He looked at her, surprised by what she had just asked. The question caught him off guard but his stoic and empty expression remained.

"Why do you ask?" he replied. His food was a few bites from being finished but this question stalled him from being so.

"Because your author never classified your actual age, and it would be pretty nice if I was the only one who knew."

"You're one nosy brat, aren't you?" He sipped from his water since he refused her offer of coffee or some other tea that was not black tea. Somehow, she found this quite adorable. Humanity's strongest- Captain Levi- acting like a child and being picky with his drinks.

"Please tell me, I'm not going to tell anyone." she slightly pouted. He was never convinced by this form of begging- he was used to it since Hange would always try to beg him to take part in her expirements and pout at him. He learned how to reject the irresistable pout.

"Alright, alright." He finally replied. She was surprised to see him submit to her- which never really worked on anyone.

"I'm..." he paused as if to excite her. This moment reminded her of a scene in some movie she watched long ago about some vampire. She wanted to respond "say it, say it out loud." but she knew he would just be irritated with her and not know what the hell she was going on about. "My age is..."

She felt like everything was in slow motion. Anticipation built up in her body; finally, she would know the age of Captain Levi. She, him, and the author himself would be the only ones to know of this information. She would know of this secret and no one else would, she would walk around confidently knowing Levi's actual age.

"none of your business." He coldly replied. This one small reply drained her of all her enthusiasm as if her soul had just left her body. I'm so stupid. Of course he wouldn't tell anyone. She internally screamed.

Trying to prevent herself to explode with nuclear rage and disappointment, she took her plate and put it in the sink. Damn it man, I can't believe this asshole won't tell me. But I shouldn't even be surprised, he's far too secretive and unpredictable. She pondered as she washed her dishes, unaware that she was aggressively rubbing them with a sponge. She tried to release her disappointment somehow.

"By the way, we still need to clean this house. I can't stand it." He set down the plate beside her for her to wash.

"mmk," she replied.

When she finished, she went out to her living room to find Levi with all the cleaning supplies, opening a window wide open. How he found the cleaning supplies was beyond her. Probably some sort of cleaning supplies telepathy or some shit. she chuckled to herself; strangely, as unfunny as her jokes were, she still lamely laughed at them. He turned to look at her laughing quietly to herself.

He lightly blushed at the sight of the idiot mumbling "nice one" to herself and laughing. His a reaction was not Levi-like in any way, he surely felt something inside him trigger it, but he didn't know what. In attempts to push the feeling away, he said, "Why the hell are you laughing by yourself, idiot?"

"Nothing," She chuckled one last time, "let's clean."

The next few hours were exhausting for her. Following up with Levi's incessant demands of cleaning things was tedious; telling her to do things again simply because they "weren't clean enough". She stopped a few times to eat but Levi insisted that they finished everything until they ate. I would definitely not make it in the universe he's living in. I'm too unfit and would immediately die of fatigue.

Finally they finished. It was quiet since Levi decided to take a shower. That man was very talkative in contrast to his permanent stoic face. She sighed as she laid down on her couch and closed her eyes for a few minutes.

She was shaken awake, it's Levi. she internally groaned.

"Oi, wake up." She got up and rubbed her eyes.

She screamed as she fully opened her eyes, falling off the couch. There, infront of her, was the beautiful man- half naked, torso showing and all, his manhood being covered by a towel, water dripping down the curves on his arms and abdomen.

She felt her face turn red and covered her eyes.

"W-where the hell are your clothes?" She shouted as she sat back down on the couch, tucking her legs in, still keeping her eyes closed. As much as she saw many topless men on the internet and television, she could not help but get flustered over this. Levi was built despite his short stature. Oh no he's hot. She thought.

"They're still in the drying thing, so I cannot wear them yet." He monotonously replied, slightly amused by the dumbfounded girl.

"I... I'll get you clothes, I have clothes for you." She finally opened her eyes, averting them from the sight that might make her think thoughts that could potentially take her to hell.

She quickly walked into the room and looked through her wardrobe. He walked into her room and leaned on the wall waiting.

She reached out to give him the clothes, not turning to him. He walked to her and took the clothes and she immediately walked out of her room to let him change, still flushed knowing that the only thing keeping her from seeing him completely naked was that towel. 

