( time: 4:32 PM )
"heeeeey you."
levi ackerman
"that's all you have to say?"
he furrowed his brows, which
resulted to you laughing.
"i dunno...it's been what, two,
three days? i don't really know
what to say to you."
levi ackerman
"hi, hello, how are you,
maybe."
"don't be salty."
he shrugged it off, but it
didn't hurt to actually say
so.
"but if you wish....hi, hello,
how are you?"
levi ackerman
"hello, i'm fine. and you?"
"you're weird."
levi ackerman
"you're weirder."
you noticed the side of his lip
curve up-one amongst the very
rare ones he'd give.
it was funny to know that
he has to hold back his smiles
to try and make you think
he isn't interested. levi out of
all people should have known
otherwise.
"to answer your question,
i'm fine."
levi ackerman
"alright."
"can i come in?"
you chuckle, before opening
the door.
"do you want me to leave
you out here? is that even
a question?"
levi ackerman
"it's not bad to be polite once
in a while."
"you should try it for yourself."
you scoff, pushing levi inside
the house out of annoyance
which only makes him laugh
dryly.
"you aren't the person to be
telling me that!"
levi ackerman
"i have every right to be
telling you that."
"you know what? forget your
tea, get out of the house-"
but as you were sulking, you
weren't able to notice that levi
had beat you to where you placed
your tea-the bags already in
his hand.
"now how did you even..?"
levi ackerman
"i make good use of the time
i'm given, plus, the tea bags
were placed right here."
"don't act surprised."
you stared at him as he scanned
the tea, noticing a small glint in
the corner of his eyes.
you don't think anyone else
has this much passion for tea.
levi ackerman
"isn't this brand a bit expensive?"
"i guess. my mom bought them,
so i don't know how much."
levi ackerman
"she has good taste."
"she does."
"are you planning to make
something out of your
obsession?"
levi immediately looked to you,
and it seemed by the way he
glanced over, you already got
your answer.
levi ackerman
"does that matter? i don't
know if it'll even happen."
"it's best not to expect."
you walk over to him, slapping
his arm lightly.
levi ackerman
"what the hell are you on?"
"don't you go all sappy on
me, now!"
"are you an idiot? as long as
you work for it, there's more
chance that it'll happen than
not, no?"
levi ackerman
"you seem more passionate
about it than i am."
"i doubt it. i mean, i don't
plan to make a business
that includes tea."
"you, however."
the man rolls his eyes, placing
the tea back on the counter.
levi ackerman
"i was kidding. that was
sarcasm."
"oh."
"wait, it was?"
he was a bit offended that you
couldn't tell.
you knew that as well, but that
thought only made you laugh-
probably because everything
levi does happens to be
unintentionally funny.
"oh, sorry!! it's just-
your tone-"
levi ackerman
"huh? what about it?"
for such an arrogant guy...
he's really clueless.
"you always sound serious, i
just can't tell when you
aren't."
levi ackerman
"tsk. stay there, i'll make
the tea."
"you're so..."
levi ackerman
"so what? finish your sentence."
"surprising. you're so surprising."
he starts boiling the water,
then looks back at you, genuinely
confused yet interested.
levi ackerman
"...why?"
"you're a dumbass, a gentleman,
and an asshole all at once, and i
mean that in the nicest way
possible."
"only you could manage that.
it must be hard."
levi ackerman
"fuck you."
"and i thought you were
going to be serious."
"but i'm being serious! you're
more of a menace than i am!"
levi ackerman
"word it differently, at
least?"
ur uglie ::::|||||
"huh..."
"okay. you're...uh, vulgar,
but you can be nice at times,
like when you make me tea."
he looks to you, and then to
the boiling water, realizing
what you mean.
levi ackerman
"oh."
"you're a dumbass."
he turns around and faces
the water in an attempt to
hide a laugh.
"i can see you laughing!"
levi ackerman
"your eyes are deceiving you."
"i know what i'm seeing :))))"
levi ackerman
"i'll spill this tea all over
you."
he gets the tea ready, and then
walks to you to hand you yours.
"that's pretty romantic. are
you trying to woo me, levi?"
levi ackerman
"depends on your definition
of woo-ing."
"it's you spilling tea all over
me!! might as well just kiss
me, y'know?"
while you were just spouting
out nonsense, or at least that's
what levi likes to think, his face
heated up which immensely
annoyed him.
that's not how this was supposed
to go, was it?
levi ackerman
"whatever...just finish the tea
and we'll get to cleaning."
you cock your head to the
side, watching levi walk away
from you and to the storage room
in your house for the cleaning
supplies, because apparently
he knew where it was.
wrong. it was an excuse to try
and hide his nervousness
for the time being.
"what a guy..."
you continue to sip your tea,
waiting for the hopeless
ravenette to come back.
