[f/n]'s P.o.V.

"What?!" Me and Eren said in unison.

"B-but, Erwin!" Eren stammered out a bit agitated. Erwin turned to him with a questioning look.

"Whats wrong, Eren?" he asks then he turns to me "And also you, [f/n]. Whats the problem with that?" Erwin asks as he eyes us carefully.

"B-Boss Erwin, why does Eren has to be my partner in this project?" I asked him keeping my voice down as possible.

"Because you are one of my best workers in the company and has a great sense of leadership" Erwin says. I huffed. "Can't you just, change my partner?!" that's it, my voice rose. Erwin shot me a slight glare and I immediately closed my mouth.

I don't want Eren as my partner, It'll be just awkward around us. I can bear Hanji but, Eren? nope, nope, nope. But there's nothing I could do, if Boss Erwin decides it, its there.

I sat down back to my chair and avoided everyone's gaze. "Do you have a protest too, Eren?" Erwin's voice asked. I heard Eren click his tongue and muttered a 'no' and I heard shuffling sounds, saying that he sat on his chair.

I bought my head back up to look at Erwin.

"Alright, since [f/n] and Eren are the leaders, here are the workers who'll help in the project" Erwin's gaze dropped on the five workers to my right and I saw them stiffen a bit except for one.

"Hanji, Connie, Jean, Sasha and Mikasa, do your best in the collaboration project" Erwin said and all of them nodded altogether. "I want you all to do your best in impressing this big company in [y/f/c]. Make a big presentation. The workers and leaders for this projects, talk about this in [f/n]'s office after this meeting. Think of a topic. That's all, meeting, dismissed" Erwin finished and walked out of the room.

All heaved a heavy sigh as they relax their shoulders and slouch on their seats.

I think everything's gonna be alright...Eren won't be that bad, would he?

I turned to Eren and saw him talking to Audrey, whom I heard saying "Are you alright with this, Eren?" and Eren sighing and nodded to her while smiling.

At the corner of my eye, I saw Levi being nudged by Hanji. Then Levi stood up from his seat and walked up to me. He placed a hand on my tensed shoulders.

"Can you do it, [f/n]?" he asks me. I immediately knew that this is a part of the operation. I turned to him and smiled. "Don't worry, I can handle it" I said. 'I guess so...' I thought.

I sighed once again and stood up from my seat.

"Workers and Leader" I shot gaze at Eren, who looked back. "To my office, now" Levi wrapped his arm around my waist and I shuddered a bit at the sudden contact but relaxed after a few seconds, remembering this is a part of the plan.

I grabbed my binder and folders and walked out of the room with Levi's arm wrapped around my waist.

Eren's P.o.V.

I watched with the twisting feeling in my stomach as I look at Levi walk away with his arm wrapped around [f/n]'s waist. This is truly unacceptable.

((Lemongrab: UNACCEPTABLE!!! *punches computer screen* Me: Excuse him, readers *kicks out Lemongrab out of the room*))

"Hieee!~" I heard Hanji's squeal. I turned to her and she was fangirling.

"H-Hanji?" I called to her. She stopped and looked at me. "Yes?" she grinned like an idiot. "What are you fangirling about?" I asked her. "heehee, [sn/w/Levi]!"

[sn/w/Levi]? [f/n] and Levi.

Then I recalled what they used to call me and [f/n] before. [sn/w/Eren].

My stomach twitched again.

"C'mon! lets go to [f/n]'s office!" Sasha announced then I stood up with Audrey and got out of the room.

[f/n]'s P.o.V.

As me and Levi were about to part to our offices, Eren and Audrey came up behind us. I planned on saying goodbye to Levi but his plan was more bolder than anything.

He tightened his grip on my waist and he turned me around to face him. And then, as quickly as possible, he places a quick peck on my lips.

He lets go and I immediately turned away and walked to my office. I laced my fingers on my lips with my eyes wide.

Levi...kissed me

I know its all pretend but that's a very bold move, Levi just kissed me. The thought sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach as I opened the door to my office.

Eren's P.o.V.

As me and Audrey got out of the room, I saw Levi and [f/n] about to part ways, I watched them intently.

Levi pulled [f/n] close and placed a quick kiss on her lips.

My eyes grew wide and I felt something shatter inside me. [f/n] and Levi parted away and I think I saw [f/n] red as she walked to her office.

I immediately said goodbyes to Audrey and went to follow [f/n] to her office.

[f/n]'s P.o.V.

I closed the door behind me and I went to my desk and placed my stuffs there.

I let the thought of Levi kissing me melt away like butter in a heated pan and decided to focus on other important things more than that little kiss.

On cue, Eren, Mikasa, Jean, Sasha, Connie and Hanji entered the office. "So, [f/n], lets start!" Hanji grabbed a chair and plopped down on it after bringing it in front of my desk.

"Alright, get your computer chairs and put it in front of my desk" I said "And where am I sitting?" Eren spoke up. I looked at him and pulled my computer chair and placed it in front of my desk.

