Tell me something sweet to get me by

Chapter 4: Brother-In-Law?

I let out a low groan as I sit up slowly from my spot under my mountain of blankets. I glance around my room, finding that Hanji had made herself comfortable and curled up on my pillows.

I think back to last night, things had gotten weird after Hanji brought up my...personals. After fighting with her for an hour to try and get her to shut up, she had launched herself at my nightstand. To my utter horror, the little psycho had pulled out my...er...glass item? I had to chase her around to get it back and then violently scrub at her hands with a baby wipe.

I silently note to clean the...you know...later.  I shudder, thinking of having Hanji Germs inside me.

No.

God, no.

Jesus take the wheel, no.

Hanji had then made us stay up till four in the morning playing Cards Against Humanity. While it was hilarious and I won most of the rounds, we have school today and I’m currently running on three hours of sleep.  I reach over and yank one of my fluffy pillows out from under Hanji. Standing up to get a better angle, I hold the pillow high over my head and swiftly bring it down to hit Hanji right in her pretty little face.

Her eyes snap open wide, hands coming up and latching onto my ankles. “Oh sh-” Before I can finish, my feet are jerked from under me causing me to fall hard back onto the bed.

“Ohoho! Little Levi thought he could get me, now didn’t he?” She hops up quickly and makes her way to my doorway. “Oh and Twinnie! Hurry up, we have to go to school soon! First day for me, I get to see the cutie who stole my baby's heart.” She turns and skips down the hallway to her room.

One day I am going end her.

Sighing, I roll onto the floor and crawl over to my dresser. I pull open a random drawer and take out whatever my hands land on. My pajama pants discarded, flopped on my back, I yank a pair of ripped, black skinny jeans over my thin legs. I grunt and stand up, switching my top out for a black shirt with the words “If God hates gays, then why are we so cute?” printed on it in white writing.

Hanji had gotten me the shirt for my 16th birthday. Every time I look at it, I can’t help but giggle hysterically. It’s my pride and joy.

I roll my eyes at my reflection in the full length mirror on my door. I reach under my bed and grab my white high top converse. I quickly put them on. Lastly, I grab my white, slouchy beanie before skipping downstairs like the dork I am.

“Hanji!” I call out for her.

She steps out of the kitchen and raises her eyebrows at me. “Yo.”

“Can we go?” I whine.

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s get outa here.” She grabs my hand and drags me out the door. I walk quickly down the path and hop into her truck. Yes, hop. I’m short. Okay?  

And No, I am not rushing because I want to see Eren. Of course not.

Blump-a-dump

“Here we are! Our lovely new school.” I wave my arms at the windshield as Hanji pulls into a parking spot.  

“Yay!” Hanji shouts. “Ooh! Is that him? No?” I roll my eyes at Hanji’s enthusiasm. I get out the truck before she can ask again.

“Hey, wait up!” She slams the door shut, she then proceeds to leap on to my back.

Obviously, this results in us both toppling to the ground and attracting way too much attention, in my opinion.

I groan, my face having met personally with the black top on the school parking lot, while Hanji rolls happily off my back.

I hear someone walking quickly towards us. Not wanting to show my face to the person who witnessed my wipe-out, I keep my face attached to the ground. “Are you okay?!” I begrudgingly allow Mr. Mystery-Witness  to softly pull me up by my arms. I look up to see who could possibly be treating me like fragile glass after I had just crash landed, face first to the ground. Excuse me, friendly stranger, but; I am obviously very unfragile.

Oh god. It’s Eren.

Oh god. He saw me fall.

Fucking Hanji.

“Er I ah mmm..,” I see Hanji slowly begin to grin out of the corner of my eye. “I’m ah fine. I’m fine.” I smile sheepishly at the brunette, who is slowly pulling his hands from me. No, wait, stay.

“Good! Uh I’m mean uh good...that’s good.” He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly and I can't help but think of how cute he is. He perks up a bit after a moment. “So, I guess I never really introduced myself!” He straightens up and holds out his hand. “Hello, adorable stranger with pink earphones. My names is Eren Yaeger, and it is very nice to meet you.”

I blush a dark shade of red while Hanji giggles manically to my side. “I- I’m,” Hanji laughs harder at my insistent stutter. “It’s nice to meet you, too.” Eren raises his eyebrows expectantly. “Oh! Um I’m Levi.” I blurt. How could I have forgot to tell him my name of all things? Doesn’t he already now it anyway from class? This brat. “This is my twin sister, Hanji.” I gesture vaguely in her direction.

“Twin?”

“Yep, we’re fraternal! I got the smiles and he got the resting bitch face!” Hanji says ecstatically.

For real, though?

Turning to Hanji, I scrunch up my face to look excessively grumpy. She giggles and grins like the Cheshire cat...and it’s creepy. Nightmares-For-Months-Creepy. I cringed.

“Hanji..,” She grins impossibly wider. “Hanji, stop it.” I whine.

“No.” She whispers.

“Please, Hanji…” I take a step back.

“Let me borrow your CDs again?” I swear to Go-

“Fine.” Fucking dick mangling…

The bell rings loud across the parking lot. “So, I’ll see you in class?” Eren begins to back away to the school.

“Yeah, you’ll see me.” I mutter, waving weakly at him.

“Great! See you later, Levi. Nice meeting you, Hanji!”

“Nice meeting you too, future brother-in-law!” Hanji waves at him.

“What?” Eren and I both blush dark. I can’t believe her.

“What?” Hanji says, straight faced.

There is a long pause, Eren staring at Hanji. “Well, bye!” Hanji says before dragging me ahead of Eren, and into the school building.

I’m going to die.
