"Don't look so grim," Levi frowned over at me as the two of us walked along a winding road, the town growing closer and closer.

WELL-

"I'm just practicing my impression of you," I shrugged, "so, what's our cover story?"

"What?"

"Like- when we talk to people- what's our relationship?" I paused, "we kind of stand out, but aren't we supposed to pretend to be the children of a wealthy merchant rather than- I don't know the heirs to two noble houses?"

levi is a little recognizable-

"I don't know whether to be relieved that you're back to normal or disappointed," he sighed loudly, "didn't you want to blend in with the locals?"

of course

"Well yeah but," I gestured to our outfits, "you're wearing a dress embroidered with gold thread, I don't think you're passing for a local."

i'm just wearing a random suit but it isn't exactly lowkey either-

"So?"

"I feel like we've swapped places and it's a little unsettling," I stared blankly at him, "hold on, what about your face? Won't people recognize you as the 'young lord?'"

that actually feels like waaay more of an issue

"If that was the case I wouldn't be able to sneak out," Levi replied, unbothered. "There's a small shed just outside of town that has some cloaks in it-"

"A DISGUISE?"

"Why are you so fucking loud? Yes, a disguise."

LEVI I LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE FUN

"I'm obsessed with you."

"That's not a good thing."

"My body is going to look so cute undercover," I beamed, "we still need a backstory- what if someone asks?"

"People will mind their own fucking business- there's no need."

BORING

"What a cute couple, where are you two from?" Not two seconds after stepping into town was Levi proven wrong.

I TOLD YOU SO

"Oh we aren't-" Levi rushed to explain, scowling over at me.

"We're from the L/N marquisate," I cut him off, pulling his hand into mine, "thank you ma'am, my wife and I appreciate it."

"Certainly," the old woman who had stopped us smiled warmly.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU LEVI ???

"Take care," I beamed at her, dragging an indignant Levi away from the scene.

we can all agree that he totally deserved that right?

"Don't say it," Levi stared at me, a pained expression painting his features.

"I fucking told you so."

"You're horrible."

"You should be thanking me, I have our entire backstory thought up-" I paused. "Our names are Lev and (SHORTENED VERSION OF YOUR NAME), we dated for four years before getting married, we're traveling across the country for our honeymoon before settling down and having two kids."

"Make it stop."

"Listen Levi- we need to be prepared for everyone, just be thankful that you're with someone as quick thinking and generous as I," I rested my hand on his shoulder, internally giving myself the biggest pat on the back.
