Suspicious mission
The next day, Erwin and Armin were still lying in the bed and enjoying their moment. They clang to each other so tightly, like they never wanted to be separated again.
Erwin seeing Armin peacefully sleeping on his chest, made him relieved that what they did yesterday wasn't just his dream but reality. He was the happiest man in the whole freaking universe because he made love to the one who has stolen his heart and who became his number one priority in his life.
He didn't want to move, lying here in the bed with Armin in his arms was the total perfection. However, this idyllic moment didn't last long.
Without any warning or announcement the door on the bedroom opened with a loud scrunching sound surprising a little the older blond, who looked at his lover, who still was peacefully sleeping on his chest. Erwin than looked up and rolled his eyes.
It was no one else than Levi, who had this style of entering someone´s room exerted and mastered really well.
"What do you want, Levi?"Erwin asked causally, with his arms still around the younger blonde.
"I need to talk to you, Erwin." Levi answered.
"As you can see, I am quite busy right now. "
"You don't have to remind me of it. I am not blind, you know. I am truly sorry for my bad timing, but this matter cannot wait any longer. "
Erwin rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What is it this time that cannot wait, huh?"
"I am sorry for my unappreciated timing but I need to talk to you, now if it would be possible."
"Now you say?" and he exhaled in boredom. "Give me 10 min and wait for me in my office. "
"Ok, don't be late. If you do, then don't wish me. Trust me, I would also rather be so lovey-dovey with Eren like you are now, but this matter just simply cannot wait."
"…" Erwin didn't say anything on it. He gestured that Levi should leave. Levi got it and tentatively closed the door behind him and headed towards Erwin´s office.
Erwin unwillingly and with careful movements slipped out from the bed, covering Armin with the blanket. Thank God, Armin was a heavy sleeper. Then he went up to his chair and began to dress up. When he was finished with it, he went back to the bed, drew back some strands from Armin face and gave a light kiss on his nose.
Then he stood up and as quietly as he could, walked out from their room. On the way to his office he was thinking about what Levi wanted to discuss with him that badly, that without any shame he just walked in like his room was a columbary.
When he finally arrived, Levi was already sitting in the chair, impatiently for him to show up.
"Finally, I thought I would sprout root here till you would honor me with your presence "He said sarcastically. Erwin pretended he hasn't heard that. He sat down on his chair behind the huge oak table and crossed his legs.
"What is that urgent matter you wanted to discuss with me?"
"It is about the next mission."
"What about it?"
"It is just that that Armin and Eren are the chosen one for it. There wouldn't be anything wrong with it, but except the part that they are supposed to go and explore a territory between our Castle and the place of the MP´s."
Erwin sharpened. "Who was the one to come up with this shit?"
"Don't look at me. You know that I would be the last person to send them straightly into the filthy claws of those pigs… This mission was planned by Pixis…"
Erwin took three or four deep breaths to stay steady and calm. "I should have known that that old drunkard would come up with such an absurdly mission like that. By the way, how you know that?"
"He sent a letter yesterday. And he emphasized that Armin and Eren should go alone there."
Erwin eyebrow twitched. "Like hell I will allow them to go there alone. Is this mission indispensable?"
Levi looked aside. He wasn't delight with this idea. "Unfortunately, yes it is. Pixis want to test Armin and Eren abilities in such a mission like going to do and penetrate into the enemy territory and do some spying and research and then quickly escape and safely come back and report what happened."
Erwin just shook his head in disbelief. "I haven't heard this much bullshit for a long time."
"Me neither. I don't know if he were by his conscious when he sent this letter or not but now we have to think about how we can ensure that Eren and Armin´s safety."
Erwin tried to somehow adapt and deal with it. But his inner voice was whispering that this must be just a well planned trap from the MP ´s.
Then he suddenly spoke up. "What if this whole bullshit is just a perfectly camouflaging trap from those pigs?"
Levi looked at Erwin with widened eyes. The sudden realization hit him really strongly. "Shit…. You might be right." He hit the arm of the chair with full force.
"Why I haven't thought about it earlier?" He was totally ashamed that as a Corporal, he wasn't counting with the fact that letter, could be also just a bait to lure Eren and Armin out and then they could have a short process with capturing them.
His blood was boiling and he stood up and began to walk up and down in the office. He was so pissed and irritated that he couldn't just calmly sit there.
Erwin looked at him with concern. "Hey, Levi…. Are you alright? Have I said something wrong?"
"No… it is just that I am pissed off. If you wouldn't say what you said, than I would blindly give out the command to Eren and Armin to go and accomplish the mission. But when you came up with this possibility I realized that this whole mission crap must be a perfectly planned plan from those assholes. "And he walked up and down in the office nervously.
"So what you think about it, you think that this idea came from those idiots?"
"Frankly said, I wouldn't be surprised at all. They are capable to do anything to achieve their goals. Those pigs…. I hate them … And truly said, Pixis wouldn't give out order like this. He really knows that Eren is the main target for the MP´s. Now when I think about it…. I am an idiot. Falling for this shit … oh got… "
He was blaming himself for not seeing through this whole thing. Erwin shook his head. "Don't blame yourself, Levi. I wouldn't have thought about it either, but thanks to the events, which took place recently, I am more and more convinced that the MP´s are standing behind this bullshit. They are thinking that we are as stupid as to fall for this. But thank God, we have revealed it in time. "
Levi loudly exhaled. He took other three deep breaths to calm himself down and then he sat back where he was sitting.
"So what are we going to do?"
"This a good question. That is true that this whole mission is just a fanciful crap coming from the MP´s we should accomplish it. Albeit, with some changes. Firstly, we shall let them think that Eren and Armin are going and everything is going according to their wishes. However, they will not be aware of the fact that we also will be going with those two."
"Hmm…. Not bad…. But what if they will try to catch or try to attack Eren and Armin?" He wasn't that delighted when he imagined the scene.
"Then we will interfere and clearly explain them to not playing with our patience and laying their fingers on our precious two Cadets. It is total out of question. If they will not listen to our warnings, then we will use some more drastically measurements to make them clear that they will never get what they want. Not in this lifetime, I can guarantee. Honestly, I must convey that from the last confrontation, they become our official enemy, which we have to defeat at all cost and protect those, who are the most important to us and also to humanity."
"I agree with you. For me, they are just unyielding parasites, who needs to be exterminated as soon as it possible to avert them from polluting the air and causing any further problems. I would be my pleasure to take care of them, one by one to show them that they are just fucking rats, after which nobody would mourn and will let drop a single tear."
"As I see, you look forward this mission more than anyone else. By the way, we have to let Armin and Eren known about our next "mission"."
"You are right. I would be awkward if we let them out of this. "And then he burst out in a sarcastic laughter.
Erwin rolled his eyes but then he also gave a fake smile.
"So, to summarize it up, Eren and Armin will be exploring their territories and doing their job, while will keep an eye on them, from a safe distance. And when they will try something, we will immediately interfere and teach them some things."
"So we agreed, then. Now, let´s tell the boys about this." And then Levi left Erwin´s office. He immediately went to find Eren and tell him about is going on. Erwin did the same. But he went back to bedroom, where Armin was still slowly waking up.
This mission will be a completely different from those, in which they have already participated. But this time, they will be prepared because they are aware who the enemies are, and what they can be expecting from them ….
….
Stay tuned :D
