Stealing the Groom

Chapter 11

"Come on, Levi! You can do this!"

Armin perked up at the voice that came from Eren's house. He turned and lightly raised his knees to take a peek at the house.

They had passed the archway of Eren's farm and right there on the porch was someone Armin assumed to be his friend's wife.

Armin half expected to see Levi in a glamorous dress, a gown even, since that's the trend in the city. But what the blonde Omega saw as the cart moves closer to the house, was a small raven Omega. Instead of a dress or a gown, the raven was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. He was as small as Armin and shared the same struggle of moving larger furniture.

"Levi!" Eren called out as he flicked the reins. Once Rogue parked in front of the house, the Alpha reached for his crutch and limp towards the raven.

When Levi heard the call and noticed Eren's return, he immediately straightens and leans on the large wooden cabinet. And pretending that he wasn't struggling earlier. "Oh! Eren! Welcome back!"

"Levi," Eren noticed the bright interior as he stepped into the porch. "You started painting?"

"Oh, yeah." Levi pushed himself off the cabinet and faced his husband properly. "I took advantage of it while the furniture and other items were being delivered."

"Levi, I'm sorry. I could have helped you," Eren lowered his head. He noted the all the furniture except for the large wooden cabinet was already placed and arranged inside the house. It could only mean that his wife had moved all the heavy furniture and painted the interior of the house from top to bottom on his own.

"Pfft!" Levi chuckled. "You're such a sweet pie, you know?"

"But you did all the work and-"

"Eren," Levi interrupted with a smile. "It's okay."

"Thank you... for your hard work," Eren smiled back then he beamed when he remembered something. "Oh, wait."

"Hmmm?" Levi tilted his head in question. He watched Eren limp back on the cart and took the bundle of flowers that were placed on the coach. Levi's smile widens when Eren came back and presented the flowers to him.

"Umm... ahh... Here, f-for you," Eren offered the flowers bashfully.

"Thank you, dear," Levi took the flowers, the smile not leaving his lips as he took a swift of the fragrance. "Hmmm, smells like Jasmine. Like Jasmine tea." The raven sang in a daze.

Armin hopped off the cart and patted the dust on his brown pinafore. Eren completely forgot about him when the Alpha landed his eyes on Levi. It was obvious that Eren's in love, which also made Armin worried. He approached the house to let his presence known. "Hi!"

Eren jumped and Levi looked up at him. "Armin!" The brunette Alpha's face turned bright red.

"Is he your friend?" Levi asked as he eyed his husband with a warm smile. He like seeing Eren flustered. The Alpha was simply cute, Levi could eat him up.

"I figure he didn't talk about me," Armin sighed as he approached the married couple on the porch and faced the raven Omega. "My name is Armin Arlert. I'm one of Eren's childhood friends. I work at the flower shop where Eren got those flowers."

Armin offered his hand which Levi accepted and gave it a quick shake. The raven looked down at the bouquet in his hand. "They're very beautiful."

"Thank you, my grandfather and I took care of them in the greenhouse. Just at the back of the shop."

"Wow, I would like to visit your shop."
