Levi's kiss suprised me but I quickly relaxed into it, wrapping my arms around levi's neck deepening our kiss.
After awhile we both broke away for air. "Now that was beautiful." I said. Levi rolled his eyes.
"Shut up."He replied before crashing his lips against mine for the second time.
As he pulled away my heart was hammering so fast I thought it might burst. "I excite you don't I?" He said.
"And I don't do it to you." I countered as I went over to his closet where I was keeping a few outfits and grabbed my cloak.
Levi rose from his place on the bed and crossed the room as I closed the closet doors. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we simply stood like this for awhile.
"Come on Levi let's go eat I want to meet your squad." I said. He sighs clearly not wanting to stop what we were doing.
"Fine but let's keep this under wraps for now. The last thing we need is shitty glasses or Erwin freaking out about us."
I smiled, I liked the fact he said 'us'.
Because Levi was now my 'babysitter' it made sense that I join his squad. Though now I believe it's because of my skill or more likely because he had feelings for me.
After we got what looked like piss colored soup, some bread and for me coffee with a shitload of sugar. We went and sat with a small group of people who I assumed was his squad.
"Hello Captain." A woman with short hair and a chipper voice said. After a moment they all registered I was here. Their faces said it all. If they could kill me they would.
I sighed I was used to it. I simply sipped my coffee instead of digging myself a grave by opening my mouth.
"This is Minda." Levi said, his voice cold once again.
They seem to have their doubts, I didn't blame them I was once an Infamous killer.
Levi seemed to notice the tension and reached under the table and takes my hand in his. I smile faintly at this but act like nothing is going on.
"Minda this is Petra Ral, Eld Jinn, Gunther Schultz, and Oluo Bozado." They all nodded to acknowledge me.
I finished my coffee and dismissed myself to go see Hanji.
I knocked on the door to Hanji's lab. "Come in." A chipper voice called from inside.
I came in and Hanji came over and pressed a brand new clip of ammo into my hand.
"About time." I teased as I took one of the bullets out to examine it. She'd been working on some new ammunition for me. Satisfied I put it back on the clip and caught another one Hanji threw at me.
I began to clean and load my guns. "So what's up with you and Levi?" She askes me. I freeze causing her to laugh.
I quickly explain what happened this morning. She stood there as if as frozen as myself then ran and bear hugged me.
"I knew it." She said smiling as she let go on of me. "You two are so perfect for each other." She was so excited she could barely contain it.
"Just don't tell Levi you know, I'm supposed to keep it on the down low." I said grinning.
"Yeah yeah whatever." She replied as we began walking outside. It was just past midday and it was still chilly as the October air had set in.
We reached the edge of a small forest the Scouts used for training where Levi and the others were waiting.
"Took long enough brat" Levi said as we walked up. I rolled my eyes.
"Yea whatever short stack." I said as I walked past him to take a look at our training environment. Levi didn't fail to slap me across the back of my head as I passed.
"Ouch son of a bitch." I exclaimed. The rest of levi's squad looked at me as if I was the bravest or the dumbest person they'd ever met.
I pulled out my ribbon and put my hair up into a high pony tail and pulled my gloves on. I threw a line into a nearby tree and pulled myself up into it, testing the lines and making sure they didn't need to be replaced.
"Minda come down here we are still waiting on someone." Levi called. I sighed I wanted to get going but I suppose streches wouldn't hurt.
After effectively cracking pretty much every joint and freaking the shit out of levi's team. Whoever Levi was waiting on still hadn't shown I sighed and sat in the grass.
I pulled out my guns and began cleaning them, something I did when I was board. As I cleaned I began to humm a lullaby I sing Deseriè when she has a nightmare.
After a few minuets I heard Deseriè laughter getting closer and looked up to see her being chased by a new recruit covered in flour. I put my guns away and rose to my feet.
As Deseriè reached me I picked her up looking at her suspecting what she'd done. "You planted a flour bomb didn't you?" She grinned in reply.
