"Is something wrong?"

Eren blinked at the gentle question just before he realised that he had been staring at her the entire time, "N-no, I just, uhh–!" He could feel his tanned skin heating up when he heard the snickers of his current teammates, "I mean...!"

"Stop your blabbering, Jaeger," Levi rolled his eyes, sending a hard look to his squad, whom immediately shut up at the expression, "If you have a damn question, then just ask it."

Kagome smiled encouragingly at Eren, noticing that he did want to ask something, "I will answer it as best as I can." She said, causing the brunet to swallow thickly.

"Well..." Eren looked away, still feeling a bit uncomfortable being the centre of attention, "You don't have to answer, Kagome, but I just wanted to know how old you are."

Everyone blinked as they were clearly surprised by the question, "You should know better, Eren," Petra shook her head with a disapproving look, "You should never ask a woman her age." She glared at Oluo when he let out a snort in response to her comment.

"Oh, I don't mind," Kagome tilted her head a bit, looking back on her horse to glance at Eren, "I just turned nineteen a couple months before I ended up here."

She certainly didn't expect the reaction that she got.

"WHAT!?"

Everyone except for Levi gasped, though it was Eren who looked the most shocked of them all, "Y-you're nineteen!?" He gave her another look over, "I just thought... that you were my age." He mumbled lowly.

But even if she was older than him, that still didn't matter to him at all.

"Tch," Levi let out a noise of annoyance, hiding his own shock behind his usual stoic expression because he had also thought she was Eren's age, "What's the big deal? She still acts like a damn child." He ignored the glare from said 'child'.

"Yeah, well," Kagome grumbled, knowing that she should not have expected any less, "How old are you, Levi?" She noticed that his squad all leaned forward on their horses, seemingly very interested in the answer just as she was.

"Older than you," Levi simply said, earning disappointed sighs, though he ignored them, "That's all you need to know."

"I'll find out," Kagome muttered, suddenly feeling determined when Levi turned back to glare at her, "Don't think you can hide it for long."

After all, he couldn't be that much older than she was.

Right?
