Your lie (Levi • Reader)

24. Always gonna be together

"Because she wouldn't be able to control how much everyone is drinking."

Naturally you were late already, but that didn't matter. With hasty motions you decided on what to wear, lastly choosing a large sweater and some comfortable leggings due to the cool weather outside.

On your rapid way out, you didn't notice Eren, who was coming from the opposite direction. Without any of you realising, you two rushed through the hallway.
"Eren!", you brought out with your eyes suddenly widening, just inches away from the stairs and almost colliding with him.

Because you slowed down at once, you slipped on the smooth surface.

"Careful!", Eren warned, but slipped out as well and both of you fell on your butts clumsily.

You looked at him and he at you and both of you started laughing at the same time.
"Somehow I always end on the ground, when meeting you.", he brought out.

"I'm sorry.", you apologised in amusement.

He stood up and held a hand out for you, which you accepted.
"Thanks."

Eren warmly:
"No problem. This time I understand why it happed on your fist day."

Quickly you started jumping down the stairs, smiling up to him.
"Let's go, all of the others are waiting for us."

On the wide area of the backyard, right in the middle, there was a huge fire burning and shining brightly red.
"Amazing.", Eren and you whispered at the same time. He looked at you and his stare lingered a little longer with a large smile on top.

With a giggle you caught his wrist and ran to the others.
Besides that some of them were already drunk, nothing really surprised you.
Hange was the most drunk, but she didn't display any untypical behaviour.

Hange with amazement:
"Look at this beauty...", she gazed at the light of the campfire.
"You're so... hot...", she smirked mischievously.
"Hello pretty... you let my heart burn like a thousand mosquito-stings, right into my skin."
Thereupon she got closer.

"Hange!", you yelled loudly and held her back from the danger in the middle of the large circle of gathered people.

"(Y/N), let me go! I want to be with him, look, he's calling me!", she giggled with her eyes on the fire.

You sceptically looked over and just saw a big campfire in the middle of the yard.

Hange, hiccuping:
"Hehehe, look, he's winking at me..."
Then she started blinking with her eyes chaotically.

"Eeeh... Hange...", you softly put her hand over your shoulder.
"Let's go to the infirmary."

"What?! No!", she bursted out.

"Hange, you're drunk.", you carefully and silently said.
"Let's bring you away."

"(Y/N), I'm fine, I swear. I was just playing, hahahagaga and all of you fell for it."

Yet again you eyed her sceptically.
Then Hange turned to you and tried to stand upright and uphold a firm stance, but her legs wobbled unsteadily.

"You should know (Y/N), I can take alcohol and control myself after. I'm something like Levi 2.0."

You smiled in response.
"Hange, you can't even stand straight."

"Doesn't matter! Only the will counts!", she proudly shouted, as if exclaiming a message of national importance.
Tears flowed down her reddish cheeks as she screamed:
"I love the life, love the sky, love the alcohol and the gamy rhyme!
Please don't stay silent, continue loud, so that we can hear your shouts!"
