Awkwardness is always awkward
Well, this is indeed awkward...hehe, well here is the second chapter! It's more of a filler...but please read
Eren and Petra along with Levi who was knocked out on Eren's shoulder made it to Erwin's house, still unsure of what to say to the boss. "You wanna knock?" he asked and got a nervous glance from Petra, and finally the girl shook her head no.
"You do it," she whispered, yes the boss was nice but no one wanted to be reminded of their job. Petra got a smirk from Eren indicating that he wasn't going to knock,
"I'm carrying someone." Was all he said and watched the orange haired girl huff and ring the doorbell… "Do you think he-"
"Hello?"
Eren and Petra froze as they heard Erwin's voice; they had no idea of how to explain the problem. They heard footsteps' getting closer and closer to the door until the door was swung open.
"Eren! Petra! What brings you two here? I know there aren't any current contracts since Eren here finished his already." Erwin said and turned to Eren, "Your father dropped off the report as soon as you finished and who do you guys have there?" Erwin asked, noticing the man on Eren's shoulder who had begun to stir.
"Eren he's waking up, knock him out!" Petra exclaimed and the boy complied happily. "Levi, age 34, he was in the café and…let's just say he grabbed Eren and the poor boy flipped and knocked the man out in a dramatic fashion." The girl responded saw Erwin frown,
"I-I don't know what to say, bring him in and we'll lay him on the couch, in the mean time! Eren, your grades are bad. Pick them up, Petra!" he said and turned to the girl who was visibly shaking, "Petra, just keep doing what you do." He sighed and led the two to the couch where Eren practically dropped the man off. "Since you two came all this way, would you like something to eat?" Erwin asked going to kitchen again, it was sort of like déjà vu.
"That would be…nice, yes please." They responded and waited around, standing awkwardly in the middle of the blue dining room.
"Take a seat you two; I have some things to discuss with you both." Erwin said and came back with some beef ravioli and two bottles of water. You see, Erwin, Eren, Petra and the others NEVER drank from the tap or glass water because they never knew what was in the water, which made eating harder for them. They had to constantly wash their bowls, pans, utensils and other things to make sure there was nothing on them. When you were involved in such business, you had to be careful. Luckily Eren and Petra trusted Erwin enough not to poison the food. After all, what kind of boss would he be if he killed off his two best assassins? (Rhetorical question) he gave the food and water to the two and sat down. "Right, first off. Eren, why did you leave a letter?" Erwin asked as he crossed his arms, there was no anger in the man's voice but Eren knew better.
"I wanted a challenge sir, I've been thinking of sending a letter ahead of time from now on to the police so they can try and stop me-"
"Which won't happen," Erwin finished and pondered on the thought. "Petra, you haven't taken any contracts. Eren seems like he's beating you to them. Care to explain?"
Levi decided at that moment to move around, still lost in his dreams but starting to come back to the world of the living.
"I think he's waking up, we should get going." Eren said, saving Petra. He knew the woman hated killing, taking away innocent lives. Erwin frowned and brushed it aside.
"It seems so, Eren be careful, you as well Petra." Their boss whispered as Levi finally regained consciousness.
"E-Erwin? Ouch, what happened? I thought I was at the caf-"
"It's fine Levi, you passed out apparently and these two brought you home. I told you that you should have eaten more, now you're passing out on me." Erwin berated the shorter man who huffed in annoyance, trying to remember if he indeed fainted. His whole body hurt like hell and he had a killer headache.
"Ugh, I doubt I passed out, I feel like someone punched me in the gut." Levi moaned as he shakily got up, at the statement Eren looked down. What the man said was partly true.
"Eren, Petra, go home and I'll see you both later." Both knew that was a dismissal.
'Vous êtes ne pas quitter sans payer' No, he didn't pass out; he had been knocked out by the brat! "Oi brat! Why the hell did you do that?" Levi shouted taking the three by surprise,
"I-I don't know what you mean sir," Eren replied with a straight face.
"Quit shitting around, after I grabbed your wrist I have no fuckin idea how the hell you flipped me and knocked me out, but I never forget details!" Levi hissed and made his way towards Eren but was stopped by Erwin. "Get out of the way old man!" Levi snapped but Erwin didn't budge, all he did was put his hand on Levi's shoulder and the shorter man deflated, losing all his anger.
"Calm down Levi, you might have an early death if you keep shouting and being angry." Erwin stated and nodded to the two who were behind him.
"Good bye and thank you for the food." Both Petra and Eren said and rushed out of the house. Once Levi and Erwin were alone in the house tensions just rose up.
"So, what were they doing here? You know its against school rules to invite a student in to your house?" Levi started but got a smile from Erwin. "Stop smiling,"
"Haha, did you read ALL the school rules Levi?" Erwin asked, raising one eyebrow at the man who looked away, indicating that he hadn't. "Page 30, section 3, paragraph 9: depending on the matter, you may have a student at the house, paragraph 10: on no condition though are you allowed to date the said student." Erwin recited causing Levi to curse aloud.
"Fucked up bastard, who knows what kind of things you did to those two. Well, I'm going to bed." Levi said and left to the bathroom, it was time for the nightly ritual of washing.
First it was a shower, with lemon/milk/honey scented soap and shampoo along with the conditioner. After that, it was another body wash, after getting out of the shower he would dry himself and proceed to moisturise his body (dear lordie, it's so awkward writing that!) then he would change into his pyjamas (nightwear) after he was finished that, he would go back to the bathroom and rewash his hair and hands, then brush his teeth and for the final time in the evening he would rewash his hands and head off to bed.
Erwin who was downstairs just shook his head at Levi's cleaning antics, sometimes it was just too much to bear.

Eren and Petra walked in total silence, the unsaid thank you hung heavily in the air.
"Eren, I know I don't say this much-but thank you. I'm sorry that you keep having to take my contracts, I just-" at this point Petra had broken down into tears and was a mess. Eren shushed her and held her close as she started crying. Poor girl.
"It's fine Petra, I don't mind. After all it's something I'm pretty good at." Eren said with a smile on his face as he rubbed the girl's back in comfort.
"Waaa! EREN! I'M SORRY!" she shouted into his chest, the girl's tears wouldn't stop.
"Petra it's fine, lets just go home." he whispered and got a small nod from her. it was going to be a very long day at school.
