Mikasa Ackerman, a brilliant teenage girl with a cool demeanor towards those she's not comfortable with, together with the love of her life named Eren, woke up with a headache in a stranger's bed. How did she know she wasn't on her own or Eren's bed? Well, partly the smell. It wasn't the usual scent of sweat and 'sun' if you could call it that, the one would feel when you were with Eren. It was something else… it smelt like pine forest, and a hint of tea? Well besides that, the big shot caller was that when she opened her eyes she was met with a face that was not Eren's. She didn't meet the smile of the tanned boy with green eyes and short unruly hair, but instead she was met with someone that had short dark hair with an undercut, the hair color being much like her own.
Her body immediately stiffened when she saw him. Panic starting to take hold of her mind. Sitting up her eyes went directly to her clothes she was wearing, taking a deep breath as she relaxed a bit. The clothes were the same as she had been wearing yesterday, only exception being that she wore a hoodie over her shirt.
Trying to keep calm, but ultimately failing, she realizes that she has slept in the same bed as a stranger. With panic starting to grow in her body she hugged her knees trying so hard to remember, trying to answer the questions she was asking herself.
Why am I here?
Did I kiss him?
How did I even get in this bed?
What will Eren think of me if he finds out?
Why am I not home yet?
"C'mon Mikasa. It will be fun, I promise." Sasha explained., trying to convince her friend to join her at the party that was being held at the university the two were going to attend when summer was ending.
"Do I have to? I will just end up being the third wheel since several of your friends are going there, right?"
"No, you won't I promise." Sasha answered ecstatic over the fact she was slowly convincing her friend to join her, "If you want we can ask Eren to join us."
"Eren is away at a training camp, he won't come home until Sunday." Mikasa sighed in defeat, thinking that she could at least pretend to be Sasha's bodyguard for a night making sure nothing happened to her, "Fine. I will join you, but don't you dare leave me alone!"
"Yes!" Sasha exclaimed over her victory, "But you're not wearing that." She said as her fingers were pointing at her friend's attire. "You wait there while I look through your closet."
Sighing, Mikasa knew that this would be a long evening.
A few hours later she was standing alone in the kitchen, trying to avoid being puked on, something that had happened an unfortunate blonde girl just minutes ago. Watching through the door trying to get a glimpse of Sasha, the girl had gotten quite early and Mikasa had lost her during the first hour of the party. Her hand ran through her hair while the other touched her red scarf reassuring herself it was where it was supposed to be before venturing out of her found safe place.
Her eyes quickly landing on an unoccupied corner. As she passed a table on her way over there she felt someone tugging on her shoulder. Trying not to give out a blow to the person's face she turned around and was met with a slightly shorter boy that looked like he had taken far too many drinks.
"Y'know…" he slurred, "a girl like you shouldn't be alone here without a drink."
"I'm not alone, and I'm not without a drink." She stated before taking a mug from the table nearby and holding it in her hand. "Now, if you wouldn't mind." Turning around and walking away from him, happy that he didn't protest.
Now standing in the corner that had been eyed out by her a minute ago, feeling regret over taking the red mug, she wasn't someone that drank that often, or in huge amounts. And she was not going to go back to the table to put it back when that boy still was there. Now he was troubling a girl that looked unfazed by his clumsy advances on her. Sighing once again she realized that she had two options on what to do.
1. Either putting the drink on the floor, something she'd rather not do if someone would trip over it, or on a chair which would be catastrophic if someone decided to sit on just that chair.
2. Drinking it and drown the fact that she had no idea where her friend was.
Trying to decide which option was the most appealing someone puked in front of her, realizing it was said friend that had dragged her here in the first place. She chugged the drink, muttering "This is going to be a long night." To herself before helping her friend to the bathroom.
"Thanks, Mikasa." Sasha's mom said to her before getting her daughter out of the party, leaving Mikasa alone.
"Ey, I thought you were here with someone, weren't you miss I'm-to-good-for-you."
Someone felt her thigh, she groaned out something that was supposed to be a 'no' and tried to make him leave her. Just as she was about to suffer another black out she could hear someone starting an argument with presumably the one that had touched her. A headache had begun its torment on her a while ago and the words that were uttered sounded blurred to her.
Someone lifted her.
Everything went black.
Mikasa's eyes went to the shorts she wore, trying to detect if they had been unbuttoned during the night, but was not being able to see a difference from how it was supposed to be. Mind wandering on what could've happened while she had been in a black out she forgot that there someone else in the bed.
