Shingeki no High School (Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan AU Fan Fiction)

17. Truly Happy (Levi x Petra)

Levi's Point of View

Recommended Reading First:
Chapter 8, 14, 15, 16 (Optional)

Setting: Disneyland. But instead of Mickey Mouse and the crew, imagine cute little Titan cartoons. Bean and Sawney Amusement Park.

(Quick Note: Levi is 5'3" and Petra is 5'1".... it's canon)

The crowd of children ran toward the entrance and their tired parents trailed behind. I sat far off the side trying to avoid as much physical contact as possible.  I hear a loud scream behind me, making my ears feel as if they're about to explode. I turn around and give a sharp glare. The bald kid runs to his mom crying with snot coming from his nose. 

I look around and see even more Connie looking, snot nosed, brats. Seriously, why am I here. I hate dirty places like this. I only went here once but with all those kids, and that was a terrible experience. I feel my face scringe as I remember spending a whole 10 minute Ferris Wheel ride with Connie. (Referencing Chapter 8: First Kiss)

I shake the thought out of my head and get up from the bench. Maybe I should leave. Petra would understand, she knows I hate this place.

A few seconds after I decide to leave I see a small petite girl run over waving at me.

She awkwardly stops in front of me and blushes immediately, "Thank you for coming, I really didn't expect you to come." Her smile widens, making me feel guilty for considering to leave her here. 

I scratch the back of my head, "Yeah.. I like this place anyways. I go to the Sean and Bawnie amusement park all the time."

She giggles, "You mean Bean and Sawnie?"

I lay my hands on her shoulder and turn her around so we can enter the park right away, "Doesn't matter, lets go."

We stand in line under the hot sun for 30 minutes, and I feel myself starting to go crazy already. "You alright Levi?

"Of course." I reply

"Your glare looks much more powerful than usual", She pinches my cheeks looking up at me. I see kids cowering around me. The parents looked at Petra amazed at how she wasn't afraid of me too.

She released my cheeks and lifted my hands. "Lets play a game?" 

"So I place my hands under yours and you try to move your hand away before I slap the top of your hand then..." (The game is hot hands)

I stopped listening and just watched her as she continued to explain. She was wearing a girly pink dress that just stopped at the top of her knees. She must've done some overnight hair treatment cause her hair looked much softer than usual. Her eyelashes were thick and her lips looked so soft. She was naturally beautiful, everybody knew that. I was the only one who hasn't noticed since... that night. I feel myself get embarrassed but I keep my facial expression the same. I can't believe I acted like such a wimp. I could'nt help it though, Petra is the only person I've ever met that can make me like that. After that night I made a promise to myself to never act that soft ever again, even to Petra.

"Start!" Petra says snapping me out of my thoughts. She quickly slaps my hand catching me off guard. "C'mon try" 

Nope, not going to be soft, even to Petra. 

The next three rounds I beat her without mercy. "Switch"

She sighs, realizing the game isn't as fun as she thought it would be. She tries to move her hands away as quickly as she could but I end up hitting her hand with a big 'smack noise.
