You come home from work, but you don't see Erwin at home. The kids are not home as well, and Erwin isn't picking up your calls. What do you think is happening???

DAMNNNNN Reiko Ackerman! Tricky question!

If I've had a particularly rough day at work, I'll probably have a meltdown right at the door because they're all I need to be around at that moment. I'll manically pace through all the rooms with the phone glued to my ears. You and Levi will be receiving a couple calls too, asking about my absconding husband's whereabouts lol.

Erwin will have a few very angry voicemails, followed by some desperate and teary ones :( [he plays them loudly later that night just to see me get red with embarrassment]

THE WORST comes to my mind and I'm freaking out. Someone kidnapped my giant husband and our minions. Something happened to the kids so they are all at the hospital. Thanos snapped his fingers and my family is now dust. The absolute worst.

Levi hears you complaining about Statistics from a distance and FORCES… no, THREATENS Erwin to offer you tutoring. Erwin, the dutiful friend does as asked.

And suddenly, I’m bad at statistics too and in dire need for tutoring 😂

Cue: hundreds and hundreds of study dates at the coffee shop in the library and the four of us spending late nights in the study pods.

80% of it is fun chit chats and making memories that we’ll reminisce about for the rest of our lives. 20% is really studying because, um, Erwin. And because you really need to pass 😂😂

And um

They walk us to our respective apartments every night however late it gets and i can’t stop uwuing idkdndbekdjdjke 😭😭😭 eventually, they just stay over 👀😏

MRS SMITH I— 😭❤️

wELL thanks to all of you I finally manage to pass my statistics 🥺🥺and yes!!! Spending our after school hours in the library and getting dinner afterwards is the core of our study dates. Erwin fears something will happen every time you and Levi squabble, but I know better than to step in because Levi finally 'met his match' 😂

And of course... Levi dorm is in the opposite direction of mine but he still insists on walking me back every night and making sure I step inside before he walks back to his 🥺

Sometimes Levi stays over in mine because he can't stand it when you are in Erwin's room, because Levi doesn't like sharing his space with other people HAHA. He sometimes tells me he's lazy to walk all the way back, but I know it's because he wants to give you two some privacy :p

1. Give me three songs you and Erwin love slow dancing to!!

-> So instead of the instrumental music we listen to, I’m gonna tell you which worded music is on out playlist:

The Way You Look Tonight – Michael Bublé's version

All of Me – John Legend

Can't’ Help Falling in Love – Elvis Presley

2. What happened the first time you both slow danced?

-> Pretty sure I almost fainted from how giddy I felt! I was just goofing around while Erwin was trying to read (I’m a bit of a menace) – giving him a dramatic performance of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ by Celine Dion while he patiently tried to concentrate on his novel. Since I wasn’t getting the attention I so-desperately craved, I was about to plop down on the couch beside him after the song ended. But just then, ‘Fly Me To The Moon’ by Frank Sinatra began playing.

Now, let me tell you, Erwin is good at most things. But the man can’t sing to save his life. And he casually kept his book aside and began to sing along in this God-awful non-tune that had me in splits. And within a flash, he was off the couch and had swooped me into a dance while I was still wheezing into his chest from how hard I was laughing. And he waltzed around the living room with me, continuing to sing nonchalantly as if he’s Sinatra himself. But the laughter died down eventually and before we knew it, we were seven songs in, glued to each other, and quietly swaying together in perfect harmony.

3. Were there any embarrassing episodes that happened during a slow dance with Erwin?

-> Well, I’m good with casual dancing. But I had to learn ballroom dancing for a black-tie event I was to attend with Erwin. He had never trained for it either. But 10 minutes of Youtube tutorials somehow turned him into a professional while I was still struggling pretty bad. I kept looking down at our feet while dancing because I was terrified that he was gonna step on my toes. And given how tiny I am compared to him, my fear of a broken toe was justified, okay?

He got irritated because I’d never learn if I kept looking down and was attempting to lift my face to face his own. And I got annoyed with his constant instructions, and lifted my head up at full speed. Neither of us have no memory of what happened, but my head hit his nose at break-nose speed (haha, get it?), and the next thing we realized was that blood was flowing out of it like the fucking Niagra.

So, I had to drive him to the hospital in the middle of the night, two days before the event, to get it patched. We attended the party with a giant bandage on his face as he made all attendees aware of how I was responsible for his look for the night. Ugh, he still gives me an earful about it sometimes.