The boy stopped a few feet away. "You know you have to clean it up?" I said. She nods still grinning. I set her down and she runs back inside to do just that.
"Minda this is Eren Yeager." Levi says nodding to the flour covered teen. I bite my bottom lip trying not to laugh.
"The titan shifter right?" The boy nodded. He seemed shaken after the flour bomb which made harder for me not to laugh.
I hope back up into the tree I was in before. "Come on short stack let's race." I challenge Levi who is right below me.
"Let's go." He replied and we took off as he shouted for the others to meet at the other side of the forest.
As we flew through the forest I couldn't help but feel free. It had been so long since I'd been back in the field and as soon as winter set in I'd be trapped inside to prevent my asthma from getting worse.
We came onto a target which Levi destroyed before I could even draw my gun. I frowned, I'd gotten soft. Oh well I grinned "no holding back" I thought.
I threw my next line in front of me and instead of flying past Levi, the branch broke and I fell a short distance into a pond, filled with mud from the last rain.
Levi landed nearby and he didn't bother to hide his amusement. I wiped some of the mud off my face and threw it at him.
It hit him square in the face. I laughed and pulled him into the pond with me. He quickly lost his amusement. We sat there with me laughing my ass off and Levi fixing to kill me, both of us covered in mud.
"Shut up." He said as he leaned over and wiped the mud off my mouth and pressed his lips to mine. We broke off for air and began to climb out of the pond.
It was early evening by the time we got back to HQ after Levi proved, even covered in mud he could kick my ass in a race.
I stepped out of the shower and pulled on my knee-high boots rather then my heels which were still covered in mud. I sighed those were gonna be a bitch to clean.
Levi came back from where ever he had been. "Oi, Minda let's go eat." I was curious normally I was the one bugging him to go eat.
"Fine let's go." I said kissing him briefly on my way past him.
As we walked the people kept smiling at me as if they knew what was going on. I looked at Levi curiously but his face didn't betray him.
We stopped in front of the mess hall which had it's doors closed. "Happy birthday Minda." Levi said softly. I looked at him in suprise.
I wrapped my arms around him, kissing him fondly. "This was you and Hanji wasn't it?" He nodded.
"Shitty glasses did most of the work." He replied. I smiled.
"I did get you something but that can wait until afterwards." He continued.
My smile faltered "What are you talking about?" This time he gave me an uncharacteristic smile before opening the mess hall doors.
Behind the doors was my whole team and almost every Scout including Erwin. "Happy birthday!" They all shouted. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes and Levi took my hand and guided me into the room.
Hanji ran up and bear hugged me for the second time today. "Happy 17th birthday Minda!" She shouted in my ear while Levi watched from nearby, his amusement evident.
Hanji finally let go of me as Erwin walked up with Deseriè sitting on his sholder. "You look like a pirate with a parrot." I said clearing more tears from my eyes.
Erwin chuckled handing Deseriè over to me. "Happy birthday" he said.
"Thank you sir." I replied smiling. Deseriè hugged Hanji style, bringing my attention back to her.
"Happy birthday mom."She said. I finally noticed she was clutching a peice of paper. She wouldn't give it to me insisting it was for later.
A few hours later when the party finally ended and Levi and I had put Deseriè to bed. We walked back to my room because we were too tired to walk to Levi's room.
The peice of paper Deseriè had turned out to be a picture of me, her, and Levi.
I smiled she was so young but she knew very well what was going on between Levi and I.
We finally got back to my room where I flopped down onto the bed, exuasted.
Levi sat down next to me. "Oi sit up, you have one more gift." I groaned but did as I was told. Deseriè hopped up on sugar would give anyone a run for their money.
He grabbed my wrist and latched a chain around it. He let go of me and let me look at it.
It was a simple chain with a small sapphire pendant. On the pendant engraved was today's date. I could feel the tears begin to fall.
"I love it." I said throwing my arms around him kissing him deeply.
