"Now now children, grab your assigned cups and let's get this show on the road!" Hanji shrieked with excitement, lightly pouring the remote liquids into the cups which held the names of each of the groups.

Everyone stared at each other, with wavering eyes and apathy displaying on the surfaces of their face. Eren was glowering at Jean, while Sasha completely ignored Connie's presence and clung tightly onto Mikasa, who was still lingering within her thoughts. Levi leaned by the doors in the shadows, taking a glimpse of Mikasa and her little expressions that would present itself on her face. The guilt. No. The atmosphere around her was suffocating him, not to mention the demeaning look on her face when she heard that they were being paired up. Hanji was making this into game of survival. Pairing up different kinds of breeds that have nothing in common.

Hanji flickered her eyes over to the Corporal's rigid stature, whose disposition remained steady. His hard headed ego was being shaken by a young girl with substantial powers corresponding to his own. Hanji couldn't help but want to delve deeper into this forbidden relationship. A man with a legion of burdens between a girl with a strong-willed resolve. She wanted nothing more than to fuse these opposite forces together.

"Levi." She applied in a firm voice. "Your cup?"

Levi grimaced, adjusting his body and made his way over to the table which everyone sat at. Their eyes followed him, the exception of two, which remained in their little worlds. He grasped the cup tightly in his hand, getting a whiff of the aroma that gave off from the unknown liquid. He cringed his nose, taking a deep breath, before returning his gaze back at the eccentric squad leader.

"Alright everybody. Please let us begin this experiment." Hanji lifted her hand, a gesture for them to gulp down the liquid.

Sasha felt her stomach growl and immediately poured the whole entire content into her mouth and followed it after with a loud burp. "It has... a bitter aftertaste." She creased her forehead, feeling an unnatural feeling overwhelm her.

Connie stared at her in shock, hastily grabbing the cup and gulping down the liquid until there wasn't a drop left inside. He wiped the remaining drops that were on his upper lips before responding. "That liquid has a syrupy flavor to it."

Jean narrowed his eyes at Eren, forcefully grasping the cup and took a huge swig of the fluid before slamming the cup back down on the table. He cringed his nose in response to the strong taste that resided in his throat and made a choking noise. "What the hell is in that? It's so strong."

Eren scoffed at the egocentric soldier's failed attempts to impress everybody. He raised his cup to his lips and gulped down the liquid that slowly poured down his throat. He placed the cup back down with an ambiguous look on his face. "The liquid was too thick."

Mikasa glanced down, hesitating to drink the contents within the cup. Everyone focused their attention on her, wondering what her reaction to the liquid would be. She gradually lifted the cup to her lips and swallowed the liquid whole before setting it back down again. She sat there with a blank expression and announced in a low voice. "It's strong."

The trio stared at her, gaping at her ability to maintain a straight face, even after drinking something with a strong taste. Jean stared down, flustered that he wasn't able to impress Mikasa but somehow managed to be impressed by her, yet again.

"Well Levi, it's your turn." Hanji's mocking eyes pierced him.

He sighed heavily, feeling nauseous at the fact that the contents in his cup was made by Hanji. Which could mean that it could possibly be poison. Everyone's eyes adjusted towards him, as they waited silently for him to take in the liquid. He slowly lifted up his cup, edging on everyone's attention, placing it between the line of his lips and parting it as the liquid began flowing inside his mouth. His collectedness remained the same as he placed down the cup. He felt his chest igniting as the liquid flowed down his body, a burning sensation radiating through his veins, causing him to stir in his seat. "What the hell did you put in this Hanji?"

She looked at him, amused at his priceless expression. "I'm sure you would like to know but I can't tell you because that would be against the rules."

"Rules?" He coughed, grasping his neck. "This isn't a damn game."

