"What have I gotten myself into?..." You spoke the phrase only to have it reach deaf ears, true you had always wanted to work on the set of a movie or t.v show but this. This was going to be a nightmare. People shouting at crew members high in rafters, businessmen and women shouting into phones about where food was and who was where and why they weren't somewhere else. People running about trying to make things perfect for the newest hit show. What show would that be? You guessed it! Attack on Titan.

Now what part did little old you have to play? As for now, and because it was your first day, you were just a student taking an internship for the next year on the set of the show. Trying not to get run over by the professionals trying to make things perfect for the director, and the creator of the show himself (though he never seemed to be around much, mostly because he had a lot of writing to do). You started off towards someone in odd clothing, they didn't seem to be doing any thing so they were the best canidate, "Uh... Hi. My name is (y/n) and I'm the new intern." The person turned around, it was a guy about 5' 6" or 5' 7" with Caribbean green eyes and messy brown hair, he wore a brown leather half jacket with winged patches and a white button up shirt, white jeans and knee high brown boots, "Hey there. I'm Eren. I'm probably not the person you needed to find, but I'll be happy to help you find them!" He said with a bright smile. 'Ahh so this is the big superstar of the show? He seems really nice!' you thought to yourself, "S-sorry, it's my first day here... If you need to be on set I can find my own way." You said a bit timidly, rule one in show biz (whether unspoken or in the rulebooks), NEVER do anything to hinder the progress of a show, and if it meant getting a tour from the main character after filming then so be it.

"Are you sure? It's kind of easy to get lost here." he said, the grin still on his face, "Positive, you're a busy guy and I'd rather not cause trouble." You said and started off. Eren watched you leave and chuckled to himself before being called to set. Now where could the director be? The very phrase replayed in your brain like a broken record. Finally you found a man who looked the directory type, you tapped on his shoulder "Excuse me sir, are you the director?" You asked quietly, he turned around with an annoyed look on his face and a walkie talkie to his ear, "Why do you have the walkie talkie? You're supposed to be on set! You know what? Never mind. Put it down and get over here now!" He calmly commanded, his voice hiding the frustration he had on his face, he looked at you and put the radio device down, "Yes. I'm the Director, I'm not buying Girl Scout cookies if that's what you're wanting." He said frustrated, you shook your head, "I'm not with the Scouts. I'm the student intern you called for." You replied, the man looked a little relieved, "Ah, so you're (y/n), huh? Bet this wasn't what you expected. In any case I need you to find Hanji. She's about 5' 8" with tied up brown hair and glasses, odds are she's in the actors lounge area but I need her here, find her and I'll give you your next task." you nodded, you (h/c) (h/l) hair bouncing as you did. The director gave you the direction of where the lounge area was and you set off in search of your target.

Knock knock. Your fingers grabbed the cool shiny doorknob as you opened the door, revealing a fairly large room that had couches and snacks and all kinds of cool lounge room things around. "Hello? Is Hanji in here?" You asked and stepped cautiously in, so far the room was empty and almost silent, soft snores could be heard from one corner. The light switch on the nearby wall was one that had a dial used for making the lights at any dimness or brightness the user wanted, right now it was set at a dimmer setting so it was a bit difficult to see but you could still make your way in. You cautiously made your way in and walked over to the sounds in the corner, the owner of the noise didn't match Hanji's description at all, much to your displeasure. First it was a male, Hanji's a girl. Second, the guy had short black hair and not tied up brown. Third, you tried to guess his height but since he was curled up it was hard to tell but he seemed pretty short. You sighed quietly, you didn't want to disturb the sleeping male, you turned on your heel and started walking towards the door when you ran smack into someone, knocking you and your victim both on your backsides. "Oof! Owchie..." The person said and rubbed their forehead. You looked up to see a glasses wearing, brown haired tied up, around 5' 7" woman, could this be Hanji? She seemed to wear the same outfit as most of the other actors, and Sleeping Beauty off in the lounge. "M-my apologies! I-I wasn't paying attention!" You stammered and groaned internally, the girl looked at you with curious brown eyes, "Don't worry about it! I was just looking for Shorty!" She said with a mischievous grin, you looked at her and decided not to say anything about it, "O-ok ma'am... Might I ask if you've seen Hanji around here?" You said quietly, she grinned, "As a matter of fact I do! She's me!" She said, you facepalmed, "Sorry. It's my first day here and I don't know many people here..." You groaned. She laughed and stood up, "Don't worry about it! Now what did you need-?" She asked and held out a hand and helped you, "(y/n)... Thanks... The Director wanted you. He asked me to bring you over to him." You said, "Alrighty! I can go bug Shorty later. Lead the way!"

