A Way to Belong (An Obey Me! Fanfic)

Butterflies and Jitters

Once everyone arrived home, Levi wasted no time heading right to his room to avoid saying something  embarrassing to any of his brothers. Even the thought that Lucifer let him live after what he said pervaded his mind and made him retreat to his room.

Levi wanted nothing more than to relax with a long gaming session. He went to change his clothes, but there was a knock at his door. He tensed up and hit his bookshelf, making a loud thud.

"Oooow, that hurt!"

"Levi? Are you okay?"

Unexpectedly, he heard Cassie's voice muffled on the other side. The pain that shot through him mellowed out at the sound of her voice. He was able to get up and went to open the door.

There, he saw Cassie staring up at him; but seconds later, her eyes slowly went down. She then looked off bringing her hand to her mouth to hide a half smile from Levi.

"Um, sorry..." She muttered.

"What are you-"

Cassie pulled at the collar of her shirt making Levi look down at his own clothes and see that all the buttons of his uniform top were open. He screamed and slammed the door shut. Levi curled up in a ball and covered himself.

"You shouldn't have seen that!"

"It's okay, Levi, I really didn't see much anyways."

"Yeah right, that's what they say in anime to make the character calm down about being seen at their most vulnerable!"

"Well, you're right about that one. Still, it's just like... if we went to the beach." She paused. "Ugh, actually that sounds horrible."

"Exactly..." He paused. "Wait, you don't like the beach either?"

"Just outside. There's almost nothing for me to do and half the time we go to places I don't find interesting. Maybe that or I'm just boring as hell."

Levi grunted. "No, it's true. All those places they wanna go are for normies. They all have way too much energy all the time."

"Tell me about it. All I wanna do sometimes is stay in my room and recharge, but they always tell me I need to get out more."

"They're only saying that because they don't know how amazing the Otaku life is!"

Cassie giggled on the other side. Levi was able to calm down at their casual conversation. He took a small breath and quickly changed out of his uniform before opening the door and taking another look at Cassie. He'd seen it before, but she was holding her Switch, a Pro Controller, and her phone.

"What are you... doing here though?"

"There's just nothing for me to do. Quana, Jess, and Keris are here but I can't really be alone with them without you. I can't play games on the TV because everyone else is in the common room, and I really don't know anywhere else to go in this place."

"Oh... well, I was just going to play something."

"Then mind if I just chill in here?"

Levi thought back to the night before. The only reason him and her were in this mess was because he wanted to have enough courage to ask her to hang out with him. Now, it was right in front of him on a silver platter and he still couldn't even tell her he actually wanted to hang out.

Though it did make him wonder about something...

Levi stepped out of the way. Cassie, seeing into his room, let out a soft sound of amazement.

"Woah, your room is so... pretty." She walked straight over to the fish tank and peered inside like a child at an aquarium. "I'm shocked this is even in here. It's really cool though."
