Days after Hanji's interrogation, everything went back to normal. Except that I am receiving more texts from Rein, always asking whatever the fuck I'm doing almost every hour. I gave no mind to it, knowing that it's his way of catching up to me considering that we barely have time to talk. With all the tests and shits we need to do for studies, we can't afford to waste time.

After long hours of listening to boring lectures and listing down notes, I let out a sigh of relief when the bell rang, signalling the end of my last class. Watching as the other students scurried out of the room, I let myself be the last to do so, not wanting to have any contact with them.

"Levi!" Hanji's voice boomed throughout the otherwise crowded hallway just in time when I stepped out, making others' heads turn to their direction. Lowering my head, I quickened my pace and tried ignoring them.

But of course, having long legs that I wasn't fucking blessed of, they easily reached me, hooking their arms around my neck. "Hey there, Shorty! Why did you ignore me?"

With a frown on my face, I unlatched Hanji's grip on me, pushing them a good few feet away from me. "Don't you fucking know about 'personal space bubble'? I'd rather have you not invading it, Shitty Glasses."

"Why? Because I'm not Rein?" The smug look on their face told me that they thought they hit a spot but they didn't. I just held my blank look on them, making them sigh.

"You're so boring, you know that? You need to spice your life up a bit."

"If 'spicing your life up a bit' means acting like you, I'd rather live my life boring."

They gave me an incredulous look, like what I just said is the biggest damn lie that ever fucking existed. Rolling my eyes, I just ignored them and continued walking in a fast pace, wanting to leave the place as soon as fucking possible.

Hanji caught up and walked beside me, spouting out nonsense shits out of their mouth. I stayed silent the whole time just like what I always do, letting them do all the talk. What's there to talk about anyways? I don't have the energy to talk about things that wouldn't benefit me.

But as I let their babbling go on, a certain question caught my attention.

"What did you say, Shitty Glasses?"

They looked down at me, their brown eyes filled with excitement. "I said guess who decided to wait for you." They wiggled their eyebrows and cocked their head, making me look ahead.

There stood Rein, a bouquet in hand while leaning back on a sleek black car, wearing a dark blue long sleeves shirt that fits his toned body perfectly along paired with a dark skinny jeans. Noticing some girls who are whispering to each other before giggling standing a few feet away from him, I scowled, not even a bit glad of seeing someone acting like that because of Rein. Damn it, why can't he go to a goddamn place where no one would even try to think to fucking flirt with him?

I didn't make any move and just stood there, watching as he got fawned over by some strangers while he look at his phone. Soon enough Rein looked up from his phone and looked around, his gaze eventually setting on me. A smile lifted up from his lips and he pushed himself off of the car and started walking towards us, Hanji stepping in by pushing me towards him.

"What the fuck, Hanji!"

"Just go get him before those girls get him." They pointed to the girls who are currently ogling at Rein which caused me to roll my eyes.

"Fuck you." Seemingly unaffected by my words, they just smiled at me.

"You'll thank me sooner or later, Levi."

I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off when I felt a soft, warm lips on my cheek. My eyes went wide and my body became stiff, completely caught off guard. Hanji squealed and clasped their arms together, their face containing a dreamy expression.

"I'm gonna go now. Gotta give you guys some alone time." They winked and quickly took off before I could even say anything.

Totally aware of the warmth that settled on my cheeks, I turned my head to look at Rein but my eyes was met by the sight of the bouquet of red roses. With furrowed eyebrows, I took a hold of his wrist and pulled it down, revealing his face to me which has a sheepish look on it.

"Hi there, Levi."

I rolled my eyes in amusement before I took the bouquet out of his grasp. Silently examining the flowers in my hand while looking at him through my peripheral vision, I took note of the nervous look that settled on Rein's face. It always amuse me how he can go from being such a shitty bold bastard to this shy mess.

Lifting my gaze up from the bouquet, I let the smallest smile grace my lips. "Thanks, I like it."

His face brightened up as well as his smile, and I can see that that simple acceptance made his day. I chuckled and punched his arm slightly, making him laugh.

"What is this for?" I gestured to the bouquet he gave me. The response I received was a shook of his head and a shrug.

"Nothing. I just thought of giving you one since we're going out."

I stayed silent at that, letting his words process in my mind. So we're really dating now? He's really serious at what he asked me that night?

"Are you alright, Levi?"

I looked up to his worried face and I sighed, reaching up to flatten out the crease between his eyebrows. "Yeah, just thinking. You're like an old man, Rein."

He raised one of his eyebrows. "Oh? And why did you say so?"

"You always worry too much. You're like a dad."

He rolled his eyes and sighed, crossing his arms while looking at me seriously. "Am I not allowed to be worried about someone I like? As far as I know, it's natural."

