When he first heard of the rumor, Levi just snorted, not only that he didn't believe it but also he didn't really care about it. He had been in the military for years now and he had been working under the taller man for so long that he knew that these kind of rumors about the blond man were beyond stupid. Whoever had started the rumor must be really stupid.
"Captain Erwin was kissing someone in his office..."
Levi rolled his eyes. Not that again. He was eating his supper in the cafeteria when he heard one of the kids started talking about the rumor. The raven haired scowling man sighed. Erwin should have heard about this, after all, something like this spread so fast like the mushroom in the rainy season; there was no way it hadn't reached his ears yet.
However, when the lance corporal was about to drink his tea, another word reached him and he was lucky he hadn't drank the tea yet at the point or else he might spit it out and that would be too dirty and disgusting for a clean freak like him.
"He was kissing Squad Leader Hange!"
Levi turned his head so fast that it almost broke his neck toward the kids at the other table. They seemed not to realize that they talked loud enough for the Lance Corporal to listen every word they said, neither did they realize that now a pair of cold steel blue eyes were looking at them. Now, the said Corporal narrowed his eyes, waiting for the kids to continue. The tall blond guy who sat next to the corporal looked at the shorter man before following his gaze. Though it wasn't written in his face, the news was actually surprising him too.
It was Connie, one of the ten best new recruits who joined the scouting legion this years, who had started the conversation. For a reason, he seemed really excited when he continued talking, "I never think that there's something—anything!—going on between Captain Erwin and Squad Leader Hange..."
"Because there was nothing between them," the green eyed boy sounded bored, chin rested on his hand, this was never the kind of topic he liked to talk about, "whoever had started the rumor must be stupid. Captain Erwin doesn't look like someone who would do something like that, and Squad Leader is just..." he shrugged, "I just couldn't imagine it."
Levi hated to agree but this time he was in Eren's side. He wouldn't say it out loud though.
"But I saw it," mumbled Sascha Browse, her mouth was full of food but somehow she managed to talk, "I was on my way to the kitchen..."
"To steal some bread?" Jean furrowed his brows. He slightly worried that this girl would not live long enough to join the next expedition, stealing food was something that would be punished seriously.
"Well, I planned to steal some meat but let's forget that," the brunette wave her hand as if to shut him off, ignoring the fact that the guy's lips turned into thin line but as long as he said nothing it was okay for her, "I was on my way to the kitchen and I passed his office," she swallowed the potato in her mouth, "the door was half opened so I, out of curiosity..."
"You p-peeked inside?" Somehow the blond girl seemed worried, she was visibly shivering, "Sascha, it could bring you trouble you know..."
Sascha just shrugged as she continued her story, "however I peeked inside and I saw it."
The tall blond boy, Reiner was it?, smirked, "and you saw them?"
She nodded, "They were kissing."
The tomboy covered the blond girl's ear with her thin hand, her brows were furrowed, "Krista doesn't have to hear this."
"Maybe you were wrong," the calm girl with red scarf put down her cup on the table, "maybe they were just talking or..."
No wonder she was the best among her peers. Mikasa Ackerman was sure smart, Levi noted. However Sascha shook her head to deny what had Mikasa just said. Levi scowled deeper as the girl continued.
"They were on the floor. Squad Leader was under Captain Erwin and they were sucking each other face..."
Eren Jaeger made a sound as if he was disgusted. It didn't go unnoticed by his friends.
The dark haired boy looked at Eren, "why you make such face."
Jean used this chance to snort at his rival, "did it disgust you? A kiss disgusts you? Aww... What are you? A kid?"
"Stop it, guys," the smallest boy with blond hair and girly feature tried to stop the fight before it happened.
"Don't tell me, you've never been kissed?"
When Eren jumped to punch the taller boy, Levi had left the room, leaving the poor Mike alone to stop the kids from killing each other.
.
Levi massaged his temples as he laid in his bed. Those kids were so noisy, always gave him this kind of headache. He closed his eyes and frowned, though this time, there was another reason that had caused him the headache. Not only headache, he had this weird feeling too bothering him. Why Erwin? Why Hange? He knew he shouldn't have believed the rumor easily but he couldn't help but to think about it.
Maybe if he heard about the silly rumor a month ago, or maybe two weeks ago, he wouldn't have to feel like this. It would still feel weird, of course, knowing that two of the closest people two you were doing such a thing but maybe he could just snort it off... If only it had happened two weeks ago.
He cursed. Now he remembered it again though he had tried so hard to forget about it. The fact that he closed his eyes also didn't help him. Now he could see it again... What had happened that night.
Levi touched his lips with his finger. He could still feel it. It had been twelve days but he could still feel the warmth of her lips on his. Or her taste...
The raven haired corporal groaned. He was supposed to forget about it!
That had been a mistake. A very stupid mistake that could have damaged his so-called friendship with her. He wasn't supposed to enjoy it! He knew he should forget it but how could he forget the way she moaned against his lips that night?
It was a mistake and it was Hange, for God sake, and he had never seen Hange in that way before, but it didn't change the fact that it had been pleasurable. From the way she moaned at the time, he could see that she enjoyed the kiss as well... but...
"That shitty glasses!" Levi cursed as he opened his eyes angrily. He was frustrated but he didn't know what to do, "do you have to kiss every man around you? May be tomorrow you would kiss Moblit too!"
As soon as the word left his mouth, he regretted it.
The image of Hange kissing Erwin had been disturbing enough, he didn't need another image of her kissing Moblit.
That damn woman!
