Attack on Titan

One Shot

You're Such a Brat

Rating: Uh….

Pairing: Levi x Oc, Levi x Briar

Author's note: After reading, nonstop, AoT fiction on DA for an hour or two…or three by a very talented Katsuhana. Needless to say, I got inspired. So forgive me if Levi is a bit out of character, I haven't perfected how to write his character. I do not own Attack on Titan.

They hated fishing; Levi and Briar don't even remember how they were put into this situation. It may have been Hanji's doing, but they were so sleep deprived they couldn't recall. They spent half of the night going over documents about new, promotions that had nothing to do with them, procedures and equipment upgrades. Three pots of coffee later, Levi and Briar were the definition of exhaustion. Levi was seeing her out of his office/room when Hanji barged in.Rambling about needing fish for an experiment, but she couldn't go because her squad needed her for something else.

Now here they were, cramped on a boat, cold and tired. Briar yawned constantly, wiping away the tears before they rolled down her cheeks. Levi, however, looked un-phased wearing his usual stoic expression of bored, tired eyes and a frown. But from where Briar was sitting, she could tell that he was furious at Hanji. All the way down he kept calling the insane woman "shitty glasses" and going "tch".

Briar was used to the uneasy atmosphere Levi's attitude would produce. However, his want to kill Hanji was practically palpable. And she needed to change that. Briar knew that she might end up cleaning something until she passed out, but she was cold and she liked invading Levi's personal space. His Lieutenant scooted closer to him, carefully as to not tip the boat. She stopped when their shoulders touched, startling Levi awake.

"Hm," He grunted before glancing at her, "What'd you think you're doing, Rose?"

"Keeping warm, what does it look like?" She answered defensively while shivering, "So how are we going to kill Hanji?"

"Tch, I haven't decided yet." He grumbled, his expression never changing.

"What if we fed her to one of her titan experiments?" Briar looked up at him, her blue eyes shining with mischief.

Levi thought for a moment, "No. Shitty Glasses might enjoy that."

Briar dropped her head onto his shoulder in defeat—sighing heavily and pouted at the lake where no fish were biting. Levi glared down at the girl and drank in her lazy appearance. Her sunshine blonde hair was usually put up in a ponytail or a messy bun, but now it was trailing over everything. He had forgotten how long it was, the bright locks reached to the middle of her back. After being forced into this torturous activity she left it down, saying that it would keep her ears warm. Briar's eyes were the first thing he noticed about her when they first met, when she was a cadet. They were as blue as the sky—they somehow changed colors to match the mood she was in. Which helped him greatly, Levi knew when to avoid her if they were dark. He knew when she was anxious or sad because they were the lightest blue he's ever seen, filled with worry.

She did change out of her uniform and into a plain button up grey shirt, black pants and matching boots that went up to her knees. He had to admit, she looked better like this, than in one of her little sister's handmade dresses. They reminded him that she was a woman, but she looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Granted a wolf with a 78 titan kill and could drop kick you into the next wall.

"Okay I am official done with this. The fish aren't biting and I'm about to fall asleep. Let's head in, Captain. I have the urge to bust Hanji's face through a wall." Briar huffed while reeling in her line.

Levi agreed following her lead and turned to grab the oars. He watched as Briar tried to keep her hands warm. She brought them to her lips and blew hot air into them. "Hey brat, it's better if you put your hands in between your legs." He state while rotating the oars once more.

"Is that a fact?" Briar looked over at him, her eyes full of danger.

"Tch," As soon as they reached land they were both taking the rest of the day off, before someone got seriously hurt.

Suddenly, a gust of wind began turning the waves violently. Looking towards the sky, dark rain clouds stormed over them and then rain began to pour down in sheets. "Now I'm pissed." Levi growled low in his throat. The squad leader struggled holding onto the oars as the wind rocked the boat.

"Shit." He seethed as the boat began to capsize. Levi released the objects and attempted to reach Briar, who was holding onto the boat's edge, but it was too late. They were tossed into the water.

Levi breached the surface with a gasp and began his search for his Lieutenant. "Briar," He yelled over the waves, "Briar you damn brat, where are you?"

In the distance he heard coughing and what sounded like his name. Turning around he saw Briar holding on to the boat. Levi sighed in relief and swam towards her. He placed a hand on the small of her back and held onto the dingy boat with the other.

