I would like to point out a few things before you read; as to understand the story a little
Levi is 30 (made character younger as to not have such a huge age gap)
Erin (female alternative) is 27 and a college student.
Mikasa is 10 and in preschool; living with Levi who is her aunt and adopted her after tragic circumstances. If you have seen the series you understand what I mean.
Levi muttered crossly as she made her way to work; she had been asked to come in early by her boss Erwin. Why the hell he couldn't ask someone like Oluo or Mike to come in was beyond her understanding. They weren't exactly gold star workers; but they were still helpful and efficient at their jobs.
She was aware that out of the group in her branch office she was the most capable next to Petra and Hange. However she had planned on taking her time off this week; as she had been holding it off for ages. But now of all times he asked her to come into work?
"Damn him; always pulling strings like he's toying with a fucking puppet" Levi growled angrily. If not for the fact that she was a hard worker and liked her payroll; she would have quit a long time ago. But then again trying to find a new job at 30 wasn't really an easy feat.
"Auntie Levi..."a small voice muttered from beside her in a sharp tone. She could already tell she was going to get an earful; it was blatantly obvious in her tone.
Levi cursed internally; she had forgotten that Mikasa was with her today. She still had to drop her off at preschool. Now she was going to get scolded by a brat for having a potty mouth.
She looked down at Mikasa with her steely blue eyes "Mikasa?" she responded bluntly. She was in no mood to sugar talk her niece today. A child like her was yet to understand the stresses of adult life. Her life was still so carefree compared to her busy one.
Levi had taken in Mikasa as her own and legally adopted her after the death of her parents. She was amazed that under the tragic and horrific circumstances of her parent's death; she was still so blunt and honest. However she admired the resilience Mikasa showed despite all that had happened to her.
"Swearing isn't ladylike" The young girl said bluntly. She knew that Levi's job was stressful and her co-workers were annoying; but swearing wasn't very appealing as a woman. If she kept it up she would never get a girlfriend.
Levi clicked her teeth crossly; how was a 10 year old girl such a smart mouth? There were times she questioned that the girl was even related to her sometimes; what with their polar opposite personalities.
"If you keep being so angry all the time you'll get frown lines" Mikasa responded slyly. She did enjoy winding up her aunt a great deal. But deep down she did love her; even if she had an odd way of showing it.
"If you keep being smart with me then I'll eat all the pudding out the fridge" Levi retorted sharply. She knew how much Mikasa liked pudding as a snack; so by eating it she would sulk for hours.
Mikasa glared silently at her aunt and Levi glared right back. You could practically sense the tension between them in the air. It rose off of them like thick smoke from a fire "Bossy witch" she retorted angrily.
"Smart ass brat" Levi snapped bluntly. Why was it that now of all days Mikasa had to choose to test her patience? Her day mainly composed of eating snacks and playing with toys. She had no idea of how stressful it was to have a 24 hour working job.
"Workaholic old lady" Mikasa retorted sharply. She was not going to back down until Levi accepted she was in the wrong. Swearing was a bad habit and it was not appealing to anyone.
A vein appeared on Levi's head after that comment; who was she calling old? She was 30! How dare this little brat call her old! Just because she was out of her party years didn't make her old! She had a lot of nerve saying such things.
"Keep that up and you'll get a spank" Levi stated sharply. While she never abused Mikasa in any way; spanks taught her a lesson. It kept her in line when she pushed her attitude and got smart with her.
Mikasa glared but was somewhat nervous about what she said. However she would never let on about her fear. "You wouldn't dare" she muttered wavering. The last time she got spanked; it was because she got paint all over Levi's clean blouse.
"Try me brat" Levi stated coldly. Now that she had the upper hand she was going to use it for all she had. She would make sure Mikasa learned her lesson for being so cheeky to her elders.
Mikasa continued to hold her ground but eventually caved. Teasing her aunt was not worth earning a sore rear "Whatever" she muttered crossly. She'd get her revenge somehow.
Levi smirked; she may have had to use dirty means but she had won this argument. Nobody called her old and got away with it; nobody.
