Just a heads up that Levi will be a lil OOC in this little story~!

It's 2:38 in the morning so please excuse any errors

Warning: Cursing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The thumping and muffled shouts from upstairs never seemed to end, you never really did decide to question what Hanji was doing in her lab- especially now it sounded like a world war was going on in there. You sat on your bed trying to read, yet the thumping that kept coming from your ceiling never seemed to stop. It sounded like she was throwing chairs about or bouncing a lot of balls against the floor on purpose.

Eyebrows knitting together in annoyance you inwardly growled and snapped your book shut before setting it aside, hopping off the covers of your bed you stomped to the door not even bothering to get your Scout jacket since you were only going upstairs to find out what the commotion was about. Shutting the door behind you, you trudged towards the staircase leading to all three floors of the Scouts HQ. The clicking of your heels from the boots against the stone stairs echoed somewhat up and down it like a spiral. As you arrived on the third floor you could see Hanji's laboratory door opened a tad bit, light seeping through into the corridor from her window elsewhere in the room.

That's when you realized that it seemed like she was trying to reason with someone, she seemed like she was pleading for someone not to leave the room. Another crash sounded in your ears as you marched towards her lab, arriving at the already opened door you peered into the room. Hanji stood with her arms out towards Levi who was scowling at her, a book raised in his hand as if he were to throw it at her. "You idiot! I still didn't even agree to become your lab rat yet you spike my tea with some shit!?" He shouted to her as she waved her arms about, glasses shimmering in the reflection of the sunlight "I knew you wouldn't have agreed anyways shorty but I needed someone and you were the perfect asset! Turns out it didn't work but just for the safety of everyone! Just don't leave this room I'm still not sure of the side effects or behavioural effects" she screeched in a panicked tone.

"Uhm.. Is everything alright here? I heard the commotion from downstairs?" You asked stepping into the room.

Both heads snapped in your direction, Hanji gulped and smiled in an uncertain way before scratching the back of her neck and nodding silently. Levi's face exploded in a crimson before he gulped, the thud of the hard book hitting the floorboards suddenly became the only sound in the lab. "I was just talking with Lev-" "Why everything is fine princess, what's your name?" Levi suddenly piped, as your eyes widened a fraction. You were pretty sure Levi knew you from how much time you spent together and talked- Hanji's jaw dropped at his sudden behaviour change before she dove for her notepad.

"Captain? Don't you remember m-me? It's me.. F/N" you told the man who tilted a thin brow, fixing up his jacket somewhat before he waltzed towards you, swaying hips with a suggestive smirk. Levi looked you up and down before blinking and walking around you as if he were examining you, looking to Hanji with a worried expression she caught your gaze and bit her lip mouthing a 'don't worry'. Levi had appeared in front of you again, that impish smirk before he softly took your hand and pressed a kiss to your knuckles "F/N... I believe we haven't met before but you have such a beautiful name along with the looks of a goddess- gorgeous." He lulled before peppering your knuckles again with kisses.

Your face exploded in a blush, blinking from surprise you felt your breath hitch in your throat. Hanji seemed to notice you suddenly freeze and butt in "shorty has a crush! Anyways! F/N I have papers here to deliver to the Commander! Seeing as you need to get going you don't mind doing me a favour?" She said whipping out blank sheets that were supposed to be 'paperwork' for Erwin. Mentally praising the scientist you nodded, taking the papers while muttering a quiet thanks before darting to the door in a speedy walk. Yet you were stopped by the same short-tempered corporal who leaned against the doorway. Standing up properly Levi eyed you again "Four eyes you shouldn't work her too hard, poor thing, let me help you and maybe we can get to kno-"

Oh he's definitely not okay.

"No thank you sir! I'll survive! Have a good evening!" You hastily chirp before slipping under his arm as he tried to block your escape, hurrying down the corridor towards the staircase, the dreading sound of boots following behind you made your heart thump in your chest as Levi rounded you, a saddened expression on his face. "F/N I am so sorry for saying that, it was wrong of me, I shouldn't dare ever say that to you but I can't help but want to help a beautiful woman- I just wanted to help" he tried to explain as you sent him a side glance from the corner of your eye.

He was getting attached quickly to you, you didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing at this point considering the attraction you felt towards him.

"Captain it's fine, don't worry about it just go back to Hanji and she'll help you out with whatever happened" you try and pry him to leave you be as you both go down the staircase. "Love I'm not leaving you by yourself- We may be in HQ but I don't trust some idiots to not stay out of your personal space and irritate you" Levi says looking ahead of you both before returning his hues to you. "I can handle myself sir-" "Please, I promise I won't do anything- if anything, the least I can do is ask you out for dinner? I'm not letting this opportunity pass me" Levi continues as you take in a deep breath, arriving outside your room.

