QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 4. Charming Black Sheep Meets Secret Beauty Otaku (Levi x Reader) Chapter 11

Maya caught the binder and returned it in her bag.

"Hey, asshole," you called out in your best grumpy voice. "Didn't your mother teach you some manners? You didn't even greet your senpais."

There were a few giggles and murmurs around the room, but everyone quieted down when Haruto stood straight.

Eyeing him, you said, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere..."

You then snapped your fingers, pretending to have just recognized him. "You're Naruto! From the volleyball team?"

Leviathan looked at you as if to scream, "Have you gone completely insane?"

You don't blame him. In this school, there was a giant rivalry between the volleyball and basketball clubs. This was because their aces had similar personalities. Both were talented in their respective sports, both were popular, and both were egomaniacs.

Haruto gritted his teeth.

But he forced out a smile. "My name is Haruto, actually. I'm the basketball ace."

"Oh. Okay." You then started helping Maya wipe the table.

I can see the smoke pouring out of his nose and ears. Lol.

Maya ignoring him was the first failure in his life. Now you were ignoring him. Haruto, who was literally born a winner in this world, did not react kindly to being treated like air twice.

He turned to Leviathan. "Hey."

Leviathan dropped the paper towel he was using to clean his tablet. "What? Me?"

"You're Leviathan-senpai?"

"Um, yeah."

Haruto grinned. "You're the guy who had to repeat his senior year."

Leviathan hung his head again. "Yeah..."

"I almost didn't recognize you. Man, you lost a lot of weight."

Leviathan sucked in his teeth and gripped the hem of his shirt.

"Good for you, senpai. I was worried that if you got any bigger you wouldn't be able to walk. Haha—"

A pink bento box hit him square on the face and he fell back on the cafeteria floor.

"What the hell?!" He barked, trying to rub the tonkatsu sauce and milk tea-soaked rice out of his eyes.

"You've done nothing but yap all day long. It's starting to get on my nerves" You stepped between him and Leviathan. "Are you an old woman? How can you talk so much crap in one go? Can't you see we're trying to eat?"

[Host, may I remind you that Haruto is a top-performing athlete?]

"Having muscles and being a good fighter are two different things." Sure, Haruto has done nothing but train his body for years, but so what? In addition to playing sports with Maya, you were always out at night combating low lives who carried knives.

Haruto snarled at you. But with spoiled food dripping down his brows, he was more pathetic than scary.

"I don't mind if you wanna go, but Imma warn you right now," you said, cracking your knuckles as you smirked at him, "even if you're the basketball club's flower or whatever, I won't hold back."

Leviathan jumped from his seat and grabbed your elbow. "Have you lost it? You can't fight him! You'll get suspended or worse!"

You unclenched your fists and met Leviathan's gaze without saying anything.

Lines creased his forehead. "What?"

Your smile softened. "You're finally looking at me."

A pause.

A gulp.

"I...you..." Levi pulled back his arms and hid his face behind them.

You chuckled.

[Host, look out!]

You pushed Levi to the side and blocked Haruto's punch.

"Attacking me while I'm having a conversation? Dick move, pal." You snickered as he stared back at you with wide eyes, not expecting you to catch him.

You shoved him and he almost fell down again.

Maya ran to your side, phone in hand. "Are you okay?"

"I'm not so weak that a punch like that can hurt me." You ruffled her hair.

Her shoulders relaxed. "That's good."

A student came running inside with a teacher trailing behind him.

Because this incident involved one of the school's wealthiest benefactors and a major athlete, you were released with a simple, stern warning.

You, Maya and Levi rented a room in the library, where you continued your lecture on Romeo and Juliet. After that was algebra, then chemistry, and lastly, physics.

"Thanks for your help, nii-san!" Maya beamed when you finished.

The library was closing and it was time to go home.

"Maya, you go on ahead of me, I have to use the toilet."

"Okie-dokie."

You were left alone with Levi, who has regressed to avoiding your eyes again, and was soundlessly packing his things.

"Levi."

Silence.

"Chubby."

More silence.

You leaned from behind him and whispered to his ear, "Leviathan."

"EEK!"

Success. You laughed.

He clasped both hands over his crimson ear. "J-jerk!"

"Sorry."

"If you're sorry then why did you do it!"

"You're right, I'm not sorry. I had to do it. You would've continued ignoring me otherwise."

He puffed up his cheeks.

[I can see the tears building up.]

You sighed. "Levi, if what happened bothers you that much, I'll pretend that it didn't."

"What?"

"You can't even look at me without breaking into sweat. As cute as you are, I don't like seeing you have a panic attack whenever I step into a room." You slung your bag over one shoulder. "Besides, it's clearly getting in the way of your studies. We can't have that now, can we?"

He was quiet.

"Oh, and before I go, here." You tossed him a candy.

He caught it with both hands.

"I know it's not obvious, but Maya was worried too. Don't forget to eat your dinner." You turned around. "See you tomorrow."

When he finally lifted his chin, you were already gone.

... I am so happy with the design overhaul for their casual attire in the human realm. Except maybe Satan's. Poor Satan, his clothes always suck. It's a pity, his green eyes and blonde hair are so pretty. (Everything about him is pretty tbh)
