Chapter 5
Eren collapse on the rocking chair after a day of laborious work. His body ache all over from all the plowing and he can feel a migraine coming from the heat. He slowly rock the chair, giving his whole body some rest. Eren was glad to found the rocking chair on the porch where he can feel the cool breeze and looked at his work from afar. It is not as good as Kenny's but the older Alpha approves it. His eyelids suddenly felt heavy.
"Oh, looks who needs some medical attention now," Hange poked her head on the doorway.
Eren pulled himself out of sleep and smiled at the beta on the door. "Hi, Hange."
"What do you mean medical attention?" Levi followed suit, when he recognized the Alpha's scent on the porch, he rushed to him almost tripping on his own feet. "Eren are you hurt?"
"No, I'm okay just a little tired. That's all. Are you hurt? You almost tripped." Eren inspect the Omega's feet, almost going to doctor mode but he paused when Levi placed his hand on his shoulder and forced him back on the chair.
"I'm fine. No harm done."
"I think a nap will fix you up," Hange inquire as she steps out of the porch, giving the two some privacy. "Bye, guys! See you at Crista's!"
They said their goodbyes and Hange was off with her horse.
Levi turned to Eren, placing the back of his hand on the Alpha's forehead. He can smell the Alpha's tiredness all over and it's been bothering him. He should have stopped his uncle no matter how much Eren opposed.
"Thanks, but I'm sure I'm not sick." Eren chuckled.
"If you're not feeling well, we can go to Crysta's some other time."
"Levi, I'm fine. I want to go anyway and meet all of the people properly. Maybe I should follow what Hange suggest. I'm an Alpha after all, my body will fix his own."
"Still, you can get sick." Levi pouted and Eren can't help his heart's strings being pulled at the cute sight.
"I'm a doctor, Levi. I'll just take a nap." Eren smiled, reaching out he messed those silky midnight strands.
"Okay, I'll tell uncle that you had enough." Levi giggle and messed Eren's hair in return, not minding the sweat at all. He blinked, gazing at Eren's blurry figure on the chair. After a few seconds he could hear the young Alpha's gentle snoring peacefully.
Sitting on the floor, Levi rested his head on the sleeping Alpha's knees. Gazing still on Eren, he wonders what the Alpha really looked like. Levi can make up the sun-skin, the chocolate hair, the eyes... That is his not sure of but he thinks it will be beautiful. Reaching out, he gently cups the other's face, careful not to wake him up. He trace his fingers on his cheeks bones, his nose, his lips, as he tries to build an image on his mind.
"Levi..."
Levi heard his uncle loud and clear but he didn't move. He not ashamed of what he is doing. He wanted to know what Eren really looked like, he wanted to know Eren in general. He wanted more.
"Hmmm?"
"Levi don't tell me..."
"I'm telling you right now uncle. Eren's a good guy, he smells nice and..." He paused. Trying to find the right word to describe what he feels for his uncle can understand.
"I want Eren."
Levi reached as far as he can but his hands were too short to reach the zip. Huffing, the Omega gave up. He promised himself that whatever happens, he can't fuck up today but now he is thinking twice. Should he wear a different dress?
Levi glance at the open window, the sky still have a tinge of fuzzy yellows in them, showing the the sun is already setting. The glance turned into a stare, Levi watched as the colors slowly mix. He loved looking at the sunset, even when he can't fully appreciate the view but he admire the hues of color. The bright yellow, the dark purples, sometimes Levi spots a few pinks.
"Levi?" Kenny knocked.
Levi spun around to the closed door. Panic creep through his spine, he is not ready yet. "I'll be out in about!"
The Omega rushed through his clothes, finding something easy to wear and also suitable for a dinner and dancing. Levi hopped through his shoes, when he bend over he felt the cool breeze brushed on his skin on his back.
