Family Titles
Levi cleaned and organized the already spotless and orderly classroom until he finally felt content with how it looked and joined Hanji and Eren who were sitting on and around his desk.
"We brought lunch today," Levi said pulling a plastic bag out of his normal bag.
Eren was confused he didn't remember Levi making lunch. He normally made it in the morning after breakfast, but that hadn't happened this morning. He tried to think of when he had the time then he realized when he got back from Hanji's there was a plastic bag sitting on the counter that looked half full. 'Ah, that makes sense.' Eren thought with a shrug decided to make it a little early.
There was a knock on the classroom door which made the three turn around to try and figure out who was there. They knew it wasn't Erwin because he would have walked straight into the room without knocking. They thought it must be a student who had come early.
"Yes?" Levi asked loud enough so that the person beyond the heavy door could hear him.
The door slowly opened and a familiar face appeared. "Sorry I guess I came to early and I really didn't know where to wait. Do you mind if I wait in here?" TJ asked embarrassed as he stood awkwardly in the doorway.
"Of course you can," Eren answered with a bright smile.
TJ nodded and took a seat in the very back of the class like the day before.
'I almost forgot that after the first day they open the gates to the school an hour early.' Eren thought remembering how many days he would walk in and go straight to Levi's class.
"So your sister didn't come with you?" Levi asked seeing TJ sitting there alone.
"No, she's getting a ride with my mom," TJ said playing with the ties on his jacket as he tried to avoid any eye contact.
"That's cool. Anyways, sweetheart, would you like to join us up here?" Hanji said pointing at the chair next to Levi's desk.
TJ hesitated for a moment almost declining the offer but he decided against it standing up with an uncertain nod. He shyly walked up to the front of the empty class leaving his backpack at his desk to hold the seat for him.
"There we go," Hanji said happily as TJ took a seat with the friendly group of teachers.
"We are just missing two members of the family, the sociable daughter Alex, and the grumpy uncle Eyebrows," Hanji said jokingly only to jump when she heard someone in the doorway clear their throat.
"Well, it seems the grumpy uncle is here," Levi added laughing at Hanji's embarrassed face as she turned around to face Erwin. "How's it going les sourcils," Levi said with a smirk.
"I know what that means Levi," Erwin said with an unamused stare.
"Never said you didn't," Levi said cockily he folded his arms with a smirk.
"I just came to check in on you three to make sure one of you, Erwin looked at Hanji, "Doesn't burn down their classroom," He stated with an accusing glare.
"Hey, that was once, "Hanji paused, "No, twice, but one of them wasn't my fault it was the kids." She said innocently rubbing the back of her neck.
"Yes the kids you were supposed to be watching, also the second time you almost blew yourself up. Remember that was not a fun hospital visit." Erwin said making his point. "Or the several other times you set off the fire alarm over nothing." He folded his arms and gave a silencing stare.
"Okay, you have me there," she said shrugging knowing that she had no rebuttal for that. What Erwin was saying was the truth little does he know there are a couple more than just those two times.
Eren held his laughter for as long as he could before letting a few giggles slip.
"Maybe Eren should have been working under you just to make sure you don't injure yourself or the students," Erwin said shaking his head, "never mind Eren would probably edge you on," Erwin chuckled focusing his teasing on the former student.
"Would not," Eren pouted, "I'm not that reckless." He said making sure to emphasize the that. He crossed his arms in protest as Levi laughed at him.
"No you are better suited under Levi," Erwin smiled, "I need a witness to make sure the rumors of Levi punching students in the face are just that, rumors." Erwin had laughed before turning to TJ. "Sorry you have to deal with these unprofessional teachers. Anyways, I hope you have a good day I need to finish up my before school preparations before first period starts." Erwin said with a kind smile before bowing his head and leaving.
Eren swore he had heard TJ giggle at Erwin's constant loving teasing of his friends. Eren smiled hearing the boy laugh it was a pleasant sound. He felt like Hanji with how much he cared for this kid almost as much as she cared for her boys. Hanji had always been the motherly one, no matter how reckless she may be, she always cared for her friends like a mother would when needed. Erwin and Levi would sometimes act like they are tired of her constant motherly nature, but they really appreciate it, though getting them to admit that was impossible. Eren on the other hand constantly told her how much he was grateful to have her constant love.
"Wait if we are all a family what does that make me?" Levi asked raising an eyebrow as her previous statement had peaked his interest. He was afraid he was going to regret asking and he was right.
"You would be the mean yet overprotective gay dad," Hanji said with a smile. Before Levi could reply back to her about his title in this so called family he was cut off.
"What would I be?" Eren asked.
"You would be the other gay dad who is extremely creative and sympathetic. Also who acts more like the mother with how much worrying he does over the kids," Hanji laughed. Eren went to comment on his title and he was cut off by Hanji. "And I would be the crazy aunt who loves her family too death." She said with pride in her self proclaimed yet agreeable title.
"You forgot to add reckless and klutzy." Levi laughed adding to her title for her.
"You're right I'm the klutzy reckless insane aunt who loves her family too death." She said correcting herself.
"What would I be?" TJ asked quietly remembering that she said his sister was the sociable daughter.
"You, you would be the fabulous meek and caring son." She said patting his head lightly.
TJ nodded smiling a bit at his title. He seemed to like it.
They all heard their titles and they all seemed to fit them pretty well even if they didn't want to admit it. They all had let a small smile play onto their faces as they thought about their family and all of their relatives who weren't next to them in the moment that they would have to give titles to later on.
