Choice [Levi X Reader] (Au!)

¤Chapter 11: Surprises & Secrets¤

"I love you."

Cobalt-blue eyes widened to hear her confession; a silent gasp left his lips. Levi stopped on his track, he could hear his heart pounding loudly in his ears. A pair of delicate hands wrapped around his torso from behind. Levi gently placed his hand over her owns.

A lean body pressed against him, he heard her ask, "Why can't you see what I want?"

He felt a pang in his heart to hear the sadness ridden in her voice. The words he wanted to tell her caught in his throat. He remained silent, pondering whether he should tell her the truth or not. Her grip on him tightened, and she leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "Tell me the truth, Levi."

Taking a deep breath Levi turned to face her, a determined look on his face. He could hear the voices in his mind whispering again, telling him should not wish for her love that was just another distant mirage.

No, he made up his mind that he would not obey those whispers anymore, he would break those barriers in his mind once created.

He looked at her, meeting her hopeful eyes. "You and I both know the truth, don't we? If you still want to hear it from me, then I'll say it to you. The truth is..."

--

A light touch behind his ear.

Levi stirred slightly in his sleep at this soft touch. Then few more kisses followed the first one, but this time on the nape of his neck. He tried to open his sleep-laden eyes to see who dare to interrupt his precious sleep, but could not do that.

He was lying on his front, hugging a pillow to his chest. "Stop doing it," he whined and buried his face in his pillow, "(y/n), stop doing it."

Someone nuzzled at his neck again and softly purred in his ear. "(y/n), didn't I tell you to stop? I'm tired...let me sleep."

Levi was about to drift to sleep again, but suddenly a thought struck him.

'Hold on. (y/n) does not sleep in my room.'

Levi's eyes cracked open and a frown wrinkled his forehead. Then he felt someone lick on the shell of his ear and something tickled the side of his face.

'If it is not her then... The heck?'

His eyes snapped open and jolted to sit up on the bed. As Levi sat up, he felt something soft dropped to the mattress and buried it under the duvet. Before he could see what was that, Levi's eyes fall on Eren, who stood by the bed with a big smile on his face.

Levi stared down at Eren bewildered as the little boy got up on the bed and started to search for something under the duvet. After searching for a few moments, Eren found the thing he was looking for, and it was the last thing Levi expected to see in the morning.

"What the hell?" Levi's eyes widen in disbelief, completely mystified to see the thing in Eren's hand.

Of course, it was normal to react that way when you found a kitten in your bed just after you wake up from sleep, and you also knew you had no pet in your home. Levi's eyes flickered from the kitten to Eren. The white fluff ball stared at Levi with her big twinkling blue eyes and meowed.

Then the kitten slipped from Eren's grip and lazily walked to the onyx-haired man, Levi's eyes followed the small feline.

Levi looked at his son and asked, "From where you get this thing? And why it is in my bed?" he pointed at the kitten which was busy to rub her head against Levi's leg.

Eren picked up the kitten and grinned, "Mommy bring her home last night. Isn't it great, Daddy?"
