Levi x Reader- Love me - Chapter 4

CHapter 4: His soft side


Panting you shakily brought a hand up to unbutton the first two buttons of your shirt. You were exhausted, not only did Rivaille made you run laps until you almost fainted again but you also had to run back and forth all after noon doing all sorts of tasks for that sadistic dwarf.

Still panting you leaned against the dinning hall walls for which you by the way had to clean. Dammit you cursed punching the wall with your right fist. You were so tired by the end of the day that you were sure that you would collapse again if you kept pushing your self and that couldn’t happen because the last thing you needed is getting a doctors appointment and everyone discovering that you’re a girl.

You grabbed the glass of water on a near by table and weakly you grabbed it, slowly bringing it to your dried and cracked lips. You poured the cold liquid into your mouth swallowing it slowly enjoying the liquid hydrating your sore throat. At first it was painful but you got over it. A little to quickly the blessed water finished and you were left craving it once more. You let out a sigh and started working on the last wall. You bend down to grab the piece of cloth but the night was just to hot and you decided to open a third button of your shirt, you weren’t particularly worried because it was at least nine thirty so everyone was sleeping and even if they weren’t no one would come to the dinning hall.

As you unbuttoned a fourth button you looked down and fixed your bandages, which were squashing your boobs. At first it had been just too uncomfortable for which resulted on you wearing extremely baggy cloths. You drenched the piece of cloth on the bucket on water that by now couldn’t really be called water. If you thought that cleaning the main hall was difficult this was an even more impossible task. The dinning hall was so dirty that you had been cleaning it for two hours not counting half an hour that Eren had helped you.

As you were cleaning the wall carefully cleaning even between the cracks knowing Levi would inspect it closely you heard the double doors open you turned your head slightly to see who it was completely forgetting that your shirt was open.

’Speaking of the devil’ You thought as you saw Rivaille lean coolly against one of the opened doors he glared at you intensely  watching you work your way through the wall. He’s mouth neither smiling nor smirking. You decided to ignore him and kept getting your task done and then getting some well-deserved sleep. After a minute you heard footsteps and you assumed he had left, that was until you felt a presence beside you who made you flinch a little.

Dropping the cloth to the floor as a reaction of the mini heart attack Levi gave, you looked up to your left where he was looking at your chest, this made you blush and then you realized that your shirt was unbuttoned, gasping you buttoned the fourth and third button but as you were grabbing the second a hand stopped you by grabbing your wrist rather harshly.

You looked up once again to your superior a little frightened he had discovered you, the night was rather dark since the clouds hid the moon but that didn’t meant that his hawk like eyes wouldn’t have noticed  two watermelons being squashed on your chest.  Swallowing a knot in your throat you meet his eyes.

”Cadet (boy name)”

'Fuck’ You screamed in your head, you were screwing up way too much things in such a short time. He knew your secret, you wanted to cry. Opening your mouth to beg for him to keep the secret you were interrupted yet again by his voice.

“How where you injured?”

He asked, you thought you heard a string of worry in his voice but that couldn’t be true? Could it? Your mind was playing games with you. You looked at him not knowing how to respond to him, it seemed you never knew ho to respond to him.

”(boy name)…”

He warned getting impatient by your silence. You thought of the most believable lie you could bring your brain to think at yet another mad moment that day.

“I… I was getting a bucket and accidentally knocked over some of the knives and it cut my chest”

You said while trying not to stutter and then quickly added for him not  to send your to the infirmary.

”But I’m ok now it was only a scratch and they’ve already treated it”

Ok, maybe you said that part a little to fast and that made him question if what you said was true, of course he had seen something that resembled boobs on your chest but you were a 'boy' so that couldn’t be possible and decided that he had drank to much tea. So he choose to believe your lame excuse.

You sighed in relief as he took a step back dropping the subject and started to analyze your work. You watched him to see if he commented anything els  and when he didn’t you bend down once again grabbing the still wet piece of cloth and then yawned. He turned his attention on you and watched you yawn he fought a yawn back and then told you.

“You’re excused for the night…”

You looked up at him surprised to see him have compassion especially towards you. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as you thought. You grinned. He noticed and commented on it.

“I still expect you on my office at 7 a.m. sharp.”

You nodded and he gave you a death glare before threatening you sending chills down your spin.

“If I ever hear you mutter anything about me ever again… You’re as good as dead. Now go to sleep”

Ok now you were freaked out, you didn’t really now if that threat was real or not, you never knew with Rivaille. He then turned around and left the room stopping at the door not looking at you.

”What are you waiting for?”

That grin appeared once again on your face and you trotted towards him. You both left the dinning room even if you were silent you knew he cared about you in his own twisted way. You walked down the hall in a confortable silence. If you weren’t pretending to be a boy you would have kissed him on the cheek.

Five minutes later you both were headed towards your room, at first you didn’t understand why Levi hadn’t gone to his room if he had to turn right and then it hit you. He was escorting you. When you got to your room you looked at him and he just nodded at you and left.

Even if you were tired because of him you still couldn’t help but to feel this was the best night of your life. That grin didn’t leave your face even when you drifted away into a sweet dream of cute Levi sleeping.
