Levi Oneshot
Levi’s pov
It was more troublesome than I thought it would be. This person started off with small notes stuck to the door of my locker, half of the paper almost peeling off. Gradually, I found them on the front as well. As the size of the papers increased, so did the number of notes in general. Taking the elevator to the 20th floor everyday and going down by stairs was already hectic, now I have to deal with some shitty stalker?
All the gifts given to me weren’t accepted, but I did take them home. Only so I could return it all once I found out who this cowardly stalker was. I wouldn’t say I was scared but what troubled me most was that fact that someone would rather follow a person around than study. College isn’t really the place for this.
Currently, I had atleast 4 small rose bouquets filling up my locker with a short letter. How convenient. I picked up the paper and skimmed through it.
“Dear Levi
Have you eaten? How’s your day going. Please do tell me. Anyway I just hope you know how much I adore you. One day, you and I will be TOGETHER. I promise not as bad as it sounds! I wish I could just sit beside you and feed you my home cooked food. It’s the best! I want to feel your soft but strong arms around me.. I want to be with you forever and ever. No one’s gonna take you away from me. I swear.
-Your one and only <3
(I’m in your class by the way !!)”
“Levi Levi! Watchu got there?”
“Stay back four eyes.”
Hange being the person they were put their hand on my face and shoved me away snatching the letter from me. They were never up to any good.
“Ahh! Your secret admirer again. How cute, you ever thought of giving her or him a chance?”
“It’s a her, and no.”
Obviously, I’ve only come here to study and work. Nothing else.
“How do YOU know it’s a her?”
“It was mentioned.”
“Ooh so you remember?”
“Keep your moth shut. Just what are you implying?”
“I can’t answer that if I have my mouth shut!”
They were this close to getting knocked out by me, luckily the bell rang. Hange waved, shoved the letter into my chest and forcefully made me hold it again after snatching it from me.
I had to stay in the hall for at least 15 more minutes. The others including the professor had left by now so I was sitting alone. Not that I minded. I gathered my supplies and neatly placed them into my bag then left.
Bang.
I heard a door at the end of the hall bang as loud as possible. I hated loud noises,people and places. Who would even be here at this time? I walked towards the sound and went behind the wall where my locker was.
“Who’s there?”
Before me, stood a girl atleast an inch tinier than me. She set her eyes on me and didn’t move them throughout. My locker was halfway opened and her arm seemed to be inside. The girl didn’t utter a word.
“Care to explain why your hand is in my locker? You’re aware this is an invasion of privacy. Yes?”
I could have never imagined things getting worse, the paper in her other hand was familiar. Like the letters i had received. Red little hearts and yellow flowers. I didn’t want to assume but I finally reached the conclusion.
“It’s you.”
(2nd person P.O.V)
Seriously, what was happening? You two were finally alone—together just like you wished. But you couldn’t muster up the courage to speak, or even say a word. He so thinks you’re a loser now!! You could feel the redness creeping up your neck. He looked really handsome up close. His cold and mysterious grey eyes could be stared at all day, his neat undercut as well. You’ve always known he had a thing with cleanliness.
“Can you speak or not?” He spoke this time but louder.
You panicked, he was REALLY speaking to you. Say something back!
“I-uh..can..I —very —can and uh much I—“
His eyes narrowed and he raised an eyebrow. You were as good as dead now.
“You know I can report you for ‘stalking’ me right?”
As soon as you heard that word you closed your eyes and made a run for it. Stalking?! Seriously?! You were just being nice and sending gifts! How did he find that creepy?
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
He didn’t even seem to budge but he just quietly walked behind you. You thought he’d maybe walk off, being the person he was but he’s following you?! Who are you kidding you invaded his privacy of course this was going to happen!
You looked down at the flight of stairs below you. 20 floors to go. It wasn’t too different from other days except this time you had to run for your life.
You could feel his hand reaching out for the back of your collar but you slipped away in time and went crashing down.
“Tch, get back here brat.”
A brat?! Is that what you get? Luckily you didn’t fall and continued running while he not so patiently walked behind you. This chase was pointless and embarrassing. At this point you could tell he was purposefully slowing himself down because of how slow you were even while running.
“I’ll catch you easily stalker.”
“You’re really slow.”
“Have you ever considered practising running?”
Unfortunately you found out you couldn’t handle insults and running at the same time causing you to tumble down the stairs and injuring your leg.
“Ow! M-my ..shit..”
”Your shit?”
You could hear Levi’s footsteps approach, they grew louder. And now he was standing on the stairs above right in front of you.
“And you’re clumsy as well, this is painful to watch. Really painful. I might as well be more hurt than you at this moment.”
Did this man enjoy humiliating you?! Why was he being so mean even after all the letters you sent?
“I’m ss..ssorry.. for opening your locker.”
He raised a brow.
