"Are you having trouble?" I leaned against the closet door waiting for Levi to finish changing, "it's not like it's anything I haven't seen."

UNLESS.....

"One second-" Levi's muffled voice responded.

i mean this basically confirms it doesn't it?

"Take all the time you need, it must be difficult hiding your fangs every single day," I lowered my voice so no one out in the hall could hear. "I wish you felt comfortable revealing yourself to me- I mean- we're husband and wife."

i don't mind you being a vampire

in fact

I EMBRACE IT

"I am not a vampire," the door swung open causing me to stumble into a half-dressed Levi Ackerman.

i can think of a long list of people who would kill to be in this position

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Well whenever you want to come out to me, just know that I won't judge you," I beamed, flicking him in the nose. "Did you pick out a cravat yet? I'll match my dress to it if you have."

it would be ballsy to show up in a white dress

i won't do that though-

even though we're 100% going to be ruining it- it is a ball being held for an engagement

"I'll match you," Levi leaned in the doorway, watching me, "wear something comfortable."

don't worry about me

"Right," I ran my fingers across the dresses I had brought, already beginning to think of how I wanted my hair done. "You know, I feel like I've really grown into this role."

for someone who originally intended to slack off and live without disturbing anyone

i feel like i've come to enjoy this position in a way i never thought i would

i'm glad

"You've fit it from the very beginning," Levi came up from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You have to have a shit ton of courage to pull a Duke into your fake marriage scheme."

HEY

"That was 100% an accident," I looked up at him. "You're just the lucky bastard who walked in at that exact moment."

who knows- had he walked in a moment later i may have dragged someone else down with me

"I'm not sure if lucky is the right wo-" I cut him off with an elbow to the gut. "I'm lucky."

"I'm glad it was you," I murmured, grabbing his hand in mine, "I mean, I feel like anyone else would've thrown me out during the carriage ride home."

someone else wouldn't have agreed

"I was about to."

"No you weren't- you find me entertaining."

"That's one way to put it."

"I mean really, you're the weird one here- who agrees to a marriage proposal from some random woman? It doesn't make any sense."

I KNOW WHAT HIS REASONING WAS BUT .

IDK I FEEL LIKE THERE WERE BETTER OPTIONS FOR HIM???

HE ALSO AGREED WAY TOO QUICKLY- IF I WAS HIM I WOULD DO A BACKGROUND CHECK OR TWO

"Our goals aligned, it would've been idiotic to say no."

"Or you fell in love with me at first sight and decided to accept because you were oh so taken by my beauty and my ambition."

the thing is

"Are you sure you aren't the one who fell in love at first sight?" He turned it around on me, "I mean you were the one who proposed to me a day after that ball."

WELL PLAYED

"Oh whatever," I paused, kissing his knuckles, "falling in love at first sight is boring, I prefer how we went about it."

it was fun

"Me too."

"I liked learning who I was around you, I liked growing into our relationship."

"And I enjoyed watching you act all conflicted about your emotions," he chuckled. "You're too transparent."

"WHATEVER- IT TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT TO REALIZE HOW I FELT-"

SO WHAT....

"I beat you to it."

"MAYBE I WOULD'VE REALIZED SOONER HAD YOU GOTTEN ME FLOWERS OR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF A DESK."

"I WAS MAKING SPACE FOR YOU IN MY LIFE."

"AND I APPRECIATE IT BUT- FARLAN WAS MORE ROMANTIC THAN YOU THAT DAY."

LET US NOT FORGET...

"Fuck you."

OH MY GOD

"Levi-" I gasped dramatically, "have you ever gotten me flowers?"

I DON'T THINK HE HAS ???

HE'S SO BAD AT THIS WHOLE ROMANCE THING

HE'S SO LUCKY HE HAS ME.......

"I-" he paused, thinking, "it was winter-"

"YOU'RE LOADED???"

YOU CAN 100% GET FLOWERS UP THERE

"I love you?"

SWEET TALK WILL GET YOU NOWHERE

"I swear- the first time you're going to do that is going to be our wedding day," I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's not like you've gotten anything for me," Levi grumbled under his breath.

i mean one of us is getting harassed by a princess for existing as your wife and the other one is-

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Did you bring a navy cravat? I'm going to be wearing this dress," I pulled a long navy dress off the rack.

i haven't worn this one yet

"Right here," Levi pulled one out, "I'll wear this suit then."

OH YEAH

"Yeah, put a shirt on," I teased.

"You like it."

"Only a little bit."

a lot bit

"Sure, thing."

"You're the one who's waiting around in this closet for me to change," I murmured, glancing over my shoulder at him.

absolutely no room to be talking

"I am? I didn't realize," Levi covered his eyes with his hand, clearly peaking through the gaps.

real slick

"Get dressed already."

"Alright."
