The Struggles of Kenny Ackerman

New Friends

"Levi, I see that you made a new friend," Kenny smiled proudly at his small nephew.

"She is not my friend!" The raven exclaimed while he struggled to remove the female Beta that was hugging him.

Kenny didn't expect this. He was going to pick up his dear nephew as usual from school but this time around, Levi was running towards him in panic, right behind him was Beta in his age.

She wore glasses, hair tied up in a ponytail and she had a mini lab coat on with pins saying: "I'm going to be a doctor", "Dr. Hange Zoe", and "Best Doctor in the World". She was squealing loudly and easily captured the raven in her arms.

"I can see that." Kenny humored.

"Mr. Ackerman!" Petra Ral, one of his nephew's Omega classmate approached him. Her short strawberry blonde hair was adorned with small clips and was arranged in the order of a rainbow. She pointed at the Beta that was hugging the little raven. "Levi is a hero! He saved the new student from the bullies that were from another class!"

"Wow, that's amazing Levi! I'm proud of you!"

Levi smiled from his uncle's praise but immediately his face turned sour as he focused on removing the Beta's arms around him.

"My name is Hange Zoe, Mr. Ackerman. And I love Levi!" The Beta squeals.

"Nice to meet you Hange." Kenny chuckled.

Levi wasn't able to fully remove the Beta's hands around him when another set of arms wrapped around him.

"I love Levi too! He's my hero!" Petra squealed.

"No! Uncle help!" Levi whined and raised both his hands to his uncle, begging to be picked, and be away as possible from the two.

"Hahaha, you didn't tell me that you're popular Levi." Kenny teased and picked his nephew up while the two children looked up at him with a pout.

"Levi! Let's play at my house tomorrow!" Hange jumped excitedly.

"I want to play too!" Petra jumped as well.

"No!" Levi shook his head. "I don't want to!"

"But it's going to be my birthday tomorrow." Hange deflated and looked up at the raven with puppy dog eyes behind her glasses. "Mama said I should invite everyone in class but I'm new here and I don't have enough friends."

"I can be your friend and Levi too!" Petra raised her.

"Really? But Levi..." Hange glanced at Levi.

Kenny turned to his nephew who was still glaring at the two with his arms crossed against his chest. He sighed and ran his hand on Levi's raven hair. "Levi, what did we talk about?"

Levi's glare crumbled down and he frowned at his uncle. "Be nice..."

"Look, Hange invited you to her birthday party. That sounds fun right?"

"Um..." The raven hesitated.

"Yes! It will be super fun! There is cake, candies and mama said we can dissect a frog!" Hange listed excitedly.

"Ew!" Levi and Petra said in distaste.

The small Beta deflated once again. Kenny panicked a little and attempted to mend the situation. It made sense that Hange would enjoy those kinds of activities with her little lab coat on.

"Hey, chin up you two," Kenny comforted. "How about we skip the frog dissecting activities?"

"But... I want to dissect a frog." Hange whispered sadly.