"Where did you get these clothes? Aren't these for men?" He walked out, wearing a grey v-neck and black slightly fitting sweatpants. And sat on the couch beside her, crossing his legs and threw his arm on the couch behind her. She curled up, putting her knees to her chest, trying to build space between them, tucking in to the corner of the small couch. As much as she liked Levi, she felt uncomfortable after this whole spectacle. Shyness always took its toll on her.

"Yeah they are. I borrowed them from a friend once and I never returned them." She wasn't lying, those were her friends clothes. She just never really felt like she had the time to give them back. "By the way, we have to find out how to get you back to where you came from." traces of sadness were evident in her tone.

"Kicking me out already? I see." he replied, trying to lighten the mood with his deadpan humour.

"No, no, no, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that! I don't want to kick you out at all, its just that I assumed you wanted to go back home." she panicked.

"Idiot." He looked at her and patted her head. "I'm joking. Stop panicking just 'cause you saw me naked."

Asshole, she thought as she profusely blushed and walked into the kitchen.

After eating chinese takeout for dinner, they decided to play chess.

"Captain, have you ever dated anyone?" The words came out of her mouth, not even aware of what she had just said. She was blunt, it was sometimes a good trait, but most of the time it was a flaw.

"I've never really had the time to," He replied. She was surprised to see that he was not irritated at her straightforward and quite personal question. "and I don't know if I will. It's hard knowing that she could possibly die the day afterwards. I don't want to have to let her die when I could have done something about it. If I were to be in a relationship, it would be when there are no more titans to take her away." She remained silent. As cold as he was, he was still capable of loving and caring, but he doesn't know it. "How about you?" he continued, moving a chess piece.

"No."

"Not one?"

"No. No one really thought of me like that." she said, moving her chess piece.

"and why not?"

"I don't know. I mean there have been a few people who confessed to me, but I just don't return the feelings. But I've never dated anyone and I'm not surprised. My appearance is pretty dull." She averted her eyes away and looked down, trying to conceal her sadness. She didn't want him to know how much of a weakling she could be with her feelings since he hardly shows any of it.

"Why do you degrade yourself like that? Who cares about other people anyway." He rolled his eyes and took her pawn. "For someone who likes to help other people, you dont know how to help yourself."

"I don't know, I guess its just cause I don't want others to feel how I feel because I know its a shitty feeling." She moved a piece.

"You're too sensitive. You need to put your happiness before someone else's sometimes." He said. They both stopped the game. The whole conversation have turned into a deep talk that night. She didn't know that Levi was ever capable of giving advice to her. No one was there to help her when she needed help, and now she'd found it. There was a long silence, leaving both of them to think.

"But seriously, no boyfriend?" He asked monotonously, playfully teasing her.

"Captain Levi, if you did not have the ability to kill people, I would have punched you by now." she laughed and he returned a small smirk.

"Try me."

The rays of the sun shone through her window, irritating her eyes as she opened them. She sat up, letting her feet touch the cold wooden floor and rested, trying to wake herself up completely. Finally, she got out of her bed to go to the kitchen.

To her surprise, Levi had already made everything. He came out of the kitchen holding a plate of eggs and toast. She taught him the previous day how to make toast and what everything in her kitchen did and he learned them pretty quickly.

"I see you're awake." he told her, wearing that cute pink apron she had but never used. Of course he would use it, he wouldn't want to risk messing up his clothes.

"No, not really.Nice apron, by the way." She laughed.

"Don't be wise with me, you brat." He replied coldly.

She felt awkward until she saw a small and unnoticable smirk appear on his face. "Come, let's eat." She smiled and sat across him in her small square table.

There was a different atmosphere between them that morning. After she opened up to him, she felt much closer to him. It surprised her that she was able to become comfortable with him after only a day or two.

Their conversation was interrupted by a noise coming in from her bathroom. "What was that?" She got up from her chair. There was another noise, it sounded like her bathroom door opening and stuff in her bathroom being dropped. Levi got up from his chair and went to the bathroom. She followed behind.

He tried to keep her behind him as he opened the door.

Pushing the door open, he was completely taken by surprise at the sight of what was inside the room. His expression made her curious.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" he shouted. She looked over his shoulder, trying to see who her intruder was. There, inside her bathtub laying was none other than the "shitty-glasses" Hange.
