“Tonight will be a huge pain in the ass,” Levi predicted as he sighed.

It was obvious, he thought. He noticed some of the soldiers would avoid his look when they pass through him, then murmuring after. Preparations were made for the past few weeks, where he caught the new trainees pathetically hiding huge bags behind their backs when they spot him. He was banned from going inside the ballroom as he could hear shouting curse words and falling objects from the inside. He also noticed the considerable lack and absence of cleaning materials whenever he needs them when he finds a stain at the hallways.

And the moment he woke up on December 25, the faces of his new squad were circled inches away from his face, grinning. They yelled ‘Happy Birthday, Heichou!’ that almost made his ears explode. He sat up, hissing. He also noticed that his room was covered with Christmas decorations that the brats would have done. They brought out a platter that served up gingerbread-shaped pancakes served with syrup, a few fruits, and brewed coffee that had too much coffee in it.

The next hours were plain boring— where his squad members were nowhere to be found after watching him eat his breakfast. He had no paperwork to work on, because Erwin didn't give anything for him to work on since last week. Cleaning was useless, because every inch of the hideout was spotless. He spent the rest of the day reading the book of the outside world that he confiscated from Eren and Armin.

Nighttime struck, as he was finished from reading the entire book. He stood up and was about to refill the coffee when he heard rustling from outside his office. He immediately tried to find his blades; and cursed to the fact that Erwin has taken his 3D maneuver gear for inspection, or so he says. He desperately tried to find for the knife that he was hiding in his office, but couldn’t find it.

Then, the door opened, revealing three mysterious figures with their red eyes shining. He backed out, trying to fight. In the end, he was cornered and was placed in a sack. He was hit in the head, making him unconscious.

When he regained his consciousness, he was sleeping on a couch on a small room. It was dark, and he was determined to go out and slaughter the bitch who placed him there. He also noticed that he was not wearing the usual military clothes. He was wearing a thick black coat that reaches up his knees with golden trims and buttons. Underneath, he had a navy blue vest and a white polo, with his signature white cravat present. He was wearing black slacks, and nice dress shoes. He was furious to anyone who undressed him and replaced his clothes with that kind of shit.

He found the door, and forcefully opened it, only to find out that the whole Survey Corps at the ballroom; with his squad mates, Commander Erwin and Squad Leader Hanji at the front. All yelled ‘Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Heichou!’ in an almost-unison manner, and started to sing the birthday song. Hanji sang the loudest, with her annoying eerie tone. His squad sang fine, while he had to hold his smile and laughter when he heard Erwin singing in such a monotonous tone. The rest of the Survey Corps sang loudly as well, with a few of who weren’t able to wait for the party and were early in taking in alcohol.

Once that they were done singing, he hastily went to Eren, and lifted him up by his collar, shocking everybody. Mikasa was about to lift her hand when Armin restricted her from doing anything.

“Where the hell are my clothes?” Levi demanded, his anger-filled eyes staring directly at Eren’s.

“S-sir, it’s in t-the… other room,” he responded, choking a few times.
