"Jaeger!" Levi called through the empty hallways. He still wasn't use to being so tall. They've been like this for two days. Eren, in Levi's body, turned the corner and tripped. A few centimeters is a lot when you're not used to it.
"Yes, Captain?"
"Did that woman figure this out, yet?"
"No. She's just questioning how the titan would work."
"Shitty glasses..." The now taller wobbled to the table. "If I have to sleep in that basement one more time..." To prevent suspicion, they've had to sleep in the room of the latter. The only people that know are Erwin, Hanji, and Mikasa.
"But I deal with sleeping there every single night. Can't you just be patient and wait for Hanji to figure it out?"
"Come here." Eren winced as he walked closer.
He gasped as the back of his head was hit. "Captain I-"
"Eren! you can't do that to Captain Levi!" Armin's shrill voice cut through the room.
"W-what are you doing here? The mansion is empty." Eren said, then covered his mouth. He forgot about their situation momentarily. He watched as Armin saluted for a moment and took Eren's body by the hand.
"Sorry. Hanji is looking for him. She said that she had to test a possible solution about the problem with the switch. I don't know what it means." As Levi was pulled, he looked at Eren. He scowled and jutted his head towards where he was being dragged.
"I'll-" he cleared his throat. "I will take him. You can be with your little friends." He saluted again and scrambled off. Is he scared of the captain? Eren evaluated the though. Who wouldn't be? They walked to the place where she was.
"Good! You're both here!" She smiled, too widely for Eren's liking. "It's simple. Try hugging again."
"That's it? If that was the solution, we wouldn't be here right now." Levi snapped. Before he could say any more, Hanji smashed them together. he's such an angry person, but he is really warm. Nothing happened. Levi pulled away. "Fix this. Now."
"Do you know what was going on when this happened?"
"How the hell am i suppose to know?"
Eren thought back. He remembered he anger Levi had just before they switched. he also remembered the counting... "It was at midnight!" Eren shouted.
they looked at him like he was insane. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"I heard outside. They were counting down. When it hit one, i remember feeling a shock in my body. I don't remember much after that until I woke up."
"You guys were out for three whole minutes! That is-!" she said, then turned around and wrote on a notebook. "You guys have to work on using each others bodies until i figure out what to do. i suggest you two help each other."
"I can't stay like this." Levi snapped again. "I have shit to do."
"Then take Eren with you." He grunted and pulled Eren and used his as a kind of crutch as he walked back to his office.
Minutes later, Eren was sitting on the couch in Levi's office, while Levi sat behind the desk, trying to work. Levi wasn't paying attention to anything but his work, so Eren laid back and noticed how clean and orderly everything was.
Eren was woken up by a hand on his chest. "Wake up!" He opened his eyes to see his face and jumped. he remembered the previous days and sighed. He was still stuck in his captains body. "Don't sleep here. Go to your room or something." Eren was having a hard time keeping his eyes open. This was gonna be harder then i thought.
When he woke up the next time, He was in Levi's bed again. Only this time, Mikasa was at the end of the bed. She broke the silence. "What did that short-stack do to you?"
"He didn't do anything. It just... happened." Eren sat up. "You don't have to blame him for everything, you know."
"It helps to blame someone, and I'm not gonna blame you."
"If you're gonna blame anyone, blame Hanji. She made us hug."
"Hey. Get out of my room." Levi was in the doorway.
"Technically, it's his room." she said pointing at Eren.
"Technically, I can have you stationed to where you can't see him ever." She scowled and walked out. Eren stiffened when he came closer. "Don't feel special. I'm coming to clean up my room. You live like a slob." Eren looked around, but only saw a cup that was knocked on the ground sometime, while he was sleeping. He remembered that he fell asleep on the couch.
"How did I get here?" Levi looked away and walked across the room.
"You were cluttering my office so I had you put here."
"Who did that?"
"Why does it even matter?"
"It doesn't, i suppose."
He was going to say something but Hanji busted into the room. She shoved a glass in each of their hands. "Drink." Levi looked at it, unsure, while Eren smelled it. It smelled like roses and dirt. He tasted it with the tip of his tongue. It tasted kind of sweet. he sat up to the side of the bed. He stood up so he could give her the cup afterwards. He drank half. The aftertaste was horrible.
Eren found that he couldn't breath. He couldn't see very well either. everything was going dark. his head started hurting and the last thing he saw was the bright pink substance all over the floor and feet running to him.
