Observe

50k words, everyone! I can't believe we're already at such a big milestone! The chapter is a bit late because life is exhausting, and I never want to rush chapters lol. I appreciate your continued support, and, as always, I hope you enjoy this fluffy chapter.

"She's moving into his room."

Erwin coughed on his tea, causing it to splash on his hand.

"Shit," he cursed between coughs. He set the teacup down on his desk and flicked the tea off his hand. "She's what?"

Erwin hadn't intended to eat dinner tonight, let alone to join Hange, Levi, and Y/N, but Hange had been begging him to join them. However, until now he hadn't been convinced. The wicked smile they wore, told Erwin that Hange knew they had saved their winning argument for last.

"You heard me."

Erwin leaned back in his chair. "Presumably not for tutoring purposes?"

"Obviously not for tutoring purposes," Hange sneered. "Levi Ackerman has a woman moving into his room, and he, at the very least, likes her."

"He likes her," Erwin repeated as he reflected on Levi's behavior in the last few weeks.

"I mean he ran after her when she left yesterday and brought her back today. Then announced she's moving into his room!" Hange continued.

"Wait, what?" Erwin perked up at that. "They left yesterday? And no one told me?"

"Oh... yeah, I forgot to tell you. Sorry," Hange smiled awkwardly.

Erwin sighed. "Alert me the next time he leaves please, Hange."

"Yes, sir."

Erwin moved on. It was hard to be annoyed when he returned within a day, and Erwin hadn't even noticed.

"Did either of them say they were dating?" He asked.

"No," Hange rolled their eyes.

Erwin tapped his finger on the arm of his chair. "This dinner is going to be horribly awkward, isn't it?"

Hange smirked. "Without a doubt."

Most of the Scouts had already gotten their food and were eating in the mess hall, so Hange decided they would eat in the kitchen. After getting their food, Hange and Erwin sat at the long wooden table across the room from the fireplace with a large brick mantel. The cauldron of soup sat on a square table next to the fireplace with a few stacks of bowls surrounding it. Erwin sat down next to Hange with his bowl and small loaf of bread.

Right about the time Erwin started to wonder if Hange was just messing with him, Levi and Y/N walked in. Holding hands. Hange whipped their head to Erwin as they poorly tried to hide a smile, but his eyes were glued on Y/N and Levi. He watched Y/N try to drop Levi's hand, but he held on.

Interesting.

"Good evening," Levi nodded his head at Hange and Erwin.

"Good evening, Commander. Hange," Y/N looked uncomfortable as she greeted them.

They didn't have time to speak anymore before Levi led her directly to the cauldron and handed her a bowl. Hange watched Erwin as he watched Levi and Y/N; they wanted to see every single one of Erwin's reactions. He sat back to observe, his bowl of soup abandoned.

Y/N stood next to Levi as he ladled soup into her bowl. Erwin thought it was strange that Levi only gave her one ladle of soup, but two loaves of bread. However, when Y/N smiled at and thanked him, Erwin knew he must have done something right. Levi then made his own bowl with an extra serving of soup and no bread, while Y/N stood by waiting for him. Only when he finished did they walk to the table together.
