Humanities Strangest - Levi x Reader

Chapter 4

The both of you arrived at the market and approached the stand selling tea. "What can I get do you?" The lady working smiled at Levi.

"Black tea." He said bluntly.

You pushed yourself up on your tiptoes while mumbling "My favorite." You smiled and looked at the other teas they had in stock.

After paying, the both of you departed the small stand and walked through the market. "Just black tea, Sir?" You asked confused. Why not buy a few different kinds? You thought.

He glanced at you coldly before looking away, "We seem to be running low on black tea specifically."

"Oh" you responded. Oops.. you may be the reason. Not that you would tell cranky pants that.

You both approached the stand selling seasonings. After picking the few items up the both of you went back to the cart.

Once the two of you got back to the horses you saw that no one else made it back yet. "Tch.. incompetent idiots." Levi shook his head.

After a few moments of silence you looked at Levi "Captain?"

"Yes." He said, still looking straight ahead.

"Why do you think we are idiots?" You asked bluntly. You may not have been competitive or needlessly rude; you were however quiet but blunt. And kind of a smartass when needed. I mean he already hates me anyway. Might as well ask.

Without looking over to you he stated "No one has given me a reason to think otherwise. As far as I'm concerned, you are all a pain in my ass and one wrong move away from being Titan fodder." He said harshly.

Ouch. You sighed and looked away. "You just aren't very nice are you." You scoffed.

"No." He walked toward the cart and put the things the two of you just bought inside. "You will be cleaning the stables when we get back. I want it spotless."

Before you could reply, Jean and Armond returned followed by Eren an Mikasa, placing their items in the cart. Levi ordered us to wait at the card as he left to do whatever the prick wanted.

"The Captain is SUCH an ass." You sighed, leaning back on the wagon. "He has me cleaning the stables when we get back."

"What did you do to piss him off," Jean laughed "It's not like he knew you were late." Just as fast as Levi left he was back. Preventing you from answering Jean.

Not long after you got back, you began cleaning the stables. Horses shit so much.. you whined to yourself as you shoveled more manure into the wheelbarrow. Maybe your comment to the captain pissed him off. Though he didn't seem too mad. Stupid depressed little man. You thought to yourself.

After that you replaced the hay in the stalls, swept and mopped floors, wiped down everything. You know how anal the Corporal was keeping things clean. After about four hours you were finally done.

As promised the Corporal checked your work. He slid his slender fingers under every windowsill, railing and ledge he could find. You smirked. He wouldn't be able to find a single thing out of place. "Is it all up to par, Corporal?" You asked sarcastically.

Without words Levi walked up to you and gave you a knee to the gut, causing you to fall to your knees. He then picked you up by your hair and bent you over the, now empty but still very dirty, wheelbarrow, "Watch your attitude, Cadet." He hissed as you gasped for air. He released you.

You pulled yourself together and stood up, glaring daggers at him. "I apologise, Sir." You said through your teeth. That fucking prick.

He looked you up and down. "We are done here. Go clean your clothes, you look like you just finished rolling in horse shit, you look pathetic." He glared at you as you stood there waiting for him to leave. It was clear he was not planning to. "Now!" He barked, impatiently.

You turned, rolling your eyes as soon as he couldn't see you, walking over to your saddle bag you pulled out your book and left. You could feel his cold stare the entire time.

When you got back and finished washing your clothes, it was 8:00pm. You saw Mikasa about to go into her room and called out to her "Hey!"

"Hey (y/n), how was stable cleaning?" She asked.

"Fucking terrific." You said sarcastically. "So happy I'm on Corporal Shorty's squad." You rolled your eyes.

"He is alot to get used to." Mikasa confirmed.

"He made me miss supper too, the prick." You grumbled as you opened your door. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Once inside you put your clean clothes aside and looked at yourself in the mirror. You had to change into your other uniform because the other one literally smelled like shit. You made an angry sigh as you draped your jacket over its usual chair, setting the book on the desk and fell back onto your bed. Before you knew it you were asleep.

--------------

When you opened your eyes you groaned. Uggghhhhhh! You saw the time. 1:45am. Though you fell asleep at around 8 so you got more sleep than usual. You got up and stepped into your slippers, grabbing your book. Stopping, you glanced in the mirror. I'm going to have to start wearing pyjamas, I can't keep sleeping in my uniform.

You carefully walked down to the mess hall and opened the door. Dark, quiet and seemingly empty. "Figures.." you said aloud.

You walked to the kitchen to begin your routine. Candle. Matches. Tea. Book. Then you sat at the table.

Opening the book you began reading aloud where you left off the other night, sipping your tea. You were still pissed from the day. So this was not as calming or plesent for you as it normally was.

About an hour in you stopped. "You know what.." you said angerly before marking your page and slamming the book closed, making a loud noise that echoes through the mess hall. "I have had the worst day." You almost yelled. "I can still smell the horse shit!" You stood up, the wooden chair screeching on the floor.

You looked over to the left. You normally entered the kitchen from the right but about 15-20 feet over there was another gap in the wall on the left that led into the kitchen. You were maybe ten feet from it. You started to storm toward the left enterance. "I have had Corporal Hardass Shitting on my day!..." Your voice echoed. Anger preventing you from being quiet. You were a few feet away "If you are going to be here EVERY night at LEAST have the decency to-"

You rounded the dark corner and stopped in your tracks. Two icy eyes looked back at you, striking fear into what used to be anger. You stumbled backward, falling over. "What the fuck.." you squinted up at the figure in the shadows. "Is that..." You said to yourself.

"Corporal Hardass." A familiar voice said bluntly.
