Chapter 16: The Captain's Favorite Day

It had been a few days since Levi's migraine and he was feeling much better. He finally convinced Hanji and Erwin that he was ready to come back to work. Besides, today was Levi's favorite day. He wouldn't miss it for anything.

Erwin knocked on the Captain's door. He walked in before Levi had a chance to respond. He tched, he hated when Erwin did that. He raised his eyebrows at the Commander. "What do you want Smith?" He asked with little interest.

"The conference with the higher ups is in a few days." Levi nodded. He knew this. The big conference was held every year and Erwin always tried to put on a show in order to impress the higher ups and get more funding for the corps. "I want you to join me."

Levi frowned. He hated those gaudy higher ups. "Like I'll be able to help." Levi scoffed. He was not a people pleaser. He normally came off too strong and rubbed the rich bastards the wrong way.

"I think it's important for them to see humanity's strongest soldier don't you agree?" Levi rolled his eyes. "They like seeing what they are investing in. Just give them a little show." Erwin smiled deviously. "Plus, it's only for a few days. I'm sure you will survive."

Levi knew Erwin wasn't asking. "Sir." He nodded in agreement.

Erwin smiled. He was pleased with Levi's lack of stubbornness. "Of course this means that you will get your day with the troops." Levi held in a grin. Cleaning day was his favorite day.

Hanji burst through the front doors. She was running late. She bent over and tried to regain her breath. Once she could breathe semi regularly she looked up. It was quiet. She looked around confused. Where are Connie and Sasha? She wondered. The front desk was empty.

Hanji checked her phone. It was only Tuesday, everyone should be there. Did I miss something? She worried. She decided to walk through the hallway towards the main quarters. The closer she got to the living area the more she worried. There wasn't a soldier in sight. Hanji swallowed thickly.

She noticed that the cafeteria doors were closed. She thought she heard some noise coming from behind the doors. Hanji crept up and peaked through the windows. She saw all of the troops gathered around one table. They weren't in their uniforms. What is going on?

Hanji peered further into the cafeteria trying to find out what they were all looking at. That's when she saw him. Standing on top of a table in the middle of all the troops was Levi. He had a handkerchief mask around his neck and another tied over his hair. In his hand was a duster and a broom. Hanji was even more confused, but she couldn't deny how cute he looked. She spotted Eren and Armin in the sea of cadets. She carefully cracked the door open and slipped inside hoping to go unnoticed.

"Everything will be perfect. The cafeteria, the offices, the bathrooms, and especially your living quarters." Levi ordered.

Hanji snuck behind the cadets and weaved through the crowd. She found Armin and popped up between him and Eren. "What's going on?" She whispered.

Armin piped up, "Cleaning day." He said without taking his eyes off of Levi.

Hanji looked at Eren for an explanation. "Levi and some of the higher ranks like Erwin are going to be gone for a big conference." He explained, "Levi always makes us have a cleaning day because he will be gone. Everything has to be spotless by the time he gets back or we are screwed-"

"I'm sorry am I boring you, Jaeger?" Levi glared.

Eren closed his mouth with a clack and his eyes widened in fear. "No, Sir!" He yelled.

Levi tched. He looked back over the crowd. "That is all." The cadets saluted and called out a synchronized "Yes, Sir!"

The crowd began to disband and everyone was rolling up their sleeves and grabbing supplies.

"Does everyone have to do this?" Hanji groaned. She hated cleaning.

"Sorry no exceptions." Levi appeared behind her, "Even for you Hanji Zoe." Hanji shivered and Levi smirked. He hardly ever used her full name. Hanji couldn't describe the feeling it gave her.

He gave her the duster that was in his hand. "You are freakishly tall so go dust all the upper shelves." Hanji watched as the clean freak walked away. This is going to be a long day she sighed.

"What did he mean 'Even for you'?" Sasha asked suspiciously.

Hanji chuckled, "We may or may not be officially dating..."

"OH MY GOSH WHAT?!?!" Sasha yelped in surprise.

"What happened?!" Eren, Armin, and Connie ran over to Sasha and Hanji.

Before Hanji could explain Sasha yelled, "Hanji is dating the Captain!" The friend group looked at Hanji with wide eyes. Hanji just smiled sheepishly and nodded her head in conformation.

"No way!" Connie said in astonishment, "What is that even like?!"

"Amazing." Hanji said with a devilish smirk.

"Oh my-"

"Nope, nope, nope!"

"I'm out!"

The boys ran for it before Hanji could go into any gruesome details. Only Sasha remained. "Well?" She asked expectantly. "You two have sex yet?"

Hanji nearly choked on air. "Sasha!" She gasped and Sasha just shrugged.

"What? Nothing interesting ever happens here...I need details!" She and Hanji burst out laughing.

An idea popped into her head, "Ya know what, how about you, me, Christa and Mikasa all have a girls night and talk about boy stuff!"

Sashas eyes sparkled like she had just seen the biggest piece of meat, "YES!" The two grabbed each others hands and squealed as they jumped around.

"Oi! Get to work brats!" Levi hollered from across the room. Hanji and Sasha saluted before giggling.

The troops spent the rest of the day cleaning tirelessly. They were all terrified whenever the Captain walked around to inspect their work. He was very hard to please and even when they felt they did a good job he would always find something that they missed. When the work day was finally over they were all ready to head home and nap.

"I'll text you about our date!" Hanji called out to Sasha from across the parking lot.

"Okay!" She replied cheerily.

"Date?" Levi raised his eyebrow in question. "I'd watch." He deadpanned. Hanji gasped and hit him on the arm.

"Not a date date dummy." She rolled her eyes and laughed, "I'm going to hang out with my girlfriends when you're gone." She turned to face him with an angry look on her face, "Which reminds me-" Uh Oh Levi thought. "You never told me you were leaving!"

"Chill out Four-eyes." Levi put his hands up in defense, "Erwin just let me know I was going a while ago."

Hanji tilted her head in confusion. "Isn't the conference at the same time every year?"

Levi nodded as he began to drive back to their apartment, "He normally doesn't make me come. Rich people don't seem to like me-" Hanji snorted at that.

"No surprise there." She mocked.

Levi rolled his eyes. "He's making me go this time. Trust me I'd rather be here with you."

"Awwwww"

"Fucking."

"You ruined the moment." Hanji whined and saw Levi smirk out of the corner of her eye.
