Captain Levi Ackerman is a close friend of yours and your colleague. Your friendship with him has always been a subject of many rumours and gossips, as no one expected captain to tolerate anybody, nor expected anyone could tolerate him.

Yet, wherever you go - here he is, standing silently by your side. No questions asked.

As the two of you were having tea in the common room, a soldier entered with a message from commander, handing you the invitations for the ball, a celebration of the Queen Historia's five years reign. After some bargaining, pleading and, perhaps, some manipulating, Captain agreed to take you to the ball.

Levi hates formal events, there are too many people, too much fake smiles and pleasantries, everyone speaks in a fake and shallow manner, in a way that makes him uncomfortable. But there is something that makes this night bearable - You.

Before entering the ballroom, Levi turns to you.

"Are you sure you want to attend this charade tonight? It's not too late to retreat."
