Choice [Levi X Reader] (Au!)

¤Chapter 12: Confession¤

The sky has long since darkened from bleak grey to jet black by the time (y/n) finished all the chores. After Eren fall asleep (y/n) came into the living room with her laptop and a cup of coffee. Sitting by the big marble fireplace, she opened her laptop to finish the remaining work.

The fire blazing in the fireplace sent its warmth and light into the room. The flames flickered, illuminated the dark room by its soft yellow light. The room was quiet with no sounds except the crackle of dry wood burning and the sound of the typing on the laptop.

But after typing a few lines she shut down the laptop and kept it aside. (y/n) grabbed the coffee cup and took a sip when the porcelain clock above the carved fireplace mantel chimed, indicating it was nine.

She glanced at the clock and then to her mobile phone which was lying on her lap. Levi sent a message a few hours ago saying he would be late due to some urgent matter in the office. As usual, he didn't mention when he would come back home but did not forget to tell her not to wait for him for dinner.

(y/n) thought she would finish typing her report after doing all the chores, but her thoughts drifted to something else. She stared at the cup in her hand, swishing the liquid around in it absently, mind lost in the events happened a few days ago.

Eren was throwing a lot of tantrums that night. He usually sleeps in his or (y/n)'s room, but that night he wanted to sleep in his father's bedroom.

If it was only him want to sleep in Levi's room that would not be a problem to (y/n), but the little boy wanted his mother to sleep in the same room with them. And that was the biggest problem.

(y/n) could not make him understand that it was not possible. She could not tell him the reason why they sleep in different rooms even after two years of marriage. But the stubborn boy was not ready to listen to a single word of his mother. So he ran to his father to get permission.

Levi was going to take a bath when Eren burst opened the door of his bedroom. As much (y/n) knew Levi, she was sure he would definitely say no to Eren's request.

To her surprise, Levi said they can sleep in his room. Before (y/n) could assume anything else Levi cleared the matter, stating he gave the permission because he did not want Eren to think he was neglecting him or not giving him enough attention and affection.

Though his reason seemed a bit odd to (y/n), she did not give much thought to it. Seeing Levi & Eren getting along with each other so well she felt relieved.

However, much to her relief, Eren threw another tantrum and that was Leo & Luna would also sleep with them. Obviously, Levi said no to this and that made Eren in tears. It was the last thing his parents wished to see.

"Okay, your pets can sleep in the bed." Levi huffed, "But I won't sleep beside them. Now it's up to you where they will sleep."

So now the sleeping arrangements were like this - (y/n) in the middle of the two boys and the pets would sleep on the side of Eren. The boys satisfied with this, but they did not notice the nervous look on (y/n)'s face.

Levi & (y/n) never shared a room before this, let alone share a bed. They never get the chance to intimate due to the barriers between them, but suddenly because of Eren, an unexpected chance came to them for which (y/n) wasn't ready. And Levi's calm demeanour & half-naked body did not help to calm her down a bit.

(y/n) sucked a sharp breath to see Levi standing before her, shirtless. She could not blame her mind drifted to think some inappropriate things to see such a handsome man standing shirtless in front of her.
