Chapter Nineteen - Why try to change me now

[Half of this chapter is CHEESY if you don't like it too bad]

I lay down close to him, panting, driving off from the feeling. And by the end, I feel a flush of emotions inside me. From everything I've felt today: my resentment for Eren, the way I thought Levi would break my heart. And then our love confessions. It's overwhelming.

I sit up, crying silently. Trying to hide my face with my hands.

"Y/N. Come here". I feel Levi's hand softly trying to pull me back to his chest.

As soon as he cuddles me again, I sob violently, letting all my emotions out.

"I'm so sorry, Levi. I don't even know why I'm crying- I don't think I'm supposed to cry after making love-"

"It's a common reaction, my love. It's okay, just hold me".

I hold him tight, letting my tears run down his naked chest. He kisses my forehead, letting his lips stay there. I feel his nose gently sniffing my hair. Some seconds after, the climax is gone and I feel going back to a rational state. I stop sobbing and just stay cuddled with Levi.

"Did I make you feel good?" He asks, in a whisper.

"Yes. Too good, actually".

I sit up, calmer, to wipe my tears from his torso with my hands: "I got you all wet".

"Don't worry about it, come back here".

I look in his eyes before laying down to kiss him, so he'll know I'm okay. As I lay in his arms, breathing calmly, he says softly in my ears:

"I'd like to talk to your parents tomorrow. Ask your hand in marriage, if it's okay with you".

I turn to face him: "Y-you want to marry me?" My eyes wide as I take in what he said. I sit up, shyly covering up my body with the sheets, turning my torso to face him.

His loving eyes stare at me, while he caresses my neck with one hand, brushing my hair behind my ear: "Would you like to?"

I see in his lips a hint of a smile, waiting for my answer to be positive. As if I'd ever say no to that.

"Yes! Of course I want to, Levi!"

He sits up to hold me, a satisfied smile on his face. I kiss him, embracing his neck, too happy to stop smiling and giggling. The air in the room is much different from before. All insecurity from both of us was gone and what was left was the scent of our bodies in the sheets.

I caress his hair gently, trying to keep him calm for what I want to know: "Levi, you can be honest with me. Are you proposing just because we've been intimate?"

He closes his eyes, too invested in having his hair played to: "No. I thought about marrying you since I saw you dancing with your friend that night".

My face heats with embarrassment: "Are you serious?"

"Yes, but I let that thought go for a while, because I don't have much faith in love. But then I thought about it again when you had me over your house for tea. And then again when we went to Sina. And I was sure about it when you kissed me".

I come closer to kiss his cheeks, feeling his soft skin on my lips. He's got the tiniest expression mark near his eyes and some skin spots over his pale cheeks from age. He looks so beautiful to me right now.

"I was really scared when I heard about that ex-boyfriend of yours. I thought I would lose you" He continues to say.

"You didn't lose me. And you won't. Levi, look at me" I hold his head in place, waiting for him to open his eyes. I come close enough to touch our noses: "I adore you. It's you and me now, as a pair. Don't forget about it, ok?"
