Chapter Text
Your name was (F/n) Zoe. You graduated 2nd in your class, and you have just officially joined the Survey Corps. You walked to your room to pack up your very few things. You turned the old rusty knob of the door and entered the slightly dusty room. You grabbed your already packed suitcase and took one last look around the room that you have spent a few years in while you were training. You took a deep breath and turned to leave the room, but before you could, you were suddenly on the floor, with a squealing Hanji on top of you. Oh yeah, you're the sister of Hanji Zoe. The titan obsessed squad leader.
"YOU DID IT! YOU JOINED! NOW I CAN SEE YOU EVERY DAY! AND YOU CAN HELP ME OUT ON MY EXPERIMENTS! OH! OH! YOU CAN MEET MY PET TITANS! THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!" she yelled. You looked back up at her and chuckled.
"Hanji, can you get off of me? The floor isn't too comfortable you know."
"RIGHT! SORRY!" She yelled and hopped off of you like a hyperactive ninja.
"Jeez! Haha, calm down. It isn't that big of a deal." you said, with a warm smile. She shook her head frantically and put her hands on your shoulders, then she began to shake you frantically.
"OH! But it IS a big deal! My sister's going to be j-" then you slapped your hand over her mouth and shook your head.
"Nuh-uh. No way. No one can know we're sister's yet, okay? At least let me get used to the place first before you go spouting off that shit." you waited for a few moments, and then she nodded. You sighed and took your hand off of her mouth. She had a huge ass smile plastered on her face. You may be sister's and best friends, but sometimes you just want to punch her.
"You're gonna love it there my little shortcake!" she yelled, draping an arm over your shoulder. She called you shortcake, and several other nickname's for a short person. Because in fact, you were 5'1. Which isn't THAT big of a deal, right? At this point, you don't even try to stop her from calling you those names because she has always done it. And no matter how many time's you would try to tell her to stop, she was just too damn persistent, so eventually you gave up and just let it happen.
"Alright well, LET'S GO!" she yelled, dragging you out the door. Well the next few hours getting there can't be so bad, right?
~Time skip~
When you arrived, you set down your suitcase and stretched. Being in a cramped space with Hanji was stressful and annoying as hell. As much as you loved her, sometimes you just needed a break.
"YAY! Ready for me to show you around? Let's go see Erwin!" she yelled, once again, pulling you harshly by the arm. As you both "walked" through the hallways of HQ, you saw several interesting looking people you passed by. Since you couldn't willingly slow down to get a better look, you just went off of their main characteristics, and named them based off of them.
Horse.
Coconut.
Bowling Ball.
Finally, you made it to Erwin's door. Well, you actually liked to call him Captain Bushy Brow. You just always had a habit of nicknaming people. Hanji likes to call him out on his eyebrow's too, but you always do it. She didn't even knock, she opened the door, and walked you both in, and slammed the door.
He jumped slightly in his seat, and saw you both. He glared at Hanji, and then smiled kindly at you.
"Ah (Y/n)! What a nice surprise. I didn't expect you here so soon." he smiled and you laughed.
"Hanji forced the guy controlling the carriage to make the horses go faster. Any ways, how have you been Captain Bushy Brow?" he chuckled and replied, "Same old, same old." You nodded in response and a silence washed over you guys. It was 50/50 on the Comfortable and Awkwardness Scale.
"Oh Erwin! I forgot! (Y/n) doesn't want people to know that she's my sister quite yet. What do we do about the whole last name thing?! Corporal Shorty ONLY calls cadet's by their last names." spoke up Hanji, looking somewhat panicked about the whole situation at hand.
You chuckled and answered, "I'll just take mom's maiden name then. Would that work for now?" you asked Erwin. He thought for a moment and then nodded. You smiled brightly and said, "Thanks Bushy Brow. You're the best." you gave a thumbs up and turned to Hanji.
"So where to next?" you asked. She beamed and didn't even bother answering, she just....left.
