Petra sits in her wheelchair beside the living room window as she looks out it. It was starting to snow. Her eyes glisten from the reflection of the falling snowflakes. She drags her finger across the glass and wiping away any condensation. Levi walks towards her to offer her a cup of tea. Petra turns her head towards Levi with tears down her face.

"C-Captain?" Petra calls.

"What is it?" Levi asks in a soft tone.

"Am I a burden?" Petra sobs.

"Why do you think that?" Levi questions.

"I have no more use to the Survey Corps. like this and I'm taking away your time of work." Petra states.

"You have plenty of use, your not just useful, your worth something. That why your alive isn't it?" Levi reassures her.

"Then what's my purpose for being alive?!" Shouts Petra.

"I couldn't say, but I'll tell you that you were definitely worth saving. Your life is precious, don't let it go to waste." Levi states as he sets her cup of tea down onto the coffee table.

"Let me learn how to walk again." Petra requests.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Levi asks.

"Yes, I want to regain my use to protecting humanity.

"If that's your decision then I'll be here to help." Levi says with a straight face.

"I can't let you do that. You've done so much for me already." Petra states.

"Petra, this is my decision as well. There's no changing it." Levi insists.

Petra then tries to stand, but stumbles and starts falling towards the ground. Levi quickly catches her fall and sits her back down.

"Right now?!" Levi asks.

"As soon as possible." Petra insists.

Levi then sticks out a hand. Petra looks up at it and takes it, blushing. Levi pulls her into his arms as he carries her weight. Petra's face was red as she puts an arm around Levi's neck and shoulders. Levi slips his arms around her waist. Petra then lets out a little squeal.

"Did I hurt you?" Levi asks in concern.

"N-No." Petra stutters a reply.

"Ok, now move your left leg in front." Levi orders.

"Y-Yes, Sir." Petra obeys and puts her left leg out.

"Don't call me Sir or Captain anymore, you're relieved from duty. It's just Levi." Levi whispers in her ear.

"Mmf." Petra lets out. "Ok, L-Levi." Petra stutters his name.

"That's better. Now right leg." Levi says.

Petra puts out her right leg as she realizes she's not doing much, Levi's carrying her, all she's doing is moving her legs.

It's not a bad start I guess.

* * *

Petra looks up at Levi as he sits across from her. He pushes his raven hair up and out of his face as he reads. She catches herself staring then quickly turns her head towards the window. It was getting dark.

"I'm going for a shower." Levi blurts out.

"Ok." Petra says.

Levi gets off the couch, setting his book down and walks towards the bathroom. Petra stares at the book he set down then decides to pick it up.

"Communication is key. What kind of title is that?" Petra questions.

He had a book mark in it as she flips it open. Page 1 read, tips and advice how to socialize.

"Oh my goodness. Haha!" Petra laughed.

He doesn't need this. Sure he's bad at it, but it just makes him, him.

Petra sets the book back down on the coffee table. She starts getting onto the wheelchair from the couch and barely makes it on. Petra pants as she tries to relax herself. Breaths in and out, one in and one out. She closed her eyes for a moment as she heard the bathroom door swing open. Levi walks into the living room to check if Petra was ok. Petra's eyes widen as she sees Levi with a towel wrapped around his waist. Her face turns bright red as Levi walks towards her.

"Are you ok?" Levi asks as his hand touches Petra's forehead.

"Nmhmf." Petra lets out as she swiftly nods her head.

"It's getting late, maybe you should get some sleep." Levi suggests.

"W-Where you g-gonna s-sleep?" Petra says trying make a sentence.

"I don't sleep much, but if I had to, I'd sleep in a chair." Levi states.

Levi walks around to the back of the wheelchair and starts pushing Petra. He heads towards his bedroom door still wearing a towel. He rolls her in the room and parks the wheelchair beside the bed. He then picks her up. Petra face is completely red as she puts her arms around Levi's bare shoulders. She tilts her head downward to see Levi's well trained abs. He sets her on his bed and starts to leave until he feels a hand on his towel, tugging. Levi then turns back to face her.

"When do you think I could go see my father?" Petra asks.

"I don't know." Levi replies.

"Of course." Petra sighs. "I know why I'm with you and not at a hospital. It's because people think I'm still a threat to humanity just like Eren was, right?" Petra states.

