levisgf_ TYSM FOR THE MF BANNER ITS SO PRETTY!]]

"We're finally here!" Connie stretched as soon as we got out of the car, acting all dramatic about it.

"We've only been driving for 10 minutes..." Zeke said. He looked to Eren, who had a smile on his face from watching Connie's dramatic act. Zeke leaned onto the front of Eren's car, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and his lighter.

Suddenly the car that just pulled in beeped, startling Zeke and causing him to drop the lighter and cigarettes.

I laughed a bit, nudging Armin and pointing at Zeke, who left out a long, irritated sigh.

Levi's head peeked out the window of the car, smirking up at Zeke. "Smoking kills, you monkey."

Hange's laughter could be heard from the back of his car, as Erwin emerged from the passenger seat of the car, shaking Zeke's hand. Zeke even smiled. I...never realized how close these guys were.

We left for the dorms the next day, and despite leaving in the early afternoon, we made it here dead at night.

Connie would have to pee, then half an hour later Jean would, then Eren, then Armin, and the cycle just continued.

"We literally told them to not do that stupid water drinking contest— Eren knew he was the designated driver, too." Mikasa complained, running a hand through her hair. "I'm so fucking tired..."

"I—" I started to yawn, covering my mouth with my hand. "—I know. But they never listen..."

The boys were walking way behind us and were unusually quiet. It's not like they aren't night owls, I've literally witnessed them staying up at ungodly hours— till 8 in the morning. All. Of. Them.

"(Y/N), I'm so tired..." Armin whined as he took hold of my hand. "Can't you carry me to my dorm..."

"I would if I had the strength and energy. But as of now, hell no." I smiled down at our hands as he leaned against me. "Plus, we're literally right outside your dorm."

"Fine." Armin gave up as we stopped waking. I kissed him goodnight, waving bye to Eren as well as they groggily entered their dorms.

"And then there were 3!" Connie added, making Mikasa and I look at one another in Confusion. " Oh, great, what did I do this time?"

"There's four of us, Connie—" Jean responded in pure annoyance. "And I'm your roommate! How the hell do you forget me?!"

"I don't know!!"

"Cut it out, dummies!" I interjected. "It's 2 in the fucking morning and I don't feel like getting yelled at by campus staff!"

"She's right, y'know." Mikasa smirked.

Mikasa was dropped off next, Jean and Connie's dorms were the next stop. I was the last— my room literally being on the other side of the building.

When we got to the door, Jean grabbed my arm.

"I don't know if I'm comfortable with—" his yawning interrupted him, "—with you going alone...let us go with..."

Normally, I'd accept the company, but Connie and Jean look absolutely exhausted.

"I'll be fine." I smiled, reassuring the both of them. "Plus, if anyone tries some shit, I've got a switchblade in my pocket." I patted my pocket.

Jean hesitated for a moment and looked back at Connie, who nodded, and Jean let me go.
