[Artist]ReaderxLevi - Sickening Love - Ch. 2

“Ignore the shorty, he’s a bit of a piss-maker, if you know what I mean,” Hanji nudged you as you stepped out of the car. Levi opened the trunk and retrieved your bags, tossing them your way as you were about to reply to Hanji.

“Don’t listen to shit stain over there – she’s a damn nut case herself.”

You glanced over at Hanji as she shrugged, have a goofy grin spread across her face like butter on bread.

“…I’m afraid of talking to either one of you,” you sighed as you grabbed your bags. All of the art supplies you’ve ever owned are in those bags and yet he tosses them like they’re nothing.

Stumbling along with your new colleagues, you approach a gate locked up with security. Almost immediately, Hanji grabs your arm, “We’re here!”

You stop in your tracks and look up at the many buildings that take up a similar pattern in formation. Recruits jogged across the yards while others were sparring with one another with happy expressions.

That is, of course, until he walked through the gate.

Levi’s presence made what seemed to be a lively place turn dead in one second. That’s when you saw the dramatic turn of happiness to utter violence in the faces of many recruits.

“That’s rough…” you mumbled, walking forward with Hanji as she swayed about with her new friend.

“You’ll be staying here, [F/N],” Erwin Smith smiled as you stepped into your new office. It had plenty of room – more than you ever hoped for. You placed your bags on the floor and ran around the room like a kid with a new toy. “Mr. Smith, this is wonderful! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you-“as you turned, Erwin had disappeared. You stopped dead in your tracks to the eyes of Levi glaring at you.

“O-Oh.”

“What?”

It was him again - your newly developed worst fear. You didn’t necessarily hate him but he gave you one of the worst first impressions you’ve ever experienced.
However, you felt that it wasn’t too bad to the point where you couldn’t stand him like your old landlord. You’ll just have to deal with it.

“Nothing.”

“No stuttering this time, maggot?” Levi stepped into your office, glancing around. You backed yourself into a couch against the wall, watching his every move. You were a bit paranoid about him, especially after that comment he made in the car.

You aren’t easily flattered and you couldn’t catch on to the motive of flirting, even if you tried.

“No. I’m actually too happy about this office to be worried at the moment,” you replied as you leaned back in your new couch admiring the new room.

“Well I guess I’ll have you stuttering in no time then,” Levi stated as he ran his finger across the surface of the desk. “You’re going to help me clean up this filthy pig’s waste you call a home.”

You opened your mouth slightly at him. What? …Really?

“What is your deal?” You spat out loud, originally hoping that it would have stayed within your mind.

Levi turned your direct, showing little to no shock to your reply. “Did I teach you nothing yesterday about respecting me?”

“You didn’t teach me anything but to be frightened!” You slammed your fist into the couch, slightly jumping at yourself for your sudden anger.

“Then I’ll teach you more than just to be afraid of me,” Levi’s eyes narrowed in irritation as he took steps in your direction. As the space between you and Levi closed, you self-consciousness kicked you in the stomach.

“No.”

Levi stopped right in front of you. “What?”

“I said no. I don’t want to be taught ‘anything’. You’re scary and I don’t think it’s necessary,” you tried standing up for yourself, showing that you were annoyed by his rude behavior. Inside, you were cowering – but outside, closed your eyes and turned your head from him.

“I don’t think you understand the term of me being your commander,” Levi grumbled, crossing his arms.

“Just because you’re my commander doesn’t mean you have to treat me like dirt!” You suddenly stood up, inches away from him. You began to tremble a little but you refused to back down.

“Listen to me, Levi, and listen well. I’ve only been here for one day – “you shoved a finger into his chest, bumping him back a little and started to walk towards him with almost a murderous expression – “and if I have to deal with the same shit as I did back at my old place, I swear to God – “

“You’ll what, cadet?” Levi stopped you in your tracks, angrily taking steps towards you, “you’ll hit me? You think you got the balls to walk across the path I do? Do you think you can stand up to me?”

You began to back off, pushing your back up into the wall but you had a grimaced expression.

“Do something, then, ‘commander’” you viciously growled at him as he slammed his hands into the wall behind you, trapping you. This isn’t the way you wanted your first day to go but he wasn’t giving you much of a choice.

Levi made a click noise with his tongue as he examined you closely. “What I want to do and what you want me to do are two separate things, maggot.”

