Diamond In The Rough (Levi x Reader)

3- Training

(F/n)'s POV

After eating breakfast, I went outside with squad Levi to train. I'm basically practicing my training for the test to see which squad I'll get put in at the end of the week.

"So who am I going to train with?" I asked them when we got to the training grounds. "I would say me, but I want to see how strong you are first." Levi replied. "I'll train with you." Gunther volunteered.

"Okay." I smiled. We walked over to an open area and got into our fighting stances. "You ready?" He asked. "Yep." I responded.

Gunther made the first move by charging at me. I stood still in my stance until he was about two feet away from me. From there, I quickly ducked down and ran under his legs so I was behind him.

I stood upright again and jumped on his back, making him fall to the ground. He threw me off his back and stood up while I landed on the ground. He brought up his fist, getting ready to punch me in the face.

As his fist swung down, I quickly rolled to side and he punched the ground. He winced at the pain but soon recovered before I kicked his legs with mine, knocking him over.

I swiftly pinned him down yelling, "I win!" "Nice job." He replied as I helped him up. "Thanks." I smiled, now looking over at Levi. "Good job, brat." "Thank you, Levi." I replied.

"Time to go up against me since you seem strong enough."

Does he not remember we would practice hand-to-hand combat when we were younger? Of course I'm strong enough!

We both got into our stances and circled each other for awhile. I decided to make the first move by lunging at him. Once I was close enough, I tried throwing a punch at his shoulder.

Levi was quick enough to step to the side and grab my arm, flipping me over on to my back. While on the ground, Levi tried to pin me down but I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him down as well.

Before he fell on me, I rolled over so he would hit the ground. He looked a little surprised by this but went back to his usual bored expression quickly. Then he used his legs to kick me off of him.

I fell on my back again and he got up before I could and rolled me over so I was lying on my stomach. Levi kneeled down, putting a knee on my back as he held both my arms down.

"You did better than I thought. And you lasted longer then any other cadet that's faced me before." He said, helping me up from the ground. "Why thank you, twinkle toes." I smirked.

Levi's eyes widened a little as his squad stared at us with disbelief. "W-what did you just call me?" He muttered.

Don't you remember?

Flashback

Levi was off cleaning the living room..again. I was over at the abandoned house they stayed in and Levi wouldn't quit cleaning. "The room looks fine, you don't have to clean it over and over again!"

"It may look 'fine' to you, but to me, it's still crawling with bacteria everywhere." He replied, dusting the shit out of a bookshelf. I sighed, giving up on trying to stop him.

"Guys, look what I got!" We heard Isabel squeak with delight, running inside the house. "What is it?" I asked, seeing her holding a small paper bag.

"I got....GLITTER!" She shouted, opening up the paper bag. "And I also got glue so I could stick it something!" She added, setting the glue down on the kitchen table.

"Like what?" Farlan asked. "Hmm..I'm not sure yet." Isabel replied. As Isabel was trying to open the small glitter tube, her elbow knocked over the glue bottle which fell and broke.
