Levi and Mikasa looked at each other for a few seconds. Levi's gaze then shifted to Eren, then back to Mikasa. His eyes furrowed
"You're still alive huh, you gloomy brat?" he said. Mikasa glared at him
"Nice to see you're still the same pain in the ass, shorty."
"Huh?!"
"Well, you should have thought about thought about it before calling me a 'gloomy brat'!"
"That's because you ARE one!"
They then kept bickering back and forth with each other
Jean then whispered to Armin "Hey who's the short badass looking guy Mikasa's arguing with?"
"Oh, that's Mikasa's elder brother Levi. He's 5 years elder than us."
"Well, if she has a brother, why does she still stay in Yeager's house?"
"After Mikasa's parents died, she and her brother were supposed to go under their uncle Kenny's custody. But he could afford taking in only one person due to financial problems. That's when Eren's dad stepped up and took Mikasa under his care. They have been staying like that ever since."
"Huh."
"Lucky Bastard, that Yeager." Jean muttered
We they looked on Levi and Mikasa were still quarrelling when they heard a shrill happy cry from behind
"LEEE…. VVVVAAAAAA…. IIIIIII!"
The siblings stopped the quarrel to look at the source of that voice.
"Tch."
They saw a medium height woman with short brown hair and rectangular glasses with a bright smile on her face. She wore a black hoodie over a white shirt along with jeans and sneakers
"What is it four-eyes?" Levi said as looked at her
"Well, I just found traces of bones around here somewhere under the rubble. I thought it'd be some new species but turns out it was just dead bodies."
"Don't rub your disappointment on me."
"But it seemed like a mystery to me so I need your help."
"I'm a geologist, not some stupid archaeologist."
"Don't say that! Isn't your sister also a- "
She then looked up to see the person in question in front of her
"H-Hange-san?" Mikasa asked
"Mikasa! Eren! W-What a surprise! Didn't expect to see you here first thing in the morning!"
"Same here Hange-san. How've you been? It's been a long time." Mikasa said
"Oh, it's been a long time! We should really catch up you know! You guys staying here a while?"
"Yeah. We're here on our project so it's going to take a while. How come you guys are here in the first place."
"We came here to investigate the Yeldian ore's origin. We got information from this lady called Historia that there was an untouched ore mine here. So, before people start excavating it, we came to understand the thing." Levi intervened
"They let a kid like you in?" Mikasa taunted him
Levi raised his eyebrow in annoyance "Come again?"
"Well, they agreed to let him in once he had me as a legal guardian" Hange said
Levi eyes gave a super scary look to Hange "Don't you dare treat me like a kid again." He said slowly
Sasha and Armin had the same thought in their heads
"Yep. That's definitely Mikasa's brother."
"Ara Ara…Little Levi doesn't like me treating him as a kid, huh? Then how about…"
She then bent a bit and kissed him on the cheek. Levi and the others slightly froze at this.
Hange then bent towards his ear and whispered "Good luck explaining that."
She then run away back as she screamed "JA MATE NE!"
"OI HANGE!" Levi looked back and called out only to see her disappear
"Some legs she has to run like that."
He then turned to Mikasa who still looked frozen. She slowly asked
"H-How long h-has this been going on for?"
"It'll be 2 years at the end of this month." He said nonchalantly
"How'd that happen anyway?"
Levi says how he got together with Hange without any emotion
"Unfortunately, since Paleontologists and Geologists go mostly together, I had to be stuck with that 4 eyed abnormal for 4 years, I guess. She was quite clingy to me with that cheery sarcastic attitude of hers. One night she got drunk she asked me out…when I thought about it, I realized we were the only ones who could stand each other…so I said yes. It's been 2 years since then."
"Could you at least pretend to blush? That 'love story' itself seems boring and that stupid poker face you make somehow makes it even boring"
"I want to make a kid with her not a romcom. It doesn't have to be dramatic."
"How could you say that with a straight face?! Did Kenny approve?"
"He usually makes a fuss of things but somehow he just straight up agreed this time
"Wow." She said as she stared at him
"What? You didn't expect me to date Hange of all people?"
"Honestly, I didn't expect you'd find a woman in the first place."
"Huh?! If a brat like you can find someone then why can't I?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not dating anyone!"
"That what's that thing back there?" He pointed to Eren who was arguing with Jean again.
"First of all, that's a person there not a thing! And secondly we're not dating!" she said with a slightly red face
"Don't try and deny it. Although… I personally don't approve of him- "
"Who the hell said I needed your approval to date him?! I'll do whatever I want with him!" she said, annoyed
She then slapped her mouth on her face. Levi gave a light smirk.
"Whatever you want, huh?"
Mikasa was caught off-guard
"Uh…Uhm…well…uh…"
Levi's smirk widened. Armin and Sasha gave slight awkward grins. They then turned to see Eren's reaction, only to see he didn't hear anything since he was having a heated argument with Jean over food
"Are you serious?! Who the hell like omelettes?! They're so tasteless!" Eren argued with Jean
"As if cheeseburgers are any better! They're so greasy and oily that I can fill my car with it!"
"Don't exaggerate things! The Cheeseburger is the king of taste! It's the perfect comfort food!"
"Omelette's a homely food! It's a perfect balance of nutrients and is healthy! Don't blame me if you end up with heart problems when you're older!"
"Cheeseburgers have a perfect balanced diet! So quit it about the heart problems Horseface!"
"I impersonated you like 10 times now! So, watch who you call a horseface!"
"The only reason you got caught is because of your horseface, Horseface!"
As they kept arguing with each other, Levi stared at them in disbelief. Armin and Sasha each had a disappointed sweat drop. Mikasa still had her face steaming from before
"Are they seriously arguing about cheeseburgers and omelettes?" Sasha asked
"Sometimes, I honestly can't believe they're 21 years old…" Armin said as he stared
"Can't they find better dishes to argue about?!" Sasha argued
Armin stared at Sasha "That's what you're worried about?!"
Levi went up to the two arguing idiots
"Oi…"
Before they turn to him, Levi kneed Eren and punched Jean in their guts to make them fall to the ground
"Behave. This is a sacred working place not a Discord Server."
Jean then barfed on the floor
"And you, clean that up. I don't want any one of you messing with my site."
Levi then looked at Armin
"Speaking of which, you didn't answer my question yet. What are you brats doing here in the first place?"
"Well, this Historia you're talking about gave us information that there was a historical site here a few days ago so we came up here."
Levi raised an eyebrow "They took brats from college for a newly discovered site?"
"Yeah, there's a lot of debate with the sites on this island and what they hold. So, they're roping in as many people as possible." Armin
"That explains a lot of things. Come with me, I'll lead you guys there…and wipe that goofy smile off your face. It's creeping me out." Levi said as he turned to a direction and started walking.
