You wake up before the sun was up in order to make sure everything was ready. You dressed yourself pretty much the same everyday. First a panties covered in pantyhose that went over your belly button. Next shift to protest all of the upcoming layers. On top of that a corset followed by a loose white button up shirt (sometimes adorned with a broach) which was tucked it into your floor length high wasted skirt. Ya you kinda dressed like and old governesses but you felt it was important to dress for the job. As for your hair you tied it into a neat bun like yesterday and put on some light makeup just to highlight your eyes.

(This is the skirt you will usually have on with brown old fashioned shoes)

As you walk outside you slip on a pair of white gloves and head down to the kitchen

As you walk outside you slip on a pair of white gloves and head down to the kitchen. Well yesterday I noticed that Ervin took his coffee with cream and sugar, Hanji looked to be a black coffee drinker, and Levi preferred tea like me so I added an extra cup when I put on the tea pot... although I wasn't sure how he took it. I grabbed sugar and cream for him too; although tea is best with honey but it looks like the don't have any. Honey is hard to find and almost no one know how to collect it so it makes sense why they wouldn't have any.
I walked up to the top floor where our bedrooms are and go into Hanji's room first. She is up and working on something when I walk in. I greet her and she looks up, "(y/n) good morning! Let me get that for you. How did you know I took my coffee like this? You bust be really observant! That will come in handy... will you meet me here after I finish training?!?"
"Of course Hanji." I say as I walk out the door.
Next I walked into Ervin's office and I see that he is just walking out of his bedroom still half asleep. He jumps slightly when he notices me.
"Oh, good morning. Did you sleep well?" He asks.
"Very well thank you Commander. How about you?"
"Once I got to bed I slept well I was up late working on some strategies." He said gesturing to a table with figurines on it.
I walk over and take a closer look. "Wow this looks really good... but did you mean to leave your left flank open?"
Shocked Ervin walks over, "(y/n) you know how to read this? And yes I did, I needed a way to lure some of them in."
"Of course I do. I wouldn't be much help here if I didn't."
Ervin glanced over still looking taken back. "Oh is that my coffee?"
"Mmhmm" I say handing him his cup.
He takes a sip, " how did you know this was the way I liked it? ...honestly you make it better that I do."
"I just saw you make it yesterday."
"Well I must say you are full of surprises. Will you meet me here after your duties to discuss this flanking issue?"
"Of course!" I say walking out the door.
Now to the bane of my existence...
I walk into Levi's office and notice he is at his desk asleep on some papers. He was obviously up late last night working. I set down the tea at a tea table in the room and walk over to wake him up he wouldn't want to sleep much longer because he has a training he has to attend in thirty minutes.
I walk behind his desk and lean down placing a hand on his back to gently wake him up. Suddenly I am thrown to the ground and I feel the weight of a body and hands around my neck. My eyes shoot open and see a frightened and angry Levi looking down at me. All of a sudden people come running through the door. Ervin looking at me must have seen the frightening look on my face because the next moment Levi is thrown against the wall by Ervin. "What do you think your doing?!?"
Hanji pips up, "Ya you kinky bastard."
I quickly sit up, "Wait it's not what you think. I must have scared him when I woke him up." Rubbing the back of my head where it hit the ground.
Ervin let go of Levi still scowl at him he said, "That is still no excuse. She is not one of your cadets Levi, she is a lady and is to be treated a such. If I ever catch you being physical with her again I will personally see to it that you go back to hell hole you crawled out of." Ervin stormed out of the room and made sure to slam the door behind him for extra measure making us all slightly jump me of course more than the rest. Hanji completely shocked exclaimed, "Shit Levi you really bit the big one with that! But you really should be more delicate with her. High class women break easily. Look I think you made her hit her head." She gestured to me and I quickly removed my hand not wanting to get him in any more trouble. Hanji soon left and I was again left with Levi.
I spoke first, "Sorry for all of the trouble I caused for you." I said lowering my head. "And now the tea is probably cold..."
"Is that really what you're thinking about at a time like this?" He said sitting at his desk.
"Yes... it was going to be so good!" I said still on the floor. "Well now I'm thinking about how I will need to make it again and how the least you could do is help me up from the floor. I am here because of you you know," I say teasing. Levi stands up and gives me his hand pulling me up with a little more force than necessary. Stumbling from the unexpected jolt I fall into Levi's chiseled chest. I can feel myself blushing furiously. We quickly step apart and with my head down I grab the tea set rushing out the door.
I soon returned with a new pot of tea. "So how do you like your tea?" I asked as I poured the tea.I look up and see that he has been watching me the whole time.
"Plain I just like the tea," He said expressionlessly.
"Really? Have you ever tried it with honey."
"What's that?" He asks as I hand him his tea.
As I am pouring my own I try to think of the best way to explain it... no there is no good way to explain bee puke. "It's just a light sweeter that doesn't overpower the tea like sugar does. It just enhances the flavors. I'll have to get some and have you try it" I say taking a sip of my tea. Hmmm he holds his cup really funny. Unconsciously I try to mimic it. "What are you doing?" Levi says pulling me from my thoughts. "Nothing sorry... is there anything I can help with."
"Like I told Ervin before I don't need your help...... except for the tea... the tea was good."
"I think you will find I can do a lot more than good tea." I say filling his cup one more time before I go. As I am about to walk out I hear him one more time, "dismissed," he said in a stern way.
To me it felt like he was trying to prove a point and push his authority which is not why I am here. In order for my job to be done successfully we have to act like we are on the same level, like husband and wife. Even though I am technically his subordinate he is never to treat me as such.
Quickly I turn to look at him. "Although I may technically be your subordinate I will not be treated as such. My position is to support not to be walked on." I say maybe more sternly than I should have walking out of the room with my cup of tea. I go and quickly make hanji's bed and place her clothes to be taken down to the wash. I then move to Ervin's room and notice he is at his desk still fuming from today earlier events. I move to his room and clean his room like Hanji's. Once I step back into his office he stops me.
"Are you Okay? He didn't hurt you right?"
"Yes I'm fine don't worry. After I'm done with this we can look over your plan of attack." I say smiling.
He still has a look of concern and pulls me close kissing the top of my head. "Please if you ever need me don't hesitate to call."
"Don't worry I will thank you." I'm so glad that there is someone here who cares about me.
I walk into Levi's office and quickly move to his bedroom which is already immaculate all I have to do is grab his clothes and take them down to the wash. Man he is a really clean person.

