The New Guy [Modern LevixReader]

9. In This Life

(Just a little important/goofy filler chapter here. The next chapter will have more [Y/N] and Levi. I really don't want to push things between them because I feel like stories like that are usually quick and rushed. As the story goes on, their interactions will become more and more, of course ❣️)

[That next morning, 8:00 a.m.]

The night before, they both returned back to Hange's dorm after they left the bar. [Y/N] didn't want to spend the night alone, and she was lucky that Hange's dormmate was out of town for a couple of days. Once they got back to the dorm, they spent a couple more hours chatting.. about Zeke, about Levi, and just about life. She felt bad leaving without saying goodbye to Levi, especially after how kind he was to her after seeing the situation she was in.. but she didn't want to wait any longer. She just wanted to go home after the pain of Zeke never showing up.

[Y/N] rolled out of the bed and looked over at Hange, snoring away. She didn't understand how somebody could look so peaceful but sound so damn terrifying in their sleep. Shaking her head, she walked over and removed Hange's glasses and sat them on the nightstand next to her.

"Bean.. no biting, Mommy.. not nice.. go bite.. Moblit.. hngGGgghhh!" [Y/N] jumped at the even louder sound that escaped Hange's mouth and held her chest as if she was having a heart attack. "What the fuck.. girl, you need a sleep apnea test. We are gonna talk about that later." [Y/N] said as she walked away from her bedside, smiling softly.

She grabbed her things and as she passed a mirror by the door she stopped and looked at her sorry figure. Her dress was a wrinkled mess. Her make-up was smeared all over her face from wiping her tears. Remembering how pretty she looked last night and the effort she put in almost started the water works again. Maybe Fritzy was right all along. Maybe Zeke truly was a fraud. The thought of that hurt her to the core, considering she had spent the last 3 years thinking she knew the guy, thinking he truly loved her. And if it were true that he simply had just 'fallen out of love' with her, why couldn't he just tell her instead of wasting her time? Why did it take her so long to see the signs?

Even Hange admitted she was vaguely aware of the red flags, but she just never said anything because she was afraid [Y/N] would have taken it the wrong way. She was right.. and so was Fritzy. All she ever did was try to see the good in Zeke, even if there wasn't any. She spent most of her time defending his actions, not even realizing what was truly going on. She had been blinded by his slick talk, his charm, and the fact that every damn girl in that school was interested in him. Zeke was like a prize to her. A prize [Y/N] felt she didn't deserve.. but she had won over everyone else. But although [Y/N] was having some type of realization finally, it didn't change the fact that she still cared for him.

She grabbed her heels, not even putting them on, and made her way out of Hange's dorm and back to her own. She wanted to apologize to Fritzy for how stupid she had been acting and tell her about last night. It was the least she could do, especially thinking about how she slammed the door in her face when she left.

[Y/N] made it back her dorm and opened the door. The room was unusually dark. Normally, the shades were a tad bit open to get some light. She couldn't see where she was walking, so she flipped the switch on the wall, and the sight in front of her stopped her dead in her tracks.

Fritzy was passed out on a chair in the corner of the room, sitting straight up. Zeke's younger half-brother was passed out on the small sofa, half of his body hanging over the side. They both looked terrible, like they were in a scuffle or something. Their faces were extra pale, almost deathly looking. Were they even alive?

"What the fuck.." [Y/N] said as she walked over to the boy on the sofa, touching his cheek softly. He felt cold as ice, but he was breathing. Why were they here together? Why did they look such a mess? She looked down and happened to notice that the boys' pants were partly unbuttoned. At that point, only one thing made sense to her..

"EREN JAEGER YOU BETTER WAKE YOUR ASS THE FUCK UP THIS INSTANT!" [Y/N] screamed at the boy. He yelped like a dog and jumped, falling off the side of the sofa, landing on his face. At the sound of the yelling, Fritzy ended up jumping up out of the chair she was sitting on. She landed forward on her feet and was instantly in a fighting stance.

"Oww fuck, my nose.." Eren said as he rolled over and cupped his face with his hands. [Y/N] forcefully grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him up into a sitting position. Fritzy ran over, attempting to separate them.

"Listen here, baby dick. How dare you fuck around with my dormmate in secret! How would Mikasa feel? She loves you, you stupid idiot! She never puts that fucking scarf down! ..and you.." [Y/N] turned to Fritzy and began to viciously poke at her face. "..you have some nerve, Ymir. Talking shit to me about my relationship with Zeke and here you are fucking his little brother!"

"WHAT?!" Eren and Fritzy screamed in unison.

"No, [Y/N]! This isn't what it looks like. Eren came over here looking for you last night and.."

"And what? Decided to get in a quickie? Try out some fresh meat? Got bored with being a virgin?" [Y/N] exclaimed as she was mere inches away from Fritzy's face.

"Harsh.." Eren said under his breath.

"Hey.. I am not a virgin!" Fritzy defended herself.

"..in this life you are.." Eren whispered under his breath again. Fritzy gave him a deathly glare in return.

"YOU BETTER WATCH WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH NEXT OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!" [Y/N] screamed in rage at the boy but stopped as she noticed something strange as he stood up in front of her. "Eren.. why the hell do you have sand falling from your pants?"

"Oh.." He looked down at his clothing. "I.. uh.. well.. see.."

"Eren just came from the seaside last night before he stopped here looking for you. He was working on a project for one of his classes. He wanted your help, but you weren't here.. so I helped him. Which is why he fell asleep here." Fritzy explained and crossed her arms, giving both Eren and [Y/N] a stern glance.

"Yeah.. yep.. what she said." Eren said and gulped softly as he began to shake out his shirt, dusting his shoulders off.

"Oh." [Y/N] said softly. Her cheeks began to turn a slight pink. It did seem a little odd, but she was in no condition to argue anymore. "Wow. You should have just said that to begin with. I'm sorry, guys. I feel like an idiot. I guess I'm just letting my anger out on you both.. it was a rough night." She sighed and turned around.

"..tell me about it.." Eren mumbled as Fritzy nudged him in the shoulder cautiously.

"Eren, have you heard from Zeke? He.. stood me up last night. We had made plans to meet at this bar in town.." [Y/N] asked, her voice lowering at the last part.

"Damn.. I'm sorry [Y/N]. I haven't."

"That son of a bitch.." Fritzy said as she walked over to [Y/N]. "Want to talk about it babe?" [Y/N] nodded and they both made their way to the sofa and sat. Fritzy began rubbing her back, letting [Y/N] lean on her shoulder.

"Jaeger, I know you are bad at taking hints, so let me be blunt with you.. it's time for you to leave." Fritzy said as she flashed Eren a quick middle finger. Eren angrily furrowed his brows, and he began to walk forward.

"Hey.. you can't just.."

"BYE EREN!" Fritzy shouted as she gave him a teasing wave goodbye.

"Err. Fine. Still so fucking bossy, take a chill pill." He grumbled as he turned back around, walked towards the door, and left.

[Y/N] spent a while chatting about her night to Fritzy. Explaining all of the events that have happened with Zeke, what happened at the bar, and even apologized to her. Fritzy knew this was only the beginning, though. She hated seeing [Y/N] like this.. defeated, hurt, drained, and losing confidence. She deserved so much more, but she knew [Y/N] wouldn't let go of Zeke so easily. If she needed to intervein, she would.. but for now, everything needed to run its course naturally.
