Chapter 2: First Day
"Why the fuck are the two of you me asking for a place to stay?" Levi growled, glaring at his two friends. In front of his door were Erwin and Hanji, both with a sheepish grin.
"I got kicked out from my dorm." Erwin and Hanji answered in sync. Levi was beyond shock, but then again why was he surprised. These two always have gotten themselves to trouble (Hanji does more often than Erwin though) but it's the first day of school. How could they already get kicked out?
Levi sighed, "I don't even want to know."
"You have to believe me Levi, it was all an accident!" both Erwin and Hanji claimed.
"What the fuck happened then."
Really, the first day went by fast as usual. After his classes were all over, Levi dropped all his books and notes he collected right as he entered his dorm. His schedule was tight for the first semester, having three 50 minute classes back to back in the mornings, with a 45 minute break in the afternoon, and two more back to back classes. Then, he is free at 3. He purposely set his classes that way so he could do everything in the morning. Levi preferred to finish his tasks as soon as it is given, not leaving any room for breaks
For Hanji, first day was fast as well. Since she already learned all of the lecture and information her professors' gave, she was only doodling for most of her classes. Sometimes, she would be excited in one topic her teachers brought up, and almost took over that class.
Erwin.. well… wherever he went, he would have trailing admirers behind him. Most of them were girls trying to get his number. Erwin had this particular aura that no one can explain. his demeanor lures everyone towards him, whether they want to or not. Because of this, he was almost always occupied with people. Even the teachers would keep him busy, sometimes forgetting to teach their class . They were very intrigued with his perspective of the world, government system, and history.
So why were both Hanji and Erwin in front of Levi's front door at 9 pm when they should be getting ready to sleep?
"I want to hear Erwin's excuse first. I can guess why four eyes got kicked out, but how the hell did you get kicked out?" Levi asked.
Erwin looked at Levi and Hanji with his most serious expression he could ever give. He whispered in a serious tone, "The chancellor caught an assistant professor sleeping on my bed."
It took a split second for Hanji to burst out laughing, while Levi glared at Erwin.
"Really Erwin? You had to start off your reputation by being flirting with professors." Hanji laughed, wiping her tears.
"This is getting ridiculous Erwin." Levi told Erwin, still glaring at him.
Erwin sighed, "That young professor is very attractive, but I swear, I did not invite her to my bed. In fact, I don't ever invite women to my bed."
"That is the biggest lie you've ever told us, Erwin, "Hanji said.
"Even my two trusted companions don't believe me," Erwin sighed dramatically.
"Just tell us how the chancellor caught the assistant professor on your bed," Levi said.
Erwin took a deep breathe, "This is the truth. After my 3:00 class, my professor and I had a long conversation afterwards for at least 2 hours. I was exhausted and I wanted to return to my dorm right away. I arrived at my dorm around 7:30, and entered my room. There was a lump in my bed, I wondered what that was. Suddenly, the assistant principle revealed herself, with the most seductive and sexy smile I have ever seen. I cussed of course in shock, and she tried to shush me. She was only wearing her undergarments, and said something like she waiting for me. I had the worst timing because my roommate wanted to complain something about our windows to our chancellor, and entered the room right when the young professor pulled me on top of her on my bed. I admit, I did look suspicious." Erwin explained.
Hanji at this point was in tears, laughing her heart out. Levi shook his head in disbelief.
"What were your roommate and the chancellor's reactions?" Hanji asked, still giggling.
Erwin rubbed his temples, "Of course I got scolded. I tried to prove my innocence, but the young professor felt really ashamed that she made it seem like she was the victim in that situation."
Hanji pointed out, "Don't you get more of a severe punishment if you get caught seducing a professor?"
Erwin smiled, with a hint of sneakiness, "I have my ways with talking."
"That still doesn't help the fact that you got kicked out of your fucking dorm." Levi cursed. He then turned to Haniji. "Now, what the hell did you do."
