It's a fine morning.

The lady fixes her blouse and her hair to look more presentable for the day, she was ready to take a step out of the women's restroom when suddenly her phone rings.

"Hello ?"

"Hey single pringle, it's me Rico. Why did you ignore my text yesterday ?"

(Y/n) laughs, "Oh, it's because yesterday I had to go to.. an event. Yeah, a long event that took place really far from my house. So I guess I was too tired to check if there were any messages."

"Don't tell me you forgot about the blind date that we talked about the other day !"

"No it's not like that, of course I remember."

"Anyway, goodluck. If you two end up getting married, you owe me a drink for three days."

Rico teased on the other line.

"Hey, it's just a blind date, you're taking it too far."

Even though she's talking over the phone, (Y/n)'s face held an annoyed look.

"Mhm.. yes, alright, byee." (Y/n) ends the call with a sigh before propping her arms on the sink in front of her.

"Oh my gosh, Ms. (L/n), you're going on a blind date ?"

The woman turns around in an instant to see a certain short, blue eyed blonde who looks happy, "you must be so nervous and excited !" Historia beams.

"H-historia.." (Y/n) curses herself for stuttering, "I'm kind of embarrassed about this. Can you keep this a secret, please ?"

The shorter girl nods excitedly like a five years old, "Mhm ! It's a secret !"

(Y/n) shushed her, putting her index finger to her lips and smiles nervously, nodding along with Historia.

"Of course, we'll keep it a secret."

The two shriek upon the sudden appearance of another employee in the women restroom.

"Leaking such information like this in a restroom is bad, (Y/n). You're considered lucky to be heard by only me and Historia." Mikasa then calmly added, "but I'm actually glad you're trying to go on a date." The grey eyed employee reveals a tiny smile.

Historia squeals, "My goodness, you were too busy to even dream about a blind date !"

"This is your first time, isn't it ?"

"Eh ?? first time on a blind date ??" the blonde gasps in surprise, "no way.. you have to take this chance to bid goodbye to being single all your life !"

Mikasa adjusts her scarf, "(Y/n), first blind dates can feel really awkward. If you need help getting out of such unwanted situation, call me and I'll give your date a good beating-"

"E-easy there, Mikasa. I'll be fine !" (Y/n) smiles as she stucks out her thumbs up.

----------- Later ------------

Her heels echoed inside Levi's clean spacious private office as a tray of tea was balanced on Historia's hand.

The newbie puts the tray on his table and bows before dismissing herself.

"What about my secretary ?"

Historia stops on her tracks, "Oh ? Should I join you for tea, sir ?"

"No. That's not what I meant, where is Ms. (Y/n) (L/n), and why are you brat here instead of her ? I'm asking about (Y/n) (L/n)'s whereabouts." He stated sharply.

She nods, "Ms. (L/n) said that delivering your daily tea is my work now, sir."

"I see. You better do a good job at making my damn tea."

Historia stood in front of Levi's desk, "I know I have a lot of catching up to do, so I'm going to work very hard from now on, looking up to Ms. (L/n) as my role model," a dreamy look is evident on her blue eyes, "I mean, when I heard that Ms. (L/n) is finally going on her first blind date because of work, I really reflected on myself, sir."

"I see-" Levi suddenly froze, "did you just say 'blind date' ?"

The poor girl instantly curses her blabbering habit, "Um..n-no ? I think you misheard something, s-sir."

....And that's how (Y/n)'s secret leaked to the vice president's ears..

---- In Hanji's Office ----

"Alright, so the meeting with the Illusion Hotel board has been set, and the Ripper Company Art Hall is all set to open, anddd........ your secretary is going on a blind date."

"How the fuck did you know that ?"

Hanji shrugs, "I sent my secretary to eavesdrop on some employees on the lobby cause I'm quite curious about some tiny ruckus this morning. Aah.. poor Moblit.."

"Tch.." Levi runs a hand through his perfect undercut, "how dare that brat go on a blind date after all I did for her."

The mad woman scattres her paperwork into the air, "Cheer up, Levi ! A couple will be born !"

"Explain yourself, four eyes."

"Isn't it obvious ? Her date is likely to be some average guy. Wasn't that what she's after ? To date and marry an avarage guy."

"..."

Hanji knows really well why her short friend suddenly becomes silent in this situation.

And it never ends with peace.

"You're planning to go after her aren't you, shorty....?"

-----After Work-----

'Awww I bet he's such a gentleman, keeping a lady waiting like this..' (Y/n)'s sarcastic side takes over her again.

She's still in her working clothes, standing alone in the open.

Waiting for her damn blind date, who seems to be blind enough to look at the time.

