~(Y/N)~

Night fell as the carriage pulled up to the front of Ackman Castle. It was a two day ride with Levi back to the palace. Looking out the window I felt my heart jumping from my chest. How I missed this place.

Once the carriage came to a stop we waited as the driver stepped down and opened the door for us. Stepping out I turned and watched as Kenny and Levi got out. Standing next to Levi, he glances down at me before smirking slightly.

Placing his hand on my lower back he gently pushing me forwards inside. Walking up the steps and entering through the large doors was the entering room I had seen so many times. Gently grabbing my arm he led me away from the stairs. "Where are we going?" I ask. Looking up at Levi slightly confused.

"I'm sure you must be starving, we'll eat first then retire for the night." he says. Nodding slightly I follow him down the right hall to the kitchen. Stopping at the door he slowly opened it for me, passing through I look around finding everything still the same, as expected.

The sound of the door closing caused me to turn my head towards Levi who slowly strolled his way over to me. Walking around the counter he looked for some food. A stone cooler at the corner of the room caught his attention as he quickly approached it. Opening it he shuffled through finding frozen meats and vegetables. Pulling out a small glass container he placed it on the counter. Closing the cooler back up he turned to me with the container in his hand.

Slightly confused as to what was in the container I watch as he opens it. After opening it he then went about the kitchen searching for something. Opening the drawers he seemed to be searching for utensils. Trying to hold back my laughter at the sight of him lost in his very own kitchen I contemplated on helping him. "Aha." he mutters. Pulling out two spoons he placed them on the counter before continuing his search.

Opening the cabinets one by one he stopped at the very end after finding two bowls. Pulling them from the shelf he placed them on the counter and closed the cabinet doors. Turning back to me he started dishing out the food into bowls. It was ice cream, A weird food to be feeding us before bed.

Sliding one bowl full towards me I patiently wait until he had his own. Standing there leaning against the counter we both ate our ice cream silently, every so often I'd catch him glancing up at me before darting his eyes back down at his food.

After we had finished our food I took the bowls and placed them in the sink. Walking around the counter I go to meet Levi by the door. Standing beside him we both exit the kitchen and walk down the hall to the entrance room.

Ascending the stairs up to the third floor I glance up at Levi who was ahead slightly. As we made it to the last step we turned to the left entering the hall. As we started coming up to my old room I found that my bags weren't there. Assuming I'd be sleeping in my old chambers I stand there confused. Looking to Levi who was standing by his office doors he looked back confused at me.

Opening the door to my room I check to see if they had placed my clothes in the room, but there was no sign of them. Leaning back I saw Levi's hand grabbed the knob, closing the door I look up at him. Are we going to sleep in the same room?

"Idiot, if we're going to be lover's now we might as well get used to sleeping in the same room...u-unless you're not ready." he stutters towards the end.

I felt my face grow warm at the thought of sharing a bed with him. "I-I see... It makes sense." I say, walking past him I start to head for his office. Opening the glass doors I slowly enter, looking around I find he hadn't changed anything which was nice. Remembering the nights I had spent here watching over him brought a slight smile to my face. So many memories here.
