Year 2077 (Eren x Levi)

--Chapter 12--

A ring was emitting through the apartment, causing both of the two people sitting on the bed, huddled under millions of blankets to jump out of their skin and screech out horrible high pitched yells.

"Jesus fucking christ!" Historia yelled, putting a hand over her heart to check if it may have exploded or not.

"Sorry, forgot to put my phone on silent." Petra returned.

"Who's calling this late anyway, it's almost 11 pm," Historia questioned.

"Oh uh- Just my old friend from my other college, I should probably take this." She said as she hurriedly grabbed her phone from the bedside table and rushed through the bedroom door towards the bathroom down the hall.

She ran in locking the door behind her before pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Sir. I have some news regarding the case."

"How old are you?" I said out of the blue. We had just entered my room and I wanted to find out more about the mysterious man with who I was supposed to spend all of my time.

"Excuse me?" Levi replied, a look of confusion mixed with a horrified look crossed his features.

"Well, I just thought that if we're gonna be spending basically all our time together until the police find whoever is after me and possibly Mikasa, that we should at least get to know some stuff about each other," I said, my voice a little timider than before.

"Fine. I'm 22, how old are you brat?" He replied, taking a seat in his go-to spot, which was the chair located at my desk.

"I'm 19. Where are you from?" I questioned, taking a seat opposite Levi, on the edge of my bed.

"Were. I was from The Underground City. I guess I'm from Shiganshina now." I never really thought about that. He died, meaning he's technically been reborn in a way. Which makes sense why he's saying he was from that place.

"You mean you're from the city below Tokyo capital?" I asked, even though I knew that's probably what he meant. There was only one underground city after all, and it wasn't the best place to live. I've heard some people talk about The Underground City, calling it the 'abandoned city' or the 'real-life Hades.' I could only imagine what Levi must have lived like before he died.

"Yes, what other underground city have you heard of, are you dense or something?" He asked, squinting his eyes to make a questioning face that clearly said, 'you're a fucking idiot.'

"What was it like?" I asked hesitantly, I didn't want to make him uncomfortable if it was a touchy subject for him.

"Next question." He replied almost instantly. I guess he really didn't want to talk about it, he's never been so eager to say anything so fast before. I didn't know how to reply to his statement without making it awkward, so I just carried on like before. Pretend I never said anything.

"Do- I mean did you have any family?" That was a mistake. The glare he gave me was the most terrifying one I'd seen from him yet, and that was saying something. I was guessing that too is a touchy subject to talk about.

"Games over," Levi said, moving from the chair towards the bathroom that was right next to the door to my bedroom. He walked in closing the door, almost slamming it, and locking it behind himself.

Shit...

"Stop being an arsehole, give me my damn phone." Jean almost yelled, grabbing at Marco's arm and basically tackling him to get back his precious belonging. Marco kept his back to Jean to stop him from capturing back his phone, by twirling around on the spot whenever Jean would move around him to try and grab it from his grasp.
