Hiii guys,
You remember the time I told you that Levi is shifting away for a reason (the Survey Corps headquarters relocation), and that reason will make sense later?
Well the reason is here in this chapter lol.
Song for this chapter is A Love like this by Kodaline.
I hope you enjoy!

MAR 850
It's just been a week since the fall of Trost, but the wonder that is Eren Jaeger has taken the world by storm.
Trost has fallen, the city devastated and the economy broken. But there's hope now... after all humanity has found a boy who can turn into a titan.
And in a gruesome court battle, Eren was handed over to the Survey Corps. His custody given to Humanity's Strongest, the only man who can slay him with no hesitation.
Erwin was optimistic. Hange was beyond excited. And Levi was quick to propose that the old headquarters at Jinae become the new station for the Special Operations squad. A place with a huge basement to keep Eren.
And also a place where he could keep Mae closer.
Trost in shambles, her house is in shambles too. And whilst the government is working on rebuilding the city, and repairing all the damages, Levi intends to keep her with himself.
A week has passed since then. And Mae has found little peace in her new role, as a cook for the Special Operations squad.
The smell of freshly made vegetable soup wafts through the air. The afternoon sun blazes through the window. And Mae cuts a bread loaf into slices. Grateful that she can spend the last few days of humanity with people that matter to her.
Arms snake around her waist, pulling her closer. A familiar scent engulfs and her back presses against hard chiseled muscles. She sighs as a chin rests on her shoulder.
"Levi! We are in the kitchen, and it's almost time for lunch, someone could walk in," she quietly reprimands.
"Sshh, it's fine... I told everyone to take 25 extra laps of the ground." And with that he snuggles his face into the crook of her neck.
The fall of Trost has changed him. He's become more affectionate towards her. More vocal even. He's already been too close to losing her once, and now he can't let his pride hold him back anymore.
"I'm just holding you... it's not like we're fucking here." He murmurs against her skin, before placing a gentle kiss on it.
The fall of Trost has changed Mae too. She doesn't let out a timid giggle when Levi talks about sex with the straightest face ever.
And Levi notices. He notices every little detail.
She cries so often these days. And she's always zoning out, even when he's talking to her about books and sunsets. It makes him feel helpless. Because he has nothing to give her, not even all of his attention. Because he's Humanity's Strongest first, and then her lover.
"How are you doing?... Are you tired?" He says as he turns her around, caging her between the kitchen counter and his arms. "Do you want Petra to cook instead?"
"I'm fine Levi." Mae smiles, but it doesn't quite meet her eye.
"You don't look fine."
And Mae's eyes soften, as she places her hand on his jaw. Feeling his stubble as her thumb strokes his cheek.
