[Halloween With Papa Levi]

"You're not going with Jaeger and that's final."

"Then come with us!"

"Your mother is going." He narrowed his eyes sharply. "I don't have time to be knocking on filthy doors and dealing with little brats dressed in pumpkin costumes." He added with a long sigh.

Revy and Rikasa both stared up at their father in low spirits, hoping in their minds that he would let-up on being so anal like he usually was, and somehow accompany them during their annual Trick-Or-Treat adventure around the neighborhood. It happened once every year, after all. And it was rare for him to be home during this time of year when he wasn't out on an expedition.

Mikasa flickered her eyes towards the children, sighing heavily before picking the phone up to her ears. "Hello? Ah Erwin, how are you?" She answered in a spirtly voice.

Levi whirled his head around, his eyes completely narrowed. Not happy in the slightest by the idea of his wife being so close to the Commander. Especially since she was addressing him by his first name.

'When the hell did they exchanged numbers?'

"Oh Levi, you ask?" She glanced sideways at him. "No, he's not coming this year. Perhaps you would like— "

Levi quickly covered her mouth, clutching the phone from her hand before another word escaped from her lips. "Erwin," he replied in a low voice. "Change of plans, it seems that I'll be joining the brats this year. There's no need for you to come along." He asserted, in a wary voice— though it sounded more like, 'there's no need for you to get so damn close to my wife,' if anything.

"Yay!" The kids cheered. "Let's go, let's go!"

Levi exhaled in relief, releasing his palm away from her mouth, a smirk framing at his lips.

"I'm sensing a bit of jealousy coming from you," Mikasa arched an eyebrow, completely amused by his out of character behavior. "Perhaps it' because of Erwin." She eyed him closely.

"It's Commander Erwin, Ackerman," he stressed heavily on, "and I don't recall you being so goddamn familiar with him."

"We talk on the phone every now and then. Not that it concerns you."

He gritted his teeth together tightly. "You shouldn't call him so frequently. He's already busy dealing with the filthy pigs and stressing over meetings with the other officers."

"He's actually the one that calls me."

That bastard. That smooth, son of a—

"Mommy!" Revy shouted.

"Dad." Rikasa said sternly.

They both turned their attention towards the children immediately, almost forgetting that they were suppose to leave trick-or-treating already.

"Ah, let's go little pumpkins." Mikasa smiled, ushering them out the front door. "We're only going down the block and back." She added with a firm tone.

They both rolled their eyes and nodded in obedience. "Yes, mom."

"Even with the brats you're still merciless as ever." He shook his head in compliance.

"Says the man who still regards them as,'brat's'."

"Point taken."

"Now hurry up before I really call Erwin to come along with us."

"Don't you fucking dare Ackerman." He warned, closing the door shut with brute force. "He's not allowed within perimeters of you."

Mikasa smiled, taking pleasure of his possessiveness over her. "Sure thing."

"Don't go too far Revy!"

"Just let them go wherever they want."

"Need I remind you that we're in the middle of a raging war against Titans?" Mikasa narrowed her eyes at him coldly. "And since they're your children, they both carry out your stubborn trait, which makes it even more troublesome and you don't even go far as to— "

"Breathe Ackerman," he sighed heavily, cupping her face between his hands. "Because they're our children, that means they're as strong as us. You need to quit worrying over every little damn thing that they do and remind yourself that you have a husband who keeps his family as his top priority." He leaned in closely, leaving a kiss on her forehead. "I won't let anything happen to them, I promise."

Mikasa just knitted her eyebrows together, the edges of her lips gracing into a smile. "Then go walk with them." She pushed him forward effortlessly. "I need to go make dinner, husband, so I'm leaving them in your care." She waved her hand in the air, making her way towards the hill without uttering another word.

"That sneaky vixen.." He narrowed his half-lidded eyes. "Tch. I can handle these brats without your help— "

"Daddy!" Revy frantically shouted, his eyes bulging out its' sockets. "Rikasa is getting into a fight with somebody!" He pointed towards the enraged little pumpkin that was stomping her feet.

Pain in the ass.

"Damn it Rikasa, just what do you think you're doing?" He demanded, charging up to her side immediately. "Oi, look at me when I'm— "

He glanced down for just a fraction of a second and noticed his daughter tearing up, with that damn little cute face of hers that reminded him so much of Ackerman. Fuck no. His blood began to boil underneath his skin at a fast rate, his eyes gleaming with smoldering anger— he swore that not even a whole brigade could hold him back. His fucking daughter was crying. His little girl that he took years to raise with his own bare hands. His own beautiful creation that consisted of filthy diapers, endless complaining, and demanding lectures was crying in his presence. Unacceptable. Never. Fucking ever will the person who made his daughter cry, live to see another day in their life.

"Hey, you worthless piece of shit of a person!" He barked at the man dressed as a Titan. How ironic. "Get your ass back here before I come shove the heel of my foot inside your filthy mouth."

The man whirled around almost immediately and glanced down at him. "You talking to me?"

"No shit." He narrowed his eyes at him. "What the fuck did you do to my daughter?" He asked, though it sounded more like a demand.

The guy glanced over to the crying little girl and chuckled. "She tried to take my candy so I pushed her down." He flickered his eyes back at Levi. "What? Are you her father? Learn how to discipline your own kids man."

Levi felt the corners of his lips twitch and his vein throbbing from his temple. "Candy. Give it here now." He seethed between gritted teeth.

"No way shorty. MY candy, not hers."

Levi cracked his knuckles promptly, popping his neck in the process, before glancing over to the kids. "Revy. Rikasa. Watch your father as he teaches this vile man a thing or two about my definition of discipline." He let out a dark chuckle before making his way towards the guy. "Don't tell your mother about this either."

"Hey.. wait. What are you— AHHH!"

"We got lots of candy!" Revy jumped up in excitement. "Thank you daddy!"

"Are you sure it was okay to take all of his candy papa?" Rikasa glanced up with a worrisome look on her face. "It was just one candy that I wanted."

Levi shrugged, still wiping the blood off the soles of his boots. "Who cares. It's compensation for making you cry."

"I love you daddy, you're the best." Rikasa held on to his hand tightly and nestled her face into his side.

Levi glanced down, a smile gracing at the corners of his lips. "Yeah, I know."

'Halloween isn't so damn bad…' He thought to himself.

"I heard mister Erwin was coming over for dinner tonight!"

"You've got to be shitting me."
