A/N: Hi everyone! So, this is a fanfic based on Attack on Titan around the time after the 104th squad became Levi's squad. LevixOC. Bit of fluff, some angst, some steamy interactions and a lot of action, would you expect anything less from Attack on Titan? I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. I've made some minor revisions to the chapters with the help of my beautiful beta readers (thank you!) and so I'll be putting those up in the next couple of days. Sorry for the sporadic updating!

I absently twirled my small knife in between my fingers as Ellie and Rowen sat cleaning their equipment for the coming expedition. The rest of the squad quietly milled about headquarters, cleaning this, packing that, and just generally trying to ensure we had all of the provisions we would need for our journey outside of the walls. I looked over at my two friends as they studiously cleaned their equipment.

Rowen was a tall willowy girl with thin, stick-straight blonde hair that she always kept pulled back into a tight bun and piercing, calculating gray eyes. She was as tall, if not taller, than most of the men in the legion which made her a little slower on her maneuvering device, but her skill with a blade was incredible. Ellie was almost completely different; she was barely 160 centimeters and was all curves. Her hair was an unmanageable tangle of blond curls, and her dark green eyes always held a mischievous gleam. On land she was the clumsiest person I knew, but in the air she was graceful and as lithe as a mountain cat. The three of us were an odd match, but seeing as there were so few women in the squad, we usually stuck together.

"So," I said, breaking the silence, "are you going to scream the entire expedition this time too?"

Ellie blushed furiously and threw the rag she had been using to clean her gas tank at me. It flew past me with incredible speed without me even having to dodge. A soldier a few yards away yelped as it smacked him, jerking up to find who had thrown the rag. Her mouth gaped open and she ducked behind Rowan quickly.

Rowan pushed Ellie away, snickering as the soldier found his target and threw a glare and some choice words at Ellie, "You know your aim is horrible. Why do you even try?"

After smiling and waving apologetically at the man, Ellie scowled at Rowen before turning on me, "Yeah, I just might! Got a problem with it?!"

My mouth turned up at the corners as I tucked my knife back into its sheath on my thigh, "Well, since it alerts all of the titans to our location, yeah, I kind of do. Why did you even join the scouting legion if you are so scared of titans?"

Ellie looked at me blankly before shrugging, "Impulse."

I laughed, "That has got to be the worst reason I have ever heard! How uninspiring!"

"Correction," Rowen cut in, "I think she means how did you ever join the scouting legion?"

Ellie turned and playfully smacked Rowen, sticking out her tongue, "Luck! And besides, who isn't scared of titans? They're so eerie with their nasty smiles and and blank eyes," she mimicked their movements, coming toward me with a blank smile.

"By eerie you mean absolutely adorable, right?"

We all flinched at the intruding voice, my hand instinctively reaching for my knife again before recognizing it. I slowly turned to find Hanji sitting at the table with a dreamy look on her face. I swallowed and tried not to frown at my captain. She had undeniable skill, but sometimes she was just plain unnerving. How long had she been sitting there?

"Good evening, Captain Hanji," Rowen said politely. I rolled my eyes at her unbelievably calm composure and pulled my hand away from my knife.

That jerked Hanji out of her daydream and she pouted at us, tears welling up in her eyes as she pushed an envelope across the table at us, "It's a command from Erwin himself, you're switching squads! From this expedition on, you are going to be a part of Levi's squad!"

"What?!" I exclaimed, snatching the letter off of the table and ripping it open. Rowen and Ellie crowded in around me to read the letter. After reading a few crap lines about 'for the good of the legion', I shoved the letter at Ellie and then pushed toward Hanji.

"But Hanji, you know this is where we belong! Here with you and the rest of the squad," and there's no way in hell that I'm going to deal with that sarcastic little runt.

"I know!" Hanji wailed dramatically, "I loved all of our talks about the titans-" and I hated every single one of them, "but Levi himself asked Erwin to send you, Yesenia, and I told him he couldn't take you without taking Rowen and Ellie too."

Ellie's eyes widened and she rushed over to envelop Hanji in a tight hug, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Captain Hanji, you are the best!"

Hanji smiled and patted Ellie before turning to Rowen and I, "You'd best collect your things, you'll be sleeping in Levi's squad's barracks tonight. Oh, and Yesenia, you'll want to clean your equipment before you meet Levi. He's kind particular about things being clean."

I shrugged and tapped my gear with a knuckle, "The inside is cleaner than Commander Erwin's and runs better than anyone's gear in our military, who cares what the outside looks like?"

Hanji raised her hands in defeat and smiled sadly, "If you insist, I will go plan your funeral service. Anyway, you can always come visit and we'll have a marvelous discussion about my most recent experiments!"

With that, the three of us quickly collected our gear before heading to our barracks. As I shoved my belongings into my bag, I cast a glance at my gear. Perhaps I should clean it.

I shook my head and shoved another shirt into my bag. It works fine, amazingly in fact; I would know, I'd pulled it apart and tweaked it enough that I knew it worked faster and more efficiently than anyone else's gear in the squad. What did it matter what it looked like? I'd be fine.

I hope you enjoyed it! If you have any critiques or comments, please let me know and I'll try to fix it. Of course, the Attack on Titan stuff belongs to the creators of Attack on Titan (obviously) so it's not mine but my character's and most of the plot line are a result of my creativity. If you liked it, leave a comment/review! I live for those things! XD
