No, it wasn't supposed to be like this. That's all Levi can think as he witnesses this disaster. He had been too careless for leaving her in charge. Silently, Levi walks over to her.
"Petra," He tries not to show any mercy to the strawberry blonde despite his affection for her. "What the fuck is this?"
"With all due respect, Captain-" She spits the title out in disgust. "I did the best I could on my own and in such little time."
Levi sighs and runs a hand through his hair. It's taking all of his willpower to keep his voice level. "These are not up to my standard."
"Fuck the 'Ackerman Standard'" Alright she just mocked him, shit is gonna go down.
"I gave you one job, and you can't even bake a simple batch of cookies without them tasting like piss!" He gestures wildly to the trays scattered about his kitchen.
"They taste perfectly fine!"
"These cookies are hard as a rock!" Levi picks one up and waves it in her face for emphasis. "Ackerman cookies are supposed to melt in your mouth, not chip a tooth! I gave you the recipe, how could you fuck them up?"
Petra rolls her eyes. "For your information I followed them down to the letter, it said bake for 10-14 minutes, so I put the timer on 12 and then got my other work done."
Levi resists facepalming at such a stupid statement. "Damn it Petra, you're supposed to watch it while it bakes, that's the first rule of baking!"
"Excuse me for not knowing everything about baking. It's 3AM and I've been baking 100 cookies for you because you're such a dumbass you forgot your submission for the bake sale!" Petra's angry, tired, and probably wants to kill him by this point.
"I've been busy actually organizing and planning the debate tomorrow. You said you'd help and I was an idiot and trusted you. These are shit, you'll have to redo them."
If she was angry before, now Petra was pissed. "Fuck you, fuck your stupid haircut, and fuck your precious cookies, I'm done with dealing with your bullshit!" With that she stormed out of his house.
"Shit, wait Petra!" This was last resort. He hadn't first thought of calling his girlfriend in the middle of the night. He had tried calling Erd, Gunther, Auruo, even tried recruiting his little sister, Mikasa, but they all declined. Levi ran after her but by the time he reached the door, he could hear her driving away.
As Levi saw the piles of cookies he needed to get rid of, not to mention he needed to rebake all of them, only one word could come to his mind.
"Fuck."
A.N. Ha, who thought I was being serious at first? I just thought up this Policy Debate AU for the gang and thought to share some of the details with you. For those of you who don't know, policy debate is a very structured form of debate where you have to think up stuff on the fly, be able to debate from either side of a subject, and in all seriousness suggest stuff like "consult Jesus" and "adding those sidewalks will lead to nuclear war." Usually it's two teams of two against each other in a small room with just one judge grading you on your argument. I could go on but I don't want to bore you. If you want to know more or have any questions, just ask me. Here are the teams.
Erd and Gunther: Erd is very good at getting the opponent upset, causing them to lose their cool and look like a fool. Meanwhile Gunther is extremely polite and calm, making the opposing side look even more foolish.
Auruo and Petra: Petra acts very sweet and innocent, asking seemingly unrelated questions during cross-examination. She leads them in a trap, where Auruo can completely demolish their argument, though sometimes he gets a little too excited.
Levi and Mikasa: Both are amazingly good, tearing apart arguments but keeping their cool. Levi is particularly good at speaking really fast so the opponents have trouble taking notes. Mikasa is really aggressive, scaring any opponent.
Armin and Eren: Eren is good at arguing from emotional side, he's very passionate, which appeals to less experienced judges. Armin is good at taking notes, and finding good evidence to use.
Hanji and Mike: Hanji is the person who pulls shit like "Consult Jesus" Despite how ridiculous their arguments are, no one can counter them. Mike is very good at thinking on his feet when it comes to rebuttals. It doesn't take him much prep time to prepare his argument which balances Hanji who needs a lot.
Erwin: He's so badass he solos his debates. Erwin excels at always being in control, even when under cross-examination