"That's right." Levi says softly.

"Do you think I'm a threat to humanity?" Petra asks.

"No. I would never think that of you." Levi reassures her.

Levi turns around and start to leave again but to soon be tugged back. He turns to face her again.

"C-Cap-, I-I mean L-Levi?" Petra calls.

"Yes?" Levi answers.

"C-Can y-you, um... uh, maybe... um... stay. For a bit. I-I mean I-if you w-want." Petra stutters, embarrassed of what she said.

"In this?" Levi questions as he points to the towel around his waist.

Petra becomes light head due to the insane amount of blushing in one day.

"OH! N-N-N-N-No! I mean, i-it's up t-to you." Petra freaks out.

Levi sits down on the wheelchair that's been parked beside the bed.

"Ok. I'll stay." Levi whispers.

* * *

Petra slowly creeps her eyes opened. She tilts her head to the right to see Levi gone. She tries to push herself up without hurting her back. She gets up to sit then reaches for her wheel chair. She finally gets on her wheelchair after struggling.

—SLAM—

The door swings opened as Levi walks towards Petra with a plate in his hands. He was wearing a black apron on top of a white dress shirt rolled up to the elbows and black dress pants.

"Are you ok?" Levi asks.

"I'm-fine!"Petra says quickly, mushing the words together.

"Here." Levi says as he puts the plate of food on the night stand behind her.

"Ok." Petra gently says.

Petra turns her wheelchair around to eat the breakfast Levi prepared for her. Levi tucks Petra's hair behind her ear.

"W-What a-are y-you d-doing?" Petra stutters as her face turn to a color of a tomato.

"You just remind me of someone I knew." Levi softly says.

"W-Who could th-that b-be?" Petra questions.

"Isabel was her name, she was like family I guess you can say." Said Levi.

"Was?" Petra confused.

"She was killed during her first expedition before the wall fell, it was also my first expedition." Levi goes on.

"That's sad. Why all of a sudden you're telling me this." Petra questions.

"I don't know. There something about you that tugs at me." Levi states.

Petra's face becomes more red as she gulps down the rest of the food. Levi then takes the plate and heads for the kitchen.

"T-Thank you." Petra appreciates.

Levi turns around. "What for?" Levi asks.

"For everything you've done for me." Petra smiles.

Levi's eyes widen. "It's nothing. You would do the same." Levi states.

"Of course I would." Petra says.

Levi walks out the door. Petra hears the tap go on and the rushing of the water hit the plate. She then looks down at what she's wearing.

Oh my goodness I can't believe I'm wearing Levi's clothes. They smell nice.

Petra shakes her head.

What am I thinking?

Petra turns herself around and starts heading out the door. Levi finished putting the dishes away as he looks towards Petra. Levi felt something heavy inside his chest as he watches Petra roll herself down the hallway. He walks up to her.

"Do you want to try walking again?" Levi asks.

"Yes!" Shouts Petra in joy.

"Here." Levi says offering a hand.

Petra takes it. Levi pulls her up and into his arms, but pulls her into more of a hug and squeezes her tight.

"C-Captain??" Petra questions.

"Shhhhhhh. Didn't I tell you to call me Levi?" Levi hushes followed by a whisper in her ear.

"S-Sorry L-Levi." Petra stutters with a red face as she slowly returns the hug.

Levi shuts his eyes while breathing in her sent.

What am I doing, what's this feeling?

Levi then brakes off the hug and pulls Petra to his side. With a hand on her waist, as Petra bits her lip. She puts an arm around Levi's neck as she takes a step forward.

After a few steps Levi whispers in her ear. "Maybe we can go out today, and get you some new clothes." 

"I-I can go out?" Petra asks surprised.

"You're still under my supervision so I decided that we can go out today." Levi says with his signature tone.

Petra tilts her head towards Levi, smiling with closed eyes. Levi looks at her. His eyes were drawn to her soft sweet lips with an urge to kiss her, but he ignores it.

* * *

The echo of Levi's footsteps ring in Petra's ears as she listen to his soft breathing. Until the noise of the crowd fills in. Levi pushes Petra down the marketing streets as Petra looks around. Levi stops in front of a clothing store.

"Why'd you stop?" Petra asks.

"We need to get you new clothes. You can't be wearing mine, or I'll run out of clean clothes to wear." Levi states with a blank expression.