As she had begun moving around in the bed the other occupant had woken up and was now watching her fumble with her shorts. He was surprised over the fact that she was already up and moving, considering that she had been sleeping around eleven on the couch after what he assumed was too many drinks.
Mikasa feeling the weight of someone's eyes on her back turned around, meeting a pair of eyes that were gray with a hint of blue looking coldly at her. Trying to calm herself down her thoughts wandered to Eren, touching the scarf that miraculously still hung around her neck. The thought of her boyfriend for two years didn't really help as she now was in the same bed as another person than him, someone that wasn't wearing a shirt she noticed as the blanket he had slept under fell as he rose to a sitting position.
As she looked at him she began losing her composure, did she kiss him? What would Eren think if he hears about this? Her thoughts got abruptly interrupted by the boy as he begun talking.
"You're star-" Before he could finish that statement he was interrupted by Mikasa sitting on his bed.
"Did we kiss?" She asked, with panic in her voice and a slight tremble, breaking their eye contact to look down at her scarf trying to get back her composure and calm she was so proud of having.
Seeing how she is trying to calm herself down by touching the scarf she was wearing he decides to say what would calm her down.
"No." He states calmly while tilting his head. Why would she be so worried about a kiss? She had after all shared bed with him, wouldn't she be worried about something more?
"What about that other guy, the creep?" She asks bluntly.
Realizing that she was talking about his flatmate Flegel, he gets annoyed. That brat had told him that he knew the girl, saying that she was someone that he knew, saying that her name was 'Amelie' and that he loved her while she had been unconscious on their shared couch.
"I don't know." He answered seeing panic growing before seemingly disappearing in her face that looked composed as it once again looked up at him, but he knew otherwise. He had heard her mumbling about someone called 'Eren' in her sleep, presumably her boyfriend he had figured.
If he had been her he would be doing exactly what she was doing, trying to stay composed in front of the man she just had met and shared a bed with. Not showing the panic or the pain that was being felt, not wanting to show the lack of control that was currently in possession. She had shared a bed with him and was probably thinking about her boyfriend right now.
"I'm sorry but I really need to go, I just need to find some stuff." Her voice trembled as she spoke.
Mikasa could feel his heavy stare as she began looking for her phone and bus card in the bed she currently was in. Not finding it on the bed she began looking on the floor failing in finding the two essentials also there. Her headache slowly growing as she searched for her ticket home.
The boy, amused by her poor attempt at finding what she searched for rises from the bed and starts looking through one of his drawers. Finding what he was looking for he turns around towards the girl, noticing that she has stopped and is looking at him, "Tch. Stop staring for once in a while brat and take this." He throws a card at her and she catches it.
Mikasa seeing it is a bus card for students at the school starts to protest, "Wait, no. I can't. It's yours, isn't it?" Pausing before she utters her 'come back' at him, "Midget."
"Tch. Just take it and leave."
"Thank you." Mikasa whispers as she takes another look at the card in her hand. 'Levi' was written in sloppy writing in the corner.
Feeling the need to apologize for the trouble she figured she has caused him she says a faint "Sorry." Before leaving him alone in presumably his bedroom, leaving without her phone that she figured was long gone by now, she hadn't seen it since she had called Sasha's mom to get her daughter away from this place and she was currently not in the mood to search the creep's house to find it.
Mikasa doesn't pay much attention to the interior as she walks down some stairs and finally gets to the front door, glancing at the couch she had crashed in early on she saw the creep laying there sound asleep. Feeling a shiver run down her back she steadies herself and pushes back every ounce of panic that's left. She doesn't need that now, she needs to be in control and feel that her dignity is left. She opens the door and walks outside. Sunlight immediately making her eyes squint and head ache even more.
With a hand in front of her eyes as she stopped in her tracks for a split second, looking for the bus stop. Finding it she starts walking towards it, praying to god that someone that she knows doesn't see her.
Hoping that Sasha could tell her more than she remembers she decides to go there, and at the same time see how her friend felt after the amount of alcohol she had taken under the party, she had after all been unconscious the last time Mikasa saw her friend.
Levi left alone in his bedroom falls back on his bed again, now lying on his back. He was tired, so tired because of the lack of sleep he had gotten since that shitty brat had thrown a party. Sighing once again as he remembers back.
Getting out of the bus he silently cursed under his breath.
