PROLOGUE: Something about this ship is ODD...

 { Year of  1888  France}

      
The clock ticked by and the night turned to a frigid 2:00 morning shadow. As Levi finished his report, he let out a sigh before stamping the paper and having his messenger pick it up. Levi had pulled five all nighters to get it in with only a break to solve a seemingly unsolvable case for the idiotic junior detectives or small bits of food with a cup of tea. There was still technically four days until the report was due, but Levi enjoyed the luxury of getting things done as soon as possible and then aimlessly observing the world until something new occurred.

Levi's clock  rung as soon as the small hand touched 3:00 .Hollow footsteps ushered through the hallways, and Levi internally groaned as those bold heavy footsteps rumbled closer and closer to his office. He immediately turned to glance at the tall buff man standing before him.

"Again, Levi?"

"You ought to just accept it by now," Levi responded . "I have no intentions of halting my work just for some shuteye. If anything, I should be questioning why you are awake this early, Erwin." The blonde man ran his hand through his  hair before leaning on the frame of the office.

"As your supervisor , I have the authority to walk wherever I want. And by order, I want you out of this office," Erwin scowled.

"Tch," Levi scoffed. "What makes you think I should listen to y—" Erwin held up a baggie of tea leaves from his pocket and waved it nonchalantly across Levi's face. The man paused staring at the contents and then did his signature 'tch' once more. "Hand it over, Mr. Smith, and I'll leave." Erwin grinned triumphantly and tossed over the little bag.

"Hope you enjoy your tea.~

Looking at the tea leaves Levi simply stuff the bag into his pockets. Walking and locking his study room.

    "Fucking eye-brows," he muttered as dawn approached with an arrogant glow.

    A loud THUD on the door at 7:00 sharp roused Levi from a restless sleep. Although a few hours had passed, he felt as if he'd only closed his eyes. He knew exactly who was knocking at his door and only got up to unlock the entrance before returning to his comfortable seat. The door slammed into the wall with a resounding crash and in sauntered a certain ecstatic woman with foggy ass glasses.

"Morning, Levi!" Hanji cooed as she rummaged through the French butter cookie Levi made about two days ago. As cliche as it sounded Levi loved to make French butter cookie to eat during tea time .

"Get out of my flat, shitty glasses" he ordered. But she just snorted and continued to munch on the cookies. Levi groaned as he stared at the mad woman. Hanji Zoe was an old friend of his who as majored in human anatomy. With a job like that you'd think she wouldn't have time wake Levi up every morning. But this is Hanji we're talking about..

"You're getting crumbs all over my floor," Levi scowled. "What are you even doing here?"

"Well," she began. "I heard a little birdie say that somebody going to aboard a ship to Germany."

      "So, that doesn't explain why your here, " Levi uttered crossing his legs.

    "To come witcha short man." Hanji announced running out of Levis flat.

       Not even bothered by the woman bolting out his room Levi rosed up. Slauntering toward the kitchen grabing a few tea leaves. With no hesitation he began to ground up the leaves untill there was no green remains.  He swiftly placed the remains in decorative china. Grabing a teapot of boiling water he carefully poured the scorching water . And in a few seconds the tea was ready to drink.

   Walking back into the living room  with his tea. Anouther loud thud was heard outside his door . A grunt erupted from Levis abdomen as he uttered a muffled 'come in'.

        Once again the the crazy woman from early walked into the flat but this time she held a travel bag.

      "Absolutely not," said Levi blowing some steam from his tea taking a sip.

       Hanji's jaw droped lookimg as if she was a dead fish. "BUT LEVII," she whinned but his response was still no.

FOUR HOURS LATER!!!!
         

          Wearing his black boots that go up just below the knees shine in the morning light thanks to excessive shiny. Tanned pants were tucked into the boots as a loose white shirt hung off his body. It was about time he aboard the ship to Germany.