"O-Oh, right!" Petra blurts out.

Levi enters the open store with Petra in the wheelchair.

"WAIT! IS THAT CAPTAIN LEVI?!! A voice from in the store.

"OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S HUMANITY'S STRONGEST!!" Another voice from in the store.

"HEY! EVERYONE LOOK!! IT'S CAPTAIN LEVI, HUMANITY'S STRONGEST SOLDIER!!" Another voice shouts out from outside the store.

Soon crowds of people start gathering around him and Petra with pens and papers. Regular citizens to Reports were all there. Levi hated the attention.

"So what's the plan for taking back wall Maria?!" A Report asks.

"Why was the 58th expedition a failure?!" Another Reporter asks.

"I heard that your squad all died in the 57th expedition? What happened?" A citizen asks.

Levi got bombarded with questions, one after another until Levi lost it.

"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED RIGHT NOW?! DON'T MAKE ME ANGRY!" Levi shouts over all the other voices.

Everyone looks at Levi then looks down to Petra's terrified face expression.

"IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!" Asks a Reporter.

"NO THAT MUST BE YOUR WIFE?!" Shouts a citizen.

Levi put on an angered expression, a terrifying look. He slips his hands to the back of his belt as he pulls out a gun.

—BANG—

Levi shot a bullet through the roof of the store. Everyone went silent in fear.

"Didn't I tell you that I didn't want to be disturbed?" Says Levi in a calm tone still holding the gun above his head.

All the citizens and Reporters all left and the only one left was the store employees and manager all shaking in fear. Levi puts the gun back into the back of his belt. He looks down at Petra as he put a hand on her shoulder. Petra jumps at the sudden contact.

"Are you doing ok?" Levi asks in a soft voice.

Petra simply just nods her head with wide eyes. Levi pushes her towards the dresses and stops in front of a beautiful deep metallic blue gown.

"Why are we at the dresses?" Petra asks.

Petra doesn't get a response so she then looks up at Levi to see him in deep thought staring at the dress.

"Um Cap-L-Levi?" Petra calls as she tugs at his sleeve.

Levi jerks his head towards Petra. "I'm sorry. Did you say something?" Levi questions.

"Ummmmm, nothing! Nevermind!" Petra blurts out while smiling.

Levi freezes at her smile once again. He can't figure it out, why Petra's smile relieves him of any stress.

"W-Why don't you go and look at the clothes you want." Levi suggests.

"Um, ok." Petra says as she rolls herself away.

Levi turns around to face the dress he was glazing at. He turns around again to look at Petra then back again. Levi signals one of the employees to come over to him. The employee rushes over trying not to get Levi angry.

"I want this dress nicely wrapped and delivered to my place on December 6th, first thing in the morning." Levi orders.

"U-Umm, Sir... W-We don't deliver." The employees stutters.

Levi pulls out a pile of cash, and his gun. "Now which one do you prefer?" Levi threatens.

"W-What time on the 6th??" The employee asks in fear.

"Six o'clock in the morning, and don't be late." Levi demands.

"S-Sure th-thing, Sir." The employee replies.

"Thank you." Levi appreciating the employee's cooperation.

The employees takes the dress and goes into the back room. Levi looks over to Petra.

Did I just get her a birthday gift?

Levi then walks over to Petra. She tilts her head up to see Levi standing beside her.

"What were you doing?" Petra asks out of curiosity.

"Does it matter?" Levi questions with a straight intimidating face.

"I-I guess n-not." Stutters Petra.

"Did you pick something yet?" Levi asks.

"Um, ya." Petra answers while pointing at a few shirts and pants on her lap.

"That's just shirts and pants, where your underwear?" Levi demands for an answer.

"O-Oh um.... well, I-I didn't go... uh, look at them y-yet." Petra replies with a serious blush across her cheeks.

"Well then. Let us go look." Levi insists.

"Right now!" Petra questions.

"When else?" Says Levi.

"U-Uh... O-Ok..." Petra stutters.

Levi pushes Petra towards the undergarments section as Petra's face grows more red at the second. They stop in front of a pile of panties. Petra then quickly looks through the pile to find her size as she covers her face with her hair. She put about three pairs of panties on her lap on top of the shirt and pants.