Hanji laughed sheepishly, "I uh… might have blown up parts of my room."
Erwin chuckled while Levi groaned. In synch, both stated, "I am not surprised."
'"But I swear, it wasn't me who exploded the room! It was my roommate."
Erwin raised his eyebrow, "How?"
"So here's my story. After I came to my dorm at 4:00, I was so excited at what my professor and I talked about before that I started to create an experiment to prove my theory about air bombs. I conducted an experiment that is a bit hazardous, but of course I knew the dangers and how to handle them. I used many dangerous substances like hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, and others, and placed these mixtures and substances in these tubes. I went to the bathroom around 6:00, when my roommate entered the room. She is a nice girl, and doesn't mind my experiments and mess. We created a boundary of my lab table and everywhere else. One of my glass cylinders were steaming, creating air bubbles in the air. I was still in the bathroom…"
Levi interrupted, "Don't tell me you were constipated again."
Hanji laughed, "Maybe, but anyways, I guess she was drinking soda. You know, soda has these chemicals that do not work well with the air bubbles I created. And you can guess what happened afterwards when she spilled the soda on the floor… The air bubbles in the room reacted violently, creating huge explosions. Luckily, she was not injured since I have super fast reflexes and protected her from the explosions."
Erwin peered at Hanji's appearance. She wasn't lying, as he just realized how dusty and raggedy her clothes appeared. He could see several holes in the back of her shirt, and her hair messy as always.
"The explosions were quite loud, and the house keeper of the dorms hurried down to see what happened. And that is how I got kicked out!" Hanji chirped.
"So what do you think triggered the air bubbles?" Erwin asked, completely dismissing the actual issue. Levi on the other hand, scowled. "Why the hell would you conduct your experiments in your dorm. Especially when you have a roommate."
"I think the elements I added in the air bubble is sensitive to soda's carbonation." Hanji answered Erwin. She turned to Levi. "You know when I get bored, I want to experiment something. I also want to prove my professor wrong."
"So since you guys got kicked out of your dorms, are you guys kicked out of the university too?" Levi asked.
Erwin answered, "I convinced the chancellor to keep us in the university, but now we have to live on our own, or find someone willing to share dorms." Hanji pleading eyes bore on to Levi.
His immediate response was," No."
"But Levi, we have no one else!" Hanji complained.
"I already have roommate first off. Second off, you probably just made up that up." Levi said, scowling at Erwin.
Erwin half smiled, "I was just messing with you , Levi."
"Don't fuck with me."
"We forgot to tell you one more thing Levi," Hanji said, smiling a bit too innocently at him.
"No."
How the hell did he get dragged into this mess, Levi thought for the thousandth time. He absolutely had no idea how he ended up being in front of the chancellor's office with Erwin and Hanji, discussing their penalties. Hanji begged Levi to be their "guardian" and file an excuse for them.
"I am sorry Mr. Smith, but I cannot ignore your despicable are a brilliant man, yes, and that can only help you stay in this university," the chancellor explained.
Erwin nodded, "I understand, Sir. But I want you to consider the consequences of your poor decisions. What if I am having financial issues? What if I do don't have a home? What would happen if my dorm was my only shelter? Please Chancellor, what would you do if I don't have a family to live with?"
The chancellor gulped. "Mr. Smith, what are you trying to suggest?"
Erwin slyly smiled, "Nothing sir. I am just worried for my dear friend, Hanji. She doesn't have anywhere to go."
Hanji pleaded, "Please sir, this was all an accident. No one was harmed and-"
The chancellor shook his head, "I can't let exploding bombs slide by. Explosives are considered as weapons, Ms. Zoe-"
"Please call her Hanji, sir." Erwin interrupted rather sternly.
The chancellor gulped again. "Ms. Hanji, dangerous experiments should not be conducted in dorms."
"I read the whole dorm rulebook. There are no rules specifying that experiments were prohibited." Hanji pointed out.
