Sir would you please take the damn cake!

Irish: well it's been awhile since I've done a fic and now that I've been inspired I might as well throw it out into the world.

Irish: This is about the crack paring I just about fell in love with; SashaxRivalle or as he's known now as Levi. Sasha does not get enough love and Shingeki no kyojin fandom does not get enough love so here's some love!

Irish: Shout out to Lady Shizu for inspiring this insanity and that I don't own Shingeki no kyojin.

To the average person today seemed like a beautiful day; the sun was shining, the birds were singing and there wasn't a titan in site. But for the 104th trainees it was a pure hell and it wasn't just today the entire week has been pure hell.

Why one might ask. Well the answer is simple.

It was Trials week.

Trials week was the week when the all of the squadrons come together and send the trainees on individual tasks that challenge the cadet in some way. You didn't have to pass the trial to graduate but you would be known as a total loser if you didn't.

The trials for some were very straight forward; Armin had to complete an obstacle course because of his lack of physical abilities. Mina who was afraid of spiders had to keep a spider the size of her hand on her head for several hours. Some cadets had very odd tasks; Jean had to drink an entire bottle of mustard in under seven minutes. Ymir had to work as a smiling hostess at a bar for an entire day.

Sasha Browse had a feeling that today was the day for to receive her trial and the moment she was called to see the instructor she knew she was right. Walking through the halls she could only imagine what her trial would be but she did now the thing it was revolve around.

Food

Everyone knew that Sasha loved food; she would marry food if she could. So it was only obviously that her trial had to be about food. Her trial could be going to an entire day without food or not being able to eat until she solved a puzzle either way it made Sasha very hungry.

Reaching the door to the instructor's she took a deep breath and opened the door. There in all his bald glory was her instructor Keith Shadis; the man who made her run for an entire day without food even after she generously gave him half of her potato. He stood in the center of the room holding a white box about the size of a loaf of bread.

"Sasha Browse"

At the sound of his voice she instantly went into a salute.

"S-sasha Browse reporting for duty sir!"

The intimidating man walked toward her and shoved the box into her hands without a word. His gold eyes that could make grown men piss themselves were drilling through her skull. Looking down at the package she noticed "room 14 Asula Inn" scribbled on top of the box.

"You are to take the package to the target. You are not under any circumstance allowed to open the package do we understand?"

"Y-yes sir!"

"You must give the target the package by all cost do I make myself clear?"

"Sir yes sir!"

"Then get a move on!"

Letting out an undignified squeak Sasha sprinted down the hall. She kept running trying to keep the box steady; she ran out of the training grounds and into the town. People gave her strange looks but she ignored them she had to deliver the box. She kept on running till she realized that she had no idea where she was going.

Her boots came to a screeching halt; she looked around and was over whelmed by the buildings and crowds around her. It was nothing like Dauper, her home. Everything was made of stone and wood. There were so many sounds and smells she didn't know what to do. She was standing still but she was pushed every which way by the flow of the massive crowds. How in the world is she supposed to find one inn in this massive place?

Christa's calm angelic voice rang inside her head.

If you don't know what to do just ask someone they'll help you

There were a lot of people for her to ask but how could she talk to them? They were just average people going about their business but at that moment to Sasha they looked scarier than any titan could ever be.

I wish Christa was here she's great at talking to people

"Maybe I should just head back"

She whispered to herself before she walked straight into someone. She thanked her lucky stars that she didn't fall over but she did make the squeak noise she makes when she get scarred. She starred at the big black boots in front of her trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Excuse me miss but are you lost?"

She slowly raised her head up to see a friendly looking man with black hair and a shaggy beard. She briefly wondered if he was an angel of god (Christa) sent here to help her. He didn't look that scary so she guessed it would be O.K to talk to him.

"Um yes sir, I need to find um this place"

She said lightly tapping the address on the box.

"Just turn right over there"

He said gesturing to a general store a few ways down.

"Then go right and keep going until you see a large building with colored windows; that's the inn"

"Thank you sir"

"What's the occasion?"

"Huh?"

"That cake you're carrying it must be for something special"

She looked down at the box and sniffed it trying not to look completely weird. She smelled something sugary sweet. It reminded her of the time when she went to a festival with Christa and Ymir. There were sugary good everywhere and they tasted so good she would have eaten till she dropped had Ymir not pulled her away.

"I do not know sir"

"Maybe it's for a birthday?"

"A birthday?"

"Yeah, you have cake on birthdays"

Sasha loved birthdays, back home on her birthday she was allowed to eat as much as she wanted. She got wear her prettiest dress and the whole village would have a large feast filled with music and dancing (they did this for all children's birthdays) and most importantly this was the only time when she was allowed to ask questions about her mother. They never had something as expensive as cake they usually had honey buns and pies.

"You'd better hurry they'll be expecting you"

"Oh, thank you I will be going now"

She said before running off. She held the box even tighter to her chest. She couldn't wait to see the look on that person's face when they see the cake. They were going to be so happy maybe they'll even share it with her!

