A/N: Hello friends, because I'm so pumped up making this fanfic, I really made it to the point of updating it every week. HAHA! Because I love this story! That I even updated this a bit faster than Switched Bodies soo ahoy! I'm glad that you're loving this story as much as I do. I'm happy that you're reviewing it that it made my heart fluff from the lovely comments that you're writing.
I know I'm making the story slow on rivamika phase, but who cares? We wanted more love and hate thingy on his couple. So rate and review :) and if you wanna tell me more of suggestions, I'm very much open for it :)
For faster updates, tell me what you have in mind and review :)
When we finally hit our condominium, I immediately opened his car door without waiting for him to say anything. It's not that I don't want to say thank you for driving him home but, because he rather pissed me off my insulting me, well, I don't think that he really deserved my gratitude.
Who cares by the way?
I hasten my every steps and carefully not looking back. I didn't want him to follow me though, but I think for sure he will because this place has only one elevator and chances are.. we can actually bump each other on that freakin ride. This night was supposed to be beautiful, but that freakin Shorty ruined all the things that glitter on my head with just one comment. Ughh, I think I really need a night out.
I made a quick side glances on the hallway before finally advancing my steps on the elevator. I was about to hit the button for going up, when in an instant, a slim arm brushed away mine the sends me to look who was this rude guy at the moment and realized that it was Shorty after all.
"Thank you?" He smirked, not actually looking at my direction, but I was 100 percent sure that he was right there teasing me.
That phrase of him really boiled me up for wanting to kick some nice ass tonight, and I bet that if only Levi will offer himself, there will be no second thoughts because right now, I wanted to punch his face and throw him outside.
I don't know what will be the good response on this one since he was right on the track teasing me, and I don't understand why this man even bothered talking to me. Do I look like I ever wanted to have some conversation at him?
And this time, he was asking for my gratitude, like hell I'm giving him.
"Is this some kind of a joke?" I muttered, still not looking on his direction as well.
"What joke? You know Ackerman, that I'm literally poor at jokes." He looked at me, and this time he was staring at my lips. I don't know why his stare was killing me, or just it sends some nerves up to my spine. His blue eyes are the ones to blame at this.
I twitched my lips, and saw that he just nodded his head before the elevator angel came to rescue me from this very awkward situation.
The operator asked us if what floor we are going to when Levi interrupted her, "32th floor..."
Then it hit me that we are actually floor mates.
"How about you Miss?" The operator turns to ask me this time.
Sending Levi another famous glare on mine, I said huskily "Same, 32th..." I crossed my arms in my chest, when I saw Levi grinned on me,
"This is really funny..." he said softly and covered his face with his hands when I saw him muffled a low laugh that I don't even know why was he even laughing.
This situation is getting out of bounce. Not because he was actually laughing all by himself on the entire ride, but I think that it has something to do with me. If only there was a transporter over here, I will gladly use it to escape from this stupid situation that Levi was giving me.
Or maybe he was getting insane?
The operator looked at him curiously. I can saw from her face that she too was having a deep though whether Levi was going crazy for actually laughing all of a sudden.
When Levi saw us staring at him dumbfounded, he just merely said in defense, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking some funny tonight... and this Miss Ackerman was giving me of." He winced
My brows burrowed in confusion, "What the-" I glanced at him when he suddenly looked up on me. His beautiful intense blue eyes were on mine again, like he was going to say something.
"You're so filthy."
"Excuse me?" I battered a glare at him, still unable to say anything from his sudden comment.
"I said that you're filthy." He said again. But this time, he was clearly emphasizing the word filthy that I don't even know why he had this disgusted tone on his voice.
"What the hell?" I suddenly muttered. Not liking his tone much like he was some sort of an arrogant bastard who can comment on whatever he wants without analyzing or realizing people thoughts or feelings.
He eyed me again, looking from my upper blouse up to the bottom of my pants and he smirked, "Really how do you look now?"
Then it hit me. I looked on my dirty outfit that sprawled on my dress because of the pathetic van awhile ago. I said nothing to him, ignoring his rude comments then...
*ting*
Finally, we are on our stupid floor, the 32nd.
He was the first one to come out then I followed him after. When I walked through my front door, he was still walking beside me like he was going to say anything. Then I guess it was the best to cut him out, so I finally faced him, "Why are still following me? You said we were just floor mates and why the hell are you still-" Then I heard a soft click on the door on my left.
