Intrigued [L. Ackerman x Reader x Eren]

Chapter 13: Rage

"That is so mean!" You snapped back at Eren. "Y/n, don't get so worked up. I always fuck with Jean." Eren laughed. You rolled your eyes. The man in the black suit now stood infront of you. "Eren, I like this one. She's feisty." Jean wiggled his eyebrows, attempting to flirt. Levi, who was now off the phone came from behind you and placed a hand on your shoulder. "Jean, how about you do your job and stop sexually harassing the other employees here? Hm?" Jean's eyes widened. "Sorry, Captain. Yes sir. On my way back to the front." Jean did a 180 and whipped back around to head back to the front door. Eren eyed your shoulder before stepping back into the employee lounge. Levi's hand lingered on your shoulder for a second before he removed it completely. "Idiots....That's Jean, he is one of my bouncers for the bar. He checks IDs as people enter. He is decent enough at what he does." Levi shrugged. You nodded. You didn't know what words to say, you felt as though there was a possessive tension in the air.

"What can I do next? I finished all the tasks you wanted done before we opened." Levi stood and paused. His mind seemed to be pondering over options of what was to come next. Eren's voice came from the doorway as you turned around. "Captain, I still need to count the cash from the register at the bar before we fully open. Jean is already waiting outside since there is a line already. Can y/n help watch as I count the bills to make sure everything is accounted for?" He asked, in an almost challenging tone. You turned back to face Levi. His eyes narrowed and you noticed his jaw clenched. Levi looked at you, trying to read your body language. "If that's something I can help with I can do that quickly and come back, sir?" You softly spoke. Levi's eyes softened, but his jaw remained tight. Through his teeth he muttered, "Fine. Come back immediately when you're done." He sat down at his desk and opened his laptop. You sighed, only loud enough for you to hear and turned to Eren as he motion for you to follow. You gulped at the anticipation at having a moment alone with him. Eren was wearing blue jeans and a black v-neck shirt, which exposed his strong neck and trap muscles. Your stomach felt like it was in knots. You follow behind Eren as he goes behind the bar, opening the register to count the balance. You wanted to remain strong and play hard to get. You were still pissed.

Eren counted the money to himself as you laid against the bar, resting your elbow on the bar and placing your head to lay in your hand. Your eyes remained focused on the bills, not wanting to give Eren the satisfaction of your stare. From the corner of your eyes you notice Eren's gaze move to you. Your body tightened, but eyes remained straight ahead. Eren smirked. "You remember the first night we met?" He asked. You rolled your eyes. "It was just a week ago." He shook his head. "You know what I mean. It was right here. At the bar." Your lips pursed, remembered what a fun night the two of you shared. "I remember." He hesitated but began to speak again. "I meant what I said. I really enjoy spending time with you, y/n." You finally broke and looked at Eren. "Really? Is that why you've ignored my existence since getting a job here?" You snapped. Eren went back to counting the money. He spoke softly, "I'm sorry. I had some personal things come up back home I needed to figure out. I kinda shut everyone out and push them away when the going gets tough. You telling me about the job kinda just threw me for a loop, and it shouldn't have." He didn't look at you. You felt empathy for him. He seemed embarrassed for his actions. You didn't know his situation, but you can empathize for him. You sighed. "I get it. That's fine. But I'm working here whether you like it or not, and I'm not going to pretend I'm invisible for you." Eren looked at you and touched your hand. "I don't think you could be invisible if you tried."

You look to the main door opening, Jean coming back inside. Eren quickly pulled his hand away from you, you reacting the same. Jean didn't seem to notice. "It's about time to let people come in, is the bar ready Yeager?" Jean asks. Eren finishes the last row of bills and closes the register. "Let's do it Horse face." Jean stuck his middle finger in the air at Eren as he turned back around and exited the doors to check IDs. You began to turn around to head back to Levi's office when you feel yourself being pulled back by your waist. Eren pulled you in and whispered in your ear from behind you, "Come over tonight." You pull away and turn your head slightly to look at him. "Only if you're good." You smirked and walked away, leaving Eren begging for more.