"Ok." Petra signals Levi that they can move on.

Levi pushes Petra to the bra section. Petra slowly puts her hand out to sort through the bras as she looks at her hand. It was shaking. She didn't want Levi to see. Levi got a bit impatient.

"What size are you? I'll look." Levi insists.

"Wait, What?!" Petra blurts out.

"I said what size of bras do you wear? I'll look." Levi repeats himself in a more simple way.

"W-Well, uh.... u-ummmmm... I'm a-a-a-a-" Petra struggles to form a sentence before being cut off.

"Spit it out." Levi commands.

"34D!" Petra shouts then realizing she was a bit too loud as she felt like her face was about to explode of embarrassment.

Levi looked through the bras to then find a 34D. Levi's eyes widen as he picks up the bra.

This can't be right. Is she that big?

Levi clears his throat as he tosses a few bras at Petra. Petra's puts them in her lap with a face of embarrassment. Levi then pushes her to an employee as he looks at the clothes and decides on a price.

"That's will be 51.01 Euros." The employee says.

Petra's eyes widen and mouth drops.

That's too much.

"Here." Levi says as he hands the employee the cash.

Levi then pushes Petra out the store and into the market streets once again.

"Um, you didn't have to spend that much on me." Petra says.

"No, you needed new clothes." Levi insists.

Petra backed down as she didn't want to get into an argument, especially with Levi. They strolled for it seemed to be like hours. Until they finally got back to the house. Levi rolled Petra inside as he shuts and locks the door behind him.

"Why don't you go try those new clothes on." Levi insists.

"Um, sure." Petra replies.

Petra rolled herself down to Levi's bedroom and shut the door behind her. She laid the clothes on the bed as she unbuttons her shirt. She stops at the second one from the top as a smile grew on her face.

I was outside, it felt good to be outside.

She continued to unbutton her shirt then moved to her pants. The pants were hard to get off since she could hardly move her legs. She moved her hands to the back clips of her bra but hesitates as she looks towards the door.

Would he barge in?

She shook her head.

What am I thinking? Of course he wouldn't.

Petra unclipped her bra. She felt really exposed in that empty room. She quickly grabbed one of the new bras that sat on the bed. She tried hard to get the bra on fast as she had a fear of someone watching her.

Why am I scared? No ones here.

She glanced at the door one more time to see that it was still shut. She had nothing to worry about. She looked over to the shirts on the bedside as she tries to decide on which one she should wear.

What would Captain like?

Petra slapped her cheeks as she shakes her head again.

Why am I thinking of him all of a sudden. Why would I care what he thinks I should wear?

Petra closed her eyes as she blindly picks a shirt and a pair of pants. She opened her eyes to see that she picked up a fancy green off the shoulders top with puffy long sleeves and plain white jeans. She pulled the shirt over her head and pulled it down to realize it was a cropped top. She then replaced her dirty underwear with the clean ones and pulled her jeans over them. She rolled herself over to a tall skinny mirror in the room and saw her frail little self in it. She looked down to see her top that shows her a bit of her stomach.

—KNOCK KNOCK—

Levi knocks on the bedroom door interrupting her deep thoughts.

"Come in!" Petra shouts.

Levi opens the door to see a beautiful strawberry blonde woman looking in a mirror. Levi stood still in the doorway.

"I have some bad news." Says Levi.

Petra turns towards Levi.

"There's going to be a court trial to decide if your our enemy or not. This will take place November 27th, which is tomorrow." Levi states.

"Really? I haven't done anything wrong." Petra cries. "Captain, do you think they'll think I'm an enemy?" Asks Petra.

"I wouldn't let that happen. Just like I did with Eren." Levi reassures.

"You won't beat me up, will you?" Petra asks a little frightened.

"No, of course not. I only beat up annoying little brats." Levi replies.

"O-Ok." Petra stutters.

Levi walks over to Petra.

"Oh and one more thing. If you're found not guilty of being an enemy, you'll be able to go see your father." Levi tells Petra the good new.

"R-Really?" Petra says with tears of joy and a big smile across her face.

"Y-Ya, an-and I'll take you there myself!" Levi informs.

"Thank you, Captain." Petra appreciates his kindness.

"Hey! It's Levi." Levi reminds her.

"S-Sorry, Levi." Petra says with a blush on her cheeks.
