Eren's Pov ) 

'Mikasa slow down' , I paced a little to keep up with her. 

After Mr Ackerman had offered me the job , I politely declined on the grounds that I didn't want to upset my sister. Although she had seemed weirdly okay with the rejection , she was not pleased with the fact that he wanted to hire me. I  closed my eyes slightly and gave up on the chase , panting slightly, if she leaves me she leaves me , I know where our house is.

I brought my hands to me knees , and doubled over. My back had been in agony in that chair , so a hot shower was well deserved. 'You have talent Eren , just because she's jealous don't let that hold you back'. He was wrong , I don't have talent , I never have. Still it was nice to hear that , Mikasa is encouraging and all that , but she's so cold that sometimes the characters on tv can offer me more comfort.

I brought my head up to see that she was gone , logically she would be waiting for me in the car, but sadly these types of moments ended up with her driving away in a funk. I lowered my head and continued walking.

'EREEEEEEEEEEEEN MY BABY HOW DID THE INTERVIEW GO?! TELL MAMA HANJI' 

I turned around and looked at the energetic woman who was bouncing towards me, 'It was okay , but she didn't get it' , I smiled sadly , 'In fact he offered me the job'

Her once lit up face glowed an even brighter red as she peered towards me , 'Oh my gosh , you said yes right? You did say yes Eren?'

I shook my head slightly , bringing my hands up in a sort of defence, she didn't look like a violent person , quite the opposite in fact , but I wouldn't be surprised if her fist accidently swung into my face while she was talking , ' Of course not! My sister would kill me if I did that!'

I  chuckled slightly when I saw her smile fall , ' And I work part time in a coffee shop so I'm not really looking for a position , It would be selfish of me to take it from someone who really may need it'

She smiled softly and stepped towards me embracing me into a hug , 'Eren ,,, Youre going to make me cry you pure innocent sweet sweet boy'

I patted her back gently , trying to distract myself from the oxygen I was losing , but then she suddenly tensed and squeezed harder.

'Oi Shit for brains I need you to send an email to Mr Pixis, and stop fucking killing our clients'

She loosened me and patted my hair , 'Of course Mr Ackerman! I'll get on it right away', she turned to me and gave me a suggestive wink , 'See you later Eren.'

The corners of my lips involuntarily lifted , 'It was nice talking to you , I hope we can talk again soon!' , and with that she was gone.

My phone buzzed in my pocket , and my hands flew to grab it. 'I took the car to Sasha's , be home later, don't die'

My smile fell , it's so cold outside . I lifted my head up and started my walk towards the elevator, noticing that Mr Ackerman stood there waiting for the lift.

I paced over to him and smiled , however his eyes were sternly placed upon the door, he held a mixture of papers which I would say were about 1/3rd of his size. I tapped his shoulder gently , 'Would you like help with those? They look pretty heavy' I giggled , 'Even if they are paper!'

His gaze slowly turned to me , 'No I'm fine' , he looked back towards the door , 'Brat'

I frowned , 'I'm not a brat'

He smirked , 'You are'

I pouted and mirrored his position ,looking strictly to the door. 

He tch'd , 'That is the least intimidating thing I have ever seen', the bell pinged and the doors swung open  , we stepped inside, 'you look like a puppy or some adorable shit like that'

I laughed softly , 'Well sorry i'm not as stern looking as you are , Mr I cant look at anyone without scowling' , I got a hm in responce.

It was just the two of us in the elevator , and I was really feeling the effects of it. The height of the building was making my back start to ache , and paired with the fact that I could barely breathe due to the smell of his aftershave in the heat made me dizzy. 

I grabbed onto the hand rail and hunched over slightly supporting myself , It wasn't like I was in a lot of pain , but continuous pain would lead to me being immobilised in bed the day after.

'What's wrong? Why do you look like a woman in labour?' 

I looked up to see Mr Ackerman staring at me , but not in his normal harsh way , more of a startled expression clouded his face , I smiled painfully , 'I'm fine don't worry'. The elevator stumbled a bit before returning to normal, I gasped out in pain before biting my lip and forcefully laughing, 'Ahh why is this bar so low?!'

His eyebrows furrowed together before he walked over to me and grabbed my hand, placing it around his forearm, 'Here , hold onto me' He stopped for a minute observing my face , before looking back at the door , 'Don't look into this , I just dont want to fucking carry you if you faint'

I smiled before leaning into his arm , The fact that he smelt nice was a well known fact to me by now , but every time I inhaled his scent I felt tingles run through my body , He felt like comfort , if that even makes sense, 'Thank you Mr Ackerman'

His chest extended as he took a breath , 'It's Levi '

I smiled softly , my eyes blinking slowly like I was in a dream , 'Well in that case , thank you Levi'

He grunted in acknowledgment as we drifted off into a comfortable silence. The rest of the ride lasted about 5 minutes, which may not sound long , but when you're standing next to the epitome of a God , that time goes pretty slowly. Mr Ackerm- , Levi didn't seem fazed at all by the fact that we were practically embracing in a lift like a bunch of school kids who wanted privacy , in fact the only time that he moved was when he held me tighter, but seconds later the elevator would jolt , so that was just for my benefit. 

The elevator got to the bottom and the doors opened , Levi , along with every aspect of warmth that surrounded him left me , and he strolled out, and looked back, 'Are you just going to stand there gawking like an idiot or are you going to follow me?'

My legs flew forward and I was back at his side again , although our skin wasn't touching. His arm extended in an act of support , I smiled and waved my hands, 'Thank you Levi , but I'm fine on flat surfaces'

He looked at me for a little too long , and then lowered his extended arm , 'Then i'll walk beside you'

His gaze turned to the sight before us , and I observed his features. He had a chiselled jawline which led to a meticulously shaved undercut, my eyes widened and my hands lifted the layer of hair which sat on top of the shaved area ,' Wow you have an undercut , that's so cool looking!'

His eyes glanced at me from the side, 'Brat , hands off'

I retracted my hands and cringed slightly , 'Im sorry your hair just looked really fluffy , but it was shaved so I wanted to see if it was prickly'

He held his gaze at me , burning holes into my head , ' Come on , i'll walk you to your car'

He started walking towards the door , and I followed suit, 'Actually i'm walking home so there's no need!'

He continued walking , 'then i'll drive you home'

My eyes widened and my lips parted , 'No really its fine! Its only half an hour! I can manage!'

We walked passed the front desk ,and his hand raised to signal the staff who hurriedly ran over, 'Moblit , would you please ready my car' , 

'Moblit' shook his head and ran off , 'right away sir!'

Levi stopped and turned slightly , pushing my into an alcove that resided behind the desk, pinning me between the wall and him. His eyes pierced into mine and he placed his hand above my shoulder , his hot breath layed upon my flushed skin , my hands went up to his chest to resist slightly.  ' Get ready for the ride of your life brat'.
