"It's-"

"I need to-" Levi cut me off, suddenly avoiding my gaze, "I need to talk to Hanji before we leave."

weird

"Oh- ok-" I nodded, glancing back at her, "I mean we have time."

"Yeah," he awkwardly stood in front of me for a second, "can you move?"

"Oh-" I nodded, "right, sorry."

"Don't apologize," he coughed slightly, before pushing past me.

WEIRD

is he?

ok?

maybe its just taking him a minute to get used to being in his body again

that must be it

I stood in the doorway for a second, before gathering myself and turning to look at Levi and Hanji.

i thought he would be more excited

im excited

why isn't he?

i mean i know my body is great but-

we were both excited to switch

why did it suddenly get so awkward

whatever

Mr. Squid hopped off of Hanji's lap as Levi took a seat next to her, hurrying over to my side.

AT LEAST SOMEONE LOVES ME

"He's weird isn't he?" I muttered, kneeling to pet him, "really weird."

that's right- they got rid of all of hanji's research

"If you want my father to like you we probably shouldn't be looking around either," I sighed.

"Why would I need your father to like me?" Levi grumbled.

"Oh-" I paused, "I mean, I thought you wanted him to- I thought you cared about that kind of thing?"

and you're the one who wants to strike a deal with him

"Well-" Levi sighed, "you aren't wrong."

"You're so combative," I grumbled, refocusing my attention on Mr. Squid.

"Y/N-"

"Sorry if you wouldn't mind, it appears that Levi has some things he wants to discuss privately," Hanji cut Levi off, shooting me a smile. "Could you step out for a minute?"
