Levi, Hanji, and Mike walked down the hallway. Hanji was prattling about one of her titan theories. Levi's slanted eyes glanced in her direction as an annoyed looked pinched his lips. Mike leaned toward Levi with a curious expression on his face. He sniffed tentatively at the man's hair.
"What are you doing?" Levi's gaze cut over to the man who stood behind him. His words cut off Hanji, who looked around curiously.
"Oh, you know his habit of sniffing people."
"He knows my smell," Levi said as he waved the man away.
"You smell like…" Mike frowned.
"Cleaning solution!" Hanji declared as she punched the sky, triumphant over her deduction.
"No, I smell like Darjeeling tea in the morning," Levi said as he continued to walk down the hall.
"Why in the morning? That's awfully specific," Hanji said. With her long legs it didn't take her any time to catch up with Levi.
"Jaeger!" Mike said.
"Yes, sir!" The distressed, high-pitched words came down the hallway. Eren Jaeger stood in the intersection of the hallway. He had been in the middle of mopping it when he had heard his name.
"Eren, hi!" Hanji ran up to him and clasped his shoulders. Excitedly she jumped up and down behind him.
"What is it, Mike-sir?" Eren asked as he stared up at the taller man.
"Oh, nothing, Eren," Mike said. "I just figured out what Levi smells like." Mike stood between the boy and the man. He sniffed Eren and then Levi. "Yes, as I thought, he smells like Jaeger."
"What?" Levi's voice was low and dangerous. His sharp black eyes pierced into Eren, who was cowering behind his mop. "Is that so?" He reached out and knocked the mop aside.
"Heichou!" Eren cried out as the man caught him by the front of his shirt.
"Follow me, you dirty brat," Levi said as he began to drag him down the hall.
"Wh-where are we going, heichou?"
"My bathroom. I'm going to make sure I don't ever smell like you again."
"Eh," Hanji said as she ran after them. "If you're going to hurt him, I have to be there to take notes on his regenetitive capabilities."
"Don't give him ideas!" Eren said as he continued to stumble after the shorter man.
"I'm not going to hurt him. I'm going to clean him."
"I can do that myself!" Eren wailed.
"Clearly not if I'm ending up smelling like your stinky sweat."
"I never said it was stinky," Mike murmured to himself as he watched the three hurry down the hall.
