"Hey Tiny! Shorty wants to see you in his office," Hanji said, smiling.
"Don't call me that," you groaned.
"I can't help it! You're just so small! You're the only person I've seen that is shorter than Shorty himself," Hanji exclaimed with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Levi Heichou doesn't appreciate you calling him Shorty either. What if I called you... Four Eyes?!"
Hanji laughed, unfazed by your name calling.
"Ha! Gonna have to come up with better insults if you want to beat Shorty at the name calling!"
"True... You both call each other awful names... Just please leave me out of it, okay?"
"It's too late for that," Hanji ignored your plea, "You're already a part of our squad!"
Hanji spoke cheerfully as she pat you on the back.
"...But Heichou's the captain, so shouldn't you respect him?" You said quietly.
Hanji either ignored your logic or she didn't hear it. She continued to speak happily.
"You better head straight to Shorty's office now. He asked for you like 20 minutes ago, but I just now got around to telling you. My bad!~"
"20 minutes ago?!," you yelled after Hanji as she pranced away in a good mood.
You sighed before heading to Levi's room.
~~~~~
You quietly tapped on the door.
No answer.
'Maybe he didn't hear me?'
You knocked harder.
"Stop that racket and come in!" Levi's piercing voice reverberated around the room.
"Jeez, calm down," you sighed as you opened the door, still a bit frustrated from your earlier encounter with Hanji.
"Tch."
"What's put you in a bad mood?"
"I asked for you 30 minutes ago," Levi growled.
"Well I was busy. What do you want," you asked, covering Hanji's ass for not telling you sooner.
Levi scowled and slowly rose from his office chair. He calmly yet urgently walked past you to the open door and closed it. A slight click was heard, signifying that the door was locked. He then walked around to stand and face you.
"Kiss me," Levi ordered.
You rolled your eyes at Levi's neediness.
You had only been dating for a month and a half, yet this routine had become so ordinary. Levi would call you to his office often for "urgent business", but when you arrived, all he demanded was a kiss or a long hug, sometimes both. You thought it was adorable actually, but Levi would never admit his neediness.
You pushed up on your toes slightly to reach Levi's face and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
Levi grunted, "Not enough. Put your arms around me."
"Levi..." You began to protest, but it was futile. There was no way you could resist Levi's charm, something it seemed only you could see in him.
You pushed fully on your tip toes to reach and wrap your arms around Levi's neck. Your weight slightly pulled him down as you gave him a soft kiss.
You let go and Levi pulled back, visibly more content.
"Good, but not long enough."
His minor complaints were really beginning to frustrate you.
"Well, I'm sorry. It's difficult! I can't reach... You're too tall!!"
Levi froze in shock at your words. He had just heard something that no one had ever told him before, but you hadn't noticed that it slipped from your mouth.
"What's wrong? Levi...?"
Still in shock, Levi could only say one word.
"Tall?"
"Huh?"
A slight pink hue spread across Levi's cheeks.
"You said I was... tall."
You smiled, realizing your words.
"You are tall! I need to tip toe to kiss you!," you said, demonstrating by giving Levi a kiss on his cheek.
Levi snapped out of his daze to lean down and kiss you deeply.
With this kiss, he looked fully content.
"Is that it, Heichou sir?" You asked, winking.
Levi smiled slightly as he opened the door to his office.
He said loudly, "Yes, Cadet (l/n). That is all. Now get back to work."
He gave a quick wink at the end, paired with a reassuring nod.
"Until next time," you whispered as you passed him.
~~~~~
From that day on, Levi called you to his office more frequently. Each time, he'd ask for the same thing. Each time, you'd have to go on your tip toes and wrap your arms around his neck before kissing him. Each time, you could sense the pleasure Levi was getting from your need to stretch to reach him.
