SORRY IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE

"Really?" He set down his paper, an amused smile stretching over his features. "I could've sworn that you said something abou-"

"IF I SAID IT I WAS CLEARLY DELUSIONAL," I put a hand over his mouth cutting him off.

YOU'RE ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO MAKE ME BLUSH

LET ME BE FRUSTRATED FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES

PLEASE

Levi stared back at me, eyebrow raised with a mischievous look in his eyes.

is mischievous really the right word ?

more like evil

hot evil vampire core

y/n if you're going to be mad at him you need to commit

you're right im sorry <33

"Behave," I sighed, pulling away to let him speak.

"Do you want a husband or a dog?"

"Is that really a question you want answered?"

i mean i can-

"Alright Y/N what's wrong with you?"

bold of you to assume that something is wrong i personally feel great-

"Wrong?"

"You're acting weird," he frowned, reaching up to feel my forehead. "It would be bad timing if you caught a cold right before we got to the capital."

i don't think im sick?

"I don't think I'm ill?" I frowned, reaching for his forehead. "Are you?"

did we bring anything with us to deal with that?

"Your temperature is normal," he let out a small sigh of relief. "So? Is there something on your mind?"

other than my intense boredom?

"I'm just bored Levi."

and im making it your problem because i love you <3

"Really? Don't lie to me-"

honestly-

"You're the one we should be worried about," I chuckled slightly, taking the paper he had been reading out of his lap. "I'm fine, you're the one who's been freaking out all morning."

sure im a little bit nervous but it's nothing compared to you

hanji said it was normal

and other people aren't acting alarmed but i think i've been around you enough to know when something is wrong

"I haven't been fre-"

"Don't lie to me," I mimicked him, poking his shoulder lightly. "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it but-"

well i always vent to you about these things

but you never-

i mean i didn't even know about your parents until kuchel told me

"-I'd like to be someone you can open up to," I frowned slightly.

if it's something stupid i promise i won't laugh

"You are," Levi murmured, his gaze falling to his lap. "You are."

so?

"Don't force yourself," I laced my fingers through his, caressing his hand with my thumb. "Don't lie about it either."

i mean it

i love you

i want to know everything about you

but i don't want to hurt you in the process

so take your time and stop pretending

"I'm worried that- shit-" his grip on my hand tightened.

"And if you're constipated we can get something to deal with that-" I attempted to lighten the mood, earning an eye roll.

good to know he's still a brat

"We don't know what either of them are planning, I'm worried that they're growing confident enough to do something drastic."

if this doesn't work out?

"Like?"

"What if they kill you?"

kill me?

"Levi," I brought my arms up around his neck. "If they kill me you'd better give them hell."

"Don't speak like that."

"I mean it," I paused, pressing my forehead against his. "We don't know what they're going to do. But if they do decide to do something like that, you'd better return the favor."

or i'll haunt you for the rest of your life

"You're acting way too calm."

im worried too

i don't know what they're going to do

but in this situation, at least one of us needs to hold it together

"You like that about me."

"I do," his lips found mine in a soft kiss.
