Warnings for this chapter: Nothing bad but swearing and talk of homophobic people.

"Mr. Ackerman?"
Levi shakes his head and looks back at Dr. Maca. He had been lost in thought thinking about the new room he had gotten today. The doctor gives Levi a disapproving look and continues explaining his test results to him. Once she is done she hands him some bottles with small things inside it.
"These here are medicine you will be needing to take. You don't really need to take them but it is just a precaution and I really would like if you took them."
Levi knows that isn't her asking him to take them but her telling him to. He grabs the bottles from her and puts them in the small bag she had given him with a few papers that he had to go give to the Commander because "doctors are too busy to be running around like that and handing people papers."
"Now you are going to have to take all three of those once a day with a meal. It could be just a slice of bread but a full meal works best at keeping the nausea those medicines cause away." Levi nods his head and stores that away for later. Okay eat with a full meal so he doesn't feel like puking. Got it.
"Now I think that is all. If you have any questions or you start to have any of those symptoms that I was telling you about before please come speak with me or one of the other doctors right away. Now I believe dinner will be starting soon so why don't you hurry up and bring those papers to the Commander and have him show you to the dining hall? Knowing him he most likely forgot to give you a tour of the place." Dr. Maca shakes her head as she says this while standing up from one of the chairs in her office that she had been sitting on. Levi stands up as well and nods his head.
"Alright but shouldn't I wait for my friends?" The doctor shakes her head.
"Oh no they probably already have given the Commander their papers and been shown the way to the dining hall by some other person. Now hurry along." The way she speaks the last part is an obvious sign that says get the hell out. Levi nods his head at her.
"Okay. Thank you..for doing this Dr. Maca." She waves her hand in a goodbye and Levi takes his leave. Levi tries to remember the way that Dr. Charles had taken his friends and him earlier and he remembers it mostly. He makes in to the Commanders office after only a few wrong turns and quickly knocks on the door.
"Come in."
Levi shives at the deepness of the voice before taking a deep calming breath and opening the door. The Commander is at his desk yet again writing something down on some papers. Levi closes the door behind him and waits for the Commander to look up. It is a few minutes before he does so. When he sees it is Levi a small smile comes to his face.
"Ah I was wondering when you would stop by. Your friends where here a little over half an hour ago with their papers." There seems to be a hint of question in the mans words so Levi decides to explain himself.
"Ah well, sir, Dr. Charles and Dr. Cooper showed Isabel and Farlan their test results..and well Dr. Maca showed me mine and she was really detailed about everything," Levi tells the Commander.
"Ah yes Dr. Maca has a tendency to do that. Now how about those papers?" Levi quickly grabs the papers Dr. Maca had given to him from his bag as he walks over to the desk. He hands the papers to the Commander.
"Here you go, sir." The Commander grabs the papers from Levi and looks them over quickly before laying them down on his desk.
"Well now I have almost everything I need to make your friends and you official members of the Survey Corps," The Commander says as he looks up at Levi, a small smile on his face. Levi smiles back slowly.
"That is good than, sir." The smile falls off the Commanders face and he shakes his head.
"You don't have to keep calling me sir. My name is Erwin," The Commander, or Erwin as he wanted to be called, tells Levi. Levi frowns.
"But sir isn't it proper protocol for me to call you sir or Commander?" Levi asks the Commander, feeling slightly confused.
"Yes it is usually is but I rather have you call me Erwin." The Commander, Erwin, says and his tone of voice tells Levi not to continue asking why though.
"Alright..I will call you Erwin," Levi tells the man and Erwin smiles.
Erwin looks back down at his papers and it is a clear he is done with their conversation. Levi is about to leave when he remembers that Dr. Maca said dinner was soon and he didn't know the way to the dining hall. Levi gives a small cough and Erwin looks up.
"Yes, Levi?"
"Ah sir..um I mean Erwin, Dr. Maca said dinner was to start soon and well I was never given a tour of the place so I do not know where the dining hall is." Erwin has a calculating look on his face.
"Did Dr. Maca tell you to ask me to show you?" Levi nods his head and at that Erwin shakes his head and lets out a small laugh. "Oh that woman! Levi I think Dr. Maca has used you."
"Used me?" Levi asks confusedly.
"Yes used you. She probably made you stay with her longer than usual because she knew I would send your friends and you to the dining hall with somebody else while I stayed here in my office and she hates when I do that. She thinks I don't socialize or eat enough." Erwin explains to Levi.