Lance Corporal Levi hated birthdays; he didn't hate the celebration of someone living another year he just hated the mess that birthdays caused. Streamers and confetti just went everywhere, party food was just disgusting in both taste and that everyone put their dirty hands all over everything. He also never celebrated his birthday as a child so he found no reason to celebrate his birthday as an adult but some people had other ideas.

His birthday was even worse; every year Hanji tries to throw him a surprise party. He hated surprises and Hanji couldn't keep a secret to save her life. She can keep secrets from humans but when it comes to her "babies" Bean and Sunny she just blabs away. Her reasoning behind this is that "a mother shouldn't keep secrets from her babies". She tells her "babies" so loudly that everyone in the damn squadron can hear her. So taking matters into his own hands Levi did what he really wanted to do for his birthday; he booked himself a room at an inn. Inns were wonderful in his opinion; they were always clean and they left you alone.

He enjoyed himself by sleeping in (7:30) and then enjoyed a nice cup of tea just the way he likes it (with one sugar with two table spoons of 2% percent milk) while making sure his weapons and 3D gear were squeaky clean. Everything was going quite swimmingly until.

Knock knock

He let out a groan; he knew everything was going just too well. It was only a matter of time before Hanji found him but Hanji never knocks she just barges right in. This made him curious; he got up and opened the door. Instead of Hanji or someone else of his team it was a cadet shaking like a leaf holding a box in her hands. She was only a bit taller than him with scruffy brown hair held in a ponytail like Hanji and big brown eyes that reminded him of acorns.

"For you sir"

She whimpered holding the box out to him.

He noticed the writing on the box matched Hanji's handwriting perfectly. He had to give it to Hanji she was pretty damn crafty. She knew that he would go to a hotel room and would never let her in to give him something or celebrate in anyway. So she got some poor cadet to give him the cake in her steed as it was Trials week.

"Happy birthday sir"

He was then snapped out of his thoughts, the cadet was trembling but her eyes were steady and strong. She leaned in bringing the box closer to him. He could smell the sugary floury smell from the box. He hated sweet stuff and that frosting got everywhere and made everything damn sticky.

"Sorry kid I don't want it"

He said calmly pushing the box back toward her.

Sasha couldn't believe it; she had finally got to her destination only find out her target was THE Lance Corporal Levi! He was a legend; he the strongest man in like entire legion, a one man army he was like a thousand Mikasas rolled into one! She had only seen glimpses of him when the scouting legion went out. This was her first time seeing him up close. He was quite handsome with his strong muscular body and slick black hair. His sharps eyes made it look like everything was trivial and weak. She was surprised to see that he was shorter than she was but she kept that to herself.

"But you have to take it"

It was her trial he had to take it.

"Just throw it away and say you did"

"NO WAY!"

There weren't a lot of things that made Sasha angry but wasting food and lying was something that really rubbed her the wrong way. Her dad always said the worst thing you could do was lie to someone and in a village were food was scarce wasting food was practically disgusting.

"YOU CAN'T WASTE FOOD AND IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE IT'S SPECIAL!"

As her anger began to cool she then realized who she was yelling at and instantly wanted to crawl into a hole and die.

"And it is my Trial so it would be really nice if you would please take it sir"

Levi found her personality to be more and more confusing; at first she was as timid as any green cadet then she was screaming at him like a scolding parent only to return to her timid state. She said that his birthday cake was special he wanted to see how she was going to sell that. He didn't believe that she thought it was special she was just saying that to complete her trial.

"How is it special?"

She was taken back a bit.

"Special? Well sugary stuff like this is very expensive and hard to come by so someone must really care a lot about you to get you something like this. It's a gift to you to show how much they care about you and how grateful that you were born into this world"

Grateful that you were born into this world

That's the first time he's heard that. As a child he was told that his birth was nothing but a hindrance and that it would be better if he was never born. He heard his mother complain time and time again that it was so hard for her to get customers with a brat around. And his father? He wouldn't know he's never met him.

"Who would be grateful?"

"Everyone sir! You are their hero; the man who slays titans like it was nothing. Everyone in the barracks wants to be just like you!"

Everyone's hero, I bet after spending a few moments with me her image of the great Lance Corporal Levi will shatter into a million pieces. No one see's me for me and those who do don't like me

"Also your friends and comrades are grateful too. They are grateful for having such a good friend and loyal comrade."

He let out a sigh she was a brat but she was an earnest brat. He softly took the box from her hands and opened the lid. The cake had white frosting and pink blobs that he thinks were supposed to be rosettes. His squad mate's names were scribbled across the top.

Those idiots

He glanced up to see the cadet starring at the box practically drooling.

"Do you want some?"'

"C-can I?"

"There's no way I could eat all this by myself so come on"

"Thank you sir!"

And that was the first day they met.

Irish: that was really long and I hope I made everyone in character and did a good job. So in terms of Levi I think that he didn't come from a very loving home and that he has issues with everyone seeing him as the perfect hero.

Irish: Reviews make the world go round so please give me some!
