Welcome to Our Life

Chapter 10

I do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters mentioned.

(Levi P.O.V.)
There were three things I had expected to happen this weekend. One thing being the fact that I would stay home and do nothing. Second thing would have been going out to buy more cleaning supplies. The third and final thing would have been cleaning. None of this happened. What I didn't expect was for Eren and his friends to show up at my house and drag me to the skate park that Eren had talked about.

We all had to gather in Erwin's small Toyota. There were people sitting on others laps let me tell you. Erwin was driving, of course. Hanji was in the passenger seat. Jean sat beside Mikasa with Armin in his lap, Mikasa sat by herself in the middle. Connie and Sasha were currently sitting in the trunk of the car. Don't worry the door is open. Then there was Eren who sat with me in his lap. Very awkward I must say.

"Your really light, you should eat more." Eren had commented right before we left.

"I eat just fine. "

"Tell that to the amount of meat or lack there of on your bones."

"I'm a vegetarian." It came out a deadpan which made Eren stop talking for a minute.

"Seriously?"

"No, I enjoy eating everything of the food pyramid except meat for no fucking reason, brat."

The others laughed at us saying that we sounded like an old married couple. I gave them the finger after the laughing had died down.

The ride was not comfortable but yet it wasn't unsettling either. For the most, it was silent except for idle chat. It was strange, especially since I was expecting Eren and Jean to argue. I glanced out of the window to see the car driving into an area if the city I had not yet been to.

Eren seemed to have noticed my worried gaze. "Don't worry, this part of the city is completely safe."

"I wasn't worried, I can handle myself pretty well." I stated.

Eren chuckled. "Whatever you say, Levi."

We arrived at, what I assumed, was the skate park. Everyone got out of the car. It took those who had people settled on their laps to get out of the car longer.

Eren, being Eren, grabbed his skateboard before anyone else and ran off to the half pike. I didn't have a skateboard myself, nor did I know how to skate, so I just sat at a close by picnic table to watch. They seemed to be having a good time. I watched as Eren dropped from the top of the half pike and rode it all the way back up and did a three-sixty. I was in awe as he stayed in the air for that period of time. Usually, someone would fall right back down but I guess Eren was more experienced than them. All of the others decided to stick to railings or just skating on flat ground.

"Levi!" Eren yelled as he ran over to me.

"What's up?"

"Do you want to try?"

This was where I looked away to hide my embarrassment. I'd rather not tell him I had no experience in the matter.

He looked at me. "You can skate, right?"

I shook my head. I was expecting a laugh but that didn't come. I did not expect Eren to pull me up to my feet and set the skate board at my feet.

He grinned. "Well, since you can't skate , I guess I'll have to teach you."

"I don't know what I'm doing."

"It's easy, first you have to find the foot that you feel is most comfortable on the board."

I switched my feet from left to right, being careful to not make the board move. I settled with my right foot on the board.

"This feels right."

He smiled. "Good, now all you have to do is push away with your left foot, don't bend your knees too much because you will fall but make sure you have a little bend to them." I nodded and did as I was told. I instantly almost fell.

"If I break something, it's your fault." I stated as I got back on the board in the same position as before.

Ignoring my comment before Eren spoke, "No, your stance still isn't right; Turn your right foot to the side a little and move it up more to where it's not in the middle." I followed the directions but still didn't move.

"What?"

"Eren, I'm going to fall on my ass if I try this."

The brunette laughed and took both of my hands and held them. He told me to push with my left and I did so very slowly.

He still did not let go of my hands as I continued to move on the skateboard.

"That's it, your getting it." I felt my cheeks heat up.

"That's only because your still holding me."

"Do you want me to let go?"

"No."

That reply was something that made Eren chuckle. His breath ghosted over my ear. I shivered involuntarily.

"Please, just don't let me fall."

"I wasn't planning on it."

I felt as though my chest was tightening, like something was pulling at my heart. I didn't get it one bit. Maybe I was still sick. Yeah that's it, I'm still sick.

Though, when Eren wasn't behind me anymore did that feeling disappear and I ended up falling on my ass anyways.

"Oh my god, Levi are you okay?"

"You said you wouldn't let go."

Eren looked away with a guilty expression. "Sorry, I wanted to see if you could do it on your own."

I sighed. "Oi, don't look like that; Help me up." I was pulled to my feet for the second time today. I rubbed my tailbone which would probably be bruised in the morning.

"Sorry again, Levi."

"You are okay. Seriously, I haven't had that much fun in a while." I said to cheer him up. I added a playful punch to his shoulder.

He seemed surprised for a moment then a shit-eating-grin appeared on his face. "I'm glad you had fun."

"Eren, Levi, c'mon we have to go it's getting late.

Oh wow I lost track of time. It was around ten o'clock when we left the park. We had all gotten in our places from before. Instead of idle chat with one another, Eren and I engaged in a full debate on what kind of music would be best to listen to when skating.

We continued the debate until Erwin arrived at my house. "Good night, Levi; Put some ice on your butt, it should feel better." Eren joked. I laughed. Key word, laughed. I didn't try to hold it back at all.

"I'll keep that in mind." I tapped his head before saying good-bye and walking into my house.

Once the door was shut I had a smile, not a smirk, not a little quirk, but a genuine smile. I felt ecstatic. There would be absolutely no way I'd be sleeping tonight.