He gave me a stoic smile and said, "Following you? Why in the world would I do that?" Then he pointed the room number on his door before closing it with a bang on my face.
It read 3205.
Damn, this Shorty sure has a lot of nerves!
My room in 3206.
Crap! What the hell?! We aren't just floor mates, we are like so close as neighbors!
I muttered a curse on his door before finally grabbing the cardkey on my purse when suddenly my cell phone rang out of blue. I press the card on the scanner on my door and it clicked open. Grabbing my phone, I heard Eren's voice on the receiver.
"Hey Mikasa…"
"Oh Eren? Why did you call?" I throw my purse of the sofa and proceeded to my kitchen.
"I'm just wondering if my sister was able to get home, because her stupid little brother dated a hot girl right now." He giggled, I can sense that he was just worried and my heart was flattered about his concern. Really Eren was so nice to me; he's like a real brother and a family after all.
"Of course I am! I had this rude neighbor who gave me a ride from the bar." I chuckled and careful not to spill any Levi incident on him.
"Rude? I don't think that you have that kind of neighbors?" He said and had a worried tone on his voice.
"Actually I do have, and I didn't know that he used to live beside my room..."
"Oh... do we have to report him?" Eren's voice becoming serious now, like how he was going to react when he found out that the person that I'm referring to was his band's vocalist.
"Thanks Eren, but I think I can handle him.. And besides...-"
There's a sudden knock on the door, I quickly moved forward to see on the detector on who was the person knocking. I don't know that even up to this hour, someone would visit me. When I move the blinds a bit, I saw a familiar figure that was moving casually on the screen. Hold and behold, it's the freaking Shorty.
What will he be going to do this time?
I pressed the combination for the door to unlock, and when it did, I muttered something "Well, speaking of rude..."
Then I heard Eren saying "What? Who's rude?"
I opened up the door and it revealed the Shorty waiting for me.
"Hey, now what?" I glared at him.
When I eyes drifted on his features, my heart skipped a bit. Now he was on his loose pants and with a muscle shirt on top revealing his every muscle that was hiding on that thin clothing. I never thought that this Shorty was really something. And his hair was sprawled like a mess that looked very sexy on him. I need air! I need to control myself.
"What are you staring at?" Levi said under his breath, eyeing me like he wanted to eat me in an instant. Was it rude to stare?
My mind went back from the reality when I heard his icy tone again. "Nothing… I just thought you need some-" I gasped, he interrupted me by saying, "Do you have that damn can opener?" He said in a rude manner. It was merely a demand, or more specifically an order.
I can see from his face that he was having a sweat just by asking me this kind of stuff. I started laughing when my voice tingled from the room that I nearly forgot that I didn't hang up Eren on the other line, and still Levi was asking his demand on me.
He looked at me very suspiciously, "Why are you laughing?" sending me an indirect message to stop me.
Oh my, this is the happiest part of my night! I actually joked a curse in front of his door hoping that either something essential to him will broke. And right now, he was standing in front of me and asking if I have a can opener?
Maybe right now, it's time for my revenge.
I realized that I was laughing like an idiot in front of him, and rather he was pissed off because up to now I didn't get to answer his question.
I calmed down for a bit and let a small cough escape from my lips, "I'm sorry I don't have, I mean my can opener broke yesterday..." I tried to keep my face stoic, but when I saw his pissed off face, I started laughing again covering my face with my hands and I started to close the door behind his face.
I'm pretty bad at lying to be honest.
When I was about to close it, he stopped me by placing his hand on the knob.
"You know what Ackerman, I never thought that you are a pretty liar!" He glared at me, and he opened the door wide enough for him to enter my door.
What the hell? What was he doing on my room? Barging in whenever he wants? And why am I letting him doing what he wants?
He walked through my door and started darting on my kitchen, and he grabbed the can opener right on the shelf. Looking at him, he uttered, "I know that you have, so please stop lying in front of me. Because whatever you do you're not going to fool me." He said coldly, and without stopping right in front of me, he placed his hand on one of my counter tops and carefully smudged his hand on its corners.
When I know that it left dirt on his hands, he looked at me.
