Chapter 4:

It's been two months now since I moved into my new apartment. Erwin, Petra, Eld, Oluo, Gunther and Levi have been nothing but kind to me.

Well, apart from Levi, even after two damn months he still calls me brat instead of my actual name. I swear the man gets joy from tormenting me. But then again, I'm not one to talk. I must thank him for staying with me for the first five days, now I can sleep without any fears keeping me awake.

"Tali~" Petra sings while poking me with a chocolaty spoon. Get that damn dirty spoon, out of my face.

"What?" I ask while pushing the spoon away from the taller girl as she smiles before quickly cleaning the spoon before continuing her mixing in the bowl.

"I cannot wait for Valentine's day," she sings softly with her cheeks burning a slightly brighter red then her normal rosy cheeks.

I hum softly while nodding my head to Petra as puts the chocolate mush into a bowl, which boiled water under it to melt the chocolate.

Right now, we're making chocolate for the guys, but we're making different shapes for them and putting them into moulds. Thanks to Petra's awesome cooking skills, she is adding bits of high quality ingredients from her restaurant to make the chocolate taste better.

"I can't wait to see the guy's faces," she says while smiling to the bowl while stirring the chocolate as she grabs the cup of cream before slowly pouring it into the bowl. "I can't wait to see Levi's face…" she mumbles to herself as I blink.

"Excuse me?"

"N-Nothing! I was talking to myself," she says with a smile as I see her cheeks redden even more. Ahh, she's embarrassed.

"You said something about Levi's face, want to explain?" I ask while crossing my arms over my chest as I see her cheeks redden a tiny bit more as she stares at the chocolate.

"I… well I kinda… like Levi."

"Like as in, love like?"

Petra only gives a little agreeing whine as I smile slightly to her; the girl has a crush, isn't that cute?

"You and Levi… get along well?" she says a little bit sadly while stirring the chocolate, pouting a little as she stirs.

"Yeah? So? He doesn't like me and I think he's stuck up. It all works out well," I say before laughing a little; so damn true, we almost always argue with one another when we're near each other. Makes me wonder if we're siblings from apart but we look nothing alike, apart from the slightly narrowed eyes, mine aren't as narrowed though, but we either argue like siblings or like newlyweds… wait… weds?

I slap my cheeks a little bit while blinking my eyes; okay, enough thinking weird shit and blushing. No more blushing for you young lady. You're twenty-four and single, you can wait another year.

"Tali, do you have a crush on anyone right now?"

"No, not at all," I answer a little faster then I wanted to; fuck my life.

Petra's eyes shine for a moment, which causes me to give her a glare and she chuckles before stirring the chocolate more. Petra then gives me this 'I-will-fine-out' look as I simply roll my eyes. When you find out, let me know as well would ya.

I bend down a bit and pick out the moulds for the chocolate. Hearts, stars, bunnies and clouds… I think… or maybe puddles; crappy looking puddles.

With a small shrug of 'what-the-hell', I walk over to Petra with the moulds as she gets ready to pour the chocolate into them.

"Hey Tali… I have to say this or else I'm going to hate myself," Petra says while pouring the chocolate in but she has a serious look on her face; well, that is weird to see on her. "If you even do… start to like Levi, it's a fair game for both of us, no dirty tricks."

"Whatever you say Petra," I say while rolling my eyes slightly; Levi and I? I think a better pair would be Naruto and Sakura from the anime… well Naruto, or Sakura with ANYONE! I seriously hate the girl for putting Naruto through all that shit and still latching onto Sasuke, it makes me sick to my stomach.

"I'm serious Tali," she says while giving me her serious gaze before going back to pouring shit into their moulds. "If something does happen, and he goes for one of us, we can't hate the other, okay?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever," I say again before putting up the filled up moulds and softly place them in the fridge so they can freeze, kinda, for a couple of hours.

"So you promise you won't get mad at me if Levi chooses me?" Petra asks as I feel myself clench my fists for a moment, turning them white, before looking to Petra and shrugging.

"Sure," I say which only makes her grin to me before continuing with her cooking stuff while humming.

After about an hour of work, all chocolates are ready but Petra tells me to leave them for another twenty minutes, while we run our hands under cold water for ten minutes; she says it makes our body temperature in our hands go down, which helps us decorate the chocolates without them melting in our hands.

