In Love With an Assassin (LevixEren)

Chapter 15

AN: First of all I want to apologise that this chapter took so long to publish, my life's been pretty hectic this last couple of years, as many others have too, but I won't bore you with the details. Secondly, thank you all so much for 4.6k reads. I never imagined people would enjoy my story this much and it makes me so happy and proud that you do. Also I've decided to get rid of the character Arran. With that said, hope you enjoy the latest chapter and I hope to hear your thoughts on it. 

Levi's POV

It's currently half five in the morning and me, Eren and Hanji are preparing to head back to England. I'm in the bedroom packing away everything we'd taken with us while Hanji and Eren made sure the living room was clean and tidy. Thoughts of what was to come flooded my mind and I stopped packing to think. Most of my thought were centered around meeting Eren's sister. I'd been told that we're a lot alike, but that doesn't really give me any idea on how to behave around her. Sighing I finished packing because I knew that focusing on it wouldn't help matters, instead I went to find out how the other two were doing. Eren had finished tidying and I assumed Hanji had left to check out because they weren't in the room.

"Hey, Eren?" The bright eyed boy turned to face me.

"Yeah?" 

"Do you have any advice on how to talk to your sister? I'm honestly a little worried." He smiled at me reassuringly.

"I was wondering how long it would take for you to ask that, but worry less because I do have some hints you may find useful. Mikasa will definitely bombard you with questions, mainly about your job and what your intentions towards me are. So having a detailed and realistic cover story would benefit you greatly." Eren appeared lost in thought for a split second. "Does that help?" I didn't respond for a moment because I was processing what I'd just been told.

"Yes, that does help. Thank you Eren." His face lit up in a way that it seemed to sparkle. I set to thinking up a believable life story that wouldn't appear suspicious or illegal. After a few moments I decided to do it on the car ride back, staring out the window and letting my mind wander may help generate some ideas.

Me and Eren made our way to the car to wait for Hanji. It took them ten minutes to emerge from the hotel with Erwin and Arran. So that's were they'd been. I noticed then that they were basically being held up by the other two, and were stumbling quite a bit. They had better not have been drinking, if they have, then they're dead meat walking. When they got here Erwin opened the door and practically dropped Hanji into the back, were me and Eren were sitting. Before Erwin could explain Hanji finally noticed where they were and grinned.

"Heeyyy, short stack!" They slurred. "I got juusst a tinny bit drunk, sooo could you drive?" Hanji passed out before I could even glare at them. I wasn't going to get a chance to think up a cover story now. I grumbled as I switched seat about breaking Hanji's microscope.

Once we were on the road I asked Eren to think of a fake profession for me, one that his sister would believe. Eren sat in silence for a while then brought up his idea.

"Why don't we tell her that you're new to that area, and while you were out job hunting you noticed someone carrying me out of the orphanage while I was unconscious and beat them up. You took me back with you, but I had amnesia when I woke up so you took care of me." 

"That sounds ok, but what about the phone call from Scotland?" Eren pondered this for some time until a light bulb went off in his mind.

"While I was with you, a friend of yours who lives in Scotland asked you to visit for a funeral or a wedding and because you didn't want to leave me alone you took me with you. While we were there I happened to trip over, hit my head and regain my memories." That seemed like it could work. I put on some music while I drove so that we weren't sitting in silence.
