(Levi's POV)

That was suspicious; most times when demons show up asking for something they don't leave until they get it, and use any means necessary. They must already have a plan. I looked over at Eren who was almost asleep in the passenger seat. Should we really go on this hunt or should I find a place to hide him until I'm able to learn more about what they could be planning? I doubt Eren would want to stop now however. I did have him looking for this hunt all day. Maybe I should call Hanji, so that's what I did.

"Hey Hanji."

"Levi! What's up? You and Eren having a nice time?" Her voice hinted at something I didn't want to think about.

"We had a run in with demons, but they left without doing anything. All they did was say that they want to use Eren to free Lucifer and destroy heaven or some kind of story like that. Does that make any sense to you?"

"That's unnerving. They must have something big planned. I'll start looking into it." She said and hung up.

"Mmm Who was that?" Eren asked sitting up in his seat.

"Hanji."

"Oh, how is she and Erwin doing?" He asked happily.

"I didn't ask."

"Oh okay;" He sounded a little upset. "Well how much longer till we get to our destination?" Eren attempted at stretching in the car, but was limited.

"Not much longer."

"Do you think those demons are going to show up again?" He asked while thinking about it.

"Most likely; we're going to have to be careful for a while." I told him.

"Okay, have you ever had a dream so real that you feel it really happened? But you know it has to be impossible."

"Probably sometime before; why are you asking?" I took a moment to look over at him in the passenger seat. He seemed to be deep in thought. Did something happen while he was asleep?

"I just had the weirdest dream, and it was so real it kind of scared me."

"Well it was just a dream, so don't get too worried about it." Though I could tell that is exactly what the brat plans on doing.

(Eren's POV)

I am not sure completely on the setting of my dream; it seemed like a basement with how dark it was. My father was there and a few other people I don't know. He was telling me to do things; like the powers I had just started to get back. I was a kid so I listened to him even though I was scared. Who were those people, and why did they have to watch me so carefully?

"Well we're here." Levi snapped me out of my thoughts. I was happy to have something else to think about now.

"Do you have any ideas about what this thing might be?" I asked happily; wondering if he already had a few ideas.

"We still aren't sure there is something here, and it's never a good idea to assume it is something before you start investigating. You might miss important clues that way." Levi informed me. Good idea; I nodded in agreement. I have a lot to learn, and am not so sure how it's going to be to learn it all from Levi. He's a great hunter and all, but I don't think he's going to be a great teacher. Though I might be wrong.

"What are we going to do first?" I asked.

"Find a place to stay."

"Okay, how about there?" I said when we drove past a somewhat decent hotel.

"I guess that'll work." He said indifferently.

The second we got to our hotel room Levi started setting everything up. I still hadn't had a shower yet today and knew that is what I was going to do first. I stood outside the shower thinking. 'What are those demons have planned?' I may have lied when I said I would stay out of Levi's head, but I convinced myself it was right. If there is anything wrong I should know about it, and I know he wouldn't always tell me, or if he got hurt and needed help I would be able to find him immediately this way. Right now Levi was asking himself the same question. The demons did leave pretty easily, and that was something to worry about.

"Maybe I shouldn't get too worried just yet." I told myself before stepping into the shower. "That would be for the best."

(Levi's POV)

While Eren was taking a shower Hanji called to let me know she had found some interesting activity of the paranormal sort. Most of it was centered in Maine. I was tempted to just tell Eren that we had to leave and get to Maine right away, but he did work hard to find this case. It probably would be best not to tell him. This shouldn't be that hard of a job anyways. We will be a week at most.

(Eren's POV)

So there's something in Maine that we need to check out, but Levi isn't going to tell me anything. How am I going to get him to tell me about it without hinting that I have been listening to his thoughts? Maybe I should try using my persuasive powers? No, that would be too far. Anyways, I did work hard trying to find this job so we might as well get it done quickly. I had just gotten out of the shower when I realized that I didn't bring any clothes into the bathroom with me.

"Oh no." I put a towel around my waist and decided I am going to run out there grab my clothes and run back in. I can do that. As I opened the door and began to rush out I ran right into Levi.

"What the hell?!" He yelled in shock as we fell. It took me a few seconds longer than him to realize exactly what happened. I crashed into Levi as I tried exiting the bathroom, and now I am lying on top of him.

"Sorry." I said quickly as my face started getting red. I quickly got up, but it was too quickly and the towel fell off. Oh god no. Levi was still lying on the ground speechless. I scanned the room looking for my clothes and realized Levi had been bringing them to the bathroom for me when I knocked him over. I grabbed them and ran back into the bathroom. "Thanks for the clothes." I shouted through the door. I leaned against the door; That was mortifying. But maybe now would be a good time to get Levi's reaction? I thought about all the things that could be going through his mind right now or maybe that would be a bad idea. Whatever I'll do it just to see what he thinks of me! I got myself prepared for the worst.

'Holy shit...' It took a while for me to pick up on his thoughts. He was probably just as surprised as I had been. 'Not bad' I could sense Levi's smirk. 'I wonder when his birthday is?' That caused me to jump and I hit my head on the bathroom door.

"Ow." I said even though I wasn't focusing on my head. My whole face had to be bright red by now. Out of all the things I expected that was not one of them, but at least I know for sure Levi is interested in me. That makes things a whole lot easier. I quickly got dressed; still red faced with embarrassment, but it was worth it.
