Hange was laughing maniacally as she grabbed her two test tubes filled with blue-green boiling liquid of unknown origins. Sasha was "tied" to the chair, and she was fearing for her dear life. She didn't want to die. She had lots of potatoes to eat! If only somebody could help her...
"Oy, Four-eyes!" a monotonous voice boomed along with the sudden opening of the door.
Hange and Sasha turned around to see a short guy with sleepy eyes and clean-shaven face. The sides of his hair were also shaven anew, and Hange knew that the guy usually have haircuts when he would be attending something fanciful. Some party, perhaps?
"Oh, Levi! Come in!" Hange greeted without taking her hands off the test tubes. "Have a seat, and be my guest."
Levi Ackerman, the math genius sempai that everyone was talking about, came in and looked at the seated Miss Blouse.
"Why are you torturing a first year student?" Levi asked for an explanation as he turned his attention back at Hange.
"W-well, you see, I have to help mankind!" Hange spoke up dramatically, while giving out an empowered and passionate speech about saving the world and preventing climate change.
Levi divided his attention between listening to his classmate speak to getting his mobile phone to text someone. He and Hange have ambitions of developing ideas that will impact people on a global scale. That would be his ambition in the future, but not for now. He wanted to help mankind too, but that is through mathematics. While he's a realist, Hange's ideas were ridiculous.
And he sent the damn message.
"Were you listening, Levi?" Hange asked in enthusiasm.
"Must I listen?" Levi asked sharply. "I just sent a message to your brats not to give you dinner this evening."
"My brats, what?!" Hange panicked. By brats, Levi was referring to Sawney, the butler, and Bean, the cook. They were Hange's favorite people to slave in the mansion, and Hange was a very spoiled girl who could do damage to anyone she pleases. Like a cat who can play with his humans like a ball of yarn. "How could you?"
"And how could you, too?" Levi replied, his voice rising up a pitch or two. "You are abusing a first year student to your own satisfaction, and you are messing up with that damn table! Did I just see a hole made by your acidic concoctions?"
"But this is the science lab, after all, ahaha," Hange laughed. "I can do as I please."
"Sempai, please help me," Sasha whimpered to Levi. "I can't fart anymore."
"Hear that, Four-eyes?" Levi asked the pseudo-scientist. "You are making this brat fart. What if she s**ts on her underpants? You gonna take responsibility for that? Huh?"
Hange smiled at looked at the scared student. "Gomen ne, Sasha-chan."
But Sasha was already speechless with fright. She did not want to be a fart factory, after all.
"If that brat Arlert did not report to me, who knows what's gonna happen to this brat?" Levi said as turned on his heel to grab Sasha by the arm. "You are to stop this experiment now and find other sources for your biofuel!"
"Eh? Please don't take my subject away!" Hange pleaded.
"There are lots of banana peels in the large garbage bins outside," Sasha murmured. She knew that Reiner eats banana every single meal.
"Use those banana peels for the experiment!" Levi ordered his classmate before pulling the first year with him.
Before he left, he glowered at Hange before shutting the door behind him.
"Oh no! My fart biofuel!" Hange wailed.
Meanwhile...
Eren was able to pass the math assignment. If he hadn't, his teacher was going to bring him to Levi's classroom. He was not in the mood for lunch, so he climbed up the rooftop to have some emo moments. Armin was called to the science laboratory to assist the president of the Science Club, Hange, in washing the banana peels. Mikasa, meanwhile, was also called to the office of a teacher because of some out-of-school activities that she would be representing for the school.
"There must be more than my school life," Eren thought as he sat on the hard cement under the roof of the storage room, giving him some shade. "If I were a rock star, no? I can meet my idol, Eld Jinn."
He grabbed his mobile phone and scanned through his playlist. He had Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit and Marilyn Manson on his playlist. But he had Japanese acts too, like Scandal and One Ok Rock. And most songs on his playlist were from rock icon, Eld Jinn. Eld Jinn did a cover of the song "The Reluctant Heroes" and "Call Your Name."
("The Reluctant Heroes" and "Call Your Name" are all OSTs from "Attack on Titan" hihi ^_^ )
"Ah, Eld Jinn's the best," he thought as he put the put the headset to his head and pushed play for "Call Your Name."
When the guitar riffs came to play, Eren closed his eyes. The headset was better than the earbuds because he could hear the chords clearly. And with the headset, he could not hear Mikasa nagging at him. As he was immersed in his own world, he pretended to play the guitar.
But just like those times when you can really feel that someone was watching you, Eren started to open his eyes. Somebody seems to be near, he thought. And as he turned his head to the left, his lips accidentally met someone's lips.
Mikasa's lips.
