Scars to Your Teacup [Levi Ackerman x OC]

Ch. 10 - I am a Little Teacup, Short and Stout

Scarlett's POV

A few days have passed by, I drilled the formation map into their minds, and they got their horses acquainted. But we still got a lot of work to do. But today is a busy paperwork day, every week Erwin wants evaluations on our entire squad especially before an expedition.

I sit on my desk, my black hair is in a messy ponytail, barely staying up. My hand is cramping at this point, I stop and give my hand a break and take a deep breath as I look at the ceiling. 'God, this is soooo boring.'

I pushed myself to go back to work, yet somewhere midway I noticed I started to doodle a small sketch of Levi. I start to crack up as I start to draw a small Levi in a teacup, I smile sinisterly as I write a small message on top and fold the picture.

As if on cue, Adrian's voice echoes following a knock, "Scar."

"Come in."

He walks in, "I was here to see if you need any help?"

I start to give him a weird smile, "Oh I have something in mind."

"Uhmm... Why are you giving me such a creepy smile?" I hear him gulp nervously.

"Tis' a simple task." I fold my hands together, "As you can see I am busy with a lot of paperwork and have no time to deliver Captain Levi a letter." Presenting my messy desk with paperwork scattered everywhere.

"But aren't you right across from him?"

"No time!" I hand him the folded-up drawing, "Please be a dear and deliver this to him."

"Okay..." He hesitantly takes the folded paper and walks outside of my office. 'Levi has been ignoring me for the past few days. This will surely make him talk to me.'

Levi's POV

I hear a knock on my door, I sigh in utter frustration, 'I will never finish this damn paperwork if people keep bothering me.' "State your name and your business better be good for interrupting me."

"Adrian Whitley. I am here to deliver a letter, Sir!"

"Ugh. Come in brat." The door opens, Adrian walks in and heads in front of my desk.

"Who is it from?"

"Captain Scar." I grab the letter out of his hand, "You are dismissed."

"Yes, Sir!" Adrian walks out of my office, I look at the folded paper in my hands. I unfold it...

I am a little teacup, short and stout...

A drawing of me, inside a teacup. I feel myself boil with anger, I storm outside of my office. I barge in Scar's office, "What the hell is the meaning of this?" I slam the picture on her desk. I see her give me a sly smile that turns into a roaring laughter.

"I was bored... forgive me?"

"So you drew me in a teacup, as a form of apology?" I pinch the bridge of my nose, highly irritated at her pathetic apology.

"No... that I couldn't help myself. But I needed to get your attention somehow." She pouts.

I stare at her messy hair, it bothers me. I lean across her desk, "Your hair is a bird's nest." I tuck her loose strand of hair behind her ears.

"Does this mean you forgive me?"

"No." I finish fixing her hair and walk out of her office.

Scarlett's POV

'At least he talked to me.'

I finally managed to finish my paperwork earlier than I scheduled. I decide to make my way to the mess hall and grab a very late lunch. On my way, I overhear a group of 4 new cadets complaining, "Captain Levi is being way too intense with his training."
