Hello! Basically these are drabbles on Hange X Levi. I personally like to ship them as a best friend, sibling, I love-hate you type relationship. I have been wanting to do a Shingeki No Kyojin story for a while but was so nervous on messing up or going ooc. So let me know what you think! Please give me tips/favorites/requests. This is a first for me.

I do want to shout out Elliot Grace and Theories. You have inspired me tenfold on this! Please enjoy!


Moments from the beginning to Present: Hange was the first person to be nice to Levi when he joined


It was his first training. It had only been two days and yet, this guy had already made a name for himself. He was short, rude, and arrogant, and today was the day for him to show how good he was. Hange had overheard Commander Erwin going through some stuff just to recruit him and his two partners. And Mike- his squad leader -had invited Hange along to analyze.

'What the hell are you doing?' Mike yelled out. Hange watched with a mixed expression, part amazement, part curiosity as the short statured man hooked his blades in and held them, backwards? Hange glanced down, then up in shock. She stayed quiet, but could feel it. She could feel that warm, bubbly feeling build up in the pit of her stomach.

'All I have to do is slice the titan's neck, right?' The man spoke grimly, 'I'll do it my way.' He finished. He finished right after insulting his captain! But that wasn't what got her blushing; what got her fingers wriggling. He propelled into the air, looking so graceful, so concentrated, he was...amazing! The way he zipped through the trees, flying up and over. 'Was he given any formal training?' Hange inquired, looking to the young man beside her. When he muttered a 'no'. It was like gasoline to a flame in her gut. Hange felt the heat take over her face in blush, her lips spread in a grin and she pinched her nose. The feeling of adrenaline making her hum and sing an offbeat note. Like usual, the man beside her was frightened, but she focused on one thing,

'Everything from the way we search for titans to the way we take them down is dependent upon individual methods.'

She began to compare him to herself, 'Oooah! This is starting to get interesting!'


Meeting


Indeed it was getting interesting. The way he twirled in the air, he looked so mean. She needed to know him!

Levi was walking on his own. Training was over, Mike was gone, and now he was focused on Isabel and Farlan. Where were they? They knew he had an individual training today, surely Farlan wouldn't be an idiot and pursue Erwin again. Plus, Levi had gotten dirty. He was cleaner living underground then being in the scout regiments-

No, he wasn't alone. Levi slowed his pace, his head never turned but his stoic eyes snapped to the side. A glance behind him, and nothing. Obviously, they were being sneaky. Now he was pissed, his chin lowered, allowing his black, mid-parted bangs to cast a shadow over his cold eyes. He decided to play a game with his pursuer. So he headed down a road with boxes to block the path. He weaved through swiftly, and so did his shadow, but a sharp turn to the right, he whipped around just in time to see-

Crash! 'Ow...'

Idiot, he knew the person was dumb, but not clumsy. Then he saw who it was, and it all made sense...Hange.

'What do you want?' The irritated male spoke blatantly. Looking unimpressed at the tall woman doubled over a wooden box. 'Even when I'm on the ground, you're still short.' Hange laughed. Oh great, it was another higher rank to annoy him. But Hange's next move shocked him, and spooked him.

'Ah! Hange Zoe! I witnessed your training earlier and I found your skills accelerating!' Hange stood up tall, like she respected him, and held out her hand. Levi's arms crossed, his head titled and he stood awkwardly. Cold eyes burning into the researchers dusty, spotted, glasses. They look like shit. Why is she wearing glasses that look like shit?

'Levi.' His narrowed eyes widened a bit, looking down at Hange's big hand. They were tanned, stained, and just looked dirty. Shitty hands. Without another word, he turned around, rejecting her handshake,

'Wash your hands first'. It was the nicest thing he could've said to her actually..she was only trying to be nice to him.

Idiot.


