➸ YOU WALK ALONG ARMIN AND MIKASA —

to get to Levi's lecture. You attempt to stay part of the conversation but couldn't help but let your mind wonder to Levi. He had left you a very cryptic text about staying after class today just an hour after the grocery trip. Nervousness was an understatement.

So you put on your cutest outfit on in hopes to bring up your confidence around the man that stared down at you as if you were two inches tall. Armin stops to open the classroom door for you both and pulls out a chair for you.

"Thanks Armin." you smile and sit down as he takes the seat to your left while Mikasa was on your right. Sasha had fallen asleep on her textbook and Eren hugged his girlfriend as if she had returned from war.

"Thank you." Armin leans on his hand to look at you, "What we made on saturday was amazing, we have to do it again."

You nod, "Sure we can. I have a whole recipe book."

The blonde lets out a sigh and taps one of the rings on your fingers, "You're so cute when you cook, so concentrated I'm afraid to even breathe." he jokes and before you could give a response, Levi stands up from his desk to start.

You two make brief eye contact and you frown at the notice of his tired eyes. Well he always had tired eyes but he looked exhausted.

"Get with a partner, read chapters two and three then complete the worksheet." he taps the paper that was on the table next to his desk and then sits down once again to go back to his computer.

"Partner?" Armin turns to ask you and you hum in agreement as you reached for your bag to grab your textbook. "I'll read chapter two and you read chapter three then we collaborate on the homework. Boom." he raises a first and you bump it with a smile.

"I knew we were meant to be partners." you say and catch the small wink he gives you. Now you focus on chapter three and once you finish the first paragraph you couldn't help but let your eyes glance over to Levi. He was still looking at the computer with slightly furrowed brows and your heart nearly jumps out of your chest when his eyes meet yours suddenly.

But you don't look away and neither does he. You try to read his face but it was impossible, as if he was wearing a mask. He looks away first and types away on his keyboard and you resume your reading without looking at him again.

i wanna be yours — arctic monkeys

You begin to pack your things slowly and tell your friends you had to go talk to another professor down the hall which made them leave without question. You walk to Levi's desk and set your bag down.

"You wanted to see me." you say nervously.

Levi doesn't say anything but walks to the door to shut it softly. You lean against the table and play with the end of your shirt. He steps in front of you and leans against his desk, shoulders tense and eyes waiting to make contact with yours.

"I just wanted to give you a heads up that I will be requesting you move to another history lecture. Same time but different professor."

This was not what you expected.

Your mouth opens but nothing comes out, how do you reply to that? Tension rose between you two and you finally find something to say. "Why?"

He exhales through his nose and crosses his arms over his chest, "I don't think I need to say it out loud." he mutters.

"So you can't teach a student because you slept with them?" you ask.

Makes sense.

Levi sighs, "That amongst another reason as well."

You rub your forehead, "What other reason? I'm doing what you told me to do. I'm not trying to peruse you Levi. I understand that I'm only a student now and now that I'm also friends with Mikasa.." your shoulders fall in defeat as this was going nowhere. "I understand." you repeat and stand up straight to grab your bag.

Levi doesn't say anything until your hand reaches for the handle. He grabs your arm to turn you around to face him. Your heart races at the contact and he looks at you with cold eyes that were searching through yours for something.

"Because when I see you I just want to bend you over my desk and fuck you harder than I did that night." his hand lets go of your arm, "That's my other reason."

Your bag falls from your slumped shoulder and you look at Levi, trying to see if he was going to say this was a joke.

But you didn't take Levi as the joking type.

So instead you take a step closer and pull him into a kiss but his shirt and his arms circle around your waist immediately. You get the familiar taste of mint when his tongue meets yours to deepen the kiss. Levi cups your jaw with one hand and pushes you against the wall when you pull away and grab his arm to check the time on his fancy watch.

"Shit, I have class." you get out from his hold and grab your bag while trying to catch your breath. Levi fixes his shirt and you look at him with a worried expression, "You're not mad about that right?" you refer to the kiss although he very much kissed back.

"Are you?" he asks.

You shake your head, "No.. you know if I had time I would get down —"

He cuts you off with a kiss and opens the door for you, "Get to class while you still can."

As tempted as you were to close the door and kiss him again, you walk out. "Bye Levi."

"Mister Ackerman." he corrects firmly and makes sure no one was around when he says, "Also, we'll need to talk tonight."

You stop right outside the door frame, "About what?"

"I said we'll talk about it tonight." is all he says before shutting off the room light and walking in the opposite way that you were going.

You look down the hallway and roll your eyes at his back, "Stop being so cryptic!"

"Stop rolling your eyes at me." he says back, "I'll email your professor to excuse your tardiness." Levi looks over his shoulder to say and you couldn't stop the usual butterflies from erupting in your stomach.

But soon they settled down and instead you began to worry about how you would be able to hide this from your friends.