So the next twenty minutes are spent just talking about shit and how the boys will react to it. I bet Oluo will pretend not to give a shit but inside he will.

"Ready to decorate the heck out of these," Petra asks with a smile while pulling the four trays of chocolate out of the fridge before placing down on her kitchen counter, many different methods of decorating around her.

I shrug my shoulders in reply as she passes me half of the chocolates, which are mine to decorate and give.

I have enough chocolates to give everyone one design each, meaning four pieces of chocolate, while each piece is about half the size of my palm.

Everyone's bunny and cloud design are the same while I give Eld, Gunther and Oluo dots on their hearts and stars. Erwin's heart has a yin-yang sign inside while his star has another star inside of it. Levi's heart has a smaller heart inside of his, which his star has a ' XD ' face inside of it.

"Say one of your weaknesses Tali!"

"I have no damn idea what season is what month!" I yell by reaction only to blink at what I said… what did I say again?

I glance to Petra to see her giving me a slightly confused look, which I only grin cheekily at before putting my chocolate on a glass plate and back into the fridge, so the chocolate design may freeze onto it.

Petra goes all out on the designs, which makes my work seem inferior but oh well, I tried my hardest so meh.

After we are done with the chocolate and we both carefully wrap them in red and white, before putting them into a clear bag with a red ribbon around it. I swear to God Petra is such a girly girl to the point that princesses feel like shit to her. Hands down, Cinderella has no shit on Petra.

With all of that shit done, we head to my apartment to pick up my gym clothes, bottle and other shit. Another thing that happened over the two months, the group somehow got me into going to the gym with them, every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for about an hour or two.

With Petra and I ready, we head to Erwin's apartment where he, Levi and Eld are since Oluo and Gunther have some work related shit to do. Overall, I am pretty damn glad Oluo isn't coming, last time he came, he called Petra 'flat ass' and me 'flat chest' which causes Petra and I to start throwing dumbbells at him. Sadly, none of them hit him. Thankfully, Levi punched him in the jaw for provoking us which caused the peace of the gym to be disturbed. Maybe I should throw a fit at Oluo more often.

"We're ready!" Petra calls into the apartment with her orange gym bag over her shoulder, ready and hyper, two very common things with Petra along with worrisome about her friends.

"We heard you, Petra, no need to shout," Eld says to her while giving her a small pat on the head, before leaning down and picking up his black gym bag. Right now, I have a dark purple gym bag over my right shoulder; looks pretty good seeing as it was Erwin's old one as it was too small for him.

Petra gives a childish smile for a second, before grabbing my free hand and starts leading me in the direction of the gym as I glance back to see everyone following after us. Good, they have become puppy dogs. I shall name you all, shit-head, something I call my brothers all the time.

Once we get there, Petra and I make our way towards the changing rooms to change as I change into my black skin tight vest, black and white Nike and navy sweat pants. Petra, on the other hand, changes into a pair of light orange short-shorts and a grey over-one-shoulder tee shirt along with white and brown tennis shoes.

"I'm ready," Petra says to me before pulling me into the training area where the guys already are. Within about twenty minutes of exercising, I am tired unlike the others. I sit down against the wall and take small sips from my sports-bottle filled with ice-tea as I watch Erwin and Levi run on a running-mill-thingy machine shirtless. I am guessing this is what people call 'eye-candy' as they both have six-packs and muscles, though Levi is much smaller then Erwin, his six-pack isn't as defined as Erwin's. If this is eye-candy, then I am loving this. Makes me wonder what a 'beefcake' is then. Are they the same thing?

"I see eye-candy," I say to myself as I spot the two glance to me which causes me to casually wave. The only person who waves is Erwin who looks a tiny bit fluttered while Levi just gives me this blank look before getting back to his running. Ha, his cheeks are a little red so you can't say that didn't embarrass you ya stupid Little-Levi.

Over an hour passes and Petra and I head for the showers, which are like little stalls with showers, the stalls themselves normally go to your shoulders but since Petra and I are short, they go over our eyes slightly.

"Enjoy the exercise?"

"I guess," I answer back while running my hands through my wet hair to get rid of the sweat, before grabbing my soap and giving my body a quick wash. I stand in the warm water for a couple of moments, before feeling the heat slowly fading away so I grab my towel and leave the shower with it wrapped tightly round me.

