I know reincarnation AUs aren't everyone's cup of tea (hell out of all the snk fan fiction I've read, only one was a reincarnation one and I was so far into the story before it was revealed that I couldn't back out) but I had the idea for this one and I could shake it out of my head and had to write it out. So I'm so glad so many of you guys are enjoying it, reminds me this isn't a wasted effort. Enjoy!

Levi's POV!

It wasn't until Wednesday evening that Levi found himself back on campus. Eren had just gotten a new job which meant he had less free time. And although he didn't really have to be there, neither him nor Levi pointed it out. And Wednesdays they closed earlier, which meant today Eren was available.

Levi was standing awkwardly next to his car while Jean walked around the car, admiring it and asking Levi questions. Levi hadn't even let Jean anywhere near his car until he thoroughly reviewed his driver's license.

He asked Levi to pop the hood now, and they were both standing next to each other while Jean admired the motor. He kept asking more questions and when he ran out, they stayed quiet for a while.

Levi was sure Jean had asked him every question possible to mankind involving cars, so he assumed they would be quiet until Eren showed up. He was surprised when Jean asked him another question.

"Do you love him?"

"My car is a she, excuse you,"

"I meant Eren,"

Levi looked away from Jean and cleared his throat. He didn't know if he did and he was just about to say so when Eren appeared behind them.

"Sorry I'm late," he was panting, "some idiot with his demon spawns came in five minutes before closing and not a single one of them knew what they wanted and then I got to the bus stop just as the bus had pulled away and had to wait for the next one," he had been speaking fast, as though he had to explain himself. He was bent over with his hands and his knees, his head hung low, trying to catch his breath.

After a couple more seconds, Eren stood up straight, his face a little flush, but that wasn't what caught Levi's eye.

"Umm, Eren?" Levi cleared his throat, "where exactly is it that you work?"

He took in Eren's uniform. He was wearing light wash jeans, very well fitting ones he might add, and a pink and white vertical striped button up shirt. But the selling point was the white cap he wore that barely manages to control his wild brunet locks.

"A candy store, why?"

"You look ridiculous man," Jean burst out laughing.

Levi took note of how much more Eren flushed when he chuckled. Eren looked almost betrayed.

"Well I guess you won't get any candy then," it seemed as though the comment was more directed towards Levi, yet Jean was the one who asked the question.

"What kind of candy?" it wasn't until then that they noticed Eren had been holding a small pink bag in one hand. Jean reached for it, but Eren pulled it away.

"You won't like it, it's dark chocolate,"

"Yuck, that's disgusting. You're an ass,"

"Relax, I gave Marco a bag full of candies for you two yesterday,"

"Yesterday?! And he didn't tell me," Levi wanted to laugh at how Jean looked so hurt over something so simple, but he decided against it.

"Guess he doesn't love you," Levi didn't even have time to react before Jean had punched Eren in the arm, "shit,"

"What the fuck?!" Levi asked, he was about to punch Jean himself but Eren started laughing and rubbing his arm.

"That was a good one, your response time has gotten quicker," he said.

Jean shot him a smile, "thanks man,"

Levi stood their dumbfounded, not sure what to say. He still didn't quite understand what had just happened. The next thing he knew, Eren was acting as though nothing had happened and offered the bag of chocolates to Levi.

"What if he doesn't like dark chocolate?" Jean pointed out.

Eren looked hurt, and turned to Levi, "do you?"

"I love dark chocolate, it's my favorite," an obvious wave of relief rushed over Eren's features and he shoved the bag into Levi's hands with a soft blush. Levi gave him a gentle smile and reached into the bag and popped one in his mouth. It slowly melted and he relished in the taste, it was delicious with the perfect ratio of bitterness to sweetness.

"Anyway, can I drive the car now?"

Levi watched as Jean pulled out of the parking spot and drove himself and Eren into the street. He had decided to stay behind and wait back for them on campus. He knew he would have just sat there and criticized everything that Jean did, and he wanted them to enjoy themselves.

He was leaning against one of the building that provided a good shade and took another chocolate from the bag.

"Corporal,"

He looked to see a young women, with black hair and a red scarf wrapped around her neck even though it was hot outside. She had called him corporal, which meant she was another one of the ones from the past life.

"Hello," he said, politely, "I don't remember you, I'm sorry,"

"Eren told me," she held out her right hand towards him, "I'm Mikasa,"

Realization hit Levi and he met her hand with his, giving her a firm shake before letting go, "Eren's sister," she nodded.

