Little Man [Chibi!Levi x Reader]

F o u r t e e n

        It seems as if the world has stopped. It feels like it's only me and him in this world. My heart beat sounds loudly in my ears and I can feel my breath quicken. I shakily stand up and he stares at me with a soft gaze. The same soft gaze he gave me before we departed, almost a year ago. "What're you---" I begin to question, but then Mamoru clears his throat. I keep my eyes on Levi, but he looks away.

"[Name], do you know him?" Mamoru inquires, and I can feel him stare at me. Levi looks to the side and I can tell that he doesn't want them to know that we know each other. Why not, Levi? I decide to play along anyways, so I can question him even more later.

"He just looks like someone I know," I quietly say, sitting back down, and look at my empty plate.

"Hey, why don't you sit with us?" Mamoru suggests and Riko nods enthusiastically.

"Sure! I don't mind! Levi, do you mind?" Riko questions him, rubbing his arm. I bite my bottom lip. Oh, crap, I'm not prepared for this. I really want to tackle Levi and give him kisses, but he seems really distant for some reason.

". . .No."

"Alright! I'll be right back and talk to the waiter!" The blonde haired woman leaves and I look at Levi, who looks around.

"So, how'd you and Riko meet? Was it love at first sight?" Mamoru questions and I can clearly hear my heart breaking right now. I really want to know and I don't at the same time. Levi looks at Mamoru, not even sparing me a glance.

"No."

"Oh okay, so arrangement?"

"No."

"Um, okay," Mamoru awkwardly says and the conversation dies very quickly. Levi sits down across from me, while Mamoru moves to sit diagonal from me. Our table was squared, so our seating was a bit weird. I steal a few glances at him and he sits still, his legs crossed. Why won't he talk to me? I can feel frustration building up inside of me. Is he literally going to ignore me? "So, where you from?" Mamoru speaks up again.

"Sina," Levi replies curtly.

"Ouh, that's nice. Sina is pretty far, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Um, Riko is taking pretty long, isn't she?" Mamoru questions awkwardly, pulling at his collar. I sigh and stretch out my legs, only to accidentally brush my foot against Levi's foot. I impulsively look up and he's looking at me with narrowed eyes.

"Sorry," I mutter and he snorts. A small smile makes its way to my lips when I realize that I kind of made him laugh. I glance at Mamoru, only to see him staring at me intensely and I blink at him. "Yea?"

"I'll talk to you later."

"Alright! I'm back!" Riko excitedly says and sits on the empty chair, her navy blue dress fluttering behind her. Her blonde hair is curled and her bangs are clipped back. Her brown eyes shine brightly when she looks at us and her lips a color pink. "Sorry for taking awhile. I saw a person I knew and we started to catch up for a little." Ugh, she's so nice. She looks at Levi and puts a hand over his. "I hope you enjoy today."

I slightly glare at Riko and cross my arms. I'm so damn jealous right now. Who the heck does this woman think she is? Touching my man. I advert my eyes and huff. "Something wrong?" Mamoru questions, gazing at me with concerned orbs. I jump a little when he questions me and slowly shake my head.
