Hey everyone! I'm back I know it took long enough right?

Well anyways to those of you who care I'm starting school again so updates will start taking longer! -Sigh- my summer is coming to an end! Anyways here is an end of summer chapter!

Rivaille just looked at the overly excited girl with a death glare. Most would have been frozen in fear by now. This girl however didn't even flinch under his gaze. When Rivaille first met her she was calm, cold, and calculating. She was even more so when they were stealing or with the gang. However as time wore on Rivaille soon realized that Arianna could be quite energetic when at home. It wore on his nerves at times but she was the best partner he was gonna find within all of wall Sina. She was more trustworthy than most, quick and stealthy, excellent at stealing, and was definitely the brains between the two of them. All of those things didn't stop him from feeling frustrated over her abundance of energy as well as OCD attitude.

"Stop jumping around like that and let's hurry up and get dressed so we can get this over with."

Rivaille grumbled out but the brunette girl paid no mind to him. She was far to busy prancing around their shack-like home in search of a pair of scissors. Normally Rivaille would care less so long a she avoided his half of the space but with their current state of dress he was quite unhappy. He still had the towel wrapped firmly around his waist but he was cold and by no means did he want to catch a cold because of her lack of consideration. The only source of heat they had in their home was a few candles littered about here and there but those were mostly for light. His other complaint was that Arianna was also still in a towel and was moving around without a care in the world. She was a girl living with a boy and she be more cautious about showing certain parts of her body to him. He would have liked her a lot more if she was wary of her body but with his luck that wasn't the case. In fact right now the small towel wrapped around h was getting looser with every movement. Now Rivaille wasn't a genius but he sure as hell knew that at this rate the towel was gonna fall and he was grateful that he had his eyes averted when it did.

"Eeeek! Don't look!"

"Idiot that's what you get for moving around so much!"

"I said don't look!"

"I'm not fucking looking! Just hurry up and get dressed then find those damn scissors!"

Rivaille finally looked over at the girl right as she had slipped on a clean night shirt. For a brief moment he caught a glimpse of the creamy skin of her stomach and he let loose a sigh. The troubles that came with living with a girl... No wait the troubles of living with a girl who only gets embarrassed after she has no towel. At least she didn't throw anything at him this time... Rivaille also had changed into pajamas as well but he was more or less waiting for the inevitable.

"Okay come here Riv- Levi! Let's cut that shaggy hair of yours!"

Rivaille let loose another sigh before making his way over to the grinning brunette. That nearly sadistic grin of hers made him very uncomfortable. Rivaille just knew he was gonna come out of this ordeal looking stupid. Though the short boy didn't voice any of his fears or complaints to the girl and instead let her do as she pleased. Arianna had wrapped a towel around Rivaille's shoulders to prevent hair from falling onto him. Rivaille tensed expecting the girl to be rough with his hair but instead he was surprised. Gentle hands brushed through his still wet hair and then began softly snipping away at it.

Somewhere along the line Rivaille must have dozed off. He couldn't help it though! His head had felt so good and he felt relaxed. What he did notice was how his head felt much lighter. This made Rivaille feel more than a little suspicious. How much hair did she cut off!?

"Arianna give me a mirror right now..."

"Heh... I swear it looks better than your shoulder length hair... I mean you looked like a complete sewer rat with it..."

"Oh my god..."

Rivaille snatched the mirror right of the girls hands. His reflection looked back at him with a glare but he was more focused on his hair. He looked like a-

"-military brat!"

Arianna snickered at him as she perfectly described how his hair cut made him look. He liked his damn shoulder length hair! Now he really did look like a new recruit for the military. Just ship him off to the training corps already; he already had his own gear. Rivaille would make her pay for this. In fact he knew exactly how he would.

"Your turn Arianna..."

"Silly I can cut my own hair...Hee hee..."

"No it's only fair... I'll even cut it so it's nice and even..."

"You actually doing something nice and even is like you becoming a Corporal! It's never going to happen!"

"I hate you know that!"

"It wouldn't be so short if you had stopped bitching about it having to be even. If you moved around so much it wouldn't have turned out so short."

Rivaille had somehow convinced the girl to let him cut her hair. He personally thought he was doing just fine but the brunette kept complaining that it wasn't even. It didn't help that she really did move around a lot. All the movement made a few strands slightly uneven and it went on from there. Her thick hair was finally perfectly even but it came with a small price. Her hair was short just barely reaching the nape of her neck. Her previously long bangs were now short and cut curtain style. Rivaille personally liked this look for her. Before her bangs made her turquoise eyes fierce and intimidating and she looked very feminine. With the New cut her eyes were nit quite as fierce and it almost felt like he was with a boy right now. The turquoise eyed girl glared at him making her unhappiness known.

"I look like a fucking little boy thanks to you!"

"You have the mouth of a vulgar little boy to..."

"Shut up you damn military brat!"

The two had separated themselves wanting to put some distance between them. At this rate they were gonna strangle each other. Though Rivaille would easily over power her. Sure she gave the appearance of being taller and maybe even being stronger but it was all a lie. In reality they were the same height and Rivaille was much stronger than her. However she was resourceful and had a great mind for tactics. Thinking of tactics made his thoughts drift to what exactly they were gonna do. They changed their appearance but how exactly were they gonna smuggle the gear out? They certainly didn't have the money to buy any horse drawn wagon. It's not like they could hide the gear under their cloaks all the way to the forest of giant tree's either.

Why did they even steak the gear in the first place? To help them steal? To better protect themselves? Perhaps it was their curiosity and rather impulsive nature? Every other thief in Sina had the curiosity of a cat and rarely thought before they took what they wanted. Or maybe just maybe it was a good excuse to start over. Whatever the reasoning it didn't help their predicament of just how to get their and how to smuggle that damn gear.

"So we changed our appearances. Now what?"

"I'm afraid we're gonna have to ask the gang for help."

"No you can't be serious!"

Sorry for such a late update but yeah school... As well as some personal problems. I know this chapter was short but I'm just going through a tough time right now. I'll be back to normal eventually I swear!

As a quick little side note to anyone who was wondering. I changed this fanfiction to be under Shingeki no Kyojin instead of Attack on Titan. There are more fanfictions there (which means more readers there as well I would hope.). Anyways you can expect all my other fanfictions to go through this change as well.

A quick shoutout/thanks to Mello Keehl for your review! I loved your idea and I did my best to incorporate it! Thank you~!

Also thank you to my dear friend Aubrey for reviewing as well (Love ya!)

Anyways thanks for reading and let me know how I'm doing!
