~~Flashback~~

I had joined the survey corps three weeks ago, and everything's boring. IT's all cleaning and experiments with Hanji. I wished there were missions outside the walls but we needed to wait for the new recruits, which was happening in a couple of days. I was currently sitting in my seat at the dining table watching Levi work. I watched as he wrote on the many pieces of paperwork, with the same bored expression. In my opinion he looked amazing and sexy but I wouldn't tell anyone that.

"Brat, what are you doing? Why are you staring at me?" Levi voiced through the silence and I snapped out my thoughts. His voice was dee and beautiful, like music to my ears.

"S-s-s-sorry, I-I-I was j-j-j-just th-th-thinking." I replied quickly. It was strange that I am not a nervous person, get around Levi I couldn't form a sentence without stuttering.

"Ok, well pay attention. This will be useful to know later. Come sit here." He answered me as he pointed to the chair next to him. I moved quickly to the seat and watched as he continued to do paper work. This wasn't what I had in mind when I joined. I wanted to fight titan but all I was doing is watching Levi do paperwork and cleaning.

"You're still not paying attention. This is pointless." Levi voice up again and started to move all the paperwork away. He looked at me for a couple of minutes as I stared back, unsure of what to do.

"So-so-so, w-w-w-what a-a-a-are we d-d-d-d-doing n-n-n-now." I stuttered and he leaned back in his chair.

"Why do you stutter around me? I heard you talking to other members of the survey corps and you don't stutter, so why me?"

"I d-d-don't k-k-know. I g-g-guess I just l-l-l-look up to y-y-y-you and don't w-w-what to d-d-d-disappoint y-y-you." I answered and knew the real reason. I loved him. I have for a while now even before I joined the survey corps. I saw him come back from a mission outside the walls one day and then I was hooked. I wanted to see him more but he never knew I existed before now.

"Oh, really. Why do you look up to me when there is everyone in the survey corps." He asked, getting personal now and I didn't know why.

"T-T-T-This is g-g-getting really u-u-un-uncomfortable. W-w-w-why do y-y-you want t-t-t-to k-k-k-know?"

"I just wanted to know more about you, and why you seem so distant with me. I know we haven't known each other that long but I the one who will kill you. Don't you think you should give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you if it came to that."

"Like w-w-what?"

"Why do you hate titans so much, when you are one? Is there someone you love? Who can't you live without? Who do you look up to and why? I give a reason."

"OK, I will try. I hate titan because they took everything from me. They are the reason we are pinned up in these walls. I want to be free. To know what the outside world looks like."

"brat, you stopped stuttering." He pointed out. I guess my hatred for titans made me not care that Levi was sitting next to me.

"I guess I did. Wow, I can't believe this." I said, thinking aloud.

"Brat you haven't answered my questions."

"Right ok, well I guess I can't live without my friends. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. I look up to you because you're strong, so you can kill titans faster than the others. I also, look up to you because I like you." I said as my confidence grew and words split out my mouth that I never wanted to tell him. I quickly covered my mouth hoping he wouldn't question it. What did I do?

"I see. Well, I really am flattered. I am surprised that you opened up to me so easily." He said as he stood up and moved so he could be in front of me. "How do you like me? Do you want me to be your friend or something more?"

"What? What are you saying?" I answered as he looked in my eye. Was he joking? What was going on?

"Answer me." He commended as he put his hand on my face.

"I love you, Levi."

"I love you too, brat."
