A new chapter!~ Sorry it took so long, Enjoy.

--------------

Levi entered his room, his eyes partly closed; it had just been a couple hours of training the recruits and he was already stressed and exhausted. He, like a deadweight, fell onto his bed, face down, without even realizing [Y/N] was sitting right beside him. 

"Finally, you're back! I was beginning to worry you weren't coming back," [Y/N] said, letting out a sigh of relief. Levi jumped up, startled at her lack of presence. He glared at her, crossing his arms. 

"What?" He sternly asked. He was back to his usual self. That morning he seemed like a totally different person, getting flustered and embarrassed easily; he even blushed, something he hadn't done for as long as he could remember. No one had made him act that way before she came along; it completely ruined his day. 

"Hanji didn't tell you?" She replied, giving him a confused look. Levi gave her the same, puzzled look. "You're supposed to take me to meet the recruits and watch them train," She had a wide smile, excited for what would come her way. Maybe I'll make some friends. Oh, I really want to go. Right now. They are soldiers, and most of them have probably been frightened out of their personalities, but they are still young teenagers. They must long for friends as much as I do, right? 

"How'd you convince her to do something as idiotic as that?" He asked frustrated. Hanji knew well enough that [Y/N] was supposed to be hidden away, for fuck's sake, she was the one who told them the girl should be kept away from them, and now she's totally fine with letting her out? 

"It was simple," [Y/N] said with a curved smile, walking over to where Levi stood. "There's no way you expected me to stay hidden from them forever, right? I mean it's part of human nature to socialize. The recruits might need a new friend, no?" 

[Y/N] latched onto his arm and pulled him towards the open door and pushed him out. "Now, let's go before you start arguing with me," She requested, slamming the door behind them. 

That idiot Hanji. If it wasn't for that rash plan of hers to make [Y/N] happy no matter what, I would've probably killed this girl by now. She's been pushing my limits ever since she got here and all I get to do is glare at her. 

"Fine, but make sure to not make anyone fall in love you," Levi said as they began walking towards their destination. Even if it was supposed to be taken as a joke, there was some seriousness behind it. They didn't need any romances at a time like that. [Y/N] chuckled and a smirk landed on her face.   

"I'll try, but I can't promise you anything. It seems to be something easy for me... since I've already made you fall in love with me,"[Y/N] cheekily remarked, mentally patting herself on the back at her witty come back. A barely noticeable blush crept onto Levi's face, but it quickly went off as she looked over at him. 

"Tch. You sure don't talk the way you act," Levi replied, turning his face away from her. 

"What do you mean by that? Huh?" [Y/N] loudly asked, placing both her hands on her hips and glaring at him. She anxiously awaited her answer as Levi turned to look back at her. 

"You act and think so innocently, and yet the words that come out of your mouth sure don't show that," She scoffed. "You became a complete mess all because I touched you and overreacted when I barely saw your body, yet you constantly flirt with me," Levi gave her a coherent, yet playful reply. 

[Y/N] now faced the floor, a visible blush on her cheeks. She swiftly returned her vision to Levi, remembering that he didn't like it when people couldn't look him straight in the eyes.