"So she made me stay with her so that my friends would come here by themselves, be sent to the dining hall with somebody else, and I would come along later and you would have to show me the dining hall yourself, therefore making you socialize with people and eat dinner?" Levi asks Erwin just to make sure he was getting it right. Erwin nods his head.
"Yes that is correct. I am sorry you got dragged into this," Erwin says as he stands up and walks around his desk. "Well I guess I should lead the way to the dining hall, dinner does start soon."
"Oh don't be sorry. I am happy I can help Dr. Maca in getting you to socialize and eat more. Its not good for a man if he just hides himself away in his office and works," Levi tells Erwin as he follows after him out of Erwins office.
It is quiet after that on the way to the dining hall. When they reach it Levi is a little apprehensive about going in but one reassuring look from Erwin and he is totally fine. When they walk in all conversation stops and people turn to look at them. Erwin gives them all a stern look and everyone continues talking but this time its about Erwin and the guy with him. Levi glares at them all as he follows Erwin to where the food is and grabs a plate.
"Just ignore them all," Erwin says to him and Levi looks at him. "They are all just shocked to see their Commander actually in the dining hall and with somebody new."
"Alright.." Levi says but he can't help himself from feeling uncomfortable as people watch him and Erwin make their way down the long table of food, grabbing things that appeal to them.
Once they are done Levi follows Erwin over to a table where he can see Isabel and Farlan are sitting with some people who looked familiar. When they reach the table Levi sees why. The two people that they were with were Squad Leaders Hange Zoe and Mike Zacharius. The four of them stop talking when Levi and Erwin sit at the table.
"Erwin I was wondering when you would come visit us humble people again!" Squad Leader Hange says with a loud laugh as she looks at Erwin.
Levi ignores the conversation that the three senior members or the Survey Corps start up and instead focus on Isabel and Farlan.
"So Levi what took you so long to get here?" Isabel ask, a smirk on her face. Levi notices her look at Erwin and back at him quickly. "Did you and the Commander get caught up in something?" There is a suggestive tone in her voice that causes a blush to make its way onto Levi's face.
The little bitch! How dare she suggest Levi would be doing something with the Commander! They had just officially met and Levi had more decency than that!
"Shut up!" He hisses at Isabel as he looks over at Erwin and the Squad Leaders to see if they are listening. He breathes a sigh of relief when he sees that they are focused on their conversation with each other.
"Dr. Maca was very detailed in her explaining of my test results and then I got lost a little bit on the way to Erwins room," Levi tells Isabel giving her a small glare. Isabel just smiles.
"Sure…" She says with another smile. Farlan is chuckling at them and Levi sends him a glare that causes Farlan to flinch a little. Okay Levi could be scary sometimes.
"I am being serious you idiot!" He snaps at Isabel and Isabel nods her head.
"Yep I am sure you are being serious!" She says with a smirk and Levi is about to yell at her but then he realizes she is just messing around with him so he just settles for glaring at her as he takes a deep, calming breath.
"So you called him Erwin?" Farlan asks with a smirk and Levi groans as he lets his head drop to the table. Damn these two! How could they call themselves his friends? He hears them start laughing and he just looks up and glares at them.
"Oh look Mike he glares just like Erwin does!" Levi blinks and turns towards Erwin and the Squad Leaders to see them looking at him.
"Excuse me?" Levi ask, one of his eyebrows raising up.
"Oh nothing!" Squad Leader Hange says with a small smile before turning back to Erwin and Squad Leader Mike to start their conversation up again. Levi looks at Erwin and he gives him a smile before answering the question Hange had just asked him.
Levi looks down at his food and takes a small bite of it. His friends are snickering into their hands and he sends them glares that they ignore as they both continue to eat as well. After a while they all three are finished but it is obvious that Erwin and the Squad Leaders are not so after saying their goodbyes the three friends make their way from the dining hall out into the hall to find their way back to their rooms.
"We are going to Levi's room," Isabel says suddenly when they find a hallway that looks familiar.
"And why are we going to my room?" Levi asks, not all that curious.
"Because you are going to tell us exactly why you were late. From the beginning to when you got to the dining hall and to where Farlan and I were sitting." Levi shakes his head at this and sighs.
