"Oi brat! What the hell do you think you're doing!" A smooth, loud voice pierced the quiet of the mess room.
Eren, who was at that moment flicking paper at Jean, turned to see where the voice had come from. Standing in the doorway was a short, black haired man with stunning grey eyes. Those stunning grey eyes were currently glaring at him.
"I um...are you talking to m-me? Eren stuttered.
" Who else brat? You're the only one making a mess on my carpet. You owe me a week of cleaning duty. You start tomorrow morning, meet me at half-six in my office and I'll instruct you on how to clean, as you were obviously raised in a barn." And with one last disdainful look that he stalked from the room.
"Eren. Eren!" Strong hands were shaking his shoulders and big worried eyes were staring into his teal ones.
"W-what is it?" He asked groggily, trying to remember who the person kneeling in front of him was.
"Didn't you have an appointment with Levi at half-six this morning?"
"Yeah, I did. I better go get dressed. Thanks for waking me up! I probably would have slept in otherwise..." With that he glanced at the clock and swore. It was quarter past eight.
"Crap! He's gonna kill me!" Eren flung some clothes on and raced to Captain Levi's office, pausing to shove his boots on before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" A sharp voice called from the other side of the heavy wooden door.
"Eren sir. Reporting for cleaning duty." Eren said, surprisingly clear even though his hands were shaking and his legs felt like jelly. He had only seen the Captain two times and both of those times he had been beating other cadets and yelling at them for the slightest of things. He wondered if the Captain was going to beat him.
"Enter." Levi called.
