Levys pov

It's very boring in the hideout when no one else is here. I have had nothing to do over the past 3 days and they were still going to take about 2 more days. Lubba didn't let me go to a mission everyone was on since my back injury reopened. I've been doing a lot of thinking you know since I'm alone and all. I feel bad about even thinking lubba was cheating on me. He's a good man and he deserves every bit of trust from everyone , but just seeing that girl kissing him, even if it was only on the cheek, made me jealous and mad specially since there was technically no reason for me to be mad since he's not my boyfriend yet so I couldn't even do anything about it. I guess that's what made me feel worse so I guess I'm going to have to fix that problem when he comes back.
   I hadn't eaten that day so I decided that I would go to the market to buy something. Although I felt a little unsure of going by myself because of what had happened before but I am capable of defend myself so I'll just take my imperial arms and be more careful. When I got there I went to go look for fruit first and then I checked out some meat. I could buy some and prepare the team a meal when they arrive because they would probably be hungry and tired. I bought the meat and started to head home but then a little boy caught my attention. He was sitting on the floor next to a barrel and he was making a peanut butter sandwich for an older man that seemed to be homeless. I felt bad for them so I headed towards them and offered them mangoes. The little boy gladly took them and said thank you. I was about to leave when I heard him say bye to the older man and he jogged past me. I turned around to see the old man and I noticed that the little boy had left both mangoes and the peanut butter and some bread with the man and when he ran past me I didn't see him holding anything. He had given the man all the food. Soon I found myself chasing the little boy. I wanted to see if he would be ok and maybe offer him some more food. After running a while I found him and he was just sitting on the floor in another alley petting a cat. He probably got startled from seeing me cause he jumped a little but then he relaxed a little when he saw it was me. I sat on the floor next to him and petted the cat. "So do you live here?" I asked and the boy nodded in response. Seeing the little boy living here reminded me a lot of myself before meeting lubba and joining night raid. After sitting with him for a few minutes in silence he pulled a small wooden box from behind the barrel and he handed it to me. "Open it" he said. I pulled the top lid up and in the box was a nice, fancy-looking cooking spoon. I looked at him curiously and I guess he realized I didn't understand why he showed me this. "My father gave it to me before he died. I used to live with my mom and dad running a restaurant until my dad died of a heart attack. After that , my mom sold everything , including the restaurant, and sent me away. She sold all of my stuff and the only thing I have left is that spoon" the little boy explained. "I'm sorry about your father" I said as I patted his shoulder. He just nodded and stared at the spoon sadly. Hearing his story of a restaurant and carrying the meat in a bag made me think of something that I hoped he would agree to. "Would you like to help me cook some meat for some friends?" I asked looking at him hopefully. He looked at me oddly at first but then he smiled and nodded. I helped him up and started walking towards the headquarters. Then I remembered that the team was arriving until Friday and it was barely Wednesday. I told him the news but I told him that he could still come with me and help cook a meal for him and myself.
   After a few minutes of walking we arrived. I let him in and he seemed so amazed of how cool it looked inside. He ran towards a sword on a stand. I had to admit, it was a damn nice sword. The blade was black and so was the handle but it had really pretty decorations on it that were red. Then he started looking at some other pictures of two people dueling.
"How about we start cooking?" I asked after he had admired the pictures for a while. He nodded and we headed for the kitchen. He said that we could make a fruit salad and milk shakes with the stuff I had bought. We had a lot of fun in the process of making the fruit salad and the shakes in addition  to a ham sandwich. And I got to say, it was the best food I had ever eaten. It got pretty late so he said that he should head out but I honestly didn't want him to go back to the alley in the cold and to be all alone so I offered to let him stay here for the night . "I don't want to be a bother to you and your boss... And I think I should get back to my cat , he's probably lonely" he tried to argue but I think he wanted to stay too. "You won't be a bother to anyone and I'm sure your cat will be fine without you for one night. I won't tell my boss you stayed here if you don't either" I smiled and tried to assure him that everything would be fine. He finally agreed and I took him to an empty room there was. I told him he could take a shower to refresh himself and I gave him some of the smallest clothes lubba had that were probably from him being a kid, I'm sure he wouldn't mind lending it to Lucas, he had said that was his name while we were walking here. Once he was out of the shower I settled him in the room but as I turned off the light and headed for the door he shouted timidly " wait, levy please don't go!" I turned on the light again and walked to him. "What's wrong Lucas?" He stayed quiet for a while but then he finally spoke "I'm kind of... Afraid of the dark.... and I was hoping you'd stay" he said quietly and I giggled. "It's not funny!"he pouted and then hid under his blanket. "I'm sorry, it's not it's just that you remind me of myself from when I was a child, I couldn't go to sleep unless the lights were on." He came out again and smiled and said "will you stay with me , at least until I fall asleep? I usually just have tom, my cat, to protect me but he's not here today" I smiled and then said "of course I'll stay. In between you and me , I'm kind of still afraid to be by myself" we both chuckled and then I went to turn off the light and laid next to Lucas. Other than night raid, he was the only other person I could call a friend.

I tried to make this a cute chapter with levy and lucas(the little boy just in case you didn't catch on). I hope y'all liked it. I wrote two chapters today cause I have nothing to do right now and I'm not sleepy so yeah. See ya next time!👋🏻
