Disguise (Levi/ Rivaille Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

Sophie’s Pov 

“I can’t believe you Sophia Marie Hawkhaus! How could you agree to go out with that bastard?” Jean yells at me.

I glare at Jean, “Shut the hell up okay! In fact you should probably thank him because he’s the reason I’m actually even performing with the two of you!”

Jean sits down, quiet. I glare at him, my eyesight going red with anger. I can’t believe he would be so ungrateful! I mean, honestly I knew he could be a bit difficult but I didn’t think this difficult. At the moment he’s pacing the floor back and forth, muttering to himself. I shake my head before getting up and grabbing his hand. Jean jumps a bit but looks down at me none the less. 

“Jean, I understand you’re worried about me and you don’t like Levi but please. I’m tired of doing this on my own, I’m tired of being single. I mean it’s not like I’m going to throw all caution to the wind and let him in so quickly but… God damn it Jean I want to at least give this a shot!”

Jean sighs before pulling me into a hug, “Dammit… why do you have to be all cute like that when I’m trying to be mad?”

“Because I’m amazing.” 

Jean laughs, “Fine, do what you want. Just… be careful yeah? I’d hate to have to go to jail for murdering that bastard.” 

“I will. Believe me, I’m not going to let him into the family so easily. I may be tired of being alone but I’m no fool.” 

“I know you aren’t… I just don’t want to see you get hurt.” 

We stand there for a moment in a hug before I break away and go to check in on Benji. Yesterday when I got him from daycare he’d had a small cold starting. Seeing that I would probably be home for the next two days taking care of him I had no choice but to call up Erwin and explain the situation. Luckily he was nice enough to give me the days off. 

Going into Benji’s room I smile at seeing him sleeping peacefully. I was relieved considering he was mostly coughing a lot and wasn’t getting proper sleep. Brushing my fingers through his light hair I just stand there to watch him. I’m lucky that he looks more like me than his bastard father. It makes everything so much easier. I mean I’d love him no matter what but not seeing my ex in him was a nice bonus. 

Levi’s Pov 

Levi feels… different than usual. Clocking out of the office he feels off. It was strange to think that Sophia actually agreed to go on a date with him. However that wasn’t exactly the feeling either, in fact he felt as though… he was nervous? Thinking back this was perhaps the first time in ten years that he’d gone on a date with someone. Not to mention it being the second time in his life he took someone out. 

“Hey Levi!” Hanji is waving her arm like a maniac as she hurries over to him. 

Levi resists the urge to go and roll his eyes, “What do you want?”

“So I heard down the grapevine that you’re going to go and take Sophie on a date tomorrow.”

“Is that all?” 

Hanji’s grin widens, “So it’s true!” 

“So what? It’s not that shocking. She wants me to be there to see her perform and I suggested this as a fair trade. I didn’t think she’d take the offer.”
