(Levi x Petra) Shock

Chapter Seventeen: I Have 99 Problems, and Hange and Auruo Are Every One Of Them

A/N: Hello, my lovelies. I am sorry about the delay. I have been extremely busy what with school and all. I am going to try and update every Saturday, but I get distracted with life easily, so be sure to give me a shout out to update whenever Saturday rolls around. 

And I know... my chapter titles suck, but at this rate, I just say whatever has been in my head...... whatever, enjoy the chapter!!! Oh, and to make up for all the pain you had to go through in the last chapter, I have added an extra lovely Rivetra moment for you.

As the weeks rolled on, Levi's unhappiness grew. He watched Auruo and Petra and their gross, lovey-dovey, couple attitude for about three weeks now, and he was getting sick and tired of it all. He would sometimes attempt to talk to Petra by herself, but at one point, it became hopeless, considering Auruo practically put a tracking chip on her and showed up at the worst moments. 

Not to mention, there was S**tty Glasses to chirp at his ear whenever she felt like it. If it wasn't Auruo showing up whenever Levi and Petra were having a conversation (which was extremely rare), it was Hange, always calling for Levi in the form of either Armin or herself. The worst part was... Levi couldn't even do anything about either of the two. Should he shout at Auruo or whatever, he would lose Petra's respect. And shout he shout at Hange, he would lose his place in the Survey Corps and his dignity. 

However, one day, he was just sitting there drinking tea when the first good thing happened to him in almost three weeks. He had been in the meeting room, which also sub-served as a recreation room for the weary Survey Corps soldiers. Levi's eyes were closed, his hair a tad bedraggled (but no one noticed), and the herbal tea ran down his throat as he took small sips in order to keep his nerves calm. But that was when the extra cheery Auruo came in with Eren, Gunther and Eld, bragging about his date.

Now I know what you're thinking. How on Earth is that good news? Auruo stole Petra away from Levi!! Well, Levi didn't exactly think it that way. He just said that Auruo... got to her before he did. Why? Because he was that kind of guy. 

"And then we went to the wrestling match that was happening in the Fox's Den (a local bar I made up) at the end, and I could just tell she was having a blast," Auruo bragged, but the next sentence really got to Levi's nerves, because then, Auruo tried to imitate him, "But then, I don't need to anything, and I can impress anyone."

"I'm right here, Auruo," Levi said in his usual demeanor. 

Finally, Auruo shut up. 

Where's the good news? It's coming in five, four, three, two.....

Petra then walked into the room at that moment, rubbing her head softly, as if someone gave her a whack on the skull. 

"Oh, hey hon," Auruo said in his Levi-imitating voice. 

God damn it!!

Petra then turned to Auruo and smiled, but with a slight.... how should I say this... pained expression mixed into it. Though Auruo seemed to blind to notice it, everyone else with common sense could obviously see it.

"Hi, Auruo," Petra replied, still rubbing her head. 

"I was just telling everyone about our amazing date," Auruo said, smiling with satisfaction, even though Petra looked she took a hammer to the head.

"That's... nice," Petra replied, grimacing while she was at it.

"Well, I got to go. Duty for someone like me always calls," Auruo said.

Since when did you become captain of the Survey Corps?

Auruo then strutted out of the room with a sickeningly superior manner, but before he left, he turned and told Petra, "Glad you liked the date," which lead Petra to smile her half-nice, half-dying-inside smile.
