Levi x Reader - Persona Of Levi Part 1

Everyone has a certain turning point in their life when a single event shapes their entire future. But in some cases, that event not only determines their future but sheds light on their past. For the past exists to remind people of their origins, no matter how painful they may be. It is that history which embodies your person in ways you yourself would never have noticed otherwise.

People say they were aware of a particular event being their turning point as it unfolded. They described it as akin to a flash of lightning, or a sudden freeze in time.

Or in Levi Ackerman’s case, a dream before the day of the event.

Levi woke up with a start, his hand reaching out into the darkness as if it was trying to grab something or someone.  He looked around him, his eyes alert for any suspicious movements. Finding nothing amiss in his room, Levi decided it must have been a dream, which he found to be unusual.

He hardly had dreams, and when he did have one, it was usually unpleasant and resulted in him waking up in cold sweat with a racing heart. This time, he hadn’t felt any of that sort of emotions but instead, he woke up with a pining heart.  Although Levi wasn’t the superstitious kind, he wondered whether it was a sign.

Hopefully a good sign then, he thought to himself. Today, he would need to acquire supplies again with Isabel and Farlan. Although they always outran the Military Police, he knew it was never good to assume everything would go without a hitch. The way to survive in this filthy world was to be on your guard – every second of the day – or you would meet your end pretty quickly.

Pushing himself off the bed, he walked out of his room and headed for the small washroom. It was going to be another long day and he needed his strength to get through it.

And so began the spiraling events that would create the Levi Ackerman that we know and speak of today.
