The PBC

Chapter 37

Levi sighed as he sat on the stage. He was graduating, finally. And even better was that he didn't have to give a stupid ass fucking speech. Top three was great, but he wasn't valedictorian or salutatorian, so he didn't need to say shit! Hanji and Erwin, however, weren't as lucky.

So through the introductions, speeches, and handing out of scholarships, Levi was bored shitless. Yes, he got a good number of scholarships, but he was supposed to take over his father's business and to make sure he did it right, Kenny was going to pay for most of his tuition.

Levi looked out to the crowd, scanning all the stupidly happy, or equally bored faces, until his eyes caught one he couldn't look away from.

Eren was sitting next to Kenny, much to his original dismay, smiling brightly as he looked at Levi. Even though the start of the relationship started under shit circumstances, they've been together for about 18 months. Levi's longest relationship to date, and he seriously hoped it'd continue to last.

After the last incident with 'The Bitch', Eren and Levi somehow managed to get even closer. And Eren had turned Levi into a fucking sap. A serious fucking sap. Like, on Valentine's day this past February, Levi bought Eren a dozen red roses and a fucking huge ass teddy bear. After graduation was over, they were going to go to Levi's father's beach house to celebrate Levi graduating and heading off to college. They just wanted some time to actually be alone and fucking cuddle, because for the last few months, Levi's been busy with college shit, and he will be the entire summer as well.

Soon diploma's were being handed out and Levi didn't even try to smile for any camera's going off. He didn't give a shit, Eren wasn't holding the camera.

That was a new thing too. Levi actually smiled around Eren. It was becoming more frequent and every time, Eren would fucking smile like Levi just gave him the world, followed by the most sappy statements that the boy could make, though most the time he'd slip into one of the ten languages he knew.

Eren know knew not only Japanese, Italian, Latin, Spanish, German, Turkish, and French, but also Russian, Swahili, and Chinese. Levi had given up on trying to decipher which was speaking when, unless it was French or German, because Eren spoke those the most.

Finally, FINALLY, after two fucking hours of mostly sitting on his ass, graduation was over and the graduates were out of the auditorium. Levi just stood outside by the front doors, where he had told his friends he'd be. He expected to see Hanji barreling through with her happy as fuck smile, waving her forest green cap around with the white and blue tassel barely hanging on. Instead, he got Carla.

"Hello dear." She said, giving him a hug. Carla had seriously grown on Levi. When he was over, she'd tell him about his mother, only after making sure it was alright, and would joke around with him and Eren. She was a sweet woman with a strong will and Levi definitely could tell who Eren took after the most.

"Hello Carla." The older woman smiled as she pulled back.

"I still can't get over how much you look like Kuchel. Resting bitch face and all." Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, but playfully.

"Oh thanks. Did she also just sit there bored off her ass during graduation?" Carla giggled.

"She actually fell asleep on my arm in the middle of one of the speeches."

"That was you dear." Grisha said as he came out. "Drooled all over her robe." Carla turned to him with a smile.

"True, true." She giggled lightly. Then turned to Levi. "So, you're going to college for business to take over the scheiß Wichser?" Carla asked. Levi nodded.
