Hi guys, here's the first official chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Levi tied his cravat with immaculate precision before purposefully exiting his room, closing the door behind him. He walked straight to the mess hall and once inside, he took a seat with his tea, waiting for the liquid to cool down. At the back of the hall Blouse, Springer and Bott were sat together laughing at a joke that one of the brats had made. The young blonde girl, Krista, was sat with the taller brunette whose name had escaped Levi's memory. Ackerman and Arlert were sat, with the new trainee, Beth, their own table looking annoyed at the two teenage boys arguing again. It was always Jaeger and Kirschtein fighting over who was cowardly or suicidal. Personally, Levi agreed with Jaeger; if you don't fight, how can you dare to complain about the shitty situation that the world is in.

Just as Levi was about to get up and kick those brats' asses and load them with cleaning duties for spoiling his breakfast, he saw both teenagers go flying in to the walls on the opposite sides of the room, simultaneously grunting in pain. In the place where they were previously stood, a small girl, about 5'1, took their place. Levi recognised her petite frame. Her curly black hair hung down her back, the sides held up by a butterfly hairpin. The grey eyes showed annoyance at the two boys and they immediately pulled themselves off the ground and saluted the girl, despite being older than her. She stared at them both and gave a sharp nod of her head to signal for them to relax.

"What the hell are you two playing at?" she questioned, angling the question to Eren more than Jean. As usual, the former chose to explain the situation.

"We were having a debate." The brunette answered firmly.

"I'm not a mind reader Jaeger, what was so important for you to both debate about that it had to interrupt my morning?" Jean decided that it would be a smart idea to mutter his own reply under his breath before Eren had a chance to give an answer.

"About how Jaeger's a suicidal bastard…" Emily's eyes widened at this comment but almost instantly returned to her normal deadpan, making anyone who saw it, think that their mind was playing tricks on them.

"And why is he a 'suicidal bastard' Kirschtein?"

"Because he's so obsessed about killing the damned titans that he's not considering the possibility of us all dying. One of his little suicide missions is going to get us all killed!" Jean more or less shouted at Emily. The whole hall was silent and staring at Jean. Even Sasha's mouth was hung open, gaping at the older teen. Realising his mistake, Jean attempted to stammer a rushed apology at the ever silent Emily who just stared at him for a few moments before speaking.

"To each their own Kirschtein, but if you are interested in hearing my opinion, I'd be willing to share." Jean looked at the smaller girl and slowly nodded.

"Very well. I believe that the titans should be eliminated. Those who choose to fight should be regarded with respect and not criticized for their beliefs. However, fighting these monsters required both skill and a well thought out plan. Rushing in blindly won't do anybody much good." Jean nodded quickly, still regretting his previous outburst whilst Eren's face was lit up with a smug smirk on his face, knowing that he's won this fight. Emily glanced at the two boys once more.

"Now Kirschtein, I believe Jaeger deserves an apology."

"But-" Emily glared at the older, and taller, boy refusing to be intimidated by his height.

"Unless you want to talk to my brother about the situation?" Emily gracefully gestured towards Levi who stared at Jean, slowly taking a sip from his tea.

"Sorry Jaeger" he muttered under his breath. Eren's smirk grew as he struggled to keep in his laughter.

"Good" Emily replied. "Now wipe that smirk off your face Jaeger and get back to your breakfast" she said before taking a seat opposite her brother. Eren's eyes following her across the room.

"You handled that well, not taking sides despite the obvious fondness you hold for Jaeger." Levi commented with his usual straight face. Emily kept her eyes fixated on the wooden table in front of her.

"Tch, I learned from the best and shut up, I do not like Jaeger. He is merely a person whom holds the same opinions as me." Levi scoffed at his sister's reply, standing up as he drained his tea.

"Anyway, you can talk. You've been eying up that girl from the new squad ever since she arrived. Beth, wasn't her name?" Levi's eyes wandered to said cadet as soon as her name was mentioned. She was laughing and joking at her table her blue eyes glinting in the light and her chestnut hair hanging from her shoulders. Levi felt a flare of jealousy inside him as she put her arm around Arlert jokingly. His sister's hand waving in front of his face brought him back to reality.

"Hey, don't go falling for her. We let nobody in, remember? Then we'll be the strongest." Levi nodded in agreement, his own words coming back to haunt him. There were times when he regretted what he's turned his sister into: an empty shell incapable of feeling emotion but he knew that it was for the best. He had to protect her. She couldn't die.

"I'm not falling" he reassured the teen in front of him, "just admiring the view."

Levi knew that he could keep his emotions under control, but he worried about Emily. He missed her joy. Her laughter. Her smile. He knew that she cared for Eren but she hadn't realised it yet. Levi was just waiting for the day when she knocked on his office door in tears because she needed her big brother to help her with her boy troubles. That would make them seem like a normal family, rather than a pair of titan killing machines, owned by the government to do their dirty work. For now, he just had to settle for wanting to punch Jaeger in the face every time he stared at his sister like she was a goddess. Which was a lot… good thing training in the military had allowed Levi to work on his patience issues.

"Jaeger, you're on cleaning duty for the stables this week" Levi said whilst exiting the hall after kissing his sister on the head as their way of saying good luck for the day. He heard the brat gasp in annoyance and ask 'Why?!' but Levi ignored him, smirking to himself. He didn't say his patience was perfect…just better than before.
