Later that night, everyone had eaten and a new plan was being executed. Nobody knew the plan except Levi. He thought it up on his own and gave everyone random orders. Nobody really understood how they connected to the plan, but you have to follow orders. He took this into his own hands.

Eren and Mikasa had begun to get up but were stopped before they could reach anywhere.
"Eren. Mikasa. I have a chore for you guys before you go to sleep. Go outside and get the remainder of the fire wood. It looks like it's going to rain and soggy wood is no use." He told them. "Everyone else, you can go." Everyone left the room silently without a question asked. Historia slowed as she entered the hall and looked back. She could have sworn she saw Levi smirk as Eren and Mikasa stepped outside. A breeze brushed them sending chills up their spines. The air was becoming damp and Eren noticed the clouds forming above their heads.
"I guess it actually is going to rain." He said looking over to the tree where the wood rested. "Let's just get this over with."
Levi stood up from his chair as they ran to the tree. Historia was peeking from around the corner. What are you going to do, Levi? She watched him in anxiety as he moved to the door. She could see Eren and Mikasa reach the tree as rain began to pour from the sky. Levi closed the door and locked it.
"What are you doing?" Historia said as she walked out from behind the wall.
"My plan." Levi responded. He walked over to the window and closed the shades.
"Isn't that a bit cruel. Even for you. It's freezing outside, plus it's raining!" She protested.
"Which is why it will work out. Just trust me." He glared at her. She stood frozen. She was confused.
"Think about it, you'll understand." He turned out the dining light and walked to the hall.
"Don't worry about it" he said as he passed her. He stood next to her waiting for a response. She stared at the closed shade. They'll be fine. They have each other.
"…okay" she turned around and went to her room.

Eren kneeled to pick up what was left of the chopped wood. It was freezing outside. He felt a couple drops hit his head and run down his face.
"Shit, it's starting to rain." He said as the drizzle turned to a downpour. They stayed under the tree as a light shelter.
"What now?" Mikasa asked with the wood piled in her arms. Eren really didn't feel like putting up with Levi for getting to wood wet. Without thinking he handed Mikasa his wood and took off his coat. Mikasa exhaled deeply as the weight was added to her load. Eren shivered as he held his coat above Mikasa's head.
"What are you-"
"Just run." They ran from the tree to the front porch. Eren could feel the heavy rain drops strike his coat like bullets as they hustled along the wet grass. Though Mikasa had a heavy load, she managed a steady pace. As they reached the door Mikasa dropped the wood onto the porch. Eren dropped his arms with a big huff. He was soaked along with his jacket. Mikasa tried to turn the knob to open the door. To her surprise, the handle wouldn't budged. She tried twisting it repeatedly until she finally gave in.
"It's locked." she sighed.
"What?" He said, his arms wrapped around him as he shivered. Mikasa turned noticing his chill instantly.
"Eren, you're freezing." She said shaking her own coat off and wrapping it around him.
"I'll be fine, check the windows." He said pushing the jacket back to her. She dropped the jacket and rushed to the windows. She sighed heavily realizing they were all locked and the blinds were closed. She tried knocking on a few, but nobody answered. She ran out through the rain knocking on the rest of the windows. Nothing.
Eren was wringing out his coat as he saw Mikasa come around the corner back onto the porch. She was drenched.
"Nothing" She said with a sigh.
"Mikasa, there was no need to run around the house." Eren said as he threw her jacket around her. Another breeze blew past them sending more chills through them. It was freezing outside, and being soaked didn't help at all.
"I guess we're stuck out here… Come here." He said wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into him.
"Wh-What are you doing?" She asked, her face slightly burning.
"Trying to keep you warm. No need for both of us to get sick." He said sliding down against the wall. They sat against the wall, watching the rain pour. Mikasa took off her jacket and pulled it over the both of them to serve as a blanket.
"Well, I'm not letting you get sick either." She said sinking into him. They yawned and let themselves fall into a cold sleep.

Next morning, Eren was woken by a flick to the forehead. The light was bright enough to blind him as he tried opening his eyes. He blinked until his eyes adjusted to see Levi squatted next to him. Eren tried closing his eyes again, a few more minutes wouldn't hurt.
"Hey, Sleeping Beauties, get up. You still have work you know." Levi said starting to stand. His planned had worked well, but they still had duties to fulfill. Eren moaned as he reopened his eyes. He looked up at Levi.
"Don't take too long. Wake her up too." Levi said motioning to Mikasa. Her head lay on Eren's shoulder, peacefully asleep, taking short, soft breaths. She looked so peaceful, he didn't want to disturb her. But orders were orders. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, Mikasa." Eren said softly, shaking her slightly. Within seconds her gray eyes had begun to show as she slowly sat herself up. She rubbed her eyes and raised her arms to stretch. The jacket fell to her lap as she stretched. She looked over to Eren and Levi.
"Morning." She said in a tired voice.
"Get to work." Levi said, and he was gone within an instant.

As Eren and Mikasa stood up they noticed they weren't alone. Almost everyone was standing out in front of the porch. They were staring, waiting for them to wake up. Eren reached down to grab his jacket off the ground. It was still a bit damp. Eren and Mikasa ignored the others as they walked into the house. They lay their wet clothes out to dry and changed into dry working clothes. Then they remembered the wood was still outside. They burst out of their rooms at the same time and sprinted to the door. To their surprise the wood was gone. Already inside the house.
"Oh, so they lock us out and take the wood in while we're asleep. Cold." Eren said looking at the wood pile in the house.

They went outside into the sun, where it was now warm. A relief from the cold night. Today was a training day. They had to stay active even though they were in hiding. The first task was 10 laps around the field that surrounded the house. Merely child's play compared to the training they did when they were Trainees. "Thanks for letting us in last night. It was freezing." Eren said as he passed by his fellow teammates. Some made faint smiles while others scratched their heads. Mikasa passed by giving them what seemed like a death glare. She didn't mean to do that, she just wasn't too happy, that's all.

After their running they got the afternoon for some rest. Historia pulled Levi aside while everyone was seated at the table during leisure time.
"So, how'd your plan turn out?" She asked curious as to what happened.
"It worked just fine. But this is all I'll contribute to the Plan itself."
"You know they're not happy with us because we didn't let them in. We were following your orders to ignore it, but now they're just plain pissed." She grunted. Ymir had taught her a thing or two on speaking her mind.
"It was only one night in the cold. They'll get over this pretty quickly." Levi stated, then walked away.
"Why do you always do that." She said to herself. As always he had to have the last word. She returned tot he table and saw Eren and Mikasa actually talking to everyone. Maybe Levi was right.
"You know I am." Levi said pretty much reading her mind. She was so predictable. They decided to try making another plan that night after dinner. Levi would put Eren and Mikasa on dish duty so they could discuss the Plan.
