"Everything is prepared," Kuchel ran a tired hand through her hair, looking up from a clipboard covered with neat tiny writing. "I've checked over everything twice, anything you're missing you can pick up in the city, this should help you get there at the very least."

alright-

"Y/N do you have all of the paperwork," Farlan called out to me. "I set it aside for you."

yes it's-

"Right here!" I shouted back, gesturing to a bag at my feet, "thank you for gathering everything."

they're all so reliable

"Petra and some of the other maids will work on loading all of this, you should go get comfortable," Kuchel nudged me in the direction of the carriage Levi and I would be taking.

"Have fun with your husband!" Petra teased, poking me in the side as she walked by.

what do u think we're doing in the carriage .......

other than bullying my husband........

which i will enjoy doing <333

"Are you ready?" Hanji fell into step with me as I walked towards Levi and the carriage.

as much as i can be-

"I'm not sure what to expect-" I muttered, picking at the end of my sleeve, "I think that a certain someone is more worried about it than me." My gaze fell on Levi standing next to the carriage, talking to a couple members of the guard.

i mean he woke up and immediately started pacing around

i only went to talk with kuchel about the things we're bringing because it started to stress me out

and now he's going over guard detail for the thousandth time

they're trying to humiliate me not kill me

although i wouldn't be surprised if that's the next thing-

"Levi is worried?" Hanji looked him over, "he seems normal to me."

???

DO YOU NOT SEE IT ???

I MEAN FOR STARTERS-

"He went straight to his office when he woke up, realized that he didn't have anything to do, came back to our room, and grumbled under his breath until I woke up."

then when we went to get breakfast he grumbled some more-

"Sounds normal to me," Hanji shrugged.

YOU'RE RIGHT BUT

"Normally he would stop his grumbling to bicker with me or-" I trailed off.

"Or?"

talk shit about the prince

"You know-" I felt my cheeks heat up as I tried to think of something else to say, "couple things."

THAT'S SO VAGUE

WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE IF HANJI KNOWS ABOUT THE PRINCE

IDK ????? I JUST- MAYBE IT'S GOOD IF PEOPLE THINK THAT LEVI AND I DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN LIE AND COMPLAIN

"No need to get so embarrassed," Hanji laughed, nudging me gently. "Petra is going to love hearing about this."

i should be embarrassed levi and i r awful ppl if you really think about it

"I'm not going into detail, don't get your hopes up," I grumbled, rolling my eyes at her.

"You act more and more like Levi every single day," Hanji erupted into even louder laughter.

NOOO

"YOU'RE LYING RIGHT??"

"IT'S THE TRUTH!" She stepped away from me, mimicking my expression. "Don't get your hopes up idiot."

WTF WTF WTF

"I DIDN'T SAY IT LIKE THAT-"

"SURE SOUNDED LIKE IT."

"PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT LIKE HIM I'LL CR-"

THIS ISN'T GOOD I NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH OTHER PEOPLE

"Like who?" A certain someone cut into our conversation.

..............

"Speak of the devil," Hanji muttered, stepping away from me to join the rest of the guard.

"I definitely wasn't about to say that I don't want to sound like you," I muttered, glancing over at Levi who had decided to interrupt our conversation at the worst possible moment.

let's be nice to him right now- he's worried

"That would be crazy," Levi leaned closer to me, his voice lowering to a whisper. "After all the two of us are going to spend a lot of time alone on our journey. I'd hate it if something bad were to happen."

uhm

"What do you mean by that-" I took a step back.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS

IT'S SCARY

I PREFER NORMAL MEAN LEVI- GO BACK

"Nothing, I thought I would play along," he moved away from me, flicking my forehead. "Really Y/N? 'Couple things?' Was that the best you could think of?"

URGH

"YOU WERE LISTENING?"

"Of course I was, you're loud."

wow . you find a way to be rude everywhere .

"And you're rude," I grumbled. "I only said it so that they would think we're more interesting than we actually are."

that and i don't want random people to know that we shit-talk royalty for half of the day

"Practicing for when we have to fool the princess?"

"Something like that."

start now with something low stakes so when we have to pretend to be interesting to save our relationships it's- fine

AS IF YOU COULD EVER BE CALM DOING THAT

IT'S UNREALISTIC

"We should go," Levi sighed, stretching slightly.

you look better

"Did talking with the guards help you destress?" I asked, taking his arm as we walked.

"I wasn't stressed to begin with," he frowned.

SURE

"If you want to pretend it was like that we can."

i recall a certain someone getting out of bed muttering and grumbling about 'the state of things'

"Hurry up and get into the carriage, stop lying about things."

oh? so eager?

"If you want to watch me from behind you can just say so."

"I'm going ahead," Levi huffed, quickly moving ahead.

"I don't mind this view either!"

"Stop pretending, no one is watching!"

"I'm not pretending!"
