Babysitting

Here's a story for you guys, enjoy!

Levi was not in the slightest, satisfied for his night. Actually, he was pissed.

It was getting dark and cold outside. He was supposed to be having a date with Petra Ral, a young woman she just met by some stupid blind date. He wasn't interested in any blind date but since her colleague and neighbor, Hanji Zoe compelled him to try a blind date for fun. Well, he wasn't pretty excited about it but he played along. But luckily, after an endless conversation, there was Petra. So after several cups of coffee and coincidental encounters, he asked her out on a date.

And the date was supposed to be tonight.

The problem was Hanji Zoe dragged him to a house, a couple of blocks away from where they live. If only she wasn't such a nuisance. Even just by standing beside him, her presence kills him every fucking time.

Levi and Hanji stood in the front door of the house.

It wasn't just any house.

It was owned by a famous doctor around Shiganshina City.

"I still don't understand why you brought me here, Hanji." Levi said in a frustrated tone.

"Don't worry about it. And don't burn your little forehead." Hanji teased the short man. She brushed off some dirty specs of her long, brown coat.

"You do know that I have a date."

"And you do know you're not attending the party tonight." Levi furrowed his brows in confusion. Oh that's right. Erwin Smith, their boss, invited Levi and Hanji to attend a lousy Royal Ball. And since Levi hates balls, he rejected the invitation. Hanji accepted. The Royal Ball was set tonight.

And yet, what the hell are they doing here?

Hanji pressed the doorbell button.

"Shouldn't you be preparing for some lousy ball?"

"I already did. But I have something to do first."

"And why am I involved?" Hanji tilted her head at him and grinned.

"Let's just say you'll be taking care of something first."

As Levi parted his mouth to speak, the door swung open. A brunette hair couple in their thirties gave them a welcome smile.

"Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger," greeted Hanji.

"Good evening, Ms. Hanji!" The wife greeted back. She then studied Levi with a smile.

"So you will be in charge. Uhm, Levi right?"

In charge? For what? He bewilderingly nodded in response.

"The children are upstairs. We already told them that we're leaving."

Children? Levi pondered. His eyebrows were frowning deeply.

"Don't worry, you two. He'll take very good care of them." Hanji grinned and patted Levi's shoulders. The husband adjusted his glasses as he stepped outside and walked towards the garage.

"We hope you don't mind for staying the night though we know you were invited to the ball."

"Don't worry, Levi could handle the kids."

Handle the kids? Levi observed Hanji and Mrs. Jaeger. He had this anxious feeling that something worse is going to happen.

"We'll be back by midnight. Thank you again for babysitting, Ms. Hanji and Levi!"
