Carousel of Affection [Attack on Titan/Black Lagoon Crossover] [Complete]

Levi's Perspective

Wednesday: my decadiversary. Slash date. Armin (my boyfriend), Rebecca (my potentially best friend), and I were to go to the fair that comes to town every so often. It took some conversation, but Okajima managed to give both of them their "sick" day off. So here we all are in my car and on our forty-five minutes drive. Of course, what's a road trip without conversation and music? Unfortunate topic of choice: occupation.

"I dunno, maybe I'll work a a Kmart or something. That way, when I get fired, I'll just go grocery shopping and leave without paying." I suggested laughingly. Armin chuckled from the passenger's seat while Rebecca was half sleep with her legs across the back three seats.

"Well," Armin began after catching his breath, "You did say you were going to keep your writing. Why not do something with that?"

I shrugged, "I could, I suppose, but I do need to get out the house instead of being couped up to write." Armin nodded agreeing.

"Speaking of such," Rebecca finally spoke, "There was actually an ad from that Bodt guy about writing."

Armin damn near broke his neck turning around, "Dr. Marco Bodt? Thee Dr. Marco Bodt!"

I heard Rebecca chuckled, "Yes. Something about publishing local underground artists or so."

Armin squealed and I winced at the shrill sound, "Dammit Armin, relax!" I said grinning at his excitement.

"Please tell me you're going to do it! Please tell me I can come! Please?" His excitement was adorable, how could I shoot him down?

"Alright, alright. I'll shoot him an email and see what happens, okay?" I said, glancing at Armin's happy face.

He nodded with a wide grin, "And I can meet him with you?"

I grinned, grabbing his hand with my free one, "And you can meet him with me." Armin squealed again and I winced, chuckling, while Rebecca almost threw her shoe at him. Of course I wouldn't let her, though.

After a few more jokes, squeals, and threats, we finally made it to the fair. From the parking lot, I could see the ferris wheel, the swinging ship, the zipper ride, and I could smell the food. Admission was just under $25.

"Alright, sissies, which ride are we getting on?" Rebecca said, "Pretty sure you'll pick the carousel or teacups or something."

Armin chuckled, "Well, I know what I want to get on but not yet."

Rebecca looked back and smirked, "The ferris wheel? Typical..."

"Pfft, no, that!" He pointed to the tall zipper ride. I think my heart just stopped. "But I can feel da widdle baby shivering already so let's start with the ship!" Armin began skipping towards the swinging ship.

I ran a nervous hand through my hair. "Ballsy one you got there." Rebecca said, walking past me, "I know who the girl is in the relationship now..." I nudged her shoulder earning a playful chuckle out of her.

We caught up to Armin just as the ride was refilling. My stomach seemed to weaken when he chose to sit at the back. I was between he and Rebecca with two other people on the outer sides of them. The announcer did their safety scan and announced the dispatch. At first, it was fine. Until they decided to let Satan take over and push the ship nearly vertical. Armin and Rebecca were laughing. Why? I'm on the verge of fucking death. When the ride ended, I could barely move because I was stifled with so much shaking fear.

"That was so fun! Wanna go again?" Armin said. The fear left my body damn near instantly; I moved so fast away from the ride I could've caused a car accident. "Armin, no! I'm going to go ear ice cream. You guys can do the zipper and meet me at the ferris wheel."
