Problems - Teacher!Levi x Reader (Modern au)

Chapter 8 - A Tease

"Eren?! What are you doing here?" She blurted out and squirmed her way out of Eren's arms. Behind Eren stood Jean who was fiddling with some jeans and Mikasa who stared right at her.

"I could ask the same thing. Jean dragged us here to see some teenage romantic comedy-"
"It's not 'some teenage romantic comedy', it's a touching and deep story about love and trus-" Jean interrupted Eren but didn't get far before Eren interrupted him back.
"Yeah ok whatever. But why are you here? Isn't this mall kind of far away from your house?" Eren stared curiously at (f/n).
"Yeeahhh, it is. I'm, uhh, shopping." (f/n) kept glancing behind her where Levi had went. She did NOT want Eren and the others see her alone with Levi. It would literally be the end of her world; the bad rumors, disapproving parents, side-eyeing classmates and everything else would be too much for her to handle.

"Are you alone?" Eren asked and looked at where (f/n)'s eyes kept wandering.

"No. Yes. I mean no. I'm with my dad." She got some puzzled looks from her friends as she stuttered to give as normal an answer as possible.

"Who shops with their dad?" Jean snickered but his chuckling came to a quick end when his eyes widened and suddenly he jumped towards (f/n). "Wait wait wait are you actually here with your dad? Or have you found a boyfriend that you haven't told us about?!" He yelled and grasped (f/n) by her shoulders. (f/n) on the other hand yelped from the sudden touch accompanied by the grave accusation that was not true but not entirely false either. After all, she was here with a man who she recently had started to develop some hard-to-understand feelings for...

"N-no way, what are you saying hah ha ha..." She pushed Jean away as she laughed nervously trying to dissolve his earlier comment from everyone's memory.

"Jean, don't tease (f/n)" Eren said as he slapped the still gawking boy on the head. "Do you want to join us to the movie though?"

"No, it's fine... We are having some um... father-daughter day activities that I don't want to miss." (f/n) chuckled lightly at the statement that felt embarrassing to say out loud when she knew the person she was spending the day with wasn't her father, but her teacher. "Some kind of daddy he is though..." She thought to herself and felt heat graze her cheeks.

"Oh okay then, have fun then!" Eren smiled at her and turned away while dragging Jean who still looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure it's not some other kind of daddy??" (F/n) heard Jean half-heartedly yell as he was being dragged away. Sometimes the boy who seemed to lack any critical thinking skills was awfully perceptive and thus got uncomfortably close to the truth. Well, luckily no one else took Jean's accusations seriously.

(f/n) exhaled as all the pent up anxiety from the surprise encounter left her body. "Well that was something... Why did I have to bump into them now out of all times?" She cried out inside her mind and turned back to the clothing rack she was eyeing before. But right as she stepped back around she bumped into something, or moreover into someone.

"Look where you're going, brat." She heard a silky smooth voice right in front of her which made her step back embarrassed.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking... By the way, can you stop calling me that? It feels insulting", (f/n) muttered while she rubbed her nose that had gotten crunched up against the lean chest of her teacher.

"Sure, if you wish so, brat." Levi said indifferently but she could hear the small hint of sarcasm in his voice. Suddenly he raised his hand under her chin and prodded it up keenly eyeing her features mere centimeters away from her face. "Did you get hurt?"
