A Time With You

27

~(Y/N)~

I kept a cold glare on him as he sat back down. He's just being a tease trying to make me want him more. I didn't want him to chase me, if anything I wanted to tell him where I truly came from, tell him I wasn't staying here and that if we were to pursue any kind of relationship it would only end in tears and pain. But I also wanted to know what made him love me, from all the stories I heard they almost seemed true... him being cold-hearted to a point that seemed impossible. He had lost so much he had become numb to the pain.

But then here he was trying to pursue me, so desperately wanting my affection, like a puppy. Telling me he intended to keep trying even against my wishes. "Why do you love me?" I ask. Sitting up straight I folded my hands in my lap keeping my eyes locked with his.

His stoic expression didn't alter as I asked. No blush appeared, and no unsettling expression contorted his face. He shrugged his shoulders while sticking out his bottom lip slightly, "Is it because of my looks? What?" I persist.

Levi shook his head and leaned forward. "I don't base my feelings off of looks," he answers. I turn my head forward letting out a sigh.

"You hungry?" he then asks.

Quickly I nod my head watching as he stands from the chair once again. I seriously can't wait to leave this place.

~Couple Days Later~

After continuously reminding Levi that I was fine, he finally let me start walking around. He told me to meet him in Erwin's room this morning to talk. Heading down to the room I end up running into Eren and his group of friends. "(Y/N)!" Eren calls as he runs over to me.

He took me into his arms tightly as if he hadn't seen me in years. "We heard what happened." he sighs before pushing me back but keeping a firm grip on my shoulders. I smiled shyly up at him.

"Yeah, but I'm fine now," I tell him.

He smiled and pulled me back into his arms one last time. But the second time it was cut short when we heard someone clearing their throat. Eren released me and moved to the side, there I found Levi glaring at us, his arms too were crossed. Levi then stormed his way over to me, then snatched my wrist, and yanked me forward. "Ow Levi!" I yelp.

He ignored my yelps in pain and continued tugging me along until we reached Erwin's room. Stopping just at the door he turned to me while I yanked my hand out from his grip. "God damn, you don't need to be so fuckin' rough. I just ran into them-

"We've been waiting for twenty minutes you dumb-ass, now get in there," he growls, he looks more tired than usual which was the main reason for his cranky attitude. Flashing a harsh glare at him I turn and open the door. Since he was putting me in a bad mood I tried to shut the door on him, but he caught it beforehand.

"What's wrong with you two?" Pixis asks. I cross my arms and stand at the foot of Erwin's bed.

"Don't worry about them Pixis, they're always like this." Erwin's sighs, Erwin then glared up at us in disappointment while Pixis snickered softly while looking down. Then there was a knock at the door.

Levi turned to Erwin. "It's Hanji- Come in!" Levi calls. Stepping over to one side of Erwin's bed I watch as Hanji enters, and following behind was Connie. This is about Ragako isn't it?

"This young man here has come to report on behalf of the Survey Corps regarding the current situation," Hanji announces as she and Connie salute Pixis.

"I'm Connie Springer of the 104th Survey Corps." Connie introduces.

"Connie along with me and a few others went to his home village Ragako... about the origins of the titan outbreaks... Well... we've had a reliable amount of information to confirm my hypothesis." Hanji says growing a little more nervous. The houses there were all destroyed... it seemed from some kind of explosion from inside... another thing is, there was no bloodstain." Hanji explains.
