Levi grabbed the doorknob to enter but the first thing he saw was Jean's ridiculous face with silly smile, staring at the corner of the room. He followed his eye's direction and then there was, Mikasa looking at the papers while wind was blowing inside her hair "There's no wonder why he's staring like this, she looks gorgeous!" He shook off his thought and frowned "The fuck am I thinking?!" As he entered the room he slapped Jean's nape and said "Oi, what the hell are you looking at? Keep sweeping!" And walked right next to Mikasa. She didn't move a bit even when he walked in. there was no use pretending that she hasn't saw him but she did any way. "And what are you doing?" Levi walked behind her and leaned close to her shoulder.

"I'm organizing your documents in order of priority and title sir" said Mikasa.

Then he moved his head closer to her face which forced her to tilt her head a bit "And these you're holding now are...?" He asked with his breath, straitening the hair on her neck.

Jean looked annoyed because of the way they were standing so close

"Does he have to interrogate her in that position!? He's too close...!" He was displeased with paled face but still had no guts to say anything.

"They're Armin's summarizes of tomorrow's plan sir; I assumed you want to take a look before we leave." Mikasa looked as calm and cold as ever she was on the outside but, on the inside her heart was pounding of Captain's warmth on her back and his breath close to her cheek "Alright...good job, keep going" 

Levi then separated himself of her as he wasn't feeling that good either! Her unique scent and little touch of her hair made him tremble and this kind of feeling was unknown to him so he felt frustrated and kind of annoyed and he wondered what was...

Levi then separated himself of her as he wasn't feeling that good either! Her unique scent and little touch of her hair made him tremble and this kind of feeling was unknown to him so he felt frustrated and kind of annoyed and he wondered what was it all about..." she's just another brat...Why I feel so weird around her!? "he thought frustrated.

"Ooo Leeviiiiiii...! Are you there?" It was Hange's singing and hyped voice "I need to talk to you about Eren's double for capturing that Titan girl, Annie... hey are you... there...oh Jean you're here too!" Hange paused due to Jean's presence right after she opened the door and saw Jean with his questioned face. "Oi shitty four-eyes! have you ever heard of scanning the area when you're going to talk about secret missions?" Levi sighed and nagged to her.

"Wha...what Annie? What is it about? What's going on?" Jean asked with puzzled face. "Well done Hange really...I think you just found the one you've been looking for" And then Levi pointed Jean with his thumb "Oh yeah! Of course, Jean was it right? I...I didn't see you there!" She rubbed back of her head. Levi threw a "TCH" and turned to the window where Mikasa was standing still "Explain the plan to him...and you go and sit there..." Mikasa sat next to Jean and in front of where Hange were sitting, Levi remained where he was with his hands crossed.

*Few minutes later*

"So you're not sure if it's really Annie or not also no one else knows expect us and few other troops? Am I right?" Jean paused and then said "Annie joined the military only to avoid fighting and saving her life, to think she is a Titan herself..." Levi turned his head and took few step forward towards them "Yes we still not sure but...."

"Jean, she IS the female Titan and I'm certain of it" Mikasa interrupted Levi again. "This brat...I'm not expecting her too much or something but at least she can respect me as her Captain to not cut-in my words!" He thought. "If it's what it should be done, then, fine I'll do it but it's definitely not for Eren's sake just keep it in mind!" all she did was nodding her head "It doesn't matter for whose sake you're doing this, just get on with it" said Levi with a pissed off voice. "Alright then I'll go inform Erwin of the situation...Oh Levi come there when you're done!" Hange then left.

"Sorry sir are we dismissed now?" Jean asked as he stood straight. Levi didn't say anything and just nodded. Mikasa grabbed her scarf, on the desk and then left under Levi's heavy gaze. "She really did a good job, setting the papers...!" Levi mumbled and remembered their faint touch "There must be something wrong with me! Perhaps I should rest a bit..."

*NIGHT*

After everyone got back to their dorm, Mikasa insisted on staying for longer "Why? We have very important day ahead of us, you take some sleep!" said Eren "Is there something bothering you?"

"No Eren, you should go I'll come later..." It wasn't that kind of straight answer to Eren's question but since it was Mikasa, well, that was enough for him to leave without further questioning.

After everyone left and she was alone she brewed a black tea and left a clean white cup on a table and then she left. "What am I doing these days? I must've gone mad! "Her dorm was somehow just for her even though she shared it with Sasha. No one wanted to share a room with these two cause Sasha's loud snoring and Mikasa's insomnia and that's how they ended up together. As she entered the room Sasha was deep in sleep with her mouth wide open, drooling.

"Even when you're asleep you look like a potato! "She smiled in her thoughts and fixed her blanket. She never showed, but there were times when she missed her innocent childhood and when she laughed, care free, around her parents.

*On the Ground floor*

"I should have a tea, then I might be able to get some rest!"

Levi left his room to grab a cup of tea and when he entered the kitchen, he smelled the good and fresh scent of black tea and a cup ready on the table. "Damn...It couldn't be any more pleasant, but, who the hell di..." He paused as he was thinking who might have left the untouched tea there "Did she really do this...It should be her it can't be anyone else but...What is going on in your head brat?"

Though everyone were aware of his drinking habit and his late night chilling at the kitchen, but never have ever anyone did something like that.

Levi remembered earlier in the evening when she was on cleaning duty as the others "She looked much better today, I wonder if she can heal so fast with no mark left...then why that stupid scar is still there? What made that brat Yeager try to kill her for three times already?! It pisses me off, it reminds me of her ridiculous will to protect him" And took a sip of the tea he poured...