The two of you walked back and talked the way there, Hanji seemed like a very nice person, you figured the actors and actresses would be snobby or stuck up but thankfully you were wrong, so far the two you found seemed very humble and nice to everyone. Except the one you found sleeping, you couldn't really judge his character yet. When you reached the Director you tapped him on the shoulder, "Excuse me sir. I found Hanji!" You said with a hint of pride in your voice, first mission completed! He turned around, "Ah! Good! Hanji where were you? I told you to stay on set!" She grinned sheepishly, "I got thirsty, I went to get some water from the lounge area when I bumped into (y/n) here! I almost spilled my drink on her!" she said chuckling, she secretly nudged your side to say 'play along!' You nodded and looked at the superior, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright. (y/n) I need you to type this packet up, the translator didn't have enough time and you're the first person I can find. Take my laptop and type it on there, I'll print it out later." He said and handed you the supplies needed, you nodded and after saying bye to Hanji you left to go to the lounge, hopefully the sleeping guy in there wouldn't mind some quiet company.

When you made it there you opened the door and heard the familiar soft snoring, who ever this guy was he must have been exhausted. You sat down and powered up the laptop, you opened the packet, you decided to put in headphones since the quiet was kind of unnerving. Tick tick tick, tack tack tack, your fingers sped across the keyboard and you began typing the script. All of a sudden you felt an odd sensation of being watched, maybe the guy woke up? You looked up to see a pair of stormy eyes watching you, a mouth was moving but you heard no sound. You took out a headphone and he rubbed an eye, "Who are you?" He asked, his voice was surprisingly deep to you, "M-my name is (y/n) sir!" You said, he frowned at the sound of the formality, "Don't call me sir. My name is Levi. What are you doing here?" He asked, 'Geez kind of demanding...' You thought idly, "The director asked me to type this script since the translator didn't have the time." You explained, he rubbed his other eye and yawned again, "Alright. I'm guessing this is your first day here?" He asked, "Yes. Are you ok? You seem exausted." He nodded, "I've been filming a lot recently and have had to stay up very late for the past few days, I still have to be on set but the director said I could take a nap." He said, "Sorry if I woke you up." He stretched and leaned back and closed his eyes, "You didn't. I've been asleep for a while. I just woke up naturally." He replied. You nodded and put a headphone back in an began working again, 'Well he seems pleasant at least, a bit harsh but not too bad.' You thought and kept working.

Levi had gone back to sleep and before you knew it three hours had passed and you had finished typing, you stretched your hand and looked at the sleeping male. You gathered your things and went over to him and gently shook him, the familiar steely orbs appearing under his eyelids, "Hey, it's like, 3:45. I figure you might want to know." He nodded and stretched again, "Damn... I slept too long..." He mumbled and looked at all you were carrying, "You finished?" You nodded, "I'm heading back to the Director now to give him this. You can come with me if you want." You said, he sat up, "Sure." He said simply and stood, the hunch you had earlier was right, Levi was only about 5' 3". You didn't say anything but figured this was the Shorty that Hanji was going to find. The two of you idly chatted on the way back, when you found the director you gave him the laptop and script. Afterwards, he dismissed everyone home to go home so he could review said script. Hanji found you and was delighted to see Levi with you, "(Y/N)!" She yelled excitedly and bounced up to you, "Hi Hanji!" You said back, you turned to see Levi rubbing his temples, "Hey! Come with me! I want you to meet all of us so you'll know who we are!" She said and grabbed yours and Levi's hands, "You're coming too, Shorty!" She said and dragged the two of you towards the set.

This was going to be interesting...
