An Ackerman's secret

16

Levi walked in with his eyes squinted at the scene in front of him. Everyone rushed to hide what was going on but he wasn't bothered. Walking over to the dining table, he ran his hand underneath it to reveal it was covered in dust. Oh we're screwed.

He held his hand in front of his face, rolling his eyes, "I'm quite sure I gave you enough time." He scanned over us all, resting his eyes on me for a few seconds before he turned to Eren. "Anyways. We'll discuss your lax cleaning job another time. Eren, Hange is itching to get the experiment started."

Levi walked to his room, giving everyone time to get ready before our meeting with Hange. I had finally finished his tea so I followed him to his room, knocking on it before I entered. Once he called for me to come in, I opened the door, being careful not to drop the cup.

He was sat on his chair with his legs crossed, looking me up and down as I walked towards him.

"I brought you some tea." I placed it down on the small table besides him. He nodded as a thank you and I turned to leave, assuming he didn't want my presence.

"Mila. Stay for a bit."

I stopped dead in my tracks, unsure if he was serious. Well of course he was, but I thought that he would want to be alone and having me there would just be annoying, but I assumed wrong. I sat down in the chair next to him, waiting to see his reaction to my tea.

He raised it to his lips and took a sip, "You made this?" I nodded and he raised his eyebrows, which I guessed meant that he was surprised it wasn't bad. He placed it back down and adjusted the collar of his shirt, seeing him in a suit was completely different to him in his uniform.

"What was all that commotion about then?"

I laughed, "Just them arguing as always. Nothing new." He didn't seem impressed but I could tell that they meant a lot to him, and arguing was better than any of them getting hurt fighting titans. It was peaceful, even if they were constantly shouting.

"Tch. Of course." He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Why does he pull off a suit so well? I couldn't help but stare and admire how well it fit him, the fact that it was black too just made it way better.

"What are you staring at?" He caught me and snapped me out of it. I looked away, hiding my red face of embarrassment.

Me and Levi haven't spoken much since the mission to save Eren, we had grown closer without either of us knowing or acknowledging it, but once I realised it, I was pleased. I had yet to find out any of his weaknesses and he sure as hell wouldn't tell me about any, but I loved learning more about him, he was a mystery that I was interested in.

"Nothing. Just thinking."

"About what exactly?" He pressured me for an answer and now I had to conjure up one. I couldn't just tell him I was thinking about what he would look like without that suit on.

"Just, you know." Think you dumb bitch. "About our next moves." God I'm an awful liar. I knew that Levi could see straight through me when he lowered his eyes and gave me a look. I prayed he would just let it go and change the subject.

Fuck, what is wrong with me?

He stood up and walked in front of me, grabbing my chin with his hand to lift my head up to look at him. I froze and gazed into his eyes as he smirked, completely aware of the effect he had on me, we had to go soon and we were wasting our time.

"Levi-" I paused as he ran his thumb over my bottom lip.

"Mm?" He looked amused and didn't move. My heart was racing and I didn't dare to look away from him, but at the same time I could barely breathe seeing him look down at me like that. Was he just trying to prove he has power over me?
