“Is that it for the report?” Erwin asks, azure hues lifting from the paper he’d been writing Levi’s summary down on.

The Captain nods, uncrossing his arms as he responds to the blond. “Mn. Why, didn’t reach your word count?” he jokes, tone flat despite the playfulness of his words.

Levi’s response gains a quiet chuckle from the Commander, setting down his quill as he straights up in his seat. “You’re dismissed.”

Levi pauses for a beat, before turning to leave—albeit hesitantly.

Noticing the reluctance in the raven-haired male’s posture as he turns to leave, Erwin arches a thick brow. “..Unless there’s more you’d like to discuss?” he inquires, regaining Levi’s attention in the process.

Levi halts, turning on his heal to face the Commander again as he responds a little too quickly. “Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?”

The blond perks up slightly at the question, hesitating—which causes Levi to raise his eyebrows at him, edging him to continue. With a sigh, Erwin caves and speaks up. “Are you aware of the rumors buzzing around the regiment?”

Levi gives Erwin a slightly skeptical look, pausing momentarily to think. “..Someone sleep with someone’s little boyfriend?” he jokes flatly.

“Rumors about me.” Erwin interjects, looking slightly unamused.

The Captain arches a brow, crossing his arms once more as grey eyes bore into blue. “You sleep with someone’s little boyfriend?” he once again quips, albeit a bit crudely.

“Me and you, Levi.” The Commander corrects, expression still calm as he stares at the shorter male who adverts his gaze from the response.
