Chef Levi x Reader: An Unlikely 'Pear'

~Levi~

It was a quiet day at Midnight Shrine Diner. After many years of training in the art of food, I became a chef of my own diner with young cooks wanting to learn from me. I wasn't all that popular at the moment, but there were days it'd be busy.

As my other cooks prepared the breakfast meals for our few customers I peer over their shoulder keeping check. Taking the spoon from Eren I have a taste of the sauce. "More salt," I tell him.

"Right away chef," he says quickly adding a dash of salt. Stepping over to the next I check their work finding it adequate. I was about to check on Erwin who had been washing dishes when I heard the front door ding. Turning away from him I make my way out of the kitchen and out into the dining area.

My hostess was running late, therefore, I would step in. A young girl who seemed to be in her early to mid-twenties stepped up to the station. "Good morning Miss, table for one?" I ask.

Smiling she nodded. "Yes please," she says.

My eyes scan her outfit quickly, she looked like a businesswoman by what she wore, it suited her body perfectly. "Right this way," I say extending my arm out towards the dining area.

Leading her to a table I sat her next to the window by the kitchen door, giving me the best view of her. Setting her menu I watch her sit and lay her purse beside her. "I am Chef Levi, and I'll be your waiter for today," I inform her.

Smiling she nodded once before picking up her menu. Walking off I decided to bus some tables. I waited for her to turn to me or at least put her menu down so I could go over and ask her what she would like to order. Oddly I felt the need to talk to her more, I wanted to get to know her, befriend her at least.

The second she placed down her menu I was on my feet quickly darting for her table. Until I was sidetracked by an elder woman. She needed assistance back to her table from the bathroom. "Thank you, young man, you're very kind," she says in her raspy tone.

Smiling I quickly refill her water, then set the water on an empty table as I rush back to the girl's table. "Ready to order Miss?" I ask.

She smiled again before nodding. "Yes, I would like your Omurice with black tea as my drink," she order. For some reason I felt happy with her order, it was my favorite dish along with a cup of tea. Smiling I quickly jot it down although I knew the recipe by heart.

I took off for the kitchen and set up my station to make the woman her food. As I began throwing things together I noticed I didn't hear the usual clanking of dishes being used. It was completely silent. Turning my head away from my pan I look to find all of my cooks staring at me with wide eyes.

"What the hell are you staring at?" I ask in a grouchy tone.

They quickly averted their gaze and went back to work. I finished making the woman her food making sure it was the best Omurice I had made. Exiting the kitchen I carry the tray over to her table along with her tea and the kettle for refills.

Setting the tray on the table I take the plate and cup off, setting it before her she thanked me and smiled. Taking the tray I begin walking away when I stop. This is probably the only chance I'll get to talk to her...she does seem rather lonely. Turning back I watch her start eating.

Setting my tray on top of Eren's who had been walking by I turn and walk back to her table. Folding my hands over my stomach I bend over slightly. "Uh... Miss." I call.

Turning her head she smiled gently. "Yes?" she asks.

Scratching the back of my head with my left hand I turn my head slightly to the side, staring at the chair in front of her. "I couldn't help but notice... you seemed rather lonesome... I was wondering if I could sit and maybe talk with you?" I ask. I waited for her to reject me, to say that she was fine, to find some excuse for me not to sit with her.