Later
Levi exited the preschool sighing heavily; at least for the rest of the day she could have space from Mikasa. She often wondered where she got her attitude from; probably her. She sighed heavily with exasperation.
"She's getting worse with each passing day" she muttered crossly. She dreaded what Mikasa would be like when she started school. She had been told the teen years were always the worst. It was something she dreaded the most next to her eventually getting married when she grew up.
Suddenly as she was exiting the doors she bumped into someone. She made an oof sound as she did and her annoyance level rose. "What now?" she hissed sharply. She looked up her eyes filled with annoyance; then everything stopped.
In front of her was a tall brown haired woman with the most stunning green eyes Levi had ever seen. Compared to Levi's C cup breasts; this woman was a D cup. She had above shoulder length straight hair with V parted bangs; with a small amount of her hair tied back into a knot.
Compared to Levi's work orientated attire; this girl was dressed a lot more femininely. She was wearing a dark green turtleneck blouse, black skinny jeans and brown ankle boots. Atop that she was wearing a grayish duffle coat with a slightly fluffy hood.
"Geez I'm sorry; I wasn't watching" The girl apologized awkwardly. She had been on her way to study with her friend Armin for an upcoming test. Being so intent to get there on time she never even noticed the woman.
Levi couldn't help but stare at this girl; she was so beautiful it was like she stepped out of a painting. She had never seen someone so attractive in her entire life. Was this a dream after her annoying morning?
The girl became worried this woman had been staring at her for a long time. Had something bad happened to her? Maybe a break up with someone causing her to not be thinking clearly?
"Have a nice day; I'm sorry for the inconvenience" She apologized awkwardly and started to walk away. She hoped the woman wouldn't have any more inconveniences on her way to work.
Levi snapped out of her daze and grabbed the young woman's arm; she didn't want to let her get away. "Wait!" she cried out suddenly before she could stop herself.
The girl stopped to look back at her; her green eyes filled with confusion. Did this woman mistake her for someone else? Was she really so annoyed about being bumped into?
Levi blushed awkwardly feeling like an idiot "What's your name?" she asked awkwardly. How was she making such a fool of herself in front of such a cute girl? Usually she was so composed and in control.
The girl smiled at her gently "Yeager; Erin Yeager" she said politely. She had a feeling this girl may be crushing on her. But she didn't mind; not when the other party was quite the looker for an older woman.
So this girls name was Erin. It was kind of odd that her surname sounded similar to the liquor brand "Erin; would you care to meet up sometime?" Levi asked hesitantly. She had no idea if she was even this girl's type; but Levi knew for certain that she was her type.
Erin blinked quietly then her smile grew bigger; she turned to face Levi and scribbled down on a note of paper. "Have to say I've never been asked out like this before" she chuckled in amusement.
Usually when she was hit on it happened at a bar and someone walked up to her; other times people would casually walk up to her and slip a date into a conversation. However she found this girls attempt quite adorable; plus it made a nice change from the usual game play people used.
Levi blushed and looked away; she had a feeling she was making a scene which would prove to be a problem. She hated unnecessary bullshit; it always caused problems later on.
Erin handed her the paper and smiled playfully "Guess I'll see you around...?" she questioned hoping for the woman's name. Would be nice to know what to call her should they meet up in the future.
Levi blinked quietly then realized she hadn't told Erin her name "Levi...Levi Ackerman" she stated awkwardly. How the hell had she forgotten to bring up her name in this conversation?
Erin hummed thoughtfully and smiled "Never heard a name like that before; I like it" she said cheekily. As far as she could tell it was french in Origin; bonus points for her. Older woman who happened to also be french in descent; SCORE.
She then turned around and started walking away. She raised her hand to wave at Levi as she departed "See you around Levi-chan" she teased cheekily.
Levi blinked again then realized she was making fun of her. She turned even redder and walked away in the opposite direction. "How come the cute ones are always the pests?" she muttered quietly.
At least she had Eren's number if she ever wanted to meet up with her again. She just hoped that next time she wouldn't tease her.
