*Hange's POV*

I woke up to find myself sleeping in a futon. I was confused at first before it hit me. I had broken up with my boyfriend the night before and asked to stay in my best friend's house. Which he kindly allowed me to. I was grateful because I thought I'd experience sleeping in a car not a bed. But a car still has a roof right?

I looked around to see a little piece of paper. It was from Levi.
"Morning, Four eyes. Get ready and clean up coz I know you look like shit and come downstairs"

Look like shit? What was he on about? I looked at the closest mirror to examine myself. My hair was messier than usual. I had slightly puffy eyes and they were red. The murderous headache from yesterday wasn't as bad today.

"Gosh, I look like a mess", I said to myself rubbing my eyes. I went into the bathroom to brush and wash my face. Soon after I re-did my hair and looked in the mirror. I thought of leaving my hair down to see if it was more attractive. Which led to me thinking I wasn't good enough and that caused Moblit to cheat on me with someone prettier.

The same thought flooded my mind and caused me to break down in tears. Once I was done crying I went downstairs like Levi told me to, whilst rubbing my eyes. He simply looked at me with whatever that was going through his mind.

Probably something like "Gotta get rid of this woman soon"or "Geez. I'm just being a good Samaritan"

He handed me breakfast. Buttered crumpets he called it. And it was good. Really good. As I'd expect from the owner of the best Cafe ever. He asked me what happened last night. And like a little bitch, I started crying. He apologised for asking and it made me feel guilty. It wasn't his fault. Its my fault to walk into his house only showing him my gratitude by crying.

A few minutes later, Petra came in and Levi went to greet her. They talked for sometime. She pointed at me frowning. That's not a good sign. Then I realised I had just slept in her boyfriend's house overnight. I went red filled with embarrassment. Soon after, she stormed out.

Levi walked back to me with a smile.

"Did I do something?" , I questioned him looking worried.
"No. Just Petra being Petra. I'm going to call Gunther, Oluo and Eld. They're taking over today"

I looked at him puzzled. "Why? where are you going?"

"We, Hange. Were going for a walk. You're going to tell me what happened. And we'll figure something out", he told me picking up his phone.

" oh no that's too much. I-"
He glared at me, silencing me. Soon after his phone was answered.

"Gunther. I don't have the energy to call you, Oluo and Eld. So you tell them this yourself. You're taking over the Cafe today. I have some important stuff to handle"

Mumble mumble.

"No Gunther, it's not an option. Make it here or you're fired."

Then he ended the call. Why has he got to be so intimidating? The shop opened shortly after. Until, Oluo, Eld and Gunther arrived I helped Levi. We had a few customers before they arrived. Levi greeted them with a glare.

"You're late.", He.said taking off his apron and throwing it to Oluo. Oluo looked a mess. Probably from biting his tongue. He grabbed my wrist and went round the counter.

" L-levi... "

We left the shop leaving the other three dumbfounded.

*Levi's POV*

As soon as we got out, I let go of Hange's hands. We walked to the closest park. It wasn't as filled like normal days. It was a Sunday meaning people were either at church or doing something useless.

I decided to break the awkward silence between us.

"You feel like telling me now?"

She lowered her head before lifting it back up again, nodding.

"Moblit was cheating on me"

I was completely taken aback. "He was what?"

" I saw him with Nanaba. In the same place we had our first date and where he asked me to be his girlfriend. I found out about two weeks ago. It just stings", she said almost looking like she was about to cry.

"And what happened last night?"

She sniffed before saying "I broke up with him"

"Hange, why did it take you two weeks to leave the man? And staying in the same house with the guy that broke your heart? Wasn't that torture for you?"

" it was", she said completely crying now "it pains me but I had nowhere to go. If I left him, I'd be homeless. And you said we had to interact less. So I took it as you didn't want to see me anymore. So I decided to stay with him until yesterday. I just-"

Didn't want to see her anymore? She of all people should know that wasn't what I meant. I patted her back before bringing up the next question.

"What made you decide to Finally break up with him? You know after two weeks?"

"I don't know, I just couldn't bear it anymore. I guess. Levi this is my problem I really shou-"

I cut her short "You can stay with me. In that same room. I'm not having you go back there"

She looked at me like I was some dumb guy but also a life saviour.

"Ah, Levi that's way too much. I'll be fine on my own, Really! I just need to rent an apartment and figure something out"

"I'm serious. Plus where would you get that money from? I'm here to help you, Hange. Don't treat me like a stranger"

"What about Petra? Will she be okay with this?"

Oh yeah. Her. She wasn't happy with the idea of Hange sleeping one night. Imagine living with me. And taking the room she was gonna turn into a tutoring room.

"I'll have a gentle talk with Her. Were going to get the rest of your stuff tomorrow. I saw a mini box at the back of your car. Is that yours?"

She looked down red faced "yh but Levi? Are YOU sure about this?"

"No. But I can't sit around and watch when I could do something. Want a hug?"

She stepped back shaking her head and wafting her hand around. Still looking red. Bright red.

"Hange, I never give hugs. If you miss it now, you've missed it forever." , I looked at her sternly. She eventually gave up and went in for a hug. At least she had stopped crying. And she was warm. I slowly rubbed her back comforting her.

Something about this hug was different. When ever I hugged Petra, I didn't feel any warmth or welcome. But she had a different aroma.

Maybe her staying with me won't be that bad.

A/N: So sorry I was gonna update it yesterday but I had a cold, and a headache. I still do so my creativity won't be as good lol. I still hope your loving it. I know in this one there's too much speech marks and stuff but I'm not that good at writing 😅 anyway have such a good day. 🤗
