Chapter 6: Acceptance

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

Levi had stayed at a hotel in town while Petra had gone straight home after the date. The night had gone peacefully and he enjoyed the accompany, although the only thing he could think of was someone else.

He had stayed in town because the next day, he had some matters to attend to. Last night, he remembered that he still had Maria's blue blanket she had given him the first night they met. Of course, he wasn't planning on giving it back. He found comfort with it and the warmth of it helped him sleep better. Nonetheless, humanity's strongest soldier felt like he needed to give something back to her.

Now, here he was ... Walking through the town's market, looking to see if there was anything worth buying. What should he get her? Flowers? No, that seemed too cheap and even romantic. He didn't want her to think that he had other intentions. Fruits? No that would be too basic.

"Dresses! We sell beautiful dresses!"

Levi heard a merchant's voice scream almost on his ear. If this wasn't a signal from the Goddesses, then he didn't know what it was.

"Don't you have any other dresses?"

"I only have three, one to work, one to go out to town, and another for special occasions."

He walked towards the merchant, who greeted him with a smile. He was inside a small tent and dresses from all shapes and colors were hanging from the top and basically all around the tent.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"I am looking for a gift, I am not well versed with dresses ... What do you recommend?" Levi said as he looks around the hanging dresses. Some colors were too bright, which from what he has seen, it wasn't Maria's style.

"Well, that depends ... What does your wife usually wear or how is she?"

A shiver ran down Levi's spine. He didn't want to explain himself and since he had pretended to be Maria's husband a couple of weeks ago, he decided that it wasn't that bad and he was going to go with the flow.

"She usually wears soft colors ... She is gentle and kind. Always cleaning and taking care of the house."

"I meant how is her body?" the merchant asked.

"And why the fuck would you want to know how my wife's body is?"                                           

The short man was about to throw hands with the merchant. He didn't even know his wife and he already wanted to fantasize about her body?

"Sir, I need to know so that way I can pick a size."

"Oh-" Levi felt a little bit of heat going to his cheeks but quickly got rid of the feeling. "She is around 5'6 and she is a medium-size from what I can see."

"Got kids?"

Levi felt a bit annoyed at the question but he still decided to reply. "No."

"Well, then I recommend this," the dress merchant went under the counter and Levi just watched him disappear for a moment. Looking through his stuff, the merchant was quick to take out a beautiful white dress. With beautiful flower embroidery at the edge of the dress. Short sleeves and the top part will allow her to show off her collarbones. The dress was completely white but the pink corset will adjust to her waist and push up her breasts.
