"Good morning," a low voice hummed in my ear.

Hi Levi-

It took me forever to got to sleep last night

NOT MY FAULT SOMEONE DROPPED ME ON THE BED AND WOKE ME UP

"Good morning, I hate you," I grumbled slowly sitting up in bed.

"You don't have to get up yet, we've got a while before the festival actually starts," Levi hummed pulling me back down.

WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP THEN ?

"Did you miss my voice that much that you woke me up?" I teased, laying on my side, facing him.

wow we're so close something could totally happen

don't tempt it

im just kidding <3

"Something like that, you seemed like you wanted to talk more last night."

:/

if you knew why didn't you stay up and listen ?

WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP FOR IT WHEN IT COULD'VE BEEN HANDLED LAST NIGHT

"Wow thanks for caring <3 it wasn't really anything important I just wanted to ask you about some of the other princesses."

mostly annie but i'm also curious about historia who wasn't there

"I can't say I've paid much attention to the rest of them but I'll see what I can do," Levi hummed, probably mentally adding it to the long list of things he had to get done.

wow uhm

yeah im being angsty abt my descriptions now

ok...... good for you i guess <3

"Annie said something while we were talking, about having sympathy for the princess- even though she mentioned that she doesn't support Hitch in trying to undermine our relationship." I frowned, contemplating, "I just don't understand what she's trying to get at."

at the very least if you want me to have sympathy for her you should tell me why

YEAH DON'T JUST LEAVE ME HANGING

ITS VERY CONFUSING

"The second princess?" Levi looked visibly confused, "I don't think I've ever had a conversation with her without the shit first princess hanging over us, your guess is as good as mine. If you do want to know more about them you could try looking into her family history."

The first princess's mother is the late queen-

and the second princess's mother was a noble from a fallen country-

that much is common knowledge

but i'll look into it more

maybe farlan can help? or isabel? I remember Levi sending her out on some sort of mission she probably has a better understanding of current politics than I do

"Enough about boring political things we've been talking about it for a day now I'm sick of it." I let out a long sigh, yawning.

ITS EMOTIONALLY DRAINING

IM READY TO DO SOMETHING FUN

-FOR ONCE

"Your breath smells like shit."

OK .

"I'm so sorry that I don't smell like roses in the morning <3"

"You're breathing in my face Y/N."

ok im sorry 4 that but im not going 2 admit to anything

"It's not like your breath smells any good right now :/"

ACTUALLY WAIT I HAVE NO CLUE

"How do you know what my breath smells like right now Y/N?" He turned his head towards me, raising an eyebrow.

I ACTUALLY DON'T- IT JUST HIT ME THAT YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE CEILING THIS WHOLE TIME

"WELL I DON'T REALLY KNOW BUT- I'M ASSUMING IT SMELLS AWFUL."

OLD MAN BREATH

"I smell like roses 24/7 unlike someone," he rolled his eyes.

stop making fun of me my feelings will get hurt </3 ill make u feel rlly bad

"I could smell like roses if I wanted to."

"You want to smell like shit?"

"Sometimes I have to stop being flawless so that other people like yourself get a chance."

"Likely story."

"That's just how it is, if I was perfect all the time no one would stand a chance."

"That reminds me," Levi murmured, "we'll have to dress like commoners try not to stand out at the festival."

THATS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT-

I MEAN.....

WE'RE BOTH SO ATTRACTIVE

"You sound like you've been before."

i will be petty and get upset if you say yes

"Fuck no."

ok (:

"Well now you sound like you hate the idea."

"Fuck no."

:/

"I'm looking forward to it, really, there's just a lot of shit that could go wrong," Levi looked oddly worried.

well i guess someone could stab me

"No one is going to stab me don't worry too much about it <3"

I WON'T LET THEM

"Why would anyone do that?"

"Jealousy?"

"As if."

I KNOW OF ONE VERY JEALOUS PRINCESS WHO I HAVE RECENTLY PISSED OFF- I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HER

"Then why would you be worried about anything???"

i mean i'm not going to die so why does it matter really <3

"Pickpockets, general uncleanliness, disease," he grumbled loudly.

UH

LEVI

YOU'RE ???

"You're absolutely ridiculous Levi."

seriously levi ur so rich one pickpocket isn't going to hurt you at all xoxo

IM EXCITED- YOU KEEP SAYING YOU'RE EXCITED BUT

FINDING IT INCREASINGLY HARD TO BELIEVE

"You're rude Y/N," he groaned sleepily.

"I'm only as rude as you are <3"

"As long as you're enjoying yourself it doesn't really matter how shit the festival is I guess," Levi sighed stretching.

wow

was that supposed to be nice ?

idk im having a very hard time with him right now

not to mention-

he said he was looking forward to it-

so i was excited to do something with him where i wasn't just dragging him around but

:/

"Actually no- you're also supposed to enjoy yourself or what's the point of even going?" I whacked him lightly on his head. "You're going to get busy with work as soon as we get back- so loosen up a bit."

THE TWO OF US ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN

"Y/N-" his voice faltered, "you should forget about the princess, at least for today."

does he feel sorry about dragging me into this?

"I plan to, don't worry about it. If that's what's making you so worried about the festival you should forget it <3 we're going to be in a crowd of people AND we're going undercover, if she somehow shows up we can press charges against her for stalking."

im more invested in this that you are now anyway <3333

"We should get ready soon," he grumbled propping himself up.

definitely-

"It's going to be a little weird going home- I mean what am I going to do in the morning if I'm not talking to you," I sat up, stretching.

sleeping probably

"Whatever will I do now that you aren't bothering me late at night," he rolled his eyes.

RUDE

ACCORDING TO EVERYONE EVER YOU DON'T SLEEP ANYWAY

:///

"Oh don't worry I'll still be a pest <3 that isn't going to change even when we go back to our own rooms <3"

"I wouldn't have it any other way," he laughed dryly.

<3
