She ran out, squealing in a matter of seconds, arms wrapped around the tiny man in front of her. He saw it coming.

"Your legs were messed up during the whole expedition. How did you manage to get them?" Hange enquired.

"I have my ways", he gave a short reply still looking unbothered.

"Awh no don't be like that", she pouted. "4 metres and 7 metres. Awesome!"

"We should get back in", Levi sighed holding her hands to drag her in. She went on blabbering about the next day being the naming ceremony. Levi could feel himself smiling and it had taken courage to stop it from showing. The Levi Ackerman they knew never smiled. He never would.

The party had been over and yet there were still drunk men sitting around. Erwin was nowhere to be found. The group of teenagers had scurried off to the boys rooms as the chattering coming from the room was unbelievable. There were cheering and it sounded as if the usual two had gotten into a mini fight again to entertain the other boys. There were however tiny laughters from the girls room and it was normal. The rooms were opposite each other which made a huge difference between the level of noise.

Petra stormed into her room slamming the door behind her. She scratched her head violently screaming.

"Someone's angry", a voice came from a chair. The person tilted the chair around to face Petra with a grin on her face. She sighed out in relief.

"Rico. What are you doing here?"

"Oh you know the usual. I figured you'd leave quite early and away from those men. They really drank too much. So what's got you all worked up?"

Petra blinked a couple of times before Rico let out an insane laugh.

"Don't tell me you STALKED them, Petra!", she laughed trying to stay cool "Was anything wrong with your outfit? Did you not manage to you know impress him? What happened this time?"

"He got her titans", Petra replied with an unbothered face "That's stupid. Who gives out titans as a present. And he held her hand. THAT should've been me. Not that I want a Titan. And my clothes were good enough to at least draw his attention."

"Well, you'll need proper help from someone like Dr Jeager's wife. I heard she was a real prostitute but the woman is dead. And if you didn't know, Hange uses those titans for the experiments"

"Fuck her experiments", Petra muttered falling into her bed. "And fuck her existence" Rico accompanied her sitting next to her.

"I know this is hard for you Petra but you need to let go of Levi. What if him and Hange are secretly in a relationship?"

"That's not allowed"

"More reason why you and him won't end up together"

Rico received a threatening glare. So what if it was against the rules for soldiers to be in a relationship at a time like this? She needed to know a lot about Hange and Levi. Maybe they were just friends who had such strange close contact. Or maybe it's because they're squad are always around each other. It wasn't as if Hange had something that Petra didn't have. Up until tonight, she was one of the hottest girls voted from the men. Hange wasn't even on the list. And she was taller than Levi. Maybe he should stick with people less that 160cm tall.

Petra's head dropped as she let out a sigh "You can leave, Rico. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Alright girl. I'd love it if you can come for Hange's naming ceremony"

Petra wafted her hands around to gesture her to leave quickly. It was time to take things seriously.

"Erwin.", Levi stood outside Erwin's door knocking gently. After minutes, he opened it slowly and not completely.

"How may I help you?"

Levi managed to take a peek into the room even with Erwin standing there. The bedsheet was ruffled and the duvet in some way kept moving up and down. And Erwin. His shirt. Three buttons undone, his hair less smooth than usual. Levi got the idea of what was going on. He sighed.

"Hange got the titans. She said I should inform you of the naming ceremony tomorrow"

"She still does those? Oh for heaven's sake. Alright, I'll be there", Erwin kept his brows in the same position whilst smiling.

"Have a great remainder of your birthday", Levi scoffed whilst leaving the presence. Look at Erwin breaking his own rules. But it was his birthday so it had to be gone unnoticed.

The noise from outside was strong enough to wake Petra up. She looked out of the window. Of course. The naming ceremony had begun. As Rico had requested of her, she got ready and got downstairs.

"Good morning to you too", Rico smiled at her arrival "that one over there is Sawney. And that one is Bean" Petra moved her eyes to look at the blond, short titan, Sawney and the taller one, Bean.

"Ugh she's lost it at this point", Petra almost ripped her eyes out. She still had to stick to what she had prepared.

Petra had made it a goal to avoid Hange at all cost on this particular day. When it was finally nighttime she headed outside toward the tent where Sawney and Bean were kept. As expected, Hange was there with a little lamp. She was telling them stories.

I've never met an actual idiot in my life was Petra's only invading thought.

"Section commander?", she began. Hange paused and turned to look at Petra. She then stood up with a grin.

"Yes Petra how may I help you?"

"I have a really important question to ask"

"Go on..."

Petra opened her mouth to speak before the tent opened on. And what seemed unbelievable caught her eyes. At the entrance was Levi.

With tears in his eye.

He walked up to Hange wrapping his arms around her.

"It's okay", she consoled him. It sounded as if this wasn't the first time it's happened. Levi crying. Hange hugging him. And her tone of voice. Petra stood there watching and it was as if her presence was long forgotten. She turned and left. Her question hadn't been answered yet. She could feel her face heating up and her eyes were watery. A few drops of tears and her mood change.

It wasn't over. It was time to get her father involved.
