Why did he do it? Was it to confuse her? Maybe to tease her? Or just to absolutely shatter her? Or maybe he went as far because he really did have something for her? No that wasn't it. Maybe it's because he wanted to use her?

"Section commander?..."

This is useless. Or maybe it was to annoy Petra? Petra was a bit clingy with him. Or maybe to make things awkward between them? Strength their relationship? Force the truth out of her? To dig deep into her heart and find that little fraction of affection she had towards him?

"Section commander?"

Or maybe just to arouse her and then leave her clueless like he'd just done. Hange's thoughts were interrupted by water being splashed violently in her face. She had woken up in the same deep thoughts from the night before. Walked into the hall with never ending thoughts and false, hopeless suggestions. Now she was sitting with her spoon in her hand, with it dripping with soup she had picked but hadn't managed to actually put into her mouth.

"What the fu-", she was about to lose it before she looked up seeing Levi put an empty cup down. He did it.

"You're little assistant has been calling your name for ages. Pay attention", he scolded her. She moved her gaze from Levi to Moblit. He looked worried and like he'd been waiting for a response for ages.

"You called me?"

"Um yeah. I noticed you were slipping away and thought I'd get your attention but it clearly didn't work...", Moblit trailed off still concerned.

"Wonder what she's thinking off that's got her this lost", Levi stated whilst innerly grinning.

That little scumbag.

"That so?", Hange spat out "If you must know, I'm only trying to come up reasons as to why yo-", she was cut short with Levi who had grabbed her collar and yanked her down to his level. He reached for her ears, smirking with a hint of annoyance in his face.

"What happened between us yesterday STAYS between us.Otherwise you'll be going down with me. Understood?", his deep threatening voice was like music to Hange's ears. Maybe she should pull more tricks like this often to get him to whisper like that. She nodded whilst rolling her eyes. His attitude certainly showed no sign of affection towards her.

'Ha. The short Ass was just doing to mess with my feelings. Some fucking retarded bastard he can be', was Hange's conclusion. I mean what other valid reason was there?

Hange angrily stomped to her room receiving a hurtful nudge from Petra on her way. She slammed the door shut and unbuckled the strap situated above her breast.

"Fucking bastard", she muttered taking her shirt off and throwing it in the nearest bucket to be washed later. She rummaged through her messed up wardrobe looking for a new shirt.

None.

She could've sworn she washed them all. No she gave it to Moblit. God knows what he did with them afterwards.

"Argh!", she looked for a random shirt that wasn't the survey corps uniform. It should be allowed. She had a decent excuse. Levi, the same guy who had the courage to randomly smack his lips on hers, violently splashed water on her. Sure it wasn't that big of a deal but his attitude didn't change. He could've been nicer today. But who was she kidding. This was Levi Ackerman.

"He does have a soft spot I'd give him that", she held a smile underneath her anger. Good thing he'd cried in front of her before. She could just use that against him. Hange felt herself grinning maniacally at all she could do. But he trusted her.

She sighed deeply. He truly was a confusing man. And intriguing. She put the new shirt on and heading towards her lab. Again. Moblit had managed to catch up with her. Following right behind her. She could tell that him being the faithful assistant would be stuck to her urging her to eat and sleep and all stuff.

Which he did.

He had brought her lunch and snacks several times Hange began to question where he was getting all the food from. There was barely any food around here... And he was a more fussy than usual, and he grinned more often and stood around her ready to be bossed around endlessly. When night finally came, she dismissed him returning the smile he'd been giving her the entire day.

"You're not going to bed? Again?"

"No but I wouldn't like to waste your night. I'll see you tomorrow", she pointed at the door before facing her head back down. Moblit stood watching for sometime before asking her if he could speak to her.

"What for?"

"Nothing related to any of this whole Titan stuff going on... and nothing to do with your research... but it's really important"

He looked all tense and worried. A drop of sweat fell down and he seemed to be holding his breath.

"Okay? And what is it that you have to tell me that has put a sudden stop to my research, has nothing to do with Titan 'stuff', and has nothing to do with my research and is really important?"

Moblit looked at her as if shocked but expected that much. She didn't need to g as far as to rephrasing her sentence. Even if she did sound a little bit mad.

"Do you think we'd still be here by the times the titans are completely wiped out of the surface of earth?"

She laughed manically and had Moblit wafting his hands all over the place telling her to keep it down "Of course not! I'd probably be dead, who knows... but why are you asking anyway?"

He looked back to double check that the doors were locked. They were.

"You're a great person, Hange. And a great section commander. I've been honoured to be a part of your life and for being your assistant. I know it's a bit early to say this since the retake of wall Maria is until next week. But I have my reasons as to why I'm saying this...", he fidgeted with his fingers looking downwards. "I don't know if this was the right time to tell you... but I think I've caught feelings... for you..."

She sat with her jaw sitting in her hands that were linked staring at him intently.

"Hm.", was the sound she could make. Moblit was bright red feeling as if he'd done the dumbest thing ever.

"I mean it's not like I truly know how I feel. I'm not that sure it just dawned on me a couple of weeks ago! It's just you're always with Levi I was too scared he'd get you first and all... but if I freaked you out I'm sorry!"

"Levi get me first?!", Hange laughed "He's just a close friend... someone I confide in". But she knew more. Great so first she'd been kissed and now her assistant was confessing.

Could this get more confusing?
