"From what you said it seems you have, uh, noticed it a long time ago."

"That's how it is."

"Were you watching me?"

He means it in a joking way, teasing you could say, but apparently it doesn't work as wished because, fuck, Eren winks and grins blatantly. "Indeed I was."

Levi can't speak. He has to keep silent because really, if he tries and says something he's gonna stutter like shit right now.

He opts for the usual, then: an arched eyebrow and an expressionless look. Good job soldier, good job.

"So, I make it my personal aim to be a good waiter and treat my customers the best way possible. Which means, I gotta know your name."

"You- you gotta know my name?"

"I absolutely need to. You know, you're a regular after all."

"Mhph. If it is your personal aim, how is it you're, uh, you're only asking me now?"

Eren licks his lips a little but, god, is it doing things to him. The little shit is doing it on purpose, there's no other option. "You know? I'm asking myself the same question."

"Levi."

"Mh?"

"My name is Levi."

Eren grins once again, looking at him with no shame at all. "An important name, I see; perfect for such a fine person." Eren moves farther from the counter, eyes still on Levi. "Then, Levi , I'd be very pleased if I could spend all day talking with you, but it's now occurring the tragic need of me doing my job. See you tomorrow, then." He winks again and just turns around, as if he hasn't just done the shittiest flirt Levi has happened to witness, the bastard.

Levi gulps the rest of the tea with a pouting face. His eyes only accidentally fall on his watch and fucking freaking fuck, he's so damn late he's gonna kill himself to make it easier.

He leaves some money on the counter and, grabbed the pastry he hasn't even bitten yet, he rushes out of the shop as if he's got the devil at his back.

He totally didn't hear Eren's laugh.
