The Beast And A Beauty

Chapter 4

"Wake up sleeping beauty~" A High tone voice crackled. That voice was oddly familiar. Opening his eyes, Levi saw light brown eyes staring right back his and being way too close. He could also see the grime covering the pair of glasses and cringed, pushing the face away.

"UGH! Do you even clean your glasses Hanji?! They're filthy!" Levi frowned as they only laughed, a cheeky smile plastered on their face as choking sounds came from their mouth. They laid a hand against his shoulder and he tried his best not to gag.

"Washing my glasses?! Who does that!" They snorted and started laughing again, which ended up making them lose focus on their form and they turned to a slight mist as they fell through Levi, Who shivered from the cold feeling it gave him.

"S-sorry about that!" They hummed as they reappeared again, straightening the crooked glasses while giving him a goofy smile. Levi huffed and crossed his arms, looking around curiously.

"So.... what do you guys even do here?" He murmured curiously, did they even do anything? Well if they didn't that'd be boring.

"Oh well we clean up for the master, feed him, do what we were given to do.... Oh! I sometimes also read at the library!" Hanji smiled while Levi's eyes brightened somewhat. Would he be allowed out of this room to read?! Oh he hoped so, they kept him prisoner here so they might as well allow him to read in the library.

"Um, if it isn't a problem am I allowed to go to the Library?" Levi questioned and leaned forwards, hoping they would say yes. Hanji only tilted their head and smiled excitedly.

"You read?! Oh that's perfect, Eren sure got lucky with you!" Hanji burst out laughing while grabbing Levi's wrist and dragging him out of the room, slamming the door behind Them when Levi walked through. Levi raised an eyebrow but didn't question their odd tactics. Why was Eren lucky to have him here? He was about to question what they said but suddenly they turned around to grin at him.

"You're going to love our library" Levi frowned, confusion written over his face but also a hint of curiosity. Wasn't most the same? The very few at the villages were practically identical, small but comfortable and felt like home. Would this be any different?

"I thought most would be the same, they're practically the same at my village" Hanji Turned to him and gasped with wide eyes

"Wait really?! Oh so if it is the same as ours -which I doubt- then I guess you wont be surprised -which once again I doubt" Levi let a confused 'Huh?' out but it seemed Hanji had now blocked his talking out, only focusing on the destination they were heading to. He didn't mind it as much as it should have though, it gave him time to think about everything that has happened lately.

"ARMIN~ YOU GOT A VISITOR" Levi winced as Hanji practically screamed into his ear, Tugging -more like dragging- him into a much much much larger space then anything he has ever been in before. Bookshelf's stood everywhere, filled to the brim with many different shaped, colored and sized books. 

Levi gasped slightly at the amount of books there were, he couldn't believe a library could even fit this many. And the smell. He absolutely adored the smell of books, they had their own smell and usually it depended on if they were new or old. Old books usually had this weird but still nice smell, while newer ones smelt fresh like pine.

Levi smiled slightly at the many books, excitement filling his being and fingers itching to explore this place. A door opened and Levi turned to see the familiar blonde from before exit a room by the doors he hadn't noticed before -He was guessing that that was the office-. A pair of glasses resting on the bridge of his nose and a fairly large book gripped tightly in his hand. He smiled at Levi who gave him a nod in welcoming.
