A/N: This is my first AoT/SnK fanfiction. I'm restricting myself to making this three chapters long. But I hope you enjoy the ride. I welcome all your feedback and hope you'll continue this story until the last chapter.

Year 835
Her golden eyes stared at him with hard concentration. She'd always thought that perhaps if she stared long enough, cat ears might appear upon the top of his head. He had always appeared to be slightly catty to her with his indifferent facade, smart-ass attitude and dirty mouth. Especially his eyes, she couldn't quite explain it, but his eyes were very feline. They were an intimidating grey and they weren't very expressive but they were no where near dull. He had black hair that was styled in an undercut. He was short to say the least, of course, not that she could say anything, being she was even smaller than him. The man she was calling catty was none other than Corporal Levi, humanity's strongest soldier. He looked rather young, though his height played a large role in that.
"Aurelie!" She jumped at the sound of her name. Aurelie Chevalier, a twenty year old, petite (midget), single woman with an obvious love interest. She had golden eyes, jet black hair that, when undone, came down to her hips. Though it was often braided and stuffed down the back of her jacket, or flopped over her shoulder. She held the under average height of being 4'10, in which she hated with her entire being. Sure, being small had its perks, but it also was a curse.
"Yes sir!" The golden eyed woman addressed her commanding officer formally, a fist over her heart and an arm behind her back. Though she did it more out of surprise than respect. She was worried that he'd caught her staring.
"You weren't paying much attention when you were cleaning were you, you brat? Look at this fucking mess. Its disgusting." Levi ran a finger over the table, where a small layer of dust had settled.
"Captain Levi! I just dusted the room, or course the table would have a small amount dust on it. I was just about to wipe it down." Aurelie climbed down from the chair she had been previously standing on and took her place next to Levi. She looked up to him, and he looked down at her. Disgust was clearly written on his seemingly young face.
"You're covered in filth, take a step back." He motioned with his hand for her to move but instead she slunk closer.
"A little dust won't kill you captain." Aurelie smirked and reached out to poke his face but he retaliated by placing his hand on her forehead. She continued to reach forward but realized that her arms were to short and his arms were long enough to keep her at bay. "Damn it captain! Once touch won't send you flying into a world of disease or anything."
"I just cleaned myself up and I'll be damned if going to be covered in dirt by some ill mannered woman." Levi sidestepped and watched her stumble forward. Aurelie stuck her tongue out him and he threatened to cut it off. "Erwin wants us." He said suddenly.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" She stripped herself of her bandanna, gloves, and apron. Folding them neatly and setting them on the table. Underneath she was dressed for battle. White pants, black button down, brown knee-high boots and a turquoise ribbon that was loosely knotted around the collar of her shirt. Her belts, for the 3D maneuver gear, were already in place. Aurelie brushed past him to exit the dinning area but looked over her shoulder before leaving him to far behind. "Captain... I've been meaning to thank you." She said shyly, "About Azurine. Thank you."
Azurine Chevalier, her younger sister. They joined the the cadets at the same time despite Aurelie being older. That was a long time ago though, neither of them expected to make it this far, but they have. Azurine made a close call on the last expedition that almost cost her life, resulting in Levi saving her life from the deadly grip of a titan. Both of her arms had been broken but that was easy to fix. That had been almost two years prior though, but that wasn't what she was thanking him for. She was thanking him for guaranteeing Azurine's place in his squad even after the accident.
"What the hell are you thanking me for? Get your ass moving." He put his hand between her shoulder blades and pushed her out the door. Aurelie chuckled lightly and quickened her pace. They stepped out of the building and were greeted by the rest of the squad, including Azurine. Aurelie's sister looked very similar to the golden eyed woman. But her eyes were a pale sky-blue color and her black hair was boy short and a complete and utter mess. She was taller than her elder sister, meaning she was also taller than the captain. Azurine had a small scar running over her nose and across her left cheekbone. She fashioned her scouting jacket, belts and gear, knee-high brown boots, white pants and a grey t-shirt.
The rest of the squad consisted of Bradan Keegan and Elias Augustine. Braden was a tall, 6'1, lanky man with a face full of freckles but intelligent soft brown eyes. His hair was an unruly dirty blonde. Bradan was smart but he was quiet. He wore the standard soldier outfit but his shirt was a soft beige. Elias was average height, about 5'8. He had chestnut hair, that was tied back into a rat tail, and sea green eyes. He was broad and rather stern looking but he had a soft heart. He also wore the standard outfit but his shirt was a white button down. They all saluted Levi and parted so he could pass through.
They headed for Erwin's office and everyone fell in line behind the captain. Azurine lowered her mouth to Aurelie's ear and whispered, "Flirting with the captain I see. You bad girl." The younger sibling gave a hushed giggle. Aurelie gasped and gave her sister a soft pushed on the shoulder.
"I was doing no such thing." The golden eyed woman mumbled, "Besides, I don't think the captain has an interest in that kind of relationship. Especially in our field of work." Her face fell as she said the last part. But it perked back up when her sister squeezed her shoulder tenderly.
"You never know sis, you've been in love with him for a long time. I doubt he hasn't noticed." Azurine comforted her. A large hand ruffled the top of the short woman's head. Gold eyes looked up to meet green and a small smirk played across Elias's lips. Aurelie smiled back and looked at Bradan who gave her a quick nod in agreement. They all supported their tiny teammate, and close companion.
The team entered Erwin's office and stood in front of him. Arms behind their backs and expressionless faces. "We've been granted permission for the 26th expedition." Erwin stated, his large blonde brows were furrowed in concentration.
"When will we be leaving?" Levi leaned against the corner of his commander's desk. His arms crossed over his chest and his usual frown sat on his lips. Aurelie thought he had a very catty look on his face at that moment.
"In three days we'll leave for Shingashina's gate." His tone was serious and almost sad, yet full of determination for humanity. "Prepare the men."
A/N: I apologize for the briefness of this chapter, I will definitely make the next two lengthier. On another note, some information regarding time frames and such are done completely by estimation. It's not official information. This is also set before Petra's squad with Levi. The time frame more or less after Isabel and Farlan die. I'm also basing Levi's age off of the reports that I've seen stating that he's 34. (Though I'm not sure if that's official either.) That would make him at least nineteen in this.
Aurelie and Azurine Chevalier are French.
Bradan Keegan is Irish.
Elias Augustine is German.
