Levi's POV: 

"What should we do with her, then?" I asked, casting another look in her direction. 

It seemed as though she was gradually becoming more relaxed with talking to my squad, and they looked like they were loosening up with her, too. I wondered if at some point, I'd finally see her give them a smile, or even a laugh. 

What the hell is wrong with me? Stop fucking staring, you moron, I thought to myself, before turning back to Erwin and Hange. 

Erwin thought for a moment, considering our options. He looked at me levelly. "She is under your command, Captain," he said. "I believe since you've spent the most amount of time with her thus far, you'll come up with an appropriate solution." 

"Tch, we've only spent one day together. I doubt that's enough time to judge something like this." 

"Well, sure," Hange said. "But you can't deny that your opinion is the most valid one around. It's not often someone is able to get on your good side so quickly." 

"All I said was she's different than we previously thought," I snapped. "She doesn't seem to mean us any harm after we talked in the field." 

"But why do you keep staring at her, Shorty?" Hange gave me a teasing smile. "She's pretty attractive, isn't she?"

I felt myself bristle with anger. "This has nothing to do with-"

"Either way." Erwin dismissed the tension between me and Hange with a wave. "It appears she opened up to you today, however slightly. I leave the decision up to you, Captain. Make it soon- we leave tomorrow." 

I looked back over at (f/n) and noticed her getting along particularly well with Eld, who appeared to have inched closer to her. They seemed to be engaged in a deep conversation, Eld looking as though he hung on her every word, his eyes entranced on her own, lips twisted in a slight smile. I hated the idea of my squad members getting too close to (f/n), especially when we knew so little about her. 

I stood up abruptly, startling both Hange and Erwin, and made my way over to their table.

(f/n)'s POV: 

I was in the middle of talking with Eld when I noticed Levi storming over to us, his expression twisted with a hint of anger. Everyone at the table stopped their conversation to nervously look at the tense Captain, his unrelenting glare focused on me and Eld. 

Suddenly aware of how close me and Eld were sitting, I tried to subtly shift a little more to my left.             

"(f/n), I've been told our room is set-up," he said between pursed lips. "Follow me. We've got things to discuss, brat." 

I felt my eyes narrow at the unwarranted anger Levi expressed so harshly. 

"Our room?" Gunther whispered to Oluo. 

I stood, saying my goodbyes to the members at the table. Eld clasped my hand, gave me a warm smile, and thanked me for the conversation. I thought I saw Levi direct his glare to Eld. 

"Lead the way," I said, and I followed Levi up the stairs to our alleged room. 

We entered what turned out to be an office space with a bedroom linked to the side. I was to reside in the bedroom, while Levi would make himself comfortable in the office. 

"I hope this door locks," I said, going over to examine the door that led to the bedroom. "Where are you going to sleep, anyway?"

"Tch, come here and sit down," Levi muttered.
