How'd you fall in love with me?
Syo let herself fall on the sofa next to her captain, throwing him into the air. She took the opportunity to move under him, so that he could fall back down onto her lap.
«Shit! Syo, you made me drop the book!»
«Sorry… How is your day off going?», she asked in a not-so-sorry tone while patting his back.
Levi bent down to pick up his book before turning to her, a slightly annoyed expression on his face. «It was going pretty well before you showed up».
«Ah? Why? I just came to say "hello"!»
He moved off of Syo and sat next to her with his back leaning against the armrest, leaving a leg to rest on top of her. «Did you really have to send me flying?»
«Uhm… Wasn't that fun?»
«You're an idiot».
«But I'm your idiot!»
Levi mumbled something turning the pages of the volume, not paying attention to her anymore.
For a moment, the woman looked at him like a kid looks at their crush, a stupid smile on her face while she scanned him from the bottom to the top, resisting the urge to squeeze him.
She leaned forward to take a look at what he was reading, knowing full well that that would have annoyed him. He immediately gave her a threatening side look, backing up a little. «Would you mind?»
«Oh, come on! What are you reading?»
«It's the story of a very annoying woman whose body was never found…»
Syo scoffed and crossed her arms. «If you really think I'm that annoying how'd you even fell in love with me?»
«I found your lameness amusing».
Syo's face became serious all of a sudden and the two of them stared at each for several seconds, untill she broke the silence with a whispered but still clear sentence. «… bitch».
She moved quickly, stealing the book from his hands and holding it high above her head. Levi protested and stood up but didn't tried to take it back, knowing she was too tall for him to reach it. He just stood there looking at her angrily with his arms crossed on his chest, waiting for her to return it.
Syo gave it back to him almost immediately, not wanting to piss him off too much, and bent down to kiss his forehead as she heanded it to him. «Sorry. Do you want to be alone?»
Levi clicked his tongue but his expression had already softened a little. «You can stay, just be quiet», he said giving her a slight punch on the head.
