You opened your eyes as you slow awoke from your dream. You rolled over and sank into the warm divet left by Levi. You laid there for a little while longer just breathing in his scent. Eventually you gathered up the effort to begin the day. It took some time to get ready. Fastening all the 3DM Gear straps took longer than it looked. After quickly running a brush through your (h/c) locks you were on your way to breakfast.
The mess hall was fuller than usual and it took you a second to realize that the new recruits had only just arrived. After grabbing a tray and soupy looking oatmeal, you snaked your way around tables and recruits to your own table which sat your very good (and possibly mentally unstable) friend Hanji. You grin slightly when you notice she excitedly talking to a new recruit. You slid into the empty spot next to her. “Hope you aren’t scaring the newbies,” you greeted.
“When have I ever done that?” Hanji asked, grinning back at you.
“More than you know, I imagine,” You say before spooning your oatmeal.
“Anyway, (f/n), maybe you can help us figure something out,” Hanji said, bringing the rim of her bowl to her lips and downing the rest of her meal.
“And what would that be?” You ask tentatively. This wouldn’t have been the first time you were roped into your friend’s antics.  
“Mikasa here,” she began as she pointed to a new black haired recruit wearing a red scarf around her neck, “wants to try and get her boyfriend—”
“He’s not my boyfriend,” the girl interrupted, her face turning a shade redder than a tomato. You resisted the urge to laugh.
“Or whatever he is, to do what she wants,” Hanji finished.
“Why the hell do you want to do that?” You asked turning to the recruit.
“I just want him to notice me more. That’s really what I want,” she answered, burying her face in her scarf.
“Um… well I don’t think I’ve ever had that problem,” You say.
“What problem?” said Erwin as he sat down next to Hanji.
“Go figure that word would attract you,” You mutter under your breath.
“This recruit wants to be noticed by her boyfriend,” Hanji blatantly answered him. Somehow Mikasa got even redder. “Maybe you could give us some tips,”
For the first time in your life you’d never seen Erwin stumped, yet here he was with his brow furrowed and unable to come up with an answer. “In all honesty, I don’t know,”
“You could try bitching,” You say after swallowing some food.
“What?” the three said in unison.
“Well, whenever I feel kinda down or pissy Levi will do almost anything to try to cheer me up. It’s like a switch goes off and his main focus is me,” You explained.
“I’d like to see that,” Hanji giggled. Erwin gave a small chuckle. “Actually, I’d pay to see that,”
“I don’t think that’s possible.I don’t I’ve ever seen Levi go out of his way to try to be nice to someone. Even you, (f/n) ,”Erwin said.
“I bet money I could do it. In a day,” You said defiantly.
“You’re on,”

Encounter #1
You first saw Levi while you and Hanji were walking down the hall to your room. He turned to talk to you but you humphed and kept on walking. He stood there with a dumbfounded expression and all he could was continue watching you walk down the hall. Once in your room and the door was closed Hanji bust out laughing, “Did you see his face?! That was hysterical!” Hanji collapsed onto the bed and continued her fit of laughter for another minute or two.
“I feel kind of bad,” You said.
“If you wanna pull out of the bet you can but that means you owe me and Erwin a ton of money~” she  hummed.
“No way”


Encounter #2
The second time you bumped into him was in the training room. You had just finished a workout when Levi walked in to start his. You attempted to do the same thing you did in the hall but this time Levi grabbed your arm. “(f/n), what’s wrong?” he asked.
You quickly racked your brain for a response. “Nothing. Not anything I’d want to talk to you about anyways,” You yanked your arm from his grasp and sauntered off.
When you got to your room and had showered off, you began to feel rather guilty. You didn’t like being mean to Levi. But then you remembered the amount of money you would be getting if you succeeded. Suddenly, the guilt went away.


Encounter #3
Lunch was rather awkward. You were sitting at your usual table with Hanji when Levi took the open seat next to you. He didn’t try and talk to you like before, but he kept his steely gaze on you the whole time you were eating. Towards the end it was getting really hard for you to ignore him. You kept your focus on Hanji and asked her all sorts of questions just to keep her talking so you could pretend those eyes weren’t glaring at you.

Ecounter #4
Erwin had called a meeting for all the squad leaders to go over the next expedition plan. This was going to be another tricky spot. There would only be five people in that meeting. You, Hanji, Mike, Erwin, and Levi. And chances were that at some point Levi would try to make you crack. You straightened  yourself up and put on your best ‘upset face’ before entering the room. And unlucky for you the only seat open was next to Levi.
During the meeting the two of you didn’t say a word. And as you predicted Levi pulled you over to the side at the end. “(f/n), please tell me what’s going on,” he begged. He begged. Your heart jerked. You almost lost it. But then you looked behind your shoulder to see Hanji and Erwin standing in the corner smugly watching you. You felt a sense of dignity rush through you.
“I told you already,” You snapped. He frowned a bit.
“I found this in a shop this afternoon when I was out. It reminded me of you,” He said as he pulled out a small box. He placed it in your hand before walking away. And there was the guilt again.
“What’s in the box?” Hanji said as she bounced towards you. You opened the lid. Inside was a silver chain with a small (fav. color) gem as the pennant. You pulled it out of the box and placed it around your neck and shoved it in your shirt so Levi wouldn’t see you wearing it.
“Can that count?” you asked.
“Depends on when he bought that. If he was planning on giving it to you before this morning then it didn’t count,” Erwin said.
“He said he got it this afternoon. I was already being a bitch then. Can I go apologize now?”
“Um… No,” Hanji said, “I need to see him beg,”
“That’s cruel, even for you,” You shot. She just shrugged in response.
“I need to see him beg or I’m not giving you the cash,”
“Ugh. Fine,”


Encounter #5
Dinner finally rolled around and you couldn’t wait to eat. After the meeting you had sent to help break in the new recruits. You had finally met the Titan Boy too. And after all that meaness to Levi, you were famished. When you walked into the mess hall, Levi had already gotten you a tray of steaming food and was sitting at the table. You muttered a thanks and attacked the meal. Out of the corner of your eye you noticed that Levi was barely eating his food.
Eventually he turned to you and spoke, “(f/n) I don’t know what the hell I did wrong but please forgive me. I’ll never do it again, I swear. Just please, please talk to me again. I can’t deal with the ignoring anymore.”  Hanji’s jaw dropped and Erwin looked dumbstruck. Levi got up from the table and left the mess hall.
“Pay up, losers,” You beamed.
“I’ll give it to you tomorrow, I’ve got to go to the bank,” Hanji grumbled.


You took off down the hall and burst into the your room. Levi was moping on the bed and he stood up when you enter. You practically tackled him. He kissed you and you kissed right back and the two of you hugged for awhile before any of you spoke.
“Mind telling me what the hell went on today now?” he asked quietly.
“Hanji, Erwin, and me had a bet that by me being a bitch I could get you to beg to me for attention,” you smiled smugly.
“How much did you get?”
You leaned over and whispered the amount in his ear.
“Holy shit.”
I back!!!

Idk how this came out. It just kinda happened. Anyways, enjoy my odd fluffy crack fic.
