Eren was laughing hard, holding his stomach tightly doubling over.
It was a joke.
It was not a very funny joke.
But because of the person who told the joke, it made it so funny that he had taken lease of his senses. Eren could blame the wine he forced himself to drink later so, until then he laughed until tears rolled down his cheek.
"Wasn't that funny." An angry noble hisses out, he spun around and huffed off.
Corporal Levi watched the noble until he was out of sight, then went over to the young man who was now holding one hand against the wall, balancing himself. The older man patted the drunken soldier lightly on the back, trying hard not to let his lips curl upwards.
It was true the joke he told was not that funny and he never thought Eren would react to it in such a large way. Turning his back to the party crowd the Corporal at last allowed himself to smile, not because of the joke but because of the panting grinning moron who was staring at him from the corner of his eye.
"Last time I'm letting you have wine." Corporal Levi mumbles to his now giggling soldier.
