Yeet! I'm back!//

This wasn't going to be fun. Levi could sense deep in his bones that Jax was going to pry about things and argue with him and shit, and Levi really wasn't prepared to deal with that. He was probably going to go and buy groceries soon. It was 10 and Levi definitely didn't have the ingredients needed to cook anything but ramen. "I don't eat it all at once."

"Yeah, no dip." He said, pursing his lips and wrinkling his nose. "When did you last go through here and buy groceries?" He asked, his voice full of disgust as the smell of rotten vegetables filled the room.

"Uh…" Levi hadn't been shopping in… a month? A month and a half? Honestly, he couldn't remember. All he could remember was how much he'd hated the grocery store. How nervous he'd been as he struggled to pick out the correct items amidst loud bangs that made him want to scramble for the hills and people pushing themselves into is space.

"Fine." Jax huffed. "We're going shopping tomorrow. And there's no way you can get out of it Levi Akerman." He closed the fridge door with a bang. "I suppose ramen will have to do for now."

"Akerman?" Levi raised an eyebrow in a judgmental question. His last name certainly wasn't Akerman, it was Animus. Levi Animus.

Jax waved his hand to wave the question away. "It's an anime reference, don't worry about it." He said, laughing at his own little joke. "It's because your tall!"

"Okay." Levi shrugged and decided to let that conversation die. He was mostly relieved that he wouldn't have to go to the grocery store until tomorrow because by tomorrow he could come up with an excuse to stay home. He had time to prepare himself.

Jax began to cook the ramen with a disgusted look on his face. "Where did you even get this much ramen anyhow?" He asked, pouring the ramen into a bowl.

(Sorry I haven't been on the internet's been freaking out and I haven't had the time to reply.)

Levi shrugged. Ever since the great grocery store freakout of last month, he'd been avoiding big stores. This cut out like… 80% of stores and he had been buying most of his food from the convenience store. Which definitely wasn't healthy but neither was subjecting himself to freakouts everytime he left the house.

"Very descriptive," Jax said dryly, handing the ramen filled bowl to Levi. "So, you were a soldier? I suppose that is giving you paranoia about going into large stores, them reminding you of warzones?" Jax was not a people person, he was however a reader of people.

How did Jax know that? Levi hated having him around enough as it was- Jax was a useless waste of money because Levi did know how to take care of himself despite what Flora and Sequoia might think- but now he was uncovering things that Levi was too ashamed of to talk about with close friends. Things that made him recoil because he should be stronger damn it. He had served in the military and he had killed people but he couldn't walk through a grocery store? It was pathetic. And there was no way he was talking about it with a stranger. "That's none of your business."

"I know, but if you were wondering how I knew that. My sisters were in the military, only one came back and she does the same thing. Also, take the fucking bowl of ramen." Jax says, now basically shoving the bowl into Levi's hands.

Levi took the bowl with a frown, grabbing some forks from a nearby drawer and tossing one in Jax's general direction. He sat down at the counter and began eating. At least he knew why Jax had brought up his issues. "Sorry about your sister."

"It's fine, it was a long time ago." He said, trying to catch the fork and ending up failing miserably. "Shit." He muttered as he grabbed the fork off the floor.

Levi snorted, eating his ramen a little more vigorously. It might've been the tiniest bit rude to laugh after Jax had shared about his sister, but Levi wasn't inclined to be nice to him.

"Oh piss off." Jax hissed in Levi's direction and began to wash off his fork, sticking out his tongue at Levi. "I have so many more nicknames to come up with for you.~"

"This is my house, idiot. I can do what I want." Levi continued to dig into his food, finishing up a few minutes later. He dropped his bowl and fork in the sink and began plotting his escape from the grocery store tomorrow.

"Meh, I just have to wash these suckers than I get to go home and pretend you don't exist for a whole night." He said, doing what can only be described as sarcastic jazz hands…

"Oh boy." Levi hopped off the stool he'd been eating at and shambled around the room for a while. "How much do I pay you? Or have my friends covered the bill?" They better have covered the bill or Levi was going to murder them.

"Your friendos did." He said, raising his eyebrows and grabbing his bag from the floor after he shoved the dishes in the washer (Gently.) "Bye nerd." He said, walking out the door.
