"I look damn stupid in this... thing..." Erwin laughs as he told me to wear this pair of jeans, white buttoned shirt, and a brown vest.

Once I started to unbutton the vest, Erwin stopped me. "Dude... come on-"

"I look stupid in this... why do I have you helping me, huh?"

Erwin chuckles, "If you want to make an impression on a cute girl like her, you gotta look... uh... cute to her."

Sighing, I wish I could hold her hand again... it was the weekend... and I still wanted to feel her warm hand that gave fire in my icy cold hands. I was afraid... that I wouldn't hold them anymore. Still missing her scent of her hair, how I longed to smell it. And... I just wanted Hanji to myself. To wrap my arms and shelter her... I'll do anything to keep her by my side...

"Fine..."

He chuckles before left the room. "Oh, uh... quick tip for you. I still think that you should tell her the truth, okay? If you don't want to endanger her... tell-"

"And what? She'll run away from me... and I'll never see her again-"

"Trust me... Levi. It's better if you tell part of the truth. Tell her... that's she's in danger. If you're right about Andrew... Levi, she's gonna get caught between you and him."

"So... you want me to warn her about him?" He nods to respond to my question. There was a chance that I... could lose her. But Andrew was a threat to her... I have to protect her. "Fine..."

"Good..." He stands up, patting my shoulder. "Good luck, Levi... and I hope you get your first kiss soon."

"First kiss? Why is that so important?"

Once more, he chuckles. "It's considered important because... well, it's one of the best starts to a great relationship. And... don't rush anything, okay? Keep it... chill. Don't... hold her hand tightly, don't be possessive-"

"Kinda late, huh?"

"I-I mean... don't go inside the bathrooms with her... don't keep her away from her friends of they come. If you do... you'll draw attention to yourself- hell, maybe some of her friends might fight you for her. Hell, I'm scared when you will get into a fight."

Feeling myself snicker, I know why he says that. The last time he saw me in a fight when we were just talking one day. The same day he knew about me. I swear, some older kids jumped us... threatened us with a knife... Erwin and I left, unscathed. Can't say much about the kids who jumped us... left with scars that will scar them forever.

"Whatever... I'm going..."

Hanji was waiting for me under a tree... wearing a pale yellow shirt and she wore a dark brown skirt. Her hands were in her lap, holding a small book. She looked... like a maiden. The way the wind blew into her face, brushing her bangs out of her face... I know I was far away, but I saw her sparkling hazel eyes...

"Hanji..." I say, walking up to her.

She looks up to me, smiling as she sees me. She tucks her book into her small purse before standing up. As Hanji stood up, her skirt flapped down past her knees; I saw her dark brown boots.

Her hands patted her skirt, dusting off the pieces of grass and dirt. "Levi..." She says with a smile on her face.

My hand reached out for hers, "Are you ready?"

Her giggles are a drug to me... and I was the addict. Why oh why did it have to be her? Why must it be Hanji...?

"Where are we going, Levi?"
