Note: Third chapter of the four I am behind on. Now, all I have to do is update my Tokyo Ghoul story and I am fully caught up! This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but as always I'm super lazy. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, I certainly enjoyed writing it after all~
Elliot fell into a chair that normally would have been considered uncomfortable but, right now she was totally comfortable after all she had been on her feet all day. Her eyes were still swollen and red from all the crying she had done. Her boyfriend's death and her parents were currently still missing in all the chaos, no one knew were anyone was after everyone had been safely evacuated. It had been such a long day and the day still wasn't over with, after she had made it over the wall with Marco's body and her corporal, she had met up with Reiner and Jean. She sighed, hanging her head low as she remembered how she had literally elbowed her blond friend in the ribcage to escape his grasp. She had ran between Marco and Jean, stopping Jean from fully approaching his friend, but the boy merely walked around her to gaze upon the face of his deceased friend. Elliot had stood there crying into her hands until the familiar voice of her corporal came up from behind her, he seemed to be done speaking with the man from ealier. She supposed he had seen the whole situation between them all, but decided against doing anything about it…what could he have done anyways? This was obviously a situation that she and her friends would have to figure out how to get through on their own. "They will be taking the body and informing his family as soon as possible, but with all the destruction and chaos it might take a bit of time to even locate his family," the raven haired male spoke, watching with his usual uncaring look as Elliot nodded her head, but by now she already understood that this man was just terrible as showing his emotions. She was sure that despite his uncaring appearance that he actually felt bad for the young white girl and her friends or maybe that was just her being hopeful.
Elliot sighed at the memories, raising her right hand to gently pinch and rub at the bridge of her nose. She could feel an oncoming headache and that was something she knew she didn't need at the moment. Elliot attempted to bury herself deeper into the somewhat cushioned seat, eyes staring at the comfortable looking chair behind a large wooden desk. Levi had taken her to his office, but almost as soon as they arrived he had ditched her to do something important…it was apparently related to Eren. Elliot could only imagine what the poor boy was going through at the moment. She knew that despite him having saved the city that there were those who would still ask for his death simply because of his ability to shift into a titan. Did they not understand that a gift like that could be used in this fight against the titans? Elliot had been one of the few to see firsthand how many titans Eren had taken down alone while in that form. Elliot frowned, all this thinking was only feeding her headache, she needed to rest, but for some reason her brain just didn't want to stop working. Elliot soon stood up, throwing caution to the wind as she approached what she assumed was Levi's chair, falling into it as soon as she was within range of it. She immediately sank into the thing, happy with how much more comfortable it was than the chair she had just been sitting in. She smiled lightly resting her head against the back of her chair before lightly closing her eyes, even if she could only get a moments rest she knew that that would be better than no rest at all. It wasn't long before the young girl was falling asleep in the corporal's chair not realizing the punishment she might receive for this especially since she had still yet to shower since everything went down.
Levi came barging back into his office a few hours later fully expecting the young cadet to have gone home by then. Erwin had asked him to accompany him to speak with titan boy Eren Jaeger, the conversation between the three of them hadn't been too long, but afterwards Erwin wanted to speak with Levi more about everything that had happened today. Levi was damn sure that his commander had kept him there on purpose simply to annoy him since he knew damn well that a report on today's events would be on his desk before the end of tonight. If that wasn't enough of a reason, then the knowing smirk on his commanders face gave him away rather easily, it wasn't as if shitty glasses hadn't reported on Elliot being around or how she had followed him back to his office. He could only imagine the crazy story that four eyed, titan obsessed, crazed woman had spun to their commander, of course by now Erwin knew not to take everything Hanji said seriously, but that didn't mean he didn't share the same love of annoying Levi to no ends with her. Levi slammed the door shut behind him before turning to face his office, the first thing he noticed was the dirt that had been trailed through his office and the second thing he noticed was a small little girl resting her head on his desk sleeping soundly in his chair…dirt, drool, and everything in between. Levi flinched at the sight of her, not only was she snoring rather obnoxiously but, she was still a disgustingly dirty mess. He could practically see the dirt on his chairs and desk. Oh no, this would not do, he growled under his breath before stomping over toward her and swiftly kicking her foot. Elliot flinched awake, quickly sitting up in the chair and smacking her head against the back of it. "Ow…," she muttered under her breath raising a hand to rub the back of her head as her red eyes glanced around the room. It wasn't long before they settled onto a pair of steal gray eyes glaring down toward her. "Corporal…why are you in my room?" she asked clearly still half asleep, raising her free hand to rub at her tired eyes as she stifled a yawn.
