Do You Love Me?
Levi walked out of the building. He wore his black coat and appeared unapproachable. Though really he was just thinking, he stood before the door and broke down everything that was discussed. However, somewhere in his mind..Hange would pop up.
The wooden door opened and Hange walked out. She also wore a black trench coat. But unlike Levi's hers closed over her torso. She pushed up her glasses and stuff her hands in her coat pockets. Levi noticed as she passed that she wore that same..look.
Before the female could make it two feet, Levi's hand was grasping Hange's arm. Hange stopped and looked at Levi in small shock. Though the man before her kept his serious demeanor,
"Hange. During the meeting you look like you were holding in shit. Actually, you look like it now. " After a brief paused he asked, "What's wrong?"
Hange trembled, she looked away and continued to fidget. "Just...thinking. A question is in my head and I need an answer..."
Levi's eyebrow twitched upward, his eyes softened out of curiosity for Hange's next words.
"Do you...love me?"
Well that was certainly unexpected! Levi grunted and quickly released her arm, "We spent an hour in that meeting and that's all you thought about?"
Hange stepped closer, blushing madly and refraining from touching him. "Well? Do you?"
It was plain, it was simple..."No." But it wasn't in an emotionless tone like usual.
It was that one flaw..that urged Hange to continue.
"Do you love me?"
She would ask softly, when she laid on his bed reading while he sat before her legs. His back to her as he cleaned his blades calmly.
"No." He would reply, and as a response she poked his side with her toe.
"Do you love me Levi-eee!?"
Hange, would so carelessly yell, running down the hall after him. He'd walk, his survey corps jacket on and ignoring her nonetheless.
"No."
"Neh Levi? Do you think you might love me?" She asked in concentration. Or so he thought she was concentrating. At her own desk and sketching experiments; Levi would be there out of curiosity and comfort. But when she asked him that, he stared down at her with that mortified face of his.
"Might?"
"Levi. Do you love me?"
Hange asked, feeling exhilarated from a titan kill. It tried to harm her first so it was okay to kill then. She leaned against Levi's shoulder. Even when his cloak had evaporating titan blood he still smelled fresh.
"No. Now focus on the mission Hange." Then he zipped off into the air at the call of his name.
Clink!
The sound of a tray hitting his desk in a calm manner was always a delight to his ears. Levi reaches for the cup. His hand grasping the top of the cup and lifting it to his lips, but a certain gleam of glasses stop him. "Eh?"
"Do you love me!?" Hange asked, standing over him. Levi set the cup down, his thin eyebrows going up.
"Why do you feel the need to ask me that every time we see each other?"
"Mmmm. Because it's true!" Hange poked his cheek then began to waltz away.
"True?"
"Yes. You! Are just to hard-headed to say it out loud!" Hange chuckled, Levi sipped his tea then snapped up at Hange. "Hard-headed huh?"
But she kept walking, he cleared his throat.
"Oi."
"Hm?"
Hange turned around and approached him, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her down to eye level. But no words were exchanged for he kissed her instead. Their lips mashed together in a passionate motion before Levi pushed her head back.
"I show my love through physical contact you idiot." He claimed, but Hange only whined.
"But why won't you say it!?"
"I say I trust you. I think that about explains everything." Levi then looked away, feeling bashful. "But." He paused, "Do you...love me?" His question sounded plain and casual.
But Hange knew how much he meant by it, he probably yearned to hear it too.
She thought about it, "Mmm." She paused and glanced upward,
"No."
She was at the door before he could lay another finger on her, she stepped out into the hallway, but just before she shut the door...she chuckled,
"But I trust you."
And trust triumphs love! In a world with titans and death at every door..(Plus the existence of the Military Police) I agree with Levi here. I hope you enjoyed my story! And I hope you will look forward to more because I love doing these drabbles so. Until next time.