"You fucking know what? I don't know how you can be a damn shy mess to this bold bastard."

"It comes with talent, Levi."

I clicked my tongue. "Talent my ass."

Without waiting for him, I started walking. He followed me and poked my cheek as the annoying brat that he is. Turning my head to the right, I glared at him. "Fucking stop poking me."

Giving me an apologetic look, he scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry, I just want to ask you something."

"And what is it?"

"Are you going to do anything later?"

I went silent for a moment as I think of anything that I need to do. "Nothing that I know of. Why?"

"I want to take you somewhere."

We stopped walking when we're beside the black car he's leaning on earlier and I opted to look at him, his eyes hopeful and waiting for me to say yes. I can feel my lips twitched in the subtlest of smile, thinking of how this guy can be so happy for the smallest things.

"Okay then. Just make sure that it isn't as germ infested and people crowded as the amusement park." He nodded eagerly and opened the door for me, gesturing for me to enter. I did so and settled the flowers on the backseat, careful not to cause it any damage. After securing that it wouldn't fall, I sat properly and buckled the seat belt, staying silent as Rein started up the engine and drove out of the place.

Both of us are silent, the silence was being filled by the random songs coming out of the stereo and Rein's fingers tapping along to the song on the steering wheel. Idle chats do come at times, but it also dies immediately. After a good twenty minutes, Rein stopped at a convenience store, parking the car before unbuckling his seat belt.

"I'm gonna buy some foods. Do you wanna come?"

I shook my head and leaned back on the seat. "Nah, I'll just wait here."

He nodded before he went out and I watched until he disappeared inside the shop. With nothing left to do, I just silently stared outside the window with nothing but silence accompanying me.

As I did so my mind started to wander, questions popping out of nowhere in my mind. I wonder how this would all turn out. What if we didn't work out? Is it worth it to risk the bond between us just to try to get into some new territory, somewhere that I haven't got to explore before until now? And if it did, what if along the way the situation gets too rough and one of us just give up? Our friendship is something that I treasure the most, and just by thinking of it being ruined made me feel bad.

Wanting to distract myself from my own thoughts, I went out of the car, making sure to lock it first before I started walking towards the entrance of the establishment. I'm not going to enter, just going to wait for Rein to come out. I sat on one of the benches in front of the convenience store before I took out my phone, starting to scroll around and mess with it.

But after a few minutes, I felt someone looking at me. With a scowl on my face, I looked around to see who it was, and my eyes landed on a guy standing a few meters away from me. When he saw me looking back at him he showed me a trying-hard flirty smile and just the sight of it makes me wanna fucking puke.

Giving him a blank stare, I ignored him and went back to my phone, not giving mind to the fucker. How dense is he not to know that I'm basically telling him to fuck off?

And a few moments later I can feel someone near me, the smell of the person's perfume so strong it gave me nausea. It wouldn't take a genius that it is anyone but Rein, so with a frown I looked up to see the guy who's staring at me earlier.

"Hey, there."

I glared at him. "Fuck off."

He looked shocked for a moment before the look on his face morphed into one of amusement. "Ooh, you're a feisty one, aren't you? Come on, tell me, what's your name."

"Can't you fucking understand what 'fuck off' means?"

"Stop playing hard to get, mister. My name's Ice, what's—"

"I would fucking appreciate it if you will stay away from him." He was cut off by Rein, his voice calm but hostility seeping out of it. The guy looked back to face him, a frown on his face.

"And why would I? It—"

"If you don't want me to use force then I suggest that you get the fuck away. He's not available, if that's what you want to know." His face remained friendly and calm, but his eyes showed the opposite. The sight of it made me want to back down, and it's not easy for someone to do that. I guess that this fucker wanna piss himself.

Sensing his hostility, the guy muttered a 'sorry' before walking away, leaving the two of us alone. I returned my gaze to him and saw him frowning, and I made the move to bump his shoulder.

"Stop that, Rein. Let's just go now."

He just sighed and nodded before walking, not waiting for me. It caused a frown to appear on my face and I followed him, confused with his actions.

"Oi, Rein." I tried calling him but he didn't look back. He just kept on walking like he doesn't hear a single fucking thing.

I jogged closer to him and grabbed his arm, stopping him from walking further. I held him in a tight grip and pulled him close, shifting myself to position myself in front of him. "Oi, Rein. What the hell is your problem?"

"Nothing." He looked away from my gaze, choosing to look down at his side. It made my frown deepened, utterly confused with his behavior.

"I don't think so. If it's nothing you won't be acting like a kid in a tantrum."

