Modern!Laina AU with Agent Lillytiger

Levi swallowed as Raina listed off all the requirements he needed to meet to pass the class. "How'd you manage to convince him of that?" He asked, slightly bewildered. Professor McBride was notorious for being a stickler to the rules. He shook his head. "Well, I've got a lot of work ahead of me." He muttered, flipping his textbook open and pulling it toward him. He looked up at her and grimaced. "More notes I'm assuming?" He asked, though he didn't know how taking a million notes was going to help him remember anything for the tests he was supposed to retake.

"I'm his student helper and he likes me." Raina replied as she pulled out her stuff and laid it out in front of her. "you're not wrong, but it's your fault for getting yourself into this mess. If you weren't completely apathetic I wouldn't be dealing with your problems instead of mine." She flipped her textbook and notebook open. "Good assumption. Do lessons three through five. The tests you're taking are lessons 4-7 and 12-15, but you need to know everything else for the final so we're going to do all of it."

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi glared at Raina as she arranged her stuff. Sure, she could just judge him without knowing why he was that way. He bit his lip to keep himself from snarking back and making the situation worse. Though in the back of his mind, Levi was wondering what problems she had that he was distracting her from. He shook the thought out of his mind. It was no problem of his to worry about her. He propped his elbows on the table and started to read. He tried to stay focused, but his annoyance at Raina kept prodding him to look up at her. After the fourth or fifth time he kicked himself mentally and forced his concentration on his work. A couple hours later, he slammed the book shut and tossed his pen down. The storm hadn't calmed at all, if anything, it had gotten worse. Levi dreaded walking home in it.

Raina watched as Levi did as she instructed and then she pulled out her Theater book and flipped it open. All he would be doing for a little while was taking notes anyway, so she figured she'd use the time to get some of her own studying done. Over the next couple of hours, she felt his eyes on her more than once, but she ignored the prickly feeling on the back of her neck. She looked up again as he slammed his textbook shut. "Did you finish?" She asked, looking out the window to see the rain still pounding against the glass.

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi shot a look at Raina. "Yes, I finished." He muttered, stretching his arms over his head. His shirt shifted as he stretched, the damp fabric sending a chill over his skin. He knew he was just going to get soaked again on the way home, so it didn't really matter. He stood and stepped over to the window. It didn't look like the rain was going to stop any time soon. Levi sighed and went back to the table. He saw Raina holding the book she had been reading as he studied. "What's that?" He asked as he started shoving things back into his backpack.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina nodded. "Good." She watched him as he went to look out the window. "You can borrow my jacket if you need to get going." She offered. She'd been planning on camping out in the library for a couple of extra hours to study anyway, and if all else failed, she could call Nick and have him bring her another jacket. She looked down at the open book in front of her. "Theater study guide, because we have tests in that too."

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi shrugged. "I don't have anywhere to be." he said. "I might just wait it out here." He kicked himself mentally again. Did he really want to wait here for who knows how long, quite possibly with her? Well, it was better than walking home in the rain. He leaned over the table to look at the book upside down. "Theater? And Law? So what, next you're going to tell me that you have a chemistry lab to get to?" He said, shaking his head. He zipped up his bag but didn't lift it off the table quite yet.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina looked up at Levi and raised a brow slightly. "If you want. I'm not stopping you." Hopefully he'd be quiet so she could finish her studying and work on her sketches. She returned her attention to her book, not even bothering to look up at his next comment. "No, but I do have a forensics one tomorrow." She suddenly set her book down. "What's your major anyway?"

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi snorted and rolled his eyes. Of course she did. He hesitated a moment, then seated himself back down. "Music." He said, nodding. He shrugged. "It's pretty much the only thing I'm good at, so," He shrugged, leaving the sentence hanging. He crossed one ankle over his knee and leaned back in his chair. "What about you?" He asked. "Why law?"

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina caught Levi's eye roll and had to resist retreating back into her book. She nodded slowly as he answered. "That's cool. What do you play?" She asked, propping her chin up on the back of her hand. She hesitated a moment, definitely not ready to tell him the real reason behind her voice of career. She shrugged. "I'm actually a double major in Law and Criminal Justice with a minor in the Creative Arts. And why not?"
