14• Barging in

I roll my eyes, obviously annoyed by Eren. It's so obvious he cares for Mia, and I hate that it bothers me so much.

Turning away from us, Eren embraces Mia and though I can't hear, I notice him whispering something to her as a blush grazes her cheeks.

My brows furrow, as disgust masks my usual placid face.  I attempt to compose myself,  breathing in as I glance towards Levi whose brow is raised much like mine. He looks pissed.

Mia suddenly pulls away from Eren, making her towards the still wailing Sasha. And nothing unexpected - she begins yelling at her and calling her ' weak ' and by the look on Connie's face,  he isn't taking it to well. I guess he has a thing for potato girl.

- Levi's POV -

After Mia shut her self up, everyone began cleaning again - and thankfully too, there's no way I'm staying in such a filthy place.

I move my eyes away from the windowsill I was dusting and towards Mia, whose currently standing in the corner of the room. Unsurprisingly, not cleaning.  I growl, wanting to walk over there and yell at her but when her eyes meet mine, it's like i can't move an inch.

A soft smile appears on her. She's trouble, chaos really. Everywhere she goes, she manages to piss at least one person off.

But that smile.

That stupid smile, that I barely see.

Makes me fall for her even harder. Not that I'd tell her.

I gain feeling back in my body, as I continue to make my way over to her but suddenly a bed room door slams open.

" SHORT STACKK " Oh no. Four eyes is awake.

Light laughter escapes the room, at my obvious irked self.

" What do you want ? "

Thankfully, the room quiets down and continues cleaning so I can deal with shitty glasses.

" Tomorrow we're gonna do some EXPERIMENTS !! "

" Okay. " I roll my eyes, turning back to walk over to Mia.

" PERFECT ! EREN YOU HEAR THAT ?! "

I ensure to zone out anything else the titan freak says, as I continue to make my way over to her.

" What's up, shorty ? " a soft grin appears on her face, as she absentmindedly cleans the still filled with dust windowsill. This notably irks me, as I see her wipe up and down with still no change.

" Well since it's obvious you can't clean at all, I better start. " I shove her out the way, pulling out my cloth.

She nudges my arm lightly, as I feel a light warmth flush through my face. " Sorry, i guess i missed the class where they're taught me how to clean windowsills. "

—— Time Skip to post experimenting ——

" Hey Mia ? " And if my day couldn't get worse, I was so lucky when I didn't have to deal with ginger Christa anymore but now I'm dealing with the original.

" So you're speaking again ? " I mock, remembering back to how she had shut up after Ymir left - ahh, the good ol' days.

Eren appears, coming to stand next to me in the kitchen.

" Uh, yeah.. " pity

Eren flashes her a smile, and continues to bore on about ' how glad he is '

" Look, I'm sorry but - " she sighs, and perhaps I should of payed more attention but the mere thought of having to talk to Christa for more than a second, is stuff straight out of a nightmare.

" I'm not the same girl I was, okay? " yeah, and you sill suck. " I'm not the same good girl Christa anymore.. "

I turn my gaze to Eren, who was already staring at me.

" Good, because no offense but I didn't really like the old you - your kindness.. it was so fake and uh - unnatural. " I smirk at him, he isn't usually the blunt type - I kinda like it.

" Oh.. okay then.. " Tears brink in the eyes, but this only makes me wanna smile some more.

" Yeah, you're kinda annoying. " Eren's jaw drops at my statement, quickly grabbing my wrist.

" She means were! You were annoying ! Right, Mia ? " he attempts to correct me, but I only roll my eyes back. " Sure. "

" Thank you. " of course she'd say thank you to that. I turn away, removing Erens grip on my wrist as I walk straight out of the cabin.

——— Evening ———
—— Erens POV ——

" SIR ! " a soldier barges in, interrupting all our dinners.

" What is it ? " Levi jumps up, the soldier swiftly handing him a letter and rushes back out.

" Levi, What is it ? " Hange rises from her seat, walking towards the Captain.

" Pastor Nic has been murdered. " some gaps escape the room, and Hanges expression suddenly falters, perhaps she knew the guy.

" And the scouting regiment has been turned over. The MP's are coming for us - we need to leave now, and make sure it looks like we were never here. "

The remainders sitting at the table suddenly get up, trying to make things look so clean it's unclean ? But anyway, I have other plans in mind. I look towards one of the bedroom doors, knowing in there.. Mia lays sleeping.

" I'll go wake her up. " I announce, rushing to get to her room.

I walk into the dimly lit room - i forget how scared she is of the dark. After her parents died, she became so afraid of it.. I never really learnt why.

But still, she looks so calm. Curled up in a ball, the blankets hugging her figure. I sit next to her, my eyes grazing over her sleeping self.

She looks so at peace - so happy. I don't want to wake her, because I know the moment I do the tiny little smile will disappear.

I sigh, taking in the last bit of her serenity before shaking her arm. " L-Levi ? " she mutters, that bastard. A pit of fury rises in my chest but it all disappears when she grabs my hand.

Her hands are cold, and calloused from all the fighting she's endured. And I can't help but feel sad about it, she doesn't deserve this life. Not one bit.

" A-Eren? " she appears confused, letting go of my hand. Hurt and jealously wash over my face as the little question at the back of my head rings through.

Would she of let go if I was Levi ?

" We need to go, the MP's are coming for us.." Her eyes widen, and even with her injured leg, she jolts up and grabs her jacket - quickly tying her shirt up again.

" Shit, lets go ! " and with that she leaves, leaving me in the darkened area all alone.