He sighed and adjusted the paper bag in his hand before running his hand through his hair. "I said it's nothing, Levi. It's nonsense. Nothing worth of the time we're wasting so let's just go—"

"Stop acting like a damn kid and tell me what's fucking eating you." I kept my glare at him, not relenting to his excuses. He sighed again and looked away.

"I'm jealous, okay?" His voice came out soft and quiet but the bitter tone in it didn't slip past my hearing. I resisted the laugh that's threatening to come out and just stared at him blankly.

"Rein I—"

"Sorry, I just didn't like it when some—"

I held a finger to his lips to cut him off, a small smile on my lips as I stared at the confused look on his face. "You know, I would've fucking punched that guy if you didn't came to the scene. Have you seen him flirt? Hell, it's so fucking terrible I thought I'm gonna puke."

A smile blossomed on his lips before he chuckled, the uneasiness flowing out of him earlier now gone. "Is that so?"

"Yeah, now stop acting like a damn brat and let's go to wherever you want to bring me."

He nodded again and we started walking side by side until we reached his car. After setting in the goods he bought, we buckled in and he started driving, the silent atmosphere earlier replaced by the mingle of our voices, having casual talks of what's happening in our lives now.

Soon enough the concrete buildings and swarm of cars were gone, the sight replaced by a view of a plain, green grass covering it. It was a pleasant sight to look at, having used to seeing different city things shitting all over the place.

The road we're taking is a slope, and I know that it's a place that we've went to before. The way we're travelling to looks so awfully familiar, and my mind started to search for any memories in the back of my mind to remind me if this place.

"Do you remember this path we're travelling at, Levi?" I tore my gaze away from the outside and looked at him, him looking elated as his mind play out things in his mind for him to remember.

I shook my head, opting to look away from him and return my gaze outside, leaning my forehead on the window. "It looks fucking familiar but I can't put my damn finger on it."

Taking a sidelong glance to look at me, he smiled fondly at me. "You'll remember what it is once we reached the place."

I remained silent after that, soaking my eyes up with the view while rummaging my mind for any clues that will help me remember what this place was. I'm sure that it is something significant to us if he decided to drive out of the city.

While travelling, I didn't notice falling asleep. I was just woken up by the gentle tapping on my shoulder which caused me to stir, leaving me completely unaware of the surroundings. I got out and stretched, rubbing my eyes to remove sleepiness.

"What—" I was cut off when I saw the place, not believing how long it was since the last time we came here. It has been years, but seeing the place brought back the memories back from when we were children, innocent and carefree.

It was a high place—you can say that it's one of the mountainous part of the area—and it was giving the view of a field of green grass below. The grass was being swayed by the wind, the setting sun spreading out hues of orange, red and purple, painting the whole place beautifully just like a picture.

"So, I guess that you like it?" I turned my head to look at him, to see that stupid fond look on his face as he stared at me lovingly. It made the butterflies in my stomach erupt, causing my heart to beat like a hummingbird's wings, all the air leaving my lungs.

He looked beautiful at the moment, his chocolate brown hair swaying along the wind, his tan skin was being colored by the light of our surroundings, leaving an orangish hue on it. The colors brought out the beauty of his amber colored eyes, color as rich as honey, and I can't helo but feel myself fall for him deeper.

Fuck all of the doubts I'm having. I'm going to risk it all, risk everything we have to have the chance of waking up next to him each day.

"You fucker, you should've told me that you're going to bring me here."

He laughed and inched closer to me, wrapping one of his arms around my waist as he looked ahead of us, staring at the view of the plain that erupted into different colors.

"I was thinking of bringing you somewhere. I thought hard and nothing appealed to me until I remembered this place."

I let a smile made its way to my face as the wind blew past us, watching as the sun slowly hides from the horizon, giving way to the stars that's just hiding above.

"It's great to bee back here. It's just a waste that your twin isn't here to complete us."

He tightened his grip around me and pulled me closer to him before I felt his breath on top of my head. He started nuzzling it, leaving a kiss before answering. "It's okay, you'll see him again soon."

"I fucking wish so, I also miss Eren, that troublemaker." He chuckled before he went to my back and now wrapped both arms around me waist and I couldn't help but lean in and melt into his touch. It feels so welcoming, so safe like a safe haven. And I know that somehow it is, and I don't want anyone or anything to ruin it for me. I rested my hands on top of his and he made the move to lace our fingers together.

"We'll be complete soon again, Levi. Just wait a little longer."

"I was able to wait for five long damn years. I guess that waiting a little longer wouldn't be that hard." He hummed and rested his chin on my shoulder.

And with that, we stayed silent, just staring at the horizon with our hands linked as watched as the world turns into a dark, but beautiful night.
