Heyy guys, I'm back. A quick recap of the last chapter because its been so so long-
Levi borrows a romance book from Mae to figure out his own feelings. Mae has an awkward lunch with Mr. Mendes, and his son Ivan, and then the next day she shifts to the Survey Corps Headquarters. Where Hange takes notice of her feelings towards Levi, and catches her drinking with Levi on the battlement at night.
Also I'll mention Mae's eye color in this chapter. I did talk about this in the author's note at the start of the fic.
The song for this chapter is Cold by Novo Amor
━━━━━━━━━━━━
The smell of freshly baked bread floats through the mess hall. It is always loud here, filled with sounds of scraping chairs, laughs, and the banging of utensils.
But today the sound of the grandfather clock at the far right, sticks out as Levi's patience wears thin.
He taps his boot to every ticking second as he stands in front of a table, in the far left corner, right below the window. Eld, Oluo and Gunther chatter in front of him. Sprawled on the seat and munching on their bread.
He never has lunch with them, because he hates eating in such a messy, loud place. He prefers to eat in the quiet walls of his office, but today he is here to discuss an important matter with them.
Two months from now the Survey Corps will be heading out of the walls again. An outer supply base had to be made. And now that a secure location had already been found in the last mission, by the elite group that ventured out. It was finally time to let things fall into play.
It is no secret, but this time, his squad has a special mission to complete. Erwin has planned everything out, and Levi wants to have extra training sessions with them so that all of them make it back alright.
Oluo, Eld and Gunther are here, having their breakfast in front of him. The grandfather clock chimes as it strikes 8. And Levi sighs as once again Petra is late.
Girls and all the time they take to get dressed.
He places the papers in his hand on the table. They contain details of what his squad is supposed to do, their position and everything. A breeze swoops in and his eyes flick up to the huge window, carved on the wall.
His eyes land on the battlement, on the other side of the castle. And his heart feels giddy as he remembers the previous night.
Some ale, the moon, and Mae. Her drunken babbling, and the warmth of her skin.
"Hey," A voice breaks in, and Levi curses because he knows exactly who it is.
It's her again. And how is he supposed to face her after all that happened yesterday? But his back is towards her, and he can always pretend that it's someone else, with the sweet voice of hers.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"I just came to meet you." She chimes, and Levi rolls his eyes, unable to stop the faint pink that tinges his cheeks at her words.
Great. There goes his heart prancing again.
He looks down at the papers he kept on the table. And Olou, Eld, and Gunther look baffled, at the person who is speaking to their stoic captain with such sweetness and making him blush.
Levi feels anxious. He can sense their gazes on the top of his head. It is intrusive, and he is ashamed of the side of him that his squad is seeing.
He doesn't want anyone to see him like this, but Mae's here and for once he feels unsure of his own reactions.
