Cutie! (Levi X Shy!Reader, Modern AU) Ch. 10

"[Name]! Levi! Over here!"
You spot Hanji in the crowd, waving her arms around like a mad woman, with a slightly green Erwin next to her.  
A pang of guilt shoots through your stomach, so you reluctantly pull your hand from Levi's and head towards Erwin.  You place a hand on his shoulder and guide him to a nearby bench, and take a seat next to him.  You soothingly rub his shoulder as you shoot a glare at Hanji, who knew she was about to get scolded.
"How many rides did you make him go on?" You ask, unaware of the motherly tone in your voice.
"Uh...like, in total, or just the ones you two were gone for?" She replies to your question with one of her own.  You frown at her and stand up, placing your hands on your hips.
"No more rides."
"But [Naaaame]..."
"No more rides Hanji."
"Aw c'mon! Just one more! Please please please please please please plea-"
You clap a hand over her mouth, desperate to stop her incessant chatter before your headache escalates to a higher level of pain.  
"Fine," you hiss, removing your hand from her mouth before she drools on you. "Go."
"I can't go alone-"
"Don't even." You cut her off.
"I promise I'll stop, just one ride [Name]!"
A worried look crosses your face as you look from Hanji to Levi.  Levi gives you a tiny smirk before sitting next to Erwin, who was still looking somewhat faint, and crosses his legs. "Have fun." He says with a hint of amusement in his voice.
You groan as Hanji hooks her arm around yours and drags you to the ride opposite the bench.  The sign reads 'Scrambler'.
"No, no..." You say quietly as you try to tear away from Hanji, whose iron grip tightened around your arm every time you moved.  

A moment later, it was your time to enter.  Hanji dragged you to an empty carriage and hopped in, then extended her hand to help you up.  You begrudgingly accept her help as you climb in.  Once seated, Hanji pulls the handle bar down onto your laps, and it clicks into place.  
You were terrified.  
You hated these things more than anything, and you mentally slapped yourself in the face for even entering the Carnival.  Hanji looks over at you, a humongous smile plastered onto her face.  Her eyes look behind you, and you turn to see Levi, looking more amused than you've ever seen him, sitting next to an apologetic, but glad, Erwin.  "Huh." You look at Hanji. "I knew he was faking sick.  He doesn't ever get motion sickness."
Your eyes widen. "What?!" You say to Hanji.
"Oh, don't worry [Name], it's funner with you here."
Anger mixed with the feeling of sickness in your stomach.  You turn around again, standing up slightly, with both hands on the back of the seat.  
"You liar!!" You shout at Erwin.  
Suddenly the ride lurches forward, throwing you back into your original sitting position. You quickly grip the handle bar as the ride starts to really move, and the butterflies in your stomach really start.  The car in which you were sitting in turns so you can see Erwin and Levi on their bench, having a laugh attack at your reaction and your expression.  Your grip tightens on the bar as your expression of fear turns to one of animosity.  
"Oh relax [Name], and enjoy the ride!" Hanji laughs.
You turn to look at her, but the wind from the ride tosses your [h/c] hair into your face, blocking your sight.  Your rage is quickly drowned out by the tightness in your throat and the pain in your stomach as the ride spins, and spins, and spins.  You and Hanji are tossed side to side as the speed of the ride picks up.  By the end of it, you are squished against Hanji and shaking beyond belief.  You quickly climb out and so does Hanji, who leads the way back to Levi and Erwin.

Once in front of them again, you quickly clasp your hands together, hoping neither of them would notice the shaking of your hands or the weakness in your knees.  You felt like you were going to faint.  
"Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" Erwin says, placing a hand on your shoulder.  You pout at him and brush his hand away.  He sighs.
"That's [Name] for ya, irrational fear of rides."
"It is not irrational." You snap at Hanji. "Do you know how often those things break down?"
"Calm down." Levi says, a ghost of a smirk still on his face. "Oh, and your hair is a mess."
A blush creeps onto your face as you quickly try to fix your hair.
"What about my hair?" Hanji asks Levi.
"Your hair is always a mess." He replies simply.
She frowns but then exclaims loudly, "I'm hungry! C'mon [Name], let's go get food."
Hanji spins you around and starts pushing you forward before you could object.
"We'll find a table!" Erwin calls out.
"Alright!" Hanji says without turning around.

"So?" Hanji says expectantly.
"What?"
"What's up with you and Levi?"
Your face turns a bright red as you look down at the pavement, making Hanji more and more curious. "[Name], tell me!"
You look at her out of the corner of your eye and bite your lip.  Her look pressures you to tell her and, with a quick glance around the area, you decide to tell her everything after your outing to the mall with them.  But you do decide to leave out a few things.  

By the time you finish, you're almost at the front of the line for food.  
While telling her everything, you finally remember one of the many reasons you two were friends. She was so easy to talk too, and her extrovert personality had a positive effect on your introvert personality, making you, in certain situations, louder and more outgoing.  Ah yes, one of the many reasons you loved her. And also one of the reasons that cancelled out the hatred that you held for her when she threw you into bad and awkward situations.
"I can't believe he did that!" She said, sounding amazed.
"Is it that unusual for him?"
"Yeah kinda-oh! We're at the front!" Hanji steps up to the food truck and starts ordering. Once she finishes, she turns to you.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, uh...nothing."
"You don't want anything?"
"Nope, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Alright," She turns back to the window. "Aaaand...one candy apple please."
You sigh. Hanji knew you loved candy apples, so of course she'd get you one.

Once you finally find Erwin and Levi, you are very grateful. Your legs hurt, your head hurts, and so does everything else on your body. Now, you really wanted to get home. You sit down on the seat opposite Levi, while Hanji sits beside you and in front of Erwin.
"So..." Hanji starts as she hands you your candy apple. You gently place it on the table, not planning on eating it anytime soon. She leans in closer to Levi as she continues, "I heard you kissed [Name]."
He raises an eyebrow then looks over at you.
You turn to Hanji with a look of betrayal on your red face. She just gives you a pleasant smile and opens her mouth to continue, but you interrupt by standing up.
"I-uh," You stammer as you try to think of an excuse to leave. But after a moment of them watching you to see what you do, you turn on your heel and leave without an explanation.  
You don't really know where to go so you sit on a bench by the entrance and start to regret the childish way you handled the situation. 'Maybe walking away wasn't the greatest idea in the world,' You think to yourself. 'But what else was I supposed to do?! Hanji wasn't supposed to say anything-'
You're pulled out of your thoughts as you feel the presence of someone sit next to you. You glance over to see who it is and your eyes widen and your face flushes. You nervously wring out your hands on your lap. A small smirk appears on his face as he watches your distressed figure. After a moment he sighs and stands up. "Come on," Levi offers his hand to you. "I'm taking you home."
Unable to look him in the eye, you take his hand and stand up. You started slipping your hand out of his grasp, but he tightens his grip and pulls you forward through the gates.

~

'Home.' You think as you step into your apartment.
You turn to Levi with a nervous look. "A-are you going to come in?"
"No." He says flatly before turning and walking away, leaving you staring after him. You quietly close your door, then angrily walk to your bed and fall face first onto it.
"Rude..." Was the last thing you said before falling asleep.
