..."Prove it."...

Levi pushed your body to the ground, holding your wrists tight.
You tried to come free, winding reluctantly under him, but it had no use.

Finally, you looked up and grimly away again.

"Fine.", you mumbled.

He blinked in question.

You, muttering:
"Fine. You win."

"Huh?"

"Are you kidding me?", you energetically pushed him off you, though were only able to, because he let it happen.

Afterwards he stood up, while you brushed the dust off your clothes.

"How often do I need to say it?"
While speaking, you retied your hair.

Since you had started, he won every single time, which annoyed you immensely.
All these trainings for nothing?, you thought frustrated.
How on earth does he even stay this fit all the time?
You narrowed your eyes.
Another Ackerman superhuman...

You looked at him once more and saw him pouting to himself.

You grumpily:
"What's so funny, heh?"

Levi:
"..."

"Yeah, yeah. Hilarious, I get it.", you uttered, while packing your things.
After throwing the bag over your shoulder, you looked at him expectedly.
"Are we going?"

"Don't you want another round?"

Furrowing your brows, you threw the towel in your hand straight at him.

He dodged effortlessly and you rolled your eyes in response.
"Braggart."

"..."

Levi:
"Loser."

"That's it!", you laughed and tried to bring him down to earth, but he evaded you.

Obviously you knew, that he was gonna swerve. That's why you caught onto the material of his clothes, but unfortunately somehow managed to trip over your own feet.
So as you tumbled ungraciously, you dragged him with yourself.

Both of you fell down with a slump and you burst out in loud laughter.
He glanced at you annoyed and got up again, while you still laid on the hard earth, holding your chest, which had lost all its breath just seconds before.
"Hahahahah, Levi!", you could only bring out.
"G-got you!"

He raised an eyebrow unimpressed and came nearer to stand right above you, covering you with his shadow.
"Who's defencelessly laying on the floor?"

But you could only continue laughing.
Levi wasn't aware of it, but he had a big, brown mud streak of dirt, covering the right side of his face and extending from his downer lip to the brow.

"Pffff!", you closed your eyes.

He eyed you annoyed and then went to go.
You slowly gazed up and saw him leaving.

"Hey!", you called.
While brushing yourself off, you skid after Levi.
"Wait!"

To you, he seemed as if you really got on his nerves with stoic mien he put out. So you tried to be more serious, holding back your giggle.
"S-so, why are you going?
...
Don't you want another fight?", you then teased unwillingly.
It merely slipped out.

Levi strut forward, without giving any reaction.

"I'm s-sorry...", you almost couldn't restrain it.

Levi:
"..."

All the sudden, Hange came out of the building, waving with her hand.
"Hayyyoooooo!", she shouted happily, until seeing his face.
"PFFFFFF HAHAHAHAH!", she cracked up.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!"
