Detective Levi x Reader - Vintage fic

Chapter Fourteen - Somethin' Stupid

[A lot is happening in one chapter]

Levi checks my dress quickly, making sure my skirt is not high on my tights. I help button his shirt up the way it was, not so helpful once he's still wet. He also carefully brushes my hair with his fingers and puts my hat on back. I think it's sweet how hard he tries to protect my honor.

We lean against the tree behind us, trying to spy on who is coming. I see a blonde figure in the distance.

"Levi, I think that's Annie" I whisper close to his ear. I feel him shiver next to me. His breathing is still fast. I smile, knowing he didn't recover from our make out.

"Who the hell is Annie".

"She works at the factory. Annie Leonhart".

"Tch. Let's just wait her go, then".

His hand reaches for mine, intertwining our fingers. I know he just wants to go back to where we left. But something feels weird. I sneak my head from behind the tree to see where Annie's going. And if she's meeting someone.

"Don't be so nosy" Levi says.

"I just think it's weird to see her around the woods".

"I don't care what she's doing. I just hate that she's interrupting my time with my girl".

I have the strongest butterflies hearing him call me that. I whisper in his ear again: "I'll be right back to kissing you, just wait a bit".

"Better be a promise" His hands grab my waist, his fingers pressing hard against my dress, with hunger. His serious eyes glow darker looking into mine. It's hard to concentrate when I see him wanting me so much. And his shirt is still marking his abs. I desperately want him too.

I close my eyes, listening to Annie's steps just a few miles away from us. She stops. And I hear a male voice talking to her.

"She's with a man".

"Good for her" Levi says, his lips coming closer to gently travel my neck.

"Levi, please-" I try to see who the man is, not even knowing why I'm taking this so seriously. "I don't think he's from Maria".

He sighs, irritated. I laugh at him, just to make him madder. Then pay close attention to Annie and the tall man. They don't look too intimate, keeping their distance while talking. I can only see the man's profile. But there's something about his hair and height...

I think he feels observed because he turns his head towards me. I get a glimpse on his face and hide back behind the tree, sinking my face in Levi's shoulder. That face...I know it.

"Levi, do you remember my drawing of Bertholdt?"

"Yes".

"Don't you think that looks like him?"

Needless to say, that information completely ruined our evening together. We waited until their conversation was over, not close enough to get any real information of what they were saying. When they dispersed, we grabbed our things and rushed to Mikasa's house, hoping she'd have finished Reiner and Bertholdt's realistic portraits.

Levi wore his suit back to prevent people from seeing his now see-through shirt, but the first thing Mikasa said was:

"Hi, Y/N. Levi. Why are you wet?"

"Not relevant".

I come forward: "Mikasa, we're sorry to barge in like that, but it's something serious".
