Chapter 1
"What did I tell you of coming out when I'm not near brat"
Turning around from the underground lights to see a shorty male with black haired as his dull grey eyes start at your big e/c eyes. He walked next to you as your e/c eyes turn back to the bright lights.
"Sorry Levi." You mumbled as you try to hide from his face.
"I'll let this one slide but next time you won't be able to leave with me again."
You nodded as you both start out. Your small pale s/c hand gripped his white sleeve. "Do you think we'll see what's on the surface? I heard there are these white puffy thing in the sky called clouds! Oh at night there seem to be thousands of stars in the sky!"
His dull grey eyes stare at you. The subject of the surface always fascinated you from the start. It was rare for someone from the underground to actually stay at the surface and the prices to get up always rise. Even if you make it to the surface you'll immediately be sent back down.
"One day we'll make it up there. You'll finally see real stars instead of this crap"
"Promise?"
"I'd never lie to you, m/n" he squats down in front of you as you just smile.

"Ready brat?"
"Yep!"
Standing at the door was Levi as you finally put on your boots. Levi only lets you leave with him due to how people would easily take you away.
You were only 5 at the time while Levi was at least 18 at the time. He found you on the streets being 3 years old. You sitting next to a corpse which he found out later was your mother yet he didn't know why he took you. He walked past many children yet he decided to take you.
"Will we be stealing today Levi?" You question as Levi just stares ahead.
As you continued to walk you would talk about the surface. Levi just stared at you as you would tell him things he already knows. The underground was no place for a bright child like you. He wonders how someone like you can stay happy in a dangerous place like this.
"Do you want to go to the surface Levi?" You question out of nowhere.
"Am I the reason why you only want to go to the surface?"
"I don't care if it's the surface or underground if your okay" he rubs your head as you move away, fixing your hair.
"Hurry up before I leave you" he turns his head back as you ran towards his side.
Once walking down a street there was a dead end yet that wasn't the only thing. There sat a few man as they turned up to see you two, more specifically Levi. You turned back to see more men come around the corner trapping you two.
"You're Levi, aren't ya? Dunno what brings you here... but this is our turf, got it?" The male says as Levi doesn't answer.
"What was that? The hell are ya talking about... did ya forget ya live in the damn dumps!" The male raise his fist yet stopped when hearing someone yell from above.
"Hey! Over here!" A rope was tossed down towards to two. "Grab hold!" Levi took that chance as he picked you up before grabbing the rope.
You were immediately picked from your collar as you saw Levi following the mysterious male. Once you were about a few roofs away the male stopped as Levi slowed down a few feet behind him.
"Yo-you're Levi, right? I heard you're strong and all, but it would've been tough for you to handle all those guys at once while taking care of the kid." The male catches his breath as he stares amazed at Levi.
"Thanks for helping us out." Levi blankly says.
"Haha, don't mention it! Although I have to admit... i totally get how they must've felt. Y'know, wanting to check out just how strong you are."
"It's a crying shame, but... I'm also one of 'em"
"l-Levi" you trembled as small tears formed in your eyes. There from behind came the same male that confronted you two earlier.
"Close your eye brat" he says.
As minutes went by Levi stopped moving as he still holds you. "Alright you see now."
You opened your eyes to see those that were once standing now on the ground in pain. You turned back towards Levi as he placed you down before cleaning his hands.
Levi just stared at him "You're joking if you actually think I'd accept help from a shady ass guy like you."
That shocked the man as Levi immediately picked you up before jumping over the ruined wall.
"Yeah"
