Worth a Stain

(8.24.13)

They're in the dining hall and Levi glares at the table. "Damn loud brats." He mutters under his breath. Most of the trainees are out training having already finished their food. He's drinking tea as he tries to ignore Hanji's rant about how wonderful and interesting Titans are based on her latest experiment.

He stares with a blank expression at the woman sitting across from him; he knows she won't shut up until she's finished. From the corner of his eyes he can see Eren with his 'smart' little friend and proclaimed 'protector' at his side.

"Just you watch, this time I am going to beat Jean!" Eren exclaims loudly making Levi's eyebrow twitch in annoyance.

"So for my next experiment I'm thinking about…" Hanji's conversation seems to trail off for him as he ones again stopped listening hoping she would take the hint that he just doesn't care about her obsession with those titan freaks. He sighs in frustration as she keeps on talking and suddenly her rants come to a halt in where she stops to look at him. "You're ignoring me aren't you?" She asks seeming to have finally gotten the hint.

"Finally caught on, huh, four eyes…" He commented to which she simply scoffed in response.

"Well I'm going to see my babies." She said before storming off with her tray. Levi was just glad to be finally let in peace.

"Aww, Armin! You can't be like that. Someday I'll be like Lance Corporal Levi, just taller." Eren said loudly causing said Corporal to glare in his direction. Apparently the brat wasn't aware that he was in the room.

"If you finished eating then go train, disrespectful brat." The last part was muttered under his breath. Eren quickly reacted to the Corporals word instantly standing up surprised about Levi's presence in the room.

He quickly nodded and left along with Armin. Levi stared at the young woman still sitting on the table, who kept eating as if he wasn't there. "Aren't you going to train, Ackerman?" He raised an eyebrow at her when she turned to face him.

"I'm still eating." She answered her expression as blank as his.

He kept staring at her and she stared back, both of them refusing to be the one to look away first. They were alone now as complete silence filled the room. He kept his gaze on hers refusing to lose to her.

She starts to eat, her eyes still on his as she chews on her food. For a moment he just sits there and glares, he decides to take another sip of his tea, but as he does he seems to spill it on his cravat.

"Damn." He murmurs under his breath as he places the cup of tea at the table breaking eye contact with Mikasa, annoyed at having spilled his tea on himself he sighs in frustration and as he stands up to leave his eyes are drawn to her.

There's a smile tugging at her lips, amusement on his behalf and as he picks up the cup of tea and leaves he can't help but think that maybe a simple stain was worth that smile that graced her lips. He wonders as he makes his way to his room, in search of another cravat, how he can make her smile the way she did.


A/N:

Thanks to the 4 people who reviewed on the previous drabble, this drabble is for you guys! :) Another thanks to those who put the story on alert and favorites, I'm surpised at such a high number for a single drabble.

Though I would like to ask that those who read leave a review. I hope you liked this one, hope it wasnt' too OOC, but I guess a little can't be helped.

Btw, someone in a review asked me to up the rating and do maybe a little M rated drabbles, do tell me what you think about that. But this I say beforehand, I don't write actual lemon (or whatever they're called) scenes.

Deal? :)
