#blondescout

Expeditions outside the wall were stressful for everyone. Levi more than anyone, even if he kept any doubt and insecurities well hidden. There were always casualties and being in command, a good amount of those lives lost weight heavily on his shoulders and overwhelmed his conscience. Because yes, Levi Ackerman had a heart and a soul though many would beg to differ.

The first twenty four hours outside the wall went surprisingly well. They ran into several abnormal but nothing his Squad couldn’t take care of in a matter of minutes.

           ‘ THE  SCOUTS  ARE  FULL  OF  SHIT!!  ’

               the beginnings of a brawl reach the captain’s ears.     typical,  he thinks;  it’s the  MILITARY  POLICE,  drunk  && stupid,  ambling around the pub like they’re the greatest thing since fucking  BLACK  TEA.     but levi knows better.     hell,  MOST  PEOPLE  do.     especially the scouts.

               were it not for erwin’s insistence that he go out  &&  BE  SOCIAL  FOR  ONCE,  levi would duck out  && allow the fight to escalate.     it’s  not  his  fucking  problem.     people can talk all the shit that they want about the survey corps:   it doesn’t change their importance,  or the fact that they will continue to look at the world that exists outside of the walls.

               he’s making for the door when one of the bastards says something that makes levi’s blood turn to  ICE.

          ‘  you’ve  got  a  real  pretty  face  for  a  scout.     bet  you  treat  your  higher - ups   REAL NICE,  don’tcha  beautiful?     you  sellin’  yourself  to  the   COMMANDER   for  somethin’  extra?  ’

               the captain turns sharply on his heel,  startling the group of civilians gawking over him;   they give him a wide berth as he stalks across the pub,  murder in his knife - sharp eyes.     the pair of slovenly m.p.s are crowding one of his soldiers against the bar,   && it isn’t that he thinks she can’t  TAKE  THEM  or anything:   he’s  just  sick  of  their  stupid  voices  &&  their  stupid  asinine  comments.

               one of the men reaches out to touch her,  but levi catches his wrist.     both men startle a bit,  swaying as they turn to stare at him with glassy,  drunken eyes.     ‘  hey,  what  the  hell–?  ’

               the captain slides between the two m.p.s  && the petite scout,  her breath tickling the short hairs of his undercut.     she’s either afraid or  LIVID  PISSED,   && levi honestly wouldn’t blame her for feeling either.     he can’t sit idly by anymore.      his history with the military police aside,  THIS  HAS  GONE  FAR  ENOUGH.

Bakugo frowned as he leaned back in his chair slightly and glanced to one side, All Might had gone out and apparently had personally requested some girl be enrolled into the hero course. He was sure the pro-hero had a reason for this but he really couldn't care less, wasn’t his business anyway. 1-A now had an extra student in its class and before everyone in the dorm left for classes she was introduced to everyone, save for Bakugo.

The hot-headed blonde had his hands stuffed into his pockets and shot her a small glare as he walked over, he could sense she was slightly uncomfortable with the big group fawning over her like that so he waited until he could introduce himself alone. “Katsuki Bakugo.”

                               a new person was joining the scouts today.   how casually the commander had mentioned it in passing as he’d been walking through the halls of the HQ this morning.   perhaps Levi shouldn’t question it but he was fairly certain the latest batch of cadets weren’t done with training yet so where the hell had this new scout come from ??
