waning gibbous ✩ aot summer camp au

welcome back to camp kyojin!

Five weeks.

The end of summer.

One summer camp.

Two spiteful high schoolers.

A legendary water gun fight.

Levi Ackerman was attending his second to last possible year at camp.

Erwin Smith, his last.

Ever since Levi had started going to this camp in sixth grade, he had absolutely despised Erwin. Hated him. Every year they would bicker and flip each other off and fight and steal food and fill each others' bags with shaving cream and turn off the hot water to the shower house and push each other in the lake and-

They interacted with each other a surprising amount for people that hated each other.

They had several mutual friends, too. Mike. Hange. Nile. Moblit. Nanaba. The middle schoolers. The freshmen. They could've been good friends, and for some reason, wouldn't get along.

This summer, Mike, Hange, Moblit, and Nanaba, who were usually campers, were all college freshmen, and now camp staff. Levi and Erwin could finally agree on something, having friends who could turn a blind eye to your rule breaking in front of other camp staff was amazing.

Camp this year would be special, to say the least.

Levi reached over to hug his mom before opening the door to leave. "Love you. I'll try to write."

"I'll expect the essay about how filthy the camp is by around three days after you get here?" She asked, smiling.

"It is filthy! There's dirt on the tables in the mess hall! Where we eat!" He defended indignantly.

"Alright, alright- love you too!" She exclaimed as he opened the door. He turned around to face the pavilion, smile quickly fading as he registered who he would have to endure again this year. Erwin fucking Smith. The little shit who had fought him for the past six years at camp.

A familiar brown-haired person walked up to him, goggle-style glasses reflecting the sun and brown ponytail high on their head. "Hello, random camper I've never met before! Can you tell me your name?" They asked, grinning mischievously.

Levi sighed and gave a slight smile. "Hey, Hanji. You know my name."

They laughed. "Yeah, you're in Trost. Wanna see the camper list? I'm pretty sure you know everyone in your cabin this year."

He shrugged and took the clipboard from them, scanning the list.

Levi stared up at Hanji. "Erwin's in my cabin this year?" He asked, deadpan.

They grinned. "Excited?"

"You suck. I'm going to blame every rule we break on you."

"You two are a 'we' now?"

"I'm using all your sunscreen as a flamethrower."

"Do it."

Levi sighed. "Just don't force us to do anything together, four-eyes."

"I can't guarantee you anything! Anyway, I see someone else from our cabin pulling up, you go on to Trost!" She exclaimed, running off to a bright red pickup truck. Levi sighed, again, and began lugging his bag to his cabin, already dreading the rest of his summer.
