Note : So, this is going to be a series of one shots that jumps back and forth. This one happened before the events in the first chapter.
It was their wedding anniversary.
Levi imagined a passionate night. The two cockblockers settled away in their grandpop's or Gran-gran Kuchel's. He even bought her a new lingerie. It feels too fucking long since the last time he has any serious super intense night with his lovely wife, not just a hurried quickie in the mornings. And of course without any interruption from those two little devils.
Petra imagined a simple, but romantic night. Her husband was a little allergic to the world 'romantic', though. But what she wanted was not some sappy candle light dinner or anything like that! She imagined them, laying on the rooftop of the apartment (and of course under them was a blanket, he was such a clean freak, after all). They would just lay there in silence, staring at the constellations. Comfortable silence lingered around them, sometimes she would break it with some light conversation.
But the night was not quite like they imagined.
First, Grandpop and Gran-gran Kuchel was not available.
"Sorry, Petra. I have a business trip that night. But, I wish you and Levi have a happy anniversary!" -Grandpop Ral
"Hoo, I know what you mean, Lev. But I already booked a flight to visit Isabel, baby" -Gran gran Kuchel
Passionate night : failed.
Second, it was raining. Heavily.
Stargazing : failed.
Last (and worst), both of the boys are sick. It's not that bad, just a little fever, but enough to make them more cranky. And to keep their mom worried and busy she hadn't cook dinner.
So instead of a romantic dinner, they went to a simple diner on the ground floor of their apartment. Despite being siblings, the boys had a very different respond of being sick. Leo was still his active self, - he even become more active – while Liam was being more clingy and enervate. He refused to get off of his mother even though she already told him 'you're already gotten so big and heavy'.
They sat around a simple wooden table. The diner is quite busy, they got a table near the we know where they can hear and watch the rain . Petra sat with Liam in her lap, she was trying to convince the 3 years old toddler to eat . On the other side was Leo and Levi – who was busy telling his first son to eat cleanly, don't make a mess.
"Quit stirring your fu-food, Leo. It's spilling everywhere!" Levi gritted his teeth, he almost swear in front of the kids, and he's pretty sure if he does his wife will scold him and growled, "Language!" It hurts his pride in front of his boys. And he fucking hated it. A dad have to look cool all the time. Especially him. Especially when his kids are shitty smartasses that could always point out his mistakes.
"But daddy, you can't tell me what to do! I'm already six now! I'm a grown up!"
"You just turned six yesterday! You're not grown up yet."
"Then Daddy's not grown up to! Daddy's so small compared to Uncle Erwin!"
Okay that's it. Levi 'tch'ed, realizing there's no point to keep arguing with this annoying and uncontested (but still his) brat. Instead he called a waiter and asked him for some napkins. The spilled soup annoyed him to no end. He really should've been in the clean bed with Petra.
Meanwhile, finally Petra succeed making Liam eat his first food. He was chewing the food lazily while leaning to his mother's chest. Suddenly, something caught his eyes from outside the window. He know he can't talk and eat at the same time, so he patted his mother's thigh and pointed to the weird sight.
"What is it, honey?" She looked up, wondering what caught the boy's attention.
There, in the middle of the heavy rain, not far from the diner's window ; a man kneel in front of a woman. His hand was holding something, and the woman covered her face, then nodded vigorously.
"I think that man's proposing the woman" Leo answered with much confidence.
Now Liam already swallowed his food, "Why?"
His brother answered again, he looked as if he was some kind of professor who performed a great research about it, "It's because he love her and want to life with her forever."
Liam furrowed his little brows, thinking with such -,
"Can I propose mommy, then?" he asked thoughtfully.
And suddenly Petra feels like the luckiest woman alive.
Happiness warmed her from within her heart she felt like she was floating. She embraced her youngest as tight as she can, while kissing the top of his head. There's no more any trace of her disappointment of messed up anniversary night. Really. Liam was waay better than Lev anyway. At least he said sweet things.
"Aww, you're soo sweet!" Mommy loves you soo much!"
On the other side of the table, both Leo and Levi has a frown in their faces. Leo was in deep thought, "That's right, can Liam propose mommy?"
"No he can't. Nobody can propose her." Levi stated solemnly.
The 3 years old toddler (who was struggling to get off his mother's grip) protested, "Why? I love mommy!"
"Because I did it first."
"Really? I don't see it."
"OFCOURSE YOU DON'T"
"Why?"
I kinda use a new writing style. Review?
