"Kiss me hard before you go, Summertime Sadness."

⚠️IN THIS STORY, LEVI WILL BE 27 YEARS OLD. ERWIN WILL BE 35

Before securing my horse in the stables, I snuck back up to my room carefully, trying to not make a single sound as I did so.

I planned to get dressed into something comfortable and sneak back down into my father's office to oversee Scout business and continue my investigation.

When I made it to my room, I slowly shut the door, making a beeline for my closet.

My room isn't really anything special, the only impressive aspect being the Queen sized bed my dad insisted on installing.

I threw the cellar keys on my desk as I opened up the closet. My eyes quickly scanned the wardrobe and I decided on a T-shirt I had stolen from Levi not too long ago and shorts.

I quickly threw the outfit on, the smell of men's aftershave being particularly obvious. It was undeniable that Levi really knows his perfume.

I slowly stepped out my room, not forgetting to slowly and silently lock the door. Mikasa's room was just opposite mine; waking her up would result in an hour long lecture about the importance of sleep. Sasha's door was the one next to me, I could swear I hear her mumbling about food right now. I ignored it and continued down the hallway, passing Historia's  room as I did so.

Poor girl, I still wonder how she's coping with Ymir's disappearance. I guess I'll check up on her some time soon. I then descended the multiple steps and finally exited the women's barracks.

When I finally made it to the office, I made sure to slowly open and close the door. Levi's office was just opposite Erwin's and I could guarantee you he'd be awake.

My back still turned to the door, I let out a relieved sigh. 'That wasn't so hard...' I smiled to myself.

"Where were you?"

Upon instinct, I jumped, turning around to see Levi sitting comfortably in Erwin's office chair.

"Levi! Hey! I was..." I dragged out, trying to find a suitable lie that would be at least the slightest bit believable.

"I was with Mikasa. In her dorm. We were just talking about...stuff?" I spluttered, trying to make myself sound convincing, but that turned out terribly.
