I woke up with a start to the sound of commotion from outside the door.

"-et me in!" I caught the end of someone's sentence, rolling over to my side to look at Levi.

at least someone is sleeping

He continued to rest quietly, one arm still draped over me.

seriously someone is lying about his insomnia

"The Duke is still asleep," a voice, Kuchels, responded.

that's for sure

"You and I both know that's not the case-" the first voice this time unmistakably Eren responded.

i hate 2 break it 2 you but levi sleeps a lot

"You can see him when he wakes up," Kuchel stated, "please return to your quarters.

MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN LEVI .

YOU WOKE UP THE SEXIEST PERSON IN THE HOUSE ??

PLS SUBMIT A FORMAL APOLOGY

"You can't stop me- I don't know what that girl told you but you of all people shouldn't believe it," Eren grumbled indignantly.

you just woke up 'that girl'

"The Duchess is extremely trustworthy."

"As if I'd believe that-"

OK ENOUGH

YOU CAN BULLY ME

IF YOU TOUCH KUCHEL YOU'LL GET HELL FROM ME

I sat up moving Levi's arm off of me, being careful not to disturb him, before walking towards the door, the warmth of his embrace quickly fading.

it's practically a rite of passage in this household 2 catch me walking around in my pajamas </3

"What's this about?" I asked, stepping out into the hall. Kuchel stood in front of the door, Eren and his attendants stood across from her attempting to enter the room.

DID YOU DO ANYTHING TO HER ???

IM SORRY HOT KNIGHT LADY BUT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FORGIVE YOU

EVEN IF YOU HAVE PRETTY PRIVILEGE

"You even took his room?" Eren snapped, his frown deepening in anger.

WHOA

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A CRIME TO SLEEP WITH MY HUSBAND

THE HORROR

"Took is a bit harsh," I frowned, rubbing the last of the sleep out of my eyes. "What are you here for?"

the h*sband is sleeping so all complaints will have to wait 2-3 business days

"Forget it, I don't have to talk to you," he scowled, "take me to the Duke."

HES ASLEEP

LIKE RLLY ASLEEP RN

PLUS I'M PRETTY SURE HE'S ONE OF THOSE PPL WHO GETS FLUSTERED WHEN HE'S CAUGHT BEING COMFORTABLE

HE'S WAY TOO UPTIGHT

FR

"He's asleep."

"Bullshit."

"Why would I lie about that?"

"Because you're-"

I PROMISE I'M NOT THE WITCH YOU THINK I AM

I'M HONESTLY NOT THAT BAD

IF YOU WOULD STOP HARASSING ME WE COULD GET ALONG- AT THE VERY LEAST I COULD BE FRIENDS WITH YOUR ATTENDANTS

"I'll send him your way when he wakes up," I sighed, pulling my shawl closer around my shoulders.

"There's no reason why I can't see him now."

"He's aslee-"

"Who's asleep?" A low voice cut me off, followed by the sound of the door opening behind me and the feeling of Levi's arms resting comfortably around my waist.

HUH

WAIT

HOLD ON

"See!" Eren declared triumphantly, "I knew you were hiding him."

HE REALLY WAS ASLEEP

LEVI UR MAKING IT EVEN HARDER FOR ME TO SEDUCE HIS HOT KNIGHT ATTENDANT

STARTING TO THINK THAT YOU DON'T EVEN LOVE ME

"I wasn't hiding anyone," I scowled, turning around to face Levi. He was fully dressed in his usual outfit; his slightly disheveled hair was the only thing that gave away the fact that he had been sound asleep a few minutes ago.

HOW DID YOU CHANGE SO FAST WTF WTF WTF

"You don't have to pretend to be a couple," Eren laughed, glancing at Levi's arm still comfortably pulling me into an embrace.

.....

i hate 2 break it 2 u but

we're in l*ve

GROSS IK

but it's true

"Forgive me but I've been away for two months," Levi sighed, tightening his grip, "I apologize if this is uncomfortable for you but I missed my wife."

UH

"Levi-" I murmured under my breath, I could feel heat rising to my cheeks.

WHAT GOT INTO YOU

"You-" Eren stammered.

IM SO SORRY

I HATE YOU BUT IM SORRY

THIS IS AWKWARD FOR ME TOO

"Contrary to popular belief we're a happy couple," Levi's hand moved from my waist to my head, turning it to face him. "Isn't that right Y/N?"

UHH

YES

WELL I ACTUALLY HAVE A COUPLE PROBLEMS WITH YOU AND I WOULD LEAVE YOU FOR HANJI BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT

"Hmm, maybe if my husband would stop leaving me alone I would be happier," I frowned jokingly, before breaking out into a wide smile. "Of course I'm happy."

"How will I live with myself," he responded dryly, his smile matching mine.

i don't know-

you might have to repent by taking me with you next time

or better yet not going <33

"You-" Eren looked dejected.

i almost feel bad .

NOT RLLY THO LOL

listen eren you can deal with us being happy- it's not even your relationship to meddle with

"The Prince wanted to have a meeting with you," Armin broke through the tense silence, his eyes glued to the two of us in slight confusion.

DON'T TELL ME THAT EVERYONE IS PRAYING FOR OUR DOWNFALL

"Alright," Levi glanced down at me, shooting me a reassuring look. "let's talk in my office."

YOU'RE LEAVING ME ???

WITH A WOMAN WHO HATES ME (WHO IS VERY ATTRACTIVE)

AND A MAN WHO IDK ?? WHAT IS ARMIN'S DEAL .

"Ku-" I turned to look for Kuchel only to realize that she was gone.

WTF WTF WTF

ABANDONED

IN MY OWN HOME

"Armin, Mikasa, wait outside," Eren shot the two of them a glance, following after Levi.

........

uh

just the three of us i guess <3

"Do you two want to join me for tea?" I asked in a pitiful attempt to break through the icy atmosphere of the group.

erhm

im too nosy to just go away and not wait for them to finish

BUT THIS IS PAINFUL

"We have to stay here," Mikasa stated, moving to stand guard in front of the office doors.

right-

you two don't like me, do you?
