"What the actual fuck, Hanji? Now is not the time to get all high and fucking mighty," I snarled, my mood harsher than usual, "it's been two fucking weeks without having sex with him. It's been one where he hasn't even fucking talked to me."

Hanji held up her hands, palms facing towards me, "Easy, Rivai. It's not my fault he's already sick of you in this life."

I snarled at her, giving her a deadly glare as I slammed my locker shut, the locker itself denting under my hand. I stormed my way out of the school, Hanji running to keep up with me.

"Rivai, why don't you just tal-"

"Hell fucking no, shitty glasses," I snarled, fuming as I sped up. Hanji just sighed, walking beside me as she kept my pace. She placed a palm on my head, ruffling my hair as I glared at her.

"Do you have to work tonight?"

"No," I sighed, my anger slowly dissipating, "I have today off. Not as many people go to the library towards Christmas."

"Oh yeah, your birthday's in a couple of days, right?" she asked excitedly, causing me to slightly wince. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow, causing me to sigh and shake my head.

"I kind of don't want it to be. People have family to see, and, well…you know my past birthdays, Hanji. They were never celebrated, not that I really cared," I shrugged, the smell of gasoline filling my nose, along with cigarettes. I glanced around at the taxi cabs, retreating into the warmth of my coat. I turned my eyes up to the cloudy, grey sky. I hope it snows tonight. I don't want to go to school.

"I care, Rivai. But, you know that. Anyway, is anyone in your family coming to visit? I know my family's too busy," she huffed, her lips turning into a pout. I just shrugged, not really caring, "probably not."

She pulled her hand off my head and it fell back into the cardigan's pocket that she was wearing. As we crossed the street onto my block, I yawned and stretched, shivering as a cold breeze fell through my jacket. Hanji chuckled and bounded up my house steps, unlocking the door and stepping inside as I followed in suit. I took off my shoes, putting on slippers along with Hanji, and I headed upstairs to change.

I yawned as I stretched once again, shedding the warm clothes with a large, baggy sweatshirt and fuzzy, black pants. I shivered again, sighing sadly as I missed the extra warmth that used to be here beside me.

Walking into the bathroom, I played with the post-it note that was once on my mirror in my fingers before placing it again onto the counter. It read:

Rivaille,

I didn't want to wake you, since you look so cute in your sleep. I'm sorry I can't stay any longer, Armin's expecting me. See you soon. I love you, Heichou

Eren

I sighed, running my hands through my hair. That fucking shitty brat had done it once again. Only, this time, he was pulling away after he had broken all of my walls. I growled and trudged out of my room and down the stairs, rubbing one of my eyes as I started to yawn, walking over to Hanji.

"Oi, shitty glasses, do you ever get lonely?" I asked, looking at her curiously as I dropped my hand from my eye.

She smiled softly, walking over to me and wrapping her arms around my small frame. I, instead of pushing her away, welcomed the hug and hugged her back, hiding my head into her shoulder.

"Levi, this is real love," she murmured into my ear, stroking my hair, "and I'm sure he really loves you, too. You just need to talk to him."

I gripped onto her cardigan, sniffling slightly and rubbing my eyes as they teared slightly. I pulled away, sitting down on the couch and curling into a ball as I put my mask on my face, flipping through the channels with barely any interest. I felt a hand in my hair and looked up at Hanji momentarily, who sat down beside me. I knew this wasn't at all normal for me, but with love, nothing ever was.

"Levi," Hanji whispered, sitting beside me, "talk to him."

"When?"

"Tomorrow," she answered, "and if he's ignoring you, be you and slam him into a wall and beat the truth out of him."

I chuckled at that, smiling slightly at her as I turned my attention to what was on the cartoon channel, not really paying attention to the plot line. Yawning, I grabbed the neat blanket from behind me and wrapped it around myself, snuggling into the back of the couch. Before I knew it, I was asleep.

