{AU} Levi Ackerman X Abused!Reader | Eccedentesiast |

Chapter Two | Speculate |

The rays of sunlight poured through the blinds of the window behind the bed Levi laid in, illuminating the once dark room. Hearing the noise in the kitchen, the smell of fresh coffee, and breakfast being made, he rises out of bed and begins walking to the door across from it. Once opening, the noise becomes slightly more audible. 

"Are you almost done?"

"Yeah I'm working on it." the female voice answered.

"(Y/n) and Trent are talking..." Levi justifies.

"Hurry up, I have to leave in a few minutes." 

"I'm trying."

"You're just standing there!"

"Well, the coffee has to brew!"

"Don't you dare think about raising your voice at me like that!"

"But you're being an ass! What do you expect?"

"I wouldn't be an asshole if you would stop fucking up!" 

A thud was heard and the floor vibrated. 

"I'm leaving, get your sorry ass up."

Next, the door slammed, reverberating across the house. 

Levi stood in shock but still wondered what had happened. Light shivers of anticipation trailed down his neck as he bolted out the door to check on her. 

"Why are you on the floor and what the hell was that?" He interrogates, stomping over to her. 

His stare pierced her eyes as she answered, "I slipped." 

"Why do I not believe you?" He asks, extending a hand to pull her off of the cold floor.

Once their hands connect, he yanks her up. 

"What were you two arguing about? Why is he being a dick? It's starting to piss me off." He scolds her. 

"It's nothing, he is just stressed."

"Are you hiding something?" 

"What would I be hiding from you?"

Levi thinks for a moment before finally asking;

"Is he hurting you?"

"What the hell? No! Why the hell would you even think that?" 

He feels himself becoming impatient. 

"What do you expect? From what I've noticed within the last twelve hours, he's bickering at you every five seconds!" 

"What all did you hear?"

"Enough." 

"Levi you will not do anything, I have it under control. It's fine. Things are just a bit rough right now, he doesn't mean it."

Levi doesn't answer.

"Levi, promise me." 

"I am not making any promises."

She pours him her coffee as they discuss what they are going to do for the day. The weather was pretty cordial, clouds with a bit of sunlight seeping through, embracing the earth. 

"What did you want to do today?" She asks, breaking the ice.

"Not sure, have anything planned?" 

"Hmmm, maybe we can go to the lake and feed the ducks." 

"What are you, five?" He snorts.
