"What a goddamn waste of time." Levi remarked with a sour tone, as he watched his idiotic brunette friend giggle in excitement. After dishing out a respectable amount of cash and practically throwing it at the man collecting said cash, she linked arms with the angry man and dragged him into a festive tent. Levi immediately regretted allowing Hanji to drag him here. his steely hues spotting all the grimy and unclean things that were discarded in the tent.

"Disgusting." Levi hissed between gritted teeth, a scowl slowly working it's way to his face. Hanji let out yet another hearty laugh, before unhooking her arm from his own, and slinging it over his shoulders.

"Lighten up down there, Levi! It's Halloween, everyone's having a good time besides you. I think I'm going to call you Short Sourpuss from now on." Hanji teased, earning a swift kick to the shin from Levi.

"I don't give a shit if it's Halloween or not. This is a giant pain in the ass, and a waste of time." Levi retaliated sternly, and Hanji let out a small sigh.

"Honestly... you can be such a bummer, Levi. I don't want to be late for the show though, so hurry your short legs!" Before Levi could once again hurt her, Hanji ran off. Levi clicked his tongue, feeling that it was his responsibility to make sure Hanji doesn't do anything stupid. After some self conflict, he followed after the wild brunette, and sat down next to her. After Hanji slowly calmed down, the lights began to slowly dim. A few cheesy sound effects of bats screeching and a witch laughing began playing, causing Levi to roll his eyes.

"Can this get any lamer?" Levi whispered to himself, but Hanji was too engrossed in the show in front of them to care. Levi watched with judgmental eyes as the show continued on, as he pointed out all the flaws in each act. The most obvious one was wires holding up the supposedly flying bats. Levi didn't so much as crack a smile throughout this entire thing, whereas Hanji was going bonkers next to him.

"Isn't this the coolest?" Hanji asked as she momentarily turned to look at Levi. Levi just quietly shook his head, not wanting to be even more of an ass than necessary. Hanji was enjoying herself, and even if this was the shittiest thing he wasted time doing on Halloween, he'd bare it. After the act of a bunch of screeching germ infected children was finished, the announcer came back on. Levi noted her crimson red scarf, and the girl next to her was munching on a ton of food.

"Our next performance is our wonderful magician." The girl spoke with her mouth full, causing the girl with a scarf to sigh. She took the mic from her, and started dully at the crowd.

"She's wonderfully talented, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the wondrous (Name) (Last name)!" Although her voice contrasted the enthusiasm of the script, everyone else could care less, being too engrossed in this show. Clapping thundered throughout the room, and Levi was confused as to why. This (Name) (Last name) would probably just be another shitty magician that pulled off some lame and fake tricks. Levi leaned back and smirked, awaiting to pick apart this person's every flaw.

He was a bit taken back when a beautiful woman joined the stage. She had thin tights that wrapped around her smooth legs, coal black high heels, a standard magician shirt unbuttoned just to show a small bit of cleavage - and of course, a nice hat on top. The men began cheering even louder, and for some reason unknown to him, that bothered Levi.

"Thank you for your wonderful applause, and for coming out on Halloween." Once her sugared voice reached Levi's ears, he felt any doubts of coming here melt away. With his mouth set in a straight line, he watched as she brought her hand out, a bouquet of a simple yet gorgeous array of flowers popping up, accompanied by a dove flying into the air. Even if this was a somewhat basic trick - Levi couldn't help his growing intrigue with the woman.

And much to his surprise, her eyes darted to his, and a smirk formed on the base of her glossed lips.

"May I... please have a volunteer?" With a feline like gaze, she continued staring in Levi's general direction, but never once looked him in the eye. Many members of the crowd raised their hands - mostly men - but Levi was still for a moment. Deciding to succumb to whatever this woman was planning, he raised his hand, which caused Hanji to look at him bewildered.

"Wh-What? Did someone spike your drink?" Hanji whispered to him, and he just shot her a glare. The smirk remained on the young magician's lips, as she pointed one of her gloved fingers at Levi.

"How about you, sir?" She asked, before curling her finger in a beckoning motion. Levi silently got up, as a few people turned around to stare at the man that was chosen. Hanji however, was screeching like a damn baboon. It was quite embarrassing. Levi just ignored it, and walked towards the stage, his hands stuffed into his pocket. Even in front of a large audience, there was no way in hell was going to smile or any of that cute cheeky shit. As soon as he walked onto the stage, he got a waft of (Name)'s perfume. He had to resist inhaling her scent. It was a combination between pumpkin and spices - but smelt intoxicating to the man.

