A chapter filled with conversations, enjoy love!

•••

From Petra: Thanks for the lunch yesterday! :)

To Petra: No problem It was nice going out with you by the way

From Petra: So we're friends now huh?

To Petra: If you like to

From Petra: Are you kidding me I'd love to be friends with you! ;)

To Petra: What's with that face? ._. Are you flirting me Ral?

From Petra: You idiot I have a man already xD But it was nice going out with you too by the way ^^

Levi smiled at his phone's screen. She's cute even while texting. He wondered what else he could discover from her since he'd finally befriended with the girl.

Out of no where, Hanji peeked her head right next to his face making him jump in such surpise. He quickly turned off the phone, hoping she didn't see anything.

"Awe, something's goin' on 'round here." Hanji sang.

"How long 'till you can stop babbling with your loud mouth?" Levi grunted.

"Probably never." Hanji playfully shrugged. Only having Levi angrily storming out of the office while she chuckling to herself and rolled her eyes muttering "Stupid midget" when he was completly gone.

"Hanji-san!" A blonde haired woman ran up to her screaming out loud, taking attentions from almost every directions from the other people.

"What is it Nanaba?" The glassed woman asked as Nanaba and Mike approached her.
"We have some news for you." The young female sedately said like a soldier as she stomped in front of Hanji while Mike just calmly grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from any other over-acting in the future.
"Don't tell me that you're pregnant." Hanji had her eyes widen while immediately guessed the answer. And even though they knew it's only a joke, Nanaba escaped Mike's grab on her shoulder and shove a fist at the brunette's arm, which she responded by playfully yelled in pain.

"We were walking on the hall the other day and spotted Levi talking to Petra." Mike explained. "Very friendly" He added. Nanaba nodded along. With that, Hanji smirked a devilish one while chuckling to herself.

"I knew it! There must be something between 'em! He's been seen with her for the last few weeks. He even smiled while texting her earlier!" Yes, she saw it.

"Wow, really?!" Nanaba exclaimed, Mike escaped his calm attitude and looked completely amused. Well that's a shocking news. Unfortunately for Levi, these three people couldn't keep their mouth quiet down because most of the employees in the room were all paying attention to the conversation between those three with their ears perked up, some exchanged gossips they heard to each other, some pretended like they didn't give a damn about it but could still be seen glueing their eyes on those three. Luckily it was their break, if not, half of the staff would be having some sort of long way explanation why they didn't work when Erwin walked inside. Smoking hot coffee mug in his hand.

"Good noon, everyone." He greeted, earning nods and polite replies from some people.

"Well hello there Eyebrows!" Hanji used her mocking nickname greetings again while the lovebirds said hi to him.

"Would you stop calling people by your nicknames, Hans? Imagine if someone calls you Four-eyes or Shitty Glasses all the time." Erwin smiled gently even though he meant it, trying to avoid the swearing.

"Oh don't worry, Levi already did that." She replied cheerfully.

"Speaking of Levi, where's the little lad?" The blonde man asked. His face turned into confusion when the three other grinned wide.

"Tell him." Nanaba elbowed Hanji.

"Tell me about your last job?" Levi asked while sitting on a bench with Petra in a corner of their school. Basically this was the place where they keep it pretty private, since it's the place where Principal Pixis has an unconditional love for plants and hedges and he built the school's own green garden and obviously he didn't want anyone to mess it up. The place was pretty anyway so who wouldn't like it, even some young lovebirds dragged each other in here doing what God knows.

"Well," Petra hummed, her legs ghosted above the ground as they were sitting on a pretty high bench. "I worked at a kinder garten. And those kids were so cute! Although there was a time a kid actually got stuck inside the crane machine trying to get a purple giraffe."

"Kids." Levi shook his head after chuckle lightly.

"You see that Erwin?"

Not so far away from where they're sitting, Hanji and Erwin were hiding in a bush, spying on the two. Erwin had despretatly wanted to know more about the Levi and Petra gossip so Hanji took him to a field trip and there they were.

"It's been like centuries since that last time Levi actually laugh at someone's joke."

The blonde man nodded along.

"I know right!" Hanji squeezed "They definitely have something for each other!"

"Hanji, they just met like, last two weeks."

"That's called love at first sight, idiot!"

Erwin sighed heavily in defeat as the glassed woman next to him continued fangirling. Hanji has this really normal habit of fangirling over her one true pair, right now we can say it's Levi and Petra, how a normal friend would do when you have a lover. Although right now they aren't lovers, yet. Hanji just see so much things could happen between them.
Erwin had to admit, that the pair was cute as hell. But he's not the crazy friend type like Hanji. Might because he's still trapped in the single state. Couples like Nanaba and Mike, he could at least stand.

No one could think otherwise because he was actually not noticing he and Hanji was also a great power dual.

"Would you just look at how close they are?" Nanaba took a glance at the hazelnut walking down a hallway with the raven head. They were just having random chitchats, but they were walking so close their shoulders brush against each other."And it's been only a month!"

Yes, time passes quickly. And so was how Petra and Levi got along with each other.

"Levi's face when he's with her. So pure." Mike nodded in agreement.

"Remember when we was young and reckless and we used to walk besides each other like this?" He turned to his girlfriend. The woman blushed slightly and planted a peck on his cheek, standing on her tip toes.

"Of course you dork! How could I not?" She turned her attention back to Levi and Petra. "I wonder how long will it take them to be like us?"

"Well, with this happening, it won't be long I guess." The man said.

At the end of the hallway, Levi'd already waved a goodbye to Petra before she exit that building and walk home. Leaving him behind watching her back with a faint smile on his lips, like always.
