Chords [Ereri]

Smoke

A/N: I have thought about adding songs to some of the chapters, so I guess this is the right time to start.. just to create a mood. Please listen!

"Ereen!" I heard a familiar voice shouting. I turned around and stared right in to the face of a white haired person with a big moustache, wearing a messy black suit and a loose necktie.

"What th-Oh, Hanji!" I said, suddenly recognizing her grin.

"Heey! How are you? Are you having fun?" She shouted, still holding on to my shoulder. I smiled back at her and held up my cup.

"Yes, ma'am!"

She laughed and shook her head. "Don't drink too much.. Nice costume by the way! Did anyone find you yet?" I nodded. "There was this super-man guy I bumped in to earlier who almost spilled his drink on me.. Hey, who are you dressed as?" I furrowed my brows at her.

"The father of science himself, Albert Einstein!" She said, proudly. I nodded slowly, thinking the costume fit her personality perfectly.

"Nice."

"Have you found any guys yet?" She wiggled her white eyebrows. I shook my head and took a sip of my drink. "Nope not really looking either, I was just on my way out to get some air, It's way too hot in here!" She nodded agreeingly.

"Yeah.. you know why?" I shook my head again.

"It's because I'm here!" She started cheering and fist pumping, and suddenly everyone else joined in on her cheering. I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways, have fun, don't freeze to death out there, It would make the decorations in front of the house seem more convincing, but I'd rather not have to deal with the stench afterwards." She said, looking at me seriously. I laughed, "Hanji, you really are a strange girl." She grinned at me and turned around, forcing her way back in to the crowd.

I reached for the door again and opened it, taking a deep breath when feeling the cold air against my face. I closed the door behind me and moved down the stairs, away from the few people sitting on the porch. I walked across the front lawn, checking out Hanji's incredible decorations. They were even more realistic up close, the details on the graves and the zombie hands were amazing, making me wonder if they were actually real human hands. I stepped away from the grave and took another drink from my cup, emptying the contents. As I got to the end of the lawn, finishing studying the different decorations, I saw something in the corner of my eye.

There was figure at the corner of the house, leaning against the wall, smoke coming out of their mouth. I squinted my eyes trying to see who it was, finding it difficult because of the alcohol in my system making my vision unclear and because they were standing in the shadows.

"The fuck are you looking at?"

I jumped at the sudden voice, realizing that the person was staring directly at me.

"Ah, nothing!" I said, a bit too loud. A cloud of white smoke escaped his lips. He stepped out from the shadows and my heart leaped when I saw who it was. Fuck.. where is the invisibility cloak when I need it?

"Then why are you still looking at me?" My eyes widened and I turned around, about to run back to the house when he spoke again.

"I didn't tell you to leave." I turned towards him slowly. Stay calm, Eren.

"Sorry.." I slurred.

Levi raised his brow at me.

"Are you drunk..? How many of those did you have?"

"Three." I said, staring down at my cup.

"Aren't you too young to drink?" He said in a bored tone. I looked up at him, first now noticing the cat ears sitting on top of his head. "Nice ears," I said, smirking. He took another drag of his sigarette before stomping it on the ground, a last cloud of smoke escaping his lips.
