Notes: A request from Krulla Chief who asked for Levi catching Eren and Mikasa slacking off on their chores and punishes them by having to do everyone else's chores as well. I normally never write from Levi's perspective but this one called for it, so it was a little different for me. I enjoyed writing it a lot though! I love picking on those two. The title is from "Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees.

It Started With a Whisper

Levi was fairly sure all of his squad knew how he liked things done around the cabin but making them clean from top to bottom a few times a week on top of training seemed like a good way to make sure they remembered. Sasha and Historia were cleaning the living room, Levi watching over to make sure they were dusting correctly; Braus got distracted fat too easily. He glanced in the kitchen where Connie was assigned to dishes while Armin worked on preparing things for dinner. Levi saw Jean lugging a bucket of water up the stairs to clean the wooden floors upstairs.

Everyone seemed to be doing decently, well, he'd be the judge of that when they were done. He walked over to the back door to check on Jaeger and Ackerman who were supposed to be cleaning the yard and gathering kindling. He felt a quick wave of annoyance when the inseparable brats where nowhere to be found.

"For fucks sake," he grunted, pushing open the door. In hindsight, it probably hadn't been best idea leaving those two alone but they were the ones who volunteered so Levi didn't care as long as they got their shit done.

The backyard looked mostly clean; gear packed away, loose leaves and branches cleared out. The ax was in a nearby stump with a small amount of kindling next to it but not nearly enough, and the two teenagers were still nowhere in sight. Levi figured at least they had to be safe; Ackerman would never let a hair on Jaeger's head get injured but they were more than likely slacking off somewhere. He guessed that's what he got for putting the constant in denial love birds together alone outside. He stepped out further into the yard trying to figure out where the hell those brats had run off to but it didn't take too long, not when there was a foot sticking out from behind the shed.

He really didn't get paid enough for this shit.

Already feeling disgusted at what he assumed he was about to go break up, he made his way over to the shed. Maybe he didn't remember what it was like to be sixteen years old, or whatever shit Hanji would say, but Levi was not even a little bit happy when he stood in front of the shed finding his two missing subordinates.

It was a little bit unusual to see Mikasa so submissive to anyone, but there she was on her back, her eyes closed tightly and head thrown back against the ground with Eren pressed up over her, his lips on her neck. The brat's shirt was long gone, his hips pressed up to hers and his hands grasping her thighs where her skirt had been bunched up to her waist. Well, at least Jaeger finally manned up and learned how to treat her judging by the look on her face, her hands tangled in his hair, and the small cries falling from her lips. Still, outside in the woods? That was disgusting.

"Get distracted?" Levi said gruffly to get their attention.

It worked; they both looked like they were going have a heart attack with the way Jaeger jumped off her, looking up with wide, horrified eyes while Ackerman couldn't even look up, trying to fix her skirt and the popped buttons on her shirt.

"S-sir...I…I…" Eren sputtered in probably a mix of horror, fear, and embarrassment.

Levi just held up his hand. "I don't give a damn what you brats want to do on your own damn time but not while slacking off on your goddamn chores. Get dressed and get your asses inside. You're doing everyone's chores now."

He heard mutterings of "Yes, sir," before he turned around to go back inside. Jesus, that was not what he wanted to see when he went out there; though he was a little impressed Jaeger even had it in him. Maybe Ackerman would stop following him around like a puppy dog hoping for affection.

Levi opened the back door and let it slam behind him.

"Is everything okay, sir?" Braus asked from the living room when he walked in.

"Wonderful for you. All of you are off the hook for the rest of the day. Put your shit down and scram."

No one moved not even Springer and Arlert in the kitchen or Kirstein on the stairs.

"Are you serious, sir?" Connie asked hesitantly.

"I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't. Your two comrades were slacking off and they'll be doing the rest of your chores."

The back door opened and the two in question made their walk of shame inside. Levi wasn't so much of an ass to out them further but he also knew this nosey group wouldn't stop until they knew what happened; he wasn't above making the two sweat a bit more. If Eren and Mikasa were red faced when Levi caught them, they sure as hell were now; they could barely look at each other let alone anyone else.

"What did you do?" Jean asked wide eyed from the steps.

