It felt as if I was repeating each day over and over again. The same old boring routine getting duller and duller every day. Not a thing would change. Until one faithful morning...
Levi awoke one early morning to an annoying sound coming from somewhere in his room. He felt around on his nightstand and found the alarm clock that was making the noise. While attempting to turn it off he ending up breaking it. "Are you kidding me? Not again." He said annoyed as he picked up alarm clock. He looked at the broken clock and saw that it said '8:45 AM.'
"The heck? I thought I set this thing to 10 am."
He sighed as he threw the remnants into the trash can next to his desk. Levi had a pretty big room for an apartment. He walked over to his desk to see old pictures of him and his friend Petra hanging on the wall. He sighed, "Why did it have to be you." Levi said sadly while looking at a picture of him and his friend Petra Ral.
He walked out of his room and started his day by cleaning his apartment from top to bottom. By the time he finished cleaning and eating it was 10:16. "I don't start working till eleven. Guess I could take a walk."
He got dressed and headed out of his apartment when his phone starting ringing. He looked and saw that it was Eren Jaeger. "What do you want brat?" he said sternly to his old acquaintance.
"Geesh, you don't have to be so mean. It's almost Christmas. And your birthday!" Eren said happily for some reason. Levi looked down, shocked, that someone even remembered his birthday.
"So what if it is almost my birthday you brat? It doesn't concern you." He said with a annoyed tone. "Because you're our friend. So it does whether you like it or not. Now ,what do you want for your birthday?"
Levi wondered why he even cared about him, he had been nothing but a boss to him. Suddenly Eren interrupted his thoughts. "Mikasa was thinking of getting you some cleaning stuff if you wanted. The store might have some coupons an..." Levi hung up on him.
"Tsk that brat." He said as he swiftly grabbed his keys and messenger bag and left his apartment. As he was walking down the small street in front of his home he noticed something run into the nearby bushes. He stopped and peered into the bush to see what it was. He noticed something small and gray go by in a flash. He felt around in the bush and felt something fuzzy. He managed to grab it before it ran away. He pulled it out of the bush and found it was a small gray kitten.
"Oi', cat what the heck are you doing out here." He looked at the small kitten and saw that it had cuts on it."Hmm no collar. How the heck did you get hurt?" He petted the little cat's chin as it purred loudly. "I don't have enough money to take him to the vet," he thought, "Ok cat. I guess you can stay with me for now." He looked down at the small creature and the cat almost seemed to smile.
He stood up with the kitten in his arms and walked over to his work place. He stopped at the entrance and looked up at the sign. It read, "Survey Corps Bar". He took his keys out of his pocket and unlocked the door and went inside.
