5:00 am
Like any normal morning, you sneak out ninja style from Levi's room to get ready for the day ahead. You hated doing it, but hey, it kept the captain happy. As you walk to your room, your mind wonderers to the captain and the relationship you have with him. Could anything really come out of it or is this a freaking fling? From his comments from yesterday, he never really had a relationship with a cadet before. Guess you can call yourself lucky. Looking up at your door, you sigh. You turn the knob, step in, and start getting ready for the day.
6:30 am
Walking to the dining hall, you hear a bunch of cadets murmuring. Hmm-What could be the commotion? You step inside to find a few girls crying, a few men looking at their plates, and your table quiet (which this was never the case). You scrunch face, and walk (really fast) to your table. Sitting next to Eren, you bend down and whisper, "What the hell happened in here?"
He looked at you and shrugged. "Well, not too long ago, Commander Erwin told us we would be heading out on an expedition outside the wall within 3 days."
You raise your eyebrow. "Isn't this what we signed up for?"
"Yes, but I guess the time off (I mean we have been training a ton lately) had an effect on some people. We haven't seen a titan for a while now. Some have never seen a titan at all."
"Eh-It will be alright. Don't you worry, okay?" You narrow your eyes, and then bend down to Eren again. "You know, the captain never told me about it last night, now that I think about it."
He smirked. "Well, I wouldn't either if I was having sex with you. That would kill the mood."
You giggle. "I guess you are right."
Looking up at the rest of your friends, you spot Jean contemplating his life, Ymir patting Krista's head, and Armin talking to a very stoic Mikasa. Some may not even make it back after this expedition. You sigh. They are all capable soldiers though. You look behind you to see the captain walking in. Looking as if he was searching for something, he laid his eyes on you. You raise your eyebrow at him, and he walked over to you.
"Hey, are you in trouble again, (First Name)," Connie asked?
You give him a "oh, F**k off" stare. He raises his hands in defeat.
"Hello, (Last Name)," Captain Levi spoke.
"Hello, Captain. What seems to be the problem?"
"No problem. Just thought I may sit with you brats this morning. Hange, Commander Erwin, and Mike Zacharius are talking over the expedition we will be having in a few days."
"You're not with them?"
"No. I don't need to be."
"Oh really? Humanity's finest is not supposed to be there, huh?"
"Is it so bad that I want to eat before I have to talk to those clowns?"
"I am not judging you, Captain. I think you should be there though."
He gave you a lazy look and stated, "(Last Name), I will be fine."
While you two chit chatted, the whole table sat there wide-eyed at you and the captain. You don't think they have ever seen the captain be this nice to someone before, and you immediately gave a "you should act more like yourself" look to the captain. He smirked. "Move over, you stupid brat. How am I supposed to sit down with your ass in the way?"
You almost burst out in complete laughter as you knew he didn't mind your ass. Pretty much thinking the same thing, Eren giggled.
"You have something to say, Yeager," Captain Levi asked?
"Nothing at all, Captain. I am sorry," he smirked.
"Good. Now, brats, listen up. I have no idea why this expedition is coming so much of a shock to you all. You are soldiers crying out loud. You signed your death certificate as soon as you joined the scouts. We are all on a time limit, and you all know it."
Krista started to tear up. You gave Captain Levi a look, and said, "Honey, it is alright. We are here for you."
"(Last Name), I think I have this handled here, thank you very much," Ymir hissed.
"I'm sorry!"
"Reiss, you have got to be kidding me. Stop your crying and act like the soldier you are," Captain Levi spat.
You place your hand on his shoulder, and he tensed. He nearly shoved you a few feet away from him, but stopped. He looked down at his lap, and then back at you. All the while, Eren and the rest of the table sat wide-eyed…again. "Uh, is there something going on with you and the captain, (First Name)," Connie asked?
You immediately rip your hand off the captain and spat, "who do you think I am? Ugh, the nerve to ask such a thing. I mean look at him. He is just terrible. He's short too. Who would like dating a short man? Not me, no. Connie, what is wrong with you?"
Levi and Eren smirk. "Whoa, (First Name), it was just a question. I am sorry for offending you," he said as he looked taken back.
"Yeah, that's right. Be sorry!"
"(Last Name), with all the denial, it has to be true," Jean remarked.
Everyone laughed. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever," you combat.
"Not judging. You are kind of made for each other. You make each other neutral."
Levi raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? How is that so?"
"Well, not to offend you Captain, you are kind of a hard ass. (Last Name) is probably one of the nicest people at this table. You guys would cancel each other out," Jean remarks.
You blush. "Hmm, I get your point. I want to ask though, why would I even think about dating one of my cadets? What kind of captain would I be, Kirstein," Captain Levi asks?
You frown. Looking at him, it looks like he is contemplating a few things while talking to your friends. You wonder how he really feels about this relationship. Is it eating him up?
"Eh, you would still be the same captain we know. Still a hard ass, but with someone that truly cares for you. (Last Name) is my friend, and I will stand by her and the problems she faces with the emotions with you or any other guy," Jean said.
Levi stared at him for quite some time. After a few moments, he stood up. "I am going to take my leave. Be ready to train the hardest you have ever had. Goodbye."
He walked out-clearly defeated. You turn to Jean. "Hmm, he looks upset," you say.
"I honestly don't care. I meant what I said," he frowned.
"I didn't think you felt so highly of me, Jean."
"Everyone here does."
You look at the whole table and smile. You truly have the best partners anyone could ask for.
"Thank you, everyone."
