one

shuffling your feet, only wearing one shoe as you walks towards the crowd of people that had met for morning training, being nearly 15 minutes late you keep your head lowered in shame. You feel eyes on you as you quietly clear your throat and stand beside a girl who glanced down at your foot and back up, a puzzled look plastering across her face.

You give a small shrug at her innocently before hearing a voice, it pulls you away from you silent conversation with the girl on your left "glad you could join us-" the man stops glancing at the watch that was hooked around his slim wrist. "-17 minutes later than you were meant to"

You let a small huff escape your lips and let your eyes fall onto the man only a couple feet infront of you. levi, the man who possessed the power to make your blood boil at the sight of him yet somehow shed your dignity out with one look. "im sorry captain i-"

"wheres your shoe?"

You were cut off, all eyes on the two of you as you glances down at your bare foot where a white sock used to be, the sock now brown from the mud. "um- a giant puddle demanded a sacrifice, sir" you stare at him with an expression that only explaines your humour right now was 'im pissed but i am still hilarious' or so you thought, to levi not so much.

he stared at you unamused and leaned his weight onto one leg, unbuttoning the cuffs on his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, staring at you directly into your eyes with a stone cold expression, you hum slightly, returning the gaze with a slightly amused one.

"a puddle.. did you give your shoe up willingly or was this an accidental sacrifice."

You hum slightly and glanced back down at your muddy foot. "im not actually quite sur-" you feel a hand grab your hair, shoving you down onto your knees, hands landing in the mucky ground below you along with the wetness starting to seep and stain your white trousers, a grunt leaves your lips on impact and you stare up at the man holding you down with slight shock, him crouched down next to you, your head being tugged back roughly by the hand in your hair.

"its a bit too early to be dealing with your antics.. runt.. wouldnt you say? or are you that desperate to get a beating" he scowled down at you, his hair falling over his eyes slightly.

a small breath leaves your lips. "no sir.." you mumble, making his grip losen on your hair, not before pushing you slightly as he did. "good." he turns and walks back to where he was standing before starting to speak to the other cadets.

You grumble to yourself, standing up and tried to get the dirt off your pants before levi speaks again. "and go get a damn shoe, you look ridiculous"

levi gave you a glare making you click your tongue and nod, walking off to the storage room where uniforms are kept, borrowing a pair of shoes that fitted you.

...

the training continued as usual after the little incident, levi ignoring every one of your snotty remarks and attempts to piss him off. that was until you said something that definetly got under his skin.

the cadets had been learning how to mount their horses, levi had said that your progress was choppy and wasting his time, you returned the comment with a mock when he had turned to walk away and then mumbled "you'd be hotter if you were taller.."

levi stopped in his tracks making you look up, gripping the reins on the horse a little tighter, shit. did he hear me?

He turns, walking towards you with a look that wasn't giving any signs of him possibly finding it funny, you stare, unsure of what he was going to do. "get off your horse" he demanded, his voice hoarse and laces with a spiteful tone.

"what?-"

"you heard me. get off your horse" he barked back, glaring up at you. A shiver was sent down your spine. Hesitantly, you lifted your leg over and got off the horse, now standing infront of the man, who stood 2 inches taller than you.

"repeat what you said" he glared down, only about arms length away from eachother, "captain im sorr-"

"repeat. what you said" he hissed, the tone very obviously pissed off.

You gulped glancing away and stayed quiet. levi scoffed, stepping closer to you and grabbed your jaw forcefully turning your head his way. "your all bark no bite. if your gonna speak to me like a little brat at least follow through." he shoved your head to the side again as he let go and gave you one last glare.

"trainings over. head for lunch" levi announced and turned.

You let out a breath, your shoulders slumping. "guess hes insecure about his height" you snickered to herself and headed with the rest of the group to get their food.