Eren sat on it and all of them faced me. Then Eren spoke up again "Let us be reminded that we shouldn't let our personal feelings butt-in in this project" he said.

"Oh, you mean, you and Audrey?" I said

"No, I meant, Levi's lips on yours" Eren countered.

"Why? are you jelly, Jaeger?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Our jobs does not include kisses, [f/n]" he fired back.

heh, he's really dodging the question.

"Let me ask you again," I narrowed my eyes at him "Are you jealous, Eren?"

"No" he said.

"Then lets continue" I clapped my hands.

I heard some sigh in the room since the tension between me and Eren tamed down.

"So..." I sat on my desk "In this project, we need a strong topic" I said. "Maybe, you could share some of your experiences or some stories you know and we could pick something out of it" I said.

There was a sudden moment of silence when suddenly, Mikasa raised her hand.

"Yes, Mikasa?" I turned to her. "I have a story" Mikasa said. "Alright, share it" I smiled at her.

Mikasa prompted on her seat. "There was this boy and girl" she continued " they have an unbreakable relationship" I listened to her intently. "But then, the girl mourned due to her family life"

Wait, this seemed familiar.

"She and the boy were slowly separated because of the girl's mourning" Mikasa continued "the boy missed the girl's warmth, and while the girl is away, he found this warmth from another girl"

No, no this is not the Eren and [f/n] story.

"And when the girl stopped mourning, she came back to the boy" Mikasa said "And then, she saw the boy in the presence of the other girl"

Something twitched in my stomach.

"The girl was broken and she went away, far away" everyone listened " As for the boy, he regretted in what he did"

Did he really?

"As their relationship is broken, and they are far away from each other, they had a change of heart. The two lovers came back for each other and the boy asks for forgiveness from the girl and she forgave him. And because of love and change the two lover's relationship became the most unbreakable as ever" Mikasa finished.

"That's all?" Connie broke the beautiful ending "my expectation is the girl would dump the boy, like what [f/n] did to Ere-" Connie was cut-off when Mikasa hits his stomach.

"O-ok that's enough" I tamed down the two "That was a nice story, Mikasa, What topic are you pointing out there?" I asked her.

"Change" Mikasa said. I paused for a while.

"A-ah, change" I sighed out. "We could make a mini movie presentation containing some pictures of the boy and girl and Mikasa's voice narrating the story she just told" Hanji said smiling "And at the same time, we are presenting endorsing our magazine saying that we aim for change" Hanji finished.

I smiled instantly "That's a great idea, Hanji! Alright, that's our project, any reactions? or suggestions to add?" I looked around and I saw Sasha nudging Jean, whom was saying something like 'no, Sasha'.

"Yes, Jean?" I eyed him and he stood up and then Sasha wore a winning grin as if they were debating on something.

"M-me and Sasha was wondering if..." Jean trailed off avoiding my eye.

"If?" I looked at him intently and he brought his head up and met my gaze.

"If you and Eren could be the boy and girl in our photo shoot. Y-you know, in the photos that we're gonna include in the presentation..." Jean finished.

I was speechless for a while and blinked, trying to process everything that he said. Then Hanji chimed in.

"That's right! I mean, their love story is close to yours! except, you guys didn't end up together" Hanji chuckled.

I pinched the bridge of my noes and sighed. There's no escaping here, I want to, but, I know I'm gonna agree sooner or later because of their persuasion. So I decided to just go with it.

"Fine" I said blankly, still pinching the bridge of my nose.

All of them cheered except for Mikasa, whom just smiled and Eren, who just slouched on his chair and pouted a bit, looking like a little kid.

I gotta admit, he looks adorable in that position.

I chuckled and got off the desk then walked up to him.

I pinched his nose between my index finger and middle finger and he flinched at the pain.

I removed my fingers from squeezing his nose and he immediately rubbed it and shot me a glare.

"What was that for?" he asks.

"Fix your face, Jaeger, no pouting here" I said with a tiny smile.

He shot me another glare and looked away and I just chuckled. I walked back to my place. And I swore I saw him smile a little.

"Alright, since tomorrow is day-off is tomorrow, we'll have the photo shooting and other stuffs regarding the project at my house, since we have a nice scenery at out backyard , It'll be a good background for the photo shoot. Meeting, dismissed" finished.

They all sighed and went to their desk while Hanji gave me a thumbs up and left the room.

When Eren stood up, I brought back my chair to its normal place behind the desk and I sat on it and started tapping my ballpen on my folders, letting my mind trail off to somewhere.

Then suddenly, Eren came by me and unexpectedly felt his fingers pinch my cheek.

"Focus on the project, [f/n]" Eren smiled at me and his fingers slipped away from my cheek as he left the room.

I was left there dumbfounded and a blush crept on my cheeks.

'Well, I think in all of the meetings, cupid was there giving me fluffy moments with Eren and Levi'