Neither one of them said anything after that. She stood next to him. He offered her a chocolate as way of trying to end the unbearable silence.

She shook her head, "if Eren gave those to you, I suggest you don't share with others unless he approves. He'll get upset,"

Levi immediately retracted the bag, "thanks for the warning," the last thing he wanted to do was upset Eren. The disappointed face Eren had made when he thought Levi might not like the chocolate had been enough for him to know he didn't want to see that face again.

"My brother is sensitive, but I'm sure you'll be able to take good care of him,"

Levi almost choked on the chocolate he had in his mouth, "Eren and I are not together," he said

"Levi, it took me a long time to accept your relationship with Eren in the past. I find it hard to believe you two worked so hard to make your relationship work for it to die now,"

Levi thought about what she said, she had a point. At least he though so.

"We had lunch together yesterday," Levi turned to face her as she spoke, "Eren and I, he told me about you," Levi felt his face grow a little hot, what had Eren said about him?

Mikasa looked down at the pavement and Levi caught her lips turning up ever so slightly, "it was so much like the first time he told me about you, except that time he was telling me about you two being involved romantically. It was as though he was trying to convince me you were a good person. Of course, then, I needed more convincing than I do now. Back then he was trying to convince me you two were perfect for each other, that you were perfect for him. Yesterday, he was trying to convince me you were a good person in general. He said you had a good sense of humor and that you bought him donuts and that he liked to be around you. He said he couldn't wait to see you today.

But what really made it so much like the first time was how he talked about you. He couldn't stop smiling when he talked about you. Every time he said your name his smile would get bigger and he would catch himself rambling on and on about you and blush and slow down but he still wouldn't stop," Mikasa shook her head and laughed. She met Levi's eyes.

"I know my brother, and even if he hasn't figured it out yet himself, I'm pretty sure he has some feelings for you. Whether those are romantic or platonic or what have you, he has them and he cares about you," her eyes turned a little dark and Levi felt like taking a step back, but forced himself to stay put, "so you better not do anything to hurt him," she glared at him.

Levi was surprised at how fast her expressions changed, "you won't have to worry about that. I haven't figured out my feelings myself, but I do know I care about him and want to be near him, to be his friend at least. And I don't do things to deliberately hurt my friends,"

Mikasa nodded at him. They stood side by side and talked some more about little things. It turned out Mikasa was the one that had suggested to Eren he buy him dark chocolates, when Eren said he wanted to repay him for the donuts. She said she had remembered they were the only sweets that Levi liked in the past life.

Levi felt comfortable with Mikasa, their conversation was easy to have. At some point Mikasa gave him her number and told him that if he every needed any help involving Eren, she would be happy to assist. Levi thanked her and they continued to talk until Jean and Eren pulled back into the spot in front of them.

Eren immediately jumped out the car, "Mikasa! What are you doing here?"

"Considering how excited you were yesterday, I figured you would come here straight from work without changing," she reached into her bag while Eren blushed, "I brought you a shirt," she tossed it to Eren who in turn tossed her his white cap and ruffled his hair.

Eren looked down at his shirt and started to unbutton all the buttons, Levi was staring at his chest with every new patch of skin exposed. He was slightly relieved when Mikasa nudged his side with her elbow and he realized what he was doing, it would've been more embarrassing if Eren had caught him. Levi blushed and pushed himself off the wall and walked over the driver side of the car.

He put his hands on the window pane of the car, Jean having rolled the window all the way down, "you can get out of my car now,"

Jean groaned, "do I have to?"

"Yes!" Eren called out, he was next to Levi now, wearing a t-shirt, "it's my turn,"

"You heard him," Levi opened the doors and they waited until Jean got out. Then Eren immediately slipped inside and Levi closed the door.

Jean stood sulking a couple feet away from them, "but he didn't even clean anything,"

"Shut the fuck up, Jean,"

Levi chose to ignore them as they continued to bicker. Instead he looked to Mikasa, "do you want to come with us and drive it after?"

Mikasa shook her head and went to stand by Jean, grabbing his arm and effectively making him stop arguing with Eren, "we have class,"

"Oh fuck," Jean groaned.

"Tell Professor Hange I said hi," Eren said

"You have that shithead as a teacher?" Levi asked, rhetorically, "tell her I said to fuck off,"

The pair laughed and they said their goodbyes before turning to leave. As soon as they were gone, he turned to Eren who was calling for his attention.

"You coming?"
