Levi x Reader- Love me - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Go to sleep


It turned out to be that the said ‘basic manners’ included balancing books from the tip of your nose to running laps until you fainted from exhaustion and then balancing books from the tip of your nose while running laps. And no you where not joking he actually made you do it. But it hadn’t been such a hard job since you are the princess you had been doing this since you where born.

You started to remember your childhood. How you were required to act perfectly and flawless in everything you ever did. That made you angry, you knew it was necessary since many would discus if a woman could be suited to rule the kingdom. You would be the first Queen there ever was in at least 100 years. Since the walls were built there had never been a Queen. This pressured had been eating you since you were conscious enough to understand and comprehend what was happening.

The only thing that shut the council up was the fact that you were perfect. The perfect child. Perfect grades. Perfect chats. Perfect dresses. Perfect everything. You were never allowed to be a chid and you were pushed to grow too fast. You are just too mature for people from your age. You got bored being around them and eventually became another boring adult. Fortunately someone very dear to you rescued you.

A smile crept to your face making itself present at the memory of that special person. You where currently leaning against a wooden railing at the other side of the dorms. A chuckle escaped your mouth as you remembered all the pranks you made with him. If you missed anyone it would be him. Your father had ordered him to get away from you but him being him would sneak in your room at night and talk. When you left you had left a letter just for him. You really wished you could see him again even if it was from a distant, you yearn to see him if he is well.

You were in such a deep thought that you didn’t hear footsteps approaching you and you certainly didn’t hear anyone calling you names. You came out of your daydreaming by someone flicking your forehead, which made you lose your balance and fall to the hard floor.

“Ouch!”

You said loudly while soothing the throbbing pain on your head.

“What the-”

You began but stopped when you looked up to see who it was. Standing all tall and mighty was your superior and new squad leader. Levi had a pissed expression and was tapping the floor impatiently all of these while glaring looking at you as if you were a dirty little fly. You smiled awkwardly and stopped your hand putting it gently down hoping he would not see the movement.

“I…”

You began but were stopped when he raised his hand. You didn’t really know what you would say to him. You would certainly apologies in hopes of not getting another day of cleaning duty. A month had passed since you had first pissed him off on the dinning hall and it seemed you kept doing so every single day. He must think you were useless. You cursed yourself once more before trying to talk again.

“ Really I’m-”

You were stopped once again with him putting his hand up again and looking pained by the sound of your voice. That was not a good sign. Great you would probably get the whole week on cleaning duty. Great, just what you needed. He opened his eyes and looked at your worried face and sighed. He was getting accustomed to this. He sighed again. You tried again.

“Heichou…”

He stopped you a third time but this time with a fulminant glare that made you gulp your all your courage down to your stomach and lock it into a box never to come out again. He sighed again and offered you his hand like he had done earlier in the day. You took it and he lift you up. Unlike earlier it was gentler and he didn’t look that angry. He stood in front of him looking at your boots as if it was the most interesting thing in the whole world. You could feel his stare drilling holes on your head.

After a while you looked up and found him staring at the nothingness in the position as you once were in. You took a few steps to be next to him. He looked at you and said.

“It’s late you should go to your dorm”

You were really surprised by this. You were expecting a sever punishment not him dismissing you. You felt weird. This was not correct. It felt wrong so you stood there and waited for him to say something else. Maybe shout or scream at you as you were so used for him to do now.

“I said, go to sleep. You’ll need your rest tomorrow”

He said not looking at you. Your eyes sparkled when you heard him say you’ll need your rest that meant you would have a tiring day tomorrow.

“What will I do tomorrow? Clean your office? Clean the whole HQ?”

You asked a little to eagerly. He looked at you with an eyebrow raised. He probably thought you were mad. Who would want to be on cleaning duty? Just when he thought he had figured you out you become another person.

“What? No.”

He said discontented by your questions. He analysed you form your feet to the top of our head. He sighed rolling his eyes. He glanced at you again and a faint tint of pink adorned his cheeks. You had a puppy look and looked absolutely adorable. He immediately looked away.

“But if you really want to…”

He paused giving you his back.

“… You can help me clean the main offices”

He smiled widely and you were relieved because of his weird acting. Plus you get alone time with Levi. You mentally congratulated yourself.

“Yes Heichou!”

You exclaimed and ran to get a good night sleep tomorrow would certainly be a tiring day. When Levi was sure you weren’t around he quietly said;

“That cadet will make me go mad”

And then smiled as he left for he too should get to sleep.
