Levi watched the new recruits walk through the courtyard. He kept his eyes trailed on one female in particular but he shrugged it off when the rest filed in. Levi began to follow the recruits until they all turned around and swarmed around something, or well... Someone. He glared into the crowd as he noticed people were calling Eren's name. He pushed into the group and demanded everyone to head inside. He glanced back at Eren, who was standing next to a blonde boy and the girl he had been staring at. "What was that for?!" Eren yelled. Levi just walked away and heard Eren struggling to get near him because the two were now holding him back. Levi turned around and rose his swords. "Remember, I have the choice to kill you or not." Levi knew it was suppose to be an empty threat, but the girl didn't. She took a protective step in front of Eren as did the blonde boy. Imbeciles.
Levi had waited all day to confront Eren. When he did, Eren was taken aback by Levi stopping him in the hall. "Who's the girl you hang around?" Levi said as he watched some recruits walking down the hall in the opposite direction. "Oh, that's Mikasa. Why?" Levi recognized the name, ignored Eren's question, and strode down the hallway. He walked all the way to his room and plopped down on his bed. He was beginning to question if it was a good idea to bring the new recruits to the old HQ. Some of them were most likely going to desert at the sign of trouble, but then again, they all had the choice for something easier. Mikasa... Mikasa was a name he heard often. She was like a prodigy. She had the strength of hundreds of soldiers according to rumor, but he still had the strength of thousands.
Levi waited till nightfall to leave again. He went out the back and hung out outside until someone opened the door. "Sir, you should get rest." He didn't look back but felt a cloak put around him. He glanced up at Petra, whom he had hand-picked to join the Survey Corps. She was always looking out for him, and he never minded. But, right then he did mind her being here. He wanted silence, and to be alone in his thoughts. "Go to bed." He ordered. She shook her head no and said, "No, I am going to stay right here with-" Levi cut her off. "No. Its and order, Petra."
Without another word, she left him. Moments later, the door opened again. "I thought I told you to go-" He turned and saw Mikasa hanging in the doorway. Levi kept silent this time and proceeded to wait for her to speak. "Don't threaten Eren, don't hurt Eren, and don't let him get hurt, either." She stepped out of the door frame and closed the door silently as she heard foot-steps approaching. Levi stared in wonder at her. So beautiful in the moonlight...
Levi watched Mikasa come out towards him but she sat down next to where he sat. He looked forward and still waited for her to finish what was on her mind. She hesitated, but spoke once more. "Everyone looks up to you on your squad. I may not be as good as them, but I want to-" Levi looked at her and she quieted. "I would love to have you on my squad." He looked into her eyes and something sparked in him. He looked away and so did she. Mikasa felt her heart racing when he looked at her. In his eyes, his feelings were balled up like everything else. But, once he actually looked into her eyes, something raw hit the surface. She stood and so did he. "I should head to bed." Levi nodded, as if to say the same. So, they both went in and went their separate ways... For the night.
Like, or no? Review and follow and everything else of that matter!
But, will things fall down and Levi be broken of his neutral state? Or will he just ignore what had happened? Thanks for reading!
