I unlocked the door to my new apartment. I moved in to this new complex only about 3 days ago so I could be closer to work, it only takes about 30 minutes: 5 minutes to walk to the subway, about a 20 minute ride on the subway, and the last 5 minutes to walk to to the actual work building. I've barely unloaded anything, so I opened to door to a huge, nice pile of 'Eren get your lazy ass up and unpack' boxes.

I gave a dramatic sigh, locked the door and plopped down on the couch in the main room of my apartment; I was grateful that the guys who helped me move in offered to move the couch in at a discounted price.

Although it was only 9:00pm, I was completely exhausted. As if being harassed by my boss all day, memorizing drawing schemes, and drawing until my hand cramped up wasn't enough, I couldn't have just simply exited the workplace like a normal person; No, my sadistic boss had turned the office lights off and left me to figure my own way out of an unfamiliar place while threatening to take away from my paycheck at a job which I would not have selected even if it was the last one on Earth.

I was just mentally and physically exhausted; Soon enough, I was able to let myself drift into a soft slumber.

Nyah, time to wake up, Eren! Nyah, time to wake up, Eren!
A high-pitched female voice pierced through my dreams. Nyah, time to wake up, Eren!
"Ugh, I know, I know.", I sleepily replied as the voice repeated itself and pestered on. No alarms really wake me up in the morning since I've grown accustomed to constantly ignoring them; So, I found this alarm of this cute Neko girl pestering me to get my stubborn self up and so far it's worked every time, I mean who wouldn't wake up to some sexy kitty girl's voice calling you awake?

I rubbed my eyes and grabbed for my phone to shut the sweet, yet annoying, voice off. The current time is 6:30 am and work begins at 8. I yawned and stretched, letting a couple of dinosaur noises escape my mouth. I dragged myself into the bathroom and turned on the shower; some cold water should definitely help me get myself together.

After the cold water sent an electric shock down my spine and caused me to spazz and almost slip and fall on my face, I was finally able to collect myself. After drying my hair, brushing it, brushing my teeth, and the rest of such morning activities, the clock struck 7.
I set the coffee pot and allowed myself to mentally prepare myself for the hell which has yet to come. Within a couple of minutes, the coffee's sweet aroma filled the room. I grabbed my thermos metal cup and poured the coffee in. Tasting it, bitterness stimulated my senses, causing me to grimace; I like sweet things, and this was definitely anything but. Adding 3 spoonfuls of sugar and some milk, I grabbed a banana to go along with my coffee and dashed out to the subway.

After the subway's hectic morning turmoil and more time elapsing, I arrived in front of Hell's building. Sighing deeply once again, I gathered myself and walked into the building, taking the elevator up to my designated office, not the correct office because I'm supposed to be writing stories not drawing useless heart-throb stories; I clenches my thermo-cup as I spurted fumes alone in the elevator.

Ding.

The large oh-so-familiar number two appeared above the now-opening elevator doors.

"Have you read over the plan?"
"You know this is due in two weeks right?!"
"Shit, we're back in this stage again!"
I heard many different voices have a discussion in the manga office from outside in the hall. Walking in, I was taken aback by the amount of people present, waaayy more than yesterday.

"Hey, it's the new kid!", the woman named, if I recall correctly, Hanji exclaimed, causing everyone else to cease their matters. She rushed over to me and wrapped her arm around my shoulders, forcing me forward into the crowd of unfamiliar faces.
"We're having a newbie help us draw out our new highly-anticipated manga?", a man with blonde and black hair scowled, "Is this seriously some kind of joke? You realize if we screw up we can all lose our jobs, right? What the hell is Levi thinking?!"
"Tch, shut it horse face.", a woman with short black hair shushed. "Ignore him, he's just a full-time asshole.", she smiled and reached out a hand to be shaken. "I'm Mikasa Ackerman, pleased to make your acquaintance!". I shook her hand, smiling back. "I'm Eren Jaeger, the pleasure's all mine."
"Guh", 'Horse face' seemed repulsed; Well, I can tell that we're going to become the best of friends...

"Sorry you couldn't meet everyone yesterday, Eren, we went around surveying girls at malls and bookstores to get their opinions of what really makes them swoon~!", Hanji spoke, reminding me that there was still someone hanging onto me. She must have seen the confusion on my face because she quickly continued her previous statement: "Well, solely to improve our story, of course! We entertain the readers with what their hearts desire, after all!"
I replied with a weary smile.
"Anyways, this is our full crew!", she began pointing to everyone and introducing them. "Here we have: Petra, Connie, Sasha, Mikasa..."the people in turn gave off a casual "Hey", or "Hello", and a smile. "And, Jean", Hanji finished, losing her cheerfulness and narrowed her eyes; Jean just crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

Once intros were done with, Hanji allowed me to sit at my personal desk and consume my breakfast: The coffee and banana.

"Alright, I'm hopeful that everyone remembers what today is", a new voice announced. I was able to identify it all too well, especially for the short amount of time that I've known it.
Before I could swivel my chair around, I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw someone lean in to the right side of my face. Looking over, it was of course no other than the nefarious Levi Heichou, giving his famous sadistic smirk. "So, you like bananas, do you~?", he teased, whispering into my ear. Shocked, I began choking. Chuckling, Levi began walking away towards to what I assumed was his desk, which was bigger than everyone else's. "Careful now, don't take in more than you can swallow.", he said in a sultry yet low tone so no one else could hear over their chatter.
"E-excuse me?!" I blurted out, causing the side discussions to discontinue. Levi was now setting his briefcase on his desk, changing to the stern, stoic expression he has when we first met the other day; Was this my punishment for that spectacle?! Because 1) that was surely not my fault, and 2) This is much worse than that little misdemeanor.
"I said try not to die before the real work actually begins.", Levi sternly replied, obviously lying.

Oh please, Levi, dying right now would be a given blessing.
