"We'll help you find the portraits, wait right here," Armin motioned for Jean, Connie and Sasha to enter the storehouse without me.

"No way- don't you three have work to do? Levi and I can find it- it won't be hard," I raced to get them to leave.

"Commander's orders-" Jean shrugged, "besides, this is much more interesting than patrol or training."

LEAVE ME ALONE

"Are you sure? There's a lot of stuff in there- you don't even know the portrait I'm looking for-" I trailed off, peeking around them to get a glimpse inside the dark building. "Those portraits are a national treasure you know-"

"They'll be safe in our hands!" Sasha called out confidently, already poking around inside, "describe it."

erhm

"The one that father used to display in his office," I stepped toward the door only to be blocked by Armin, "if you let me in I could help."

"No can do-"

this is the second most unfortunate thing that has happened to me

the first being forcibly ejected from my body

of course

"This one?" Connie pulled out a large painting my father had commissioned of me on the day of my first social event, a tea party.

if i remember correctly-

"You didn't look like that at all-" Levi scoffed, "the dress was blue, not pink."

WHAT

"Are you a fan?" I whirled around to gape at Levi.

"Fuck no."

"Why on earth have you remembered the outfit I wore to my first tea party?"

"Unlike you, dumbass, I have a great memory."

"You're insane."

"You're projecting."

"Then-" I paused, "Sasha, find the portrait from my debutante," I turned back to Levi. "What was I wearing?"

"A light green dress with gold embroidery," he shrugged, like the words coming out of his mouth weren't totally ridiculous. "Your house colors."

"You're right," my frown deepened, as Sasha brought the portrait over, "seriously what is wrong with you?"

every day i become more and more suspicious....

are we certain that levi ackerman DIDN'T swap our bodies

he's kind of creepy

"Nothing."

"I feel violated-"

"I haven't done anything."

"You've displayed a disturbing amount of awareness of my outfits-"

this is the most horrifying thing i've learned about him

"My mother liked them," he avoided my gaze.

that feels like a lie

"I knew your mom and I were soulmates," I grinned, "but you don't have to lie if you secretly had a crush on me-"

"Y/N didn't you-" Jean opened his big ass mouth.

"Shut up Jean, keep searching." Levi shot me a weird look at that comment but didn't say anything.

we really need to figure out how to get them to leave-

"Don't hate me," Levi whispered, before stepping forward and clearing his throat. "You can leave us now."

that's a scary sentence

"We can't leave you alone in the storehouse," Armin protested.

"She didn't want to tell you this but-" he glanced over his shoulder, back at me, "we were just looking for a place to be alone."

LEVI...

YOU DIRTY DOG

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

"Oh oh."

"Y/N isn't that a bit-"

"Don't embarrass her," Sasha elbowed Connie, "have fun you two- we'll just- make sure no one interrupts."

i'm glad that you're leaving but-

NOT FOR THIS REASON

STAY ACTUALLY

"Go," Levi murmured into my ear, wrapping his arm around my waist as the two of us pushed past the knights. "Are you going to leave or stare?"

WHAT IS GOING ON

"Right away," Armin nodded, shepherding the other two away.

"Go," Levi urged again, glancing over his shoulder to make sure they were really leaving as he nudged me forward.

i take back everything i said before-

THIS is the worst thing that has ever happened to me

body swapping demoted to second

"It's fine now," Levi immediately let go of me the moment the door clicked shut behind us, "start looking."

"NO COMMENT?"

"Shh-" Levi covered my mouth with a hand, "they're listening- be quiet."

"No comment?" I asked again, my voice muffled by his hand.

"We needed to get in," Levi let go, glancing around the storehouse, "consider it payback for that time in the tailor."

THAT WAS SO LONG AGO

"You don't let anything go do you?"

"Neither do you."

"Well- of course- I respect myself."

"Where should we start looking?" Levi attempted to change the conversation.

"I think all of those files are stored further in- hold on- you do realize what has to happen now?"

"We have to find a report on that 'Hanji' person," Levi shrugged, walking deeper into the room, "start looking, we only have so much time."

well-

"No Levi-" I followed behind him, "we're going to have to look like we were doing what you implied what we were doing when we leave here-"

THIS IS WORSE THAN WHAT I DID AT THE TAILOR

"Fuck."

"Yeah, fuck."

"Let's just try and find this first- I don't want to think about it."

"Alright-" I glanced around, "you start over there- I'll dig through these boxes and think of the least humiliating way to make it look like we've had sex."

"Don't talk about it."

I CAN'T HELP IT

"Would you rather I think about it? Talking about it is helping-"

"It isn't helping me, at all, shut up."

"Are you sure? Because right now being alone with my thoughts seems like the opposite of enjoyable."

"Don't think about it- that's fucking disgusting."

"Well that seems kind of close minded but I agree- it would be disgusting- with you at least," I muttered, flipping through a box of files.

hanji hanji hanji

i wonder if she's real

i hope she's real

"It wouldn't be disgusting," Levi muttered.

"What are you talking about?"

"I said you're disgusting."

"Oh," I frowned, "if I kissed someone in your body would it count as my first kiss or your first kiss."

"What makes you think that it would be my first kiss?"

"Don't lie- if I haven't kissed anyone you haven't kissed anyone."

"Whatever."

"See- you agree!"

"Can't confirm."

"I guess the issue would be solved if we kissed each other because then it would be- shut up-" I gasped, staring down at the file in my hands.

"I agree- you should shut up."

"No- Levi- I found it."

"What? The solution to your first kiss problem?"

"No- Hanji Zoe- I found the file."
