After Kuchel and Kenny had returned with the medicine, Levi ended up recovering quicker than anyone had anticipated.

Before anyone knew it, it was New Year's, and everyone was exhausted from the New Year's eve party Sasha and Connie had held the night prior. Levi ended up spending the night at Eren's house, because it was closer and neither of them were awake enough to walk all the way to Levi's house.

"Hey, Eren?"

Eren turned from his place at the stove where he was brunch for everyone and apology pancakes for his mother. They had given her a heart attack when they tried to sneak back into the house at five in the morning. The only reason they had to sneak in was because they didn't want to awaken anyone that was sleeping, but Carla had gotten up to get herself a glass of water.

"Yeah?"

The raven rubbed his temple as he tried to recall what had happened the night prior, but found it hard to do because he had been so tired.

"Do… Do you remember anything about a double date with… Jean and Marco, I think?"

Eren gave this some serious thought and tried to remember such a topic coming up.

-Flashback-

Eren and Levi lazily laughed as Sasha rang a bell loudly, nearly hitting Connie in the process. She claimed that she was ringing it to show that it was the New Year, but Eren figured it was because she was crazy since she had been ringing it for two hours straight.

Levi suddenly plopped down on the couch, dragging Eren with him, and leaned onto Eren's shoulder.

They were both so tired that they had begun to fall asleep while leaning on each other.

Suddenly, a loud ringing in both of their ears jolted them both awake.

Eren, thinking it was Sasha with that stupid bell again, was preparing to tell her off, but he discovered that it was Jean that had been ringing the bell.

"What the Hell, Horse-face?! We're freaking tired and just want to- "

Jean cut him off.

"Yeah, yeah, Jaeger. Look, Ma-Mario wanted to know if… if… if…"

He trailed off as he began to drift off to sleep.

Levi suddenly jolted awake.

"W-Wait, who's… Mario?"

Eren snapped his fingers in front of Jean's face. Jean gasped as he suddenly woke up, and asked, "Mario who?"

Eren groaned and said, "Jean, just tell us whatever this Mario wanted!"

The taller brunette suddenly snapped his fingers in realization, and said, "Oh, not Mario, Marco!"

The freckled raven suddenly appeared, looking just as sleepy as everyone else was, and said, "Yep?"

Jean attempted to pat Marco on the head, but ended up patting his face instead.

"No, no, babe. I was telling these… guys that you wanted to go to the bubble state."

Levi started giggling and said, "W-What's the bubble state? WAIT!"

He suddenly sat up from leaning on Eren's shoulder and caught everybody's attention.

"You… You called him 'babe'. Are you… Are you two dating!?"

A loud cacophony of voices suddenly erupted from the room as everyone began to talk about the news.

"I knew it…", Ymir said quietly from where she sat lying on Christa's lap, the sweet blonde tiredly stroking her hair.

The loud arrangement of voices accompanied with Sasha's bell drove Eren to the edge.

"OKAY, WHAT ABOUT THIS STUPID BUBBLE STATE!?"

Marco suddenly spoke.

"Oh! No, not a bubble state! A double date!"

-End of flashback-

Everything after that was hazy.

"Uh… Now that I think about it… I think they did say something about a double date."

Levi groaned and let his head drop to the table with a loud thud.

"Did we agree to go?"

Just as the raven said this, Eren's phone buzzed. The brunette quickly wiped his hands off with a towel and picked up his phone.

It was a text from Jean.

Eren cringed once he saw who it was from, but read it anyway.

'about that dble date thing… I dnt wnt 2 but Mar keeps saying we should so…'

Before he could even react to the text, Eren got another.

'next Friday 4 The Wall Diner'

Eren sighed.

"I guess we're not getting out of this."

"Why do we have to have it when school starts back up!?"

Eren attempted to comfort his boyfriend by gently petting his head, but that plan was scrapped when Levi slapped his boyfriend's hand, claiming that it was still dirty from cooking.

God, Eren loved his boyfriend.

-Line Break-

Soon enough, the new semester had started and everyone wasn't too excited to be going back to school.

Eren, Levi, and Mikasa moseyed along the halls of the school in an attempt to get to their lockers before class, but that act was getting more and more difficult with each passing moment.

"Ugh", Eren groaned. "I'm not ready to be back at school! Levi, baby, take me home…"

Levi sighed and closed his eyes, "I'd be able to do that if I had a car…"

Mikasa looked at the two boys and said, "At least you can be at school with your boyfriend. Annie just seems so far away…"

"Mikasa, please don't go all emo on us."

What happened next was such a rarity that no one was even expecting it to happen.

Somehow, someway, the illustrious Levi Ackerman… tripped….

Eren was quick to try and catch him, but before he could some other force had caught the other mid-fall, and had twirled him around so he was safely in their arms.

"My, my, a pretty-little thing like you shouldn't allow yourself to almost be hurt in such a way. Why, what would this school do without a cute face like this?"

The trio and anyone that has been standing in the hallway stared at the teen girl before them that gently held Levi like he was some type of treasure.

The girl oh-so-carefully ran her pointer finger under Levi's chin and made him look at her.

"Now, what's your name, sweetie?"

Eren expected his boyfriend to get all defensive; refusing to even give the girl his name, but the opposite happened. Levi was actually flustered!

"Uh, L-Levi…"

The girl smiled.

"Well, Levi", She let him stand up on his own and gently took his hand, bowing. "My name is Armani Alo; I'm new this semester."

She gently kissed the back of his hand and began to walk off.

"Well, it's been fun, but I have to get to class. I hope we meet again, my dear. Ciao!"

The hall was silent as everybody watched Armani strut down the hall to her class.

The trio stared just as hard as everyone else, but Eren's gaze was a bit angrier than everybody else's.

He scoffed.

"Pfft, who does she think she is? Right Levi-… Levi?"

The raven continued to stare off at the direction Amani left in, a faint blush on his cheeks.

"…She seems nice…"

Eren nearly fainted.

-End of Chapter 37-

A/N: I want to start off saying sorry for the short chapter. But, I am really excited to have finally introduced Armani! I came with her a while ago after hearing the name, and I said, "You know what, she's gonna be a charmer…" I hope you guys enjoy her, and YAY Jean finally grew a pair and asked out Marco!

P.S: I got a haircut :)

Preview: Um… Stuff happens… (I have no idea, maybe the double date?) heh heh…
