“Come on! We gotta celebrate!” Isabel announces, grabbing your and Levi’s wrists and pulling you both towards a nearby restaurant. Farlan stands not too far behind her, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Isabel, I know you’re excited and all, but we don’t have that much money and-”

“Big whoop! We’ll be long gone before they can catch us,” again, she dismisses Farlan while at the same time, placing that focus on Levi. “Please Big Bro? Just this once?”

Levi looks unamused, but he says nothing. Isabel grins, taking his silence as a yes.

“It’s settled then. Come on, [First]! Tonight, you and I feast like queens!”

The table is small, but it’s big enough to fit your group. Since the two chairs facing each other are occupied by Farlan and Isabel, you sit beside Levi and watch as Isabel happily wolfs down her dinner.

“Slow down, or you’re gonna choke, idiot,” Farlan grins, dropping his chin into one hand as he lazily swirls a bottle of champagne in the other. Reaching over, he pours some of the crimson liquid into Levi’s cup, then yours. “And as for you two, especially you [First], don’t be shy. Eat as much as you want.”

“Thanks Farlan, but-”

“Don’t baby her,” Levi interrupts, taking a sip from his cup. You pick up your own cup, huffing slightly at Levi’s behavior towards you before raising your own glass to your mouth. Just as the liquid passes your lips, a sharp bang startles you, and you cough slightly to clear your lung from the sudden intake of liquid. Farlan reaches over, slightly patting your back to help clear your throat, and you shoot him a grateful look.

Meanwhile, a loud guffaw bursts through the once-silent restaurant, and you and your table peer over to find a large man in a white apron laughing gleefully as he raises his arms in triumph.

“I win! Again!” he boasts as the man beside him slumps in defeat. “Pathetic. Isn’t there anyone in this place that can offer a challenge?”

He scans the room, his eyes finally falling on your group. A smirk forms, and you can’t help but notice how his eyes run up and down your form.

“Say, aren’t you guys the band of thieves running around these parts? I see you’ve found yourself a pretty lady to accompany you,” he winks at you, and you gulp. From beside you, Farlan glares at the man, and Levi’s eyes lift up to meet the shop owner’s gaze. The smile doesn’t fall off his face as he steps closer to your table, his arms resting on the wooden desk. You don’t realize you’ve been shuffling closer to Levi’s side until you feel your hip accidentally bump against his thigh. Thankfully, he doesn’t seem to notice. His eyes are trained on the man instead.

“Tell you what,” the man breathes, his odor pungent. “If any one of you can win against me, your meal will be on the house. You can take whatever you like too. Hell, I’ll even let you take my old lady!”

“Dear!” a woman’s voice echoes from the side, and from your peripheral, you see Levi’s eyes flicker over to her. Despite the obvious age difference, you feel a pang hit your chest, and you growl possessively.

“A smart one, aren’t you, my pretty little lady?” the man chuckles, mistaking your jealousy for assumption as you glower at him. “Well you guessed it, honey. If I win, you get to stay here with me, and I get to do whatever I want with you. Deal?” He looks at Levi for a response, but Isabel beats him to it.

“Like hell we’re giving [First] to you!” she protests angrily tossing the bitten piece of bread back onto the plate. “Keep your damn food and stinkin’ old lady! [First] stays with us!”

The burly man leans back, his nose turned upward.

“Did you hear that, y’all? These Underground criminals aren’t as tough as they put out to be! What a bunch of spineless chickens! They don’t know a challenge when it hits them in the face!”

The restaurant bursts into laughter, and Isabel flushes bright red with anger. She looks ready to throw a punch, but upon Levi rising from his seat, she falls silent.

“Brother?”

“I’ll do a round,” Levi declares, pulling his sleeve back and holding a fist out. Farlan’s jaw drops and so does yours. Isabel looks too stunned to speak, and even the shop owner looks surprised for a moment. Not too long after, he grins. He obviously has the better chances. Compared to Levi, he's a Titan.

“I retract my statement. One of you does have a spine after all. Good. You got yourself a match, kid. I don’t know about your strength, but will it be enough to beat me?” He grabs onto Levi’s hand as he’s talking, forcing both their elbows to rest on the wooden desk. A crowd starts to form around you, and a random man walks in, placing his palm on top of Levi and the shop owner’s intertwined hands.

“I’ll be the referee. Ready…”

“Remember. Anything you want,” the shop keeper smirks. Levi looks impassive, but at the same time, focused. You don't miss the way his eyes look past the man, and at the lady. Was she that attractive, or something? You don't get it, and neither does Farlan.

“Don’t tell me we’re bringing that lady home with us…”

Isabel snaps, slamming her palms on the table.

"But we can't afford to lose [First] either! Beat this guy's ass, Big Bro!"

“Set…”

“You better not cry when I take your lil’ lady home with me.”

A cold sweat breaks out, and you feel like you can pass out any second. You don't want to go with this man. You want to stay with Levi. You bite your bottom lip to prevent yourself from spewing out profanities. You glance at Levi every so often, trying to decipher his unreadable expression. Did he really hate you that much? Enough to just bet you away to some overweight, arrogant pig who wanted one thing and one thing only from you? Was that woman that much more preferable over you? What did you ever do wrong?

How could h-

From beneath the table, you feel a hand clench yours, cutting off your thought. For a second, you think that Levi read your mind and was reassuring you, but when you trace the hand back up to the owner, it’s not him. Although Farlan is looking at the scene before him, the gentle squeeze on your hand tells you that everything’s going to be okay. A second thought tells you that Farlan is silently asking that you trust Levi. Your eyes soften, trailing back over to the duo.

“Go!”

It’s over in the blink of an eye; Levi’s pulling his hand away as the man wails at the sudden pain. Shoving past him, Levi approaches the counter where the man’s wife stands, stunned. Once he’s face to face with her, she starts fiddling with the apron of her dress, eyes focused on him and cheeks aflame.

“W-wait! Please don’t take my wife – I’m begging you!” the keeper pleads (and you silently agree with him), but Levi ignores him, reaching his palm out to grab her, or so you thought.

His hand passes her head, fingers curling around something else.

And that’s when your cheeks turn bright red for being such a foolish, jealous child. You drop your head into your hands, shaking your head while trying to suppress laughter.

“Of course,” Farlan doesn’t attempt to hide the smile overtaking his face as he watches you giggle. “I should’ve known.”

“Let’s get out of here,” Levi’s already heading out the door with the box of tea leaves in hand, and you, Isabel, and Farlan spring up from your seat to run after him.

“Thanks for the free food!” Isabel swoops down to snag one of the bread that falls from your hands in your haste before saluting the men and closing the door.

-Extended Ending-

“Hey Levi,” Farlan muses as he steps up to the male, “If you lost, would you have given [First] to the man?”

“…”

Well, you didn’t want to hear his answer anyway.
This short was cute, so I thought I'd make my own version of it with Reader-chan included. I hope you guys enjoy~ :giggle:
Levi...if he wants to, he can really be cute personality-wise in this case.
