[Artist]ReaderxLevi - Sickening Love - Ch. 3

After that whole embarrassing chase scene with the Lance Corporal three months ago, almost everyone at the base knew you.

Soon after that, you gained your own reputation – the surprising thing is that it was about the same reputation as Levi had.

You appeared terrifying, except for the fact that you will throw a smile every once in a while. However, you fail to notice that this smile makes people a little happier knowing you weren't as cold-hearted as the short corporal.

By this time, Hanji visits you almost every day and even works in your office while you do your own “artsy” thing, as she calls it.

“[F/N], your actions fascinate me so!” Hanji cooed your way as you wiped the charcoal on your hands onto your black ‘work’ tank-top. This piece was a continuation from back home that you never really got around to finishing.

As your eyes scan the posed nude figure on the large canvas you had set up, you turn your head to Hanji with a distant expression, “I interest you?”

“Of course, noobie! I’m a science-lady, I love observing!” To you, she pretty much expressed how much she loved being your stalker. You sighed and turned towards your artwork, adding more black smudge to your face as you ponder in thought about what else to do to the piece.

“If Levi saw you right now, I’d bet you he’d spray you down with a fire hose.”

“I’d like to see him try.”

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Both you and Hanji turn to the sound of a creaking door, only to be met with a pair of freezing cold eyes. Of course, it was a lot more dramatic since he made eye-contact with your face – it was almost too funny to see his face scrunch like a piece of paper being crumbled into a wad.

“What is the meaning of this?! Disgusting!”

“What?”

“That black shit! All over your face! You look like you live in a chimney! It’s filthy and I won’t tolerate it!”

The screaming battle ensued.

“Excuse me? I don’t believe you own me – you can’t tell me what to do! Erwin said so!” You stamped your foot, puffing out your cheeks acting like an angry child.

“I don’t care! I trained you better than this!”

“Don’t talk to me like I’m a dog!”

“You sure look like you roll around in filth like one!”

“Urgh! You’re impossible!”

“And you’re impossibly dirty! Come here, maggot!”

“No!”

Hanji watched as the two of you circled each other, almost growling at each other like a pack of animals.

“You guys are so cute when you flirt-“

“This is your idea of flirting, Hanji?!” You screamed as you began to jog away from Levi’s grip as he followed you in an angry strut.

“Get her, Levi!”

“Shut up, Hanji!” Both you and Levi yell as you continue to pick up your pace. That’s when Levi bumps into your artwork and knocks it on the floor.

“No! Damn it, damn it, damn it!” You drop to your knees in front of your now ruined piece. Your rage grew to dangerous levels to the point that even Levi stopped his movement to observe you.

You turn viciously and point a finger in his direction, “you ruined two years of work!”

“Oh? Well I’m not apologizing.”

“You sicken me.”

“Says the one with black shit on their face.”

“That’s it!” Hanji scrambles out of the room and slams the door behind her as you and Levi tumble onto the floor, struggling.

“You’re a real piece of shit!”

“I can handle you-“you cut Levi off with a slap. Tears start pouring out of your eyes as the searing red hand print on Levi’s cheek turn a bright shade of red.

“It’s really hard to work with charcoal! This is my job here and if you keep screwing me up, you’ll pay dearly for it!” You’ve never been this mean to anyone but Levi has reached a point with you to where pure hurtful honesty is the only way to make a point anymore.

Levi kept his face turned, his expression very still for someone who just got hit. For you, you clicked your tongue in disgust and stood up from your straddling position. You remained standing over Levi, staring down at him as he remained absolutely still. You really weren’t sure what he was doing but it wasn’t going to be good in the end. But who cares?

“I’m sorry for hitting you but you really need to watch where you’re going,” you passed a cold stare down towards him as he slowly turned his head to look up at you from the floor.

“You should learn to keep your shit out in the middle of the room, then, you giant-ass brat!” Levi’s hands shot up to your knees and sunk his nails into the back crevice of your knees. It wasn’t a second before you collapsed on your knees in a violent gasp, catching yourself only by a mark as you slammed your hands on the floor next to Levi’s head.

Both of you were caught in a dark, violent glaring contest in one of the most provocative positions you’ve ever been on top of another person – especially for this guy that you particular hover negative feelings for.

“…you should remove yourself from my walkers before I hit you again,” you breathed darkly, holding the same cold expression as Levi.

“Do it, maggot.”

You slammed your fist into the floor, denting the wooden board beneath you with a grudged expression.

“I don’t like you.”

“The feelings are mutual.”

“Then stop coming into my office!”

Levi held his breath before clicking his tongue and glaring. “I have to check on you. Erwin’s orders.”

You sat back up on him, staring at the wall in front of you. Seriously?

“…Mr. Smith makes it part of your job to come watch me?” You mumbled questionably.

“Unfortunately.”

You slowly grinned. Uh oh.

“What are you smiling about, you disgusting creature?”

“I’ll make you suffer.” You unknowingly spat out as you stood up and walked towards your desk, picking up your piece.

“What did you just say to me?”

“Nothing – get out, now.” You kept your back turned as Levi pulled himself up, composing his figure and dusting himself off.

“You better not do anything you’ll regret, maggot.”

“Too late.”

Levi seared his eyes into the back of your head before walking out of the office, clicking his tongue once again.

You viciously smiled, gripping the canvas and tossing it to the side.

“I’ll make it so uncomfortable; you’ll never want to step in here again.” You spoke to yourself as you slipped out a small chuckle. It was time for revenge.
