"I knew she would have been a bit flustered knowing I slept next to her but for the first time in a long period of time, I didn't care..."
-Mikasa's POV-
I woke up to my alarm and my eyes fluttered open, I felt my body against something warm. I looked up and saw a peaceful Levi waking up, wait..Levi..LEVI! My eyes shot open and I jumped out of the bed. "Why are you on my bed you psychopath!?" I asked, "Tch, stop yelling brat, your annoying voice is banging my head." he grumbled. I could feel my cheeks getting hot again, oh lord this again. I noticed I was still in the dress I was wearing yesterday and my hair was a bit of a mess, I noticed band aids on my ankles and my wrists, I didn't remember patching them up. I look up at Levi, "Hey Levi..did you band aid my ankles and wrists...?" I asked, "Tch of course I did brat" I got in reply, he stood up "So, are they ok?" he asked. "Yes...thank you" I answered.
He nodded and started his morning routine, he started making some tea, and I went to my wardrobe and got my school uniform. I hit the shower first and got ready, I observed his tea making before he added scalding hot water, with 1-2 teabags I'm guessing depending on the subtle flavors. I memorized them all, he added 2 for jasmine, 1 lavender, 1 black, 2 green tea, 1 lemon and even if mint has a strong flavor he adds 2. I do know how to make tea, yes but watching Levi make tea almost was magical. I've never seen anyone so obsessed with tea, he even has his own tea collection book.
I got back to the dorm right after school, today was my first actual day of work that's not a fill in for one of the employees. I got my wallet, phone, and dorm key like usual, and drove to the next town. Levi told me he was going to be out looking for a job today, I didn't think it would be hard but then again he might be in the same situation as me later on. I got in my car and drove over to the maid cafe, the place was pretty packed like usual.
I went through the back, we had to go in from the back which led to the dressing room so the bosses wouldn't see us. I don't like to call them masters, that's a no for me. But, I gotta do what I need to do to provide for myself and the people I care about. I saw Annie in the break room, she still had her cold stare on her face. I ignored it and just gave a small wave, I got into the uniform pretty quickly, I checked the mirror to make sure I looked alright.
I then went to the front of the cafe and scanned the building to see if anyone seemed to be looking for a waitress. I saw a couple, a brunette and a blonde, I walked over to them. "Hello m'lady and master anything I could get you started for today?" I asked. I heard that couples, especially the girls could be a bit aggressive but thankfully the lady was nice and her name was Meredith, she ordered a cat latte with an almond muffin and the man ordered some blueberry crepes with pineapple slices an powdered sugar.
I told the chef what they had ordered and their table, I looked over at the pianist, and saw he struggled a bit with hitting the right notes, he also looked stressed. I almost felt sympathetic for him...almost, I brought my attention back to the cafe. "Hello master, what would you like today?" I asked, "I would like a moe moe omelet please" honestly he looked really kind with his brown eyes so I felt more comfortable talking to him. I nodded "One moe moe omelet coming soon master" I replied and left. I found Christa serving the couple their food and I got to the chefs again, and it went like that for the rest of the day.
"Mikasa!! Could you take out the trash sweetie?!" the manager asked from across the room. "Yeah, sure" I replied. Today wasn't a trash day so the trash can was in the back alleyway. I got the heavy black trash bag and got out the back door, Annie had already left a few hours ago. It was 8:00 p.m by now and the cafe was closed. I heaved the bag over my shoulder and dropped it near the trash cans. I felt really tired and I just wanted to go shower and rest for a bit, I hated the idea of people I know seeing me like this. I saw a shadow looming over me "Ackerman?", fuck.my.life.
I recognized that blunt, tired, voice way too much. I looked up to meet his grey eyes glimmering in the moonlight. I sighed "dammit" I muttered, "You work here or something Ackerman?" he asked. "Tch, yes" I replied. He smirked, of course he did. Ugh... why today, wait-now that he knows is he gonna tell everyone?? There was a silence between us, "C'mon Ackerman, it's late, let's head back to the dorms." he said. I nodded, "alright" I opened the door to the cafe again and gestured him to get in, I walked inside after him.