"You okay?" She asked trying her best to keep her hair out of her face.

"I'll be fine. Get under the boat!" Levi ordered and she did what she was told without hesitation. When she arrived safely, she knocked and then Levi joined her. It was still a little rocky underneath the boat, but at least they could hear each other. "It's just a short swim back to land. Can you make it, Briar?" Levi asked shocking Briar. He didn't call her Rose or brat—it freaked her out a little.

He splashed water in her face, "Briar!"

"Y-yea I'll be fine. Let's get this over this." Briar followed Levi's lead as he directed the boat. They would stop every now and then to make sure they were heading in the right direction.

"Just a little further."

Briar nodded, not wanting to give away how truly exhausted she was or how much her head hurt. Levi watched her out of the corner of his steel eyes, the dead look that reflected in her hues made him stop.

Levi abruptly stopped and grasped Briar's shoulder, "Hold up."

"What's wrong?" He couldn't have been tired; Levi could probably do this all day.

"You need a break."

"No I don't. I can keep going." Briar lied; she would drown first before telling her squad leader that she needed to stop. The headache was getting worse; it was getting difficult to see straight, let alone keep herself afloat.

"Stop being a stubborn cow and listen to me." Levi ordered bobbing closer to her. "Neither of us is in good shape, if we push ourselves, we'll both drown." He pushed her hair out of her wide eyes. God her skin was as soft as he imagined, it took everything Levi had to not kiss her cheeks right then and there.

They continued in ten minutes, pacing themselves as the water seemed to calm down. They both thought, "Of course."

When they reached the bank they abandoned the boat—deciding that fetching it would be Hanji's punishment. They collapsed onto the mud, trying to catch their breath. Levi looked over to Briar, whose eyes were closed, but she was still breathing.

"Hey," He shoved her awake, her eyes popping open. "No sleeping yet idiot. We have to kill Hanji first."

Briar couldn't tell if he was joking or being sarcastic. She didn't care, she was too tired to even speak, let alone strangle Hanji. She felt Levi's hand on her forehead, opening one eye to greet him before joining the other. Levi was towering over her, glaring down at her with his usual bored eyes that looked a little worried.

"I'm fine, Levi." She muttered.

"How did you get a concussion?" Levi was genuinely concerned.

Briar thought for a moment, touching the sore spot and winced, "It must've happened when the boat fell on me when we first got tossed."

"Tch you're an idiot, Briar."

Levi did it again. He called her by her first name—granted he also called her an idiot, but still. Before Briar could ask why he suddenly decided to call her by her first name, Levi's lips were on hers. At first she moaned in protest, but when the touch of his soft lips against hers and the faint taste of tea won—Briar gave in.

Levi broke the kiss off, letting Briar sit up. She bit her lower lip and blush bloomed over the apples of her cheeks. Levi's eyes widened, "Was that your first kiss?"

"No! Shut up!" Briar shouted and then realized she told her superior to shut up, "I'm so sorry."

"Tch, you're such a brat." He grabbed the back of her head and brought their lips together for a forceful and passionate kiss. He slipped his tongue into her delicate mouth, making her flinch.

He pulled away and took in Briar's freaked out expression and smirked. "Come to my room after dinner. We're going to work on that. Consider it punishment for telling me to shut up."

The next day

Everyone gathered around the lake to watch Hanji retrieve the discarded boat. Levi and Erwin stood in front, while Briar, Eren and Misaka watched from behind. Out of the three, only Eren and Misaka felt sorry for the psychotic squad leader.

"She's lucky Captain Levi chose her fate. If I had it my way, I would have fed her to her pet titans." Briar spoke her tone dripping with frustration.

"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" Eren asked glancing in Briar's direction. He noticed a bruise on her milk white neck, "What happened to your neck?"

Levi flinched slightly when he heard Briar slap a hand hard against the mark, "I-uh-it must've happened during the whole thing yesterday."

Eren and Misaka glared at one another mischievously. Before they could ask further questions, however, Levi stepped in. He grabbed her head and tilted it roughly to the side to get a better view.

"Tch, come to my office after this to fill out another accident report." Levi released her head and began to return to the Scout Regiment HQ. After Levi was out of ear shot Briar moaned in protest, just to make sure no one knew the real reason of how she got the hickie on her neck.
