Prompt: "What's with the box?"


Hanji is a good friend. Though he may not say it out loud – Hanji says it for him – but everyone, including himself, knows it. If you were to ignore how she barges into your room regardless your state of attire, how she drops the most embarrassing innuendos at all the wrong moments, how she makes sure you get your daily dosage of "fun", Hanji is a good friend.

Yet, there are times when he wants to kill this good friend of his.

Nothing escapes her eyes; Levi once suspected she has bionic sight, either that or she has X-ray vision when she found out about his deep dark secret that no one else who knows it is still alive. If she was in a good mood, she'd keep things (about others, of course) to herself, but of all things, she just had to fucking blurt it out.

"What's with the box? You've had it for like 3 weeks already! Just-"

He blames the alcohol because he has the brains to not commit homicide when there's so many people surrounding him and thanks Erwin mentally for dragging her away. Beside him, Petra sips at her martini at side-eyes him, her questioning eyes making him feel extremely conscious of everything.

Only his Petra had the power to do that.

"So, what was Hanji referring to? What box?"

I hate her!

"Nothing," he tells her, and takes a downs another shot to try to play things cool. "you know how crazy that idiot gets when she's drunk."

"Really?" Petra asks with suspicion laced in her question. "But she nev-"

"Let's go dance." He grabs her wrist and brings her to a corner on the dance floor, taking advantage of the slow song currently playing to try and change the topic.

Levi knows Petra loves to dance. Bringing his arms around her waist, he pulls her closer with minimal space between them, fingers smoothing the teasing bit of exposed skin as his kisses her temple. Dipping his mouth a little lower, he whispers, "You're beautiful."

Petra leans her head against his shoulder and tells him, "You're so bad at changing topic." Placing a kiss at the side of his neck, she slowly advances up towards his ear and then to his mouth, finally giving him a sweet kiss. "But I love you anyway."

"Yeah, I love me too." He smirks.

"Levi!"