Tea Enthusiasts


He was like Keith. That's what what it was. Except, he was 162 cm tall, and didn't yell as much. But intimidating all the same! According to Erwin, the 'thug trio' had never seen a titan, and tomorrow will be their first expedition.

Hange was wandering the lawn of the Survey Corps, and then she saw him. Levi was kneeling down in front of the plant, clippers in his hand and snipping away at the stems. He closed his slim eyes, took in a breath, his lips tugged at the corners in a light smile- 'Ahhh! What are you doing, don't cut my leaves!' Hange screamed. Though the other soldiers noticed, no one cared when Hange acted crazy, that was nothing new.

Levi shot Hange a glare as she ran and stumbled, gripping her red hair frantically. 'Those tea leaves are to be used for our titan guests!'

'Titan guests? Idiot.' Levi spat, 'We have no titan captors.'

'But we will. And tea will sedate them, don't cut it!' Hange scrambled forward and went to snatch the scissors. She was bigger than Levi, of a manlier build, but Levi was fast and stood up. 'Shut up.'- she was the only high ranking solider who allowed his insults -'It's for tea.'

'I know it's for tea!' Hange was furious, crushed, her face was red and she knelt before the pruned plant in another shout. Levi dug his fingers into her hair, grabbing her ponytail and snapping her head in his direction. Her hair was probably filled with so many germs, it was hard to focus on what he was gonna say. All the while, his expressionless face stayed the same. 'I said shut up. I pruned it at the node so they'll grow back.'

Hange was shocked, 'You know how to prune?'

'Levi-bro! Is the tea ready!?' It was Isabel, and she waved her arm excitedly. Levi leaned up and turned to his friend. Hange continued to blush, he was simply amazing. Just too amazing. She wanted to...she just wanted to study him more.

'Levi. Can I have some tea too?'


One closed door, can open a new one


They were finally back from the expedition. Hange hadn't seen Levi at all since departure, but she still heard the news...everyone did. He had lost his friends, his siblings, and yet became stronger. He single-handedly took out an abnormal, and became humanity's strongest from their deaths.

It made sense why Erwin was glad to have recruited him. Hange walked through the walls, papers in her arms. Even though he was mean, she found a care for him. 'Levi?' Hange called softly. Stopping before a vacant room, Levi was sitting on the floor, a duster in his hand, but he wasn't cleaning, he wasn't even in his cleaning gear. 'Levi?' Hange called again, staring at his back. He didn't respond, in fact he never would.

Hange ran forward, sliding on her knees until she reached him. He was sulking, he probably had no tears left to cry. He just sat there horrified. 'Isabel. Farlan.'

'Levi?' Hange questioned, leaning over to catch his attention. But Levi was too astonished, then all of a sudden, 'You smell.'

Hange poked her lip out, but she knew she had to deliver Erwin's good news. She held out her hands, and Levi looked down. He saw something shocking, her hands were spotless. They were washed, why? What was it for? Hange slowly grabbed his hands, taking them into her own.

'You've been promoted.'


Science?


Levi walked through the dark hallway. He was still pissed at Hange. She endangered her comrades, endangered her life! Though he told her he didn't care if she ended up as titan feces, her scientific reply made his insides bubble in anger. Titans can't defecate my ass! Yet, he still worried for her safety. Unnecessary deaths were his pet peeve, and her's would've been detrimental to society.

He made it to her dorm, not caring to knock for she wouldn't answer anyway, actually, she was asleep! Levi was at first taken back by the clutter, the dust, the pile of sheets. He pinched his nose and shuffled over to the sleeping Hange. He saw her over her desk, a letter beside her face. He glanced over it, it was for Erwin, a request to capture titans. 'Tch. Persistent idiot.'

'Levi?' Hange murmured, sitting up and looking like a fucking zombie. 'Were you reading my letter? Are you interested?''

'No.' He replied bluntly.

