Ok so I recently have gotten a little bit obsessed with Attack on titan, and a friend and I were talking about something along these lines, so this is really for him.
I hope you enjoy!

Closely guarded secrets.
It was a cold, bitter winter's night at the Survey Corps Headquarters, everyone was tucked in cosy and warm in their beds and dreaming of a peaceful place, a place unlike the one they actually lived in. A place of death, destruction and sorrow which created an unnerving atmosphere with an uncertain future for mankind itself which breathed down everyone's neck and plagued their minds. All of those inside the giant walls that stood tall and strong, a barricade that protected humanity from the terrifying monsters that lay beyond them, waiting for some foolish, hopeful souls to come out of those gates; men and women that wanted those flesh eating creatures eradicated from this world.
One individual awoke deep in the basement he laid, eyes screwed tightly shut as he tossed and turned, clutching his stomach and one eye opened slightly. One turquoise green eye stared at the wall for a moment before he pulled back the blankets and slowly raised to his feet. He groaned and raised a hand to his head, his figures ran through short, tousled chocolate brown strands upon his head.
"Damn, not this again, my stomach…why can't this just buzz off? Every month this happens" He muttered as he got up and walked to the kitchen to get a drink. His name was Eren Jeager a young man who was no ordinary man, he was in fact was a young women disguising herself as a man. She stumbled into the kitchen and walked towards the cupboards, she searched through them for something that could aid to ease her stomach pains but found nothing. She was concentrating solo on searching through the wooden shelves within the cupboard to find something, a drink, bite to eat just something that will help settle the pain. She was spooked as suddenly a voice behind her spoke up.
"Brat, what are you doing up so late?" A masculine and strict tone spoke in a mellow volume so no one else could hear apart from Eren. This made Eren jump and a slight rose shade covered her checks, she knew that voice well and the strict tone and turned around hoping the darkness would hide her rose shaded cheeks.
"Corporal….what are you doing here?" She asked as she changed her pitch of tone to create a deeper voice which she used to sound like herself that at least her superior knew. She could hide her physical feminine features with an oversized shirt, and building her muscle through training which helped too.
"Oi, that doesn't answer my question." He said as he folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, his silver eyes staring coldly at her through the darkened kitchen.
"I was just looking for something to drink sir, I haven't been sleeping and hoped a warm or cold drink would help me fall asleep." She explained hoping her captain found her reasoning satisfactory.
The man she was talking to was her superior, he was somewhere around in his thirties and had short raven black hair that reached the top of his neck, his sharp cold, steel eyes continued to stare at her with a neutral expression. His name was Levi Akerman, he was known as humanities strongest solider. "Humanities hottest solider." Was what Eren thought in her mind.
After a few tense moments he unfolded his arms and walked towards her. Eren froze on the spot as he came closer and contemplated to herself "Play it cool Jeager….don't stare at him, that'll be weird." She thought to herself but she couldn't stop staring at the way he moved, he was shorter than her by a couple of inches, his eye level was just blow hers and hand to look up slightly. Eren watched as his hair shinned slightly in the moonlight which shine through the small glass window, she thought he was gorgeous. "No Jeager, you can't have him, you want to be seen as a guy remember? You want to be respected and blend in with the men." She thought to herself once again and needed to bare this in mind.
Levi sighed slightly as he passed Eren, he had to stand upon his toes to reach into the cupboards he pulled out a box of tea which was just within his reach and placed it on the wooden top just below his waist and then carefully pulled out two china ceramic cups and set them down beside the box of tea.
"How many?" He asked as he crouched down to the cupboards below where the kettle, pots and pans were kept. Reached his arm into the cupboard and gripped his figures round the thin metal handle of a cast iron tea pot and carefully took it out. Levi walked over to the sink and filled the kettle with cold water, once filled just enough for two servings, he turned the tap off and set it onto the stove to heat the water, the fire was already burning so he didn't need to bother placing more logs and light it.
"Huh?" She asked as she blinked and tilted her head slightly in confusion, she was too busy staring at his nice round ass to actually be paying attention to Levi's words and when he spoke she didn't understand what he meant.
"Brat do not make me repeat myself countless times." He snapped, although it wasn't anger in his tone just irritation and annoyance that he had to repeat himself. With another sigh he decided to let it slide, just this once though it was truly clear how dense Eren was and proved she had the mental capacity of a four year old child. Even in his irritated and annoyed state, he asked Eren in a calm manner "How many tea spoons of sugar would you like?"
"Oh um two please?" She asked, she'd never actually drunk tea before so she didn't know what to expect. Would the Corporal hate her if she disliked his favourite beverage? Especially when he himself made it for her?
Levi nod slightly and up the box of tea and took two tea bags out placing one in each cup, he then walked to the set of kitchen draws and open the top one which had the cutlery in neatly organized. He took out a tea spoon and closed the draw, returned to the two cups and reached into the cupboard once again to get the bag of sugar and took two tea spoons full and placed it into one of the cups. Levi didn't have a fondness for sugar in his tea as he preferred the bitter tenderising taste of the tea leaves. The kettle soon whistled, Levi picked an old but clean cloth he used the cloth to hold the hand of the kettle and took it off the stove, he walked over to the counter and poured the hot water into the cups, he finished the tea by adding a small amount of milk and then handed Eren the cup of warm tea which had the sugar in it. "Don't make a mess, I won't be cleaning up your shit especially at this time of night" He said in a calm manner.
Eren tentatively took the warm cup out of his hold. "Thank you Corporal." She said softly as she pulled out a chair to sit down and take her first sip of the hot beverage. Eren closed her eyes lightly as the liquid slid smoothly down her throat and warmed her stomach nicely.
Levi leaned back on the counter and tenderly sipped his own cup, the pair drank in silence, it wasn't an uncomfortable or awkward silence either, it was a comfortable one. She felt safe with the Corporal, even if he had beat her in room full of people that wanted her dead. The scouts wanted her alive which filled her with content and relief, she was allowed to continue to pursue her goal in life.
Levi finished his cup fairly quickly, he cleaned the wooden top and tidy away the box of tea, sugar and milk before he walked over to the sink and poured away the last bit of hot water that was left in the kettle and put it away, and he also washed up his cup and put that away soon after. Levi casually passed Eren once again and ceased at the door. "We're cleaning tomorrow, be up and ready otherwise I will come down to your sorry excuse for a room and drag you out, even if you're in your boxers. And if you're still sleeping, it'll be stable duty for a month" Levi said in a cold tone and serious expression "Also wash up your cup once you have finished brat and put it away" He said as he last few words to her before walking out of the room, leaving Eren to stare at the spot that he just occupied, her cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink upon her cheeks.
Alright so that's everything!
I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you next time!
