Today was not a good day, and although I had always longed for something other than boring, I'd prefer it over this any day. This being the frustration gradually building up inside of me, ready to explode into a million pieces. Jaeger has been trying to keep me in check though.

"Sir, you really should rest for a bit. You've been working nonstop for days now and it's not good for your health." My assistant has been insisting for the past hour or so.

"I must get this done, Jaeger," I argued back, "When I am done, I shall do as you ask." He then would just sigh and get back to what he was doing before.

Ever since we were young, he's always worried about my health and how I'm doing on a daily basis. He was protective, and it got kind of annoying at points, but I knew it was because he cared about me so I didn't mind it a whole lot. He helped me to become who I am today, and I am grateful that he did.

Hearing a knock at the door, Eren got up to open the door for them. Standing in the doorway was a woman who I saw usually worked as an assistant for another worker, "Mr Ackerman? Someone is here to see you."

"Who is it?" I asked, standing up and fixing my tie, "Did they book an appointment? As far as I know, I did not have anything scheduled to meet someone."

"They said that you would know who they are, and no, they did not, but they said that it was important," The woman answered back, "If that will be all, sir."

"Yes, you may go now." With that, she left, closing the door behind her, "Come, Jaeger, shall we see who this visitor is?"

"We shall, Mr Ackerman."

I grunted as I was suddenly engulfed into a tight embrace, "Get off of me!"

"Aw, shorty, you're still the same as I last saw you: short!" The person hugging me screeched in my ear, "Whoops. My words slipped out of my mouth." With that, they let go, preparing to run, but before they could run off, I gripped onto their collar.

"Hanji, you fucker," I stated coldly, "Unless you want to get your head chopped off, I suggest that you shut up."

Said person just laughed joyfully, not caring that I, the most intimidating man you could ever meet -- according to Eren -- just threatened them, "Aw, come on, Levi! I know you wouldn't do such a thing to little ol' me!"

"We'll see about that." I spoke in a sinister tone, cracking my knuckles.

"Uh, Mr Ackerman, sir?" Eren stuttered, deciding it best to intervene before things got... ugly, "Hanji said that they had something important to discuss with you."

"Ah, yes," Hanji said before she spoke in a low tone, carefully choosing her words, "Before I get started, we should return to your office, or wherever you want to speak, just somewhere private and safe from prying ears. It's best to not get word out about this." Their eyes darted around the room skeptically, as if searching for anything suspicious.

"It is safe in my office," I spoke in an equally low voice, catching onto Hanji's hint, "No one will disturb us there."

I started to lead Hanji towards his office. However, I stopped when I noticed Eren and how he was unsure if he were to follow as well, so he just stood there awkwardly until Hanji finally noticed his presence, "Oh! I haven't introduced myself to you yet! How rude of me, my name is Hanji Zoe, but, please, call me Hanji! It's nice to meet you!" They held out their hand for him to shake.

"Likewise, Hanji," Eren took their hand and shook it, "My name is Eren Jaeger, Mr Ackerman's personal assistant."

Hanji suddenly turned towards me, as I had been watching the scene with a careful eye, "Oh, and he can come too."

Ooo, I wonder what Hanji wants to talk to Levi about!

Any predictions?
