Chapter 1

"Oi brat! Answer me!" Levi was angry now. He had been trying to get this girl's attention for a few days now. Each time, she'd ignore his calls.

Levi had first noticed her about a week before in the college hallway, but he never made any attempt to speak to her until about three days ago. He glanced behind him, seeing the girl's nose in a book as she sat alone in the library, but decided to walk over anyways.

"Hey. Whatcha reading?" he asked, casually leaning on the table with one arm. She looked towards him as she stood, simply smiled, and walked away to the multitude of books on the shelves.

The next attempt was when they both had a free period. He noticed her (h/c) hair out of his peripheral vision and smirked very slightly. Making his way over, he called out to her, still not even knowing her name. But alas, she moved on to another task, without even acknowledging him.

Today was different. The short man reached over and grabbed the girl's shoulder, spinning her around to face him.

You look down into his steel-colored eyes, a startled expression on your face.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! You're just going to ignore me every time I speak to you?!"

You point to your ear and shake your head with a slight look of concern on your kind face.

Levi felt his eye twitch as he yelled a little louder. "Don't play games, shitty brat!"

You bring up your hands, moving them fluidly into different motions that the ebony-haired man didn't recognize. Levi was taken aback by this. His eyes slightly widened as he let go of your shoulder, realizing the situation. The man raised a palm to his face at the look of confusion on your face. He quickly took a notebook from his backpack along with a pen. As he scribbled something on the blank page, you leaned over to see what he had written.

[So you really can't hear me? At all?]

You shake your head no.

How could he have been so stupid? She hadn't been ignoring him the past three days, she literally couldn't hear him. The shorter man scratched down another sentence on the paper, a slight look of discomfort on his face.

[I'm sorry for being rude...]

You giggle lightly and wave a hand casually to show you forgive him. You reach toward the pad of paper, and he handed it to you, along with the pen.

[I get that a lot... It's no big deal.] You write down and show him with a sweet smile.

Levi took the notebook back and wrote, [It is a big deal. I was a jerk. Would you mind if I took you out?]

He could see the light blush on your cheeks along with your look of astonishment. Quickly, he added,

[To make it up to you, of course.]

You nod a little hesitantly. As he wrote down a response, you studied his features. He was shorter than you are, but just barely. His smooth, black hair and steel-colored eyes definitely made up for it though. And by looking at his arms, you could see he was well toned.

The man looks up at you, startling you from your thoughts which causes him to give you an ever-so-slightly confused look. It quickly faded as he handed the notebook to you with his emotionless expression. He had written down a time to meet as well as a place.

[Is this good for you? I can pick you up if you need.]

A friendly smile spread across your lips as you nod, accepting the offer. You write down your address and a thanks before holding the paper out to him cheerfully.

[Alright, I'll see you then.]

[Oh, my name is Levi...just by the way.]

[(f/n). Its nice to meet you.]

He simply nodded after receiving your response as he pushed the notebook back into his backpack. The man turned to take his leave after closing the bag and slinging it over his right shoulder.

'(f/n)...'
