Remembrance ; Levi

C. 40 | Distaste

"You look terribly disappointed," you pointed out, bluntly.

Jin's smile seemed forced. "And so what if I am?" Suddenly, a knock came at his door. "Oh, I'll get it for you." You said, standing up.

But as you opened the door, you saw Hana waiting there, sitting in her wheelchair. A look of surprise came over her as she met your eyes.

"Who is i- oh." Jin had appeared from behind you, peering outside. "Hana! Come inside!" He smiled.

You opened the door wider for her, and returned to your seat. The floorboards creaked as Hana rolled herself inside.

"How are you doing?" Jin asked her softly, his hand resting on top of her head. A look of great happiness came over her expression as Jin's hand touched her hair. "I'm fine," she answered, softly.

"What is she doing here?" She asked, looking up at him.

'I'm hungry...'

"She just came to confirm something." Jin smiled at her as he wheeled her over to the table. Hana's expression was complicated as she gazed up at him.

"(Y/N) knows...?" Hana softly asked as her eyes turned to you. Uncomfortable, you could only squirm in your seat.

"About me? Yes, she knows."

Hana was silent, yet she seemed to be glaring at you. "I see."

'Um, why are they talking about me as if I'm not here...' You hung your head, and sighed just a bit.

"Anyway, Hana, I heard that you've been trying hard to separate (Y/N) and Levi." Jin changed the subject, his eyes coolly staring straight at Hana, who seemed to shrink at this.

"It's all in the past, now." She murmured, avoiding his eyes. "I haven't done anything in a long time," Hana's fingers twitched.

"The fact that you tried to hurt them, our friends, Hana..." Jin calmly sat in his chair, his hands folded in front of him.

"I know." Hana was visibly shaking. "I-I know, Jin. I'm sorry."

"It's not me who you should be saying that to," Jin said, smoothly. His eyes flickered to you. "I'm sorry," Hana turned to you, her eyes full of something that you couldn't quite make out.

But that something was definitely not apologetic. Jin, who didn't seem to notice, smiled and his fingers gently hovered over her cheeks. "That's what I wanted to hear."

Hana's cheeks turned bright pink.

"Hey, lovebirds, can you please not do that while I'm here?" You spoke up, running a hand through your messy hair.

"L-l-lovebi-"

"We're not like that," Jin chuckled, making Hana's gaze turn to the ground. You could just barely see her hands- tightened into balls.

"I-Is that right?" You smiled. "You guys seem really close." With a poker face, you watched Hana's expression.

The moment you had said that, her eyes flickered up to you, full of hate.

The moment you had arrived back, you found Eren, Mikasa, and Armin standing outside your door. "What's up, kids?" You asked, with a smile.

"Hey, we're not even that much younger than you." Eren prompted, with a successful smirk. "Alright, alright. What are you guys doing here? Just standing in front of my door like that..." You cocked your head sideways.

"We're here for the Corporal," Armin said. Next to him, Mikasa nodded. "Lev?" You raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you guys just knock?"

"Because it's Levi-heichou!" Eren hissed.

Shaking your head, you opened the door to his room. "I'll get him for you." You, yourself, was surprised that he had actually left it unlocked. "Lev?" You whispered.

Finding him slumped at his desk, sleeping with all the stacks of paper surrounding him in neat piles, you immediately took his coat off the nearby rack, and gently covered his back.

"You know, Levi, I wouldn't do this for anyone else," you laughed as you leaned down towards him. "C'mon, how long are you going to keep acting?"

Levi's eyes opened. "Tch."

"What- did you think I wouldn't notice or something? That's unusual, even for you, Lev." You said, as you moved around his room.

"Shut up," he mumbled, drawing a hand through his hair. Levi slipped on his jacket, and stared up at you, expectantly. "Well?"

"Well what?"

"What are you here for?" He asked, sighing.

"Oh! Right! Those three are outside your door, waiting for you." You smiled.

"Tch. I thought you were here for a different reason."

"...a different reason?"

Levi waved you away. "I'll go see those kids, alright? I'm afraid if I stay here any longer, your dense personality will rub off on me."

"H-hey! Dense personality!?"

"That's right, do you have a problem with that?"

"H-how rude, I do not have a dense personality," you bit your bottom lip as you opened the door.

"Levi, we need to talk. Are you busy later?" You asked.

Levi looked up from the documents that he held in his hands. "No, I should be free."

"Good."