"None of your goddamn business," Eren growled turning on Jean.

"Hey," Levi barked. "It's your own damn fault, Jaeger. Get cleaning."

Eren grunted but he took the rag Sasha had been using to dust and started to furiously wipe at the windowsill while Historia handed Mikasa a wet sponge.

A snort of laughter echoed through the quiet room causing Levi to glance over at Armin, his hand over his mouth trying to hide his clear amusement as Mikasa sat down on the floor to finish Historia's job. Arlert was a smart kid, he probably saw it all over his friend's face the moment they walked in; granted the others probably weren't that smart. Levi sat down on the couch to keep an eye on the cleaning and that they didn't just go abandon these too to finish what they started.

There was a silence that settled over the room, and an awkward one at that as Eren and Mikasa's embarrassment practically radiated off of them and the others not quite sure what to say or do.

"Armin." Eren's tone was warning as he looked over to the blond who was still trying not to laugh.

"I'm sorry, I really am," Armin said but he didn't look too sorry. "I just, I did try to warn you."

"Yeah, well, it's not like I could help it, okay."

Mikasa looked like she was trying to rub the wood off the floor or sink into it.

"Am I missing something?" Connie asked.

"No," Eren said firmly, moving to the next window.

"No, no." Sasha shook her head from the spot she took on the stairs. "Mikasa never gets in trouble. What were you two doing?"

Levi resisted saying "each other" just to get them all to shut up, but they already looked embarrassed enough; he wasn't going to stop the others though.

"Does no one understand minding their own business?" Eren mumbled, Mikasa still silent on the matter.

"No," Jean snorted, arms crossed against his chest as he eyed them. "Not when we are all stuck in a cabin together."

"Okay," Armin said, though he was at least trying to hold back his grin now. "They used to fall asleep all the time when they had to go out and do chores. I'm sure that's all that happened."

Those two were lucky they had a friend willing to blatantly lie to save their asses.

Connie snorted. "What's there to be embarrassed about then? That happens to me all the time."

Levi glanced sharply over to him.

"When I was a kid too," Connie finished quickly side stepping to where the others were on the stairs.

"I dunno," Sasha said thoughtfully. "Getting caught falling asleep together really shouldn't be that embarrassing. It's not like they don't do that every night."

Jean nearly fell off the stairs with an exclamation of "What!" the same time Mikasa hissed, "Sasha!".

She looked a little embarrassed herself. "I'm sorry, I assumed everyone already knew."

"Most of us did," Historia shrugged from her spot leaning up against one of the walls, looking rather disinterested in delving into the private lives of her comrades. Levi always knew he liked that girl.

"I guess most of us meaning everyone but Jean," Connie said, reaching up to scratch the back of his head.

Oh if Mikasa and Eren didn't look like they wanted to fall through the floor before the sure as hell did now. Eren kept glancing over to Levi, a look of poorly disguised worry on his face.

"Don't look at me like that, Jaeger. You're stupid if you didn't think I already knew."

"And you let them?" Jean looked like he was gonna pass out or punch someone; it was always hard to tell with Kirstein.

"I don't need to defend my actions to anyone, least of all you." Which seemed to put Jean back in his place. "Are all of you down gossiping like housewives?" He only got silence in return. "Good, now go do something useful."

Everyone but Armin went either upstairs or back in the kitchen though Connie made sure he shut the door behind him.

"Thanks for the overwhelming support," Eren mumbled when Armin too a few steps closer to him, Mikasa still scrubbing at the floor.

"I'm sorry," Armin said looking apologetic this time. "The situation was just funny for once instead of tragic."

"Arlert has a point," Levi said, pushing himself up to his feet. "So treasure the time your superior officer walked in on you fucking around."

There were those red faces and averted gazes again.

"Finish up this room and get cleaned up for dinner." He headed up the stairs to make sure Hanji didn't die doing some bat shit research project. "You two better come up with a good story because I'm not gonna hold off the vultures at the dinner table."

"Yes, sir," came the two muttered responses.

Jesus, he didn't nearly get paid enough to deal with horny teenagers. Levi glanced back down over the railing, Eren on his hands and knees to help Mikasa with the floor.

It really was about goddamn time though.