"May I ask for your name?" (Name) whispered to Levi, and Levi pursed his lips for a moment.

"--Levi." He finally spoke, and she nodded her head in appreciation, her shiny (h/c) hair matching her movements.

"Very well. Levi, please stand over there." With a motion of her hands, she pointed to the center of the stage. Although Levi felt reluctant to leave this strangely enticing woman's side, he slowly moved to his destination.

"I will be making this handsome bloke disappear. But, unlike most magicians, he will not be going into a box - no, you'll see him disappear." After (Name) spoke her words, the audience slowly grew silent, anticipation building up in their guts. Everyone was wondering, how would she do this supposed trick? (Name) brought out a stack of cards, and began throwing them in each hand, in a professional attempt at shuffling.

"Now..." She trailed off, and gave Levi a reassuring look. He himself was a bit confused as to how the hell this would work, but decided to not voice his concerns. For once, he'll keep his mouth shut. (Name)'s bright (e/c) gems sparkled as she threw the collection of her cards towards the man. Levi was never a supernatural man, but much to his surprise, and the audience's as well, the cards flew around him - and the dust came off, forming a cloud around the unsuspecting man.

Before he could do anything, his eyelids began to droop, and he fell to the ground.

~*~

With a groan, Levi rubbed his head. His entire back felt sore - not including the stupid headache that was throbbing strongly.

"This is worse than a goddamn hangover... What the hell did I do?" Levi grumbled to himself as he managed to sit up. He looked around him, seeing the fair. With a sigh, he rubbed his temples. 'Oh yeah... stupid Hanji dragged me here. Why do I feel so shitty though?  I feel like I'm forgetting something.' In a sudden movement he saw the crazed brunette known as Hanji standing in front of him, who had a goofy grin plastered on her face.

"Levi! I found you!" Her voice was delighted as she ran over and linked arms with him. Levi scowled at her closeness, and pushed her off.

"What do you mean that you found me? What is-" Levi didn't finish his sour remark as he remembered something. The show, and the magician, (Name) (Last name). What happened?

"Hanji. What's going on? Did the magic trick work or something? Did we leave the show?" Levi inquired to his friend, who looked at him confused for a moment.

"Uh... what magic trick? And what show? Levi, is your head feeling alright? Maybe I should drive you home..." Hanji let out a nervous laugh, while Levi just stood there stunned. With the shake of his head, he decided that perhaps he was seeing things. Last thing he needed was to look mental.

"It's nothing. Forget it." Levi sighed once more, and hoping to take Hanji's mind off what he previously said, he decided to change the subject.

"Say... how about I get you some cotton candy?" Levi asked, and Hanji's concern flew out the window at the mention of candy. Like a child, she eagerly nodded her head. Levi walked past her and towards the station, and got his wallet out. He would think about this later. Even if he didn't really like Halloween, mine as well enjoy the night, right? Once it was his turn to order, he froze, looking at the woman with her (h/c) hair tied up in a ponytail, that was working behind the counter. She had the distinct (e/c) eyes that shimmered in slight recognition at spotting Levi. Since there wasn't anyone in line behind him, he decided to speak up.

"What the hell? Why do you work here? I thought that you were a magician." Levi felt pretty damn confused and stupid when the girl just blinked at his statement, and shook his head.

"Sorry, sir, I don't know what you mean. I'm probably the furthest thing from a magician." Her voice was laced with the utmost uncertainty. Great. Now Levi looked like a nut job, and in front of this cute girl too. Besides, there were plenty of other human beings that looked like this person, probably. Just a coincidence. He quietly bought the cotton candy and handed the (h/c) girl the money, but not before looking at her name tag.

(Name) (Last name).
So this here is a contest entry for :iconaotguysxreader:'s contest ;v; it was a lot of fun to write. If you're confused, well, you can speculate in anyway you wish. Was Levi imagining the entire thing? Up to you. My personal input is that in this story Reader is a supernatural being that likes to play with people's mind. That's what I would do.

I don't own you, or Attack on Titan.
