Ethel's POV:

The next day, after seeing Eren, here in the headquarters, I went walking outside, since Hanji, Levi and Commander Erwin asked me to come out, it was actually mostly Commander Erwin, but you get the point.

I saw the 140th cadet core, along with Levi's squad.

When I walked out, seeing everyone crowded around

"So what are we doing Commander?" I asked. Everyone looked to me since after all, I interrupted what Commander Erwin was saying.
I could see a slight frown on his face, but I shrugged it off.

"We are doing a training section," he said.

I blinked, "And you need me because?" I asked.

He signed, "Your one of the best with hand to hand combat," He said.

Levi was one of the strongest, Mike was the second, and I was third. But I was the strongest of my family, as I mentioned before.

I knew that wasn't the only reason, but I didn't mention it.
"So would you help or not?" Commander Erwin asked.

I signed, as I nodded.

He smiled at me, He grouped everyone against eachother, Apparently, I ended up against Levi.
We stared at eachother, I, of course, had to look up at him a little.

I hoped I wasn't blushing, but my head was beating fast, I hope he didn't hear it.

When it was time to start, I didn't attack right away, waiting to see what he did first, I've known him well, to know that Levi was pretty good at fighting, since after all, he lived underground before. And was known as one of the best thugs in the underground.

Levi saw I wasn't attacking yet, he went over and tried to punch my shoulder, but I dodged and kicking his chest. I saw him almost fall over but held his structure.

"Is that all Carpool?" I asked.

He frowned at me, "No," he said pointedly. He went to attack me again, I yet again dodged. And ended up flipping till I was behind him and I ended up tripping him to the ground. I could see a crowd watching but I didn't mind.

"Carpool, what the hell is wrong? You're not even trying," I said.

He growled, getting up, this time he was the one that tripped me to the ground, And he went over and held me to the ground, only for me to change the positions, where I was sitting on his back, and putting an arm behind his back, like what I did with Eren.

"I swear I will kill you, if you're going easy on me," I said.

"I'm not-" Levi trailed on.

I interrupted him, "Bullshit," I exclaimed. "Do you take me for an idoit? Your way stronger than this, I've known you for 6 years," I said sternly.

"Ethel-" I heard Eren call.

"Go away Eren, It's fine," I said.

Normal POV:

To be completely honest, Levi didn't like this one bit, he wanted to use his full strength, she's also telling him too, she loved to challenge everyone so it made sense. But for some reason, Levi just kept getting distracted by this girl, his heart was beating to fast and he couldn't focus on the fight, instead, he focused too much on trying not to blush infront of the girl. He hated showing off emotions like a book, but he couldn't help it. Levi has liked no loved the girl since he first met her.

Even when she was sitting on top of his back with her hands holding on to his arm to behind his back, he felt his heart beat fast and he was glad that he was on the ground, since she couldn't see his red cheeks.

Her soft, small hands and thin fingers weren't making it any better, she was, after all, holding both of his wrist behind his back. Even when she was scolding him, for some reason he couldn't stop his heart from almost coming out of his chest.

He felt he had enough, and ended up flipping them again, he could hear Ethel's slight shocked gasp, before she was on the ground, her back where Levi once was.

She was shocked when she could see the slight blush on Levi's face, her heart was still beating fast, but she was trying hard. Not to make it known, behind Levi she could see the knowing look on Erens face.

She looked at Levi, Levi wasn't really looking into her eyes, so she took this as a chance to catch him off guard. She pulled him by the scarf or whatever it was called around his neck to her, and kissed him. She could hear the shocked gasps, and the slight screams from Hanji and Petra, Who she knew shipped them together since they first met. His lips were softer than she imagined, which was shocking, but she didn't mind, she loved it actually. Before he can respond, she was already standing up and walking back to the headquarters. She didn't wait to see his reaction, she didn't even look back.

Levi, however, was frozen, if his heart wasn't beating before it was now. Her lips we softer than his, and a slightly fuller. He still felt her lips on his, it was only a few seconds, and he wished it was longer. When he stood up he could still feel people staring at him, but he didn't' do anything.

After Practice was called off, Eren walked over to him.

"What is it Brat?" Levi asked.

Eren gave him a knowing look, "If you want to date my sister, I don't mind, and neither does Mikasa and Armin," Eren said.

Levi blinked, "And you're telling this to me because-" He trialed on.

Eren smiled, "I know you have feelings for my sister," He said.

Levi didn't answer, even if he wanted to, he just watched Eren walk away.

Ethel's POV:

My heart was beating fast, I did after all kiss Levi, the person I loved for 6 years since I was 21, and I was already in my late 20s.
I went to my team's meeting room, my heart beating loudly in my chest.
