TOGETHER AGAIN [levi ackerman x reader]

Rose Tea

LEVI POV

"Oi, Hange, this one is mine. There's 2 more to the right."

"Perfect. I'll take one back for my next experiment. she pulled out new blades. YEEEE-HAAAA!!" And with that, she flew off the horse after those titans.

Behind me was Y/n, Mikasa, and Nick, and we were surrounded by titans at this point. Tch. Looks like this will have to do. "Mikasa, Nick." I called to them while turning.

"Yes sir!"

"Take care of the 6 on the left, and I better see you come back."

"Yes, sir!" I watched as they hopped off their horses while whipping out their new blades. One more brat left. And she is not leaving my side. "Oi, brat." I look back at her to see her face full of aggression while she grips the horse reins tightly with one hand and the other gripping her gear. She turned to look at me. "Yes, sir?"

"You're with me. We'll take down the other 7 titans to our right." Her face slowly formed into a smirk as if she has been waiting for this for a long time. "Yes sir!" she called out, while using her gear to attach herself to the trees. I directly went in for the kill of the 6-meter-tall titan closest to me, making sure I get a clean cut on the nape. One down, six more. I land on the opposite tree and locate the brat. She flew down to the ground, landing safely on her feet, with worn and bloody blades. Two titans fall besides her, both with 2 deep cuts on the nape. Four more to go. I used my gear to pull me up into the air and slice the remaining 3 titans with no mercy. With the one titan left, I watched as the brat quickly cut its nape and land right on the back of the titan head facing down the ground. "How did I do, sir?" she asked me with a hand on her hip. "Tch, don't get too proud yet. We have to help Hange over there." I pointed toward the opposite direction where Eren, Connie, and Sasha were. "Right." She jumped off and quickly switched her blades. She went back on our horses and rode toward where Hange was. By the time we arrived, there were no titans left. Looks like we got rid of all the titans within the walls for now.

"Oi Hange, let's go back." We rode our horses back into the headquarters. Before I could head into the building, I heard someone call out to me.

"Um Captain? Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Y/n?

"What is it?" I said, a little surprised that I sounded so cold. She hesitated a little before finally walking toward me. I turned to face her, waiting for her to speak.

"So I know this happened back at the palace which was a few days back, but I just wanted to clarify and apologize for something." She said, while looking down. Her voice got lower and lower the more she talked. Was she scared? I raise an eyebrow at her with my hands folded behind me. "What is it that you want to say?" I ask, a little irritated.

"The other day when you and Jean were arguing, were you actually mad?" she asks me. I looked at her with confusion. Did it matter if I was mad or not? It's not like I was mad at her.

"What do you mean, brat?" I ask her. She took a deep breath before continuing.

"I know you guys were fighting about me, so I just wanted to apologize for making you so mad. I didn't want all of this to happen, but now it seems like it was your fault that I fainted when you clearly had nothing to do with it.... And you even helped me. I'm sorry for getting you involved. You didn't deserve that." She looked down while rubbing her dirty boots against each other. I sighed. Looks like she misunderstood everything. At the moment, I didn't know what came over me, but I walked closer to her and pushed her body into mine. My arms wrapped around her small upper body and I embraced her completely. I felt her move a little, but I kept her in my arms. "Listen brat, I'm not mad at you or mad at the fact that I was involved. I was only a little pissed off at the other brat there." I felt her head move as she shifted a little to look up at me. Her eyes were a little teary. "So, you're not mad that you got dragged into this situation without even knowing? And you're not mad at me too?" she asked once again. I sighed before answering her. "No brat. I'm not mad at anyone anymore." I moved my arms to wipe a small tear drop on her cheek. She sniffled a little before another tear drop came out of her other eye but before I can wipe it off or ask why she was crying; she buried her head back in my chest. What's wrong with her? Wasn't she just fine when she was killing titans before? "Why are you crying, y/n?"

She looked up at me once again. "I... don't know.... I just felt bad for everything that happened back at the palace. You didn't deserve to be yelled at by Jean."

My eyes widened as I realized I was the reason why she was crying. It was because she cared about me. She felt bad that Jean yelled at me. But I still didn't want to assume anything. "Y/n, look at me." She lifted her head to look at me. Her eyes completely soaked. I rested my hand on her cheek before explaining. "Don't cry brat. It's okay and I don't blame you."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes, really. Now go and clean your face."

Y/N POV

Honestly, all I planned to do was apologize to him. I didn't know why I cried but seeing that he wasn't mad made me feel a lot better. In fact, why did he matter so much? Why did it matter so much if he was mad or not? Do I have feelings for him? No no I can't. I have a boyfriend. We're not on the best terms now but he's still my boyfriend. I sighed and proceeded to wash my face before going back to my room. I close the door behind as I walk out but stop as I hear someone call my name.

"Hey y/n!"

I look back to see Nick running towards me waving his hand in the air. "Glad I ran into you here." He said, gasping for air.

"Um yeah sure Nick, you need something?" I ask him. He paused before answering me.

"Yeah, I heard about what happened with Jean the other day at the palace... Jean regretted yelling at you and has been asking me to talk to you for him. He wants to apologize for what he did and hopes that you forgive him."

I look at him with the are-you-kidding-me-face. Seriously?

"Well, if he wants to apologize, maybe he should do it by himself. I don't know if I can forgive him because I know he's not being truthful about something." I switched my gaze back to Nick and he looked rather nervous. Sweat was dripping down his head and he was constantly looking everywhere else, just not in my direction.

"Nick? You there?" I ask, while I wave my hands in his face.

"Oh. Yeah umm... I'm sure when the time comes, Jean will tell you about whatever he is hiding." He says, while forcing a smile. I shot him a small smile and waved bye to him before leaving to head to the mess hall to see if there was something to eat. I open the cupboard and find my favorite tea, rose tea. While making my tea, I notice Captain Levi walking in with an empty cup. I automatically assumed that he was going to make another cup of black tea. "Oi, what are you doing here brat?" I looked up to see him standing close to me. Suddenly, I started to feel nervous. Like how someone would feel while standing next to their crush. This doesn't make any sense right now. It's not like I like him, right? "Earth to y/n?" He snapped in my face. "What? Huh? Oh, Captain. I'm just making some tea." His eyebrows raised. "You drink tea?" he questioned.

"Yes actually. I enjoy drinking it. My favorite is rose tea." I took a sip of the warm tea. Perfect. I looked back at him and it looked like he was in deep thought.

"Captain?"

He looked at me for awhile and didn't say anything. Finally, he spoke. "It's late, you should go sleep." He proceeds to take his last cup of tea for the day, and he walked back to his room. I shrugged and walked back to my room while holding a cup of rose tea.

LEVI POV

I sat down on my chair facing the large piles of paperwork in front of me. But that wasn't what I was thinking about. The only person I knew that liked to drink rose tea was her. I looked at my necklace, which reminded me of her presence. I constantly wondered who she was. Could it be y/n? Or was it all a coincidence again? I shook my head in despair. I don't know why, but I always feel the need to care or comfort her whenever she is upset. Just like this morning. Heck, I don't even know why I hugged her. It just felt so natural to touch her. Her scent was not foreign to me at all. I sighed.

But I couldn't afford to think about this much longer. I needed to get all these done.