I quickly dry off and change into my normal clothes; a black baggy jumper with a white tank top under it as well as white and black tartan jeans. A simple yet amazing look, if I don't say so myself as I am vain like fuck.

I follow Petra out to the group while stretching my sore arms as they ache from the abuse that is exercise. I could really use a God damn neck rub and many other type of rubs for my aching body.

"If I don't reply to anything tomorrow, I am dying in my bed from the soreness," I say to the group as Petra and I are in the middle, Erwin and Levi in front of us while Eld stays at the back, looking around at everything that we pass.

"If you die, I'll throw you a nice funeral," Erwin says with a chuckle as I give a dry laugh back; that is such an Erwin joke.

"I won't come," Levi says while glancing back to me with one of his 'cool' expressions before looking forward, turning back to Erwin to continue their conversation as Petra starts humming a song, which I do not know.

I looked ahead of the group and spotted a shop that I love; as in, if it was human, I'd marry the mother-fucking shop.

"Hey, can you come with me to get something?" I ask the group as Petra simply smiles and nods, Erwin and Eld gives me a short nod and Levi gives me shit like I expected from him.

With a nod to the group, I quickly walk into Greggs with Petra as we head for the front counter. Call me a pig but I pick like seven different things from the menu.

Three yum-yums, ELEVEN tottening cakes and some other things like donuts and cupcakes. I also order a hot chocolate with extra cream, milk and some little marshmallows which cost extra. Being the amazing bitch I am, I order Petra a hot chocolate as well as her own tottening cake as she says she has never tried them.

I also order everyone their own hot chocolate though I listen to Petra for their orders; Levi likes his strong with no cream or milk, Erwin likes his with cream but no milk while Eld is the same as Erwin.

With everything in my bag, I go out and give everyone their hot chocolate, getting thanks from everyone for once. Believe it or not, everything cost me a little over eighteen pounds.

"You spend so much on junk."

"It's not junk! Levi, this is my life," I say with pride as I take a small sip from my very posh little cup which has this amazingly sweet hot-chocolate in it.
He only gives me a dead dry chuckle, before taking a sip from his own cup as I take a yum-yum out of my bag to nom on; I seriously love Gregg's pastries.
After about twenty minutes, we all get to the apartments and we take our separate ways as I lock the door behind me, throw my food onto the coffee table before switching the television on, food all ready for the newest Hannibal episode in about five minutes.

I leaned back in my seat before clicking my fingers. I quickly sprint to my room and change into my black sweatpants with white stripes down them along with an oversized light red shirt from my brother, Paul. He won't be missing it anyway, it doesn't fit him anymore.

Once I am done changing into a more badass person, I grab a marker and a reusable white board.

I write on it,

'I am watching the newest episodes of Hannibal, double episodes so DO NOT DISTRUB between the times 'four – six' in the afternoon. Lots of likes, Tali'

With that done, I grab a random pin from my table before making my way to my front door. I unlock it, open it and pin the board to it before closing it. I quickly make my way over to the loveseats before throwing my awesome self at them. I am ready for some mother fucking gore and death!

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

I sigh to myself while quickly biting into my yum-yum, who the fuck didn't read the sign?

"Ivs urvun," Translation, 'it's open'.

I hear the door open and then close as I continue to nom on my overly amazing yum-yum, which is more amazing then chocolate.

I lean my head back against the loveseats to see Levi walking into my amazingly plain living room before sitting down beside me, taking my cup of hot chocolate and sipping it like it was his own.

"This is sicken-ly sweet."

"Who the fuck told you to drink my hot coco?"

"No one, it was right there and I was thirsty."

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IN MY LIVING ROOM?!" I yell at him while taking my hot coco back and putting it back (gently) onto the table, seriously, I didn't say 'drink my coco' or 'invade my room', then again, he would have done it even if I said not to.

And then I notice something, he is shirtless and it is just going into spring.

"Why the fuck is the eye-candy shirtless?"

"Which damn question do you want me to answer?"

"The first one would be the more appropriate choice but I am leaning towards question two more."

"The heating is broken in my apartment so it's like a fucking damn hot spring in there," okay, now I see why he's shirtless.

I only sigh a little before stuffing the rest of my yum-yum in my mouth before taking a sip of my coco to wash it down with.

