An Ackerman's secret

3

"Oh Mila I'm so glad to see you up and well!" Hange ran up to me, grinning from ear to ear. They grabbed me into an embrace as tightly as thsy could before jumping backwards, realising I'm still extremely sore.

"Who said I was well?" I questioned which made them immediately go into mum mode, asking loads of questions and checking every little thing.

I burst out into laughter and they realised they had been fooled, I very sadly got a glare as punishment.

"Off to see Levi are you?" They took notice of the black tea in my hands.

I thought a 'thank you' wasn't enough for the fact that he literally saved my life, so a free tea, which I'm excellent at making, I thought would do the job.

I nodded, "Wish me luck." They did and let me be on my way. Levi's room was at the far corner of the hallway, so I had to be careful not to drop the tea for even longer.

This man better appreciate this.

Turning to what I presumed to be his door, I knocked and the door immediately opened, but not to Levi.

"I could smell that tea from a mile away." Miche looked at me then down at the tea. Shit. I smiled and stood at his doorway, extremely awkwardly because what the hell am I meant to do?

He leaned forwards towards me and moved his face to my hair. My heart stopped and for a second I didn't even have full control over my movements, my instinct took all control.

I dropped the tea and grabbed his arm, twisting it so he couldn't move, before flipping him over. He landed on the ground with a loud smack.

"What the fuck are you doing." I hardened my eyes at him, unable to calm myself down while he looked up at me in complete shock. The door behind me opened and I soon realised Levi's room was the one on the left, not right.

Miche stood up and his confusion turned into anger. "What are YOU doing?" He stepped closer to me, which infuriated me even more and I just blanked out.

I kneed him in the stomach, then kicking his legs so he fell back down to the ground. As I moved to get on top of him I felt arms pull me back, "Calm down cadet." Levi warned.

I slowed my breathing and pushed his arms off, turning to walk away.

I'm suddenly slammed into the wall next to me, taking my breath away and instantly winding me. "Don't walk away from me." His eyes  stared into mine with authority.

I stayed silent, just doing whatever I could so I could get back to my room as quickly as possible. But instead, he called for someone to help Miche and dragged me into his room, shutting the door behind us.

"Sit." He commanded.

I obeyed and adjusted my clothes while I waited for him. He sat down in front of me, resting his legs on the table.

"Silent now, huh?" I wasn't intimidated by Levi, well, maybe, but that wasn't the reason for my silence. I'm embarrassed because I lashed out without thinking and assaulted my superior

"I have nothing to say."

He kept his gaze on me before scoffing, proceeding to take his legs off the table and stand up. He slowly walked next to me and leant against the table, crossing his legs and arms. "Not gonna explain that performance?"

"He did something that triggered a reaction I'm not proud of."

I finally looked up at him now that I was calmer. He raised his eyebrows and nodded for me to go on. But I wasn't in the mood to sit here and explain my reasoning.
