I would like everyone to remember (or have I even adressed this?) that not all of these drabbles will be in order. After this chapter, they will hop around the relationship.
Guest: Really? I love to reply to my reviews. I thank you again for your review! And trust me, Kanara will get..."presence". She's kind of supposed to be just a normal fangirl in the beginning here but it'll change as we go.
The inside of her tiny home was warm.
He expected it to be freezing because of being so far up North. But there was already a fire going in the small living room just to his right and he examined it while Kanara shuffled around her kitchen.
When she noticed he hadn't moved, she chuckled a little, her cheeks heating when he turned to her. "Sorry," she muttered, balancing two cups in her hands. "My friend Lois must of came by earlier so I wouldn't have to work so hard."
He didn't care.
"That is very thoughtful," he muttered.
She hesitated for a moment and then pulled out a chair from her small kitchen; everything in this house so fucking tiny. "Take a seat."
He did without hesitation or speaking, staring at the table top in silence. He listened to water run, boil, fire crackling. He heard that damn cat growling under the table and wanted to give it the boot. What was the damn things problem? He hadn't given it any reason to hate him like this.
"I'm sorry for the incident at the hospital," she muttered, setting a cup of steaming tea in front of him; it smelt like mint. "I wasn't...all the way there when I made the request."
He grunted, plucking up the cup by the rim. "I figured as much," the tea was exceptional.
"I really hated my decision," she dug her fingers into her bangs and looked up at him from under her brow. "But then you showed up out there...were you following me?"
He hesitated with his lips on the rim of the cup. Should he admit that he was? He didn't want to, it just sounded like he was some stalker. Of course, since he had already followed her, he supposed he had already crossed the line.
"No," he spoke gruffly. "I had been patrolling. Finding you was a simple...fluke."
That was a painful answer.
She nodded and then grimaced as Mori hissed. "Mori, dammit stop. He's a guest!"
It almost made him chuckle at how flustered she got. The cat meowed and then waddled out from under the table, headed for the living room. No doubt to curl up in front of the fire. Kanara sighed and Levi returned his attention to her. As she lifted her cup to her lips, his lips twitched in the corners.
She held the cup just like him.
