Falling Down (Levi and Mikasa)

Chapter Two

Around lunch time, hange sneaks some food for sasha to use. Teaching her how to eat it. Levi defiently wouldnt like it if she had crumbs all over her face, or even crumbs falling on the floor or her lap.

It was harder to teach her than what was thought. At the kitchen they watch Levi grab his food and he heads to his office like everyday. Sasha will be at his door waiting for him.

Mikasa knew this mission was going to fail but, hange and her follow Levi anyways. Staying far enough away, he wouldnt notice. Mikasa was pretty quiet on her feet.

Reaching the corner they finally saw Sasha.

"Sir!" She says. She saluted him with two bananas in her hands.

Mikasa sighs, this will fail, no doubt.

"At ease," he says, "why arent you having lunch in the cafeteria?"

"Sir, i wanted to eat with you," she says bluntly except for faint shaking in her voice.

"I like eating alone."

"You wont even notice im there, sir,"

His frown deepens, "doubt it. What ive seen, you eat like a pig, patato girl."

"Patato..." she shakes her head, "i brought bananas."

"I can see that."

"I... eat these differently."

His eyebrows raise, the most emotion mikasa has seen on his face.

"Is that so? Then go on with it," he uses his hand to motion to start.

"Oh... um... okay..." she unpeels it slowly never breaking eye contact with him. Mikasa could sense her heart would be beating fast with fear.

She puts it in her mouth, licks it but, then she snaps and she chomps down, consuming it in one bite which should be inhumanly possible.

Levi glares, "disgusting. Run twenty one laps around the track."

She gulps, "yes sir!"

A speck of food lands on his cheek and he wipes it off. His eyes burned, "go. Now!"

"Sir!" And she runs while she eats the last banana.

_______

Hange's face is in her hands, "it went so badly... a chunk of banana landed on his face."

"Oh my god," eren says with worry.

"From her mouth?" Armin asks.

"From her mouth." Hange replies.

With all of them looking out the window they watch Sasha still running. Her legs were wobbly and she slouched from exhaustion.

"Poor sasha," connie was feeling very bad about the whole thing.

"She'll be fine. I know her efforts wont be in vain. Mikasa still has a shot." Hange points at the raven haired girl.

Jean frowns, "i dont think mikasa should. What if he takes her seriously?" Then i have more competition and Levi is not the kind of competition i want.

Hange ignores him, "what are you going to do mikasa?"

She thinks for a second, "hmm... probably bring him some tea after dinner."

They stand silently for a few moments.

"And...?" Hange presses on.

"Thats all."
