A day with the baby sitter

Ch- 1 Cleaning Chores

It was a lazy summer afternoon and many of the cadets didn't feel like doing work or even try moving around the small palace because of the hot humid weather.

But with the hell that they lived in, they weren't allowed to rest or lay around doing nothing. Cause if they do, the Coporal might show up anytime, and if he caught them slacking off . He would give them cleaning orders, making their life extra miserable as hell.

And there's no way they would live to that, not even Eren. He made sure he did everything he had to do on time before the Coporal might say or order him to do so. Altho even if he did everything he thought was right and done. Levi wouldn't be satisfied enough with his work and he would let him redo his task again. It was tiring but he had no choice but to obey his superiors orders rather than facing Heicho's wrath.

After cleaning up his room and the whole dining hallway. He rested for a few minutes and started cleaning up again. Armin then entered the dining hall, carrying a tray of dishes and noticed how tired Eren looked. He then approached him placing a hand on ther others shoulder.

"Hey, You've been cleaning this whole place since morning. You should take a break."  He advised and gestured him to sit down.

But Eren wouldn't buldge and shaked his head as he spoke through his cleaning mask "I already took a break a few minutes ago. I can't stop now, I have to continue and get this done."

"But you looked tired. And you need more rest after that fight you had with the female titan and the Armored titan a few days ago. If Miss Hanji or Captain was here, they would agree for your sake." Armin sighed in concern as he insisted that Eren should take a break but sadly he failed to convince him for he was as stubborn as a rock.

"I'll be fine Armin,you should be the one taking some rest."  Eren then continued, carrying tables  and chairs then re-arranging them to their right position.

"If Mikasa was here, she wouldn't allow you to over work yourself like this." He sighed once more and crossed his arms as he mentioned Mikasa's name. And just after he did, Mikasa busted through the doors of the hallway after she heard her name, causing both teenage men to startle in fear right infront of her.

"You both were talking about me?" She asked with the same stoic expression on her face.

"M-Mikasa! Damn it, don't scare me." Eren held his chest as it was racing rapidly from her sudden appearance, he thought that it was Heicho and sighed in relief to know that it was just her.

Armin chuckled nervously as a sweat appeared on his forehead. "U-uh it wasn't like that Mikasa-chan. I just mentioned it cause Eren wouldn't stop cleaning."

Mikasa then looked at Eren with that same expression and approached him, taking the huge dining table and re-arranging them in place. She was quicker than him which surprised him and annoyed him at the same time.

"H-hey! That's my job."  He said as he let down the chair he just carried and held the table Mikasa held.

"Mikasa. You should rest too." Armin suggested and remembered that she was required to take rest to regain her strength.

"See. You need to rest too. Now let me handle this"  Eren said but she shook her head and pulled the chair away from him.

"I can do this. You're the one who needed to rest more than I do Eren. You fought so hard." She then placed the chair to it's place and took another one which Eren grabbed hold on to as well.

"Just let me be Mikasa. Don't treat me like a kid. You're the one who needs to rest here."  She then blushed when she felt her hands wrapped under his, without him even realizing it. Eren just stared at her in confusion and asked "W-Why are you red??! Do you have a fever."
