Neko!Levi x Reader {AU}

~Finding Peace~

A/n:  I'm not gonna lie I'm running out of motivation for this story... I need to kinda start wrapping it up if I ever want to finish. (Wrote this whenever the heckie I last worked on it.)

I have the strong urge to rewrite this whole book, or at least edit it. I started writing this when I was quite a bit younger... *Internal screaming*

Levi Pov:

"Hanji! Who's this?!" Petra exclaimed with a soft look in her eyes and a sweetly innocent smile. 

"He's a good friend of mine... his name is Levi~" Hanji leaned over the table knocking over the small tower of napkins, which spilled to the floor with light sways, to reach her ear, "He's been having a rough time moving on, there's a little someone I know he likes but he just can't seem to get over the last girl. Would I be asking too much if I wanted you to give him some advice?"

Petra nodded understandingly and both girls winked at Oulo and I's confused stares. 

"Soooooooooooo!" Hanji began, "Let's introduce ourselves! Who's this stud you've brought along?" 

  Petra's face was a light hue of pink, "This is Oulo... We've been together for about three years now." 

Shocked, my eyes widened. "How did you guys meet?" I hesitantly asked. 

  As she released a sigh and a tap of her fingers I could tell she began reliving that moment. "I just got out of high school at the time and I met him during the first semester of college. He sat next to me in class, he wasn't the most outgoing fellow, but we gradually started talking more and more. We'd talk of the oddest things, and soon enough I found him opening up to me and myself falling head over heals for him. At the beginning of the second semester, he finally asked me out. I remember it like it was yesterday. It's funny how time flies..." 

...

I didn't say anything other than a hushed, "Congratulation, you two seem happy." Both Oulo and her nodded and I noticed that their hands, underneath the table, joined together.

Hanji turned to Petra and winked at her, when all four-eyes got was a puzzled look, she wiggled her earlobe, then dragged her finger down her nose rapidly, she finally cleared her throat. "The A.D.V.I.C.E.please." The ginger's eyes finally filled with recognition, "Oh yeah!"

 "Hanji filled me in on your situation. My advice for you is to find a way of achieving peace, you know, and whatever happened with your last relationship probably won't happen again so I'd go into this new relationship with an open mind." Her smile lit up the room and I felt my heart skip a beat. I missed her and I was never able to tell her that I cared for her. Facing her father after her... death... was without a doubt the hardest thing I ever had to do. 

  I felt myself begin to tear up, what a strange feeling this was. To hear and see Petra and even that annoying shit, Oulo, doing well filled one of the many holes in my soul. Thank you Hanji, I... needed this.

  For the rest of our time there, we sat and chit-chatted, something I didn't so often. The waiter arrived at our table and asked us what we would like to drink. It wasn't my tea, I would've preferred it so, but coffee would do.

R/n pov:

  Armin's hand intertwined with mine in an attempt to comfort me. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink as he avoided my eye contact, "I know you're worried about him (R/n)." He said lightly, "Again, I... I think he'll be fine. Hanji didn't seem too bad."

 I nodded and squeezed gently. "Thank you. I couldn't ask for a better and more caring friend." His sheepish smile disappeared, "Yeah... friend."

Time went soaring by and before I knew it, the front door creaked open with my short little runt poking his head in. He seemed more relaxed, it was like he finally had some weight lifted off of his shoulders. "How was the coffee?" I asked with a smirk. Levi rolled his eyes and flicked my forehead, "Brat. It was... pretty good."

  Armin quickly released my hand and returned it to his lap, hoping that Levi didn't notice his flush and uneasiness. Hanji burst through the door with, as usual, a giant smile, "Ready to get to work, nerd?!" I could feel the blonde flinch, but he nodded and replied, "Yes ma'am."

  Hanji grabbed the poor boy's hand and ran off with him, heading for her room. I shook my head, "Poor Armin..."

(R/n), I've decided." Levi stated with a cold unemotional voice. "Oh!" I was taken aback and I felt myself grow anxious. I couldn't meet his beautiful steel blue eyes, "What... What have you come to?" 

He took a deep breath and fiddled with his hands, "I think I'm finally ready. I want to be with you." 

My heart felt like it would burst. "Really?!" I couldn't help myself, I jumped out of my seat and latched onto him, my little shorty: mine. His head rested on my shoulder and I could feel his lips curl into a smile, "Yes, really."
