LLL- IDK what made me think of this but I hope you enjoy it.
Levi- I have a feeling i'm not going to enjoy this
LLL- Oh you will
Levi- but you don't own AOT/SNK so it doesn't matter
Hange stands on a chair hanging lanterns while Mikasa handles the candles. Levi sits in a chair, eyes closed in slight annoyance. "I don't see the of all of this?"
"Lighten up little guy. Since we are on such strict watch we might as well enjoy ourselves." A large green and leafy mass is shoved into the front door. After a few seconds of being stuck it falls through with Eren stumbling on top of it.
Levi sends him a blank stare and replies to Hange. "I don't find brats destroying the place we live with trees very enjoyable. And what have I told you about calling me that?"
"Brat?" Eren furrows his eyebrows and Levi disregards his existence.
"Hey Eren can you bring that over here." Hange beckons him forward with smiling eyes through her glasses. He looks at the impossible plant. With perfect timing Jean walks down the stairs. "OK, Hange, I'm done up stairs."
"Great. Go over and help Eren."
The two glare at one another. Reluctantly, Jean walks over to Eren and lifts the tip of the tree. Eren has the other side. When they start moving, immediately they both stumble.
"You're going too slow!" Jean grunts.
"You're going too fast!"
"Weakling!"
"Halfwit!"
"You wanna fight Titan?" Jean growls. Eventually they start to struggle and bristles fall from the tree. In a fit of aggravation Levi stands up and calmly walks over to the tree. The arguing guys don't even notice him. With the clearing of his throat he swings his leg down, chopping the tree in half. Eren and Jean are slung over and onto the floor. Mikasa looks up at the scene. They both groan and Levi stands over them in a towering rage.
"I thought you two brats were over your hatred of one another?"
"Some people stay simple minded," Eren hisses, sending Jean a death glare.
Levi steps on his head and Mikasa jolts forward. Hange grabs her arm and whispers in her ear. "He's just really cranky. He'll be better once he lets off a little steam. Personally, I think It'd be better if he took it out on someone that can heal themselves."
The black haired female calms her breathing but remains tense. She has never really liked Levi. His foot remains on the back of Eren's head, smashing his face into the tree as he speaks. "Both of you damned idiots are annoying me. Eren, go take a shower. You're disgusting. Jean, clean up this mess. If I see even a speck of dirt on this floor I'm throwing you over the wall unequipped"
Although Levi's facial expression doesn't change, his tone could kill titans alone.
"And you Captain!" Hange shouts angrily. "Go get a new tree."
"What..."
"You destroyed the one I had. So you go get the new one."
"I'd rather be swallowed by Eren's titan."
"I have a stash of titan remains after they've evaporated... I'll put it in your bed while you're sleeping." His eyes widen because some parts of him knows she is serious...
"You wouldn't dare."
"Try me," she growls with a fire in her eyes.
Eren struggles against the weight of Levi's foot before finally being released. He takes a gasp of air and starts speaking as if he has not just been stepped on. "Why are we doing this? Where did the idea even come from?"
"I've already told you! In the inner most cities, where the king lives, they celebrate aholiday named Christmas. It's where people thank the gods for the walls and the safety of humanity. Basically they appreciate life on this day and the best part, everyone gets gifts."
"What's that you're hanging now?" Eren asks, pointing to the green leaf, decorated with what looks like red pearls
"It's called a mistletoe."
Levi raises an eyebrow. "Who the hell came up with that stupid name?"
She ignores his comment. "Whenever two people are under it, they have to kiss."
"Take it down." Levi hisses.
"Oh quick being such a grump and go get my christmas tree."
"Hange." He pinches the bridge of his nose, attempting to release some stress. "Do you know why no one listens to the overly religious in the inner walls? Because they are crazy."
"Yeah," Eren agrees. "We had this one guy in the Shiganshina District who stood in the streets and always yelled about how the gods who created the walls are angry that we are not believing in them and that the titans will never win. Armin listened to him quite a bit but overall everyone knew he was out of his mind..."
"That doesn't mean their idea isn't right. I think we should at least appreciate the walls. They've kept us alive at least."
"I don't think I want to celebrate being trapped inside of a pin," Eren grunts
"You're celebrating life and you're going to like it!" Her voice has gotten louder now and she appears saddened. This is clearly something that is important to her and Eren looks down in defeat.
"OK Hange. We will have fun with it."
Jean starts to clean up the tree with anger while Levi contemplates Hange's threat. Unexpectedly, while Eren is brushing himself off, Mikasa snatches him by the collar of his shirt and throws him at Levi. "Hey, what are you doing?"
Mikasa looks at them disapprovingly. "You're going with him to look for that tree." Armin walks through the door while she speaks to them. "I'm tired of the two of you fighting."
"So why don't you tell Jean to go with him?" Levi grunts.
"Because I hate you." She states plainly.
Levi crosses his arms. "Oh do you?"
"Yes. If you lay another hand on Eren, Hange and Armin won't be able to hold me back."
"Is that a threat?"
"No, it's a warning. Now make friends because I don't bluff."
"OK." Eren rushes to answer.
"You're going to give in that easily?" Jean jeers.
"She probably won't kill me but she's thrown me 6 feet into a brick wall when we were kids... and she wasn't even mad. I don't want to test her patience."
"Fine, I'll look for the damn tree but after this, keep me out of your pointless holiday."
Hange looks past Levi. "Armin! How are things looking?"
"Just reporting on Annie."
"Any progress?"
"No... I haven't come up with anything. The crystal is like a giant diamond. It's impossible to crack."
"What if we push it off the top off the wall?" Levi suggests.
Jean looks up at him. "What is up with you and that wall?" Levi sends him a death glare.
"No Levi," Armin says, blocking his next threat to Jean. "If we drop it off the wall it'll either get stuck in the ground or bounce and hurt more people. It depends on the speed it drops in contrast to the weight of it and the softness of the ground."
Levi nods, impressed with the intelligent soldier. Armin has been granted with thetask of finding a way to unfreeze Annie. Levi grabs Eren's wrist and pulls him. "Let's get this over with." Mikasa watches them as the two leave the house together.
LLL- Hope you liked. This is the first time I've done a random story kinda like this...
Hange- Review please
