My Flatmate (flatmate!Levi x Reader) Part 5

As the weekend arrived, you go to your part time job, as usual. Doctor Grisha Yeager employed you in his private clinic as a secretary in reception. Your work includes letting people into his office and trying not to fall asleep.

Today, he has only a few patients so you can nestle yourself comfortably in the chair. At 4 o'clock your boss' son returns from school. He always visits the clinic after his Saturday classes.

“Hello, (Name).” He waves to you entering the waiting room.

“Hi, Eren.” You send him a small smile.

Eren is younger than you – he's in his last year of high school. However, that doesn't make any difference. Despite his age, you still consider him a good friend. His optimism and determination are infectious.

“Where is Mikasa and Armin?” you ask as you yawn. Mikasa and Armin are Eren's friends. Mikasa's parents died when she was nine years old and since then, she has been living in Eren's house under the custody of his parents. Armin is an orphan too but his grandfather takes care of him.

“They went to get some pharmaceuticals for my father,” explains Eren collapsing on the chair next to you. “How was your week?”

You recall the incident from yesterday and fix your eyes onto the floor. “Quite good. I had a few tense situations, but nothing bad happened.”

Eren suddenly bursts into laughter.

“What is it?” you can't help yourself from smiling. He looks so amusing.

“Let me tell you a story from today,” he starts with excited voice. “You won't believe what my classmate said to our biology teacher yesterday!”

Till the end of your job, he entertains you with funny stories from his school life. You can't stop laughing and totally forget about your troubles

“What are you doing?” Levi walks into your small living room holding a cup—with a black tea you suppose—in his right hand.

You glance over your shoulder at him, still sitting cross-legged on a coach. “I wanted to watch a film. Is that a crime?”

He just snorts. You shift your eyes back to the screen. The movie you had chosen begins, when Levi suddenly slumps on the coach beside you. He leans his arms on the back of the sofa making you gulp. You can feel his right hand behind your head. It disturbs you so much, that you can't focus on the movie.

This is ridiculous, crosses your mind. You have no idea what the main character's name is. Ignoring Levi's arm, you fold your arms, clench your hands into fists and put them under your armpits.

It works only for a few minutes.

When you start to understand the film's plot, Levi scratches his nose with his right hand. While putting it back on the couch, he accidentally brushes your ear with his cold fingers.

“You're red,” he points out peeking at you.

“Really?” you grunt, trying to flip your hair to the left side of your face to hide your crimson cheeks.

“Maybe you should take that jumper off,” he prompts not taking his eyes off the TV screen. You ogle him.

Then it occurs to you – Levi can't know that you don't have a T-shirt under the jumper you are wearing. He just suggested taking it off, because he thought that your blushing is the result of overheating.

“I'm not sure if that qualifies as a good idea,” you answer glancing at the dark-haired man.

He raises his eyebrows. “You think it doesn't?”

“Even if it does, it wouldn't solve the problem... Now, excuse me,” you add quickly before he has a chance to ask why. “I want to finish this movie.”

***

“Shitty film,” states Levi when end credits start to appear.

“Yeah, it was terrible,” you agree. “Listen... Do you mind if I use the bathroom?”

He furrows his eyebrows. “On Sundays I'm the first one who uses it.”

You send him a crooked smile. “Please, I need to wake up earlier tomorrow.”

He sighs and stares at you for a moment. You turn your head away embarrassed.

“All right,” he finally nods.

“Thank you.” You quickly run into bedroom, grab your pyjamas and lock yourself in the bathroom.

You take a shower as fast as you can and brush your teeth impatiently. Tomorrow you and Annie are going to college together. You can't waste such an occasion to make a friend by being late.

When you're eventually lying in the warm bed, it's Levi turn to use the bathroom. You listen to the streaming water with closed eyes, trying to fall asleep.

You're just beginning to fall asleep, when your flatmate walks into the bedroom and wakes you up.

“Can you at least explain to me why it was so necessary for you to go to the bathroom first?” He drops himself down onto his bed.

You yawn closing your eyes again. “I'm meeting with my classmate tomorrow and we're going to college together...”

Levi asks you about something else but you can't hear what, because you're already asleep.