“You’re sorry for opening my locker? How about bombarding it with roses, taking up my space, causing more trouble for me and-“
“I’m sorry —I’m sorry for everything !!”
You were stupid enough to try and run off again even with a screwed leg because Levi practically teleported from the top and blocked your way.
“Not so fast, where do you think you’re going?”
“I—..”
You could feel yourself tearing up because of humiliation. It was stupid yeah, but you couldn’t help it. You tried distracting yourself by looking at something else instead of him but the sign that said floor 8 made your tears well even more.
“You can’t write me those inappropriate letters and expect me to let you off the hook.”
Inappropriate ? You never wrote anything inappropriate, more so just about how you wished to be embraced by him.
“I never wrote a-anything like that!”
“Oh yeah? Then what’s this.”
He pulled out a crumpled letter from his pocket which seemed to be written by you some few months ago. He looked at you before clearing his throat and reading.
“Dear Levi, It’s quite shameful and I’m myself embarrassed to admit but I want to feel your—goddamnit just read it yourself.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose and showed you the letter.
“I want to feel your gorgeous lips pressed against mine.”
That was tame! Not even that bad.
“Hold on are you .. crying? You’re a puny girl aren’t you?”
His eyes narrowed again and he put the letter down before crouching and taking a good look at your face.
You didn’t even notice the tears streaming down your face.
“I’m SORRY I just really really really really like you if it wasn’t obvious by now and I wanted to tell you how I felt but I was too scared to s-s-so I decided maybe I should just send you letters so I don’t get rejected but I realised my mistakes and I now know what a STUPID creep I aahaammmm!!”
Your head was in your hands and you continued sobbing.
“Quiet down ! There are still professors around, what is wrong with you?”
“Bw..hah..i just.. I’m sorry!”
“Alright alright I get it! Now shut it!”
Slowly, you felt the footsteps of multiple men approaching. You were guessing they were most probably the janitors.
“You realise we’re not supposed to be in this building anymore. Tch, just causing me more trouble.”
He lifted you up bridal style and ran,sneaking behind the bookshelf. He peered out and made sure the men passed so you two could exit safely.
Now you didn’t regret falling back then, or even this whole interaction. He’s lifting you up. The man of your dreams was lifting you up!
Still, despite this your legs still hurt a lot causing you to make a
.
Certain kind of sound.
“What the hell are you doing?” Levi turned to you looking almost horrified. But you swore you could see his ears turning a light shade of red.
The janitors looked back, exchanged glances and ran away, most probably getting the wrong idea.
“My leg it..”
“Not now sorry. We need to leave now.”
It was a bit embarrassing how you didn’t say anything, it was going to look like you enjoyed being carried!
“Y-you can uhm put me down! I don’t want to cause you more troubl-“
As soon as you spoke your sentence Levi set you down and eyed you.
“Walk then.”
“Hu-“
“Walk.”
You didn’t expect him to listen this easily, maybe he could’ve insisted, he could’ve sounded interested in the slightest then! Your legs twitched as u tried to move. It was no use, you tried a different position and decided you’d crawl down. But before even touching the railing Levi gripped your hand firmly.
“I hate when people like you complain. You very well know you can’t walk in this state, cut the bullshit then.”
You made that stupid crying face again and muttered another apology.
“They’re coming down, we have no time.”
He threw you over his shoulder and almost SLID through the stairs. Looking down, the view of his back up close wasn’t too bad either.
You expected him to leave the building but had no idea where he’d drop you off! Maybe you could give him his address and this would turn into a beautiful love story where he’d start passing by your house and!-
He instead took a turn inside the hallway again and headed towards the nurse’s office.
“W-where?!”
“Infirmary.”
As he slid the doors open, all the nurses looked at you two almost offended as if you interrupted something. Well you did, two were doing their nails and the others were gossiping.
Levi grabbed your waist and set you down on a random bed.
“Take care of her, she fractured her leg.”
The nurses nodded and rushed over to you taking off your shoes.
He glanced one last time at you and instructed.
“I don’t want any gifts from you anymore, keep that in mind.”
——
The next morning you kept thinking about the whole situation. It was a miraculous encounter, it was as if you both were on an adventure or something.
“What’s up [y/n]? You seem extra happy today.” Nanaba walked closer to the lockers, which was where you were.
“Huh? I-I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
Nanaba rolled her eyes and smiled.
“Sure thing. Thinking about your little crush?”
“What?! No!”
She chuckled and opened her locker.
“Pretty sure we have English next, take your books out.”
“Oh right, thanks for telling me.”
Once you swung open your locker, you found your own letters and roses falling on you, spreading everywhere. Nanaba clasped her mouth while you drowned in your gifts.
You brushed all the flowers away as your buddy helped you and took out all the letters one by one.
But one caught your attention, it wasn’t a letter but rather a short note sent by Levi.
“Your RETURN gift, if you can even call it that.”
