. A few gave small presents, due to having little money, which varied of different chocolates and sweets, and that sort of thing.

Once you finished eating, you left the building but let (D/N) stay in the mess hall as they all played with her and kept her company. You roamed the grounds of HQ to have some fresh air after all the people that surrounded you minutes before. When you reached the stables, you decided to stroke your chestnut horse. Horses have been your favourite animal ever since you were younger so you loved to visit the stables nearly every day in your free time.

"What's wrong?"

You turned around to see Levi nearing you and gave him a miniature smile. "Nothing."

"(D/N) is thrilled to have all the attention but I couldn't go to her yet since I don't have a present."

"Levi, you're her best friend. How could you do that? She was excited to see what you would get her."

"I didn't have time to. What did you get her?"

"A bicycle." (I don't know if they had bikes at that time but let's pretend they did because I can't think of anything)

"That's expensive."

"I know but I wanted to make her happy, unlike some other people that failed to do that since they forgot about her birthday."

"Shut up. I didn't forget. I was planning to get her something but I had a lot of work to do," he protested.

"I know. I'm kidding," you grinned. "I could say that the bike is from both of us. I mean, I just don't want her to be disappointed that you didn't get anything for your best friend."

"You're going to pester me because of this, aren't you?"

"Yep! But I'll say it was from both of us."

"Thanks."

"What? That's the first thanks I've heard from you. You probably just feel bad for forgetting about your best friend's birthday present."

"Tch. Well, I didn't forget about the present I got for you."

"A present for me? Why?"

"Do you not want it?"

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes."

You complied and lidded your eyes, waiting for him to tell you to open your eyes. But he never did. Instead, you felt gentle hands settle on either side of your hips and lips press against yours which is when you opened your eyes in shock and saw his eyelids in place of his eyes. After realising what was happening, you returned the kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck, feeling his lips morph into a smirk.

"Oooo~! What's happening here~? Looks like they're celebrating something that isn't for a birthday."

You parted straightaway and saw the huddle of scouts which Hanji and (D/N) stood in front of. A light blush dusted onto your cheeks as you stood behind Levi who faced the bunch with a glare.

"See, I told you that Levi will be your dad in the future, (D/N)."

"Levi, mummy? Is that true?"

"...I mean...we don't know what going to happen in the future..." You responded nervously.

"I want Levi to be my dad!" She dashed towards him and jumped up so Levi could lift her up.

"And I want you to be my daughter," he whispered, making sure no one heard him.

From here, your future with Levi takes a step forward. You don't know what the future holds for you, (D/N) and Levi so you don't know if you will be a small, happy family. But for now, you'll cherish every moment you have with Levi and remember every moment, big or small, to tell any other children you have.

To think that (D/N) having tea parties with Levi is what brought you two together.