I awoke to what I imagined to be bright green eyes and a warm, slightly muscled body, but was extremely disappointed. I looked to see Hanji curled up on my back, her glasses fallen off somewhere and her hair a mess. I stood up, causing her to fall and wake with a start. I rolled my eyes and stomped up the stairs, heading to the shower to get ready for the day-until I noticed something white glittering on the lawn and roads as the sun sparkled against it, and I walked towards the window.

"Hanji!" I yelled down the stairs, "It snowed! No school!"

I was greeted by a yelling as she came into my room and attacked me with an exasperated hug, causing me to growl at her. She chuckled, looking happy to see me as my normal self, and stood up, walking out of the room and heading downstairs. Taking her lead, I headed to my bed and curled up, falling asleep once again and unconsciously groping for the blissful warmth that used to appear at my bedside.

As I awoke once again, I curled up into the blankets more, trying to stay in the warmth as long as I could. After what felt like an hour, I grumbled and got out of bed, putting on slippers as I went downstairs to turn on the tea kettle. I yawned, shivering as the cold air made its way through the oversized sweater.

"Levi~!" Hanji cooed, bounding over to me, "we should go get Erwin and Eren~!"

Sighing and feeling my heart ache with the shitty brat's name, I glared up at her, crossing my arms, "Why?"

"Because they're our friends, and one's your boyfriend that you need to work shit out with, idiot," she replied back, slight anger lacing in at the end of her sentence. Sighing in defeat, I heard her squeal and she grabbed her cell as the tea kettle whistled, and I went to the cabinets to grab a packet of hot chocolate, along with milk. I made my own and put the liquid to my lips, sighing in content as the liquid traveled down my throat.

"Make me some!" Hanji whined, causing me to glare as I gulped down the hot chocolate. I rolled my eyes, turning to the sink to wash my cup and spoon to put it in the drying rack, "Tell me to do something again and you're cleaning my entire damn house."

Hanji whined, but grabbed herself a cup and was starting to make it herself as I walked upstairs to go shower.

My lips turned upwards as I sighed in happiness at the hot water, steam rising from the heat. It felt great on my body, and I stayed in the shower much longer than needed just for the warmth. Eventually, I got out and threw on a pair of tight, black jeans and a fitted long-sleeve shirt. I blow-dried the longer hair I had, noting I needed to shave my undercut soon. As that was dry, I looked over myself again and smirked, running a hand through my hair and made my way downstairs.

I was met with an excited Hanji, who was already bundled up in a coat, scarf, beanie, and a pair of gloves. I chuckled at the sight of her, "You look fucking ridiculous."

She rolled her eyes as I shrugged on my coat as well as pulling on my scarf and ear muffs. I pulled on a pair of gloves, slipping on a pair of boots as I heard a giggle from Hanji. I glared at her, which caused her to grin, "You look so adorable!"

I rolled my eyes, "where are we going, Shitty Glasses?"

"Erwin's, we're meeting him and Eren there, since he lives close by."

"Don't remind me," I grumbled, walking out of the house as I pulled the scarf up to my nose, the cold air hitting my cheeks. Hanji followed me out, bounding out of the house and onto the sidewalk. She started to walk down the street, and I reluctantly followed.

Well, I wasn't really that reluctant. I wanted to deny it, but I was anxious to see Eren, and I prayed that he would actually talk to me. I wanted to both deck him in the face and kiss him at the same time, especially for how fucking distant the idiot was being.

"Hanji," I called, a thought popping into my mind, "I need to borrow you tomorrow. I'm going to get a tattoo."

"Eh?!" she yelled, calling back to me as she turned around, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.

"Yeah, I'm getting a tattoo before the break starts. It's a blue wing, like out old one, like our school emblem."

"What do you need me for?" she asked, a curious look on her face.

"I need someone to be there with me, and I need help keeping the surprise. It's going to be on my right side of my back, only outlined in blue."

