ReaderXLevi - Nothing Means Something

"I told them you were having girlfriend problems and they all volunteered," she replies cheerfully. Levi stares at each individual around the table until they one-by-one look away, unwilling to hold his gaze.

His attention freezes on Eld, "Why are you really doing this?"

For a moment, the man hesitates, most likely considering his options. For someone usually classified as blunt, he seems to be doing a lot of considering for such a simple answer. "If [Name]-san breaks up with you, it is a concern that you might become more like your old self," Eld finally replies.

Everyone around the table has the sense to not meet his gaze this time around. "And how exactly did have I changed?" Levi asks after a long moment of daring anyone to say something.

However, before Eld can comment, Hanji cuts in. "Levi, stop scaring your squad," she scolds teasingly, earning a scowl from the small captain. But with no real grounds to argue, he sighs before taking a seat, hoping that she will actually start talking about the reason they are here.

"Alright, you all know where to go. Levi and I will be staking out the restaurant from the coffee shop across the street," Hanji suddenly say, confusing the captain. He arrived at the same time as they all did, so how do they already know where to go? Before he can ask, everyone leaves the room in a hurry and Hanji pulls him to his feet, despite having only just sat down. "C'mon, let's go."

"Go where, you shitty four-eyes?" He demands, pulling his arm free from Hanji's grip. However, she merely catches his wrist and drags him along as she leaves the room at a speed walk, which forces Levi to focus on keeping up and not tripping on his own feet.

Hanji, instead of answer, giggles at his question and keeps pulling him along. A few people stop in the hallways to salute and any higher-ranking officers turn to look, but do not stop them. Many people think Hanji is crazy, so they never really try to get in her way. And not for the first time, he finds this to not fall in his favor. Nevertheless, he does not attempt to break the crazy girl's hold under after they have left the military building and are traveling through the busy streets.

He manages to yank his wrist free. However, instead of making his escape to get back to his duties like he would much rather be doing, Levi continues to follow Hanji – at his own pace – until they reach their destination, a small coffee shop across from where his girlfriend works. [Name] recently started working at the hospital's administration desk. From what he can tell, she is quite good at her job, as her smile can brighten anyone's day, Levi's included.

"What are we doing here?" Levi asks as Hanji makes him sit down in at one of the outside tables. The strange girl then buys two newspapers while they wait for the server to approach them.

Since he has already eaten his fill during this morning's breakfast, he sees no reason to order anything filling and instead orders a small cup of black tea. Hanji, however, gives the poor server a very specific list of the items she wants and the boy tries to keep up with her words, practically scribbling at the end. When she finishes, the boy practically stumbles over himself to get inside, probably wanting to repeat the order while the parts he failed to write down are still fresh in his memory.

Levi raises an eyebrow at his companion, but she neglects to notice, her attention focused on the hospital's glass doors. He follows her attention and finds that he is able to see [Name] easily from this vantage point. She is currently filing away some papers.

As he is watching her, Levi notices someone entering the hospital and nearly rises from his seat in annoyance when he realizes it is Oluo who is trying to sneak inside. However, the man fails to do so and [Name] seems to call out a greeting to the man. This catches the soldier off-guard and he immediately runs out of the hospital waiting room. Levi releases a long sigh and Hanji proceeds to laugh until she is unable to breathe, and continues even then.
