"Shit."

Kagome glanced up, blinking blankly when Levi cursed as soon as they entered in his quarters, "What's wrong, Big Brother?" She asked with a vague interest.

"I hope you're not asking that," Levi huffed, gesturing roughly with his head towards the corner of his room, "Understand now, you little brat?"

"It's a... bed," Kagome noted dully, "Is there something wrong with it?" She asked with a tilted head, not quite sure Levi was so upset about.

"The last thing I want to do is sleep with a homicidal little girl like you," Levi sneered, cursing Erwin in his mind once again, "I'll be sleeping with one eye open, so if you even try to slit my throat..." He left it as an open-ended threat.

There had not been enough time to secure another bed since bringing the girl to the Survey Corps, so it looked as if they had to sleep together for that night.

"You have the wrong idea about me," Kagome sighed childishly, "You think I'm going around killing everyone I meet," She mumbled, "I only kill the bad man who tried to take me."

Levi let out a ragged breath, knowing that she was correct in that he was treating her like some murderous psychopath, "Just get into the damn bed, brat. When is the last time you had a decent night's rest?"

"I don't know," Kagome was quick to take up the offer, practically jumping from one side of the small room to the other, "Are you really going to sleep with me, Big Brother?"

"You expect me to sleep on the filthy floor?" Levi raised a brow, rolling his eyes at the very thought, "Sorry, brat. I'm not that much of a gentleman." With that, he began to strip himself of his uniform without much care to dress for bed.

"Pervert," Kagome pointed out, earning a harsh glare from the grey-eyed man, "You don't have a girlfriend to sleep with?" She asked curiously.

"You must be lying about your age," Levi retorted, "For all I know, you could be my age with major stunted growth. What does a six-year-old know about girlfriends?"

"I don't have to grow up that much taller to measure up to you," Kagome stuck out her tongue and received another eye roll from the soldier, "It's okay, Big Brother. Even if you don't ever get a girlfriend, you will have me." She said flatly.

"How reassuring," Levi smirked sarcastically, eyeing her unruly locks with a frown, "If even one hair of yours touches my face, consider it gone." He warned.

"That's mean of you," Kagome pouted, gathering her hair after he lazily threw her a band to tie it up, "Maybe I should go be Mister's little sister instead."

"You're here and you're staying, you little brat," Levi flicked her forehead, getting into the bed when she moved over to allow him to do so, "Get used to it," He looked thoughtful for a moment, "And don't call the bastard 'Mister'. His name is Erwin."

"Goodnight to you too, Big Brother," Kagome shook her head with a sigh once again, "I won't cut your throat tonight." She said cheekily before closing her eyes.

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
