This story is a fanfiction, not canon and was written by me
"Levi, you like Hange don't you?" Mike suddenly say.
Levi —who was just about to drink his tea— stopped the cup from going to his mouth and gave Mike a disgusted look.
"What the actual fuck, Mike?!" He said in offensive tone. Erwin, who sits in between them, nearly spit his drink.
The three of them was drinking together in Erwin's office. Somehow, it became their Friday's night routine. Just drinking together and talking about something other than the corps, or just enjoying each other company. Tonight is no different than usual, Mike and Erwin with their beer and Levi with his black tea.
Or is it?
"You don't need to lie to us Levi, it's not like we just met yesterday, you know." Mike continue, Levi threw his glance toward the blonde man.
"Us? Don't tell me you were also involved in this shit, Erwin?!" Levi put his tea back to the table and cross his arms.
"I can't talk, then." Erwin answered and raised both of his shoulders up.
Levi rolled his eyes.
"You are too obvious Levi," Mike interupted, "actually, Erwin and I had been talking about you and Hange ever since years ago." Mike continue before drinking his beer.
"Levi, for your information, a lot of soldiers had visited me just to ask about the marriage rules in the Survey Corps. You know why?-" He paused to give a dramatic effect, "-Because they thought that you and Hange were married." Erwin explained before bursting into a laughter.
"Oh damn, that story never fails to amuse me." Mike added with a huge grin in his face.
"Fuck you both." Levi said with stoic face.
"But seriously though, you do like her don't you?" Mike asked in serious tone.
"Of course not! She is not my type." Levi glared at the both of them before leaning back to the chair.
"Sure. That sounds so fake, Levi." Erwin retorts, meanwhile Mike is grinning his heart out.
"Why do you both, and —God fucking know— the whole Survey Corps think that I like her?! Or even married?!" He asked, raising his tone even more.
"So you want to know the reasons why you should marry your love one?" Mike answered, still grinning.
"Jesus, I shouldn't have asked." Levi said, monotone.
"Well, from all of the people you can choose to care, you chose Hange." Erwin stated as he pour the beer into his mug.
"I care for everyone equally." Levi defend himself which make Mike shakes his head.
"You don't visit other person's office as frequently as you do with Hange-" Mike raised his right palm against Levi who was trying to open his mouth, "-we know you always visit her if you got the chance. If you can't visit her, at least you will talk or ask Moblit or Nifa, right? You always making sure that she's fine. You only do that to her, Levi." Mike continue, there's this weird victory smile in his face.
Levi stays quiet.
"Levi, I noticed that despite your constant complain about her, you never leave her." Erwin added, giving him a playful smile.
"You even bathed her, talk about love." Mike said, giving him a weird look.
Levi sighed, "you both are drunk."
Mike and Erwin shake their head.
"Don't try to change the subject, Levi." Erwin said with a smile.
"I care because that damn woman is not capable of taking care after her own ass." Levi tried to reasoning his action.
"She have Moblit who always ready for her everyday and everytime." Mike challenged him.
"That poor man already went insane because of her, I'm just helping," Levi replied.
"Hey, do you smell it? The smell of bullshit." Mike added, leaning forward.
"Funny." He answered, as flatly as possible. "There's no way I like her, we are completely fucking different," he told them.
"Not really. You both have similar sense of humor —weird sense of humor to be exact— and you also gave each other nicknames." Mike stated, like it was obvious.
"For someone who prefer to work alone, you do perform a great teamwork with Hange... and also, bear in mind that opposite attracts exist." Erwin added his own statement. He and Mike exchange victorious glance and toast their mugs.
"Eat shit." Levi said, his frown grows deeper. Meanwhile, Mike and Erwin ignored him and laughed at their own statements. Then, there's a silent. Not the awkward one, but the pleasant one.
"The way you look at her-" Erwin suddenly said, he paused to move his mug to stir the liquid inside. "-is the same look Nile give to his wife," he continue.
"Shit, Erwin. You miss your old friend that much, huh?" Levi said in sarcastic tone.
"It's true. Eyes can not lie." Mike added in a soft voice.
Levi stand up, "that's it! I give up." he said as he makes his way out.
"Levi." Erwin called immediately, "are you afraid that Hange is indeferent toward your feeling?" he asked.
Levi stopped, but still keeping his eyes foward.
"No... That's not it." Levi immediately cursed himself, he shouldn't have said that.
Erwin and Mike were suprised at the answer, they both looked at each other for a second before Erwin continue.
"Nevertheless, you don't have to be afraid about Hange's feeling. We guarantee you!" Erwin said, Mike nodded in agreement.
Levi did not say anything.
"Levi..." Erwin called him again, this time much more softer. "We are getting older everyday... and the war is still far from over, we don't know when and where we will die. I know the rules and the war may forbids you to take a big step. Or even your past may also prevent you from doing so. But ... that doesn't mean you have to lie to yourself." he told him.
"Don't do something you would regret later." Mike advised him.
"I know about regret." Levi said before he went out.
...
"So, can we call that a success?" Erwin asked before finishing the final gulp. Mike scratch his hair, "maybe? We did plant the seed though."
There was a silence after that.
"Erwin." Mike suddenly mentioned him, Erwin stared at him with puzzled look. "For someone who chose titan over woman, you do give the best advice." Mike stated, he smiles lightly.
Erwin chuckled, he stares at his empty mug. "We do learn from experience, don't we?" he replied, with a soft smile.
"Do you still love her?" Mike questioned him.
"Lord, Mike! That is a hard question." he laughed as he answered. The laughter subsided and the room went silent, "but... if reincarnation does exist, if there's a time where we can live in freedom... I will definetely marry her." he added. Mike stared at him quietly.
"Wow... Sorry,Mike... I think... I'm drunk." Erwin said, lowering his head. Mike sighed before taking all the glass and bottle away from the table. He notices that Levi didn't finish his tea, that is unusual. He also notices the way Erwin is leaning against the table with his right hand, eyes wandering to somewhere out there.
He smiles to himself.
People become pathetic and stupid when they are in love.
Suddenly, a figure of woman with a blonde hair appeared at his mind.
Mike smiles.
He is no exception.
