inside the storm - SNK modern day! AU

they're right there!

"Levi, don't you think that thing is getting a bit too big?" a blond haired man asked. he was driving a big white car, and Levi sat right next to him. "i'll bet you the tornado is over 3 kilometers wide already. if not, i'll treat you dinner tomorrow at Charleston's Restaurant." Levi smirked slowly. "deal." the blond haired man answered, chuckling. they kept driving the long and lonely road. there were no houses, nor cars anywhere near them. the tornado had appeared out of town, and thank god for that. the blond haired man sped the car up, eager to get a closer look at the rotating monster in front of them. Levi grabbed the blond haired mans hands with a tight grip. the blond haired man turned his head, slowly releasing his foot from the speed button. "Stop it Erwin, you know we shouldn't get too close to tornadoes this big, and especially not when you've got that weird look on your face." Levi exclaimed as he looked at Erwin right in the eyes. he then removed his tight grasp from Erwins hands. "what kind of look do i have on my face right now?" Erwin asked confused, as he went back to a more normal driving pace. Levi turned his head and looked out from the front window, staring at the tornado. "you legit look like someone holding a shit, like it depended on your life." he then slowly said. Erwin wheezed, laughing a bit. "you have a very special kind of humor, Levi." he managed to say.

Erwin and Levi both worked together when it came to storms. Levi loved chasing storms, it gave him a feeling of the rush in danger. something he didn't feel very often. on the outside, Levi just seemed like a normal guy. he was the owner of a tea shop, and no one would in their wildest minds think he liked this sort of thing. he met Erwin and started talking more to him because he was a regular. he always came right before he was about to close his shop, and always ordered the same two things; a cup of black coffee and a cheesecake. even though it was a tea shop, Levi served coffee too, although there were only three kinds to choose from. when it came to ordering tea there were way more options. Levi had a few people working with him in the restaurant. those people consisted of a woman called Petra, and three men called Eld, Gunther and Olou. Levi, although hardly showing it, highly appreciated them and all that they were doing for his tea shop. Levi called it a 'Tea shop' even though it was also part cafe. they could order tea, coffee or hot chocolate, and a bunch of different cakes and dessert. and then they could also buy the same kind of brand if they liked it. one of Levi's current concerns were if he should also make it part bakery. this was still going through huge thought process though.

"Levi, isn't this close to your neighborhood?" Erwin suddenly asked, bursting Levi out of his thoughts. he looked through the windows, and noticed how the houses in the distance looked quite similar to him. "wait... isn't this were your niece lives!?" Erwin shouted, unconsciously driving faster. Levi slowly recognized the houses, one by one. at last Erwin drove past Eren and Mikasas house, and stopped the car. Levi ran out of the white car in a hurry, and kicked the locked door open. everything inside the house looked normal, except there was an empty atmosphere. "Mikasa! are you there?" Levi called out, walking inside and checking every single room. "Levi, i think they evacuated. we should try and find them." Erwin put a hand on Levi's shoulder, to calm him down a bit. "i know, but where? they can't drive, and my house was locked." Levi said, ignoring Erwins hand, and moving outside of the house again. "maybe we should drive back, they could have walked past us maybe?" Erwin asked, throwing an idea out there. Levi nodded, and walked out to the car with Erwin right on his tail. "it's worth a try, i suppose." Levi said, as he put the seat belt on.

they drove away from Erens house and decided to drive away from the tornado, to see whether or not Eren and Mikasa had passed them without notice. after 25 minutes, Levi had had enough. "ok that's it, i'm calling Mikasa."he said. Levi pulled his phone out of the pocket in his black jacket, and dialed a number. "you better pick the fuck up..." he mumbled to himself. both Levi and Erwin were getting nervous. Erwin was tapping one of his fingers on the steering wheel, and Levi was stomping his foot down into the bottom of the car repeatedly. slowly but surely, she picked up. Levi sighed of relief, thank the walls.