"You're in my office brat," Levi spoke frowning toward the young woman as she simply nodded her head toward him. "Uh-huh, I'm in your office…," she repeated him before attempting to settle herself back onto his desk, but as soon as her cheek made contact with his desk her eyes shot open in surprise. She quickly scrambled to her feet and saluted the short corporal quickly sputtering out an apology toward him. He ignored her apology though and quickly grabbed her upper arm dragging her behind him. She struggled to stay on her feet and follow behind him, she almost bumped into his back though when he came to stop at another door at the back of the room. She had seen the door when she had first arrived to his office, but she had decided against exploring the inside. He used his free hand to throw open the door, revealing a small bedroom that Elliot quickly glanced around before she was pulled forcefully yet again to another door. The corporal easily threw open the door as well before tossing her inside like some sort of ragdoll. Elliot landed on her butt, eyes glancing around the white tilted room, it was obviously a bathroom. She looked toward her corporal raising a curious brow as he disappeared from the door frame only to reappear a moment latter holding a black shirt and a pair of gray sweats. He threw them at her, frowning lightly when the girl made no attempt to catch them and they merely landed on top of her head. "You're a fucking mess cadet, get yourself cleaned up," he spoke roughly and then quickly slammed the door to his bathroom shut, not giving the young girl a chance to respond to his behavior.
Elliot grumbled a few curses under her breath as she pulled the clothes from off the top of her head and easily folded them up before placing them onto a nearby counter. She glanced at herself in the mirror and sure enough, she was defiantly a mess, she must have been pretty tired to prioritize sleeping over finding a way to get clean. Elliot slowly stripped herself out of her uniform, folding it up as well and setting it on the opposite side of the counter from the clothes just provided to her. She slowly moved to turn on the shower, waiting for the water to warm up before she stepped into it. Elliot hummed a light tune, distracting herself from the thought of her missing family, the loss of Marco, and the short corporal who was only a room away. If she could just keep all those thoughts out of her mind then she knew that she would be alright and avoid any possible break down in the shower. She doubted she even had the tears to cry out anymore, she had cried so much today after all. It wasn't too long until Elliot was done in the shower and stepped out smelling clean. She quickly grabbed a nearby towel quickly drying herself off and then wrapping it around her small form. She stepped over toward the clothes, red eyes scanning her undergarments with a slight look of disgust…she didn't want to put those back on. She had been wearing them all day and she was damn sure they smelled of sweat and titan blood, but how would she feel wearing clothes that weren't her own without her panties and bra? Elliot shuddered at the thought before grabbing her bra, but upon taking one smell of the thing she quickly frowned. "Screw it…," she muttered under her breath throwing her bra back onto the counter and getting changed into the clean set of clothes. She found herself for once thankful that she didn't have much of a bust, a bra not always being needed. She tied the drawstring to the sweats, securing them around her hips before stepping out of the bathroom.