It took a minute to sink in but you finally replied with a dragged out confused expression of “Huh?”

“…Cadet, are you stupid?” Levi removed his hands, turning his back and walking back towards the desk as if nothing happened.

“…no, but it sounded like you are trying to flirt with me and I don’t appreciate the confusing emotions,” you flat out said. You were brutally honest when you needed to be and this situation just calls for a lot of it.

“If that’s what you’re thinking, maggot, then you are the one that is a pervert,” Levi replied, moving behind the desk and taking a seat.

“…I may be somewhat of a pervert but I’m not dumb enough to not notice flirting when I hear it,” you grumbled.

Levi rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue again, piercing you with his cold steel daggers. “You are still helping me clean up your disgusting room.”

You sighed. “Whatever. Where are the supplies, then, smarty?”

“Are you back-sassing me?”

“Of course, Captain Obvious.”

“I will beat you into oblivion if you keep this up – “ you cut off Levi - “Do it then!”
Silence dropped in the room as Levi stood up from the chair, making it fall back. You are in a LOT of trouble now.

Just as Levi leapt over the desk, you dashed out of the room making a run for it. You didn’t care at this point where you went but you need to get outta here quick!
Before you even got past the third door in the corridor, Levi had knocked you over and tumbled over with you across the floor.

Noticing the ruckus, cadets began to wonder around the hallways, listening to the noises.
“Is someone doing it?” “What the hell is that?” “Christ, it sounds like cats are fighting!”
Pinned to the floor, you latched your feet into Levi’s torso in attempts to get away. With a big push from your toned legs, you manage to kick Levi off.

You were panting by the time you rolled onto your knees and kicked off the floor in order to make a break for it. For about fifteen minutes, you and Levi were in a chase around the militia base until you finally circled around and got back to your room. You slammed the door, throwing a chair into the handle and ran into your new room to get away. About three minutes later, you heard Levi slamming on the door, cursing loudly as more voices were heard outside the door.

You stumbled onto your new bed and fell face flat onto it. This was one of the worst case scenarios that you came up with back in your hometown – begin chased down like a dog. When you thought about it a bit more after the ruckus calmed, you felt that it was a little funny.

Of course, that’s when you see a leg manage to come through your window facing towards the front gates of the base. You screamed and threw your pillows until Levi fell through and landed on the floor.

“You brat, I swear I will make your life a living hell just like you made mine just now!” Levi yelled, slamming his fists into the floor to stand up.
You rolled off your bed and hid under the bed just as Levi stood up. Placing your hand over your mouth, you listened as Levi wondered around the room, acting as a predator would be when circling a prey.

That’s when you felt a pair of hands grab your ankles and pull you out from under the bed. Of course, as you slid across the floor screaming, your shirt pulls right up with you from being caught on the floor by a wooden plank.

By the time Levi pulled you out completely, you curled into a ball with only just a bikini top and pants on.

“What in the hell are you doing!” He stamped his foot on the ground in front of your face, making you cringe. After a minute of standing over you, Levi sighs and pinches the bridge of his noise.

“You are a huge pain in my ass!” Levi yelled down at you as he walked towards your dresser, still pinching his nose.

As you reach under your bed in search for your shirt, Levi circles back around and steps on your arms. You clinch at the pain and gasp, trying not to cry as he stares down at you.
“You. I don’t know what the hell I’m going to do with you for the rest of my days but rest assured that you will NOT be enjoying your time here, regardless of what Erwin says.”
Levi leaned down and picked you up by your pained arms, using his hands as to act like handcuffs to your limbs.

“You are a maggot and I will treat you as such, do you understand me?!” He lifted your body up higher as you nodded and cringed at the pressure of gravity was on you with your arms being locked together.

“And if you ever do this again, it’ll be the last of it,” Levi darkly growled as pulled your face closer with his free hand, making sure you understand the message. You nodded quickly, tearing up. He grumbled to himself, watching you squirm in pain.

After a minute, you manage to slowly open your eyes to stare back at his face.

“...can you let go of me now, please? It really hurts.”

“No.”

“Please?”

Levi tossed your body on the bed nearby and shook his head.

“Fine.”

You glanced up from Levi in the position you landed in, watching a little bit of shade cover his cheeks as he rubbed his eyes in irritation.

What in the world is going on?
