His Little Brat. {Levi x Reader}

Just For Tonight. (Boss!Levi x Subcoordinate!Reader)

-Enjoy!-

You tap away at your computer in silence as you work on your latest assignment. For once, you aren't conscious about the tight tugging at your collar nor do you notice how uncomfortable your pencil skirt felt against your thighs. All your concentration was channeled into your work. You were one of the data analysts in the country, and you were working under  investigation unit 7, which was run by Levi Ackerman.

  The age difference between you two was an immense two digit number. However, whenever you were around him, you felt like a little high schooler all over again. Your heart fluttered and your cheeks would threaten to stain your cheeks at any moment. That's probably why he kept his distance from you. It wasn't your fault that you were painfully obvious about your true feelings. However, Levi knew he couldn't get any closer to you, for the sake of your job.

  Well, at least that's what he told himself. He knew that underneath that tough skin of his, he just wanted to spare his feelings if anything were to happen to you. He didn't want to bring danger to you by allowing you to act on the impulse of your heart instead of your head. It might have been okay in a different setting, but with the danger factor in both your jobs, an office romance was the last thing you two could get stuck in.

  You weren't dense. You knew that it was always going to be unrequited love. He would turn you down flat without hesitation if you did confess your feelings. So you kept it within yourself for the time that passed by quickly. Occasionally, you would find your eyes meeting. Even if it was for a brief second, it felt like an eternity. He would hold the gaze for as long as possible, before forcing himself to tear them away back to his work. You never really believed the soppy shit about love being painful, but you were starting to get what those words stood by.

  It was November, the month of transition. You stood outside in the pleasant breeze as you lean over the veranda with a cold can of coffee that numbed your hand. You heaved a small sigh as your heart felt heavy. Maybe you were just tired from working overtime with the case. Your eyes felt strained from staring intensely at your screen. You close them and breath in and another sigh leaks through your lips.

"Oi. If you keep sighing like that, you'll die early." A gruff voice you knew too well resonated from behind you, and your shoulders instantly jump in surprise.

"S-sorry Sir!" You apologize and edge away shyly as he stands beside you with his hand rummaging through his pocket.

"Tch. You look like hell. Have you been eating properly?" He throws a question of concern and you were particularly taken aback.

"Well...yes." You answer hesitantly and instantly regret lying as his grey eyes glare into yours like he could see right through you.

"If you consider a diet of cup noodles and energy drinks "eating proper", you need to re-evaluate your standards." He lights his cigarette swiftly before throwing his chin up slightly.

"Let's go."

  You lift the spoon up to your lips daintily and chew as the flavors disperse in your mouth, making your lips tug up automatically. You didn't realize you were this hungry, and you dig in whole-heartedly.

  Levi sits in front of you with a cup of tea balanced between his fingertips. He takes a sip as he watches you eat. He suppresses a small smile that was begging to be released, as he tried turning his attention elsewhere. He really did feel at peace when he was with you, and at this stage, he really wanted to kiss you. Fate was in his side, as he catches a grain of rice stuck to the corner of your lips. The "clean freak" side wanted to yell at you to eat properly, but another part of him wanted to do something embarrassing.

"God. Eat properly." He mumbles as he leans over before brushing his thumb along your lips.

  He shows you the grain of rice in mild annoyance, and before you would even apologize, he pulls the menu up to hide your faces before pulling your lips to his with his free hand. You were so surprised that you almost pass out, but the sensation of his lips were keeping you sane. Gradually, your eyes flutter shut as your lips move in harmony.

"Blame it all on me, but I want to be with you tonight." You whisper to him as he pulls apart.

"That's my line....brat."
