A Match Made In Hell - Levi Ackerman

Chapter 1

7 years ago...

Im stood outside with the rest of the Survey Corps about to start our daily training.

"Ugh, how long is Erwin gonna take, Hange" I complain to the brunette standing beside me.

"I'm sure he will be here soon, apparently he has some big announcement" Hange says cheerfully.

I sigh in response. It's 8am, I don't know how this girl has that much energy this time in the morning.

As soon as i turned to face the front, Erwin has already came out.

A small, dark haired man wearing the Survey Corp uniform followed behind him. "Who's that midget?" I whisper to Hange, not quiet enough as i hear a couple giggles around me.

"That 'midget' is Levi Ackerman, he will be joining the Survey Corps" Erwin answers, finally coming to a stop infront of everyone.

The midget next to him gives me a cold, nasty glare as we all salute to our commander.

"Levi would you like to tell everyone about yourself" Erwin suggests.

"No" The raven haired man says still starring directly at me with his cold gaze.

"Right, well to show all of you what Levi can do i need a volunteer, to battle him in hand-to-hand combat" Erwin commands.

The silence is loud as everyone looks around to see who would volunteer.

"Arabella since you were so quick to judge why don't you" Erwin demands.

"Go humanity's strongest" Hange whispers/shouts out to me, brushing my shoulder.

Ever since i started here, that has been my nickname and i hate it. Yes, i may be the best at killing titans but i hate when people treat me different because of it but i guess im stuck with it.

"Oh shut up" i brush her off smiling at Hange as i walk to the front.

Levi still has a firm stare at me, slightly smirking, looking a lot less emotionless as i walk to the front.

He must be good if Erwin can make him part of the Survey Corps without training, but he can't be better than me, right?

I hear small whispers coming from the crowd.

"Arabellas gonna win".

"I bet you my dinner that Arabella will beat him".

The small comments fuelling me up, giving me more confidence.

We get ready into our fighting stance when i realise Levi is taller than me. From where i was stood he looked about 4"9 but he's actually about 5"3, making me 3 inches smaller.

"Best out of 3, first to the ground looses that round. Ready when you are".

I quickly go to roundhouse kick him in the side of his stomach but he pushes my foot away and attempts to jab me in the face but i push his fist away.

We continue fighting both not managing to hit each other at all, both starting to loose energy.

I go to kick him again but he grabs onto my ankle pulling it so i fall to the floor, hitting my back against the concrete, luckily it wasn't a hard fall but I hear the crowd infront of us make 'oooo' sounds as they wince just by watching.

Erwin starts a 5 second countdown to see if I have been knocked down or not.

I quickly twist my leg around Levi's and pull him to the ground. we start wresting, pulling at each others limbs, trying to get on top eachother.

I somehow was able to wrap my thighs around his neck keeping him in a headlock whilst my head was also locked by Levi's arms.

We are tangled around each other, making our grips gradually tighter. "That's enough, Tie!, get back into your fighting positions". We both untangle ourselves and get back into our stance.

We continue to fight again with less stamina than the last round. Sweat started to form on both our foreheads, making a couple strands of hair stick to me.

Somehow, Levi managed to swing his leng round mine, tripping me up onto my stomach. I turn onto my back as fast as possible, ready to get up again but got stopped when Levi pins me to the ground, straddling me, hands either side of my head.

Erwin had already started his countdown. " 3...2...".

Levi gives me a quick smirk but he was too slow. Before he could notice I used all my force to flip him over at the last second. Now I was straddling him giving him a smirk.

His hands are rested on my hips and slide slowly down my thighs, sending me butterflies.

"1...0. Tie!" Erwin shouts again. Levi pushes me off as my smirk drops and his rises again.

"What i clearly won that round" I call out. This fight is so biased I think to myself.

"I said that's a tie, get ready for the final round to declare the winner" Erwin demands.

I roll my eyes and we get back into our stance. The crowd are silent in anticipation to see the winner. I have to win or I will no longer be humanity's strongest soldier,  humanity's best hope.

I go to punch Levi but he grabs my fist, twisting it and he effortlessly throws me over his shoulder.

I land on my spine with a huge thud. Everyone winces, some covering their eyes.

"Aghhh" I growl in agony, arching my back in pain, tilting my head back trying to soothe the stinging ache in my back.

"Levi has won!" Erwin shouts. Some people watching cheer, bringing me back to my senses.

"What you haven't even done a countdown!" I complain sitting up, eyebrows furrowed.

"There is no need its clear Levi has won. Everyone find a partner and work on you combat!" Erwin demands.

Levi begins to walk off, Back facing me. He suddenly stops and turns his head to look over his shoulder.

"Midget" he exclaims, using my words and turns to carry on walking off.

"Ugh" i roll my eyes. Hange comes over. She is normally my partner when we train.

"Hange take Arabella to sort out her bruises" Erwin demands.

"Im fine, I don't need help" i scoff.

"That was an order" Erwin demands and walks away to watch everyone training.

Me and Hange walk past everyone to go inside, getting a couple stares along the way.

"I guess Levi is humanity's new strongest".

"looks like Arabella isn't as strong as we thought".

"It's about time someone has beaten her".

"That Levi guy is so hot though"

I overhear from different peoples convocations.

And that is why I Hate Levi Ackerman.