"Is this even a house Mikasa? Or is it a pig's house?" He said it and clearly emphasizing the word pig.
Ouch. Just what he just said?
"Hey Levi, don't you think that you're out of the line?" I shouted loud enough so that he can hear my words directly.
He didn't say anything but he just twitched his head, still observing my whole kitchen like he was inspectioning something.
And I can hear Eren's voice on the receiver saying, "Whoa, are you saying that Levi was there?"
As much as I love to speak now to Eren, it seems that I will love to knock out this stupid bastard first before anything else.
"Get out of this fucking room right now..." I kept my voice low, and you can tell that my voice was becoming harsh now.
"Right, that's what I'm going to do in the first place... thanks for reminding me…" he said very placidly, and turned around and slowly walked away from me and from my room.
"Freaking Shorty!" I shouted out to tease him. But I heard him say "Freaking Filthy!" On the back of my door.
"Damn! Why was he always like being that?" I muttered, and finally I pushed the loud speaker option on my phone.
"Oi! Mikasa…" Eren's voice was on my ear again.
"What now?" I calmed myself for a bit, waiting for Eren to say that he was hanging up.
"Err was that Levi?" He asked curiously and I can tell an apologetic tone on his voice.
"Right, who else by the way? And he was the Mr. Rude guy that I was telling you earlier, and I never understand why he was always being a bastard! A freaking bastard into my eyes!"
"Really? Why in the world he will barge in your place Mikasa?" He asked curiously, and somehow Eren was having weird thoughts about me now. When I didn't respond, he slowly added, "Oh I see, but you know that Levi was really that guy." He pointed out, then he added, "And hell yeah, did I told you that he was a clean freak?" He giggled.
"A what? Clean freak? What the hell is wrong with that guy? I mean, when he drove me home, he was really pissed off because my dress was full of mud, like aghhhh! The way he looked at me, it feels like I did a really horrible thing at the sight of him.. and now what? Now I know now… because he's just a freaking clean freak!" I shouted at the top of my voice like I'm imagining that I was saying all this things on Levi. It's like I wanted to pour out my very problems to Eren because he knows Levi well enough that somehow we can never mix in.
"Hey Mikasa, calm down for a second, I'm not Levi by the way…" Eren joked.
"Gosh, I'm sorry Eren, it's because you know that just a mere mention of his name right now really wants me to kill somebody.."
"Oh boy… this is not good.." Eren sighed.
"Why is that?" I inquired him.
"Because I asked Levi to choose the room beside yours… just to make sure that your always safe." Eren finally admitted, and I can tell from his voice that he was really apologetic. But I cannot hide the fact the even asked the bastard to choose the room beside me. What a world!
"What the hell-"
Then the lights went out and the room was completely dark.
Oh man, even though everyone called me the woman of courage, there is one thing that I'm really afraid since childhood, the darkness.
"Hey, Eren?" I called into him hoping that he was still there on the other line. But now it seems that the lightning corrupted the signals.
"Damn!" I muttered, while I started searching for the nearest lighter on the shelf. I kept my phone lighted until I found the lighter, but when I did, my phone went dead. "Am I really in a bad luck right now?"
Then a very familiar voice came on a sudden. The really annoying one.
"You are really a bad luck."
"Huh?" I turned to look at him, even though I can only feel the man beside me, his shadow was the only thing that I'm seeing right on the moment. When I saw a small figure coming on my way, I just wanted to walk away in an instant, because it was a short shadow. It was the clean freak Shorty!
He turned me around and grabbing my waist, "Your annoying brother said that you, are afraid of the dark." He tipped his head, even though I can just feel his breath on closer to my neck.
"What? Eren said that?" I asked him softly, letting him guide me towards the door.
"Good thing that you didn't lock that damned door." Levi murmured, he was still on the same outfit just when I saw him awhile ago.
His lean body was close to mine, and I can feel his intensity over mine. The feeling of heat and oh yeah hot. But well he's a freaking Shorty and a bastard so… I will not.
"Your noisy brother said that I will just help you get out of your room and then-"
His phone rang.
I can only hear him saying, "Oh yeah, I think... she's safe." Then he looked at me again, before opening the door on the way on the hallway. Thank God that there is a light already.
"Ahhh.. finally." I hear Levi muttered the he simply let go of me, and he continued to roam his eyes around my dress.