Levi is such a weird person; it makes me question why he comes into my apartment if he knows we argue like children.

I glance to the man before glancing back to my television as the opening of the first Hannibal episode starts. I keep the squeal inside as I pull my legs up to cross them, ninja style, before grabbing my bag of shit and pulling it onto my lap for consuming.

"I came here for one reason only, to watch the double episodes of Hannibal."

"Who the fuck invited you?"

"No one, stupid brat, I invited myself since the heating professional said my electric would be going out when he fixes it and I'd rather not watch it then have to stop because it cuts," damn, Levi is a Hannibal fan… he is now slightly more bearable.

I shrug my shoulders to him as the show starts and I place my food between us, before grabbing a pillow to shield myself from the gory scenes. I love the show, but sometimes the images are so bad that I either cringe or yelp… or hide behind a pillow.

The newest chapter begins with a man having his vocal cords being an instrument, which makes me shake, holding onto my pillow as Will, one of the main characters, actually starts to play the dude like an instrument.

Levi stays silent the entire time while I make these small sounds of shock and disgust, I half expect him to comment on my scared badass noises but he doesn't.

During the break, Levi makes a break for the kitchen as I stretch in my seat before rushing to my bedroom for my bathroom. I need to pee before I pissed myself.

With my business done, I wash my hands before running for the living, just sliding into the room as I see it has already started without me as Levi holds my cup of… hot coco in his hands. Seriously bustard? You went to the kitchen and you couldn't be bothered to make your own cup?

"What happened?" I question while jumping into my seat before sitting down, grabbing a Tottenham cake from my bag of shit.

"Will knows who it is and now Hannibal is in a session with the villain's friend," he says as I raise a brow before sitting down. Damn, shit got real.

The rest of the episode is mostly a fight scene between Hannibal and the dude whose name I can't say as the friend dies, Hannibal looks like he is about to get beaten before he kills the villain, being the badass cannibal that he is.

"Well, that was eventful," I say while chewing on my cake as Levi just nods his head while taking another sip from my hot chocolate.

"How can you drink this sugar shit?"

"Why the fuck are you still drinking the 'sugar shit'?"

Levi only shrugs his shoulders before taking another sip from the drink as I roll my eyes; an indirect kiss, which only makes me laugh. Ha, sucks to be him, I don't care about that shit.

The next episode, I actually yelp slightly at the scenes before hiding under my pillow. Levi has the audacity to laugh at this which makes me throw the pillow at him, hitting him straight in the face which makes me laugh.

"You'll pay," he barks before throwing the pillow back at me, which hits me in the face before my eye twitches, oh it's on now!

"Fucking prick!" I yell while throwing the nearest pillows at him, which makes him growl in his throat. Oh shit, I just got an ex-army man to growl at me… BRING IT ON BITCH!

I actually chuckle at his annoyed look, before I am tackled by him as I feel my back hit the back of the loveseats.

The next couple of minutes are mostly spent throwing threats and insults at each other while hitting each other with pillows. And I call myself mature.

"Die you vermin Bitch!"

"Go bite a puppy you lazy-ass-girl!"

"Oh go bite Petra you womanising twat!"

"Oh I'M womanising?! Who is the girl who flirts with girls instead of boys?!"

"I'm bi! Get over it!"

"Wait… you're bi?" Levi actually stops from whacking me with my own pillow to stare at me with a slightly confused expression.

"Yeah, isn't it obvious?"

"Fuck no; I would have known if it was obvious," he says while narrowing his eyes down on me before whacking me in the head with my OWN pillow. Bitch please; get your own damn pillow!

I glare at him for a moment till something clicks in my head. Oh Tali, you're such a mean person.

"Wait; is someone jealous that I prefer flirting with girls over guys like you?"

"What? Are you taking cocaine or something? Get over yourself brat," Levi sneers at me slightly as I notice the ALMOST unnoticeable redden on his nose and a little bit on his cheeks. Oh~ someone IS jealous!

I decide to tease him by sitting up straight and look to the television as the show continues but I do not remove the satisfied smirk from my face. Yes Levi, feel the satisfaction from knowing that someone like you can get jealous!

I hum softly to myself while picking up my last yum-yum from my bag and bring it to my mouth, only for my mother-fucking yum-yum to get snatched from my hand.

