Cadet Ackerman (SnK ff.) [ON HOLD]

14. So this is what if feels like

14. So this is what if feels like

Levine woke up in his room feeling dizzy. Right, he only slept for at least four hours. His insomnia got worst by the month and it's a real troublesome. He'll need energy for the day and his eyes only rest for four hours. Maybe next time, it won't get chce to close for a minute anymore.

"Hey, wake up sleepy head. Hazel's gonna scold you again if you come in late again," Yami reminded Levine which made his day worse. Great, first thing he ever heard is Yami's annoying reminders.

"Tch, shut up," he got up and got ready for breakfast. Taking a shower and fixing himself up. He started wearing his favorite hoodie since a week ago since he felt more comfortable with it. Button-up isn't really his style, hoodie is.

After fixing himself up, he walked down the corridor to mess hall and getting to meet up with Eren, Mikasa and Armin on the way.

"Morning, Levine!" Armin greeted with a smile and then stared at Levine with a peculiar look. Levine just replied with an eyebrow raised as if asking, what? Am I a ghost?

"Nice hair," Eren stated, pointing at Levine's hair with a huge grin on his face, which says idiot. Levine on the other hand, ran his hand over his hair before his eyes widened in surprise. He forgot to fix his hair. No wonder they look surprise.

Levine's bangs are flat on his forehead, covering it as some hair sticks out. Talk about a bad hair day.

"You look like a coconut husk," Mikasa said, bluntly making Levine glare. Actually, whenever Mikasa tell him something so bluntly he just can't get mad. But whenever the others say something like that, he would roundhouse kick them right on the face. Mikasa just have this some kind of protective aura around her that Levine considered as anti-roundhouse kick aura.

"Tch, this day did not started well," he muttered and tried brushing his hair with his fingers, untangling each strands carefully and placing them in the right place. Also separating his bangs to their usual fraction.

"Don't worry. Doesn't training always cheers you up?" Asked Mikasa and he clicked his tongue in response. They learned to understand that as 'yes' whenever he does not want to answer a question directly.

"Let's just eat and get along with it."

In the mess hall, Levine noticed Hazel is not with Levi or Hange today or with any other people. She's not here in short, but he did not said a word about it. Instead, he turned his attention to the intent conversation the superiors are discussing that even Hange wears a serious face.

"They seem to be having a pretty serious discussion over there," he said and Armin turned to the Superiors' table.

"I wonder why?" as Armin said that, Levi stood up with his plate and cup empty. He left their table and started walking out of the mess hall, but not before passing by his squad's table. He put a hand on Levine's shouldered and whispered something into his ear.

"Let me answer your question and you'll have to answer a dozen from me," he said and left Levine wide eyed. He snapped his head to Levi's retreating form as Yami crossed his arms behind Levine.

"Should I get dress or something? This is a big day for you and Levi afterall," he said to Levine, but he did not say a thing and composed himself. He turned to Erwin as the blonde gave him a small smile.

'Monster...'

Levine arrived in front of Levi's office where he know the Corporal is. Behind him is Yami mirroring Levine's blank expression, although deep inside, Levine is pretty anxious.
