Hate at First Sight, Love at First Fight

"Useless"

TheAWESOMEauthor: Why does it seem like Levi's starting to get cold towards Mikasa? Is it for real that his feelings are fading for her??? Read more to know more!!~

Mikasa entered Levi's office room and it was astoundingly spotless and clean. Of course, what would you expect from a clean freaked midget?..

Once again, Mikasa felt useless seeing this. When her eyes was observing the room, the huge pile of paperwork on the table caught her attention as she felt pity for the captain.

Even so, she still cleaned Levi's office room for further satisfaction of the captain. She dusted the corners and the ceiling, wiped the windows and the floor without that much effort and time. After a brief period, she was finished.

She leaned against the wall while holding the wiped blanket then muttered softly, "I wander if that ungrateful midget would even say "thank you".

Afterwards, she then looked at the unsorted paperwork. She approached the table and sat down at Levi's chair. On top of the pile, she took one of the first papers and read this.

In a meanwhile, she decided to start sorting these one by one to lessen Captain Levi's burden. Since she was done cleaning, she thought that it would be fine to do this and to lessen her boredom. This mostly took her time.

On the other hand... After Captain Levi and Commander Hanji's discussion in the capital...

Commander Hanji and Captain Levi are walking together to the area where the carriage will be arriving to get them back to the squad's cabin. While the both of them are waiting, Hanji began the conversation with him.

"Hey Levi? Why didn't you give Mikasa a chance to come along? I mean, she's a quiet and shy girl. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything unpleasant.", Hanji asked in curiosity.

Levi looked at Hanji with a blank expression and turned his sight in an another direction, "I know that. Compared to Eren, she's easy to carry around... but it's not that. We have to focus on our objectives. If it's unnecessary, why bother to allow it?",he responded with a logical question.

Instead of saying anything, Hanji just grinned and mumbled," There's really something between these two..." In a few seconds, the carriage arrived in front of them.

Being impatient, Levi said in an irritated tone, "Oi, stop being slow and move your ass! I have plenty of shits to do."

"Ah sorry! I won't be coming. I'll be staying here for a while! Say hi to the squad for me!", Hanji replied with a crooked smile having a change of plans. "Tch...whatever four eyes.",he added and went in the carriage to travel.

Back to the cabin...

Levi's squad was doing their small chores. In a meantime, when Armin was done with his task, he went to check on Mikasa in the dining room where the meeting was held...

"Mikasa? Are you here?", Armin said in a timid tone, but saw that she wasn't there. Basically, the room was empty. "Where can she be?.. Is it possible that she's in Captain Levi's office?",he thought silently just as he went to the office room.

Just as he thought, the door wasn't lock. Armin peeped through the window and saw Mikasa doing the paperwork. "What is she doing",he asked without a sound. Sasha and Connie then happened to pass by bringing boxes of bread and potatoes.

"Hey Armin, can you help us out-?", Connie asked.
"Sshh... Can you keep it down.. I'm doing something.", Armin said not answering his request.

Connie became curious what Armin was looking at and peaked through the window too. Sasha also did the same with a somehow funny looking face.

"Heeyy! Armin.. why you peeping on Mikasa? Huh?..",he questioned him in a teasing way with an idiotic grin on his face. "Eh?! Armin? You like Mikasa?!", Sasha anticipated seeking an answer from him.

"No! It's not like that okay?!", Armin refused immediately while the two looked at each other puzzled. "It's because... Ever since Mikasa came back from heichou's punishment, she became a little bit unsettled lately. Aside from that she doesn't go "Eren" anymore which she usually does."

Sasha added her opinion and chuckled," which is a good thing right? She's free from the "Eren" virus! We should rejoice!" As she planned to eat a potato from the box. Connie laughed and commented," Yeah, I think it's time Mikasa stops treating Eren like a baby."

Armin then paused in silence to think and suddenly remembered the time when he caught them together. When Mikasa was leaning against the wall while Levi was cornering her. (FROM CHAPTER 3: "Alone with Her") "I think something is going on...",he uttered.

"Quit being a stalker and just help us out Armin!", Connie said as he slapped Armin's back. "Ouch! Geez! It's not what you think guys!",he replied getting annoyed. As the two looked back they saw the box of potatoes getting eaten in front of them.

"SASHA?!", they both shouted at her. "Oops! Sorry!"

After an hour...
The sun started to set. Mikasa was finally finished as she smiled a little wandering if Levi would be happy to see this.

After a few minutes, someone stepped inside the room. It was Petra

She was shock to see Mikasa inside Levi's office since Captain Levi doesn't usually allow anyone to enter his office casually easily. "Mikasa?.. what are you doing here?",Petra demanded a question with a high pitch of voice as she walked towards Mikasa to see what she's up to. It seemed like she was touching Captain Levi's things.

"What are you doing with heichou's papers? You're not allowed to touch them!..",she said feeling more superior than her.

"She has the guts to butt in recklessly between the squad and Captain Levi...Now, she has the tongue to speak for him. How annoying...", Mikasa thought irritatedly to herself.

Petra approached the table in such a speed and took all the sorted papers and scrambled it back to the way it was. Mikasa stood up quickly and protested,"Petra san, I was just...!!" She cut her own words just when Petra accidentally let go of the paperwork... It scattered all over the floor, petra panicked inside. She doesn't want Captain Levi to be disappointed at her again.

No not this time...