"Obviously to a boring man like yourself, it's not. But me on the other hand, my experiments are games that I like to play. If I win, I discover something miraculous. If I lose, then all my efforts will have gone to waste. Simple as that." She pushed back her glasses and slammed her hands on the table. "Okay, let's not waste time everyone! Time to lock you up inside your rooms before the influence of the liquid begins."

Everybody stood up and followed after Hanji towards the rooms that lead in the main halls. "These rooms have never been occupied for my own accord. I asked Erwin to leave them alone, in case I wanted to conduct an experiment, like today for example." She grinned, pointing her fingers at the three rooms.

She opened the first door, showing the bright interior of the room that gave off a warm vibe. She flickered her eyes towards the two simple-minded soldiers and quickly shoved Sasha and Connie inside, slamming the door tight. She grabbed her keys and inserted it into the keyhole, turning the key until it made a clicking noise. Hanji let out a low chuckle before striding down the halls again.

She then continued her way onto the second door, opening it gradually, showing the inside of the room, with a bright maroon color painted on the surface of the wall, that matched Mikasa's scarf. Hanji glanced at Levi with a nod and abruptly pushed him with great force, causing him to ram into Mikasa as they both fell onto the ground. Hanji slammed the door shut and locked it with another key. She smirked, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes. 'Good luck..' She thought to herself as she led the remaining group to their final destination.

Levi sat up, lifting his hand to his forehead, feeling the throbbing pain pound repeatedly. He swore under his breath, promising to himself that he would make Hanji pay for this.

"Heichou... you're still on top of me." A small voice reached his ears from beneath.

Levi quickly glanced down and pushed himself off, startled by her calm façade while being underneath him. He scratched the back of his head and tried to create more distance between them as the stiffness in the room quietly heightened. He silently glanced around the room, noticing how surprisingly clean it was for a room that hasn't been used. There was a wooden bookshelf tightly against the wall, reflecting from where they stood. A night stand, with a glass lamp on top of the black surface and next to it was a grand bed. Levi froze and shifted his eyes towards the corner again. A bed. His eyes widened in response to the sight. He then knew for sure at this point, that Hanji was beyond teasing him. She was going to completely destroy him.

He felt his head begin to pound relentlessly and his vision becoming muddled as he stood there leaning against the wall. He felt a an odd yet, pleasantly warm feeling probing from inside of him. His eyes flickered towards Mikasa, who stood there, watching his very being. Her soft brown eyes, penetrating the depths of his hollow blue eyes. Her black, silky hair, framing the lines of her jaws. Her pink flushed lips, that were pressed together tightly. The curves on her toned out body. All of it was causing him to go into a frenzy. He felt his hands clench tightly as he took all of his will power to control the prolonging hunger of wanting to touch her supple, light skin. It was vulgar. Impure. Mortifying. But at the same time it was sensual. Magnificent. And fascinating. The way she stood tall, not physically but within her complexion. It had attracted him, the way she carried herself when they fought. The way she remained composed to herself, settling within the world that she created inside her own perception. She was a great woman, with small amount of flaws. He wanted her. No. He ached for her.

Mikasa felt a tight chain binding around her chest, as she felt the factor of the liquid begin to surface from within her. It was making her feel light-headed, as if she were casting on a cloud that gently floated within the current of the wind. She glanced up at Levi, who was staring- No. Observing her. His gaze followed every inch of her body, head to toe, before making its' way back up to her eyes. His sudden gesture caused her to observe the structure of his jawline, the way it lightly touched the tips of his black hair. His broad shoulders, that protruded against the constraints of his collared shirt. And his dull eyes, that carried no emotion yet, flickered a flame within the depths of his iris. She then realized, that he was handsome for a man his age. Maybe it was the influence of the liquid but she couldn't deny that in this moment, she actually thought that Corporal Levi was admirable.

Levi felt Mikasa's eyes trailing over the edges of his body, or probably not. It was probably a delusion caused by the liquid, but at this moment he didn't care. It didn't help, the fact that her eyes tempted him when he was already over the edge. Her captivating figure, inviting him inisde the world of desires. It was a magnificent feeling yet it agitated him to an extent. The way his composure was being shaken. He tore his gaze away from her and sighed heavily, trying to calm down his screaming nerves.

