Learn to Love Ackerman [Levi x Reader]

18 - Both

Your POV

"How bout you? Can you be my date to the party?"

Typical that he asked as I was drinking my tea, causing me to choke and spill some on my uniform. Levi stood up abruptly, I held out my hand to stop him as I coughed.

"I'm sorry *cough* please don't misunderstand my reaction *cough*"

"You said I didn't have to like-like the person. I would classify you as a 'good friend'."

Ouch. That kind of stung, but yeah I did say that.

I continued patting my chest as I struggled to catch my breath. I was able to nod as a response; although, internally I was quite flustered.

"I'm glad, I'd be happy to go with you. Now if you would excuse me, I think I'll head to my room now. Goodnight."

Without sparing another glance, I rushed to the door to leave. In a way, I felt a bit guilty that I didn't even wait to hear Levi's reply.

Levi's POV

Shit. Was that too soon?

I sat there in regret, worried that I might've scared (Y/N). In a way, I knew that beating around the bush would just waste a lot of time.

At least she said yes, willingly I think? I hope...

When it was time for bed I couldn't help but smile a little thinking about how much time I got to spend with her, and now she's my date to the party. It makes me feel young again.

Wait.

How old is (Y/N)?

Fuck... I'm really hoping she's over 18! I'm gonna go to jail for this.

The next morning...

I have to train the brats today unfortunately, which means I don't get to spend time with (Y/N). She's in our office right now doing paperwork.

They were doing one on one combat, so I just circled around and criticized them like normal. I had just scolded Sasha and Connie since they weren't doing any real techniques.

"So are you gonna ask (Y/N) today?"

(Y/N)?

Without looking too suspicious, I walked a little closer to the voices. It was Jaeger and Arlert. They were talking while sparring.

"I-I don't know. Should I?"

Arlert dodged a fist from Yaeger, but got taken out from under, falling on the ground.

"I think you should, maybe sometime during dinner. You are her favourite, I don't see why she would reject you."

Tch.

"Hey brat! You should pay more attention when fighting so you don't end up on your ass. 50 pushups."

"Yes sir!"

In a way, the thought made me uncomfortable that (Y/N) might change her mind.

I don't think she would. Would she?

Jaeger just said that Arlert was (Y/N)'s favourite, and I'm just her ass of a boss that suddenly became nice to her.

I'm just gonna have to make it so he doesn't get the chance.

...

When I was done training them, I was looking forward to getting to my office. Quickly, I took out my keys and entered to see (Y/N) frowning at me. It wasn't a serious frown I think.

"How come you get to come in like that while I have to knock? This is my office too!"

(A/N: To get into Levi's office awhile ago, he had to unlock it for you before he trained the cadets)

"Okay, I'll get a key for you."

She was still frowning at me which I didn't understand.

"What's wrong now?"

"I wanted to do the whole *clears throat* 'name and business?'"

I couldn't help but smile when (Y/N) lowered her voice to seem intimidating. She stopped and watched me, there was a slight glint in her eyes.

"You smiled."

(Y/N) said in adoration. I dismissed her comment, slightly embarrassed and sat down at my desk to start work. She did the same, dropping the topic.

After a while of work, I noticed (Y/N) packing up her work area.

"I'm heading for dinner-"

"No."

She looked at me with wide eyes, unsure of how to react. I softened my tone to make up for being so sudden.

"I have more work than usual today, so I was hoping we could stay here and eat dinner. Please?"

She can't reject my manners.

"O-okay..."

(Y/N) sat back down. I felt guilty knowing that she would rather go see the brats.

"I'll get us some food. I'll be back."

When I entered the hall, I headed straight to grab two trays of food. I looked to her usual table to see them looking at me. They seemed confused, glancing back at the mess hall door.

They were looking for (Y/N). Arlert looked especially disappointed.

Good.

I grabbed an extra treat for (Y/N) before heading back to our office. I kept a smirk to myself.

She's mine.
