For the first time in six hundred years I have awaken.
The sound of a wooden door being opened echoed off the walls, the first sound this old house must have heard in years. Taking in my surroundings I notice I'm not in the same area I was when I had first decide to sleep "Fucking Erwin" I muttered under my breath, this must have been his idea then again my idea of falling asleep for so long may not have been the best one either. I ran my hand through my hair sighing deeply, "this place is fucking filthy" noticing the thick layer of dirt and grim coating the place, I decided it was time to take my leave.
Descending the stairs I soon realize that I'm not the only one in this god awful place "No guys tonight's the night I can feel it!" Hanji spoke in an overly excited tone
"Hanji, you say that every wednesday. 'tonight's the night, tonight's the night' we've been waiting on him for two hundred years now" a young blonde boy replies. I continued to listen to the conversation through the door that led out of the cellar.
"Armin really, this time is different from all the others I can really tell" Hanji replies sounding a bit annoyed "look can we just go down there and check?"
"Hanji, you know what Erwin said to us we aren't allowed to go down there, no exceptions" another voice replied, one that I knew all too well, Eren. I made my move, slinging the door opening and shocking the trio in the empty room. "Dumbasses you fucks are too loud" I spoke Hanji was the first to speak pointing an arm in my direction "see I told you guys" she yelp in delight walking towards me to wrap her arms around me in a chokehold of a hug
"I've missed you too Hanji" I choked out struggling to get out of her arms my eyes locked on the sea green ones in front of me, she finally got the hint once eren cleared his throat.
Making my way across the room to where he stood reaching out to touch his cheek not making contact but ghosting his skin "how long has it been?" "To long" Eren breathed in deeply seeming frozen in time. He hasn't changed I've noticed in the thousand years I've known him, same tanned skin same passion in his green eyes.
"Je vous ai manqué" I spoke forgetting the two other bodies in the room, Eren leaned in to my touch putting his forehead to mine "as much as I love it when you speak french we don't have the time for a proper welcoming" he said moving away from me "right Armin?"
Armin nodded his head confirming he had heard eren "Right, Erwin would want us back right away now that he's awake" his voice loud and a bit tense as he started heading for the door Hanji and Eren behind him.
"Well" Hanji stopped to look at me "come along, it's been years and we have a lot to catch up on" so I followed hooking my arm into hers as we walked "he's missed you too Levi just give him some time a lot has changed in the past six hundred years you know" she nudged me in the side chuckling. A bit down the path armin leaned closer to eren talking in a tone that was barely audible
"so that's him?" he asked
"yeah, that's him-"eren answered "still as charming as ever"
