I placed the earbuds and her phone on her nightstand and tried to go to sleep...
-Mikasa's POV-
I woke up feeling a bit drowsy, oh who am I kidding I was a lot drowsy. Today was Alice in Wonderland day at work to celebrate national Fictional world day. I swear they have a national day for everything. (Did I just make up a holiday? Yes, yes I did) I got up and looked to my right to see that Levi wasn't there like usual. I ignored it and went to the bathroom. I sighed, I had a bit of bed hair, my hair had gotten longer since I was in the Survey corps. But even so it was still fairly medium length but I still had a heavy case of bed hair.
I prefer medium/short hair because it's less of a hassle to brush and it doesn't get tangles often. That's a complete and utter LIE. I sighed and got into the shower and put on a song from my phone. If I get bed hair usually I just brush my fingers through it and leave it, cause what am I gonna do about it? Just feel dusty that day that's what. Recently a song had turned really popular, it was called WAP. It was a song about sex, I'm not even gonna deny it.
I'm not gonna lie, it slaps. The dance that goes along with it isn't half bad either. Unfortunately I'm prude as fuck. I got out of the shower and dried off, I wrapped a towel around me and stepped out. I peeked out the door, alright the coast was clear. I heard a knock on the door and replied "Coming!" I opened the door a crack to see who it was. It was Hange and Sasha. Hange burst through the door as soon as I opened it. "Ok then, what's going on?" I asked. "We were just bored, so we wanted to ask if you wanted to go out today. Also me and Hange volunteered to get the costumes for your Alice in Wonderland thing today!" Sasha replied.
"Ah,of course you did" I said taking out a roll of athletic tape. I dropped the towel around me and started to roll the tape around my upper torso. "Mikasa, you still use that shit?" Sasha asked. "I mean bras aren't exactly comfortable so yeah" I replied. In the Survey corps we used athletic tape in exchange for bras. Old habits die hard I guess, "I almost pulled out a nipple thanks to those" Sasha commented. I chuckles slightly, I remembered that memory.
"Alright what should I wear oh great fashion lord" I mocked. Sasha came to my closet in 0.2 seconds and started scanning through my closet. She put a finger to her chin and continued scanning. She then reached in and grabbed a black cropped blouse with buttons and white jeans that had clips attached to it. She then threw it at me then reached to the tons of jewelry Hange got me for my birthday last year and the new ones I got shopping with them. She took out a black choker with a gold rhombus shaped jewel on it with emerald color within the gold outline and a thigh ring. She also got a gold bracelet last second and headed over to my direction. I had by then finished changing into the outfit. Sasha handed me the accessories and I had put them on.
I had to say she had hella good taste in clothing, especially because she knew what I liked. I decided to add a finishing touch with my mother's earrings. I looked into the mirror, "Damn this looks so damn extra...I love it". "You look mighty fine Mikasa!!" Hange exclaimed. Sasha jumped up and down, "Hange, if I could-" Sasha started. "You may!" Hange cut her off. They ran off out of my dorm again. I slipped on my black platform boots and walked to my nightstand.
I got onto my phone, and texted Levi.
Annoying brat: Where are you?
Captain shorty: At your workplace
Annoying brat: Why?
Captain shorty: I just came to drink some tea brat
Annoying brat: Alright well if you're still there then I'll see you in like two hours
I then logged off my phone.
Hange and Sasha came back "We're ready!". I nodded at them and got my dorm key, phone, and wallet. We walked out of the school and headed to town. We got to a cosplay store, the roles have already been decided. I would be Alice, Christa is the white queen, Annie is the red queen, the manager would be the mad hatter. We need someone to be the white rabbit, so of course I made Levi the white rabbit. Just a little surprise and a favor for Hanji.
We went to see the Alice in Wonderland costumes and found a few cute ones to purchase. For the Alice costume we found a dark blue dress with a white, frilly apron over it with striped stocking and a blue and white choker to match the dress and a pair of black fingerless gloves.
The white queen was a cold shoulder white dress with lace and a lot of details. The outfit came with matching accessories like a necklace, crown, and gloves. The red queen had a red corset with gold strings tying up at the front. The long skirt below that was the same shade of red with black striped leading to the bottom of the dress. It came with a crown, black gloves, and a staff with a mini crown on it.
For the mad hatter there was a black shirt with a white blazer on top and a matching white pleated skirt. All over the outfit were pink, purple, green, and gold details and accessories.
Lastly the white rabbit we had to improvise with a butler like outfit. It had a typical black tailor coat with a white blouse underneath and a black tie with a brown vest covering the blouse. The pants were a simple black color. We purchased them all and made our way to the maid cafe before it opened in about 15 minutes.
