(Levi)

I was outside the room where (Y/N) and Noir was choosing a small cage to put Noir in. We were at the vet getting her checked and (Y/N) refused to "let her baby alone."

Not that I'm surprised.

While that was happening I was out here watching our suitcase with our few clothes. We would buy more from there, Noirs stuff that I would give to Erwin and was looking for a cage.

I chose a white one and payed for it and sat down waiting for (Y/N) to come out. About twenty minutes later she came out while holding Noir in her hands.

I stood up and went to them.

"Well?" I asked her.

"She is fine. She's a strong girl, aren't you? " she said and looked at Noir while smiling.

It was cute but I still rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, she is. Now come on, we have to go. " I took Noir from her hands and put her in her small cage.

She panicked a little at first but I let her lick my finger through the door and she calmed down. I grabbed the cage and our suitcase while (Y/N) took the bag with Noirs stuff. Stuff like her bed, sand box, food and a few toys.

"Do you need help?" she asked me.

"No, I'm good. Let's go. " I said and walked out of the door.

She followed behind me, it would take about ten minutes to get to Erwin.

"So, what happened in there? " I asked.

"He did a few check ups and a few vaccines but nothing else. He said she was healthy. " I nodded my head.

"That's good." we walked in silence after that.

After ten minutes we arrived at the house and (Y/N) knocked on the door. Four eyes opened and smiled at us.

"Halloooooo. Oh my God! " she gasped. "Is this little Noir??? She's adorable!! " she looked in the cage and I felt Noir move to the back.

"You are scaring her shitty glasses. "

"Oops, sorry. " she whispered. I rolled my eyes and went in the house with (Y/N) behind me.

We placed everything down and Erwin stood up from the couch.

"Hello. " he said.

"Hi. "

"Hi Erwin, how are you? " (Y/N) asked.

"I'm fine. "

"Look Erwin, isn't she adorable??? " Hange kept whispering.

"Yeah, she is. " Erwin looked in the cage. "So when are you planning to leave? "

"Probably now. We were just going to leave her with you and leave. Her stuff and food are in the bag. " I pointed at it.

"Again, thanks for looking after her." (Y/N) said and I nodded.

"Oh no! Don't leave yet, we are about to have dinner! Stay with us! " Hange yelled and the cage moved.

"Don't yell so much! You are scaring her. " I glared at her.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry little one." she looked at the cage with a puppy eye.

"What do you say? Should we stay? " I asked (Y/N) who was having a small talk with Erwin.

"If you want. I mean, we're not in a hurry, right? "

I nodded.

"Okay, we'll stay for dinner. "

"Yahoo!" she jumped. "Come on (Y/N), you gotta help me. " she basically dragged my girlfriend to the kitchen.

I looked at Erwin.

"Well, will you bring her out or not? "

I nodded and opened the small door. She was at the very back looking scared.

"Hey Noir. Come out, it's okay. " I said but she didn't move. I put my hand inside the cage and let her smell it. After realizing it was me she slowly came out and jumped in my arms looking at her surroundings scared.

I petted her head to calm her down and Erwin did the same.

"She is pretty, when did you get her? "

"A few months ago. It was close to Christmas I think. "

"Hmm, she is very cute. Do you want to go outside? "

"Out? "

"Yeah, on the garden. That's where we were planning to eat. "

"Oh, okay sure. " we walked behind the couch and Erwin opened the balcony door for us to walk outside and we went under the shade where a table was.

The garden was really nice with grass and a small lake. First time I cared enough to look at it. Something was moving inside the lake but I didn't pay attention. Noir looked very scared but that's to be expected, last time she was out of the house was when we found her. And no, I don't count the ride from the shelter to our home.

She was sitting on top of my lap and I was petting her. 

"So," I started. "What happened with the lawyer? "

I don't know much of what happened because I wasn't at the company at the time but apparently two days ago everyone could hear yelling coming from Niles office and he was with Erwin at the time.

"Well, I no longer own the fifty percent of the company, instead I'm at fifteen percent now... I really couldn't believe it at first. " he rubbed his temples.

"What now? " I asked.

"We decided to not go to court and I will get back what I lost but it will take a long time... I can't believe he did this to me. "

"What if he does it again?"

"I won't let it happen again but I will find a way to get in charge of the company. I'm done with what he's done. Because it's not just that. "

"What else did he do? "

"He owes seven hundred thousand dollars to banks and it keeps getting more and more. " he rested his hand on his forehead. "If I don't do something quickly I might lose the company... How did I let this happen?"

"You trusted him, it's not your fault he ended up being a dick " Noir started licking my hand.

"I know but I'm still at fault for not checking in and letting him in charge."

"Still, you need to focus on getting the company out of this mess instead of complain about what you didn't do. "

"You are right. How are you? "

"I'm fine, I didn't go out of the house for two days and I am now ready to go on vacation. "

"Mast be nice. "

"You can as well. "

"I know but I don't want to put stress on Hange right now. She needs to relax. "

"I guess you are right. "

I looked at the balcony door and saw both Hange and (Y/N) coming out with plates, silverware and food. I put Noir down on the grass and stood to help them. I took some of the food and placed it on the table and then I sat down. I looked at Noir walking around on the grass until she came up to the  lake and looked inside.

There were some fish and turtles inside. And they were big... 

The girls sat down and we started putting food on our plates. But first I cleaned my hands with some wipes. 

"So, are you excited for the vacation? " Hange asked. 

"I am for sure. " (Y/N) said. 

I didn't answer and focused on getting food on my plate because honestly, I was very hungry and it smelled so fucking good. 

"Levi, you don't seem so excited. " 

"I am four eyes. I'm just thinking about all the driving. It will take almost ten hours to get there. And (Y/N) doesn't know how to drive so I'll be behind the wheel all the time. " also food. 

"Oh, yeah that makes sense. "

(Y/N) started eating and we did the same. 

"Any idea when the cafe will open again? " (Y/N) asked with a mouthfull.

"Probably in four weeks, that's what Sasha told me, I will go tomorrow and check in to see how everything is going and what the plan is. " Hange replied. 

"That's good." 

We kept eating and talked about Noir, about her food schedule, how they should clean her box, what to do when she walks up to them for no reason. Stuff like that. After that we left a few minutes before two. Noir walked up to me when I was at the door ready to come with us. So I picked her up before she exited the house. 

(Y/N) was already in the car waiting. 

"Oh no, you are not coming with us. " I walked further in the house and placed Noir in Erwins hands. "You are staying here. "

She looked very scared and started mewing. I petted her head but she tried to come to me so I left and closed the door before she had the chance to escape and go out. I walked up to the car and got in and looked at (Y/N) who was looking outside of the window next to me. 

She looked at me. 

"Well? "

"Noir almost followed me outside. Don't worry, she's with Erwin. " I started the car. 

"Aweee." she looked at the house. "Maybe we should have stayed a while longer. "

"I don't think so, she got comfortable with Erwin since he gave her food and four eyes petted her a lot so she'll be fine. She's just too used to being around us. " I went out on the road and started heading towards our destination. 

"I hope you are right. "

"Don't forget I had two cats, they had the same reaction when I first left them at my mom for a few days. "

"Okay. " she said and turned on the music and looked out the window letting the air hit her face.

So... I finished the chapter.... And instead of hitting publish I just saved it and closed my tablet... 😑😒😒😒. Why am I so stupid? 

Anyway. The start of the vacation. Anything specific you would like to see? We're going to spend a few chapters there.