"Alright." They are silent on the rest of the way to Levi's room and once they enter Isabel and Farlan start looking around. "What are you doing?" Levi ask them as he sits down on his bed.
"Your room is different from Farlan's and mine. Before you showed up we discussed what they look like and discovered they are the exact same in style. While yours has a large bed, a desk with chair, a couch and small end table and a closet ours don't. We only have a small bed and a dresser in our rooms," Isabel tells Levi as she comes out from inspecting his closet. Levi blinks at that.
"Are you serious?" Farlan nods his head as he sits on the bed next to Levi with Isabel.
"Maybe Commander Erwin has a crush on you too Levi and decided to show it by giving you a big room!" Isabel says teasingly as they all lay down as one on the bed, their legs still hanging over the edge. Levi snorts.
"Tsk, yeah right! He probably gave me this room on accident or there might not have been any other ones."
"Mhm I am sure. Now anyways get on with telling us why you were so late at dinner," Isabel says. Levi sighs and then begins to tell them everything that had happened since he last saw them. Isabel and Farlan stay quiet until he is done talking.
"Wait so he actually told you to call him Erwin?" Isabel asks sounding shocked.
"Yes," Levi says.
"Hmm maybe he does like you!" Isabel says excitedly as she sits up and looks down at Levi, a big smile on her face.
"Oh come on. Why would a man like Erwin Smith possible like me?" Levi says as he sits up.
"Ah maybe cause your hot and have an interesting personality?" Farlan suggest as he sits up as well. Isabel nods her head and Levi just shakes his head at the idiocy of the two. Seriously they were stupid. There was no way Erwin Smith liked me. The man and I just met for crying out loud!
"We just met..there isn't any possible way for him to like me," I tell Isabel and Farlan.
"Yes but didn't you fall in love with him the first time you saw him?" I bite my lip at what Isabel says and am about to answer when somebody clears their throats. We all jump and look over towards the door to see somebody standing there.
"Who are you?" Isabel demands as she stands up, a glare on her face. Levi and Farlan stand up as well and glare at the stranger. The man just gives them all a sneer.
"I am Commander Nile Dok of the Military Police Brigade. Now who are you three and what the hell are you doing in here?" The look he gives them tells the three that he dislikes the sight of them.
"This is my room, Commander Dok," Levi says forcing himself to use a polite tone of voice. It would not do to make the Commander any more angry than he already seemed.
"Your room? Boy, these rooms are only supposed to be used by Squad Leaders or Commanders!" The man glares at Levi.
"We didn't know that sir. Commander Erwin gave this room to Levi just today and-" The Commander stops Isabel from talking.
"Ah so you three are the ones that Erwin decided to take in the Survey Corps instead of letting the Military Police take care of you like he should have, huh?"
Levi, Isabel and Farlan slowly nod their heads as they watch the Commander, to see what he does. The Commander looks them all over and the look he is giving Levi is the worst. The look in the Commander's eyes is pure disgust and hatred. Levi feels confused. What had he done to deserve such a look from the Commander?
"Well I will go talk to Commander Erwin about you staying in this room, boy." The Commander turns and just before he walks away he looks back into the room and gives Levi a glare. "Also you better not let anybody else catch you talking about Commander Erwin like that, boy, or else they might take it the wrong way and do something." Levi swallows thickly as Isabel quickly rushes to the door and closes it.
"Fuck he heard us talk-" Isabel breaks Farlan off.
"Yes he did which is why we need to be more careful. He is right. Not many people except homosexuals and having him know is bad. So hopefully Commander Dok doesn't go to anybody and tell them what he heard." Levi sits down on his bed and puts his head in his hands.
"Oh god what if he tells somebody?" Levi looks up at Isabel and Farlan as he bites his lip.
"I am sure he won't. Even as a Commander of the Military Police Brigade he still doesn't have the right to come snooping around Survey Corps HQ and that was what he was doing it seems. Your bedroom door was closed and only rooms are in this hallway so he had to have been snooping." Isabel says confidently as she pats Levi on the shoulder. Levi takes a deep breath.
"Yeah your right. Um I am kind of tired now..would you two mind..?" Levi looks up at them with an apologetic smile and they smile back at him.
"Sure we won't mind leaving. I am kind of tired myself," Farlan says.
"Thanks," Levi whispers to them both as they give him hugs and say goodnight. Once they are gone it is quiet in the room as Levi gets up and puts on a pair of pajamas that had been given to him.
