Day 1: First impressions

Rated T

Eren x Levi

Complete and utter fluff.

"You know, Levi," Hanji started as she adjusted her glasses "You're grumpier than usual today…" Levi seemed to ignore is friend in place of asking her a question.

"Hanji, who the hell is that?" He voiced, his nose wrinkling slightly in disgust as he took in the mud covered person brushing out his horse with a bucket of water and a sponge next to him. Hanji's high pony tail bobbed from side to side as she glanced around before her eyes locked on the man and the horse.

"Oh, he's fairly new. He came in with the second last batch of recruits, but since you have been away for the past three months you haven't seen him yet. His name is Eren, he is the one with those special titan powers. He is supposed to be guarded by someone all the time but Erwin seems to trust him for some reason so he is mostly left alone to complete his chores and duties," they said matter-a-factly. "I honestly don't know how Erwin managed to grab the kid…" she said trailing off. Hanji didn't have a chance to ask why he wanted to know because Levi had left her side and was making a beeline for the new recruit. Hanji sighed in pity for the poor young man before she made her way toward the building entrance to watch the show unfold.

Eren was tired and quite frankly uncomfortable. The mud he had gotten on himself earlier was beginning to dry and it was irritating his skin. This was the last horse he had to groom, thankfully. After this he had quite a few other things to complete but he figured he could clean up a bit before that. The dark brown mare's skin twitched slightly as Eren pressed the cool wet sponge against the middle of her left hind leg before slowly moving upward making sure he didn't startle her. Soon it was safe to continue on upward and he began to completely sponge her down, making sure he got the small balls of mud that had hardened in the hot summer sun. She was also quite warm and sweaty so it was clear she had just returned from being ridden, he decided this meant she got extra attention and care.

The mare flicked her ears and stomped her front foot harshly and Eren looked at her face in confusion.

"What is it girl?" He asked just as a shadow to his left caught his attention, he glanced up and his body froze; his fist clenched the sponge hard, forcing the water it had soaked up to gush to the ground. Levi….Lance Corporal Levi was standing next to him. Eren willed himself not to look like a fucking moron and suddenly his mind caught up with the situation and he dropped the sponge, his left arm twisting behind him to rest against his lower back while his right came up to cross his chest; his fist thumping over his heart in a salute.

"Corporal!" Eren greeted politely, not looking the man in the eye.

"What the hell happened to you? You're covered in mud…" Eren felt his cheeks warm slightly although it probably wasn't visibly because Levi was right, he was covered in mud. He watched as Levi let the mare nudge her soft nose into the side of his face as Levi scratched at her cheek.

"There is a large mud puddle over by the hose sir, and…" Eren paused, his body still rigid in a salute as he proceeded to embarrass himself "I slipped and fell in it, sir." He finished. He then made a point of making eye contact with the shorter man only to see him still look slightly grossed out but Eren could see a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Graceful are you?" Levi asked his voice even as he took a step away from the horse when she nuzzled roughly against the front pocket of his jacket. Eren pursed his lips fighting a small smile, yea he definitely wasn't the smoothest person.

"I will shower as soon as I finish cleaning this horse, corporal."

"This is my horse; she had a long journey so treat her good. Also you absolutely will not do that," Levi said his voice sounding slightly annoyed at the end of his sentence. Eren furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Sir?" he asked his arms finally falling back to his sides.

"Those showers were just cleaned, I can't have you getting mud everywhere and completely ruining the place again," Levi groused as if the mere thought was repulsive.

"I…what would you like me to do then?" Eren asked feeling a small amount of irritation rise, that's what showers were for!

'Don't lose your temper Jaeger he could beat you to within an inch of your life,' Eren chided himself mentally. Levi reached into the pocket of his jacket that the mare had been nudging at before pulling out a cube of sugar and holding it out. The mare happily took it into her mouth and munched on it loudly.

"Come with me," Levi said abruptly as he turned on his heel and began walking toward the side of the building. Eren looked at the horse next to him to see she was still tied up securely.

"I, um….what?" Eren asked still rooted to the ground with confusion coursing through him. He cringed when Levi spun back around and made his way back to Eren's side with a look of pure irritation on his face. He gripped Eren's mud caked upper arm with a grimace on his face when his hand got mud on it before pretty well dragging him along toward the side of the building.

Eren was still very much confused but still stumbled behind the man. Where were they going? Levi rounded the building, only stopping where the hose was neatly coiled on the wall. Eren was shoved away and told to stay where he was which was a few feet away from Levi. Eren warily watched as his commanding officer carefully un-wrapped the hose. He muttered something along the lines of 'this might be cold' before ice cold water was sprayed directly in Eren's face.

The young man spluttered against the water that was currently going up his nose and in his mouth. He spun in a circle trying to get away from the cold spray all the while squealing in a very unmanly manor but he couldn't bring himself to care. His body had already been overheated so this was a shocking contrast.

After what felt like an eternity the water stopped spraying him and he stood completely still, his breathing labored as his skin prickled due to the icy liquid. His clothes clung to him like a second skin and he peeled his brown jacket off, throwing it to the ground with a loud sloppy sound. His white shirt was completely see-through now and he was so cold. He finally looked up toward Levi through the wet hair that hung in his face. He wasn't going to lie…he was pissed.

"There, all the mud is gone," Levi said as he started to coil the hose up again as if what he just did wasn't the douchiest thing ever.

"I'm so cold," Eren found himself mumbling as he rubbed at the goose bumps up his arms.

"Finish caring for my horse and go take a hot shower. Now that the mud is gone you won't ruin the freshly cleaned bathing area," He said simply before walking around the corner of the building and out of Eren's sight.

Eren angrily grabbed his jacket from the ground and walked over to where Levi's horse was still tied up.

'What a fucking asshole,' Eren thought bitterly before picking up the sponge and continued to wash the horse.

Hope you liked it! :) Please drop me a review? :)
