It was morning and the sun from the window had hit Norie's eyes which made her stir in her sleep, she opened them and sighed.
She then realized that she wasn't wearing anything so she pulled the blanket closer to her exposed body. Norie then felt warm arms wrap around her.
"Good morning"Levi mumbled into her hair kissing the back of her neck.
"Morning"norie mumbles back.
"I didn't get the chance to thank you last night...we fell asleep right after"He says with his hands still running up and down her soft bare back.
"You don't have to thank me...that's what wives are for"
Levi shoved her off the bed, she yelled a bit as she hit the floor and clicked his tongue in annoyance at her comment.
"What the hell? I was just joking"she says getting up and wrapping her arms around her chest.
"Mhm"He says as Norie heard some sarcasm in his voice.
"We got to get up, we need to check on that Yeager kid"
---------------------------
They walk down the steps to head to the cells underground to check in Eren, it was pretty dark so they brought an oil lamp.
"You're walking funny"Levi comments.
Norie shoved him as his lips twitched at his joke.
They reached the cell and Norie says "Good morning-"
She cut herself off when they didn't see him.
They froze and looked at each other in worry.
------------------------
Norie and Levi quickly made their way out of the cells and busted through the door that leads to the main room they were in last night.
"Where is he?"Levi said loudly.
"Eren!"Norie yelled in worry.
But then they saw Hange and Eren sitting at the table.
Norie sighed in relief and Levi just realeased the tension he had on his shoulders.
"-i just told you when you were a trainee, you knew all that right?"they heard Hange say.
"Right"Eren said, with eyes bags and a tired expression on his face.
"Hange are you serious?"norie said and went to Eren and grabbed his face.
"What he was really interested!"hange defended herself.
"You okay Eren?"norie asks softly.
"You're...Pretty..."he mumbles staring back at her.
Norie looks at Hange with a glare and Hange smiles nervously.
"He's right you are pretty-but I need to go over it one more time just so he could hear my hypothesis!"Hange said.
"No four eyes, you wored the brat down"Levi says.
"How does a nice nap work for you?"Norie asks Eren.
"I'd love that"
Suddenly a scout opened the doors and said "Is squad leader Hange and captain Norie here?"
They all turned to look.
"The test subjects, both Titans were killed"
Hanges eyes widened as she ran out, norie sighed and turned to Levi.
"Watch the kid, this is gonna be really hard for Hange"norie says.
Levi says "I think we'll head their too, but I'll let him rest for another 5 minutes" and looks at Eren who had rested his head on the table and passed out in a slumber.
------------------------------
"Sawney! Bean!"Hange yelled.
Norie got off her horse and went towards Hange.
"This can't be real...Tell me it isn't real!"Hange screamed
"Hange-Look Sawney! Bean! Look! Daddy's here!"Hange cut norie off and grabs her to face her towards the Titan skeletons.
"Norie they killed our children! Why?!"Hange screamed and she held onto Norie's legs.
Norie pat her head and saw that Levi and Eren had arrived, he looks at her and nod his head to tell her that they have to go, norie nod back telling him she'll catch up.
"Our kids! Norie!"Hange screamed.
"Hange honey calm down-Don't tell me what to do! I'm the mother here!"
------------------------------------
After sometime of Norie trying to calm Hange down, and minutes of Hange yelling that Norie never paid child support or did anything to better their "marriage". But then Hange regret saying that and cried again, even though Norie didn't care what she said.
She was back with the squad, they were currently taking a break in a field.
Levi rubbed the bridge of the horses nose as norie stared at the sky.
"The sky looks pretty today"she says.
"Mhm"Levi said and admire the sky with her.
"Do you want to see her at night with a cup of tea?"Norie asks with a light smile
Levi turned to her and said "I'd like that"
She smiled back at him.
"Did you understand what the commanders question meant?" Gunther asked.
Norie looked at the squad as they spoke.
"Did you all understand?"Eren asks
Everyone answered with a no, Eren turns to Norie and she just shook her head.
On the way here, Eren told her about the small interaction he had with Erwin. He asked him what did he think the real enemy is, which to her seemed like a grammatically incorrect question but she always found herself stupid so she wouldn't be surprised if it was correct.
The incorrect question or her being stupid?
Honestly she wouldn't mind hearing the answer to both.
"It may be a lie to claim we understand everything"Oluo began
"But I think-its possible this mission has another goal"
"But the commander decided it was best not to reveal that fact to the soliders. So we should just focus on getting their and back"Gunther finished.
"Believe in the commander"
"Right"Eren says.
"That's all the training for today, prepare to head back"
-------------------------------------
They made it back and got off their horses, Eren was currently picking up the droppings from the horses as Levi and Norie went to out their horses back in the stables.
"Captain Norie! I saw my classmates walk by! Can I go see them?!"Eren asked happily.
Norie smiled lightly and said "I don't see why not, just don't go to far"
"Thank you captain!"Eren said and ran off.
"Why didn't he ask me?"Levi says.
"Maybe if you weren't so stiff in the face maybe he would've asked you. At least try to smile, go"norie says.
Levi stared back and Norie says "why aren't you doing it?"
"I am"
She stared at her husband's face and then just shook her head at his joke.
"Well excuse me while I introduce myself, I don't want to seem rude"norie says and turns to erens classmates.
"I just don't want to"Levi responded and Norie doesn't say anything and continued to walk.
"Oi Eren"norie says.
Eren turns to her and smiles brightly "look guys this is Captain Norie! Captain these are my friends"
Everyone says a hello excitedly as they got closer.
"Oh my god it's actually you! My name's Sasha!"she said as she placed her hands in her cheeks and jogged in place happily.
"My name's Connie!"a boy with a shaved head said.
"I'm Armin!"
Norie looked and smiled.
"I remember you"She says.
Armin felt his cheeks turn red and he says "you do?"
"Yeah, you're the one who waved at me back when I was heading out for the expedition. Nice to see you up close"Norie says smiling
"Yeah...nice..."Armin says looking away smiling lightly.
"Hello I'm Christa!" A blonde girl says.
"I'm Reiner"
"And I'm Bertholdt-I'm Jean! I know I seem very much prettier then the others so don't go fainting on me captain!"Jean cut him off.
Eren glared at him and said "back off jean!"
"Shut up! No one asked you!"
"No one asked you horse face!"
"Boys enough"norie says
"Yes captain Norie~"they both said in a dream like state and turned to look at her.
She shook her head and then she turns to Mikasa who is just staring at her.
"And you must be Mikasa, nice to finally meet you"
"In the court room...you did something to me. What was that?"Mikasa asked.
Everyone looked and Norie just chuckled.
"A story for another time"She says and then takes a piece stem of a leaf out of Mikasa's hair.
Mikasa looks back at her, her face soften.
"It was nice meeting you all, I look forward with working with you"Norie said with a soft face.
She turned around and walked away.
"She's like a goddess~"Sasha gushes.
"Her voice is so calm, I could hear her talk for hours and hours"Armin says
"I want to work for her"Connie said staring at the back of Norie's head.
"Well I get to see her everyday!"Eren said bragging and placing his fists on his hips.
"Ahhh! You don't have to rub it in our faces Eren!"Everyone but Mikasa whined out.
"Damn you Eren! I'm jealous!"Jean screams out in annoyance.
