「Anime x Reader One Shots」

A Thousand Times of Yes (Levi Ackerman x Reader) {AU}

The dim lighting was the first thing you noticed when you stepped inside the restaurant. The lighting only heightened the romantic appeal of it. The second thing was the elegant, yet expensive, decorations placed all around. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling of the entrance hall to show all how high class this facility truly was.

You teetered in your high heels as you walked past table after table of elegantly dressed people, feeling self-conscious in your attire. It wasn't as if you were underdressed in your red cocktail dress and black, high heels. It was the fact that you weren't used to being as dressed up as you were now that made you all the more nervous. Most of the people present seemed far too natural buried within their diamond jewelry.

As you finally reached the table where Levi was at, he stood up from his seat once he saw you. His arms wrapped around you in a loving embrace before placing a quick kiss on your lips. Sitting down across from him, you relished in the view of him all dressed up. It wasn't every day that you got to see Levi Ackerman dressed in a tuxedo. It was a sight that you enjoyed far too much.

"You look decent," he said in a nonchalant tone, but the growing smile on his face gave away his true feelings.

"The same could be said for you," you told him, sitting up straighter in your seat.

At just the reminder of the tuxedo he was wearing, he immediately started tugging on the tie around his neck in an attempt to loosen it up. "This thing is like a damn death trap," he muttered mostly to himself.

"It's a man's equivalent to high heels."

He chuckled slightly, before looking down at the menu in front of him. He rubbed his wrist slowly and that's when you knew something was up. Leaning across the table, you were hit with a waft of gag-worthy scent when he let out a breath of air.

"You've been smoking again," you stated, your smile quickly fading. It used to be a horrible habit of his that you managed to help him to stop for the most part.

"Calm down, I'm not back at it again," he told you, avoiding to look you in your eyes. "Tonight was a one-time thing for nerves and such."

"Nerves? Is everything okay?"

"Just being in this fancy ass restaurant is all."

"Since when does the Levi Ackerman I know give a shit about what other people think of him?"

"Tch. Nothing's wrong, okay? Let's just enjoy this night together," he said, reaching his arm across to clasp your hands in his.

"Levi..." you said, pulling your hands away. "Don't push me out. I will walk out of here right now if you don't tell me."

He groaned, placing his hands on his head. You waited for a few moments for him to finally give an explanation, but he didn't. Frustrated tears filled the corner of your eyes. If he wanted to push you out, fine. But you didn't want him to expect you to come running back to him afterward.

You swiped your tears away with the back of your hand before anyone, including him, could see. Standing up, you planned to go through with your threat, but he wasn't going to let you go that easily.

"You're being stupid, [name]," he told you as he crossed his arms over his chest. He still refused to look you in the eye which caused you to be even more distressed.

"If you want to break up with me, just do it! Don't just shove me out of your life just for me to fumble around and figure out what you're true motive is."

"My true motive?" he asked with a laugh. "Sit down and calm yourself. You sound crazy right now."

That last line struck a chord with you. Worrying about Levi and your relationship with him was suddenly a crazy thing to do? So that's how it would be. Your expression turned from one of anger to one of disappointment and sorrow. It didn't take him long to realize how harsh his words sounded.

"Wait, fuck. I didn't mean it like that. [name], please," he begged, shooting up from his seat.

"Call me when you're ready for me to be back in your life," you told him. You turned your back to him, afraid that you would burst into tears at the sight of him.

"For fuck's sake, [name], just turn around."

Already close to losing your temper with him, you turned around, ready to scream at him to leave you alone. What you saw when you did turn around instantly made you forget you were angry in the first place. Your hands shot over your mouth to cover a gasp that was ready to come.

Kneeling before you in front of the whole restaurant was Levi, holding a single diamond ring in his hand. He rolled his eyes at your sudden show of shock.

"There's nothing like a diamond to get a girl's attention," he commented, but there was a teasing smirk pulling on his lips.

"Levi... I..." you stammered, trying to come up with the right words to say.

"If you're still demanding an answer, I was planning on asking you after dinner and that's why I was so nervous," he told you before muttering one last thing. "Remind me never to try surprising you again."

At a complete loss for words, all you could think of to get your emotions across was to kiss him. Not even caring that there was a whole building full of people that were watching, you entangled your fingers in his dark hair and kissed him passionately. He was obviously taken aback by the sudden show of affection, but he had no complaints. After the two of you pulled away, he looked up at you and held out the ring to you.

"So what do you say?" he asked.

"Yes. A thousand times, yes."

"Only a thousand? Well, I'm eventually fucked."

"I'll consider raising it for you," you told him, kissing him one more time.

He slipped the ring on your finger and cheers filled the room, but you paid no mind to the other people. Staring into Levi's eyes, you knew he would be the only person that would ever matter to you.
