He thought this would be a bad idea.

There is a reason why Levi does not permit his so-called 'friends' to take him anywhere. The sheer variety in their personal tastes – ranging from art museums to Ferris wheels to petting zoos – just emphasizes how alienated he feels when he cannot enjoy the same things that they do.

In addition, it is an unnecessary reminder that he is, in fact, a lone man surrounded by a crowd of morons.

He still does not like it, or at least, that is what he tells himself. In this little café, the women serving you are dressed like schoolgirls (never mind their actual age), and his first instinct after stepping through the door was to turn around and walk right back out again, but the two men that stood on either side of him, Auruo and Erd, easily seized him by the arms and all hopes of escape vanished.

"And how will you have your coffee today, sir?" Petra asks, trying to be a professional, but her face is a deep red. It is not helpful when one of the boys points out her outfit with the white and red striped socks that reach up to her knees. Actually, having worked in the same business office for a year, she already knows how to make coffee just the way Levi likes it. He does not want to embarrass Petra any further, so he gives her his order with the same level of detachment he would to any other woman, but it is difficult because his eyes are constantly drawn back down to the socks that make her legs seem impossibly long. When she finally leaves their table he is torn between feelings of relief and disappointment.

"She should wear those more often," he hears Auruo say.

Levi mentally agrees before executing a perfectly aimed kick at his shin.
