Tensions (Levi X Reader)

Ch. 2: Mistletoe

You slowly made your way back to the dinning area you were sitting at with the group, in hopes that there wouldn't be an awkward atmosphere in contrast to the cheerful celebration that's been going on.

Looking towards the table, everyone is still there, except for Jean.

Armin gives you a slight wave, as you sit back down.

"Where's Jean," you ask unassuringly.

As Connie replys, "When he came back, he chugs down both his glass and Marco's glass of booze, then says he's going to sleep. Since Marco can't take drinks well. So he left."

"Did Marco leave too?" you ask, looking around for the tall freckled boy.

"Well, we told him to leave Jean be and stay with us. But Marco insists that he has to see Jean back," Sasha says.

"Aw, I wanted to spent some quality time with him. Guess I missed the chance again. He seems like such a nice guy," you say as you pick up your own small glass of booze that's been sitting on the table, next to your empty plate.

"What's that in your hand?" Eren asks.

You take a glance at Eren, now sitting across from you. Then look back at your hand holding the mistole.

"A mistole," you say, as you put it on the wooden table.

Connie gasps.

All of you glance at Connie with his exaggerated expression while eyeing at the mistole, then glances at you.

"It's not what you think. We didn't...kiss under the mistole... If that's what you're thinking!" you say.

Connie let out a heavy breath, as if he had held it.

"Oh wow, I thought something happened," Connie let out a sigh of relief.

You purse your lips as you glance at the mistole. "We fought.." you say as you let out a groan, and lightly bang your forehead at the wooden table top, as you were once again reminded of Jean's never ending confession.

Then abruptly, a cheerful voice breaks you out of your thoughts, as you lift your head back up and meets the twinkling eyes of Hange through her lenses.

"_____! What's with the frown on this cute little face of yours," Hange says, as she clasps her hand under your chin, her fingers lightly squeezes your cheeks, making you plump your lips.

You wanted to chuckle at the sight of Hange, looking at Hange's crimson colored face from all the booze she had already drank.

"Well, it's a long story." you say.

"Is it Jean again?" she asks.

You raise your eyebrows at her, after she had let go of your face, you ask, "How did you know?"

"It's obvious, even someone who isn't in the group would know. And it's been awhile hasn't it?" Hange says.

"It's that obvious?!" you question while glancing among the faces of the group surrounding you. They all nod slowly, even the uninterested Mikasa gives a definite nod at your direction.

You look at Hange with hopeful eyes, "I think I've tried everything and made it clear. But he said he won't give up." You quickly cups Hange's hands into yours as you say, "As my superior, give me some advice, will you?" Your eyes glistens up at her, as she looks down. Somehow her face got even redder.

Hange looks slightly to the side, as she clears her throat. Then glances back at you as she says, "Well, I'm not sure. If I'm the one you should be asking for advice on something like this. Mine has been complicated.."
