Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.
teen!Ghost: Okay, so, if I stole from my headmaster, allegedly, would you be mad?
Price: ... why are you using that word?
teen!Ghost: ... which one?
Price: 'Allegedly', Simon. You never use that word unless you hear someone using it
teen!Ghost: I-
Price: What did Nik do? Was he on the phone speaking Russian? Was he using code?
teen!Ghost: He- Why are you bringing Nik into this after what I said!?
Price: If your school calls me then I'll deal with it. Until then, I'm more concerned about Nik. Where. Is. He?
teen!Ghost: ... he's in the garage
Price: Good boy *leaves*
teen!Ghost:
(later)
*teen!Ghost and teen!Gaz are hanging out in teen!Farah's room*
teen!Gaz: Your boyfriend needs to be put in a cage
teen!Ghost: Oh, he's my boyfriend when he's annoying, but your best friend when he isn't??
teen!Gaz: Yep
teen!Farah: Can you two not come in here just to fight-
Nik: *suddenly opens the window and climbs in*
Nik: SIMON-
teen!Gaz & teen!Farah: *start screaming*
teen!Ghost: Oh my god you're alive!
Nik: YOU LITTLE SNITCH-
teen!Ghost: ALLEGEDLY A SNITCH-
IS HE HANGING ON A ROPE STUCK ON AN AC130??????????????
the AC130 (I think? I'm not knowledgeable enough) has like a sort-of ram on the front and it like-- pulled the rope??
And Gaz, being the quick-thinker he is, realized this and thought that the injured comrade will be helpless on his own, SO HE HOOKED HIS OWN HARNESS TO THE INJURED DUDE SO HE COULD SOMEHOW SAVE HIM.
AND THE GUY LEGIT GOT YOINKED
Price was there to hod the riot shield against incoming fires. He probably expected Gaz to return to combat with him once Gaz secured the injured guy up to the airship, but the AC130 (?) pulled the both of them to the sky--

(Edit : Apparently, there's this fast-evac technique called Skyhook (thanks @efingart for the info). Here's an article about it and as far as we can see, apart from the explosion, it's going... according to the manual book... (supposedly)
It's hard to see, but Price actually got yoinked as well at the end together with Gaz and the injured guy, and so it's a reference to the Gulag mission in the OG!MW2! Woohoo!

Hi anon! I’m sorry I didn’t know if this meant showing them desiring that life w/ each other, or if you wanted to see them actually living it but! since it’s Hange’s birthday I went with the latter bc they deserve it and breakfast in bed is a far better present than the one Isayama gave to them :')
Barista Levi would look adorable in his apron, it would accentuate his tiny waist. His sleeves would always be rolled up, and he would be oblivious to the fact the muscles in his forearms were distracting.
His eyes would light up when you order his favourite tea, and he would shift with hidden joy when you reveal that you take it the same way he does.
He would slowly get more comfortable with you, the more you come to the shop. One day, he surprised you when he asked how your day was going, then gave you a tiny smile as you recounted the events of your day to him. He would listen patiently, secretly enjoying every detail.
After a few weeks, you would enter the shop, and your tea would be ready, waiting for you; Levi holding it with anticipation shining in his eyes. His eyes would light up each time you walk through the door.
Barista Hange would tease him knowingly, every time you came in. They were a God damn menace.
One day, Hange would scribble down Levi’s number on a napkin and hand it to you; Levi would be red faced and stuttering.
“I’m going to murder you,” he would mutter to Hange, scowling.
You’d giggle, and he would tilt his head towards the sound, his heart pounding. His breath caught in his throat when he spotted your smile, he watched you laugh in awe.
“Thanks!” You’d chime, clutching the napkin close. You were blushing too, smiling widely, “I’ll call you.”
Levi watched you with wide eyes, lips parted in surprise. Still bright red, the corners of his lips would twitch into a smile, his eyes flickering away, “y-yeah… okay.”
Hange would laugh maniacally; Levi would punch them in the arm as you walked away. But secretly, he was grateful.
