For the next few days, Levi and I barely saw each other. Both of us were extremely busy. I was stuck with helping out the other squads, training with the other members of the Levi squad, and helping Hange with her experiments. As for Levi, he's been busy with paperwork, at meetings with Erwin and other high ranking members of the military, and helping prepare for the upcoming expedition.

My eyes open to the bright light filling the room. Forcing myself to stand up, I stretch my stiff arms and then head to the restroom. I splash water on my face and brush my teeth before changing into a dark red tank top with black shorts.

Once I leave my room, I soon realize that HQ is completely empty. I walk into the kitchen and grab a banana on the counter. All of a sudden, two arms wrap around my waist. My body tenses up as I look over my shoulder. Levi stands there as my cheeks turn bright red.

"Morning."

"G-Good morning."

"I've missed you, brat."

I slowly turn around to face him. "Levi, I've missed you too," I admit. A small smile curves around his lips as he pulls me closer to him. I nervously bite my lip as I stare into his intense yet gentle steel grey eyes.

After a few seconds, he steps away from me. "Abby, finish your breakfast," Levi states. "Then, get changed because I'm taking you out." I run a hand through my hair and nod lightly before he leaves the kitchen.

I hurriedly eat my banana and hurry back to my room. I close my bedroom door behind me and swing my closet doors open before searching for the perfect outfit. In a matter of minutes, I find a captivating, white, black, and red outfit. It looks like this:

I change into the outfit before entering the restroom. I put on some foundation, powder, and mascara before brushing out my hair. Once that's finished, a knock comes from my bedroom door. I open the door, being face to face with Levi. With his arms crossed, he wears a white shirt, black sweater, and black pants. He looks exactly like this:

He stares at me with wide eyes as my cheeks burn up. Why does he always look so good? I think to myself. "Abby, you look stunning," he compliments. I nervously bite my lip and tuck a strand of hair behind my ear as my heart hammers within my chest.
