The annual military ball... It was coming up too quickly for Levi's comfort. Every attendee was expected to bring along a partner, that was the part he dreaded the most. In a world full of titans, it bothered him how he had to find a partner and dance for a night when he could be doing more practical things. Like cleaning his office for the third time today.

He had thought of many different people to bring along. Some were too annoying, some were too friendly, some were too talkative... None fit his standards, even for one night. So he picked the most tolerable one of the bunch. You.

You were nowhere near perfect, yet he knew expecting perfection was too high of a standard. You were the best option he had. That's why he approached you after training one day.

You were sweaty and not in your best looking state. You had just got done with a 4 hour training session. You had sat on a bench to drink some water when your captain, Levi, sat next to you.

"I need to speak with you."
