Lady execution Levi Ackerman x OC (ENG) 18+

Chapter VIII.

"Happy birthday Erwin!" Everybody shouted together, clapping enthusiastically. Theia approached him with a sweet smile and handed him a bottle firstly.

"Dad, happy birthday. This is from Pixis and this..." she handed him a small package. "...it's from me," He took the package in his hands in surprise. He carefully unwrapped it where he found the book. "Memento" he looked at the smiling daughter in surprise. "I found it in the archives in the capital. Those ignorant won't miss it, but I think you will appreciate it," He caressed the cover of an old book, full of hidden or erased mysteries of human history.

"Thank you," he smiled fondly and continued receiving gifts from his colleagues. Theia moved a little to the side. She let her father enjoy the attention and carefully steamed out. She hasn't seen him anywhere yet. But she had a feeling that she knew where to look for him.

"Don't you want to move your bedroom here?" He sat there again, watching the sunset. He turned around in surprise and couldn't hide his disappointment. He almost didn't recognize her when she wasn't wearing her uniform.

"So, you came to Erwin's party?" He asked monotonously. She smiled, sat down next to him and almost immediately inspected his hands with her eyes. No wounds. She smiled even sweeter. Together they watched the last golden rays disappear over the horizon.

"You're not going there?" She broke the silence.

"No," he answered simply. She sighed.

"You should start acting a little more friendly," he frowned.

"Why?" she laughed.

"Because you live here and you can't keep frowning at everyone!" She added cheerfully.

"I can," she noticed he was probably not in the mood for conversation. She grabbed his hand and pulled.

"Move," she urged him, but she didn't even move him. She pulled him again, harder this time. "Come on!" she pulled as hard as she could, but she didn't have the slightest success.

"What are you trying to do?" He looked at her bored. She sighed and let go of his hand.

"I want you to go to the party," he raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have a chance," he looked ahead again. "I don't even have a present," he added, and Theia smiled in surprise.

"It doesn't matter. It's about having fun, getting your thoughts out, getting to know other people..."

"I don't care about any of that," he stooped her. "Go have fun and don't waste your time with me," Theia resignedly sat down next to him and stared ahead. "I told you to go," he added in case she didn't hear him.

"I'm not going anywhere without you," Levi's eyes widened.

"Are you a silly?" He asked her a little angrily, but she didn't answer. After a few minutes, he realized that she must be serious and sighed in irritation. He stood up from the ledge of the balcony and started to leave. "What are you sitting there for?" She suddenly turned around and noticed Levi who was standing by the entrance. She excitedly ran to him and stood next to him. They really were the same height. She smiled. "What is it?" He asked her.

"You're cute," He frowned.

"Don't ever say that again," he warned her, walking out into the hallway. "Where the hell is the party?"

"In the dining room," she answered simply.

"I'm warning you that I'll just show up, wish to Erwin, and leave." Theia immediately nodded and together they walked down the corridor leading to the dining room where singing was already coming out. Levi turned but Theia quickly turned him back. She looked at him and indicated with her head that he should walk forward. They entered the dining room, where no one noticed their arrival. They went to the tables where there was alcohol and she poured them both a wine. She handed one glass to Levi, who took it with reluctance.
