Year 2077 (Eren x Levi)

--Chapter 18--

The bottle was pointing towards them, well specifically one of them.

Levi.

Levi kept a straight face, however, even after everyone was fully staring holes into his soul. He casually picked up the top card and flicked it over to read it aloud to the group who were leaning in as if they were about to hear about a super top secret no one else must know about.

"Let the group pick someone that you must grind on for at least thirty seconds or both of you must finish your drinks..." Levi said, staring aimlessly at the card he was holding in his hand.

"Oh ho ho hehe hehe~" Sasha started giggling menacingly at the dare Levi had picked up. She definitely had something planned.

"GROUP MEETING APART FROM LEVI AND EREN! Eren keep him company while we decide who to nominate hehe." Sahsa shouted, before calmly explaining the second half. Quickly grabbing Connie up by the arm and dragging him through to the kitchen with the others slowly and curiously following after.

"I guess they're gonna pick who they want to you to grind on I guess..." Eren said casually, a bit too casually actually. He said it like it was an ordinary thing to grind on one of your friends for thirty seconds.

"And what if I decide not to do it, whatever plans Sasha has will be ruined," Levi added. He wasn't at all comfortable with doing this considering his little phobia, but he wasn't going to back out now. Yeah, he told Eren he could back out, but he knew he wasn't going to after what Eren said about never being able to live it down. Although he doubts anyone would bring it up, to begin with, Levi can be quite intimidating with his hateful glares.

"If Mikasa can make out with Annie in front of everyone and Jean can, even if it was disgusting to watch, deep throat a banana in front of everyone, I'm pretty sure you're not going to back out of your dare now. That would be boring for all of us, and I doubt you're the kind to bitch out of stupid dares." Eren said, and he was right. Levi wasn't the kind to bitch out of stupid dares, because he's anything but a bitch. And if he's being completely honest, he doesn't want to be shown up by all these teenagers at this little get-together party.

"So what were you like? Before you... died I mean. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I just thought... I want to get to know you better, I guess." Eren said, trying to form the right words together, not to offend Levi in any way. It was silent for a while as Levi debated on answering Eren's burning question.

"I was... a little shit," Levi said, reminiscing on his past life before he was used as a lab experiment. He doesn't miss his old life at all, but the people in it are a different story.

"Me and my friends... we would cause trouble, stealing from rich people to give to the poor who lived in the Underground City... It wasn't the best life to live, but we were happy with what we did..." Levi said with the tiniest small from thinking back to the memories of his old friends, not sure if he should be sharing his past life with this boy. He didn't trust people easily since he came back, but he feels like he can trust Eren. Let's hope his judgement is right.

"What were their names?" Eren asked, a small, innocent smile on his lips as he looked at Levi who stared aimlessly into the distance as he spilt his past to the brunette boy. Levi turned to face Eren, perplexed by the question he asked with the confusion shown clear in his glossy, silver eyes.

"Your friends... what were their names?" Eren asked, clearing up any confusion Levi may have had. He stared willingly at Eren's eyes, looking back and forth between two mystical, ocean, teal eyes. He could look into them all day if he could.

"Isabel and Farlan," Levi replied, his eyes glued to Eren's like he was hypnotized by them and they were casting a spell on him.

"What... what happened to them?" Eren hesitated before asking this question, fearing that Levi would run away like last time and hide until he could resurface, just as if it had never happened.
