Author's note: Hey guys, guess who's back from the dead!

Yeah, so, sorry about that weird hiatus that happened. I had lost the original written copy of chapter five and I didn't feel like writing from memory. I'm really sorry about that and I hope that my writing has at least improved a bit. By the way, I do plan to finish this story but it will take a bit of time cause I'm a senior in a couple weeks so... moving on! I hope you enjoy ( to those that read it ) what I have even if it might be a bit short. Also, I don't own anything except the plot that's being written and Annie is now in the Survey Corps cause I can do that and Mikasa needed a partner and potential love interest. Have fun!

The next day entitled an even worse exercise.

"Alright kiddos," Hanji yelled. "Time to do another exercise! This time we have our great Lance Corporal joining us on Commander Erwin's order. Isn't that swell!"

Hanji kept exclaiming how Levi was now included, even by force, in the trust exercise from then on out.

"Okay, the exercise today is a bit different, but first I'll call out the pairs. Reiner and Bert, Ymir and Christa, Sasha and Connie, Mikasa and Annie, Jean and Armin, and Eren with Levi. Get into your pairs and I'll tell you what to do after."

Everyone went to their person; some looked excited while others… not so much

"Now, switch clothes."

A wave of silence overcame the squad, a smiling Hanji still ecstatic about the whole deal. No one moved and absolutely no one switched their clothes.

"What are you all waiting for?" Hanji asked, " Oh wait, I know why it is! Alright guys, I'm turning around…" Hanji then turned and sat with her back toward the group.

Shuffling was heard on one end of the field, that of Ymir and Reiner. Their partners weren't completely shocked but just as Ymir stripped to her undergarments, Christa immediately complied and followed suit. Reiner only had to take off his shirt; Bert took off his jacket just to hide Reiner's stomach.

Hanji smiled at the sound of a few people complying and hummed a small song to herself.

"Hanji, I am not doing this." Levi proclaimed.

Hanji pouted, getting closer to the short captain, and replying, "But if you don't participate then a little birdie is going to tell Erwin that favorite subordinate is being a bad boy, and get sent to 'that' place."

"You wouldn't dare, remember what happen last time," He said, glaring at the woman.

Hanji smiled, " Try me…"

Everyone else had stated to back away from the tension that had been building up between the two superiors, hoping that they'd be far enough from the blast range. To their surprise, Levi let out a huff and began walking to his partner, signaling his loss.

"Alrighty then, now that mister grouch is finally acting like he should, let's continue with this exciting exercise and since most of you are a bit shy, try to find a piece of the field to switch the clothing," Hanji said, a smile painted across her face while eyeing Levi to make sure he was also following the rules.

Levi signaled Eren to move away from the crowd so they could find their own corner to change, as well as give themselves a bit of privacy.

"Um, Captain?"

Levi looked backed at Eren, his eyebrow twitching from the strain to keep himself under control, "What is it."

Eren, being the idiot that he is, asked the stupidest question he could, "Are my clothes going to fit you?"

"What are you trying to suggest, hmm, you reckless child…" Levi began tapping his foot in frustration at the posed question.

"I…um... never mind, it's a stupid question. Can we just change now?"

Levi stared at Eren, making him uncomfortable from the intensity of it and it didn't help that he was crushing on the man.

"Are you trying to order a superior, hn, Jaeger?" Levi walked up to him, making himself seem tall in Eren's eyes, "Watch your place, you piece of filth,"

Eren nodded in response, convinced that should he open his mouth he'd end up in a coma.

Both Levi and Eren began to undress, never noticing that Hanji was keeping a close eye on them. As Levi handed his clothes to his partner for the day, another pair in the distance were also making the exchange.

Jean was frustrated, to say the least. He had seen how farthest pair, knowing that they were Eren and Levi, had interacted and caused a form of anger to start boiling. He stayed in this trace or sorts, only to be poked out of it by a pair of clothing shoved in his face. He looked down to see that Armin has already gotten out of his own clothing, waiting for Jean to do the same.

"Sorry." Jean said as he began to unbutton his shirt.

Armin gave him a weak smile.

Jean finished getting his clothes off of him and handed them to the smaller teen next to him. The atmosphere to strange and awkward, neither of them having to say anything.

"So, how have you been Jean?" Armin asked, not looking up from the long pair of pants he was trying to adjust.

"Not bad, I mean, you saw me yesterday." Jean replied, struggling to get in his set of pants.

Armin chuckled, " Yeah that's true but I didn't see you with a black eye yesterday."

Jean quickly covered his right eye, forgetting about the incident that had occurred the previous night. He gave a nervous laugh before he spoke, "Yeah, forgot about this thing."

Armin looked at him in disbelief, noting how awkward Jean had reacted to his observation.

"Did you have a spat with Eren again?" He asked, finishing putting the buttons of the pants.

"Kind of but can we just finish changing, I'm getting a bit hungry."

Armin decided to drop the subject for now, speeding up the rate that he was changing at.

About everyone was doing the same as they were noticing that they hadn't had any meals yet.

Unfortunately, Hanji had also decided that she would tell the group the little catch about this exercise.

"HEY GUYS!"

All the recruits, and one reluctant captain, shifted themselves to listen to Hanji.

"Thanks. So I forgot to mention something about this little exercise, and some of you might be happy and some might not. The catch for this exercise is that you have to WEAR YOUR PARTNER'S OUTFIT ALL DAY!" Hanji immediately made a beeline for the mess hall, not wanting to get shouted at for 'forgetting' such an important detail.

A loud 'WHAT' could be heard throughout the area, along with two very distinct shouts of what can be described as pain.
