Eren was…well he was extremely confused. He couldn't comprehend what was going on with Levi, especially when the Corporal left dinner quite early. The teen frowned, his mind raking through everything that he has done between then and now. Was the Corporal mad about the cut on his lip? No that couldn't be it, for Levi had simply brushed it off.

Irritation was becoming apparent on his features and Mikasa tapped him on the shoulder. "Eren? Don't make that face you look constipated."

"Elegant as always Mikasa," Eren retorted, "Don't mind me, so how was your day?"

Mikasa gave him a quick glare before responding, "Nothing particularly interesting happened today. Though Armin here did come up with some ideas for the formations."

Armin looked down at his food, picking at it as a slight blush danced across his cheeks. "It's nothing really."

Jean glanced over to the blond after the comment was made, "Nothing? Armin, you're a fucking genius! Everything you do isn't just 'nothing', you're going to get us places. I can see it now."

Armin's blush deepened at Jean's words and Eren couldn't help but chuckle at his friend's embarrassment. Eren had to admit it was strange seeing Jean being friendly but Armin deserved the praise. He always thought so little about himself; it usually did the shorter teen good to hear the praise. Armin's gaze focused on Eren, "So, what did you do today?"

The blond directed everyone's attention to Eren, suddenly eager to hear what he had to say. Only Sasha and Connie remained oblivious to what was going around them. The two were cracking jokes and playing with their food as Eren cleared his throat. "I trained. Corporal Levi actually trained with me, and I learned a few things."

"No shit? Humanity's Strongest decided to waste time on you?" Jean snorted and met Eren's glare with equal intensity, "Did he knock you on your ass? I don't think you could beat him in anything."

Eren's fist clenched at the words, "I actually knocked him on his ass and gave him that cut on his lip."

He didn't mention how sore his body was though. Healing powers or not, the smaller man packed a punch.

Jean just rolled his eyes, "I don't believe you. Well, I'm not going to waste my time on you tonight."

With that the teen pushed away from the table and left the dining quarters. Eren was tempted to go chase after him and beat him to a pulp but Mikasa was holding onto Eren's arm, and gave him a warning glare.

Armin dismissed himself, and soon Mikasa left too. Connie and Sasha had departed sometime ago, leaving Eren and a few stragglers alone in the dining area. The brunet stretched before he decided that he should leave as well. Eren was still curious to why Levi was acting like he did, and decided he wanted some closure before he had to descend into the basement for a night's sleep.

A yawn escaped past the Lance Corporal's lips, and he could feel his eyes start to grow heavy with sleep. Training with Eren had worn him out to an extent, and now he was becoming mentally exhausted. Sometimes he would regret being in charge of his own squad and not just be some random soldier. There was paperwork that he had to fill out as a leader, but not as a follower.

He glared at the said paperwork, and decided to take a break. He stood up and stretched out his back before popping his neck. He then walked around to the couch that was along the wall in his now tidy office and plopped down with a sigh escaping his mouth.

Levi closed his eyes for a moment, allowing his body to relax. It wouldn't kill him to get a quick nap before he finished up some paper work for the night. Of course he would have more the following day, but breaking it up into variables seemed to make it more tolerable.

There was a knock on his door, and Levi gave an audible groan. He shouted for them to come in, and didn't bother to open his eyes. He could sense a body standing before him, and he opened his eyes slowly to see Eren peering at him. Determination was visible in those damn eyes of his, "What do you want, Eren? Can't you see I'm exhausted?"

Eren bit his lower lip, hesitation became apparent and the teen shifted slightly to straighten his stance. "I'm sorry for interrupting sir, but I had a question."

"It couldn't wait for tomorrow?"

"No."

"Of course not," Levi scooted over on the couch to make room for Eren and patted the spot next to him, Eren complied, "Well, go ahead and ask. You have a time limit before I kick your ass out that door for bothering me while I was trying to get one fucking nap in."

Eren tensed and flicked his gaze to the Corporal's tired face, "Sir, I was wondering if I did something wrong."

It was Levi's turn to tense up, "That wasn't a question, Yeager."

"No, I guess not. Though they way you were acting after training, it made it seem like I did something wrong."

Levi shifted; his usual expression was visible as he responded to Eren, "I gave you a compliment didn't I? You did nothing wrong. Now is that all?"

The brunet didn't seem satisfied with the answer, "Sir, I still don't understand wh-"

"Yeager, please, get out. You got your answer, and this is the only time I'm asking nicely."

Eren seemed to be slightly hurt by the abruptness, but Levi didn't want to explain that he had to get away from Eren because he was blushing like some idiotic teenager. Levi said good night as Eren left and watched as the door closed. He felt bad for not telling the kid the whole truth, but it wasn't needed.

Levi allowed his eyes to slide shut once more, that disappointed face embedded into his mind. "Damn brat! I can't even fucking sleep without him messing with my damn mind."

Levi opened his eyes, and just let his thoughts wander. He thought of how Eren came in so determined but ended up being hesitant, and it brought a small smile to his lips. That brat went through so many emotions, it had to be exhausting. Of course Levi was a man of little emotion, he knew how to show them, but he just chose not to. Eren was the exact opposite, and Levi was always able to read him like an open book. Sure, Levi was aware of Eren's confusion and frustration towards the Lance Corporal's actions, but he didn't let the teen know that.

Then that grin Eren had plastered on his face when Levi told him he would train him. Just the thought of it brought slight heat to the Corporal's face, and he scowled at himself for wanting to see the brat smile from happiness. He was sure Eren had a lovely smile, and that grin made him want to see it.

The man ran a hand through his hair before returning to his desk, his feelings still jumbled. Levi had no idea what was going on, and he wasn't sure if he really wanted to know.

A/N: I don't really have much to say about this chapter for now. Maybe I will later, but right now I'm just tired.

You guys seem to be coming out of no where! I'm glad you are all enjoying this so far!
