"When you leave on your trip you should kidnap some kids-"

you jest but i already miss those two

"Any preference in what they look like?" Levi rolled his eyes at me.

"Oh well- I'd prefer it if you weren't stealing them away from their families so like? If you stumble across a dilapidated orphanage-"

IM NOT TOTALLY INHUMANE <3

"Wouldn't it be better if we went together in that case?"

"We could make a whole date out of it <3"

"We're awful people," Levi sighed, laughing.

YEAH WE ARE BESTIE <3

"Hey- at least we know it."

this is what money and power does to a hot sexy pretend couple <3

"It wouldn't even be possible to begin with- I think adopting children is definitely something that a certain princess would get pissed at us for."

100%

"You could use it against her- 'Levi loves me despite my infertility~'"

YOU'RE SCARING ME LEVI

"Maybe you should just pretend to be me every time I have an important event- you're better at this than I am," I hummed glancing around at the shops we were passing.

"I would die."

OK DRAMA QUEEN

"Last time I checked vampires died from sunlight and a stake through the heart, not tea parties <3 you would do just fine."

next time he should come with me- we would be unstoppable

"Are you interested in going in there?" Levi asked motioning to a shop I had been staring at.

I WAS JUST ZONING OUT-

"I was just looking at that suit in the window," I muttered turning back to face him- "let's keep on walking, I want to see the rest of the city."

he would look really good in that-

maybe i'll ask petra or kuchel to buy it?

OH! I CAN GET HIM A GIFT BEFORE HE LEAVES!

"Follow me then," Levi started walking towards a wide open park. Couples strolled together down paved paths dotted with trees, fountains, and sculptures.

wow-

the city is magnificent

but this looks like a garden you could find in the palace

"Later tonight- they'll light up this place, I believe there will be dancing," Levi glanced down at me smiling softly as I looked around in awe.

i'm so happy we got to do this-

"Can we?" I looked up at him.

IF YOU SAY NO IM GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU LOUDLY IN THIS VERY PUBLIC SPACE

I HAVE NO FEAR

I WANT TO GO DANCING UNDER THE STARS .

"We-" Levi hesitated.

://///

"I'm not saying that I'll divorce you over this but <3 you promised me the full festival experience <3333"

BESIDES

im sure you've never done this before

it would be fun

"Maybe not here but- I know a better place," Levi murmured- staring out over the park.

oh

"If it's home I'm going to-"

"No it's just- more private," he cut me off, "you can lose the cloak if you want. If you're dancing you're going to want to be free right?"

levi

you

what would i do without you?

"You're going to dance with me," I hummed squeezing his hand.

"Fuck no."

"You don't get a choice Levi- it would be weird if I was just dancing alone."

I WOULD FEEL SO AWKWARD

IMAGINE IF HE WAS JUST WATCHING

THATS EMBARRASSING

"If you insist," he pulled on the hood of his cloak hiding his face.

well if you hate it that much-

"Have you ever actually danced before?" I asked peering under his hood.

HES BLUSHING

HAS HE NOT ??

ITS OK LEVI I HAVENT REALLY EITHER

"Of course I have, I'm nobility," he frowned, batting me away.

ITS OK IF YOU HAVENT

"I'm a princess and I've never seriously danced before- it's ok if you haven't <3"

OR IF YOU'RE JUST BAD AT DANCING

I CAN SEE HIM BEING BAD

ITS OK LEVI IM NOT GREAT EITHER <33333

"You haven't danced before?" Levi's eyes widened in shock.

well yeah-

at least i haven't danced at a real ball or anything, but it's never really come up so there's never been any need to worry about it.

not that i can't dance- i was just never formally taught by anyone

and i was never asked by anyone to dance at any of the events i went to because i hadn't properly debuted in society

BUT I DON'T COMPLETELY LACK RHYTHM <3

"Not really- but I'm probably better than you <3"

"Bullshit, I'd like to see you try."

"YOU WILL!"

"You're going to be stepping on my feet," Levi grumbled under his breath.

:////////////////

"If I do you will have probably deserved it <3"

everything i do is good

ive never made a mistake in my life

so true y/n (:

"Should we go to dinner?"

HAS THAT MUCH TIME PASSED ???

"I feel like we were just eating at the fountain," I murmured kicking at the ground as we walked to the restaurant Levi had made reservations at.

i wonder what kind of place he made reservations at-

ARE WE GOING TO DO DINNER WITH OUR HOODS UP ??

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK SO WEIRD .

"The sun is already setting," Levi stared out towards the horizon, "we still need to go dancing after this."

"I'm excited."

maybe even more than i was for the rest of today

"I'm glad."

"Should we eat now?"

"That's what I've been saying," he laughed, smiling and leading me inside.

i'm excited-