"Ooh, is this a surprise for Eren?"

I shrugged, pulling the scarf back over my mouth, "more or less."

She giggled at that, twirling back around and walking faster, causing me to pick up the pace. Eventually, but not too long, we reached Erwin's place, heading inside the apartment building and barging in to Erwin's house.

"Oi," I called as the blonde stood from his couch, dressed in sweats and a baggy shirt. I slipped off my coat, placing it on the rack he had along with my scarf and slipping off my shoes. I took off my ear muffs and put them on the shelf above the coats, barely able to reach.

Erwin chuckled, "you still wear those ear muffs?"

"Well, what am I supposed to do? They were a gift from you guys, and it's not like I have winter stuff to go around," I growled back, stretching and plopping onto the couch as I heard someone take in breath.

I looked around and saw a certain pair of green eyes, a pang of hurt in my chest as I went rigid. I sat up straighter as he opened his mouth and then closed it, looking like a fish out of water.

"Oi."

"M-morning," he answered shakily, hanging up his coat and looking outside the door for a moment. I raised an eyebrow, but the two acted as if they didn't notice anything. I shut my eyes as the door opened and closed again, and a pair of shuffling feet was all I heard. Cracking open one eye, across the room I was met with cold, unwavering dark eyes, set in a glare as they looked at me. I opened both of my eyes, growling lowly, "Do you always have to greet me like this, Mikasa?"

There was a small chuckle heard from Eren, and I glanced over at him as he moved to sit between Erwin and me. I gave him a look that said is this the reason you've been a fucking prick the past two weeks? and leaned into him, causing Mikasa to glare as she took a spot on the floor, next to Hanji.

"Well, welcome to Trost, Mikasa," Hanji said cheerily as the raven haired girl smiled back.

"How long have you been here?" I asked, causing her to look at me with a stoic expression. Oh well, it was better than a glare.

"About, what, two weeks, maybe a week and half, now?" she answered, her voice laced with slight confusion as she calculated. I turned to give Eren a death glare, and he looked at me sadly. Leaning his head towards my ear, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Levi. I would've told you, but you know how Mikasa is."

I growled at him, crossing my arms and moving a slight bit away from him.

"Quit sulking, Levi," Erwin and Hanji said, "suck it up."

I rolled my eyes, baring my teeth at the two of them, "thanks for the fucking help, guys."

"Hey! I comforted your lonely a-"

"Speak of last night again, I fucking dare you," I snarled, glaring daggers at Hanji, who glared back, but shut her eyes and let it go.

"Anyway," Erwin cut in, grabbing everyone's attention, "what do you guys want to do?"

"CHRISTMAS MOVIES!" Hanji screeched, causing us to cover our ears. Erwin chuckled at her request, getting up to go get his Christmas DVDs. I scooted back into Eren's side again as I felt him wrap his arm around me, interlacing our fingers.

I sat up straighter for a moment to growl "you're gonna get it later" in his ear, causing him to shiver and smirk. He nodded leaning back into the couch, and he looked as if he was trying not to focus on what I'd said. I smirked, leaning back as well before kissing him on the cheek. He chuckled, and I heard a low growl from in front of us.

"He's mine, Mikasa. Mine," I growled back. That earned a laugh from Hanji and Erwin, but Mikasa and I just glared at each other until Erwin started the movie.

"You're coming home with me," I growled at Eren as I put my ear muffs on.

"But-"

"No. Hell no. I've spent two fucking weeks without your ass, hell fucking no, Eren Jaeger," I snarled, putting on my jacket and wrapping my scarf around my neck. Eren looked between Mikasa and me, worried.

I pulled out my phone, quickly dialing the number I had now memorized, "Oi, Arlet? Get your ass to Erwin's. I'm kidnapping Eren for the night, and no, I'm not asking permission. Just get your ass over here."

"Respect your elders, Levi," Armin chided with a chuckle, "I'll be right over."

