One-shots & Short Stories [Levi | Reader]

Levi x Reader ~ Earned It {Modern AU}

He'd met her at a banquet night for one of his company's projects and future sponsors, but he never expected things to go that well with her. 

From afar he could see she was beautiful and elegant as much as a woman at all could be. 

Her luxurious tresses fell over her shoulder elegantly and looked just as soft as silk, shining under the many lights in the crowded room. Her tight black dress fell down her curves nicely, sliding to the floor and letting one witness her leg with a nice long slit at the side. 

The dress revealed not even halfway of her cleavage, but that didn't mean in the least the woman wasn't appealing to the eye. With a nice amount of make-up on and a vibrant red color decorating her full lips, she talked lively and interacted with only a small group of the party.

He knew she would be something worth the trouble only from a mere glance in her direction. 

And in his currently newly divorced state, he thought he could try and charm the unfamiliar woman and in attempt to get her attention and a small portion of her character.

She was a whole new thing to him however.

When she saw him walking towards her, instead of giving him any kind of encouragement the woman only smiled shyly and turned back to her friend, not giving off any signs of anticipation for his arrival.

Despita that, he walked up to her and gently tapped her shoulder, making her turn around and look at him with those gorgeous (e/c) orbs she had, almost catching him in a daze as she spoke steadily, only a slight small bit of uncertainity in her voice.

He was polite for maybe what was a rare part of his life and even more gentle towards her seeing as she was probably a fragile creature that needn't say had to be treated with care and tenderness.

Turns out she was one unique individual indeed, but didn't really need that much of attention to her well being having it as she could just as well protect herself with her sharp tongue and moves. Indeed she was elegant, but just as dangerous in the same time.

Her sweet voice and alluring body made him want to spend even more of his time with her. 

See what was she really about. What did she like, dislike; how did she usually act and witness a glimpse of her true nature for she was truly intriguing for him.

And in the end he was more than awed by her personality.

Over a few glasses of champain and a talk on the balcony, beholding the beauty of the peaceful night sky, they both talked their hearts out to one another, getting to understand they were both just going through a big relationship and wanted to have a small talk with a nice company as to ease out the stress and tension that's been on their shoulders recently.

Staring deep into those mesmerizing orbs of hers, he lost all perception of the surroundings they had, the people around them or even the time. It was only her and him, going knee lenght in their personal problems and lives, making it seem to him like definite magic the way she managed to make him forget everything else aside of herself.

Helping each other out of that ever so stressfull stage wasn't a problem for neither, so they concluded they'd leave the banquet together and let things go with the flow.

Since then, he would behold the sight of her in his personal quarters more than he had hoped to and she got the care of her life, making them both overly satisfied with their relationship.

And now, lost deep in his own world of thoughts, as the buzzing soung of his ringtone broke the silence, he got the phone out of the pocket of his suit and pressed the green button with ease, getting the device to his ear, hearing her sweet voice flow through the speaker.

"How was your morning, hun?" She asked sweetly and he almost smiled out of happiness to hear her voice. 

He did every day anyway, but he specifically loved to have her calling him on the phone. Even more when she did it when he couldn't expect it coming.

"Boring routine as usual. Yours?"

"I'll tell you when we meet later. You haven't forgotten you have to pick me up for the date, have you?" She literally teased with that small tone of mischief and scolding in her voice, making his eyes narrow with content at her normal yet ever so unique attitute.

"Of course I haven't. I'll see you there. But don't be late again."

"It's modern to be slightly late these days, Levi. It's not like five minutes are a big deal." He knew she was both pouting and half smirking at that very moment her voice spoke.

"Well, don't follow those shitty trends then and come on time."

"Fine, for you I'll cope with not being modern." 

"I'll make sure to pay you off for that later on." He stated just as monotonously as usual, but he was sure she had caught up on the slight meaning behind those words. 

Pay off for him usually ment to buy women things, but she never ever wanted a thing out of his bank account as they exclude the villa they both bought themselves for their solitude nights together.

"Is that a busy night coming our way?" She asked slyly and he knew she had gotten the reference to his way to pay her off.

"Sure as hell it is." He almost smirked at her genuine laugh on the other side of the phone, when she quieted down and spoke again:

"Then I'll make sure to have some energy in store. I'll be going then. I'll hear from you later."

"Yeah." 

And with that their small conversation was over, leaving him to just stare blankly in a trance at the wall of his office until it became time for him to go up to his meeting. 

Special was what she was, because even with his former wife he'd never even once felt this special from her small, but genuine acts of showing love.

A call in the middle of a work day; a personally prepared lunch if he was lucky at least once a week; nice, hot baths for when he came back from work waiting for him patiently as she had already came back from her own work; secluded nights together just for talking, nothing else; no secrets she kept away from him and always shared no matter how stupid they were, with him was exactly the same. 

She was special in a way that couldn't be yet desribed only in words, something about her was making him more excited everytime they were to meet despite having seen her just this morning or the night before; his stomach took turns occassionally when she would smile brightly and his eyes could only see her when she would talk or do a motion - no, even when she didn't do anything specific - just drinking coffee or writing down a report of hers, he couldn't stop staring at her as if she was the only thing he was able to notice.

Her small quirks made her special, the smiles she flashed, the attitude she had, her patiance, her care, so many things in her made him love her just as much as he did.

And he liked to show care to her, kindness she hasn't gotten that often before just by proving her he could love her ever so much. 

Gentleness wasn't usually his thing, but for a woman like her, to keep her happy and beaming every single day, he could be gentle to the moon and back. All because she was truly perfect in his eyes, deserving every single touch from him because she was worth it all.

Small touches, caresses on her back, little kisses down her spine and her neck, slow kisses on her mouth, fingers gently tangling and brushing strands of her hair, pads of his fingers lingering just above her soft skin to let her feel his care, his warm embrace when the night was cold, the small things he would do and how he would do them, proved to her his love.

She however, was usually confused as to why was he ever so careful and kind to her and her body, seemingly she had no objections of him being normal or even rough as she hadn't ever requested such actions of him either.

He would always however, flash her a small smile and kiss her lips softly, looking deep into her eyes, satisfied with that ever so short and unexplicit answer leaving her in oblivion, while his lips bathed her body in kisses.

"... Because you earned it."
