Something lightly tapped your shoulder. You mumbled and shook it off. Another tap, this time harder. You lifted your hand and swatted away, only to fall on the floor. You yelped in surprise as you came into contact with the harsh wood. Eyes shooting open, you saw a pair of boots. "Wha-What happened?! I swear I was cleaning!" You said, quickly scrambling to stand back up.
"Yes, of course you were. Which explains why you were asleep leaning against a mop." Hanji said with a smile. You sighed and shrugged. "Anyway, the reason I interrupted your nap, is because I need you to do me a favor." She said.
"I have a feeling I can't deny, so what is it?" You asked, putting the mop against the wall.
"Can you deliver this to Corporal Shorty?" Hanji asked, handing you two folders filled to the brim with papers.
You looked out the window that was to your left. It was pitch black outside. "Hanji, what time is it?" You asked, turning back to the brunette.
"Oh, y'know, just the regular three in the morning." She said casually, waving her hand as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Three? How long have I been asleep?!"
"What time did you start?"
"I think around nine at night... then I worked for two hours..." You trailed off.
"That's five hours. Wow, (f/n), you have good balance for being able to be on that mop for five hours straight without falling." She said.
"Hanji, I doubt Levi will even be awake." You countered, ignoring her slight compliment.
"Oh, I'm sure he will." She said. She had this weird glint in her eyes. You'd seen it before, many times. Before she experimented on a titan, before she did something that would get you in trouble, before she laughed... Would this involve all those things?
"Okay..." You said with a suspicious tone, walking around her to the door.
"Just don't talk too much to him, he won't hear you!" Hanji called from behind you. Before you could respond, she giggled and ran out the door. You stared after her with a confused expression. Not able to hear me?... You thought. You brushed it off and headed in the direction of Levi's office.
~*Time Skip*~
You knocked on the door softly, since it was three in the morning and everyone was likely to be asleep. "Heichou, sir? I've got some papers from Hanji." You said in a voice slightly above a whisper.
You heard him mumble something inaudible. You took this as a sign to enter, so you slowly turned the doorknob and opened the wooden slab slightly. Peeking your head in, you turned to his desk. Empty. And the room was dark, the only light was the moon that leaked through the windows. You stepped in and closed the door behind you. "I could've sworn I heard him..." You said to yourself, setting the papers on his desk and looking around the room. Spotless, as usual. He might be somewhere else, just go to bed. A voice in your head told you.
Human curiosity is sometimes impossible to hold back.
You scanned the room a little more, looking for something unusual. "Heichou?" You whispered.
"Idiots..." A voice came. You saw a door creaked open, with a little light flooding out, most likely from a candle. Ignoring that little voice in your head that screamed "NO!" you walked towards the door and opened it about halfway. You had to put a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from laughing.
Levi was sleeping in his bed. Normal, yes? Well... not the way he was sleeping. He was hugging a mop like his dear life depended on it. Not to mention that he was also talking in his sleep. You could only catch a few words as the rest were inaudible.
