Softness (Levi x Reader)

Author's Note: This oneshot's shitty, I acknowledge that, so please accept my apology and allow me to revise it into something better in the future. That includes all my other stories as well. Thank you :)

The windows of the Survey Corps Headquarters were polished clean due to the result of a strenuously extensive cleaning order done by none other than your Corporal. The sun was set high above the sky, its rays of warmth hitting your skin as you held onto the oak broom. You were cleaning in the mess hall, sweeping the floor, motioning it from side to side. You tried to hum a soft tune to keep yourself focused on your work as not to get distracted by your fellow young comrades, but it proved to be very futile.

While you were placed under Corporal Levi's squad, you were ordered to assist the newly recruited members of the Survey Corps with their cleaning. Hence, at this moment, it was mainly Jean who was bickering with Eren on how sloppy of a job he was doing, that hindered your cleaning.

"Horseshit! I can clean way better than you!" Eren shouted, fuming with anger as he grabbed hold of Jean's collar.

"Oh yeah, titan boy? Then why is there a shit ton of dust other there?" Jean retorted to Eren, pointing his left hand and gesturing to the corner of the mess hall.

Eren lifted a brow in confusion, spouting, "what? It wasn't my job to clean the-" before he could finish his sentence, Jean had thrown a handful of dust and dirt he secretly had within his right hand. The particles of the mess scattered across Eren's face, leading his eyes to shut tight.

"Eren!" Mikasa shouted. Infuriated she went to punch Jean in the face, but before she could do so, you intervened, attempting to deescalate the fight.

Walking hastily towards Jean, you grabbed his shoulder. "Jean! Leave him alone!" you shouted. Jean ignored you, despite you being older than he was, meaning he had to respect you, he didn't. Instead, he was smirking at the mess he had made on Eren. "Jean!" you shouted again, but alas, he ignored you. Then, you whispered into his ear. "C'mon, I'll treat you to some pastries that I've been working on." You knew he couldn't resist anything you baked because you were exceptional when it came to it, along with many of your comrades.

Eren brought his hands up to his face, attempting to wipe the grim off while coughing when some had gotten into his mouth.

"Finish up cleaning or else the Corporal won't be happy. You want them, don't you?" Jean quickly rushed to finish his work, smiling at the thought of those soft layered cakes, filled with delicious cream, sweets, even chocolate.

Smiling you looked at Eren and hurriedly, you tried to rush past Mikasa to retrieve back a towel for him, but she stopped you. "Thank you (Y/N)" the stoic friend of yours said. Though she was stoic most of the time and didn't care much about others, she's grown to love you as a trustworthy comrade of hers.

You nodded. "No problem, Mikasa. I'll be back quickly before Eren begins choking" you joked as Eren was still trying to get the dust off his face, causing a larger mess with his nose covered in dust and cheeks smudged with a dark color.

Mikasa looked back at Eren and nodded when she returned her eyes to you. You left immediately and returned back with a small bucket of warm water and a towel. Mikasa returned back to cleaning and glared at Jean who was just happily trying to finish up.

You walked towards Eren and kneeled down beside him as he continued to cough from time to time. You brought your right hand up to his back and patted it, making smoothing strokes as his breathing began to steady. Eren looked at you and thanked you with a smile. You smiled back at him and stood up to sit back down in front of him. "Honestly Eren, you should try keeping your anger in control" you sighed, dipping the towel in the warm bucket before squeezing the water out. With the towel now warm, you brought your left hand and cupped it on Eren's cheek, bringing your right hand that held the warm towel, you patted it around his face.
