Your lie (Levi • Reader)

37. Ask him

... Stoically he walked past you and the two of you went down the stairs to leave together ...

You took a last glance back at the man on the counter and saw his angry face with a swollen and bruised cheekbone.

-

In the HQ, you were greeted by a surprised Sasha.
"Heey, (Y/N)!", she called happily, until seeing Levi appearing behind you.
She stopped and looked a little frightened at him.

"Hey Sasha, where are the others?", you asked her calmingly.

Her, nervously watching Levi go past both of you:
"They... were outside last time I saw them. I only went in to take something with me.", she fumbled an apple out of her pocket.

You giggled and suddenly heard another voice calling you from the end of the hallway.
"(Y/N)!, LEEEVII!"
You stared at Hange, who ran toward you with a big grin on her face.

Levi a few tables beside you stopped walking.

Hange excited:
"Well, how was your alone ti-, I mean the dress-scouting?"

You blinked a few times.
"Um, okay..."
You lifted up the bag in your hand to show it to Hange.
"Hange, where were y-"

Hange was suddenly pulled by the collar and pressed against a column.
"Four-eyes...", Levi grunted.

Hange smirked nervously.
"Levi, haha...", she scratched the back of her neck.
"Funny story, I-I, got lost, you know and decided spontaneously to go back-"

"Don't you ever do your own stupid tours again, shithead.", he told her.

"Won't happen a second time.", Hange laughed awkwardly.

"Indeed.", Levi glared at her in annoyance and let go of her.
Then he left.

With widened eyes, she stared back at him.
"I thought he'd be angrier...", she mumbled.
Then she turned to you and grinned, taking your hand.
"Tell me how it was!"

In your thoughts:
Is this woman suicidal?

-

After telling Hange about the trip, leaving a few details out, you went up to your room to take your stuff and go to shower. You felt filthy after trying on so many dresses and sleeping in that dirty bar-inn.

With a wide shirt, a pullover, some pants and underwear, you went to the community showers. Because it was dark, nobody would be here and you could clean yourself peacefully.

On the way, you met Mikasa, who didn't even cast you a glance. She, who usually kept her cool, seemed irritated and lowered her look when passing you.

Huh?, you thought.
What's going on?

A few rooms after, there was the men-section and you could hear laughter and shouts coming from one of the rooms.
You confusedly looked into that direction and quickly went back to open the door of the female showers.

-

You dried and put your new, fresh clothes on, pleased and good-smelling now.

When taking your filthy ones and leaving, you bumped into somebody after opening the door.

"I'm so sorry.", you rapidly said, trying to pick your own things and the belongings of the other person up from the ground.
