Here's another one-shot. This one is more on the cute side, just a simple day in the Survey Corps! But of course, Hanji always brings the fun! She convinces Petra to help her get Levi to smile..

Author's Note: I'm going to be switching from Hange to Hanji and back. They're the same thing, and so I'm just going to use both just to show respect.

Levi Smile!

It was lunchtime. The men and women were taking their swell time eating and socializing as always. Though usually in his office with tea around this time, Levi was growing curious about his new squad's social aspects. How they interacted around others and each other. He walked with good posture, going towards his usual spot in the shade and away from all the commotion. He past by Petra's backside, instantly the young girl swerved around to greet him, "Heichou.."

"Ah! Petra!" Hanji's annoying voice was getting higher as she approached them. Levi did not turn a shoulder, but his irises shifted right to catch a glance at the titan-obsessed woman.

Petra, being new and innocent, stood up tall, her hands in a proper salute. "Hanji San."

At that, Levi rolled his eyes. He continued to walk on, but slowed his pace a little. "Oh? Hanji...San? Petra aren't you cute!" Hanji leaned over and gave Petra, short Petra a hard pat on the back. It made the poor girl lurch forward and her teeth clenched. "Hanji-"

"So! How are things for you now hmm? Levi's squad can be tough work." Hanji leaned forward, cupping a hand over mouth to whisper, "Plus he's as short as his temper."

Levi snapped, now he had his backed turned, arms crossed and was propped against the wall. He couldn't hear the two women clearly, not with all this raucous, but they were up to no good. Petra blushed and stumbled back, "Actually Hanji San. Being handpicked by Heichou is a great honor. He recognized my skills and he isn't all that bad of a leader!" Petra's arms stuck to her sides as she tried to stand tall again. Her voice loud and clear. Levi had heard and rolled his eyes. Again with the heichou business...

"Isn't all that bad of a leader? He isn't all that bad when he isn't handing you a duster!" Hanji made herself laugh, propping an arm up on Petra's head. The brunette stopped short and peered down at the blonde, she began to whisper again and Levi could no longer hear. "I wonder if that guy even smiles. "

"Heichou..smiling?" Petra murmured back. The hell with all this whispering! Women, so hard to decipher. Hanji perked up again, "Ahh! Idea! We should get Levi to smile. Ahehehe, if we study his every move. Seek out his likes and dislikes, we'll be sure to find something!"

Whatever Hanji was saying made her extremely happy, her eyes bore a red aura, and she wore that creepy ass smile again. Petra was at first taken back, then glanced up in thought.

"I don't think that's possible. Or appropriate but.."

"I'll see yah tomorrow then!" Hanji had already begun to walk away. Levi was left feeling bored, annoyed, yet intrigued at whatever Hanji and Petra came up with. He'll find out soon enough..

Hanji had woken up early. She highly anticipated Petra waiting for her in the courtyard, and would be bummed with the short teen if she didn't show. Hanji walked in a march, a smile on her face as an expected Petra showed up. "Hanji san."

"Petra."

The two women stared at each other, then Petra clapped a fist onto her palm. "Heichou likes tea. Like, a lot. I'm sure he smiles when he gets his first sip."

"Smiling with tea?" Hanji looked up at the clouds. She visually picture and relaxed Levi, sitting back with a mug and an invisible smile. "Perfect Petra! It's early, go ahead and make his tea!"

"Wha- me!?"

"Yes!"

"Why?" Petra crossed her arms and Hanji patted her head. She stared at Petra in almost a sadistic manner, "Because. I. Can't. Make it. Go on now!"

Things were going as planned, Petra prepared tea and Hanji met her before Levi's office. Petra walked in innocently, with a bubbly smile. "Your tea heichou!"

Levi didn't even glance up, he just continued reading. "I never asked for tea.".

"I figured at this hour you wouldn't have a cup so..." Petra set the tea down, and as planned, walked over to stand by the door. Levi still didn't glance up, he grabbed his mug and Hanji poked her head from behind the door.

Levi didn't seem to notice, he made an assumption that Petra had left and raised his cup to his face. Petra couldn't help it, she seemed more into this experiment than Hanji was. Her eyes widening in anticipation. Hanji's lips parted and so did Levi's. He sniffed the smoke, then finally tipped the cup forward.

The first sip of tea. It was to be soothing, calm, and bring a casual demeanor. Levi sipped, then leaned back. Half of Petra's body was in the room, wanting to appear like she was leaving. Hanji pressed forward.

Levi's eyes softened and began to close. His lips began to stretch, ever so slightly.

"Petra."

Petra gasped, "SIR!"

"This tea. It's bland," Levi opened his eyes piercing eyes and shot Petra glare. "Make a new batch, now."

Petra had to walk the walk of shame, holding her failed batch of tea. Hanji gripped the girl's shoulder so tight it made her flinch. "You added no sugar!"

"I forgot! You had me so nervous." Petra dumped out her batch, "Petra!" Hanji whined.

The tall brunette pinched her nose and hummed. "I know! Individual methods."

"Impossible." Petra's cheeks were rosy, Hanji grabbed the girl's shoulders. She had just about lifted the poor girl off her feet, "We have to! Levi only enjoys two things."

"Killing titans and cleaning?" Petra said, now on her toes. "Wrong! Clipping tea leaves and cleaning."

A new plan was in motion. Petra was on cleaning duty, sticking close to Levi, keeping her nice posture. She was sure to get Levi to smile here. Hanji waited for the blonde in the courtyard amongst the other soldiers. Petra caught up eventually, her hair a bit out of place, and her lungs out of breath from all the running.

"No luck. Levi kept the cloth over his mouth."