That fucking brat was having a party.
Without asking him.
In their shared apartment.
As Levi got closer and closer to the flat the sound of loud music and talking got louder and louder. With a heavy sigh as he reached the front door, preparing for the worst as he opened it. He was immediately hit with the smell of alcohol, sweat, and music so loud it was deafening. The house was packed, at least the living room and kitchen.
Sitting on the couch was the brat that had started this shithole of a party. Flegel himself acting like the smug bastard he probably felt like right now, with him was a raven-haired girl that was half sleeping next to him. Walking towards him with heavy steps, ending up behind Flegel with an expression that could only bode ill to the younger man sitting in front of Levi.
Taking hold of his shoulder and holding them down rather roughly Levi began speaking, "Shitty brat. I sure as hell hope you are cleaning this up tomorrow."
Levi didn't like Flegel, the only reason they shared apartments was since he needed a place and Flegel could share – not willingly, though. but that didn't bother Levi as the agreement made it cheaper for both to live there as they split the rent.
Flegel who turned stiff the moment he felt his flatmate's hands on his shoulder tried to sound as confident as possible as he spoke back to the short man but failed miserably as he instead uttered in a hurry, "Of course, man."
Squeezing his shoulder once again before walking towards the stairs leading up to a bathroom and his bedroom, meeting people his age and younger drinking some mixture from red mugs. Sighing once reaching his room, that compared to the other parts of the house were clean.
Entering the room, he took off the hoodie he wore hanging it on a chair and laying on the bed, trying to drown out the music and loud chatter with his thoughts. Closing his eyes, he relaxed and soon his thoughts were wandering all over the place.
When he opened his eyes again a few hours later it was finally quiet in the house, the only thing one could hear was Flegel's and a girl's voice from downstairs. Deciding to go down and see what was going on with that brat he exited his room and once when he stood at the top of the stairs he could the brat was doing. Flegel sat on the sofa, his hands on the girl that Levi had seen sleeping earlier while he trying to kiss her cheek as she tried to squirm herself away from him.
"Are you fucking serious?" He exclaimed upon seeing the sight while walking down the stairs.
Flegel, who got stunned and felt a shiver running down his spine as soon as he heard the pissed of voice belonging to his upperclassman named Levi. "What, nothing." Flegel uttered without hesitation as he removed his hand from the girl's thigh.
"So, she's not trying to get you away from her?" He now stood in front of Flegel waiting for his answer, something he had already he decided he would ignore.
He would not let that brat be with that girl for another minute, no matter what he had for excuse.
"Nah, her name is Amelie. Y'know the girl I told you about last spring?" Flegel answered as he flashed a nasty grin.
"And that gives you what excuse to touch her while she's half-unconscious?" Levi questioned the boy as his irritation grew for every second. He walks to the couch deciding to take the girl to his room, something he figured would cause some consequences if he wasn't careful with what he did.
Flegel feeling intimidated backs away and watches Levi take the girl in his arms, walking up the stairs but stopping there, "You better clean up in the morning. Brat." Levi said as Flegel watched him disappear into his room with the girl.
"Aw man, I thought I had hit jackpot..." He utters before crashing on the couch.
Levi had woken up two hours later when he felt someone tugging on his shoulder. It was the girl, she looked ill. Sighing as he realized what he had to do he lifted the girl once again and began walking to the bathroom that was opposite to his room.
Once inside he placed the girl in front of the toilet while crouching down next to her, moving the seat and holding back her hair. They sat like that for a while before she puked and then fell back, using his hand as a pillar to not fall on the floor. She hadn't had much he realized, she didn't reek of alcohol like Flegel had and her body hadn't been able to get out much.
The girl let out a groan and leaned her body onto his. He let out a heavy breath and then placed her so she was sitting with her back towards the wall, she was half asleep and needed something to drink he stated. He stood up and walked to the basin under the mirror, taking a small glass placed on a shelf and filling it with water.
Crouching opposite to her he took hold of her cheek while holding the glass up to her lips. He led her mouth to the water and made sure she drank it, making sure she swallowed and so that as little water as possible spilled. It was a struggle but he felt satisfied once he had accomplished the small deed.
