"Well, are you going to stand there and watch me all night or are you going to sleep?" I asked, Farlan.

i mean feel free to watch but-

"I'll be going now," Farlan nodded stiffly.

you've been hanging around all day at least give me a second to relax

i haven't really had time to think about my conversation with levi earlier

and i still need to write that letter to ymir and historia

i don't want to do that with farlan looking over my shoulder

it'd be smart to send something back home- that i definitely don't want farlan seeing

"Sleep well," I waved goodbye, shutting the door behind him.

ok- i'll give him a little bit to leave and then-

Farlan had given me a tour of the estate as soon as we returned from visiting Levi.

to his credit, he didn't leave anything out

from what i've heard about levi he has sleeping problems, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see him walking around at night

like a ghost

i just have to avoid farlan

harder than it sounds

I sighed pacing around the room, trying to gather my thoughts of everything that had happened earlier today.

i don't know what he's thinking

the only thing i do know about levi ackerman is that i don't like him

he is the one who pushed me into the water right?

he was planning on using that as a bargaining chip

was farlan in on it?

I brought my hands to my neck, a chill running down my spine as I recalled the sound of my own choked voice gasping for air.

im sure that-

im sure that i died

i drowned

and somehow that's one of the least alarming things that has happened in the past 24 hours

if i go back into my real body what happens?

do i die for real?

calm down y/n you don't know if you actually died

i'm pretty damn confident

and what even triggered this?

we wasted all of our time planning a contract and never discussed what might've caused the swap

aside from levi immediately accusing me of doing it

did i?

if i had that power i would've chosen a different person to swap with

anyone else

maybe we would actually figure it out if i had swapped bodies with farlan or that couple making out in the bushes

I walked over to a mirror staring at my reflection, watching as two dull gray eyes stared back at me.

he isn't unattractive

I practiced scowling at myself, laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

i wonder if he's sitting in my room practicing a smile

"Enough moping Y/N, you have work to do," I murmured to myself, leaning toward my reflection in the mirror. "You aren't shit Levi Ackerman."

let's go find his office

I crept towards the door, glancing down the hall to check if anyone was wandering around.

all clear

that's slightly refreshing

it's probably a hard adjustment for levi- there's almost always a guard following me around

the people of his house must feel comfortable with his abilities to protect himself

and farlan must've forgotten that i haven't had any training with that sort of thing

The heavily carpeted floors masked the sound of my footsteps as I walked down the hall, trying to remember where the room Farlan had pointed out as his office was.

im going to be unstoppable when i learn directions

hot, attractive, sexy, not directionally challenged?? what more could you want??

three of those r the same thing

WHATEVER

yeah im doing well so-

"Young Lord?" An unfamiliar voice called out to me, stopping me in my tracks.

maybe i spoke too soon?

"Yes?" I turned towards the voice, mentally cursing myself. A young maid stood at the end of the hallway, frowning slightly.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND ANYTHING LIKE LEVI

"Farlan told us to not let you anywhere near your office," the girl took a few tentative steps forward. "I know it isn't my place but on behalf of all of the staff we want you to take care of yourself."

THAT BASTARD

"What did Farlan tell you?"

"I-I really mean it you've been overworking yourself and you fell off that balcony at the ball-" she stammered, clearly nervous but managing to stand up for herself anyway.

oh

you're cute

MY ONE WEAKNESS

"Don't worry," I relaxed, "I wasn't going to my office, I was looking for the kitchens."

i give up </3

farlan you win this one

I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME

"The kitchens?"

"That's right, I'm craving something sweet."

i give up trying to act like levi

more like-

how could i curse and scowl at this adorable girl

"You-" her frown deepened slightly but she didn't continue her comment.

as soon as i get my body back

the first order of business is to free all of levi's staff from his tyrannical rule

I'LL TREAT YOU BETTER !!

"There isn't anyone in the kitchen right now, I'll help you," she overcame her nervousness beginning to lead the way down the hall.

thank you

"What's your name?" I asked, following close behind her.

yeah-

"Marlene," she murmured in response, a slight blush flooding her cheeks.

oh

does she like him?

i feel bad for her

"Thank you, Marlene," I shot her a small smile.

can't exactly help it im just that charming

but it isn't levi being kind to her

it's me

im worried

what's going to happen to my relationships with those im closest to if levi's in my body?
