Broken Hearts, Severed Limbs (Levi x OC x Erwin)

|114| The Letter

Nathalie frowned as she stared at the cards in her hands. Nothing really matched. Ten damn cards and there was nothing close. There was no way she could make a triad. It had been three rounds, and everybody was beaten by Nicolo and Sasha in all three of them. Sasha let out another exclamation of excitement as she filled another triad and tossed the last card on the table and everybody groaned and tossed their own useless cards on the table only for Marlowe to gather them up and shuffle them for the next round.

“Not fair, Sasha!” Connie groaned.

“I’d be winning all the time if I had a card protégé boyfriend helping me,” Jean frowned.

“I didn’t help her at all this time,” Nicolo smirked. His arms tightened around Sasha’s waist and he settled her a little bit further on top of his lap so that she wouldn’t fall off. He pressed a gentle kiss on her cheek from behind and Sasha started giggling like an idiot. “My girl learns so fast!”

“Fast? Sasha’s the biggest idiot in the room,” Connie grinned.

“Nuh-uh! You’re the biggest idiot in the room,” Sasha pointed at him across the round table and he groaned slightly offended.

“Hey!”

“You both got the same amount of dumb,” Jean snickered.

“Jeanboy! Don’t call my children dumb!” Nathalie smacked his shoulder and she laughed at the look he shot her.

“I’M ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN TOO!” Jean cried out in utter jealousy.

“Aww, of course you are, darling,” Nathalie smiled at him and she cupped his face, and then messed his hair enough to make him groan in irritation again.

“Alright, next round, I’m gonna beat everybody’s ass in here!” Connie said determinedly.

“I’d like to see you try!” Sasha laughed as she passed an arm around her boyfriend’s shoulders and she settled on Nicolo’s lap with her feet hanging from one side. She cupped Nicolo’s face. “Right, potato boy?”

“Precisely, potato girl,” Nicolo’s lips were only a few inches away from her own. Sasha giggled before he kissed her.

Jean groaned in irritation and he tried his best to ignore the two. “Can we get to the next round, please-? MARLOWE! HITCH! YOU TWO NEED TO STOP MAKING OUT ON THE TABLE!” His attention fell at the two. Marlowe was lying on top of the table back-down with Hitch climbing on top of him and devouring his mouth.

Jean seemed way too irritated, and Connie was looking at the two couples as they made out with a mischievous smile on his face. Nathalie laughed happily. She was so glad to see them all being so happy.

“Let’s call this a break,” She suggested.

“Tsk,” It came from behind her, familiar and an unamused. A familiar hand found her shoulder from behind and Nathalie’s hand reached for her husband’s right away.

“The world’s literally on fire, and you guys are playing cards?!” Moblit’s voice as he followed behind Levi, entering the room.

“Heyyy! Vice-Captain Berner! Join us!” Hitch cried out as she pulled back from the kiss, leaving Marlowe with a dreamy look beneath her on the table. Nicolo and Sasha pulled from their kiss too, and they turned at the superiors that walked into the room.

Moblit only groaned and wiped his headache off his forehead, rubbing gently. “I’m sorry,” Nathalie looked apologetically up at her husband who was standing behind her chair. “I’m just spending some quality time with my kids,”

“It’s alright,” Levi’s hand pushed a strand of hair away from her face, and settled it behind her ear. He was the one who had insisted that she did that. Their brats were so chaotic no matter how much they had grown, and he was sure that they were more than capable of keeping her mind off the things that she didn’t want to think about.