"No, I will not respect you," I growled, and I heard the man chuckle as the phone clicked, causing me to lock my phone and drop it into my pocket.

Eren started to laugh, along with Hanji, causing me to roll my eyes. They were still laughing as Armin pulled up, jogging up the steps and coming to a stop in front of the door as he opened it.

"Hey, guys," he called cheerily, smiling brightly at us.

"Hey," everyone but me said in unison, shrugging on their coats. Erwin shivered at the cold, taking a few steps back to retreat into the heat of his house.

"What's up, Arlet?" I asked, running my thumb over my scarf as I grabbed my ear muffs, and I heard a light chuckle from Eren. Rolling my eyes I just put them around my neck for the moment.

"Got a call from an ass," he stated with a smirk. I smirked back, lightly hitting him on the arm, "thanks, man."

"But, I have to bring Eren back with me. It was the deal with Mikasa," Armin murmured, looking down. I glared at him, grumbling as I put my ear muffs on. "Fine, then," I growled angrily as I stormed out the door, Hanji hurrying to catch up with me.

"Levi! Wait up!" Hanji yelled, causing me to sigh and slow down, stopping at the end of the complex. As Hanji caught up, I saw a green coat running towards us, chocolate hair blowing wildly as Eren ran to catch up with us. I felt my body tense, and I looked at the snow, kicking it.

He eventually caught up and put his hands on his knees, panting. Rolling my eyes and thinking about how he should have higher stamina for a basketball player. Slowly, I looked up at him and into his eyes, "Jaeger."

"I'm sorry, Levi. I have a surprise for you, and I can't risk it. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he panted, grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulling me towards him. And, before I realized it, warm, soft lips were on my own. I shut my eyes tightly, wrapping my arms around his neck to kiss him softly, but passionately.

"I love you, Levi," he whispered in my ear as he pulled away. I grabbed his hand, squeezing it tightly as he moved to leave. I gripped his hand tightly with both of mine, and I pulled him back to me for a moment. I grabbed him by his jacket collar now, forcing his head down to my height, and started to kiss his neck. Then, I bit him hard, sucking on his neck and pulled away after a little while, looking satisfied at the red mark. He blushed, his green eyes bright yet smoldering, and took a step back as he kissed my forehead, "I'll see you later."

I nodded, sighing as I turned around and walked down the road with Hanji, glancing back to watch the brat get into Armin's car. After that, I made a left, heading into town.

"Levi, where are you going?"

"To get a tattoo," I answered, "I've spent way too damn long waiting."

"THIS FUCKING HURTS WHAT THE HELL!"

"THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T GET A TATTOO DUMBASS!"

I glared at Hanji, wincing as a sat down. She put ice on my back and I hissed, glaring up at her.

"How the hell does this hurt? You've had Eren's dick up your ass, and this hurts?!"

"That was inside of me, and I didn't have him digging into my fucking back like this did," I snarled, locking glares with a brown pair of eyes.

"Idiot," she sighed, sitting on the bed. She shook her head, chuckling as she handed me some painkillers and a glass of water.

"Thank you," I muttered and took the medicine, laying down on my stomach and burying my head into a pillow. Hanji lightly ruffled my hair as she got off the bed, heading who knows where. Eventually, the pain wore off enough and I could move around and touch my back with only a slight pain. High pain tolerance, I thought to myself as I made myself macaroni and cheese for dinner. I huffed as I poured it into two bowls, making my way to Hanji as she leaned against the island. I did the same, scarfing down my food and washing my dishes, Hanji following my lead. Then, the two of us headed to bed.

One more day, and then it was Christmas break. Two days until my birthday. Finally, I was almost eighteen.

So... This is Dancer. I've a little bad news. Stormy has a cold. She wrote this and told me to upload it for her. So I did. She should be better soon, but just an fyi, we may not be posting as often. When she feels better though, we'll be right back on track!