"Just great," he mumbled as he went to the mirror and studies the fuzzy colors, hands running through the fabric as he tried to remember what article it is. It feels like a corset with all the boning and how it sintched up his waist. Running his fingers on the neckline, it had a sweetheart neckline with off the shoulders sleeves, it had some laces all ready on their respective holes, all neatly tied in a criss-cross. The front is only an illusion because it had a fucking zip at the back.
Now Levi remembered that Sasha gave this to him. The girl described it as a cowboy style/hunting top. She puts the zip in the back so Levi won't have any troubles with the laces on the front.
Stepping back, he inspected the colors of his full look on the mirror. The top is red and it looked like his skirt complement well.
Again, he tried to reach the zip. "Come on..."
"Levi?" Another knock but it was softer than the first one. "It's Eren."
"Yeah?" Levi stretch his hand as far as he can. He can smell Eren's scent as it seeps under the gap of the door. He can't fuck this night now.
"Kenny said I should check on you. Is everything okay?"
Levi withdraw his tired hand. Huffing, he turned to the door. Maybe Eren can help. "Eren, perfect timing. I need your help."
Holding his top securely, he opened the door.
"What is it-" Eren paused and looked away. But he can't hide the blushed that is now creeping on his face.
"Can you zip this up for me? I can't reach it." Levi smirked. He had no idea why but he like challenging Eren with these type of things.
"S-Sure."
Giggling, Levi turn his back on Eren. He heard the Alpha took a deep gulp before proceeding on the zip. When his knuckles touched Levi's back, the Omega almost jump. Gosh, Eren's hands were cold! Is he that nervous? Levi kept the words to himself and giggled instead.
"I'm sorry!" Eren quickly supplies.
Levi's giggles turned into chuckles. He found this so cute! Eren is cute!
Eren quickly finished the zip and took a step back, so much on Levi's dismay but he can deal with it. Eren is so cute when he trird to help, now Levi can't stop thinking what Eren will be if he is taking the zip off, like helping him strip? Levi covers the grin that threatens to form in his lips at the thought. Eren must be hot as hell!
"Ahhh... There!" Eren awkwardly rubbed his nape.
"Thank you." Levi regain his composer. "Can you hold my hand?"
"Ummm..." Eren said sheeply.
"I'm need help with these boots." Levi giggled.
"Oh, of course!" Eren gently took his hand on his.
"Thank you." This time, Levi felt the heat on his cheeks. Now he didn't know who's face was redder.
He worked with his shoes quietly, enjoying the heat from the Alpha's hand. Eren is a freaken furnice, all warm and fuzzy.
"Oh," Levi stopped, noticing something on his shoes.
"What is it?" Eren asked leaning in and looking down at the said shoes.
"It had laces..." Levi remembered these shoes. They are comfortable, very suitable for dancing but he remembered that he washed them and took the laces off. And now they are undone. "I'll just fix it."
"No, I'll do it."
"But-"
Without another word, Eren went on down on one knee and tied the laces. Levi, in the other hand is not doing well, he felt the heat on his face spread through his ears and down on his neck. He seen this before, this what Alpha's do when they proposed for marriage. Levi stared down at the Alpha, imagining Eren pulling a ring for him. Offering his trust, his life, his love on him.
When Eren looked up at him, Levi can't see him so well but he can feel the Alpha. His genuine smile, his calming scent, his positive aura. Levi can feel his heart warms. "And done!"
"Thank you." Levi smiled at him.
"Wow, now that I'm looking at you. Levi you look amazing!"
Levi's smile grew wider, he gaze at the Alpha's clothing. He can't see it well but, he like the colors that the Alpha picked. It complements his skin. "Even I can't see well, I know that you looked beautiful no matter what you wear."
"Geez, thanks. I should be the one saying that to you." Eren sheeply rubbed his nape.
Levi just giggled and hooked his arm on Eren's. "Ready?"
"Yep!"
And they left the house, ridding a carraige this time with Kenny as there coach. Through out the ride, Levi was leaning on Eren, arms still hook on the other. The warms feeling spread on his chest as he feel the sweet pitter patter of his heart.