I glare at Levi as he holds my yum-yum and actually BITES INTO IT! The mother-fucking midget is eating my yum-yum while watching Hannibal on MY television!

"Dude, get your hands off of my mother-fucking yum-yum."

"I don't see your damn name on it."

"Off of my yum-yum!"

"Take it then, without your hands that is," he says with a smirk as he takes another bite OUT OF MY YUM-YUM as I actually glare at him and his dirty trick.
You wanna play dirty with my yum-yum; I'll play dirty straight back for my yum-yum.

With the nicest smile I can give without my eye twitch, I grab his chin with a slight tight grip and pull his face towards me as I grab onto the other end of my yum-yum before taking it back. Bitch please; I'd clean the floor for a yum-yum.

Levi just stares at me as I eat my yum-yum in victory; he actually blushes a tiny bit more, probably from my face being near his, before glaring at me and turning back to Hannibal. Beat that bitch, don't mess with my pastries.

"You're blushing," he says as I roll my eyes, I rarely blush dude.

"No I'm not."

"Check the mirror brat," I glare at him for a moment before grabbing my phone, bring up the camera option before making the camera on the front of my phone turn on, meaning the one on top of the screen.

To my demise, my face is a little red, but that might be from all the yelling. Yeah, that's it, it's from the yelling.

"It's almost six," I say to myself as I chew on the last bits of my spoiled yum-yum as I see Levi yawn slightly to himself before blinking his narrowed eyes before looking to me. "I say we get a take-away~"

"No, we had one with everyone last night."

"But I don't feel like cooking."

"Fine," he says while standing up, stretching for a moment till loud clicks are heard which make me cringe while he sighs. With the clicking done, he walks to my kitchen and I hear my shit being moved about.

I raise a brow to this before getting up and going to my kitchen to see Levi, at my freezer, investigating what is inside like my freezer is a crime scene.

"What are you doing?"

"Making dinner," he says like the sky is blue while glancing to me as I shrug my shoulders before walking up behind him, looking into my freezer as he does the same.

I slowly lean over his shoulder to pick up the bits of salt and pepper seasoned chicken breast. Levi stares at it for a second before grabbing it and taking out the egg fried rice and spring rolls out with it. Oh we're having spring rolls, vegetable ones; egg fried rice and salt and pepper chicken breast. Lovely~

I decide to help, slightly, by preparing the stuff on a tray while Levi starts to preheat everything and set everything up, as I wait for the 'okay' so I can cook the shit.

Once he is done, he takes the trays from me to put them in the oven while the fried rice goes into the microwave to cook.

"Dinner should be in half an hour."

"Movie night," I randomly say while heading back to the living room and over to one of my bookshelves which has nothing but movies in them. I take out a few chick movies like 'Easy A' but that is one awesome mother-fucking movie I tell you. The rest are mostly adventure and comedy movies as well as ONE romance called 'What Happens In Vegas' as it is simply amazing in MY opinion.

Levi simply gives me a 'you're kidding me' look as I just childishly stick my tongue out at the man as he simply grabs a pastry from my bag, before flopping down beside me.

Damn and I thought he hated sweet things. Well, sweet hot chocolate at least. Damn dude needs to get his own damn coco.

After about the second or third movie, I actually start falling asleep, leaning on Levi as his shoulder makes a pretty good pillow; who knew a midget could be used as a pillow? A midget pillow… maybe I should buy a plain pillow and write 'midget' on it… AND THEN GIVE IT TO LEVI! Most epic pillow in the whole god damn world, hope everyone heard that.

"Levi," I mumble slightly while hugging my pillow closer to me, moving my head slightly to get into a more comfortable position on his shoulder.

Levi just grunts slightly in his throat but he doesn't move me off of his shoulder, so I am guessing he is letting me sleep on him. I smile a little at that before closing my eyes fully as they were half open.

"Good night," I mumble again before taking a slow exhale, letting myself relax where I am. Truthfully, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep on someone after… Cameron. But Levi, I feel at ease when I'm around him. Probably because I know he won't hurt me on purpose… and if he probably did, it would be playful like with the pillows.

"Night," he whispers softly as I smile a little before letting my body relax against his arm, only for him to move it so it is resting on top of the loveseats. I freeze at this, unsure of what to do till he taps my head, moving it towards him as I smile a bit more before using him as a pillow again.

So he does have human emotions… who knew?
