Humanity's Strongest' Weakness

Chapter 34

- - Levi POV - -

I found myself staring out the window, staring at the certain h/c head.

Y/n was training outside, and I found myself unable to take my eyes off her.

I scoffed. What am I? A creep? I thought to myself as I brushed my thoughts away.

A knock on my door caught my attention as I stepped away from the window, walking up to my desk.

"Name and business." I called out, waiting for a reply.

There was a pause, a second of silence.

"Levi... It's Petra." I heard Petra's voice from the other side as I clenched my teeth.

"Come in." I said as the door opened and I saw Petra standing outside, a nervous look on her face.

"Levi... you didn't come down for dinner." Petra said as I frowned.

"Did I not?" I asked, not knowing myself as Petra nodded.

"You didn't." She confirmed as I sighed.

"I just have a lot of paperwork. Erwin's making me do a lot of reports." I explained, moving towards my desk.

"What were you doing?" Petra asked as I sunk into my chair, grabbing a stack of papers and a pen.

"Paperwork." I said as Petra walked closer.

"What were you doing before paperwork?" Petra asked as I clenched my fist tightly.

"I've been doing paperwork the entire time." I said as Petra frowned.

"Then what were you doing out your seat?" Petra asked as I couldn't help but slam my hand down onto the desk.

"Can I not take a break, Petra?" I asked, raising my voice slightly as Petra blinked in shock before something hard glinted in her eyes.

"I was just asking Levi. There was no need for you to snap at me!" Petra shouted back as I stood up from my seat.

"Well I'm busy Petra. And you've been doing nothing but distracting me!" I shouted back as Petra glared at me.

"I was trying to check up on you! You've been doing nothing but burying yourself in paperwork! We barely see each other anymore!" Petra shouted as I scowled.

"That's what happens when your in the Scouts. You don't have time." I said as Petra's eyes turned hard.

"Well you could at least try make time!" Petra shouted when the sound of footsteps made us pause.

"I, uh... I think I came at the wrong time..." Y/n muttered, still panting heavily from training.

Petra glared at me a second before looking at Y/n.

"No, it's fine Y/n. I was about to leave anyway." Petra said before turning on her heel and storming out.

Y/n watched her leave as I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Don't... say anything." I said as I heard footsteps, Y/n entering the room as she walked up to me before leaning against the desk.

"You know that's impossible for me." Y/n said as I couldn't help but smile a little.

"So, what happened?" Y/n asked as I sighed.

"It's nothing." I mumbled as Y/n raised an eyebrow at me.

"That didn't look like nothing." Y/n said as I rolled my eyes.

"Come on Levi, you have a problem with your girlfriend and you need to tell me so I can help. How am I meant to help if you don't tell me?" Y/n asked, poking me as I slapped her hand away, not hard though.
