A Life looking Forward to

The Springs and the peeping tom's

Chapter 7

monday came along and you had called everyone at work and invited them, plus furlan and isabel. You packed your bags full of clothes. you held onto your key. You took a shower and you put on makeup you put on some fairly hipster clothes and you fed Akiro, you already asked the landlady Mrs.Masuyo-san to take care of him while you were gone. Mrs.Masuyo was a sweet black haired woman with her own kid her husband died two years ago.
You walked over to levi's apartment ready to go at 5 and knocked on the door. "Levi?" the door opened to the raven haired male fallowed by a beautiful ginger.
"Levi!" she whined. "why didn't you tell me you were leaving for the week"
"because I knew you would complain Petra!" he grumbled and saw you.
"Ah. Your ready. Good. Lets go." he ushered you to the stares.
"Who's she?"
"tch guess there's no stopping her..." he groaned under his breath. "This it [y/n] my new neighbor. [y/n] this is Petra Ral."
"Ah! [l/n]-san! Sorry but he missed something and he can't go with you this week."
"don't make my dissensions for me! I can go where I please when I pl-"
"Ral-san?" you dipped your head politely interrupting levi. "i'm sorry I dont know what he missed but he is right. You can't make him stay if he doesn't want to. Not to mention this trip is for work. Now if you don't mind please let him come its a very important trip for his career. i'm simply his escort please understand." you bowed your head deeper.
"ah- w-work? oh. I'm sorry then. Please levi good luck. I didn't realize this was a trip for work..."
"I- its.." he was starring at you. You winked. "Yeah its for work. With a couple of friends we are doing it for research on this resort. Making sure its safe... and stuff."
"O-oh.. well good luck." petra bowed. "Sorry for delaying you."
you bowed back "Thank you for understanding miss." you lightly tugged on levi's sleeve. "we have to go Sir. If we are going to meet up with the others before the plane leaves."
he nodded and you both walked down the stares and once you were outside and around the corner levi asked. "What was that? How did you do that?"
"I lied. That's how I did that." You grinned you soon realized you lied just to get levi to come with you. "oh hell.... that was selfish." you mumbled
"No. thank you. I would have been spending a week of her nagging me."
you looked at him. "Who was she anyway?"
"An old nuance she thinks I need a fucking caretaker."
you chuckled. "She seems to like you."
he groaned. "That makes it worse."
you smiled

when you got on the train you began speaking again.
"We are meeting the people you invited at the air port right?"
"Yup." you looked at your watch. "We'll be there in 30 minutes and the plane leaves in an hour"
a child started crying and a man holding the child asked you something seeing your violin case.
"Do you play?" a male with dark brown hair asked.
"Oh? Yes I do." you responded as people began to look at you.
"Would you mind playing for my child. He loves music and he would calm down if you did."
your eyes widened and you looked at levi who shrugged.
You looked at the other passengers. "Is that alright with everyone here?" some people nodded and some said yes obviously the violin would be better than the child's caterwauling.
"A-alright.." you opened your case and pulled out your violin placing it on your shoulder.
"Any requests?"
"something slow to calm him?" the man asked.
"Of course" you nodded and thought of a song
"Ah.. that song will do.." you smiled at the child and started pulling the strings.
And then played the sound of an angel.
( )
the child began to quiet and everyone on the train turned to you or took their earbuds out to listen you got nervous so you closed your eyes. By the time the song was done the child was staring at you as if he had actually heard the sound of an angel. He then laughed and giggled which made you smile.
You put your violin away and placed it where your suitcase was.
"May I hold him?" you asked the man who nodded and handed the child over "whats his name?"
you asked rocking the child and smiling down at him.
"Isamu, his name is Isamu." the man replied.
"Isamu.. meaning courage.. well I hope he lives well is given lots of courage." you handed the child back.
"Thank you." the man sat back with his wife.
you had not realized levi staring at you in the oddest way. for him at least. it was a curious gaze. as if you had been shrouded in mystery.
