Levi's POV
Class seemed to stretch into an oblivion with no end in sight, I was sitting there twirling my pencil as the teacher droned on with today's lesson. My thoughts spun around and around, nothing really standing out, just the normal thoughts like When is class going to end or Where in the Hell will I use this in my sad pathetic life. All the kids around me in this dump where excited for the 3 new kids that showed up late last night, I, of course, had only seen the one.
I have suffered for insomnia for a long time, and like to pass my time talking with Erwin in his study. It was like any other night, he was working on the never ending paper while I lounged on one of the couches in the study. It was sometime past mid-night when a call came in, which is really unusual, even here at this hell place, he answered it.
"This is Erwin." He said when he answered the phone. I heard a muffled reply on the other side of the phone, it sounded like a young woman, but I couldn't tell from where I was in the room.
"Well hello Petra, what can I do for you this late at night?" Erwin's face brighten up when he found out who had called this late at night, "Yes, we do have space left. Ohh really?" I was starting to get annoyed with only hearing half the conversation, but I waited for it to end. "Alright we will see you in a bit, drive safely." I looked at him, my eyebrow raised, waiting for him to fill me in on what is happening tonight.
He just gave me a smile, and a simple answer, "we have a guest coming." With that he went out the door, I groaned, normally I would have contained my curiosity till morning, but for some reason only God knows why I got up and followed.
I found Erwin running around like a chicken with his head cut off, grabbing fresh linen, and hurrying off to the few rooms that were still open. I followed behind, watching him throw the room quickly together, when we heard a car's tire crunch in the driveway that was right outside the window.
Erwin quickly smoothed down his hair and his clothes before collecting himself and making his way outside to great the guest. I followed right behind him, when we reached outside I saw a familiar car that had once brought me here forever ago. The owner of the car, Petra, who I haven't seen in a long time, stepped out as soon as she saw us with a huge smile plastered upon her face.
"Hello Erwin, Levi," She greeted both of us with a tired smile, and pulled each of us into a hug, "Erwin nice to see you, and Levi you have grown since the last time I saw you." I snorted at her because I was the same size since she last saw me. It was no secret that I was forever stuck as 5'3".
"Good evening Petra, nice to see you as well, it has been forever." Erwin said with a creepy smile upon his face, "I wish you would stop by more often than just occasions like this, but none the less we are happy to see you."
Petra sighed, "I wish that it could be that way as well, I have to thank you though sir for taking him at the last minute. When I found out on the way to the foster house that they wouldn't take him after reading his file, I had to think of something. St. Rose was the first thing that popped in my mind." She finished with a small smile.
"Of course it is my pleasure to help out when I can. Let us get him in and then we can discuss things a little further in my office." Erwin said with a smile pulling the car door open. Petra stepped up to the now opened passenger door, gentility shaking the shoulder of the sleeping kid that was inside, "Come on Eren wake up." She cooed gently to the brat.
"It's alright Petra, let him sleep. It was a long drive after all," Erwin said when the sleeping brat didn't even budge a muscle. "You should stay here as well, seeing how late you two got here. I mean, it will be better in the morning to explain what is going to happen. Also, it gives you a chance to introduce him to everyone." Erwin said to Petra who looked like she would fall over where she stood from exhaustion.
"Nrum." The hell sound was that, a fucking baby llama? I thought looking at the kid as we started to stir in his sleep.
"Hey eyebrows, quiet down, the brat is starting to wake up." I said in my monotone voice, not giving a fuck if the kid woke up or not.
Petra sighed, "I guess you're right, I'll let him sleep. I might as well stay here since the likelihood of getting a room anywhere else at 12:30 would be a lost cause."
"Then it's settled," said Erwin delighted that he would have more time to talk to her about his new charge, he swiftly stooped down to pick up the sleeping kid, who had now left us bound for the realm of the dreamers. "Levi, would you please escort Petra to the office and make her some tea. I'll go put Eren here in his room and come back for his stuff." I nodded and stole a glance at the sleeping boy in his arms; the boy had a few bumps and bruises on his face, and this crazy looking brunette hair that seemed to have never met a brush. The kid seemed a little too skinny, but that was most likely from the lack of care from this fucked up system. I pulled my focus from the kid and back to the task I had been given, signaling to Petra to follow me, I lead her back into the prison I've called home for the last two years.
When I pulled myself from my thoughts everyone was packing up, presumably heading to lunch for the day. I sighed, another day wasted on learning nothing; I got up and walked out the door leading to what served as a rec room for this sad establishment.
There, sitting on the couch lost in deep thoughts, was the brat from last night. The thing I didn't take accounted for last night was how cute he looked. The now lucid kid had these stunning eyes. One was a brightly burning teal that could put the ocean to shame, surprisingly such stunning color held such a calming element to it that I was instantly entranced. While the other one was an amber which reminded me of a tiger that held just as much ferocity as the wild animal itself.
I knew in that moment I was screwed.
