Lost Time Spent Together
"I made some snacks... and got us some drinks." Levi's voice broke through my thoughts. I had been starring out his window, thinking about the good memories we had together... before everything went wrong.
"Oh? Since when did you make things for someone else?" I teased, smiling as he rolled his eyes, with a small smile on his face.
"That's another thing I've picked up on from a certain green eyed brat." Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
"Didn't I tell you to stop calling my a brat? I am not a brat old man!" I went into a small playful tantrum, causing Levi to laugh at my quirks. His laughter died down as he place the plate of snacks and tray of two drinks onto a wooden table in the middle of the living room.
"What are these anyway?" I asked once I sat down next to him. The treat looked endearing, almost cute with how small and puffed they looked.
"They're chunky cheesecake brownies but I cut them to bite size pieces... have you tried one before?" Levi asked while looking at me.
"Honestly never had one but... doesn't hurt to try right?" Levi nodded at my question as I placed the whole bite sized treat into my mouth. To say that it tasted amazing was an understatement. Once I started to chew my taste buds were assaulted with an explosion of flavor. The cheese was so rich, the chocolate was creamy yet sturdy, it was like a party going on for my taste buds. I got a taste of the rich cheese then it morphed into a sweet chocolate covering, it was like having a slice of cheese cake with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup... except less messier.
"Oh lord..." I moaned once I swallowed. Levi smiled wide behind the rim of his cup, probably thinking I missed the wide smile that spread throughout his lips.
"Good aren't they?"
"Oh am I in heaven? That was amazing... did you make this?" I asked Levi while I took the cup offered to me.
"Yeah... with the help of Hanji.... well more like she forced me to bake with her and I demanded that I take half since I helped her bake them but yeah..." Levi said.
"Hmm... well i'm sure they are amazing because you made them... god only knows what would be in them if she made them by herself." I teased and Levi laughed.
"honestly... she would probably put some hormonal chemical or acid just to see how the human body would react."
"Hah, or some love potion..."
"Oh god that would be horrible." I laughed at Levi as we drank the amazing drinks he made. Levi had made two cocktails using grape fruit and tequila, they tasted amazing. I taste the sourness of the grape fruit yet the blunt force of the tequila and it already got me feeling quite nice.
"Enjoying yourself there?" Came Levi's voice.
"Yeah... I'm... glad you..." Levi looked at me and by the way his eyes were soft and held his emotions told me that he knew exactly what i'm talking about.
"I'm glad too...i'm glad I got another chance to make it up to you... even though I damn well don't deserve it." Levi said in a soft voice, it was a sharp contrast to his usual harsh tone but I was used to this gentle tone. He used to talk to me in this tone when we were alone, or even with friends.
"I missed you..." I mutter out. It must be the alcohol talking, I would never have said this so freely to him without the fear of rejection there. He looks at me with a small smile on his face.
"I missed you too." He says as he leans in softly, I lean in too. Our lips meet in a soft gentle kiss. The kiss was slow and passionate, it felt as if I was a precious piece of art and Levi was handling me with careful hands. I kissed back earnestly, running one of my hands through his hair (Because I know he loves that... despite the time skip between us) and the other over his tones back. We leaned back until I was laying on my back on the sofa and he was on top of me.
"God Eren... I missed you so much..." The deprecate tone in his voice and the sadness in his eyes told me that he meant it. I smiled and lifted my left hand to caress his cheek.
"I know Levi... I know you feel bad and I know that we have a lot of things to get over and fix but for right now, let's just indulge ourselves in this moment... kinda rediscovering I should say" Levi didn't seem convinced and so I tried harder.
"Levi I forgive you, I know you're sorry and I forgive you okay? I miss you and I want to fix this Levi... I want to make it work." Levi looked at me from above and I have to try so hard to stifle a shiver that threatened to shake my body when a memory popped up in my head.
"I... need you Levi... I need you to know that I want you still and I want to fix things... it won't be easy but I am willing to go through hell and back to fix what was broken." I smiled my best dazzling smile and threaded my fingers through his hair to pull him down and connected our lips again before he could doubt himself any longer.
He moaned and the sound rumbled deep within his chest and vibrated against mine. We pulled apart again and we stared at one another. There was some fear, some doubt that sparked up in my chest but that was all thrown out the window when Levi smiled his rarest genuine smile at me and removed his shirt, then all I could think about was
'Oh I'm gonna have some fun tonight.'