"Ooooh Mikasa is that your boyfriend?" Christa asked, "W-what? No, most definitely not." I replied. *Sigh* "I'll be back" I said, I walked to the dressing rooms and took off my corset, phew I could finally breathe again. I was in a silk white blouse underneath, I put on my black jeans underneath my skirt, I took off my apron and clipped off my skirt. I was about to change into my white sweater but as I was taking off my blouse I looked over to the side.."OMFG WHAT THE HELL?!" I saw Levi looking at me from the end of the row of lockers, "Ack sorry" he muttered and left. If I even blinked for a second I would've missed the bright red that was painted on his face. It was the first time that I saw him flustered, I continued changing double checking to see nobody was watching me. I finished and walked out of the dressing rooms, I saw that Christa and Petra were giggling about something while cleaning up and the manager had supposedly left. I saw Levi waiting for me by the menu probably looking at the tea category.
"Lance corporal, let's go" I said, he nodded and we both walked to my car. It was 8:32 right now and I did my homework during my breaks. All I had left was to finish my chemistry essay conclusion and I'd be done. We got back to our dorm in silence, I could tell Levi was a bit shocked about my job, I was worried if he would tell everyone though. I tried to ignore it and just took a hot shower. I came out with a white, oversized t-shirt lined with black stripes.
I came out wearing a oversized white t-shirt, and black shorts with black thigh high socks. I honestly loved wearing thigh high socks since they were comfortable, wearable, and they kept me warm enough for this weather. I put my hair in a bun and walked out of the bathroom.
I saw Levi cleaning the windows, but I also noticed some tea bags on the counter top. I got the teapot and boiled some water in it. After it finished boiling, I plopped in the teabags and let is sit for a few minutes. I sat down on my desk with my computer and finished up my essay, I saved it to my computer, downloaded a copy, and submitted the assignment. I then got up from my chair to check on the teapot. Levi was quiet ever since we came back and I wondered why, was it because of the situation at the maid cafe?
Whatever it was I didn't like it. He was a pain in the ass sometimes but I enjoyed his company. Levi was dusting the carpet while I continued to finish making the tea. I got a teacup and poured some in, I blowed on the tea gently before I took a small sip of it. Mmm, jasmine tea, I enjoyed the floral taste on my tastebuds. I decided to observe Levi to try to see what was keeping him quiet. I finally saw it, he was wearing earbuds and- wait are those MY earbuds?
How did I not notice before? Does this man even consider asking me if he can borrow or take my stuff. I walked over to him and snatched my earbuds out of his ear. "Tch brat what is your problem?" he asked, "My problem is you taking my stuff" I glared at him. "Just because your my corporal doesn't mean you get to take my stuff without asking! Even if your my superior please mind your manners!" I firmly said.
"You're a bit of a hypocrite don't you think? Tch, you didn't tell anyone about your new job." he replied. "Of course I told SOMEONE,I told Sasha and Hanji." I said. "I'm guessing you weren't planning to" he said as he smirked. "Of course I didn't I have dignity you know" I replied. He sighed, "Well this place is filthy, go clean." he tossed me the broom. Tch he has the audacity to order me around right now. I thought in my head, I angrily swept the whole room and of course he did nothing but just watch me. I was finally done cleaning for his taste and it was 10:02 p.m by then. I sat on my bed and checked my phone for anything new. I saw that Hanji had texted me
Hanji: Sooooo? How did last night go with Levi? Me and Sasha really wanna know.
I rolled my eyes and went to my manager's chat
Manager Sakura: Hi Mikasa! Sorry for the short notice but I forgot to tell you that but tomorrow is little sister day. You basically call the customers onii-chan or shisuta. I'll explain everything when you come to the cafe tomorrow. See you tomorrow! <3
I read the text and felt worried, I was Eren's younger adoptive sister but I never called him stuff like "Onii-chan" or "Shisuta" (Meaning brother or sister)*sigh* oh well. I'm going to bed, I'm really tired, luckily it's the weekends. I hope that Levi doesn't bother me then..