"You couldn't see a smile in his eyes?" Hanji questioned, her hands balling into fists. Petra gasped, brushing her hair out with her own fingers. "I didn't look."

Hanji grew red, but it wasn't of anger, more of growing excitement.

It was Hanji's turn, she found Levi walking the grounds. As normal as she could be, she walked up to the short male. Levi sensed her behind him, but didn't bother to greet her. His eyes were low and he wore an annoyed scowl. "Levi~"

No response, so Hanji continued. She cupped her hands before her and leaned over the corporal's shoulder. "Nice day isn't it?"

"So?"

"The tea bushes are ready to prune."

As expected, Levi's attention was averted. Now less annoyed, but still stoic, he followed Hanji to the fields. He had removed his Survey Corps jacket, setting it aside and began rolling his sleeves up. He sat on his knees, taking a simple knife and began prune. Hanji followed suit, clipping at the stems. She watched Levi carefully, he wore the same expression, no indication that he was even enjoying this.

"The tea leaves smell good now don't they?" She urged.

Levi furrowed his eyebrows, then gently sniffed a leaf. "If only soldiers could smell as good as tea leaves."

Whether an indication for Hanji to leave or not, she ignored him and actually shuffled closer. "Ah! Levi! I thought you enjoyed pruning?"

She pressed a palm down onto Levi's head. His silky hair bunching in between her fingers. Levi froze, his eyes peering up at the woman above. "Why does that matter to you four eyes?"

"Your so tense these days, can't something make you happy?"

Levi was utterly confused, but he did a good job at not showing it. Instead, he sighed and closed his eyes. "Don't make me throw your face down into this muddy dirt."

"Oh? Levi." Hanji's lips dragged in a frown, she removed her hand and lowered to eye level. "You really can't be happy can you?"

Levi wore a bored expression, his free hand raised. At first it looked like he was going to poke her forehead, but then his fingers grasped the bridge of her glasses. Or in this case, the goggles she wore whenever going into battle. He wasn't sure why she would wear them now, on a peaceful day like this..but for the moment, they worked in his favor. "Actually, I can be."

His fingers leisurely pulled the goggles out towards him, Hanji's face contorted in simple confusion, but Levi's expression stayed the same.

SNAP! Once as far as the leather straps allowed the goggles to go, Levi released them and they slapped back onto Hanji's face.

Immediately, the brunette grasped her nose and jetted out a howl. She rolled back until she fell on her side, now her shouts weren't so much from the pain, but from shock and excitement. Levi watched her, looking unimpressed before standing up. "Tch. I didn't even pull to it's full extent." He grasped his armful of tea stems and began to walk away, not liking all the attention in his direction.

Petra stared up at Hanji and sighed. Now the brunette was wearing her normal glasses, but they didn't hide the red mark that was left over. "Oh well, I guess it isn't possible.."

"No! It is. He said it himself."

"He did?!" Petra's sudden excitement fed Hanji's craziness. "And I, will make it..happen."

All day everyday Hanji followed after Levi. Like a puppy begging for love. And all day everyday, Levi treated her like a shadow. He didn't like the growing attention, even when Hanji tried not to be seen. So he often ignored her more.

"Leeeeviii-eeee!~" Hanji sang, running down the hall towards his office. She ran so fast she actually passed the doorway and had to walk backwards.

She walked inside but was shocked to see it empty. "Levi-oh?" It was late night, she knew from enough observation that Levi would certainly not be asleep. But, he wasn't in his office.

She observed his desk and saw that some papers were incompleted. "Neh. Not like Levi to leave unfinished work on an early night?" A flutter of wings caught her attention. The brunette turned to see a white dove taking flight from the roof. Instantly Hanji made her way up the stairs, as she walked onto the roof, she spotted a finger sitting on the stone wall staring outward.

"Levi.?" Hanji spoke, walking over and sitting beside the male on a stump.

"Che. I knew you'd pop up here." Levi balanced an arm on his knee.

Hanji sat on her own knees, watching Levi stare up at the sky. "The sky is dark tonight. The clouds are blocking the stars." He observed, Hanji looked up as well. As her eyes lowered she noticed a miniscule, pleasant line where Levi's lips were.

It was too small for a real smile, but the peasantry made Hanji beam. "Levi!"

"Huh? What?" Levi questioned, looking down at Hanji from the sky.

"You're smiling!" Hanji went to touch his shoulder but hesitated.

Levi sighed, but it wasn't of annoyance or anger. "I was thinking."

"Thinking?"

"Yes. Thinking about the past, I don't regret my choice. Regretting it might've made it a sad memory. Now I can come up here and think about the memory..with no regrets at all." Levi gave a smirk, a thoughtful smirk. Hanji smiled broadly and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Her face mashed against his own, but their expressions were mere opposites. Her's was filled with excitement, and his was of pure shock. "Levi you!"

She hugged and jerked him until satisfied then pulled away. Levi's eyes went wide, then they lowered as his lips parted in a square smile. "Ha. You're crazy."

Hanji had told Petra the next day. Petra was a little jealous, but Hanji certainly put more effort into making it happen than she did. And they parted ways there. Hanji however, wondered what really made Levi smile?

It was so odd and random. Then she remembered that date. It was the date of the day before Levi's first expedition. When he had his two friends.

So he was simply reminiscing...and Hanji's appearance added to the memory.

To that good, refreshing memory.

AND FINISHED. I am very pleased with this chapter and I hope you are too! Just to clear up, I added a bit of No Regrets in here. So if you haven't seen the OVA you probably won't get the whole reminiscing memory thing.

Basically, the night before Levi's first expedition he, Isabel and Farlan are sitting on the roof looking up at the stars. I found it a beautiful moment and Levi actually...get ready for it...smiles! So yeah, I kind of paid tribute to that.