"Four eyes, there shouldn't be a rule like that. That''s common sense." Levi growled.
Hanji pouted, "You're not helping at all, big brother." Levi twitched at Hanji's new title for him.
The chancellor sighed, "Look, do you want me to say it plainly? If you do find a willing soul to let you share their dorms, then you may as well stay in this university."
Hanji beamed at Levi. Levi could feel her pleading eyes on him. He sighed and stepped up to the chancellor, "Sir, I can take them. Are you going to excuse them for their stupid mistakes?"
The chancellor peered his eyes on Levi. "What's your relationship with these two?"
For a second, Levi wondered that to himself. What are they to him? He never called these two his friends. Of course they are more than colleagues but he wouldn't call them friends. It was much more significant than that…
"Companions." Levi answered.
…..
"Wow Levi! I never knew you could find a place like this!" Hanji squealed, observing each room. Erwin and Levi carried in the last of the luggages and boxes to the one story house Levi found. He found a rather simple yet elegant house enough space for the three college students.
"I feel like you set everything up just for me to buy you this house." Levi grunted.
Erwin chuckled, "You really are amazing Levi. Who knew your insane athletic abilities could grant you hundred thousand dollars."
"Those morons bet that they could take me down in a combat. It's their fault for gambling a hundred thousand." Levi said.
Hanji smirked, "They had it coming for underestimating Levi due to his adorable height."
"Say that again Hanji and I will personally kick you out the window."
"That means I can come back right?"
"Shut up and unpack your stuff four eyes."
The three started to unpack their belongings in their new house. The chancellor excused Erwin and Hanji for their "mistakes" and allowed Levi to have the two trouble makers in his care. Levi decided to take him and his two trouble makers to a one story house near their college. Financial aide wasn't an issue to Levi. Levi knows how to earn money quickly and easily: find crazy people who would gamble a shit ton of money. So after beating the losers to pulp, he gained a hundred thousand and bought this one story house for the trouble makers.
"I call this room!" Hanji yelled, running to the room at the right corner.
That left Levi and Erwin with the two rooms from the opposite corner. The two rooms that Levi and Erwin had were next to each other, and across their rooms was a bathroom for both.
"Of course four eyes gets to have her own bathroom." Levi grunted.
"Guess we have to share bathrooms." Erwin said nervously.
"One little misplacement or dust in the mirror, I will make you scrub the floors three times Erwin." Levi threatened menacingly.
The set up of the house was quite symmetrical. Besides the bedroom, many of the rooms were at the center. At the center was the kitchen, and next to the kitchen was a cozy living room. There was a bigger bedroom on the right side of the living room/kitchen, which was Hanji's, and two smaller rooms on the left side. Further down the two rooms was a bathroom.
"Listen you two," Levi started.
Hanji gulped while Erwin had an amused expression. They both thought, "Levi's housecleaner mode time."
"Clean up your rooms every morning when you wake up and every night before you sleep. After you eat, place your dishes on the sink and wash them. Completely dry them and place them in the cupboards in these arrangements I will tell you soon. Hanji, don't ever use your bathroom for your disgusting science experiments or whatever. Erwin, I better not see a random woman in the shower room or in your bed. Every one of us must dust the floors and clean the windows at least once a day and." Levi started to rant.
"is he our mother or something?" Hanji whispered.
"This will be an interesting college year." Erwin commented in amusement.
Indeed, this will be an interesting year for this trio, starting their year in a bizarre start.
Author notes: Hello fanfiction readers! I forgot to mention a few notes for my very first chapter! This is a story that I wrote about 6 months ago, so I am still trying to remember my plot and conflicts for this story. However, the main idea is the friendship and bond between the veteran trio! I love these three so much hehe. I also want to mention that if you're wanting romance or dramas, that will come later. I am still considering whether to write a love triangle or crushes for these three, but this story will definitely contain silly friendship adventures. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