"Mikasa!! I've heard about what happened the night before! Are you ok?!" Christa exclaimed, "Oh yeah, it was nothing I'm ok Christa, thank you" I replied. She gave a sweet smile, "Oh yeah we bought the costumes" I said as I gave her, her costume. "Oh ok!" she replied and ran off the change. "I should change too" I said looking back at Sasha and Hange. "Ackerman, there you are. Mind telling me why I was signed up to be the white rabbit today?" he asked with an obvious annoyed tone in his voice.
"You just have to serve people their food, you don't have to take their order just give them their food. There were no white bunny costumes so we got you a butler costume with some white bunny ears." I explained. "Why was I not questioned for this?" Levi asked, "Because I like pissing you off" I replied while getting my costume and walking to the changing rooms. Levi scoffed, "You naughty little prick" a smirk coming on his face. "I can't be the only one sensing the chemistry here right?" Annie whispered to Christa. "Nope" Christa whispered back.
The end of my lips tugged up as I saw how pissed he was. I changed into the dress and quickly ran my fingers through my hair and stepped out. I officially am used to the costumes and servants at the maid cafe.
I saw Christa checking out her white queen costume and Annie walking toward the changing rooms, and Levi nowhere to be found. "Alright do I look ok?" I asked. "You look adorable!" Hange exclaimed, I gave a satisfied look and walked out, "Alright I'll see you later!" I said behind my shoulder before walking out.
There were already a few people outside waiting to get in. I unlocked the door and opened the door. "Welcome back masters and m'ladies" I said smiling. 2 couples walked in and sat down. I handed them 4 menus and waited for them. "Do you have any specials?" a lady with blonde hair asked. I tried to remember the menu for today and answered "Well today we have 'Eat Me' macarons, teacup cupcakes, playing card cookies, topsy turvy cake, down the rabbit hole cupcakes for specials but on the regular menu we also have growing cranberry hibiscus tea, shrinking black tea, pocket watch tea cakes, queen of heart cake pops, queen of heart cookies, and cheshire cat cake pops." I recited.
"I see, thank you!" said the woman. I nodded and gave a small smile, they soon ordered a slice of topsy turvy cake, "Eat me" macarons, playing card cookies, pocket watch tea cakes, 3 growing cranberry hibiscus tea, and one shrinking black tea with lemon. I went on my way to give their order to the chefs while Christa and Annie went to get the orders for the other customers who came in.
I get to the kitchen window when I see a familiar figure with tall ears on top of his head.."Levi!?" I exclaim. "You're supposed to be giving food not making food." I remind him. "Well one of the chefs were sick today and I decided to fill in for them." he replied. The one day I get to piss him off more than usual he gets to fill in for someone else, god. "Fine anyway here's the order" I said as I laid the paper on the window sill.
Levi approaches the paper and looks back at me, I had to admit he was attractive. Perspiration glistening on his forehead and he looked classy as a butler. I felt heat rising to my cheeks, god damnit. He then reached up to his head and back to mine. I felt a headband wrapping around my head. I look up and see bunny ears dangling from my head, "He-" I started, "It's getting in the way of my cooking, so you wear it. It looks cute on you anyway." he said cutting her off.
I was speechless, I slammed my hand down on my mouth. I remained silent after. I continued on working and serving meals. It was finally my breaktime when I could get some macarons and settle down. Levi soon came into the breakroom as well. "Ackerman, are you prepared for the sports festival tomorrow?" he asked. I lifted my head up, the sports festival was indeed tomorrow. It's where different class compete for some big prize. Unfortunately not a lot of people wanted to participate and only the soccer club, boxing club, basketball club, and a few other people wanted to join. So me, Levi, Hange, and Sasha were somewhat begged into it one day.
There were 4 events, 100 meter race, Martial arts fight, obstacle course, and the cosplay race. I decided to participate in every event so my team could win. I'm not gonna let them down just because I wasn't interested.
-Time skip-
My shift was finally over at 8:30pm, we decided to head back to our dorms since we all needed to rest for tomorrow. "Hey Levi" I started, "Hm?" he replied. "Are you sick?" I asked him, a smirk found his way onto his face. "Tch, why do you think that brat?" he asked, "I don't know you just seem a bit weird today." I answered. "No, I'm not sick but I'll tell you this brat. You need to stop entering my head." he replied. I felt my face get hot, he chuckled a bit and poked my cheek. "When did you turn so adorable.." he muttered. I felt my face get even hotter, I raised my arm and thrust it in his direction.
I felt something warm on the other end of my fist. I look up and see his hand blocking my fist. I take back my hand, "Sweet jesus you're definitely sick in the head." I say and then leave. I reach my wardrobe and get my pajamas. I quickly get into the bathroom and stare into the mirror looking at my red cheeks. I then change into my clothes and step out. Levi was on his bed reading with glasses. I never knew he wore glasses, I walked over to my bed and went to sleep. What a tiring day...
