A/N: Well then!

"Eighty-seven bottles of beer on the wall! Eighty-seven bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around eight-six bottles of beer on the wall!"

Levi stares out the window as nearly everyone sings (Hanji the only one with any enthusiasm) that dumb song to pass time while they sit in traffic.

"Wish I had eighty-six bottles of beer right now," he mutters.

"Amen," Mikasa, the only other person on the car not singing, replies quietly.

They chuckle quietly and Hanji abruptly stops singing. "Do you two have anything you'd like to share with the class?" she asks accusingly.

"Leave them be Hanji," Armin says, still thumbing through his magazine, this not being the first time he's had to talk to her about bugging people since they left.

"But they aren't enjoying the song!" she whines.

Despite being the youngest, most of their group of friends deferred to Armin as having the most authority to end dumb arguments.

"No buts," he says. "They don't have to like things if they don't want to."

Hanji pouts. "I don't even wanna sing anymore."

"Praise the Lord," Levi says, bumping shoulders with Mikasa as he snickers.

Hanji wears a comically offended expression. "Wha-"

"Rest stop!" Erwin calls, putting the van in park. "Everyone out. Pee and get snacks cause we aren't stopping again until we get there."

As soon as everyone's out, Levi beelines for Eren and takes his hand. "Hey babe," Eren says, smiling.

Levi leans his head on Eren's shoulder. "She's so noisy," Levi mutters.

"I know, she's sitting directly behind me."

"We're gonna have to make a return trip exactly like this."

"I'm just hoping she's tired enough to sleep most of the ride home."

Levi snorts. "She's got too much energy for that."

"You're probably right."

Levi is still practically wrapped around Eren's arm as they walk into the shop to buy snacks.

Eren grabs a water bottle and a bag of Funyuns while Levi gets a diet Cherry Pepsi and Cheetos Puffs.

Neither of them decide to stop on the bathroom in favor of waiting by the van for everyone else, Levi not daring miss his chance to hang onto Eren while they're out of the van.

The others come back in a group and Erwin orders them all back in the van. Levi tries not the pout when he has to pull away from Eren to squeeze back beside Mikasa.