"Ahh really? You're still not changing that pathetic dress?" He teased, and then he grinned while he toyed the hem of his shirt.
I didn't answer his retort. Because I know if I fired him up with my words, he will just ignore it and pretended that I didn't said anything. Nonetheless, I will just ignore him. Always.
"Wait. Don't you think that it's kind of weird Ackerman that the lights were up already, I mean in the hallway and on my room.." He kicked his door, "but how come that your room was still not?" He added.
Then it hit me. I drifted my eyes on my damn dark room, only to find out that he was correct. I know for a fact that I left the lights open and now what the hell is wrong with my room?
"Oh shit…" I face palm in front of him. I realized that my room here was some sort of a problematic one. The electricity was kind of weird only in my room.
"What? Does it happen always? Hmm, seems that you are truly a bad luck."
I try to ignore him and dialed Eren's number on my phone, when all of a sudden, the battery went dead.
Crap. Why in all those times.. Why did it have to be on this day? I'm freaking tired, and now I'm facing this pathetic bastard who loves to pull the trigger around my neck.
"I guess that's my role for today.. and finally I can-" He gave me a final glance and he headed for his door and-
Damn, do I need to ask help from this bastard?
"Levi wait!" I held onto his door, slipping my hand on the handle.
His head appeared on the small space on the door.
"What now? Filthy girl?" He asked, and his face was rather annoyed on my sudden calling.
Oh good, and now he's into calling names again. And now I do received his favorite name from a clean freak bastard like him.
Before answering him, I inhaled and exhaled for 5 seconds. "Can you please let me stay?" I wanted to puke by just only saying 'can' in front of him.
He was surprised by my action, and started at me for awhile before responding, "Ahuh, not happening. Bye!" He banged the door loud enough that it echoed on the hallway.
No, I'm never going to let this happen, especially when my phone was dead.
I will do this, even if it will cause me shame just for this man. I stood up on his doorway again, I breathe heavily, hoping that as soon as I knock, he will open up, but well, I know Levi wants me to suffer so.. What the hell?!
"HEY LEVI OPEN UP!" I knocked on his door without my intervals, banging his door to loud.
There was still no response. I'm thinking that Levi were just pretending not hearing me... such a dumbass!
"OI, LEVI" I said forcefully, and I shouted as long as my voice can reach.
To my surprise, the door opened slightly. And Levi came into the view, "Oi, it's not happening." He said straightly, and then he threw something towards me.
Flashlight.
"A flashlight?" I asked in disbelief, sending him another famous glare of mine.
"Yeah.. because I don't want you inside.. then I guess that can help you. So goodnight." He quickly closed the door, but when he did, I immediately caught up then door.
"Please Levi, just let me stay…" I gulped, waiting for his verdict of he will let me in or not.
"No…" he was pushing the door on my face so that I can let go off his door. But I want do tease him more.
"Not happening.." I whispered, while I pulled the door wide enough so that I can come in.
"What are you brat?" He increased the pressure and he pressed himself hard on the door.
"No Levi.. I mean just let me in… I promise I will clean your place..!" I asked desperately, and then realized that I just said a curse.
This is bad.. really really bad!
"Now what did you just say?" He said and stared at me for a minute.
Oh crap, I didn't say that I was going clean his place?
"What I really meant was.. I promise that I will not be a mess on your house.. Plus, I will not tease you anymore..." I bit my lip.
No? Did I actually say those words?
"Tease me? What the hell?!" He retorted, still he was on the door pressing himself so that he can guard it on my sudden action.
"I will not call you Shorty.."
"Tch.."
"And also Mr. Clean Freak.." I covered my mouth with my hand. I didn't expect myself to say that. It was just a sudden, moreover an automatic response.
"Really? Did you just call me that?" He raised his eyebrow then he opened the door this time.
My inner Mikasa was happy because finally he let me in. And you know, I'm a bit excited because for all we know, I will be going inside his home. I mean, the superstar's lair. But in fact, the only purpose of that is.. to charge my phone.
Nothing more, nothing less.
"I don't know what to say…" I bowed my head before him, expecting his to say like, 'it's alright' but of course it's not going to happen because we are talking about Levi here.
"Tch, just don't do stupid things…"
"Aye."
