I placed my cup of water on the table, listening to the conversations around me. I had finished my dinner, but still stayed in my seat. Out of the corner of my eye I could see the Captain as well as Hange and Erwin conversing at their usual spot. Hange was motioning with her hands, grinning from her to ear. She then pointed at me.

She was saying something to Levi, but he just turned his gaze away from me.
I felt tiny under his gaze, the way I had before. He was distant for some reason. I hadn't seen him in days, we hadn't talked since I mentioned the dream.
I grew angry at his expression, watching as he rolled his eyes as I could see Hange visibly confused. She could tell he was purposefully steering clear of me. I didn't know why.

I clenched my fist.

Two tankards of beer slammed down infront of me. The table rumbled. I wasn't surprised in the slightest at who it was. I sighed. "Hello, Harlin."

He was drunk.

"Section Commander," He hiccuped, raising his cup to the air. "You should join me for a drink!"

I pushed the other tankard away, but he pushed it back. He was persistent. "Harlin you know I don't drink."

"It won't hurt to try," He spilled some down his cheek as he took a big gulp, swallowing with a refreshing gasp.
My eyes fell onto the tankard, watching the bubbling liquid. I looked back over my shoulder at Levi, who was now piercing his glare into both me and Harlin. Just looking at him began to make me feel parched, and an unknown feeling journeyed up my veins.

My fingers wrapped around the tankard, and I flashed Levi a daring look before turning to Harlin and downing the entire cup in one go. It was a disgustingly bitter taste, and I bit my lips once I was done, whiping my mouth off with my sleeve. Harlin shouted with excitement. "Woo! Go Section Commander!"

I stood, pulling Harlin's tankard from his grip, slipping my fingers into the handle. I dumped the rest of the alcohol in my mouth, tipping my head up to the ceiling as I drank it. I slammed the cup down. Harlin stared up at me from his seat.

"You should stop drinking so much alcohol," I told him firmly, my eyes narrowed. I then shifted around, watching Levi's skeptical eyes from across the room. I smirked over at him, my feet carrying me to his seat. I placed my palms on the edge of the table.
It had been a few moments since I drank my first sip, already starting to feel out of control. I must be a light-weight.

Levi scowled up at me as I reached my hand out, sneaking my hands into the collar of his shirt, pulling us closer to eachother. I liked this tactic. "Why are you avoiding me?" I asked, eyes looking at his lips with a strange thirst. Hange and Erwin watched as I smiled.

Levi deepened his glare. "You reek of alcohol."

I stuck my bottom lip out, pouting. "Why aren't you answering the question?"

He held my gaze. I brought my vision all over his face, taking in how finely shaped his features were. His bottom lip was curved downward, his dark brows furrowed. His hair had grown out slightly, and his eyes glistened in the candlelight. I leaned even closer.

"Have you always been this good looking?" I teased, his eyes boring into mine. Despite his scowl, I could see a glimmer of the same thirst I felt flash through his eyes. My body moved on it's own, my lips pressing against his. I ignored the gasps that arose from the other Scouts, kissing him until I was satisfied.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

When I pulled away, a string of saliva connected our lips before dissipating. I smirked down at him, standing as he remained sat.

"That's for the days missed," I glowered. I slipped by fingers down his cheek and neck, stepping away. He was silent in the room of shouts, people chattering frantically. Hange was dumbfounded, her jaw on the floor.

"See you around, Captain."

I left the Mess Hall, dizziness casting over me as I used the wall for stability. That was too much alcohol for someone like me.

As I neared my room, I grew too lazy to open the door, sliding down the wall and sitting in the empty hallway. I had grown a faint headache, and it felt like I was swimming in a fishbowl.

I groaned, bringing my knees up to my chest. The taste of beer still clung to my tongue, and it bothered me. I wasn't drunk, but definitely tipsy.

I heard a set of footsteps near up beside me. "You've got the whole Mess Hall in a mess."

I looked up at Levi as he bent down to be at eye level with me. He brushed my hair out of my face. I grabbed his hand, holding it still in the air. "Don't."

My lips quivered as I looked at his handsomely sculpted expression. "You should stay away from me," I warned.

"I thought you didn't want me to avoid you anymore?"

"That was when I could control myself," I pushed him back. "I don't think I'll ever be able to stop kissing you if you get any closer."

Levi layed an arm over his knee as he sat, raising a brow romantically. "I don't mind if you kiss me."

He wasn't helping. "Levi-"

"But," He intercepted me. "What's going on between you and that soldier?" He was referring to Harlin, and my eyes widened.

"Are you jealous?" I choked on a laugh. He didn't like my reaction. "Just tell me why he's so set on being around you."

"Well I'd imagine it's the same reason as you," I concluded, using a hand to pick off a piece of lint from Levi's shirt. "You weren't able to resist me, and neither is he."

I then shifted my gaze back to Levi from his shirt, craving his lips. "The only difference is," I scooted closer, throwing him off. "I only have eyes for you. You're the one who got the girl."

His shoulders relaxed. "I suppose I am," He cupped my cheeks with his hands, drawing me in for a vehement and hot kiss. We were both on our knees, his hands holding my arms down now as he drank in my lips, pushing me up against the hall walls, both of us sliding up as we stood. When we parted, I panted heavily.

I gave him a disheartened frown. "Why are you stopping?"

"You're drunk," He stated. "We can't."

"I am not drunk," I argued. I was slightly loose on my feet, but I was fine.

"Still," He said.

The Captain's voice created a chill that ran down my spine. "I want to make sure you to remember every detail," He whispered seductively, my heart stopping.

"You fox!" I jabbed my hand into his shoulder, grinning. Levi smirked, backing up.

"Till then," He brought my hand up to his lips, planting a gentle kiss on the back of it. My eyes followed him as he walked off.

How lucky was I to be involved with him. I felt my heart take control of me, pounding through every inch of my body. I almost couldn't wait to see him again.

Tomorrow, we'd be placed on another mission on separate squads. I wouldn't get to fight alongside him.
I warily thought about what may happen, but pryed the thought out of my head as I entered my office.
