Chapter Text
The survey corps is getting ready for their next expedition : the conquest of Wall Maria and closing the breach in Shiganshina with Eren's hardening power. It's been weeks since Queen Historia's coronation, and the regiment is slowly making progress in their conquest plan.
A night in Trost district, a small feast was organized to cheer up the new recruits. Everything was fine, the party was in full swing, the food was tasty, the new recruits were eager and lively. The Survey Corps's veterans were even given a bit of wine.
At then end of the evening, most of the people were going to bed, the others keep happily chatting while finishing their meal.
Levi's squad was still here. Eren was sprawled on the table, tired of his bickering with jean, who keeps bothering him. The 2 glass of wine he had drunk made his insults more and more uncertain. Armin and Mikasa were watching them with a face full of despair, and Connie was trying to calmed down Sasha who was furiously swallowing the leftover food and drinks on the table while lecturing her friends on waste.
"You should bring her to her dorm Connie" chimed in Armin, seeing that Connie was struggling with Sasha. "It's late and there is not a lot of people left, even the commanders has gone to bed"
"Well, it's way past her bed time but I don't think she's in the right mood to sleep right now"
Sasha keeps tossing around the table, unaware that she was the center of the conversation. Suddenly, Mikasa firmly grabbed her wrist and stared coldly at her. "Sasha, go to bed".
Sasha immediately slow down, her face progressly filled with utter terror as Mikasa keeps staring at her and tightening her grip. She comply, scared to the point of forgetting the leftover food in her friend's plate. Everybody knew that you shouldn't mess up with Mikasa.
Connie helped her to get to her feet and leaded her to her dorm, she was tipsy and can't walk very straight. She leaned on his shoulder while climbing up the stairs, whining. Her dorm is down the west corridor, they have to pass the commanders room to get there. While passing Hanji's room, Sasha's face enlighten "Ooooh it's Hanji's room! I think we should stop by and wish her a goodnight!"
"Hum...no...I don't think it's a good idea..." He whispered while distancing them from the room. "Sasha no!"
Before he can catch her, she run away and break through Hanji's room, without knocking first. She slams shut the door behind her, forgetting her friend was right here. Anxious, Connie didn't feel brave enough to barge into the squad leader's room they have probably awaken to apologize profusely. He hesitated a lot then turn around and walk away, leaving her friend to her sad fate.
When he came back to the dining hall, Armin was suprised about how fast and compliant was Sasha. Connie seems to hesitate for a while, then confessed "Sasha...she went by and enter Hanji's room. I...coudn't stop her so..."
Suddenly, all of the squad was dead silent, staring at Connie with a stoic face. They can't be mad at him, they probably would have left her too. Slowly, everyone went back to what they were doing before Connie's interuption.
"Well, maybe she won't bother Hanji-san too much" intervened Armin with a not-so reassuring face
