You were an ordinary soldier before Erwin promoted you to the rank of Lieutenant in Levi's unit. No wonder, your nature was always ambitious and driven, and after working hard through sweat and blood you were recognized.

And after some more time you began a relationship with Levi, Captain Levi. You both kept it as a little secret to avoid fuss and unnecessary discussion, but all things secret come to light, and so did your relationship... How exactly it happened remains a mystery, you were both extremely careful and vigilant.

Rumors and gossip spread throughout Survey Corps like wildfire. Every cadet and soldier felt it was their duty to discuss your relationship and your promotion, you faced a wave of judgment, slanted glances, and laughs behind your back about how exactly you had gotten your promotion.

"Don't think about it too much." Levi's soft voice comes out in a soothing mutter, "You and I know it's bullshit, the rumors will die down soon..." He sighs softly, trying to ease your worries, he knows how difficult this situation is for you.
