Chapter 4: Long Awaited Revenge

The next morning Levi left for the town to get new cleaning supplies. The castle seemed to heave a sigh of relief at his departure, or maybe it was only the occupants. Hanji had enjoyed her conversation with Connie. It was wonderful being able to explain her experiments with a likeminded person, though he did seem less responsive around 4: 45 AM… He had enjoyed himself so much that he had actually burst into tears when she said she needed to go. That had been around 6:30 AM.

Everyone filed in for breakfast. For some reason Jean had traces of tar in his hair and was glaring at Armin. Connie had fallen asleep in his soup. Armin was excitedly talking to Eren about the perfect prank he wanted to play, and how Eren just had to help him pull it off. Ymir was glaring at Sasha and Sasha was giggling. Krista was just shaking her head with amusement.

Mikasa wondered what was getting into her, into all of them. All morning long she's been thinking of how to play pranks on people, even Eren! She took a sip of her water. Like now, Sasha was walking by her with a plate loaded with food, and all Mikasa wanted to do was trip her, but that was a waste of food and it was mean. Mikasa shook her head. It was hard but she was going to ignore these whims. Until she saw Levi leave the castle on horseback. I still haven't gotten that bastard back for what he did to Eren…hmm…I think I'll just go up and pay his office a visit while he's gone… Mikasa went to the kitchen and dumped her plate in the sink. The pantry cupboard caught her eye. If there was one thing that was plentiful, it was honey… She smiled with wicked glee. She opened one of the kitchen drawers and got a ball of string. She then let out an uncharacteristic giggle.

Sneaking into his office and bedroom had been amazingly easy. His door was unlocked. Armed with a big honey jar, glue, a large ball of string, a bucket of dirt (it was actually mud), and plenty of straws of hay, Mikasa stood in the center of his room and started visualizing what she would destroy first. She set everything down and locked the door.

Taking the string she tied one end to the window and looped it in and around the objects on his desk and around his chair. With that same string, she tied it tautly to the bathroom knob (his bathroom door opened inwards, cue maniacal laughter). She then proceeded to his bathroom where she poured a thin string of honey on his toilet seat. She took out his shampoo jar and replaced it with glue. Lucky for her it was the same color. Leaving the bathroom, she headed straight to his bedroom, specifically, his bed. Eren had taught (the hard way) how to short sheet someone's bed, now she was putting that hard learned lesson to good use.

She left the bed and headed over to Levi's closet. She slipped the string into and out of his clothes, tying knots, and generally making a mess. She poured honey all over his closet door knobs and slapped the mud on his boots. Hopefully they would get encrusted by the time he came back. She then proceeded to pour the mud all over his floor and walls, sticking hay all over the place.

With that done Mikasa looked over the rest of her supplies. She had a little bit of glue, string, and honey left. She glued his nightstand drawers shut, and tied his uniform straps in knots. Now, what to do with the string and honey? She straightened up and looked around the room. She smiled.

By the time she was finished, Levi's neat, tidy, and clean room looked like a spider's web of string. She took the bucket, the honey jar, and the glue jar and left.

Mikasa put the now empty honey jar back in the kitchen and the bucket in the stables, however, she put the glue jar under Aururo's bed (Spelling?). Serves him right. Freaking out Eren like that!

Poor Levi. Everything seems to be happening to him lately. Well, I'm really sorry about the long wait. Life is really busy. Moving and no internet can make updating a pain. Anyway, hoped you enjoyed this!
