Scars to Your Teacup [Levi Ackerman x OC]

Ch. 54 - Twin Powers & Hair Stylist

Scout HQ, 1 AM

3rd Person's POV

Jean wakes up from the motion of Connie getting up out of his bottom bunk bed. Jean cocks his head past the railing, looking down, he whispers not to wake up the others. "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night."

"Sasha's hungry."

"What the—How in the world do you know that?"

"Twin power. You wouldn't get it."

Jean doesn't. But Connie and Sasha always seem to read each other's minds, which is frantically impressive. But then he concludes they just share one brain cell together.

Ryan, unable to sleep, stands out of bed after overhearing them the next bunk over. "Can I join?"

"Hell yeah," They wrap around each other's shoulders, quietly exiting the male dorms. Sasha just happened to exit the female dorm at the same time. The trio headed straight to the kitchen to raid the pantry. Ryan cashed in his solid with Finn, who was night patrol, to keep quiet about their little trip.

Scarlett and Levi's carriage just arrived at HQ, after riding an hour back from their date in Trost. The couple walked in holding hands, ready to get to bed. As they head for the stairs, lights are emitting through the door to the dining hall.

Scarlett sighs, already knowing three suspects she has mind who'd be this late raiding the pantry. "You go upstairs, they're mine, I'll go deal with them." She quickly pecks his cheek, before dragging her feet to the dining hall.

. . .

"Off to bed, the three of you." Scarlett guides them back to their dorms, first going to drop off the boys since it was the closest. Sasha hugs Connie and Ryan goodnight.

Scarlett walks inside the male dorms, making sure those two are going straight to bed. "Adrian?" Scarlett squints in the darkness to see Adrian fall asleep on Ryan's bottom bunk.

Ryan shrugs, "He doesn't like sleeping alone in his office." He hugs Scar, goodnight afterward, as he snuggles closely to Adrian due to the little space they have.

Scar turns her attention to Connie who slowly slides to bed, she bends down to kiss the top of his head. "Goodnight, Connie."

"Goodnight Scar," he yawns with his stomach full, making it easy to fall into sleep.

Scarlett reaches up a fist to Jean's bed, knowing he's still awake. Otherwise, he snores, quite loudly might she add. They quickly fist bump, "Goodnight Scar."

"Goodnight Jean."

Before Scarlett has a chance to leave, she sees Armin sleeping with a book on him. Scarlett just smiles, taking the book out of his hand, placing it underneath his bottom bunk with his many other books. She ruffles his blonde hair, before looking up to Eren's top bunk. His foot was hanging out. Before leaving, Scarlett gently grabs a hold of his foot to tug back into his bed.

Eren's POV

I felt a tug at my foot.

Another memory triggers, as I find myself seeing the world from Aaron's viewpoint.

Start of Memory

We just lost our first battle in the last three years of winning every single one. Not only that, but we lost our Jaw Titan shifter. Under Scarlett's reign; she was always ten steps ahead of the Marleyans. Despite not being labeled as royalty, she still was well educated on all the Nine Titans' abilities and powers—using it to her full advantage.
