Complications Throughout Generations

Chapter 96

Levi's POV:

It was Eren's birthday today. I had been debating whether or not I wanted to give him the card. It didn't exactly feel appropriate due to our last conversation. Mikasa and I went back to not speaking and my mom had been out of the house more than usual. Hange slept over that night and we just talked. Next thing you know, the sun was up. Meaning the both of us are in school right now running on no sleep. I've done it before but Hange is completely face down asleep in French class right now. I just let her sleep. She isn't used to not getting more than 8 hours meanwhile I can survive off of 45 minutes.

I had my class with Eren soon. Remembering what the card said, I wasn't sure if it was the best idea. But something is telling me I should go through with it and just give it to him. The bell eventually rang and Hange still didn't wake up.

"Hange," I called, "Hange," I shook her this time, "four eyes, wake up!" She shot up and my eyes immediately went to the drool on her desk. "You're disgusting, let's go."

We both left the class and said goodbye to our teacher.

"Do you have plan?" She asked.

"I do."

"You don't have a plan, do you."

"I do not," I sighed. Maybe I just won't know until I see him. While Hange and I were walking through the hallway, of course we find Mikasa and Eren in front of us. But for once, they weren't talking. Although they were close, they weren't holding hands either. What did he say to her the other night? "Now I really don't think I should give it to him."

"I was thinking the opposite."

"Give it to him?"

"Give it to him."

Eventually, I walked into my English class and sat in the desk that's to the far right. Eren wasn't there yet so I quickly reached into my bag and placed the card in the center of his desk. I felt my palms getting sweaty. Wiping my hands on my pants was not an option so I reached in my bag for some hand sanitizer, that always helps me. Once I had looked back up from my bag, he came in with Reiner behind him. It seems like Reiner and Armin are the only two that talk to him. Maybe more but I'm not sure who. They both sat down and I heard the card being picked up. He opened the envelope and I felt sick. I regret this. I wish I could turn around and take it from him but there's no going back now. I heard him put the card back in the envelope and opened his bag to put the card inside.

"Reiner," I heard Eren whisper. I was fully prepared for him to talk about the card. "Jean asked me to come over."

"Are you serious?" Reiner answered.

I was slightly relieved but also slightly disappointed that it was another subject. But why would Jean want to see Eren? If anything, I'd think that's the last person who'd want to see Eren. But I guess we'll find and out see.
