Levi x OC | Humanity's Greatest

4 - Go Away

"Get your fucking hands up!" Levi yelled at me as he swung another punch and missed my face by less than an inch.

I was immensely out of breath. When Levi had told me we'd be training together I had no idea he'd be this strict. He was worse than Commander Erwin and Hanji combined.

"What does close combat have to do with fighting Titans anyway?" I panted.

"It's about self discipline!" Levi barked as he swung another punch and I dodged.

"Shouldn't we be practicing with 3DMG?"

Levi rolled his eyes as he dodged one of my swings. "Do you ever listen to a word I say?"

"I'm not your bitch, Levi"

The boy grunted. "Debatable"

I laughed at his cockiness. He sure was arrogant. "What did you just say?"

"Nothing, brat" this time Levi tried to kick me but thankfully I managed to dodge it, a part of me wondered if he was actually trying to hurt me, but I erased the thought from my mind.

"Can we do something else now?" I breathed heavily, struggling to get my words out.

"You gonna say that when a Titan's trying to eat your flesh?"

Levi's words cut me deeper than I thought they would, I was a bit taken aback by his negative attitude, especially considering the expedition that was drawing closer every second.

I stopped in my tracks and let my guard down for a split second. Levi wasn't expecting me to stop so suddenly and he punched me in the jaw so hard my world span and I fell to the ground with a thud.

"Shit-" Levi cursed as he crouched next to me.

Blood filled my mouth at an alarming rate, leaving a coppery taste and a sharp pain rattling through my brain. Levi touched the cut he had left on my face and I instinctively smacked his hand away.

"Piss off" I spat. I sat up and put my own hand on the wound that Levi had left on my face.

For once, the boy looked taken aback. "What?"

"Why'd you punch me?!"

"I wasn't expecting you to-"

"No, Levi. We're supposed to be a team! Do you really think I'm gonna get eaten on the expedition?" I felt hurt. My heart ached more than the cut on my cheek and I wondered if I was just a means to an end to Levi this whole time.

"No...I...I didn't mean it like that"

"Just go away Levi I can take care of myself" I grunted.

"Grace-"

"Just go!" I shouted this time and Levi got the message, looking annoyed as he trudged off in the opposite direction, my blood staining his knuckles.

*Later that night*

I lay in bed that evening, the side of my face still tingling from Levi's brutal punch. He was a lot stronger than he looked, I gave him that.

'I'm not going to get eaten' I thought to myself. 'I'm just as good as you are Levi Ackerman, and I'll prove it too...just you wait'
