[Despite his lack of enthusiasm, Ishida still looks as energetic as ever. Partly because they did a good deed and partly because he's genuinely pleased by the thought of having a cleaning buddy.]
That's right! Or do you prefer to go with 'cleaning comrades?!'
[ ...well, then. he's actually kind of impressed. it doesn't show, of course, but there aren't many who are willing to put up with his neurotic cleanliness bullshit, and he can't really boss people around like before. volunteers are unheard of.
the level of enthusiasm here is a little weird, though. ]
[ he wasn't really sure what to expect when he opened the door, but it wasn't... well. this. he shoots Eren a scrutinizing look, not yet stepping aside to let him in. ]
[ levi’s always had a way with words!! a humorous way!! that eren sometimes is sure he should be laughing because those are jokes he makes, and jokes were made to laugh at humorously right, right. eren would like to at least smile at the not humor, butttt he is a little concerned.
he tries, but it comes out more worried than anything. ]
[ he’ll let himself in with a slight nod, dragging his feet on a mat. to remove some dirt on the boots, of course, he doesn’t want to dirty levi’s floor too much. or bring in some superbacteria. ]
But . . . There is something going on. Is there anything else that doesn’t match with your memory?
[ he watches pointedly as Eren drags his boots on the mat. it's a good start, but— ]
Shoes off.
[ Eren may notice that Levi's apartment is small and minimalist and impossibly clean. shocker, right? to be fair, he.... doesn't entertain guests here much. or at all.
[ socks were intimate!! he’s never been to levi’s home and some people would rather not, he knows, but— he had a feeling. it’s a good thing he didn’t invite himself in immediately after, and does what he’s told without a word. shoes off, of course.
(he does this in his apartment too)
let’s not forget: hand sanitizer. eren has one of those travel bottles in his pocket, and once he’s in, he uses that and uses it the correct way.
and before he talks about any of that . . . he holds it out. ]

[ yeah, that's right. eat it. ]
I'm pretty sure they're not poisoned.
june event > akane
It's absolutely the same for me. Seems I've always been this way.
[ "tidy" is a huge understatement, actually, but that much might be pretty obvious by now. ]
Can't stand it. People like that can go "function" somewhere else.
[ because otherwise he'll just invite himself to clean it all up. ]
june event > ishida
Cleaning buddies.
[ just making sure he heard that right. ]
june event > gamzee
Cool. I'll keep that in mind.
[ not in a billion years. ]
No, they're from the store. They were on clearance because they're weird-looking. But whatever, a cupcake's a cupcake, who gives a shit.

no subject
Those are mad rad cupcakes? What’s makin’ ‘em look weird? [ he feasts his eyes on what remains. ] It’s so colorful . . .
no subject
...Yeah, okay. That sounds a little more professional.
[ he's not used to making friends, in case you can't tell. ]
no subject
[Ishida's eyes begin to flare up. HIS YOUTHFUL PASSION CAN'T BE STOPPED NOW...]
That means whenever you need help cleaning something, I'll help! No task is too small or big!
no subject
Uh, I don't know, food coloring? I don't think it's that complicated.
[ what exactly do you think is happening here, man. ]
no subject
the level of enthusiasm here is a little weird, though. ]
—Right. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
[ that is a dangerous offer, my friend. ]

[ he wasn't really sure what to expect when he opened the door, but it wasn't... well. this. he shoots Eren a scrutinizing look, not yet stepping aside to let him in. ]
Oh, don't tell me you turned into a hippie, too.
[ he's only mostly kidding. ]
no subject
he tries, but it comes out more worried than anything. ]
How’re you feeling?
no subject
he narrows his eyes at this strange Eren-like creature in his doorway. should he let it in? will it lose control and try to eat his furniture?
...eh, probably not. he steps aside somewhat reluctantly to let Eren inside. ]
Uh, fine? I think I'm the one who should be asking that.

Anything else? No, I thought it was just you.

Want some?
no subject
well, whatever. he holds his hand out. ]
Since when do you care this much about this shit?
no subject
It sort of . . . Turned into a habit when I started working. [ and since levi doesn’t seem to remember— ] At the hospital?
[ remember??? ]
no subject
Yeah, no, I have no idea what you're talking about. It's starting to get annoying.
[ weren't things weird enough before all this? god. ]
