Cutie! (Levi X Shy!Reader, Modern AU) Ch.7

From the last chapter...

---

He slowly pulls away from you, and your heart sinks a little.  He looks down at you with a soft edge to his usual cold glare as little droplets of water fall from his wet hair.  

"Do you wanna stay here for the night?" he asks softly.
Your cheeks warm as you nod.  Hand in hand, he guides you to the living room.  "Wait here," he says as he turns to what you assumed was the bedroom.  
Your eyes sweep the spotless room.  There was a couch, a coffee table, and a TV on a stand.  There was another door to your right, and you could see a counter top.  
'Living room, kitchen, bedroom...bathroom connected to bedroom?' You guessed, trying to map out the space.

Levi stands in the doorway with two towels and a pile of clothes in one hand, and gestures for you to follow him in, which you do.
'Even his bathroom is spotless...' You think as he places the pile of towels onto the sink counter and turns to you.
'Is he...blushing?!'  You think, trying hard to not giggle.  His usual stoic expression was still in place, but there was a slight pink colour on his cheeks.  
"Call if you need anything..." He mutters before marching out if the bathroom.
"T-thank you.." You say quickly.  He turns his head slightly to look at you and you try to give him your most sincere smile.  He grunts and practically slams the door shut behind him.  You let out a small giggle before you get into the shower.

That night you slept in Levi's bed while he slept on his couch.  You couldn't remember how many times you told him that you would be fine sleeping there instead, but he just wouldn't take 'No' for an answer.  His look of annoyance became more and more a look of anger so you finally decided to just accept his offer and retired to his bedroom.  
And you were so glad you did.
When you climbed into his bed, you were immediately enveloped in his scent.  You let out a small sigh as you breathed in the smell of his blankets and pillows, burrowing down into the fluffy comforter so that only your nose and eyes were peeking out over the top.  You slowly closed your eyes, taking deep breaths through your nose.  Suddenly the peaceful feeling you had disappeared into one of deep embarrassment.  
'I'm such a creep!  Smelling his blankets, what the hell is wrong with me?!  Stop being such a pervert [Name]!'  You yell at yourself, your face now as red as a tomato.  You now squeeze your eyes shut, trying to get to sleep as fast as was humanly possible.  'Pervert, pervert, pervert!' You say to yourself, over and over.  

Not very long after that, you fall asleep, and you were very thankful.

A few hours later, you were sleeping soundly, but Levi was not.  He doesn't usually have trouble sleeping, but he doesn't usually have you in his bed.  He quickly but quietly get's up and goes to the kitchen for a glass of water.  He turns the tap on and fills a glass and gulps it down, then he carefully places it down into the sink.  His eyes scan over the spotless kitchen.  He sighs and runs a hand through his ebony hair, pulling it away from his face.  
Before he even realizes it he is standing outside his bedroom, watching the blankets rise and fall gently as you slept.  He creeps up next to the bed and his eyes watch you as you sleep.  Your [h/c] hair pools around your head, with a few stray strands still on your face.  Your beautiful face that is always filled with constant worry is now peaceful and angelic.  He leans down slightly, and gently places his fingertips on your [s/c] face.  His eyes wander farther down to your rosy lips.  They looked so soft, and he knew for a fact that they were.  He swallows hard.  You are like his Sleeping Beauty right out of a story book.  If he kissed you, you would wake up.  But more then likely you would run out of the apartment.  He frowns slightly and pushes a lock of your hair behind your ear.  You stir slightly, and Levi decides it's best to leave before you wake up.  He grabs his iPod and headphones, and returns to the couch.  