'Then, why are you in my room?' Now she got him. Why was he in her room? To apologize? No. To see what she was doing maybe. 'You are interested aren't you Levi?' Hange was now fully awake- was she even asleep?- her lips rolled in and she began to blush. 'You're curious Levi, I knew this day would come!' She began to hum. Levi stared down at Hange in a bored glare, but Hange only grabbed the cuff of his sleeve.

'Curious about the capture of titans?!'

This was it, and he did it to himself...


Clean freak


It was a clear day. And Levi felt good. He drank a full cup of tea, and avoided Hange all morning! The Corporal was in his new office, but was disgusted at the dirt build up. So he put on his cleaning gear, a cloth to protect his neatly trimmed hair, a cloth for his mouth, and began dusting. He pushed open the windows and spent a moment to wipe down the window seal.

'Levi!~' Hange burst through the door of his office, her arms wide and wearing a broad smile.

'What do you want shitty glasses?' Levi responded in anguish. He was used to Hange being overly excited, but today he wanted nothing to do with her.

'Shitty glasses oh? Well in that case, cleanilness freak, I have some news!'

Cleanliness freak? Levi was quick to insult, but wasn't quite used to being insulted. 'Go away Hange.'

'Ah! Don't be so, short-tempered.'

That was it! Levi titled his head, picking up a broom and holding it out. 'You know what? How about you tell me the news. And sweep the floors, dust the cabinets, and arrange the books while you're at it.'

'Oh? But...but' Hange stammered.

'What? I thought you were so excited to tell me the news?' Maybe she'll go away now,

Hange shockingly took the broom and began to sweep. Taking his offer and rambling on about whatever. Levi decided to use this advantage and rest at his desk.

Or learn something..


Two great minds think alike


As if having his squad wasn't bad enough, though he did get to pick quality members, now there was a monstrous kid who could turn into a titan. Levi stood by his desk, reading over papers. In all honesty, he was surprised he could keep Hange managed with a perfect specimen walking around for her to pounce on.

'Levi!~' Hange sung, barging into his office. She was walking with a big ugly smile, and her cheeks already had a red tint to them. 'Where's that titan boy hm? You're not keeping him from me are you!?' She had already started, standing next to Levi - it was times like these when she used her height as an advantage - and placing an arm on his shoulder. 'Hange.' Levi spoke clearly, catching the brunette's attention. He never found her cute, just annoying. Except, when she gave him that look. Her lips were in a small frown, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes gave him all the attention. Just genuine curiosity when he spoke.

'Get your arm off my shoulder.'

'Ah! But come on! I know your curious too!' Hange leaned against him, her hand patting his head and ruffling his hair. Levi growled, swiftly grabbing Hange's collar and jerking her down to eye level. 'Don't touch me without washing your hands first shit glasses! Get off, and get out.' Through his little outburst, Hange only blushed more. But she was no longer looking at him, just the papers on his desk.

'Oh? Are those...blueprints? Were you sketching an experiment with Eren?'

Levi pushed her away, but Hange caught her footing then snatched the paper. 'Oooahh! You were sketching an experiment with Eren!'

'Hange.'

'It says here your theory on cutting him out! You think his limbs will grow back, I thought so too! Oooah!'

'Hange.'

'It's amazing our differences yet we come together in terms of science!'

'Hange!' Levi grabbed her collar again and forced her down. He stared into her excited eyes with cold, stoic ones. Then, he breathed a sigh and released her. Levi stepped back, a hand raising up as he gently patted her head. If almost bashful, he looked away and stared at a bookshelf.

'Gather the others, we're holding a meeting on the experiment.'


I'll always have you


Why was it aways him? Why did it make him stronger? Though all he could do to show his sadness was blink slowly, it wasn't enough to describe the pain tearing away at his heart. She was so beautiful, so innocent, she didn't have to die. He could've saved her...he could hear his own words. The same words he told Eren: Choose...believe in yourself or believe in the survey corps and me. I don't know. I never have. I can believe in my own abilities or the choices in the companions I trust...

