Your lie (Levi • Reader)

Yeager's children

You wiped with a hand over your dripping scalp, before you took a step back and went back, leaving Levi standing alone in the rain.

Inside of the building you walked to the dried Eren, who still held a towel around his shoulders.
"Hey.", you greeted with a smile, your hair drained, thus flatly falling down your face.

"Pff, what happened to you?", the boy asked with a grin, pulling his towel off the shoulders and placing it onto you head instead.

You giggled in response, while the others came forward too, talking loudly in chaos.
Eren closed his eyes, as your friends told you who caught him drying himself in the girls' bathrooms.
"And Erwin stood there, watching Eren casually walking out!", Sasha chortled.

"He-he-", Connie stammered in between.
"Eren was inside and then he struts out, almost bumping into General Erwin, who stared at him irritated and then Eren has this scared expression he always has!"

"HAHAHAHA!", Connie and Sasha both laughed, while Mikasa shook her head slightly at them.

Red flushed into Eren's face, as he switched to see you giggling along with them.
"I-I-", he brought out embarrassed.
"The boys' bathrooms were so filthy and the female ones were way closer-"

"HAHAHAHAH!", you laughed heartily as well, placing a hand on his shoulder and looking at him.
"You went into a female bathroom again?"

Ymir glanced at you and chuckled maliciously.
"Well, he just can't keep his fingers off of it.", she scoffed.
"Little pervert."

"WHAT?", Eren exclaimed, making everyone just laugh even harder.

Levi went into the building, his dark, frazzled hair hanging down heavily. He ran with his fingers through the dark strands, looking over to you and your friends. In the meanwhile Mark walked over to him, seeing where Levi's attention was directed to.
At that, the man gave him an empathetic expression.
"I see, was there a fight between superior and cadet?"

Levi glanced annoyed at Mark.
"..."

"Can I be of any help?", Mark smiled.
"I know what girls like and are like. I've met plenty of them and know exactly what they want."

Levi remained silent.

"You saw it. She needs someone who cares for her.", Mark's expression moved to you laughing with your friends.
Levi glanced to you ruffling through Eren's hair with a big grin.

"You have to flood them with presents and surprise them all the time. Make them choke under the huge masses of clothes and paraphernalia.", Mark simply stated, shrugging.
"The rests are of course going to be thrown away anyways, but who cares?"

Levi expressionlessly:
"That's your philosophy?", he asked monotonically.
"Throwing away because you can?"

Mark pouted.
"Just sacrifices."

Levi darkly:
"The people who don't get enough to eat and starve to death are sacrifices?"

"No, but everyone is born under different circumstances. Or do you think any of these women here would refuse such pristine lifestyle and prefer always being endangered to die from either titans or starvation?"

Levi looked at you smiling and starting to explain something enthusiastically to Armin, pointing at your and his palm each.
Then his deep voice sounded.
"You're even dafter than I thought."

Mark frowned.
"What? What am I supposed to do when women work that way?", he asked, still slightly irritated.
"Otherwise they'll just walk away from you and find a new guy to provide them with things they long for. This here is the best example.", he added deviously.