~Time to get up!~

"Rise and shine," You hear someone say unhappily as the sound of curtains being pulled back fills your ears and sunlight floods into the room.  You shy away from the light, not used to getting up this early.  Once you remember where you are, you sit up and rub the sleep out of your eyes.  
"Don't forget to make the bed."  Levi states before stalking out of the room.
"Okay" You say sleepily as you push the blankets away from you.  You stand next to the bed and look at it for a second.  You don't really remember the last time you made your bed, since you were always tired both when you woke up and when you went to sleep.  You had a fucked up sleeping schedule, but you couldn't help it.  You were never a morning person, so going to sleep at 5am and getting up at 3pm was okay with you.  You quickly try and tidy the bed.  
'Ugh, why are there so many WRINKLES?!'  You think angrily as you place the pillows at the head of the bed.  You finish, and step back to admire your work.  You throw your hands into the air, exasperated.  'It'll have to do...'  You think as you walk out of the bedroom to the kitchen.  Levi is already there, mixing something in a bowl.  He shoves it into your hands and pushes past you and heads to the bedroom.  'Oh no...'
"How old are you? 5?" You here him say irritably.  He glares at you through the doorway.  You give him a sheepish smile and shrug.  He pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, then he starts to fix up the bed the right way (which apparently isn't your way).  

You look down at the bowl in your hands to see what he was making.  'Eggs? And...bacon.'  Your eyes scan the rest of the counter.  'Well, even though I can't clean, I can at least cook!'  You think happily as you continue where Levi left off.  'Did he not put pepper in the eggs?'  You ask yourself as you stir the eggs in the bowl.  'And he didn't even put enough milk in...So he sucks at cooking and is great at cleaning?' You wonder to yourself.

When Levi comes back the bacon is almost done and so are the scrambled eggs.  
"At least you can do something right."  He says.  You give him a slight frown, not sure if he was teasing you or not.  He grabs two plates from the cupboard and hands them to you.  You take them and put the now ready food onto them, giving most of it to Levi since you still feel a little uncomfortable about eating in front of him.  You sit across from each other at his small dining room table.  He looks at you questioningly as you place his plate in front of him.  "How fat do you think I am?"  He asks.  You blush at his question, embarrassed at what he thought you meant when you gave him that much food.
"I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't m-mean it like t-that..."  You stutter.  
He immediately dismisses it and starts eating.  You, still flustered, grab your plate and sit with him, eating your food in small bites.  You look up at him only to see him staring at you straight-faced.  Your cheeks darken and you quickly look down and focus on your plate for the rest of the meal.
Once you're both finished you help him clean up in silence.  'He's not very talkative...Oh well, that's kinda expected.'  You think as you put the plates back where they were before.

Levi has your clothes from the other night washed and dried.  You're very thankful because you felt awkward in the big shirt and the loose sweatpants that barely tied around your waist to hold themselves up.  You get changed very quickly and then you wait in the living room for Levi to get changed as well.  He decided he was going to walk you home, even though it was daytime, because he "Doesn't want to have to save your ass again".  
The rude way he talks offends you a little bit but it also amuses you.  

The walk to your apartment is silent, almost excruciatingly so.  But it was expected, so you try to relax.  
Levi's long strides were keeping you busy most of the time anyway, trying to catch up to him was very difficult.  For such a short man, he walks very fast.  He notices you lagging behind so he slows down a little, which you were grateful for because you felt like you were going to pass out (exercise is not your forte).  
Once you finally arrive at your apartment Levi follows you to your door.  You grab your keys from your purse and look up at him.  "Do you want to come in for a minute?"  You ask shyly.
"I can't."  He says simply.  You feel a little embarrassed at your question and he must have noticed your smile falter because he adds, "Maybe some other time." to his answer.  
You give him a little nod, and turn to your door, and unlock it.  'Maybe it's best if he doesn't come in, it is a little messy...'

You open the door a crack then turn to him and look down, your face flushing from what you were about to say.
"T-Thank you for everything..."  You mutter.
"No problem."  He says as he turns away to leave.  But he stops like he remembered something.  
"Do you have a cellphone?"  He asks.
"Oh! Yuh-yes..."  You say as you start to dig around in your purse.  You find it and pull it out.  
"Let me see."  He demands as he grabs your phone from your shaking hands.  He pulls out his phone too and starts to push buttons.  After about a minute he hands yours back to you.  You peer into the screen to see a new contact added.  'Levi' it said, with his number right next to it.  You flush pink.  You look up at him as he slides his cell back into his pocket.  He takes a step forward and leans down slightly.  
"I'll call you."  He smirked as he gave you a small peck on the cheek.  

He stole one more glance at you before walking back down the hallway, trying to ignore the happy feeling that spread in his chest after seeing your face, as red as a cherry, before he left.
