"What's Eren doing over there all by himself?" Connie glanced over to the corner where Eren sat, chin resting on his hand, steadily observing the wall.
"Beats me." Jean replied. "Probably thinking about his sexuality."
"That's mean." Sasha elbowed him in the arm, happily devouring the bread in her hands.
"How's that mean? All I'm saying is, isn't it kind of weird how he hasn't shown any attraction towards Mikasa even though she's always around him... that lucky bastard." Jean clenched his fist, narrowing his eyes at Eren. "I mean, I'm sure everyone is interested in her but she doesn't even notice."
"Um, I think it's only you that's interested in her." Connie placed his hand on his broad shoulder.
"I'm not interested in her.. I just, uh.. you know, think she's pretty, that's all." Jean shifted his face away from them, masking the redness in his cheeks.
"Obvious."
"Totally obvious." Sasha and Connie both stared at each other in agreement.
"Speaking of Mikasa, where is she?"
"Hmm. She said she was going off to train with heichou I think?" Sasha mumbled, while chewing into another loaf of bread.
"Corporal Levi? She gets to train with him? That's pretty sick! I hear he's amazing during combat. What I would give to catch a glimpse of that." Connie replied, with a thrilled look on his face. It was clear at his change of atmosphere that he admired the captain, indefinitely.
"What's so great about him?" Jean muttered under his breath, uninterested in the Corporal. "He's just short and always has this bad look on his face."
"Don't say that Jean! If he heard you, he would probably make you run a thousand laps around headquarters."
"He would probably starve you too." Sasha added, recalling her bad experience with their previous head instructor at training camp.
"I'm not a compulsive food hoarder like you potato girl, I'm fine if I don't eat for a couple of days. Hell, I can handle a little running."
"I don't know Jean. He may be short but I hear he's merciless when it comes to discipline." Connie nodded his head, glancing at the egotistic soldier.
-Meanwhile-
"How the hell is this thing suppose to go back down!?" Levi narrowed his eyes down at the bulge beneath the constraint of his pants. He was undeniably frustrated at his lack of knowledge with this part of his body. He had never experienced anything like this in his life before, to understand any part about it. It was outright atrocious. Such an indecent thing to have, for a man with a high rank in the Survey Corps. He glanced up at his image in the mirror, while leaning in towards the sink. "You're Lance Corporal Levi and you're letting something trivial like this making you lose your composure? You're pathetic as any of those brats in the Scouting Legion." He muttered under his breath, directing his remark to his reflection. "Don't make a fool out of me, you piece of shit." He glanced back down, swearing at the erection that remained in his pants.
"I think the bathroom is occupied? That's weird, the door is locked when it should be open." One of the soldiers stood outside the door of the restrooms, glancing back at his friend.
"Man, what the hell is that guy doing inside? I got a load to drop off." The other soldier replied with a constipated look shown on his face.
"Who knows. He's probably shitting inside but there's other stalls too, the only problem is the locked door."
"Oi bastard! Hurry the hell up inside! I need to-"
The door suddenly slammed open, revealing the Corporal with a sour look projecting on his face. His green cloak covered his front exterior, concealing the erection.
"H-h-heichou sir!" The two soldiers stuttered, standing upright, with their arms on their chest and behind their back.
Levi stared at them, annoyed with their sudden appearances and lack of etiquette. He wasn't in the mood to interact with them though, he needed to chase them away before they noticed something off about him. Especially the problem that was going on in his lower part of his body.
"Both of you. I want the stalls clean and spotless by the time I return. Don't leave even a spot left behind or I swear by the name of the Survey Corps, that I'll shove your damn heads in the bowls of your own shit. Got that?" Levi's sharp blue eyes stared at them icily.
"YES CORPORAL RIVAILLE SIR!" They both shouted before making their escape towards the bathroom.
Levi stood there for a moment until the two soldiers disappeared from his sight completely. He quickly wiped the sweat trickling down his forehead and sighed in relief. "Tch. I barely managed to pull it off." He muttered under his breath, making his way towards the lunch room.
