I couldn't Believe what was happening I was sitting outside of the Commander to the Survey Corp's office while THE CAPTAIN LEVI was in there getting permission for me to join. If I was given the chance to be a member of the Survey Corps I would never have to go back to the underground! I could stay above ground for the rest of my life! I couldn't hear what was being said though the door but they sounded agitated with each other, I hope I didn't get Levi in trouble! The door opened and I was called inside. Levi sat back down crossing his legs and slouching in the high backed seat after letting me in. I sat in the seat next to his after being motioned to by the Commander but unlike Levi I didnt make myself comfortable, I sat on the edge of the seat and looked for exit routes just like I did in Levi's office.
"See, told you." Levi said smirking at the commander.
I was confused and I knew it showed on my face.
"Your just like me when i showed up here," Levi stated looking over at me, "looking for escape routes and staying ready to spring into action."
I blushed being compared to Levi, by Levi himself, there was no way I was up to par with him in anyway, he was amazing and so strong. I didn't say anything, hoping one of them would start to lead the conversation not knowing exactly what I should be doing of saying.
"So Erwin, are you really going to let her be sent back to the underground? Like I've said, I'll take full responsibility for her training, she'll be ready before the next time we leave the wall. There wont be any trouble I'll keep her in line." Levi said sitting up and looking at the Commander.
"Fine, I'll make her papers, but if there's any trouble it's on you Levi. Make sure this doesn't come down on all our heads." With that we were dismissed.
Levi didn't say another word to me just motioned for me to follow him, some of the other soldiers gave off strange looks at me but none dared question what I was doing there with Levi beside me barking orders at people about cleaning duties. Well at least this place was kept clean, I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't. I couldn't stand things dirty, I could barely leave my home in the underground from it. And my old job was defiantly something I dreaded going to the three times a week I went. Most days it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get myself out of my house to go, and then I would have been fired and would have starved to death. That was the only thing that kept me leaving my house was the need to survive.
Levi took me to the other side of the castle where it was secluded, "I'm the only one besides Hange who has quarters on this side of the castle, your room will be the one across from mine." Levi opened a door that lead into a modest room with two doors besides the one we came. I guess my assumption of Levi's room being connected to his office was wrong. "Hange's room is three rooms down from ours at the end of the hall, the rooms around hers have been combined to make her a lab for her experiments so you'll probably here noises coming from there."
"Why am I not staying with the other soldiers?" I ask
"Your staying here so I can keep an eye on you, orders from Erwin, he doesn't trust you so I have to keep my eye on you." He replied and turned for his room, "Get your room cleaned up I 'll give you an hour to get things in order then we will go get you some proper fitting uniforms and equipment."
I looked around the dusty room and sighed this was going to take some work. I was just finished cleaning when Levi showed back up to my room exactly an hour later, looking around the spotless room he looked impressed. Not a bit of dust remained and I had rearranged the set up. My desk was no longer under the window it was angled facing out from a corner of the room leaving no room to sneak up on me and the window open for an easier escape if needed. The bed was against the wall facing the door. The bookshelf had been put in the closet to keep the room more open and easy to see everything.
I had just walked out of the bathroom finished cleaning it when Levi had walked in without warning, I shrieked and swung the broom at his face. He ducked and grabbed it preventing another strike. When I saw who I was I went red and dropped the offending object form my grasps. "I'm Sorry Captain Levi! You startled me!"
"Your fine, your cleaning is acceptable lets go." With that Levi turned around and left the room.
I propped up the broom against the wall and hurried after him. After receiving my clothes and weapons Levi took me back to my room to drop off my things. Then we headed down to the meal hall to eat dinner. Levi sat at a table away from everyone and I sat with him. We had a lot of eyes glancing our way but no one dared to say anything in front of captain Levi. After dinner we went back and separated to our separate rooms.
But before I closed my door I heard Levi's voice, "Training begins tomorrow, five don't be late."
