"They weren't always alone."

The day of the most dangerous mission of the Survey Corps was to arrive tomorrow. Retaking Wall Maria was an important mission with a minimal success rate. And the survival rate? Lower than a typical Scout mission. 

And it happened to be your first mission as a Scout since you were taken out of the Underground City you grew up in. Tomorrow would be the first time you venture outside the walls. But for the moment, you were sitting next to Hange, across Levi as one of the Squad Leaders was announcing something. 

"This may be a special night, but let's not let the public find out! Behave like soldiers without causing a ruckus!"

Though his voice entered your hearing, your focus was nowhere near there. Your concentration was all built up to what was on the plate at the center of the table. In the Underground, you've only eaten whatever you could get your hands on. 

But never once, have you ever had the luxury of enjoying well-cooked meat like the one that was displayed in front of you. Your mouth was watering just at the sight of it, your eyes unable to look elsewhere. 

"Tonight's the night before we retake Wall Maria! Cheers!" 

His voice was drowned out by the echoes of the soldiers fighting for meat. You weren't much of an exception since you quickly took a bite out of the piece of meat Levi had put on your plate. Hange watched with amusement as you savored the flavourful taste of the meat. 

You paid no attention to your surroundings as you devoured the luxurious meal. But you still ate the meat slices slowly to avoid choking on them. As everyone was busy enjoying their food, not a single person there noticed the small smile Levi had on his complexion. 

But he couldn't help it. He thought you looked absolutely wondrous as you had luxurious food for the first time. Levi knew he never stopped loving you but if he was a complete stranger who saw you so happy living in that moment, he would fall in love with you instantly. 

If by any chance, he did stop loving you -which he knew was impossible-, seeing you like that would cause him to fall in love with you all over again. If Levi died and was reincarnated, he knew he would love you. 

And he always will. Again and again. 

Levi Ackerman will always love you. 

You heard familiar voices coming from not too far from where you're sitting with Hange, Moblit, Erwin, and Levi. Looking up as you took a large bite, you saw Connie with arms around Sasha who was biting Jean's hand, causing the latter boy to let out a loud scream. Swallowing, you turned to look at Levi who bore a tired expression from seeing his squad members.

Turning to Hange, you asked, "Shouldn't someone stop them? Like maybe their Captain?" 

"They'll figure it out themselves," Hange waved a dismissive hand. 

You let it go since they themselves said to let the teens be. But you didn't let your eyes stray away mostly because you found it to be entertaining. You almost choked on your food when you saw Sasha accidentally punching a boy with a bowl cut while trying to get out of Connie's grasp. You knew Sasha was a good soldier but her strength was clearly proven in that scene that played before you as you noticed the gush of blood leaving the boy's nose. 

"Seriously, are you just gonna let them be?" You frowned with slight worry as you lightly kicked Levi's leg under the table. 

It seemed that Levi's lack of worries was the right choice because a little bit after that, you saw Eren and Connie tying up Sasha to a pole. This caused you to slightly laugh. Ever since you met Levi's squad, you couldn't help but find them quite the character.
