Tensions (Levi X Reader)

Ch. 1: December

It's that time of the year again.

Where snowflakes flutter down the cold winter air.

The trees now bare.

The sun sets just a bit longer, as it covers the white lanscape with its orange yellowish glow.

You look at the snow covered landscape, which extends out to the horizon as far as your eyes could reach.

Sitting inside the mess hall, engulf in the warmth of the festivities that's going on in this time of year. Bustling with laughter, the smell of mouth watering food and faint smell of fresh pine wreaths which hung on the doors and wrapped around the beams fills your senses.

Pressing the warm pads of your fingers against the cold contrasting temperature of the glass pane window. You watch the little patch of hot air fogging up the glass as you take in and let out a slow steady breath.

"_____!" you hear two voices calling out towards you in unison. Their footsteps coming closer, as you turn your head away from the window, which you've been sitting next to. And lay your eyes on the cheerful red haired girl, Sasha, and the easy going boy who has a big grin on his face, Connie. Running towards where you're slowly getting up from the seat at the moment.

Taking your stance, standing by the side of the long bench and dining table, as Sasha lunges herself towards you. You also wrap your arms around her to give her a warm snuggly hug.

Connie chuckles lightly at the sight, as he says, "Are you happy to see ____, or are you happy cuz you saw food?"

Sasha turns her sharp death glare towards Connie, as she continues to wrap her arms around you while she speaks, "Of course, I'm happy to see ____. Since we went our separate ways!"

You were assigned to be on Hange's team, after graduating from being a cadet. While Sasha was sent to Levi's team. And all of you had been in the Survey Corps for just a little over two years.

"Well, just making sure. On the way here, Sasha was starting to get hangry." Connie says.

After you, Connie, and Sasha got plates of food from the food counter. The three of you begin to eat. Slowly but surely the mess hall was full of people.

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin come to sit across from the three of you after getting their food.

"Thanks for saving the seats," Armin says with a big smile.

"My pleasure," you reply as you smile back.

Then Jean and Marco come by after getting their dinner. Jean squeezes his way in the spot, where he could sit directly across from you.

You glance up at him, as he catches your glance, he gives you a wide grin.

You narrow your eyes at him. Jean had been very evident in showing that he has feelings for you. But that feeling hasn't been reciprocated for about a year now. You have and always have seen him as a comrade, nothing more nothing less. Despite his obvious advances.

As you were finishing your plate of food, Sasha suddenly gives you a hopeful glance. You blink at her, then glances at your piece of untouched bread on your plate. Without her even uttering a word, you knew what she wanted. And you're willing to give her everything, even if it was the last piece of food on a plate. You let out a slight chuckle as Sasha snuggle up to you, as she starts gnawing on that bread that you'd just given her.

You got up to get some cranberry sauce with a nice scoop of mashed potatoes, as you start eating Sasha once again looks at you with hopeful eyes.

"You want some?" you ask Sasha.