"Listen, Captain, no offence but whatever Hanji put in your tea is making you act weird- you're not yourself and I'm not going to let you make a fool of yourself" you try and turn him down by saying the truth, Levi's expression falls to a disappointed one. "But I'm still the same man.. I'm Humanities Strongest! How could you not like the possibility of your husband being named that?" Levi babbled as you try your best to maintain your patience with him instead of telling him to piss off. "I want to court you.. Treat you like no other man did.. Love you like you never were before.." "Sir less then ten minutes ago you were asking who I was now if you'll please excuse me, I'm going to go and read. Once again. Have. A. Good. Evening." You shot him a disapproved look before going into your bedroom and shutting the door, locking it in case he tried to get in and continue to preach about his newly found adoration for you.

// Time Skip - Dinner \Hanji's P.O.V

I watched F/N eat with her friends, I decided to keep an eye on both her and Levi after what happened- right now he was currently sitting next to me sipping his tea looking at her again. Erwin and the others had noticed shorty's change in behaviour but so far nobody had said anything.

"Levi, why are you staring at the cadets?" Erwin finally started, I gulped and averted all eye contact with either of the males as Levi lifted the cup away from his lips. Sending a glimpse to the blonde commander Levi sighed and sat back in his seat. "I'm not staring at the cadets- I'm simply watching them... Watching her.. Just so she's alright.." He drifted off as Erwin raised a brow, Miche leaned towards shorty and sniffed him briefly before taking a bite of his bread.

"Hanji used a potion on him."

That rat-!

"Hanji what did you do this time?" Erwin droned as I sheepishly giggled to him. "Well I kinda spiked Levi's tea with some new mixture I randomly came up with in hopes it will make him taller because I was wondering how tall Levi would look then he lost his shot after he found out and F/N appeared seeing a what was happening now leading to Levi fawning over her for no now" I quickly explain feeling Levi flick the side of my head making me wince. "But she's gorgeous.. Someday my wife" he commented narrowing his eyes towards the males at the table where F/N sat.

"How long will this last?" Erwin asked in a bored tone, I hummed and tapped my chin remembering doing the cure for it. "It should wear off in an hour or so-" "Meaning I won't be madly in love with such a perfect woman anymore? As much as I hate you right now four eyes, I never thought I'd fall for F/N" Levi cut in as I rolled my eyes. "You're only saying it because of the potion shorty, don't worry you'll be back to normal in no time!" I grin and pat his back as Erwin looks over to F/N for a second. "Yeah and when you're both done I'd expect the two of you to apologise to the girl for most likely traumatizing her" Erwin adds in as I look down to my lap and nod, not hearing anything from Levi I look to where he is only to see an empty seat. Even his tea was gone too.

3rd Person P.O.V

You were sitting and chatting with your friends, laughing at some jokes tossed about too until the table suddenly went dead silent, the sound of a chair being pulled from right next to you caused you to look to whoever was joining you- only to see Levi sit down with his tea and rest his arm at the back of your chair.

"S-Sir?" Eren stuttered as Levi glared at him before looking to each individual, sending a wink your way lastly. "What? Just because I arrive you all quieten down? Tch" he sips his tea as chatter subtly begins up again at your table, yet you feel so nervous. Why was he here? When would that damn potion wear off?

"Hey, you alright honey?" Levi asked earning a few odd looks from your friends as you frowned subconsciously. "Captain, don't call me that unless you want the commander after you for pulling off this shit" you grumbled making Levi fall silent, thankfully he stayed silent for the entirety of dinner after all.

// Time Skip - 2 Hours After Potion Weared Off \

"Now, what do you both have to say to F/N?" Erwin said from behind his desk, Hanji muttered a sorry for causing the event in the first place and Levi apologized for acting that way towards you and trying to stick to you like a leech. "F/N, if these two give you any trouble come to me, you're all dismissed" the blonde concluded, as if he were scolding his children who broke the rules. You never wanted to leave more than ever, making your way out to the corridor you hoped to avoid the pair as much as possible seeing how awkward it was in Erwin's office. You were upset for the fact that your and Levi's 'connection' might possibly be ruined but after all you did still fancy him after what happened but you couldn't exactly blame him because it wasn't his fault.

"F/N, do you have a minute?"

I really don't have the energy for this right now..

Shoulder slumping a little you turned to face Levi who walked to you with a disappointed expression. "I'm sorry for that, you didn't deserve that unwanted attention- You'd probably consider me something like those MP pigs from how disgusting I acted, I understand if you don't want to talk at the minute I just needed to apologise personally." He murmured seeing you nod a little, sighing you cast your orbs elsewhere from him. "Apology accepted sir, I know you weren't in the right state of mind from the potion so I don't blame you for anything" you explained in a tired voice as Levi watched you closely "I hope this doesn't ruin what we already got, I'd prefer you to most shitheads here." Levi added as you hum and smile. "You're not too bad yourself, I'm going to sleep anyways~" you sing shortly yawning after. Levi nods somewhat seeing a smirk tug on the edge of your lips as you give him a quick peck on the cheek before leaving.

"Goodnight corporal!"