"Ms. (Y/n) (L/n) ?"

(Y/n) nearly stumbled on her own shoes when a hand tapped her shoulder, "uh.. yes ?"

"I recognized you right away from your photo on social media. I'm Floch Forster, your date for today." He bows. The man, too, is still in his work attires.

The woman holds back an urge to go agape, 'holy shit... this is my date ??? Not to mention, he's got weird ass hair.'

"O-oh, I see. Nice to meet you."

He straightens his tie, "You must be hungry. I did some research about this place, so let's go."

"Yeah sure."

Floch didn't even ask about what she wanted to eat and he wandered off on his own, with hands in his pockets. (Y/n) only let out a lopsided smile, giving in, and catching up to the man.

......A few minutes later....

The blind date couple found themselves sitting in a small, crowded food stalls.

"This place is supposed to be real good. 24 layers of meat, stacked together and deep fried and served in the authentic Japanese cutlet style. No wonder my friends recommend me to eat here.."

Floch rambles off as his hands are occupied by fork and knife, cutting the meat into pieces.

The woman sitting across from him forces a smile, "I see."

"Well then," (Y/n) was ready to jab her fork on the fried meat, "let's just dig in-"

"Hold up."

He switches his plate with hers, the one that he just cut up.

"Oh, you didn't need to do that haha... thank you." (Y/n) eyed the cut up meat before her.

For a split second, her mind darted off to the night she and Levi had a private dinner. He also did the same thing. Except that Floch's cutting skills is a bit messier than Levi's.

"I might put you off for saying this on our first meeting," Floch interrupted her thoughts, "but you really are beautiful, (Y/n)."

'..eh ?'

"You're very hot- I mean.. elegant. Yes ! Elegant !" He was quick to correct himself.

"T-thank you."

More customers come, filling the already cramped tiny restaurant. And to be honest, it makes (Y/n) more uncomfortable. Floch then leans forward just a little, to whisper something, "It's a bit noisy in here, isn't it ?"

"Yeah, it kind of is. But it's totally fine by me, really." (Y/n) laughs it off nervously.

-- Flashback --

"Don't give a shit about that. Besides, there's no one else here."

The secretary allows a small frown to appear on her face as she glances around, "you're right.. It's really just us two." She then calmly sips on a glass of water.

"Yes, because I rented out the place."

-- End of Flashback --

A sudden realization hit her.

'Why the hell do I keep comparing Floch with Mr. Ackerman and thinking about him..?'

She frowns.

At the end of the day, (Y/n) and Floch are still going with their blind date, this time, inside a coffee shop, which is far better than the previous place.

"The coffee's really good here, right ?" Floch sips the beverage, "I clicked away so many times to find this place, you know."

"I see. Well it's good, the aroma's really fragrant-"

"Wait."

"Huh ?"

Floch leans forward to (Y/n)'s seat across from him, "I think there's something near your ears.."

"Here ?"

"No, under the earlobe."

"Here ?"

"No, just turn 45 degrees, and.. up a bit more, ah yes there it is."

She brushes her hair back, "Is there a mirror here ? I need-"

"No no, excuse me for a sec, (Y/n)." With that, Floch stood from his seat and reaches out his hand to her face, her ears to be exact.

"Ah, it's just a dried leaf !" He smiled.

---- Time skip ----

"Thank you for today, I really enjoyed it-" Floch was quickly interrupted by the look on (Y/n)'s face as she inches closer towards his chest.

"Oh.." she mumbled.

The next thing he knew, the woman's delicate hands are already busy fixing his necktie.

(Y/n) mumbles an apology, "I'm sorry, it's a habit from my job.."

Her hands haven't leave his tie, and it's still on his chest...

"

The woman knew that voice everywhere.

Turning around, she sees the one and only vice president Levi Ackerman himself with a completely pissed face. Scowling at her.

"M-Mr. Ackerman !" she gasped.

Out of shock, (Y/n)'s hands tightened Floch's tie, squeezing the air out of the confused man in the process.

"OH FUCK I'M SO SORRY !!" The secretary loosened Floch's tie while apologizing once again. She bid Floch a goodbye before strutting quickly to her angered boss. Floch, on the other hand, had ran away from the scene like a dog with a tail between its legs.

Shortly after that, (Y/n) found herself walking with the vice president. Once in a while, he would huff and turn his head to the side. The secretary could swear that she saw Levi pouting for a split second.

"Um, sir, may I know why-"

"(L/n)." Levi inhaled. He didn't use any honorifics, which indicates something bad..

"Yes sir ?"

"I'm truly fucking disappointed in you."