She was awake now, touching his cheek lightly and then letting out a giggle. The pink hue on her cheeks was distinguishable on her face now that light was provided from the lamps in the room. Levi relaxed, she wasn't going to puke on him and she was neither an angry drunk or a talkative drunk, something he was happy over. It would be hell all over again if he had to explain to an angry boyfriend why the girl was talking about 'this mysterious guy that watched me puke in the bathroom' when she got home, something he doubted would happen but something he feared.
Placing the glass back on the shelf he followed with lifting the girl once again and heading back to his room. Laying the girl down on the bed she started shivering, the brat he realized was freezing. And rightfully so he thought, she wore shorts and a thin t-shirt a day that was freezing. As he was about to lay down next to her he felt arms wrap around him.
Groaning in frustration he unwrapped her arms and handed her the hoodie he had worn earlier. She struggled with putting it on but succeeded after Levi had helped her with the arms. As soon as she laid down Levi had been able to hear heavy breaths, signaling that she was sleeping again. Realizing that it soon was morning again Levi laid down next to the girl, falling asleep as soon as his head made contact with his pillow.
"Flegel. You can't do this anymore!"
The voice belonging to the headmaster of Rose University interrupted Levi in his thoughts. Climbing out of his bed once again he ventured out to the stairs, starting to spectate what was going to happen between the father and son. The headmaster realizes this though and sends Levi back to his room, saying "This is none of your business boy. I will make sure my son takes care of the mess he has made, you go back."
Deciding to see in which state the bathroom was in after the party, opening the door and seeing that floor was mostly spotless. Just as he was about to turn around and leave a song started playing together with something that was buzzing. To his surprise, it was a song he recognized and could name, 'Vogel im käfig'.
After searching for what he assumed was a phone for a few seconds he found it, laying behind the trashcan under the basin. Seeing the name 'Food girl' flashing on the display as the song continued until it stopped buzzing. Looking at the phone he realized it probably belonged to that girl, and the fact that by now she was long gone so he wouldn't be able to return it to her.
Letting out a reluctant groan he went back to his bed, faceplanting on his bed. He figured that when the school were going to begin in two days he would be able to give it back to her, if she was going to Rose University that was.
When Mikasa had arrived at Sasha's house she had been met with her friend, sitting on their porch eating breakfast with her phone in one hand, and a spoon in the other. Sasha, upon seeing her friend let go of her phone while running towards her friend. Taking her friend into a hug as she threw herself at Mikasa.
"Where were you? I was so worried about you y'know, you didn't answer your phone when I called. Mom only said that she hadn't been able to take you home and that she last saw you…" Sasha uttered while letting go of her friend.
"I think I dropped my phone somewhere, I looked for it everywhere." A lie, "I stayed there, over the night. But how are you feeling? You looked horrible last night." Stated with worry in her voice.
"Me? I'm great, I thought I would have the worst hangover but I woke up at 8 am feeling like a fresh and new human being. You wouldn't mind talking in my room by the way? Dad doesn't really know that I was at a party yesterday and it would be absolute catastrophic if he 'accidently' eavesdropped on us while I talk about puking in front of you."
"No worries, I need to tell you some stuff I wouldn't want anyone hearing…" Voice tracking of as she spoke those last words, headache decreasing to almost nothing as she walked with her friend to her room. The pain had subdued over the hour she had waited for the 9 am bus to Sasha's place, something she was grateful for.
Landing on her bed she begun stating, "So you know that guy that invited you? He's a total creep."
Sasha only nodding to this statement as she laid on the floor eating the rest of the cereal she had brought with her before her friend continued, "Okay. So, I woke up at like 8am I think and didn't find any of my stuff, so long story short I got to take this dude's bus card to be able to get here. He also lent me his hoodie."
Upon hearing this Sasha opened her mouth asking; "Who was it?" before taking the last spoon of cereal, putting the bowl away under a nightstand next to her bed.
"I don't know, I think his name was Levi but I'm not sure."
"Levi? Isn't that quite an odd name. Was he tall?"
"No, not really. I mean, he was a few centimeters shorter than Armin I think."
"Did you get his number?"
Mikasa realizing what her friend was implying threw a pillow at her while grinning, "Ew no. I will not find you someone you can hook up with."
"Aww, too bad." Sasha uttered with a sly smile on her face, taking the pillow Mikasa had thrown at her and counterattacking her friend, making her friend surrender in defeat.
Both girls smiling like fools while laying exhausted on the bed, Mikasa being the one to break the silence with a question she had been thinking about for a while now, "Do you think Eren and I will be able to stay together? He's starting at Maria University after all…"
