Levi and Mikey

You've been a fan of anime for a long time now. Of all the characters, you liked two the most: Mikey and Levi.

Your entire room literally screamed it. Posters hung on the walls, figurines sat on the shelves, and pillows with their images lay on the bed. Your friends constantly joked that if these two met, they would cause the end of the world.

That evening, you lay on your bed scrolling through TikTok. It was as if the algorithms were deliberately torturing you: first a video with Mikey, then with Levi, then a "Who would you choose?" comparison, then more clips of them.

After a while, your eyes started to close. The phone fell out of your hands onto the blanket, and you fell asleep.

A bright flash of light hit my eyes.

You opened them abruptly and closed your eyes.

• What the...

The room was filled with a strange golden glow.

When the light finally disappeared, you slowly raised your head.

And froze.

There were two people standing in the middle of the room.

One in the uniform of the Survey Corps.

The other one is wearing a long black cloak.

Your heart almost stopped.

Levi and Mikey.

Real ones.

Alive.

And very angry.

Mikey: Did you drag me here?!

Levi: Are you saying I needed it?

Mikey: There was no one here but you!

Levi: What stupid logic.

Mikey: What did you say?!

They both stepped towards each other.

You sat on your bed, afraid to even move. The atmosphere was growing increasingly dangerous. You were already mentally saying goodbye to your room.

But suddenly they both fell silent.

They turned their heads very slowly. And looked straight at you. You wanted to fall through the floor. Right now. This very second.

Mikey: ...

Levi: ...

Silence. Terrible silence.

Mikey: Is this your room?
