Disturbances [Insane!Levi x Reader] [AU]

Levi growled as he struggled against his binds. The monsters holding him in this white dungeon came after you again, and all you could do was stand there. He killed a few before with his bare hands, no less!

All he needed to do was break free. He was a captain for heaven’s sake!

These creatures were a ghostly white, tall and thin. Occasionally, they grabbed for you, leaned in close to you as if threatening your life. It sickened him. You were the only thing of importance to him. He had to get them away!

With another hiss, Levi twisted and squirmed, using every bit of strength he contained inside his short frame.

“Get the fuck away from her!!” he bellowed with flaring eyes.

You turned to him, you own eyes brimming with tears.

“Get away, [Name]!! Go!!”

Over and over again he shouted this until his throat stung, and yet, you remained firmly before him, the spectral beings hovering about you.

Why wouldn’t you run?




“I’m so sorry, Mrs. Ackerman,” Dr. Hanji Zoe said with a lowered head. “His conditions only worsened. I don’t know if there’s anything else we can do for him.”

Breath catching in your chest, you glanced back at your raven-haired husband, held in place by the leather straps. His eyes bulged with rage. His teeth gnashed, and he  lunged at the doctors attempting to settle him down. Before he needed to be held in a straight-jacket, he dwelled in his own little room. You thought certainly he would recover from his grueling service in the military. But, he took a turn for the worst after strangling one of the male doctors. The man did nothing wrong: he simply talked with you. Nothing more, nothing less. After his hands was stained with blood, Levi gripped your shoulders, eyes wide and face as white as a sheet. He asked if you were okay, asked if some monster tried to hurt you, if he touched you.

You knew not the disturbances ailing his mind so, but whatever they were he simply tried to protect you.

After being dragged into intensive care, his attacks intensified. Every doctor or “monster” that came into contact with you, he lunged after them, aiming for their throat. Once he ended the life another, the decision was made for him to be bound. He was a threat now.

But, it was all for your welfare.

After Hanji departed, leaving you in the frigid, white room. You asked the rest of the doctors to leave you alone with your husband, assuring them of your safety. Slowly, you approached him. Upon sensing your warmth, he calmed down.

“[Name,]” he said, almost frantically. “Thank God, you’re okay.”

Unable to withhold your tears, you wiped them on your sleeve.

“Oh, fuck, [Name],” he edged forward. “Did they hurt you? Why are you crying?!”

Levi’s beautiful pale eyes were clouded, glazed over, lost in a world that belonged neither in heaven or hell, but in the depths of his own insanity. Somehow, his love remained. It was all he strived for, the only thing keeping him going.

Tremors peeling through your limbs, you knelt before him and knotted your sweet fingers into his dark locks. You placed soft, little kisses on his lips. He grunted in contentment.

“No, honey, I’m fine,” you whispered in between each peck. “You saved me. I’m fine.”

“I won’t let those bastards get you,” he leaned in for more. You complied. “I love you, [Name.] I love you so much.”

The words ripped open your chest. Soon, the tears flowed down your cheeks again. In the back of your mind, you wondered how long his ability to recognize you would last. You wondered if hope for recovery was pointless or if just maybe a sliver remained.

At the given moment, you were satisfied with his lingering affection, even with these disturbances hovering over you both.

“I love you too, sweetheart,” you murmured before silencing him with another gentle kiss.
