I am so sorry for not updating since December. Work has been demanding and physically (and emotionally) stressful. I've already updated my RoyAi fic Fate and Faith and now I'm planning on updating Mom and Dad (another RoyAi fic).
I also have to note that I haven't read the recent chapters of the manga, so this has probably become canon divergent... Well, I think it has been. :3
To those who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey, stay strong and safe and resilient. My prayers and virtual hugs are with you.
"Shitty glasses, just how much shit do you own?" Levi growled, eyeing the box she carried with contempt. At this rate, there wouldn't be any more space left for the actual living quarters in the living quarters.
Hange grinned cheekily as she put her burden on the desk, swiping a bead of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. "Just this last one," she tapped the box. "Years of titan research tend to accumulate paperwork, you know."
The short captain wrinkled his nose in disgust and surveyed the whole room now filled with boxes and crates containing god-knows-what. "I forbid you to bring your titan shit in the living quarters."
"But they have to be within reach at any given time in case I make a new discovery!" she protested, hugging the box protectively. She wouldn't put it past the short captain to throw her belongings outside the window.
"No." but he wouldn't budge. "Leave them in your laboratory, or I'll toss them in the fire pit."
Hange looked scandalized. "You wouldn't!" she gasped.
Levi just rolled his eyes at her antics. "Try me, Four Eyes." He stood up from his bed and walked towards the door opposite of the front door and twisted the knob. "If they're still here after I finish my shower, you'll find Sasha wrapping her damned roasted potatoes with them." He entered the adjoining bathroom and shut the door firmly behind him.
Hange, knowing he only took three-minute showers, scrambled to gather all her titan research and shoved them to the other adjoining room which served as her satellite laboratory. Like she said, she needed her resources at hand whenever new ideas popped in her head…which usually happens in the middle of the night.
He marched down the hallway with a purposeful gait. Cold, steel blue-grey eyes scanned each of the corridors with an almost obsessive scrutiny. Those brats had better be on the meeting room already if they know what's good for them.
Earlier that day, the Commander had ordered for everyone in the Survey Corps to convene in the meeting room later on in the day. The room was where they used to gather to discuss plans before every expedition.
Now, though, the room just served as a regular meeting hall from the significant lack of missions that needed delicate planning.
He didn't really know what the Commander wanted to talk about, but he had a good idea. He was pretty sure it would be about the Queen's order, and his lack of knowledge of the reason for the meeting greatly bothered him. Usually Hange confided with him especially after she was named the 14th Commander of the Survey Corps and they became the only veterans left of the Corps.
He was about to make a right turn and head towards the convention when a distinct crunching sound reached his ears. Knowing exactly what it was and who made the sound, he kicked open the door in front of him.
The brunette shrieked in surprise and she fell over from her crouching position on the floor of the pantry, spilling the contents of her bowl all over the floor. Her surprise, however, turned into horror at the sight of wasted food.
"My potatoes!" Sasha cried in dismay, obviously debating whether or not the fried potatoes are still safe to eat. "My beloved potatoes!"
Levi rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "Oy, make sure to clean this mess up."
Sasha shrieked again. "Captain, you scared me!" She eventually started to gather the fallen food and regretfully threw them in the nearby trash bin in fear of the short captain. "What are you doing here?"
Hange's discovery of the friend potatoes apparently made Sasha dumber and he had to breathe in deeply to rein in his irritation. "What are you doing here?"
"So, fertilization begins when-" she was cut off from her lecture by the opening of the door. Two figures stepped in and looked around the room. " Nice of you to join us, Captain Levi and Miss Braus," she greeted a little too happily and she gestured towards the vacant chairs around. "Please have a seat."
What is this about?" Levi asked as he made his way to the seat right in front of her and warily eyeing the life-sized models on her desk.
She grinned wildly, reminiscent of the Cheshire cat. "I'm glad you asked that question, Levi!" There was a collective groan among the people gathered. "For the benefit of those who came late, let me go back right from the start."
From her position at the front of the room, she can see Jean passing out, Connie falling asleep, Eren looking determined as per usual, Mikasa averting her eyes from everybody and Armin sweating nervously. The others held similar reactions.
Only Sasha and the captain remained clueless.
'Oh, this is gonna be good.'
A/n: Ohhh, the birds and the bees! Buzz buzz.
So, our character have finally discovered chips and french fries! Yahoo!
