"What are you doing, (f/n)?"

You continued looking through the closets and drawers of Levi's office, looking more distraught

than ever.

"I'm looking for my bookmark!" you said, turning around to see Jean standing there, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"It's just a bookmark, (f/n). You can just get anoth-"

"It's very important to me, Jean!" you said, clenching your fists.

Tears were starting to blur your vision. You turned away, not wanting Jean to see your tears. You blinked them away and continued searching.

"And why is that?" He opened the door cautiously, peeking to see if Levi was outside. "(F/n), you're gonna get in trouble before you find it."

"Then help me find it!"

He rolled his eyes, but started to help you.

"What does it look like?" Jean asked. "How did it get in here, anyway?"

You sighed, looking down at the floor. "It's a picture… a picture of my family."

Jean flinched, remembering that they were a part of the outrageous plan to retake Wall Maria using the refugees. "Oh."

"Some guys were messing with my things. It was funny at first, but this time, they went too far," you continued. You turned to look at him, and you were clearly annoyed. "I mean, seriously, Levi's office? If he finds me looking through his drawers, who knows what will happen? It's Levi, for goodness sake!"

At least Levi's office is clean, you thought to yourself. It should be easier than trying to find it in a messy room.

You looked under Levi's desk, through his bookshelf, pretty much everywhere, but to no avail.

You turned to see if Jean had made any progress, only to find him looking through a book.

"Jean, come on," you said, snatching the book. "That's not yours."

But even so, you couldn't help but look at the cover.

'Love Ninja'?

Just then you heard footsteps outside. You put the book on the Levi's desk as quietly and quickly as you could and hid in a closet. Jean followed suit. Levi stepped into the room just as Jean closed the closet door. The closet was small and with you two cramped into a tiny space, you had to be close to each other. You were pressed against each other. You turned red, hoping that Jean couldn't see well in the dark.

"Shit," Jean muttered under his breath. "I guess we're stuck here until he falls asleep."

Slowly, minutes went by and eventually, minutes turned into hours. Time went by slowly in tense, uncomfortable silence. But as time went by, you were growing tired. And eventually you slept, despite you two being cramped into such a space. Your head slipped onto Jean's shoulder. His face became slightly warm. But eventually he grew tired as well and he slipped into

unconsciousness as well. The two of you slept peacefully and soundly, leaning on each other.

"Wake up."

You woke to the sound of Levi's rough voice. You found yourself looking at Levi's dark apathetic eyes, his face in a scowl.

"Tch," Levi said. "Brats."

Your (e/c) eyes looked around. You had no idea where you were.

Am I in Levi's office?

You wondered why and tried to remember what you were doing the night before.

The bookmark!

You raised your head, suddenly alert and wide awake, but you hit your head on Jean's head, pushing his head up, causing his head to hit the ceiling of the closet.

"Ow.." The two of you whimpered in pain and slowly crept out of the closet.

As soon as you crept out, your limbs started to tingle and feel weird and unpleasant.

"What the hell are you two doing in my office?" Levi said, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

"Some guys hid my bookmark, and we were looking for it."

"How exactly did you end up sleeping in my closet?" Levi asked.

"We were hiding," Jean said.

"From who?" Levi asked.

"You don't want to know," you said.

Levi opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Jean.

"Ugh, why do my legs hurt so much?" Jean was scratching and rubbing his calves. He felt something, thin and wrinkled under the hem of his pants. Jean paused. "Wait a minute. Is this.." He held up a picture.

Your eyes widened, recognizing the picture. "It is!" You grabbed it from his hand. "Thank you so much! Thank you!" You gave him a peck on his cheek. His cheeks turned bright pink, but you were so happy that you didn't notice.

"As punishment for sleeping in your superior's closet," Levi said, "the two of you will be on cleaning duty and you will not have any dinner tonight."

Jean groaned. You let out a sigh.

"Get out," Levi snarled. "Now."

Together, the two of you walked out of Levi's office, massaging your sore limbs.

"Jean," you said, nudging his shoulder, "don't look so down. After all, it's just cleaning duty. Cleaning duty can't be too bad, right? And as for the food.. Well, we can just steal some food, like Sasha usually does. It can't be too hard. It'll be fine."

You flashed him a bright smile.

"Yeah, you're right," Jean said, smiling back. "It'll be fine."
