Wild 6: Captain Levi

“Section Commander!” Connie exclaimed, his face turned to the woman in question behind him. Hanji. I'm doomed. “(Y/N) said you'll be back before dinner, we didn't expect you'd be back so early. Sorry for ehh... uhh... Occupying your room.” Christa stated, earning an assuring smile from the Section Commander.

Did she heard what I said? How long had she been there? Please! She's not even tiny that I hadn't noticed her. Had I been too caught in the moment that I overlooked? Gosh, whoever is in heavens, I could only pray she didn't heard the entire conversation. That'd be too embarrassing.

Soon enough, the others bid goodbye and promised to visit me tomorrow. Seeing as to how I'm gonna be stuck here for atleast days to recover. I just hope I wouldn't miss out any new training or learnings when I get back. I've always found it hard to catch up.

Hanji went directly to her desk, not bothering my presence nor my lingering, questioning stare. “Is there something wrong?” I asked almost comfortably I wanted to slap myself.

Because first and foremost, she's still my Squad leader and not to mention my Section Commander. If needed to show respect, I would have to do that. Yet somehow, I'd spend too much time around her for my own good that I'd forgotten that fact. The fact that she's a Superior and I'm nothing but a scout.

“Nothing. I apologize for intervening your time with your friends. That was selfish of me.” Ahh, there it is again. The apologizing. And it wasn't just that, that upsetted me. It was the way her tone had gone cold and the way she didn't bother to look up from her paperworks. I suppose I have no rights to be upset but I couldn't stop myself from being one.

“Hanji, I know something's wrong. If you wanna talk about it, I'll be here to listen.” I asserted, in which she finally reacted; looking back up at me and pausing, trying to figure her thoughts out. “Please don't even dare to have second thoughts, Hanji. You can trust me with whatever.”

The brunette lets out a sigh, “It's just Levi. He said something that frustrated the shit out of me. That son of a bitch didn't even bother to sugarcoat for the sake of my feelings. Damnit.” Wow, I honestly had never heard of her lashing out and cursing so much in a row.

My face must've gave it all, because Hanji was suddenly groaning at herself. “I'm sorry that wasn't quite professional of me. I'll be okay (Y/N), don't worry about it.”

There's the sorry again. I'm certain she's said that atleast 10 times today.

Fuck me and these expressions of mine that people always misinterpret.

“Hanji, it's fine. Plus I don't want you to be professional infront of me. And wasn't it you who technically said to drop the formalities?” I retorted. She giggled slightly at that.

Well isn't she cute?

Damnit. I'm falling deeper and deeper again. Ugh, there's even no use trying not to. One quick glance on her pretty face, I'd immediately fall head over heels for her. I can't deny it, it's like we've been together for eternity that in some way, it feels right to ask for her hand in marriage. Ridiculous, isn't it?

Hanji exhaled a, “Fine,” before shifting in her seat to fully look at my sitting down figure. Clearing her throat, she spoke, “Levi thinks I'm being clumsy and careless because of you. That I'm turning into a whole new absentminded scout. Which I'm not! It's simply frustrating, it was just one mistake awhile ago. And it won't happen again.” She hissed, frowning at the thought.

I was so confused. Because first, why would Captain Levi think Hanji turned like what he described— an absentminded soldier— because of me? Had I been distracting her so much? It's been two days! What the heck?
