"It's complicated" Levi x Badass reader

(Chapter 26) A glamourous evening

"Yes, it wouldn't hurt to start getting ready." I said, glancing at Mikasa with a 'I know' look. 

She glanced back at me with a 'I'll kill you if you tell anyone look.'

We stood up and left the hall, the boys went their separate ways to their dorms as we went to ours. Me, Mikasa and Ymir went to our room and began getting ready for the ball, having a shower and getting into our dresses. I put on earrings as Mikasa did my makeup and Ymir did my hair. 

We were almost done getting ready before we all turned our heads to a stern knock at the door. I hesitantly walked over to the door and only opened it a tiny bit, so the person wouldn't see me yet.

It was Levi. He wasn't in his outfit for the ball yet, probably from being busy helping Erwin.

"Oh. .  Le- . . uh I mean Captain Levi, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to sound professional since Ymir and Mikasa were only a few feet away.

"Cadet."

He noticed what I was getting at and put on a more stern face and straightened his posture. He reached his hand into his jacket pocket and silently handed me a small, leather box.

"Open it away from them." He said in a raspy, whispered voice.

He turned around and started walking back down the corridor. I glanced down at the small box and hid it in my pocket as I went back into the room and closed the door.

"So what did captain asshole want?" Ymir asked, painting her nails.

"Nothing, just making sure we'd be ready." I said, walking over to my bed and sipping the small box under my pillow.

We all got ourselves ready, finishing the small details like doing Ymir's hair  Mikasa's makeup. We sat in the room for a bit before Ymir and Mikasa stood up and went to the door.

"We're going to the carriage's, you coming?" Mikasa asked.

"I'll catch up in a minute." I said as the two of them waved and left the room to meet up with the others.

As I waited for their footsteps to fade down the hallways, I got up and took the small box from under my pillow and placed it on my lap. It had a small note on it which I flipped over, It read:

Y/n,

I thought you could wear this to the ball, 

p.s blame Hanji

-Levi

I chuckled and put the note aside, opening the small leather box. Inside was the gorgeous necklace I had seen in town a few days ago with Hanji. But how did he get it? Did he really pay that much money just for me? Last time I was in town it was a ridiculous price that I could only dream of affording. Part of me wanted to return it and give him his  money back and insist that he shouldn't have, but as it glistened in front of me, I couldn't resist.

It carefully took it out of the box and held it up in the light, it reflected around the room, glowing in the small amount of sunlight from the window. I turned it around and gently placed it on my shoulders as I looked in the mirror. I did the latch at the back as the stunning necklace hung on my neck. It was breath taking.

I smiled and admired it for a short moment before removing the hair out of my face and leaving the room. 

I walked down the hallways and greeted everyone at the carriages.

"Oh my god Y/n, y- you l- look . . . wow." Armin said with his jaw on the floor.

"Oh my god- that necklace! It's beautiful!" Sasha said, quickly stuffing her face before the ball.
