Falling (Levi x Reader)

Chapter 5: Parting Words.

It's been about 3 days since that little argument between yourself and Captain Levi. He had been avoiding you and vise versa, you didn't want to start another stupid fight. You were embarrassed really. You wanted to apologise about your behaviour but never got the time or the guts. Every time you went to speak to Captain Levi, he would either begin another conversation with someone else or completely ignore you and walk away.

It was midday, yourself and a few other of your fellow Cadet's were enjoying your free time training. There was normally nothing else to do during free time apart from; Train, sleep or chat to other Cadets and Superiors in the Mess Hall. You would've normally sit with Erika and giggled at the stupidest things. That's what best friends were for right? Anyways, you were both training, sparring to be precise. 

"That's all you got, (F/N)?" Erika was smirking at your 'excuse' of a punch.

You were still slightly distracted by the recent events that took place between yourself, Corey and Captain Levi. He pissed you off. Oh did he know how to push your buttons. To spit in your face after robbing you of your first kiss then to punish you after finally making out with an old crush of yours.

The nerve. 

Returning from your invading thoughts, you continued to block the aggressive punches being launched from Erika. Finally seeing a moment of weakness from Erika, you took the opportunity to perform a leg swipe, causing her small frail body to make contact with the dirt ridden floor. 

While smirking down at Erika, you couldn't help but turn your head towards some grunting and shuffling sounds being made a few feet away, glancing towards the two male Cadets fighting, you see Corey, blocking and punching his opponent gracefully and with ease. He was so swift and gentle yet rough and aggressive in his style of combat. 

Smack!

Suddenly taken back by the pain shooting through your side and your left arm, Erika took the chance to take revenge on you by giving you your own leg swipe. Lifting your head up you notice some other Cadets look towards you, taking note of the sudden bang and gathered around you. Gasps were heard from all around you.

Moving your head towards what was shocking the other Cadets was Captain Levi, his hand actually. He hand it pointed towards your face, palm in the air, fingers extended. 

"Up." His stoic voice echoed through the training grounds. 

Accepting his help, you both pulled yourself up. Brushing off the invisible dirt on your trousers, you stared into his ash coal pupils. Using his head to cock to the side ever so slightly, he gestured you to follow him. Nodding, you followed before being grabbed by the wrist. The sudden action caused you to jerk on the spot and turn around. Corey was holding your wrist tightly as if asking if you were ready or even prepared for what was going to happen. 

"I'll see you later." Smiling sweetly and nodding you turned your head away and shook his grasp off your wrist. Noticing how Captain Levi stood waiting, and watching, he continued towards the mess hall. 

Finally arriving, it was empty. He sat down, with an already prepared cup of black tea held in his hands. Of course. You took a seat about 2 feet away from him. You were still cautious of him. 

Minutes passed, he just sipped his fucking tea. 

For god sake Levi, why did you drag me out here? Too fucking toy with me? 

You mentally cursed at him. Moving your gaze to fixate onto his eyes, you both stare at each other for a while, before he breaks the silence.

"So, Corey?" His voice was bored. As if he wanted to know but didn't want to seem interested.
