Drunken Farewell

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

As I walked back into the reception hall with my mother, she began looking for my father, as I scanned the room. I saw Commander Erwin, sipping a glass of wine, standing by himself.

I guess I should go say hello...

I walked up to him, and instantly saluted him. It felt weird doing it in a dress, but I still felt it necessary to respect him.

"Ms. (l/n- or should I say Mrs. Ackerman?" He said, correcting himself. That was definitely something I would need to get used to.

"Thank you for attending, Commander. I know you're busy."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Erwin said. I smiled, trying to figure out what I wanted to ask him, but he began speaking again, before I could say anything.

"Thank you for going through with this. I know it was unforeseen, but I believe this will make Levi even stronger. He may never admit it, but he does better with support."

"I trust in your judgement, Commander." I said.

"I will let you get back to your new husband." Erwin said, not letting me ask him any questions. I was kind of bummed out, but eventually, I'd get a chance to ask him why he picked me.

I walked back over to the table Levi and I were seated at, and saw Captain Hange speaking to Levi.

"Congratulations!" Hange expressed when I came into their line of view, their cheeks rosy from inebriation.

I smiled, but I was starting to get overwhelmed. I knew that once we left, Levi and I would go stay in our house, for the first time ever. Even though that worried me too, I craved the quietness that I knew we'd have.

I sat back down next to my new husband and continued to drink some wine so that my nerves would calm.

Levi and Hange kept speaking for a time, but I couldn't hear much, the wine had finally hit me, and all I could hear was subtle ring. I had officially checked out. I was a soldier, not a princess, so my social battery had officially run out. I wasn't upset at the over stimulation, but my brain was else where.

The man sitting next to me, was the only thing I had on my mind. I didn't know how to feel, confusion was my only sensation. But my mind followed a path I dared not to cross before. I remember what his subtle touch did to me, how his warm hands on my face made me feel at peace.

I wanted him to hold me, kiss me again, whisper sweet words into my ear, but I couldn't see that happening. I didn't know what it was that was doing this to me, but it was probably the wine, so I figured before I got too frisky, that I should stop drinking.

But the one thing I couldn't wipe from my brain, was his kiss. If he felt nothing for me, why did it feel so real. Maybe it was just my imagination, and maybe he's just a good actor.

"(Y/n)? Are you okay?" Levi asked. I looked at him, my lids half open from exhaustion and intoxication.

"I'm ready to go home." I told him, my words just slipping out. What even was home?

"I thought you'd never ask..." Levi said as he got up. He took his suit jacket off, and set it on my shoulders, his scent from the fabric filling my nose and instantly relaxing me. He smelled so clean, but in a masculine way.

Maybe I was over thinking his roughness. Maybe he wouldn't be so hard to crack after all.

Hange and I made eye contact after he stepped away, and instantly my cheeks went hot.

"You like him, don't you!" They whispered, as they sat in Levi's seat next to me.

"I don't know what your talking about..." I said, trying to act hard. I couldn't believe I was so easy to read.

"All that complaining and yelling you did two weeks ago was pointless, wasn't it?" Hange prodded.

They were right. I did make it a bigger deal then necessary, but I didn't expect to melt between his fingertips like I already was so quickly.

"There's just... something about him..." I confessed to Hange, their cheeks swelling up into a smile.

That's when Levi came back, "We can go now." He said.

I stood up and waved goodbye to Hange as the crowd began to clap, sending us off.

Levi put his arm around me, probably so that I wouldn't wobble too much. He then helped me into the carriage that would take us to our new house.

We sat in the exact same seats as the last time we were in the carriage together, once again, not uttering a word, until our eyes met briefly.

"Happy wedding day. I guess that wasn't half bad." Levi spoke.

I smiled at him. I figured that was his way of telling me he actually had fun.

When the carriage stopped, I could feel the wine wearing off, which I was thankful for.

I had already moved most of my stuff into the house, which surprised Levi when we walked in.

"I need to take a bath, I'm already sweating out the wine..." I said, my head still dizzy.

Once again, Levi ran his hand over the top of the furnace, like a total sociopath, and to his surprise, it was no longer dusty.

"Up to your standards, captain?" I joked, somewhat trying to be sexy. I knew I'd regret that later, but the wine hadn't worn off completely just yet.

"When did you do this?" He asked.

"I came by to show my parents yesterday. Hange gave me a spare key she got for me from Erwin. I figured I'd clean it up for you."

"Hm." He muttered.

Damn. Maybe I just turned him on... I joked to myself. I even giggled out loud, cause I knew the thought of sex probably wouldn't be spoken about for a long time.

I went into the bathroom, leaving Levi in the den by himself. I shut the door, and let the water fill the tub. I took my dress off carefully, and tied my hair up. Eventually, I stepped into the bathtub, the heat of the water suppressing me instantly.

I leaned back and rested my head on the edge, closing my eyes and finally getting to relax. As my head cleared from all my anxious and nervous thoughts, I basked in the silence that I craved so much.

All I heard every once in a while, were soft footsteps, that could be no one else's but Levi's.

Finally I was at peace, and without realizing I drifted off into a light sleep...