"Dammit Hanji!" You groaned, and then walked out of the office searching for your hyper sibling. Suddenly you see a short man, although he is actually taller than you by like two inches, walking down the hallway.
"Um, hello?" you say down the empty hallway. The stranger ignores you and keeps walking.
'Rude.' you think and then speak a little louder this time, "Um, hey dude! Did you hear me? I need to ask you if you've seen a bat shit crazy woman named Hanji Zoe." he stopped in his tracks, and turned around with a straight face.
"You mean shitty glasses?" he asked. You started laughing at the nickname that this guy has given your sister. You must agree though, it suited her perfectly. Your laughing died down and you wiped a fake tear from your eye and nodded.
"Yeah, that's the one. She was supposed to show me around, but she ditched me in Captain Bushy Brow's office." you say nonchalantly. He raises an eyebrow and shakes his head.
"No, I haven't seen her. Who may you be, exactly?" he asked in a monotone voice. You realized that he might be an important guy so you lose your usually sarcastic and cool personality, and stay all business.
"My name is (F/n) (L/n). I just joined." you spoke firmly. On the outside he didn't show it, but on the inside he was admiring your change from sarcastic to business.
"I see. Well like I stated earlier, I haven't seen shitty glasses. I have nothing better to do at the moment. I can show you around."
"Oh, sure. Thanks. I really appreciate it." You smiled a kind smiled and jogged up beside him and walked side by side with him.
"So tell me about yourself (L/n)." he spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Well, what do you want to know? I, uh, don't usually talk about myself." he raised an eyebrow, but then set it back down.
"Hobbies. Things you dislike. Things you like."
"Okay. Well, I usually draw or write in my free time. I also bake when I'm bored. I hate titans, loud people, un-loyal people, arrogance, and a lot more. I like tea, alone time, not too many people in one place, I also like to cuss a lot, I like giving nicknames to my close friends, I have a pretty sick sense of humor, and I enjoy slaying those titan bitches....oh and I make a shit ton of sarcastic remarks. If they become too much, just please, tell me. I know they can get annoying as fuck, but old habits die hard." you finish off with a sigh.
He nodded and let out a deep chuckle.
'That chuckle is sexy as hell.'
"(Y/N)! THERE YOU ARE!! Oh hey shortie!" yelled Hanji when she ran up to you two.
'Tch'. Was all he responded with.
"Woo. Bat shit crazy found me." you say with clear fake enthusiasm. The stranger had a ghost of a smile on his lips, but then it quickly returned to normal nothingness.
"HEY! DON'T CALL ME THAT! I've been lookin' for you everywhere! Where did you go?!"
"You ran away." you deadpanned.
"WHA?!"
"You left Bushy Brow's office and ran off. At least tell me first." you spoke. You sighed and shook your head.
"Never mind. Let's just go." you spoke. Then you turned to face the stranger. "Oh, and thanks for showing me around when shit for brains over there left."
"No problem. I know how she can be."
"Oh yeah, I never caught your name dude." you said casually with a smile. He smirked. That smirk can't mean something good, can it?
"The name's Levi. Lance Corporal Levi." You froze. The guy who you have been talking so casually to, is Humanities Strongest soldier, and also your corporal.
"Oh shit. My apologies corporal. Um, Sorry for calling you dude and disrespecting you sir!" you put on a firm salute. He waved it off, and his smirk disappeared.
"Don't worry about it. Just don't get into that habit."
"Yes sir!" Hanji grabbed you and started to pull you away while shouting, "See ya later at dinner Shortie! I'm taking her with me now!"
"Lat-I mean Bye sir!" you yelled and followed her.
Levi sighed and shook his head.
'She's an interesting one,' he thought, and then he turned around and walked back to his office. Because like he stated earlier, he had nothing better to do.
You couldn't wait to see the corporal again, because he was actually a fun guy to talk to, even if he didn't reply...
