Author note: Sup guys! I've got some juicy Eruri for y'all! Kinda. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, please leave a comment and critiques are more than welcome! Beware for OOC, I do try, but it's hard to get the character's spot on. Also, disclaimer, I don't own anything.
There was something off about the way Erwin's expression would soften upon addressing the miniature Captain, and there was defiantly something off about that same Captain when he seemed slackened in the commander's presence. Not to mention the looks, the awkward moments of contact and the good nature Levi appeared to be in following a discussion with the 13th Commander of the Survey Corps. Oh, Hange knew something was up, and call her crazy, however, she was determined to find out what the hell was going on between everyone's favourite Captain and the Commander. So she set out a plan. Operation one: Behaviour
It was the typical day of training, and of course, a little bit of dusting squeezed into the busy schedule. Hange was stealing every glimpse she could at the Captain and the Commander when the two were within several metres of one another as the three stood by the edge of the forest. Levi would often catch her staring but heeded no mind to her by turning his head each time with a low tut. The woman was nuts, and it wasn't uncommon for her to stare. So, with her credit, everything works in her favour. Levi or Erwin wouldn't suspect a thing. Maybe. Anyway, that was uninteresting, what was more interesting was how a soldier walked up to the Commander and briefly spoke to him. With a nod, Erwin departed himself from the grounds, and Levi's lengthy glance and tensed form proposed to Hange that he was fighting back his instincts to follow. How interesting. How interesting indeed.
Better write that down.
"Oi," an irritated voice spoke into her ear bringing her to jump and accidentally draw a long line across the paper, "what the hell are you writing? We're not doing any of your fucked up titan experiments right now. We're training." Levi's voice was harsh, like a bitter wind in her ear causing her to squirm and snap her head around to the short man and gave him a wide-eyed stare. Damn Levi, he's too stealthy, she hadn't even noticed him wandering over- Hange snapped the book closed when Levi tilted his head to peer at the contents.
"Oh!" Hange's expression broke out into a cheery grin, "I was just keeping notes on Eren for my next experiment, do you want to see?" Hange nodded to Eren and the other new recruits practising their Maneuver Gear within the towering trees and proceeded to hold out the small notebook to the Captain.
In reaction, Levi's face seemed to scrunch up, "I'll pass," he spoke making no move to take the book, "preferably I'd rather not have to bleach my brain to get rid of what fucked up content there is in that book about the Titan brat." Hange's grin only broadened and she drew the book safely back concealing it within her jacket. She patted where she had covered the book and replied, "oh, that's a bummer." Hange's lips formed a pout and her shoulder's slumped, "I would have loved filling you in on my latest theories!" She hopped on the spot, and the Captain scoffed before turning his back to the mad scientist to focus back on the soldiers.
"In your dreams four-eyes," and with that humanities strongest repelled himself away onto the closest branch to continue mentoring and as soon as the Captain was gone Hange let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding.
"Phew!" she wiped the sweat from her brows and whipped out the book again dotting down every word that was exchanged between her and Levi as unnecessary as it was. Maybe she could get Moblit in on this as well, Hange was certain he's love to assist her, oh! or perhaps Mike. His nose could come in handy by smelling possible sexual tension.
Perfect. Hange sucked in a thick breath through her nostrils and turned on her heel. Best inform them now. She marched off ignoring Levi's voice calling her in the distance. He couldn't get too angry at her for ditching him when she was hardly doing anything anyway. Besides, she had important matters to attend to. Levi would just have to suck it up.
And suck it up Levi did. "That's enough," he said to the kids after four continuous hours of exercise, "Lunch and then I want to see the halls polished and sparkling." Levi ignored the frustrated sighs, "Eren with me," Mikasa frowned at that, yet teenager was quick to salute from the branch he stood on almost losing balance as he shouted.
"Yes, Captain!"
Mikasa managed to balance him before the idiot plummeted.
Levi couldn't help but scowl only to receive a sharp glare in return from the shady Ackerman.
"Dismissed."
The brats all saluted and lowered themselves to the forest floor. The Captain could have sighed in relief. It wasn't often he was left with babysitting the new recruits and he had to say, it was irritable. They were sloppy, slow and reckless. The only moderate one seemed to be Eren's personal stalker, and yet, the brat seemed to hate his guts. It was clear she needed to be punished be that suspending her or even keeping her away from Eren. That would surely teach her a lesson. Sigh. Levi turned to Eren who patiently waited for his signal.
"Come on brat," he said hopping from the tall tree. Eren followed instantly.
The two made their way into the equipment room and dumped their gear before travelling up to the upper floors where they came across the rest of Levi squad.
"Captain!" Petra briefly stopped her sweeping to greet the grumpy Captain, as did the rest of the squad. Levi nodded and scanned the room somewhat checking to see if it was to standard with cleanness. He deemed it moderate and tossed a mop to Eren, "you have lunch when they do." He scanned the room again, Oluo was missing.
"Oh," Levi's attention turned to the strawberry blonde again, "Captain, I was wondering if you'd seen Oluo? He's been gone for a while. We presume he probably bit his tongue and is bleeding out somewhere." Her sweet voice was laced with annoyance and Levi couldn't blame her. In the background, Eren tried not to roll his eyes at the idea, that was presumably the case and they all knew it by the serious expressions.
"No I haven't," he reminded emotionless, "he's probably constipated and trying to take a big shit." Petra huffed out a weak laugh and beamed, "he sure looks like he is half the time Captain."
The short man nodded and turned, "when he returns tell him he can clean the stables while you eat." Eren mentally cheered as that was usually his job. "I'll join you shortly."
Meanwhile,
Hange had somehow managed to drag the big brute called Mike to help her in her quest. The man had simply smirked and flared his nostrils in exchange which Hange translated to a 'let's do it.' Ah, Hange knew she could rely on Mike... and Moblit too! Although, he seemed to only follow her to ensure that she didn't get herself killed by Levi. "Psh, as if! He loves me too much!" She winked at Moblit and turned to Mike, "lead the way, Mikey! Lead us to where the shorty is!"
"Section Commander! Keep your voice down!" Returned Moblit as Mike started to sniff out the scent. "AHAHAHA! Moblit you worry too much! Have you caught the scent yet Mikey?" The veteran lifted his head up and nodded, "windex," he said with a small smile. Hange squealed, "yahooooo! Let's go spy on the midget!" Moblit facepalmed and allowed himself to be dragged along.
Oh, this was going to be a long day. Section commander was not going to listen to his reasoning any time soon. Moblit just hoped that the Captain wasn't going to be too hard on her when she was finally caught...which...was very likely knowing Hange and her tendency for being clumsy.
Mike soon lead them to the Commander's office and that set Hange off in squealing fits as she yelled 'I knew it I knew it!'
"The shortie is getting laid," she suddenly whispered with a wicked grin. "Let's have a peek yes? yes?" She lunged for the door and Moblit practically tugged her back by the hood of her cloak. "Are you crazy?!" Moblit screeched causing Mike to raise a brow and Hange to laugh insanely. "Oh don't worry my lovely, I'm just going to have a small peek...-" she released herself from his grip and levelled herself down to the keyhole peering through.
Oh.
The door was rocketed open slamming directly into the Scientists face. Ouch. "Who the fuck is making that racket?" and there stood a grumpy man. Oh boy.
Comment and fav for next chapter!
