He's now walking toward our table with 2 cups of drinks in his hands. He places one infront of me and hold another one for him.
"It's jasmine tea, Take a good smell of it and enjoy its warmth." says Mr Ackerman
then proceeds to drink some kind of dark liqiud-black tea, I guess- he has in quite a peculiar manner. I follow his instruction when then I see someone approaching us.
"H-hello Mr Ackerman, what brings you here?" A light brown haired male dressed in a formal suit greets Mr Ackerman. Wait how does he knows Mr Ackermans name? Does he come here often?
"Well hello Moblit, it's been a long time since I've been here so I thought maybe I could pay a visit. And oh meet my student, Y/n, another reason for me to go here." Mr Ackerman answer the male. The light brown haired male then turns to me.
"I'm Moblit Berner, the manager of this teahouse. You're one very lucky girl, you know that? Our teashop owner seldoms drink tea with other people unless they're very close to him" he said with a smile.
"The owner?" I ask because this really confusing.
No one said anything about the owner before. "Why yes, Mr. Levi Ackerman right here is the owner of Tea Haven." Moblit smiles.
Holy shit....I look at Mr Ackerman. He smiles at me.
"Mr Ackerman, why-"
"Levi." He cut my word.
"Just call me Levi when we're outside school"
"Okay, Levi, why didn't you tell me anything about this?" I ask Mr Ackerman-I mean, Levi.
"Well I want to see if you are worthy to have a tea with." he says that while shrugging his shoulders.
"Is there anything I could get you, miss Y/n?" Moblit asks me. I look at Levi and he gives me an approving nod.
"I dont know to be honest... This is my first time having a tea in a teahouse. What would you suggest?" I ask Moblit.
"Well actually every cakes we have here are faved by our customers but carrot cake is a top seller. Would you like to have some of it?" Moblit is really well-mannered man, I must say that. I nod and off he go to the kitchen.
Just then I heard someone calls to Levi from across the room.
"Hey Levi, long time no see! How are you shorty?" A woman, glasses on his nose and quite a messy ponytail walks to us. She wears a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants. She grabs a chair from nearby table, places it at our table before sitting on it.
"Hi, I'm Hange Zoe. You can call me Hange. I take charge of this teahouse when Levi's not around. And you?" Hange introduced herself while offering a handshake.
"I'm Y/n. Levi's student." I shake her hand.
"So how's shorty doing for his first day? Did he cried? I remember he said he was so nervous last week and practiced some sort speech infront of the mirror for hours" Hange burst into laughter and ruffles Levi's hair.
I giggled at the way Hange referred Levi as shorty. It's true, for an adult man Levi seems to be a little short than the usual guys around his age. Levi's face redden and seems pretty pissed off.
"You really can't keep your shitty mouth shut, don't you shitty four eyes?" Levi averts his eyes away to the window. Hange's still laughing.
"You really did that! How can I shut up about it! Even Erwin only took just a day to propose me."
"Just ignore Hange,Y/n. Ever since she got engaged she won't up about how her fiance, Erwin or rather as I call him big ass tree, proposed to her." Levi rolls his eyes into the head.
A moment later, Moblit come with the carrot cake and places it infront of us.
"Wow carrot cake! My favourite!" Hange takes a fork and really really close to dive the fork into the cake when Levi stops her.
"No, Hange. The cake's for Y/n. If you want some, get your ass moving and grab it by your own." Hange sighs in frustration.
"Just a little bit, Levi? Just a mini miney tiny little bit?" Hange begs.
"Hange, you were about to stab that cake right infront our guess. What makes you think I believe you're having a tiny bit of it?" says Levi in cynical tone.
"It's okay, Hange. You can have some."
I say while pushing the plate toward her. Her face is delighted with the offer and ready to stab that fork again in the cake when again Levi stops her.
"Fine, I'll get my own piece of cake. No, better yet I'll ask Erwin to come over and eat the cake together with him because you dont want me to tag along in your date here."
Date? Hange thought we're on a date? My cheeks blushing when she said that. Does it seems like we're dating?
"No Hange, it's not a date. I'm her teacher and she's my student. That's all. I'm sending you off because I'm afraid that you're gonna act recklessly infront of our guest. Gosh, I dont even know how that big ass tree can stand with your childish behavior!" Levi corrects Hange's statement. Yeah that's true. I'm just a student and he's my teacher, right? We only meet today. There's no way we're dating.
"Yeah, right. Whatever." Hange walks off and then throws her arm on Moblit's shoulder who's now standing behind the counter. Maybe she's requesting some carrot cake from him too, I dont know.
"Ah finally, some peace, Now eat up Y/n. Like Moblit said this one is a top seller." he says
" If you want to know, this cake is actually a result of Hange's experiment. She keeps experimenting with new flavour and ingredient until we got the finest flavour we have here. Actually all the cakes here are created through her experiments. Might not seem like it but Hange really is a genius in the kitchen. I guess that's how she attracts Erwin. She's a wonderful and passionate woman, really. Now dig up." continue Levi while handing me a fork. At the same time, I love how he compliments Hange right now even though he sent Hange off just now.
I take the fork, cut the cake into a bite size and shove it into my mouth. He is right, the cake really is delicious!
I never had some really nice cake since my mom died. Actually not even for my birthday since she's dead. Drowning in my own thought that I didnt realize I'm already reaching the last bite of the cake. Damn, it was good! I took a sip of the jasmine tea and enjoying it's fragrant.
"So, do you feel a lot better now?" Levi asks me.
"Yes." I answer to the question shortly. "Do you mind if I ask you why were you crying?" His voice, gentle as ever.
"Yes..." I take a deep breath. And I tell him. I tell him everything.
