"Mike...we shouldn't be doing this."
Erwin sighed, breaking away from the kiss

"You wanted to forget about him. This was your idea." Mike said calmly, a frown tugging at the corner of his mouth

"I didn't mean like this..."

"Well,",Mike turned away, "I've never been closer to everything I've ever wanted."
"But I guess....",he walked up slowly to the desk, taking a swig from the liquor glass, "I'm happy as long as you are"

Mike flashed a sad smile.
All Erwin could mutter out was a quick sorry.

He got up and sat down at his desk.
Paperwork was the only other thing he thought ought to distract him.

When he first got the position of Commander he carefully examined every single thing he signed. Now, it wasn't like that. Everything was eighter a list of casualties or something the government is making him sign.
Who knows, one day he might accidentally sign away his soul.
Not that it would even matter. His soul is already stained, painted dark with the essence of his sins.

It was essentially worthless now. There were times when the commander wanted to sell his soul away just to escape this living hell.

If he didn't have ambition and dreams, he thought, he would've been long gone.

Mike exited the room. Not bearing to see the sight of the big strong Commander drowning in his own sorrow.

*TIMESKIP TO MORNING IG*

He walked into the dining hall.
Levi was sitting there unusually early.

"Levi? What brings you here this early?" He knew it was Levi's day off

"What do you want, Erwin? I thought you didn't wanna talk. After all, you did stand me up yesterday. I guess you did something to clear your mind?...Or rather...someone?" Levi sarcastically chuckled

"How-"

"Oh I don't know, Erwin. Next time you probably shouldn't leave the door unlocked. I knocked, but I guess you didn't hear me. You were busy, after all." Levi lied

"What i do is none of your concern, Levi. You tell me that frequently. After all, I don't pry into your little affair with Jeager, Levi." The way Erwin spat out his name like it was a hot potato only frustrated Levi even more

"So be it. Do as you please, Erwin." Levi retaliated, rolling Erwin's name off his tongue like it's spoiled.

That's not what Levi wanted to say. He didn't want Erwin to do as he pleased. He wanted Erwin all to himself.

It was a weird feeling, something he had never felt before.

As Erwin noticed that the smaller man's arms were wrapped in bandage, he immediately shifted the topic.

"Levi."

"Yeah? You change your-"

"Where'd you get these cuts." Erwin grabbed Levi's hand, examining his wrist

"Wh-"

"Where'd you get these cuts."

"Traning." he lied

"They weren't here the last time I saw you. When you came into my room."

"Oh? So you do remember ditching m-"

"Where did you get them."

"Well, I don't know. Maybe if you ring a little bell I'll come running like a Pavlov dog." Levi sarcastically snarled, shrugging exaggeratedly