Now, time for my questions for you! Just asking 2 this time since I know they're going to have loooong answers!

Have you two met each other’s families yet? How did the first meeting go?

What was your family’s first impression of Levi? And what is it today?

Levi: Oh. You're back.

Rei: I hope you bring Erwin over for a visit soon Mia!!!

What's your favorite time to walk them? Morning or evening? When you can, do both you and Erwin go?

I can picture the whole neighborhood smiling when seeing The Smiths all out together. You get hellos and waves from husbands and wives doing yardwork or out walking as well.

The kids jump off their bikes to come pet the puppies. I hope they're ready for lots of grabby hands!

Neighbors Miche and Nanaba remind you of the block party Sunday. You're all ready with some famous recipes. Soon, dogs, kids and adults will be out mingling, eating and playing games on yards and in the street.

Ah! I wanna come!

Lizaaaa!! hey heyyy! The way my face lit up after seeing this ask :')

Heellooo! Human and Puppy Smiths are all doing great! What about the Kirsteins?

Yes, we have a Corgi and a Golden Retriever named Cappuccino and Albus. Cappy is Albus' annoying, mean little brother. But Albus only sees the good in him and they're inseparable!

We walk them multiple times a day! Erwin is usually out and about at the crack of dawn and takes Albus with him on his morning run. Cappy, who is very much like me, is neither a morning pupper, nor a runner.

Back when you two were students, you would frequently see Erwin studying in the library, and you thought to yourself "god he's so hot I wish he can vet my homework." as you kept staring at Erwin.

Your little stares weren't missed by Erwin of course, because a grumpy guy with black hair sitting opposite him kept whispering "oi, that girl over there has been staring at you for ages," to him, and Erwin couldn't help it but turn to where his friend was pointing, only to be charmed by you instead.

He walked over and introduced himself, and upon looking at your notes, he realised that you two were taking the same major. And guess who really did vet your homework for you....

Tl;dr, you and Erwin would have cute library study dates FOR SURE.

The WAY I sighed after reading this OH GOD. My heart can’t deal with this college romance 😭

Levi, the grompy old cupid setting me up with his bestie. And why was he looking this way you ask?

Like, what does Erwin ALWAYS have in his fridge?

Or, what movie genre does he completely despise?

OR, what is Hanges preferred pizza topping??

Heeeelllooo Liza! Of course we're still self-shipping!!!

Erwin always hassss.. Our jug of cold brew for the week, organic spring mix with mason jars of different dressings, at least one avocado, a few different types of cheese, smoked prosciutto slices, way too many fresh vegetables. I sneak the occasional slice of pizza or take-out from Panda express in there from time to time lol.

I don't think he despises any movie genre as such. But he isn't a fan of watching movies heavy on melancholia. He doesn't like how they make him feel low for the rest of the day

+ Historical movies that twist facts to create drama, or sci-fi movies that totally disregard physics are his pet peeves :P he complains to the point where other movie watchers have to shush him :(

Erwin kicks Levi out of their dorm and helps you move all your stuff into his because his dorms is nearing to the engineering block where you all are studying. Erwin's 'glad' to kick Levi out because a) Levi nags too much, and b) Levi always does work at night and the lights keep Erwin up. Erwin loves having you over at his dorm because you sleep for 8hrs and so does he. He also appreciates the healthier meals you prepare, especially Indian food and curries, although he can't really take spice hehe 🤭

Levi is also glad to move into my dorm because he can't stand Erwin's snores and sleep talking. Also, he loves the fact that I have food all around the house. Erwin and him are used to buying takeout all the time, and he's used to feeling hungry when he's studying in the middle of the night. But with me around, he always has freshly cooked meals to eat, and a late night snack ready when he needs it. Also, not a good thing but, I'm also a night owl, and now he doesn't have to worry about someone complaining that the lights are too bright 😂

Erwin's kicking Levi out? Oops, I'll keep the first aid kit handy😂

Also, poor blondie is going to be in for a shocker. I nag too hahahaha. There's no winning for him lol. Something that's totally new for him is the amount of long, wavy black hair that he finds everywhere now X) On his desk, in his bag, in the shower, on the floor, his clothes, and even his own head 🤭 It baffles him, the places my hair manages to get to!

He was mortified after Levi plucked one out of his stubble during class HAHAH! He's so close to buying a lint roller like people have for their pets 🙄
