Take off

Levi wakes up in a bad mood in a morning, reviving the news about having to substitute uncle Kenny in a business meeting trip. He's only contentment is he will be flying with Hange Zoë.

Levi Ackerman sat in the plush leather seat of his private plane, his sharp eyes scanning the documents spread out before him. As the CEO of a prestigious cosmetics company, his days were often filled with back-to-back meetings, negotiations, and endless paperwork. Today was no different, as he prepared to meet with potential business partners in a crucial deal.

The low hum of the plane's engines filled the air, and Levi glanced up as Hange Zoe, the skilled and determined pilot, entered the cabin. Her confident stride and easy smile never failed to capture his attention. He couldn't help but admire her unwavering dedication to her job, despite the discrimination she had faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry.

As the plane took off, Levi's thoughts drifted to Hange. He had always been drawn to her, captivated by her strength and independence. But he was also painfully aware of the unspoken tension that lingered between them, a barrier that neither of them dared to breach. His fingers tapped restlessly on the armrest, a silent manifestation of the turmoil within him.

Beside him, Erwin Smith, his friend and lawyer, leaned back in his seat with a sly grin. "You seem rather tense, Levi. Is it the upcoming meeting, or perhaps the company of our esteemed pilot?" he teased, his eyes glinting with mischief. Levi scowled, knowing full well that Erwin's playful remarks were meant to rile him up. He clenched his jaw, refusing to dignify the comment with a response. Deep down, he couldn't deny the truth in Erwin's words, but he was determined to keep his feelings hidden, even from himself.

During the flight, Levi has a chance to enter the cockpit curious some engine difficulty. He and Hange get close and start to steal touches and flirt, being interrupted by Erwin

As the plane cruised through the sky, Levi found himself drawn to the cockpit, a rare opportunity to escape the confines of his thoughts and immerse himself in the mechanical intricacies of the aircraft. Hange greeted him with a warm smile, her hands deftly navigating the controls with practiced ease. As they discussed the minor engine difficulty, their proximity grew, and Levi felt a surge of exhilaration at being so close to her.

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, punctuated by shared laughter and stolen glances that spoke volumes. In the intimate space of the cockpit, the barriers between them seemed to fade away, and for a fleeting moment, they allowed themselves to indulge in the unspoken attraction that simmered beneath the surface.

Just as the tension between them reached a palpable crescendo, Erwin's voice cut through the air, breaking the spell. He sauntered into the cockpit with an infuriating smirk, his eyes flickering between Levi and Hange. "Am I interrupting something, or should I come back later?" he quipped, his tone laced with amusement. Levi's jaw clenched, his frustration mounting at Erwin's intrusion. Hange's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly composed herself, returning her focus to the controls.

Levi shot Erwin a withering glare, his irritation bubbling to the surface. He bristled at the thought of Erwin encroaching on this rare moment of connection, knowing all too well that his friend reveled in provoking him. With a curt nod to Hange, he reluctantly retreated from the cockpit, the weight of unspoken words lingering in the air.
