Your lie (Levi • Reader)

67. Midnight meal

..."Roger, no... Chief needs you..."

You went down to the canteen to finally eat something.
Your stomach growled, because you hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and it was night already.

In order to arrive at the kitchen, you slinked through the dim hallways of the huge building.

Naturally, there was no light, so you were consumed by the darkness.
Although your eyes were still able to perceive the outlines and figures around the halls without much effort.

And it was also silent, because everyone was in their rooms already, preparing and pretending to be asleep, even though they weren't, obviously.

-

In the kitchen, you reached out for an apple.

When thinking of Hange, you sighed.

This was so embarrassing.
At the alone image in your head, you got flustered again and your cheeks unwillingly reddened.
Aaah, Hange...

As if I would ever stalk Levi.

You put an apple out of a casket under the counter.

And even if I did, she was the one with that weird idea.

Thereafter you went to the sink.
But you had to unintentionally frown at the thought of Levi accepting Petra's offer to drink something.
There was an unpleasant sting in your chest, making you feel indisposed.

Why did she even have to ask him to help her for some random papers?
And afterwards express her 'gratefulness' through inviting him for a cup of tea?
Pff.
It's so obvious, that she likes him.

Something in you felt uneasy.

You closed the cabinet door after yourself.

Also, how did Perra call me?, you thought annoyed.
A kid??

After washing the apple, you bit into it and formed a mien, because of its sourness.

„A kid and his mentor.", you mumbled, repeating her words.
„It's normal to get jealous, meh, meh.", you imitated her.
„I'm not jealous."

With the other hand, you opened a big drawer in the hope to find something, like another rest of a loaf of bread, for example.
But your hopes weren't actually high, due to Sasha's constant, daily checking.

And I'm definitely not a kid.

With one crossed arm, you leaned against a table, ate up, took some other green apple and went to leave.

‚Oh, Heichou, thank you!'
You rolled your eyes.
As if I cared who he's with, you thought peevishly.
To me, he could-

At once, you almost choked on the food, after seeing Petra and Levi sitting just right outside of the kitchen on a table.

Immediately, you withdrew in hope of them not having heard you.

"Hello, (Y/N).", Petra greeted friendly from outside.

Your shocked expression slowly peeped over the entrance and smiled uncomfortably in response.
Levi looked at you annoyed and you blushed quickly.

"You're hungry.", Petra pointed out and smiled.

"Yea, you too.", you replied immediately without thinking.
Oh my god, what did I just say?
Dear holy spirit, can I please die?

"Haha.", Petra laughed mellowly.
"Will you go to bed now?"

"Sure, I was simply hungry."
Evidently, through the fruit in my hand, you thought.
