Chapter 13: Name

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

The night was long and peaceful as the only thing that could be heard was the tweeting of nocturnal birds and the stridulation of crickets. Leaves starting to fall as autumn was approaching them soon, the night became colder and the wind blows through the grass.

Soldiers talking, some happier than others as they exited the dining hall. Candle lights illuminated the inside and the outside of the dining hall, it was quiet as not a lot of people resided inside. It was a Sunday night and everyone needed to sleep to start training early morning.

Levi felt the eyes of soldiers on him as they walk past him, their stares didn't last long as they were terrified of him. At the porch, he was waiting for a certain brunette to go out and if he was being completely honest, at this point he felt like Maria was avoiding him. She was taking too long to come out and she had promised him to meet him soon outside.

Soon enough, Maria appears as she says her goodbyes to her friends and the house attendants give Levi a teasing look. Not like he cares too much.

Maria walks towards him, she was extremely embarrassed and didn't even dare to greet him properly. She thought it would be easier to greet him now since he suddenly made their relationship serious and public. Although Maria would fantasize about wanting to have a serious relationship with Levi, she didn't think they would make it public this early. Everything was happening so fast that she just didn't know how to react. From being friends with benefits to being in a formal and public relationship ... All in one night.

Without realizing, Maria sees Levi taking off his brown uniform jacket, leaving exposed his white long sleeve shirt and cravat.

"Wear it," he says as he extends his hand, offering her his jacket. Maria didn't realize it before but she was trembling a bit due to the cold.

"But, what if people see?"

"Does it matter?"

And he was right, it didn't matter anymore. Maria accepts the jacket reluctantly as she is still not used to the feeling. She wears it as she immediately gets to smell his natural aroma mixed with soap. Not the sexiest of smells but it definitely was good. And for her, there was nothing more attractive than a man that has good hygiene.

She has worn his jacket multiple times before but it wasn't until now that she realized that his jacket was a bit tight on her shoulders. It must have been normal since she was a few inches taller than Levi but her imagination went wild. The thought of getting weight scared her and she wouldn't mind too much if it wasn't that she was now dating Captain Levi. She wanted to look the best for him so he wouldn't be embarrassed by dating a tavern dancer.

She is dating Captain Levi.

She is Levi's girlfriend.

"Let's go home,"

This must be the first time in which Maria and Levi rode the same horse together. It was strange enough, quiet but they weren't uncomfortable. Levi enjoyed having Maria's hands wrapped around his waist and her face in his right shoulder. She was giving him warmth while he held the reins of the horse, galloping it slowly. The house attendant was also having a good time. Her face was close enough to his neck, and his natural aroma filled her nostrils. Her attention got drawn towards his black beautiful hair.