Time skip

Back in Ervin office we are discussing his formation plans and someone walks in as I'm talking. I have my fan out and I am fanning myself. I do that when I'm thinking to keep myself from chewing my nails...
"Well if you goal really is it weaken your left flank then you should put your second strongest group of soldiers in this area here so that the weakness doesn't spread too far in." I say.
Ervin, "your probably right. I don't want the weakness to spread and have the whole structure crumble. Levi what can I help you with?"
"I need you to sign off on this training order." Levi said handing paperwork to Ervin. "Should you really be trusting her with such delicate plans?"
"She was the one who noticed the weakness in the left flank. She really knows what she is talking about. Besides isn't it better to have as many trusted eyes on it as possible?"
"Tsk, I don't know how you can trust her so quickly." Levi mumbles, Ervin either didn't her or is choosing to ignore him.
"In fact Levi would you mind helping us for a moment?" I say trying to gain his trust.
"...fine." After a moment he finally agreed.
"Okay," I continue, "So from what Ervin told me the weakness in the left flank is intentional on his part. Now you know the troops best would squad three or four be better to keep the titans from infiltrating to far?"
Levi contemplates while looking at the board. He looks so handsome when he is focused.... no no no you can not fall for him he's a complete jerk! I scold myself.
"Well four would be best but they would create a weakness over here if we move them so what I would suggest is actually linking two and seven her to seal this hole."
I go and stand by him in order to see what he is seeing. "Oh that's good. But seven is pretty important where the were at could we use six instead?" I say as I reach in front of him brushing his chest in the process to switch six and seven.
"Yes I think that that would work." Levi say taking a step back and putting his hands behind himself.
Did he just retreat?
Ervin meanwhile was just standing back and watching us smiling. "Well thank you both for your input. I think that this will work. Oh didn't Hanji want you for something (y/n)?"
"Oh it is about that time I better be off."
Levi turned with me which surprised me that he would follow me.
"I have some business with her as well." He says opening the door for me.
"Oh thank you Levi," I say waking out and towards Hanji's office.
Once we arrive we go in to find Hanji hung over a microscope laughing maniacally.
"Hey shitty glasses." Levi shouts and Hanji looks up. Levi continues, "How is my request coming?"
"Levi, (y/n)! You're here!" I'm almost finished with that field explosive. We can start testing in a week."
They're making their own explosives? That's against the law inside the walls for terrorist reasons. Although it would be likely very helpful outside of the wall fighting titans. I can see why they might take the risk.
"Tsk," I hear Levi behind me. He was obviously trying to be discreet with the explosives. "I don't know why you are all so eager to trust her..." he said glancing at me with a stern look.
What's his problem? Does he think I'm a spy or something? ... oh that must be it!
"Hanji," I say taking a seat next to her, "what can I help you with?"
"Here take a look." She says gesturing to the microscope.
I peer in and feel myself subconsciously bringing my fingers to my mouth. I stop myself and grab my fan again.
"Why am I looking at a human cell? Wait," I say adjusting the lens and pulling closer to the microscope. "Why does it have chlorophyll? But it's the wrong color.... Hanji where did you get this?"
I look up from the microscope and to see Hanji looking at me a mouth slightly open. "Wow you know biology? You had to have gone to a very elite school!" Shit I can't keep slipping up "How were you to able pick that out? It took me a week to notice!"
"Oh that's nothing. But where did it come from?"
"A titan! I was able to stabilize some of its flesh for a moment. Although it will likely disappear any moment."
"Wow your amazing Hanji! This means that titans really do synthesize their energy from the sun!"
"Yes it does! Here let's keep going!"
Levi then interrupted. "No Hanji I need her for a moment. (Y/n) follow me."
Unsure what else to do you shrug at Hanji and follow Levi to his office.