Eren did what Levi would've done at the moment, trust in his companions. Levi trusted Petra and left her with the squad, when he should've been there.

So choose for yourself. Whichever decision you regret the least. But he can place his trust in Hange. And somehow, he knows it's the right choice. And he feels Hange can do the same. It seemed, no matter how many he loses, he still has Hange.

'Levi?' Hange called softly.

'No.'

'But, I haven't said anything.'

'I don't need your comfort.' Levi sat by the stone wall of his office, his bangs casting a shadow over his face. It was a good thing too, he looked terrible with dried tears. Hange ran into the room anyway, sliding on her knees and sitting beside him. Levi looked away, sitting with one knee up to balance his arm. 'Levi.' Hange placed her hand on his shoulder, trying to stare into his face.

'What?'

Hange drew closer, he could feel her chest against his arm. 'I'm still your friend right?'

'Don't be an idiot.'

'So then, you'll always have me to trust in.' Her words made his eyes widen in shock. He shuddered and stared horrified at the wall.

'Levi' Hange spoke, but gained no reply.

'You've been promoted.'


Kiss


Hange checked his office. But he wasn't there, she checked the gardens, the hall. She even paid Erwin a visit but he had no idea. The last placed Levi could possibly be was his dorm, but he was never in his dormitory.

Hange checked anyway, twisting the handle and walking into his room uninvited. Levi wasn't startled, in fact, he was annoyed. He was in his dorm, shouldn't someone knock?

'Oh Levi! I was looking everywhere for you!' Hange found herself blushing, never had she seen Levi like this. He was apparently changing clothes, having just put on new pants..he had yet to put on a shirt. Levi didn't care however, giving Hange a glare before grabbing a white shirt. Hange watched his muscles flex with every movement, for a small guy..he was strangely very built. 'What do you want?'

'Well, I...I was hoping you could read over my plans for capture of the female titan. It's a new equipment we could use.'

Levi turned around and walked up to Hange. Taking her folder and glancing over the blueprints. Hange made no attempt to hide her blush, she saw him shirtless and seemed to like it.

'These'll due.'

'Ah! You like them Levi?!'

'I never said that.' Hange had stepped closer, blushing furiously as she leaned forward and poked his nose. 'Yes you do.'

Levi snapped, smacking her hand away and forcing her back. He shut the door and kept Hange pinned to it. Hange, as expected, sulked down to eye level. She didn't look scared, just curious on his next move. 'Levi..?'

Levi stared into her eyes boredly, 'Stop talking.'

Levi wasn't exactly sure what came over him, but he leaned forward until his lips met hers. It was awkward, for all this time he's never properly kissed a person. He liked to show affection by hair pats and hugs. So his kiss ranged from rough to gentle.

When he pulled away, Hange was blushing even more, she had lowered and was now staring up at Levi. 'A kiss? In the...the name of science?'

Levi sighed, that was the worst kiss he could've ever gave to someone! Feeling bashful, he stepped back and gave Hange some room. 'No. Never again, forget that happened.'

'Levi, that was your first kiss was it! But, why me?'

Levi didn't respond, why Hange? He didn't love her, he didn't see a future with himself and her. Levi didn't blush, he couldn't, he just stared at Hange blankly. Then he looked away, 'An experiment.'

'Ah!' Hange's face brightened, 'Well I say that was a failure!'

'I know.'

Hange hummed, grabbing her folder and opening the door. Before she stepped out however, she wanted the last laugh. 'But. I'll always be around for experiment number two.' Then she left.

Levi stared at the door in anguish. Never. There won't be an experiment two.

Choose whatever you regret the least...

Tch.

He made the wrong choice.


WOW this came out longer than expected! But I'm proud of it. I only hope you enoyed it as well! I'm thinking of continuing it so please give me requests! I already have an idea for another chapter so definitely look out for one!
