As an extra, a sneak peek of Levi's side of the story
Day 1
"Oh fucking hell… My head…" Despite being still half asleep, Levi could already tell that he'd have to go through the day with the worst hangover ever. He wasn't exactly famous for a good alcohol tolerance, all the opposite, but this time he really overdid it. Only trying to remember the last night events was a struggle― And all the bits and pieces he could recall just made him want to forget all of it instead. "Did I really punch that jackass..? Damn it… Erwin won't be happy about that, not at all…" Levi was already drifting back to sleep when a low thud accompanied by a shriek startled him; Now wide awake, he found himself staring into a pair of [e/c] eyes.
"I… Uh…" [h/c] haired young woman stuttered as she scuffled up from the floor, looking almost just as confused and shocked as he was. "I'm… I… Sorry, thank you and goodbye!" She shrieked and dashed out of the room before Levi could say a word or even process what the hell was happening!
"Who..?" Levi blinked confused. He had some faint memories about bumping into her when he left from the pub, but what happened after that was a complete mystery. "Thank you? For what?" A peek under the blanket confirmed he was still mostly dressed― That alone didn't rule out all the possibilities of what they could've done last night. Warmth steadily creeped onto his face as he thought about the situation he was in; He had just woken up next to a military police officer, having no idea what happened last night or who exactly she even was. "Not to mention what all kind of stupid shit I may or may have not done..!" Levi cringed at himself. "Every time I meet a cute girl..! Every goddamn time..! I just have to make a fool of myself!"
"Good morning." Erwin, who had appeared into the doorway, interrupted his drinker's remorse. "Rough night, I see?" He raised his brow seemingly unimpressed.
"I'm late, I know." Not even bothering to comment his superior's words, Levi sat up on the edge of the bed to snatch his jacket from the floor. He could tell Erwin had something to say, and he doubted it was anything pleasant.
"Do you want to explain yourself or should I go straight to the point?" Erwin finally asked after a moment of silence while Levi put his jacket on and corrected his cravat.
"Knock yourself out." Levi muttered under his breath, everything but excited for the upcoming lecture.
"I'd wish you would avoid getting involved to a petty brawls all together―" Erwin stated coolly as he stepped into the room, closing the door behind him before continuing. "But if you have a compulsive need to punch someone's teeth in, I'd suggest you to choose your target more wisely next time; General wasn't very pleased to hear that scout regiment captain assaulted his nephew." Erwin spoke in a calm manner, but the serious look in his eyes was enough to tell Levi about the severity of the situation. But, to be honest, he had too much of a hangover to even give a shit― And besides, general's nephew or not, the kid was an asshole and got exactly what he deserved. "Levi? Did I make myself clear?" Erwin scowled at Levi, waiting him to say something.
"Yes, very clear." Levi nodded, leisurely flicking his coal black hair back as he finally lifted his gaze. Erwin didn't seem too convinced, sighing to himself and shaking his head as he made his way out. Instead of getting up, Levi crashed back to bed at very moment the door slammed shut. "What a fucking day…" He groaned in annoyance― He had woken up merely 10 minutes ago and was already ready to call it a day. Reaching next to him to grab a blanket, his hand brushed against a crumpled piece of paper that had been hiding under the sheets. "Hm? What's this..?"
Day 2
"[l/n], [f/n]..." He had heard that name somewhere before, but where? "Now when I think about it, she looked somehow familiar as well―" Levi found himself eyeing the list for the third time within an hour, re-reading the name of its owner over and over again as he tried to figure out why it sounded so familiar. "Who the heck are you..?" He muttered under his breath as he folded the paper back into his pocket. This mystery was going to keep nagging him until he'd find out the answer; He had just spent whole morning cleaning the dorms with the cadet brats, but this '[f/n]' in the back of his mind kept ruining his zen. It was maybe a bit childish, but he couldn't help it. With a deep sigh, Levi grabbed his jacket from the back of a chair and marched out of his room― If he wanted answers, he knew exactly where to start.
After wasting a good 20 minutes of his precious time by standing idle in a musty, old fart smelling room known as the military records, Levi was finally handed the files he came there for. "99th trainee corps, huh?" He read the title of the first folder, leisurely flipping through the pages as he headed back to his office. According to the file, this mysterious new friend of his had done pretty damn well in the trainee corps― And now wasting all her talent in the military police. "Typical…" Levi pouted to himself. "Why always the best ones..?" She got the whole package: Best 3dmg user of her class, excellent leadership skills, top grades from both close-combat and tactical mastery. "And even the looks if you ask me…" Levi smiled shortly to himself. By a quick glance, she was almost too good to be true. "So tell me, [f/n]... what are you hiding?" If Levi had learned anything during his time in the military, it was that the ones who looked best on the paper were always the ones closets full of skeletons. He himself wasn't an exception, and he'd bet that [f/n]'s personal file would confirm she wasn't one either. Finally arriving to his office, Levi locked the door after him and sat behind his desk to take a closer look at the remaining documents. As expected, she wasn't squeaky clean after all; Accused for a petty crime or two in the past, but never convicted for anything. "A little rebel, huh? Hmph, nothing too exceptional, though…" Levi sighed in boredom. He was about to just quickly flip through rest of the file and wrap things up, but the very next page made him freeze.
