Disguise (Levi/ Rivaille Fanfiction)

Chapter Two

Sophie’s Pov

‘Ah shit, I’m so late!’ I think as I run hoping to make it to work on time. However running in heels really is difficult. So much for my coffee run this morning either. Stumbling into work I give a brief hello to Christa again before all but crashing into the elevator. Hitting the button I turn around and attempt to straighten my peplum shirt and dress pants. Someone clicks their tongue and I freeze, ‘dammit...’ 

There’s Levi looking at me with the same bored face as yesterday, a mug of coffee in his hand, “Good morning Levi. How are you?” I ask in an attempt at keeping poise. 

“You’re late.” Is the only thing he says.

“Yes, I had a few things to do earlier.” 

“Sleeping in no doubt.” He snorts.

I glare at him, “With my son. He’s a year old and a little bit fussy this morning. Now please, unless you have something else to say we’re here.” 

The doors open and I step out into the room. “Morning Sophie!” Eren chirps. 

I smile at him, “Good morning Eren, Mikasa, I hope you two have a good day!” 

“Hi Sophie! We’re glad you’re back!” Connie and Sasha yell at me. 

I smile even wider, “I’m glad to see you two as well! Have a good day, don’t forget to send your work to me!”

“Will do!” 

I go to unlock my office when a bouquet of flowers are pushed in front of me, “Here Sophie. Eren and I chipped in and got these for you.” Thomas says as he hands me the flowers. 

“These are so pretty! Thank you two so much for them!” I head into the office and notice that there’s already a vase with water waiting. Snipping the ends I dunk them into the vase. 

Sitting down at my desk I notice Levi walking to his office. No one said a word to him. In fact they all looked down at their computers or papers and started working. I watch for a moment with my eyebrows furrowed. What the hell did this guy do to my crew? Did he rule with an iron fist or something that made them afraid? I didn’t know but I really wanted to find out.

By break time I’m in the break room heating up my lunch. I’m tapping my fingernails on the countertop waiting for the timer to beep. Hearing someone clear their throat I turn around and see Mike leaning against the doorframe. I smile at him, he was a good friend to me as well when I was here before my leave. 

Mike hugs me, “It’s good to see you here again, how is your child?” 

“He’s good, bouncy and bubbly as ever.” 

“Really, what does he look like?” 

I slip a picture out of my wallet to show him, “Here, I’m so glad that he favors me more than that bastard.” 

“Well, he does have your eyes but you have to admit that his hair favors his father’s color. I mean unless underneath all that dark fluff is red hair.”

I roll my eyes, “Yes, he has his father’s hair but that’s about it I would say. Anyways, he’s pretty cute. You should come around some time to see him, I need to start having him meet new people.”

“Sure, do you mind if I bring a few others around as well?”

I shake my head, “Of course not, I’d love to have more company over.”
