"I'm telling you- I'll go back to normal if you just let me see her-" I groaned. Farlan had insisted on getting me to see a doctor.

i think ill go back to normal

i hope that ill go back to normal

i can't think of a single good thing about this body

"Deep breaths," the aforementioned doctor murmured, unphased.

"I don't understand-" Farlan began to complain before realizing that someone else was in the room. "We'll talk about that after you're checked."

FOR WHAT ??

FLEAS ???

IM FINE

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the Young Lord," the doctor said after an aggravatingly long pause to read over some clipboard. "Perhaps it's only lovesickness?"

ABSOLUTELY NOT

"That's ridiculous," Farlan laughed at the idea.

actually- hold on

"Yes! That's exactly what it is- I'm hopelessly in love with Lady Y/N!" I could only imagine what Levi's body looked like saying these words, "in fact I'm so head over heels for her that if we spend any more time apart I'll be broken beyond repair!"

woe is me </3

"Are you serious?" Farlan quickly ushered the doctor out of the room.

"Completely."

"You had to have hit your head."

"Would I lie to you?"

yes

"Well-" Farlan's resolve was weakening, "you wouldn't humiliate yourself like that if it wasn't important."

RIGHT EXACTLY

"So? You'll let me go?"

honestly, i don't know my way around this house at all nor do i know who to talk to if i want to prepare to leave

i'm guessing that farlan would be able to do that for me

knowing that he was able to call for a doctor- and he was ordering around some of the maids earlier

"I'll call for a carriage," he gave in. "If it was reciprocated she would come here you know."

is that really what you think?

"I'm going there to woo her myself," I paused. "Even if I wasn't, what makes you think she would be able to do that?"

actually, im sure that if levi is in my body he's struggling to do just that

"Why? I mean if she was really that interested she would approach you first, you've already tried to have meetings with her several times in the past-"

HUH ???

"-not that any of those were about romance."

THANK GOD

"Think about it, she's from a neutral house there's no way that her parents would let her go around visiting members of other factions, it would lead to complications."

did levi think that?

"Did your conversation with her go well or something? You've never mentioned that before," Farlan nodded, agreeing with my statement.

right- not only is he the asshole who made me drown he's an asshole who wasn't considering my side of the story

typical

i wasn't expecting anything better from him

"It went as expected, she turned me down immediately."

AND I LOOKED HOT DOING THAT

"Oh," Farlan paused, a disgusted expression overtaking his features. "Are you into that or something?"

HUH ???

"Wha-"

"I mean you've suddenly developed feelings for her after being turned down-"

WHY WOULD YOU EVER THINK THAT

wait

since when have i cared about levi's reputation?

"I find it extremely attractive," I mustered my most deadpan expression.

this is levi's face so i don't think i have to try that hard

"Oh."

"Shall we get going?" I stood up heading to the door.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT

FARLAN HURRY UP AND LEAD THE WAY

ALL OF THIS CONFIDENCE IS FAKE

"Right away," Farlan led the way out of the room and towards the main hall.

ill try and remember the way

no you won't

no i won't...

you'll be judging the interior design and completely forget where you're going

yeah </3

predictable

STOP BULLYING ME

it's tacky

agreed- i should change it before i leave this body

"You're dozing off," Farlan pointed out, the two of us now well on our way towards where my body was supposed to be staying.

"Is it a crime to think?"

"Only because you've been so talkative."

it's a crime to not act like levi and it's a crime to act like levi i see how it is

"This is another part of the best friend test-"

"Sure thing."

Silence fell between the two of us once more.

don't worry farlan

hopefully after this meeting we'll go back to normal

if i have to kiss him or something beforehand i can- not that i want to

there really isn't any guarantee that things will sort themselves out as soon as i see my actual body

but god do i hope that's all it takes

"You know," I broke through the quiet, "you're a nice person."

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED LEAVING YOUR JOB ??

"What do you want?" He replied unimpressed.

"Nothing! It's just that I must be difficult to work with."

farlan has been working with levi since they were children, right? i wouldn't have lasted

"So you finally admit it," Farlan teased back.

they're awfully comfortable with each other

i doubt i'll be able to convince him to work for me

BUT MAYBE-

"We've arrived," a coachman came around and let us out.

right this is it

they have no choice but to let us in

im sure levi knew that and used it to annoy me

"Are you sure she's here? She may have already returned back to her estate."

im sure

i had a few more tea parties and useless social events to attend before i returned home

i doubt they would take me home

"I'm sure," I nodded, looking up at the manor my family kept in the capital to attend events.

let's get my body back-

The two of us began to make our way up the marble steps and into the manor.