She found Levi in his office, a bandana wrapped around half his face as he scrubbed down his desk with a white rag. He glanced toward her before pointing toward some extra cleaning supplies that sat on the floor near his door. Elliot inwardly groaned before sulking over toward the supplies, her hands easily gripping the broom. "Really sir? You brought me here to clean?" she asked watching as the man stood up straight and lowered his bandana from his mouth. "Originally no, but seeing as how this is your mess it's only right that at the very least you help me clean," he said, his voice leaving no words for argument. Elliot gave a small sheepish smile before she quickly began sweeping up the dirt on the floor. A few minutes into her cleaning though and soon enough someone came rushing into the room without knocking which only seemed to annoy the short corporal to no end. Elliot looked toward the new comer and quickly recognized her as the crazy, insane lady who might preform all kinds of weird experiments on her, also known as Hanji. "Oh! Elliot I didn't know you were still here…and in the corporals clothes too, huh? Have you two been doing something in here?" she said eyeing the opened door into Levi's room, Elliot blushed a bright red color, but the raven haired male barely seemed to be phased by the sexual innuendos of his comrade. The woman grinned at Elliot taking a few quick steps toward the white haired girl, but Elliot moved even more quickly behind Levi using him as a shield from the crazy woman. She huffed in a bit of annoyance, but quickly settled down when she heard Levi speak to her anger clear in his voice. "What the hell do you want shitty glasses?" Levi spoke glaring toward the brown haired female whom only smiled brightly at him as if she knew something he didn't. "Well I found this woman's parents as you requested of me. They're staying at a small inn not far from here actually," Hanji said watching as Elliot raised a curious brow from over Levi's shoulder starring at her and then back at the corporal's head. Levi nodded his approval before quickly dismissing Hanji, but the woman made no move to leave. "Do you mind if I use your restroom Levi?" she asked happily, but did not wait for his response at all and quickly moved passed the two and into his room. Elliot blinked a few times in surprise at the sound of Hanji closing the bathroom door followed by the sound of Levi sighing out in a bit of annoyance at the woman's antics.
Elliot eyed Levi for a moment as he pulled his bandana back over his mouth before returning to his cleaning. She was defiantly right about this man, he had the most uncaring expression on his face most of the day, he gave off the demeanor of a complete asshole, but at the end of the day he genuinely cared about those he knew as 'comrades'. She smiled lightly before moving toward him, reaching a free hand to grab the hem of his shirt and get his attention. He tossed her an annoyed look over his shoulder and she knew he was asking her 'why the hell have you stopped cleaning' with his eyes. She laughed a bit before releasing his shirt and muttering out a small 'thank you', he nodded his head in return before pointing toward a window in his office. "Wait a second, I know for a fact I didn't even touch those windows," she said pouting slightly toward him as he gave her a slight glare. "Do I look like I give a shit?" he asked, pushing some window cleaner into her arms. Elliot was about to give a small protest, but the sound of Hanji running out of the bathroom stopped her protests and she instead jumped behind Levi to hide. "You two really did it!? Oh my gosh, I'm so proud of you Levi! I didn't think you had it in you!" she shouted excitedly before reaching out and gently gripping both of Levi's shoulders, lowering herself to his height to look at him seriously. "If you have a girl, you better name her after me," Hanji said before laughing at the confused looks on both Elliot's and Levi's face. "Oh don't try to feign innocence with me. You did a terrible job at hiding your underwear after all Eli," Hanji spoke laughing louder. Elliot turned a bright red color and quickly dropped the cleaning supplies to cover her chest with her hands as the corporal shot a strange look over his shoulder at her. She couldn't decipher his look, but at the moment she didn't care, she felt like she could die of embarrassment. "Oh wait a second, I see now, so you two didn't have sex, you were just trying to sedu-" Hanji started but, was cut off by a rather frantic screech of embarrassment from Elliot as she flew passed Levi and quickly pushed the brown haired woman out of the room. Elliot could hear the laughing of the woman for a while longer. Elliot hung her head in embarrassment unsure of how she was going to explain why she wasn't wearing her underwear in clothes that weren't her own. "You can keep those clothes," Levi's voice came with ease breaking the silence and Elliot felt like she could just die at those words, she was completely and utterly mortified.