"Like I said Connie, if you lose that thick-witted personality of yours, you would be able to gain points with the ladies." Jean suggested, leaning against the table behind him.
"I don't need other girls, all I need is Sasha-"
"No way in hell." Sasha immediately cut him off, wiping the crumbs off her mouth.
"Or not." Connie pouted, laying his head back down on the table.
"You know, I've thought about this for awhile." Sasha paused. "Corporal Levi and Mikasa would make a good couple."
The two soldiers stared at her with bewilderment in their eyes.
"That's impossible Sasha."
"Never happening." Jean agreed, emphasizing the word in his sentence.
"Oh come on guys, think about it. Heichou is worth a whole brigade while Mikasa is worth hundreds of soldiers. Their practically humanity's strongest soldiers within the Scouting Legion." She took another bite of her bread before continuing. "If you think about it, the way they carry themselves in combat is basically identical. I've also noticed the way they quarrel with one another. The tension between them is just beyond words. I see no faults in their relationship."
"Yeah.. except for the fact that he's twice her age." They both replied in sync.
A loud thud quickly reached their ears as they turned their heads to the corner where Eren was sitting at. He was standing up, with both hands on the surface of the table, an exasperated look forming on his face. He was listening in on the three soldiers' conversation the whole entire time. Especially the part about Mikasa and Levi. He clenched his fists, making his way out of the lunch room, irritated by their topic of conversation. He wanted nothing more than to yell at them in that moment but realizing that his sudden outburst would bring questions to their heads. He couldn't understand the irritation stirring inside of him or the images of Corporal's flustered face from that day. All of it didn't make any sense.
"What the hell is his problem?" Jean asked, narrowing his eyes at the doors.
"Who knows.. he's been like that for days."Connie replied.
"Maybe he's hungry." Sasha frowned, not fully satisfied at the small amount of bread that she ate.
A moment passed by before the doors reopened again, a familiar figure stepping in, catching the three soldiers by surprise.
"CORPORAL LEVI SIR!" They all stood up, startled by his sudden appearance inside the lunchroom.
Levi's eyes wandered around the room, a disgusted look forming on his face as he began to notice the messy room filled with dusts and piled trash.
"Springer!" Levi barked, causing Connie to lose balance, and fall on his back. He quickly jumped back up and faced the captain with a straight face.
"Yes, sir!"
"What the hell is this." Levi looked down at him, his half closed eyes piercing him.
"Uh.. what do you mean sir?" Connie asked.
Levi felt a vein from his temple pop out. "I said... WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS MESS SPRINGER. Do I need to repeat myself again?"
"N-N-NO SIR. I UNDERSTAND. I CAN'T SAY SIR, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS!" He stammered, a sweat trickling down his forehead. Levi stared at him for a long minute, causing Connie to shake from the intense atmosphere.
Levi flickered his eyes to the other two soldiers, standing beside Connie, who were trying hard not to make eye contact with him.
"Kirschtein. Braus." He uttered in a firm tone, making his way towards the tense soldiers.
"Yes, sir."
"This lunchroom is to be wiped clean. Every inch of it. First thing in the morning. If you fail to do it, I'll make sure you clean up all the horse shit from the stables until the dusk till dawn. Do I make myself clear?" He stood in front of them, his face only inches away from theirs.
"YES SIR!" They replied in unison.
"Good." He looked around. "Now where's that shitty brat?"
"If you're talking about Eren, then you just missed him a minute ago." Sasha pointed at the doors that headed to the barracks.
Levi sighed, scratching the back of the lower shaved part of his head. "When you see him, tell him to report to the main halls this evening. Along with all of you and don't forget Ackerman."
They all stared at each other, confused at his sudden orders.
"It's for that damn four eye's experiment. Don't forget you brats." He glared at them, before making his way out the doors again. He had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that Hanji was planning something reckless as usual. But since he was going to be involved and her knowledge of his secret, just what in the world was she going to attempt. He didn't like the idea. Not one bit.