"Ackerman." He said in a husky voice, letting out a long breath afterwards.

"Yes, Corporal?" She asked, trying to shake off her flustered thoughts.

He felt as if a mass of strings were pulling him, causing his body to stagger forward, reeling his lust with him towards her. She just stood there, without saying a word, as if she were welcoming him. He was completely losing his mind. Drowning in her. The liquid inside had dominated his vulnerability. He stood in front of her, face to face. The tension between them thriving as their breaths escaped the partings of their lips. It was nerving. The proximity of their bodies and the heat that radiated between them. Levi lifted his hand, lightly brushing his fingertips across the surface of her jaw line. She shivered in response, her eyes wavering at the sight of his gentle touch against her skin. This. Him. Her. It was so wrong yet at this moment, their thoughts had escaped them, carrying along their sense of judgement. Right now, they were purely acting from their lust. Like any other human out there. Because that's exactly what they were. Humans with the same needs. It was nature taking its' course right before their eyes.

Levi leaned in closer, his heart pounding against his chest as he neared her. He used his hand to gently move the strands of her hair away from her face before touching his lips against the nape of her neck. He slowly inhaled the scent that came off from her silky hair and felt his body being completely absorbed by her intoxicating aroma. He breathed, trailing his lips towards her ear before whispering. "Mikasa."

Mikasa's eyes widened in response, feeling a current, surging within her body. The way his lips felt against her bare skin. It was electrifying.

Levi felt the lower part of his body respond to the touch of her fair skin and the smell of her enticing scent. It was probing against the restriction on his pants. Bad. Daring him to do something forbidden. Forcing the muscles in his body to ache fiercely. Deep inside his thoughts, he knew he could take advantage of the situation but that would mean he would be giving in to Hanji's ways. He sighed heavily, placing his hands on her shoulders and pushing her away from him. He didn't want it to be like this. Not if her feelings weren't really there.

He scratched the back of his head, forcing himself to take control of what was left of his composure. "I'm sorry Ackerman." Was all he could force out of his mouth before retreating back to his corner.

~Meanwhile~

"Hanji, just what are you doing?" Erwin appeared from behind, noticing three separate TV screens in front of the overly excited squad leader.

"NO! IT WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET GOOD!" Hanji stood up, slamming her hands down on the surface of the table with brute force. She turned around to face the Commander, wiping the steam off her glasses. "I'm conducting an experiment."

He arched his eyebrow and stared closely into the second screen. "Is that.. our Corporal?" He asked pointing directly at the figure.

Hanji nodded. "Just giving him what he deserves." She grinned, teasingly.

The Commander sat down next to her, showing a hint of interest in his eyes. "Mikasa Ackerman as well?"

"Just watch chief. You'll understand why I'm doing all of this."

"Sounds interesting, but Hanji.." His voice trailed off, his eyes flickering towards her.

"Hm?" She looked up.

"There's blood gushing out of your nose." He chuckled, handing her a white handkerchief.

She grabbed it immediately and wiped away the red content, dripping out of her nose before responding back.

"The show's just beginning." She smirked, adjusting her glasses back in place.

(To Be Continued...)

I know I left it at bad spot, especially after it was getting good between Mikasa and Levi but I felt like it was getting OOC since they're both stubborn and all. Or maybe not? I just wanted to show how the liquid was causing their train of thinking to change, due to the reaction of their bodies. That explains why Mikasa wasn't really struggling with what Levi was doing XD Anyways! I feel like my nose is gushing from a nose bleed after typing that part between Levi and Mikasa. I'm not sure if I should add smut to this haha. Thank you for reading! It's a bit rushed since I'm up this late but please leave a review on your thoughts and what you would like to see throughout the story! :D
