Chapter 06
"God, this is delicious!" Eren moans as he savor the rich taste of the dish.
"Really? Do you think my cooking can compete with city's taste?" Christa, asked anxiously. She's daughter of the owners of the restaurant and vine yard. The little Omega is also planning on taking over the restaurant, studying cooking with her mother on the kitchen as well as making her own recipe.
"I don't see a competition, you won it all!" The Alpha exclaimed.
"T-Thank you!" The girl beamed before taking her leave.
Levi smiles, recalling the time when Christa offered him her very own cookie recipe. The girl hardly understand that she is a great cook, always anxious and sometimes scared to let everyone taste her creations. Now, Levi noticed that she is coming out of her shell. She offered her own recipe to Eren who is a total stranger and probably taste a lot of good food from where he came from.
"I know." Levi wholeheartedly agreed. He is so happy today. His uncle is finally letting him some time alone with Eren and the ilder Alpha didn't smite the brunette much compare to before. Kenny did join them on the restaurant, but he choose to eat and drink wine with his friends on the balcony. Though, Levi can for see his uncle got drunk on wine mainly due to the raven's confession at afternoon.
"Another thing is the fresh ingredients, you don't see that everyday on the city."
"Pfft! What do you eat then? Canned?" Levi humored, taking another bite on his meal.
"Usually, fresh vegetables are much harder to come by. And they are expensive." Eren pointed out. "And you don't get a cute chief who actually cooks like magic."
Levi hand stilled on his plate. In front of him Eren kept talking but he didn't grasped any of it. All he can think about is who the Alpha thought that Christa is cute. Cute?! Cute?!
Clearing his throat, Levi reached out for his water, because of his own clumsyness and limited vision, he knock off the glass, shattering as it hits the floor.
Levi frozed.
"Levi are you okay?" Eren took his hand and put his own glass of water. "Here."
"I-I'm s-sorry." Levi whispered suddenly feeling ashamed of himself.
"It's fine! No harm done!" Crista immediately came and cleaned upthe mess
"Levi, listen. You can drink my water. Slowly, okay." Eren instructed.
Levi nodded and did as instructed. Lettibg the cool water down on his throat and also let it cool his head. "Thanks... I feel so stupid."
"It was an accident. Crista knew you didn't mean it." Eren reassured.
No, I feel stupid of thinking such things. Levi muttered internally. Of course, there are a lot of better Omegas in town, ones that doesn't have sight issues. Eren had the right to pick a proper mate. Still the thought still hurts. All his anxiety came back rushing to him.
"Yeah, I just..." Levi stared at Eren's blurry figure for a while, realizing that he shouldn't be worried about Chrsita.
Eren is genuinely scared. Levi can smell and feel the emotions through the Alpha's scent. Thankfully helped calming his possessive Omega instincts. "I'm fine. Just need some water.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Thank you." he added shyly.
"Okay."
They both eat and enjoy their food silently. The night is still early for dancing that they decided to relax and converse with other people on the restaurant. Mikasa, Levi's cousin approached them with a blank face. Immediately the little Omega can sense the musky Alpha scent of his cousin.
"Mikasa! Oh, Eren this is Mikasa, she's my cousin." Levi introduced.
"Hello." Mikasa said flatly. Instead of looking at the person she was introduced, the focused on her cousin.
"Hi." Eren offered awkwardly.
"Levi?"
"Yeah?" he perked up but deep inside he knew what's coming.
"Can we talk for a sec?"
"Sure." Levi stand on his chair. "I'll be back." He said to the Alpha before following his cousin to the back.
When he shut the door behind him, Levi glared at raven girl. "I know so, shut up."
"Hmmmm."
"What do you want?!"
"Nothing, its nice to see you this way." Mikasa smiled but of course, Levi barely see it. Though, he simply knew from the other raven's tone and light scent.
Levi envied Mikasa so much. Another thing is that she doesn't have any complications on her vision but because she is born as an Alpha. And Alphas were fast healers. When Levi was young he hated her for being an Alpha and tried to act and be like one, hoping that his genses will switch. Unfortunately, it never happened, he remained an Omega but he still hardly wore dressess. But when a certain brunete stumble on their farm.
Huffing, Levi just hummed in approval.
"You look good with that top."
"Pfft! Now you are just messing up with me."
"Nope, you look really good." Levi felt a soft punch on his shoulder. "And that doctor is hot."
"Don't you dare!" Levi swatted her hand. It is not uncommon to find both Alphas togather. "There are plenty of Omegas in town that I have to fucking fight off, please, don't add on my list of problems!"
"Now that's my cousin." Mikasa chuckles. "But. Please, Levi."
"What?" Levi snapped out of frustration.
"Just be yourself. When you're with him. " Mikasa took his hand on her.
Feeling the weight of his cousin hand, Levi exhale and nodded.
They went back inside with their hands link, which is not just Mikasa giving her cousin guidance but also showing her support. She knew Levi all her life, she can literally read him like a book. It's not a hard to tell that Levi really likes the washed up doctor, the little Omega is acting all soft and innocent with his flowing dressess and high pitched giggles. Which he is completely NOT. But Mikasa is so thankful for everyone in town to not expose his cousin. If there is someone, she will not think twice on cutting their lives.
Levi came back to his table, surprise to smell and hear Connie's and Sasha's voices. They're were casually talking and laughing with Eren, and he can sense that the said Alpha is having a great time.
"I think you can handle from here." Mikasa let go of his hand, patting his head before taking her leave.
"Thanks." Levi whispered.
Then an up beat music started to play on the jukebox. People started cheering and going to the dance floor. Levi loved the atmosphere, that is why he always visited and eat dinner in the restaurant every monday with his uncle. He is not a good dancer due to his limited vision but he practiced with Hange this afternoon. Right now, he knew Hange is present at the restaurant but he asked her to lay low and let Levi to handle it. Though they both have hidden signal (which Hange insisted) if someone came up.
Suddenly, somebody gently took his hand. Levi almost let out a deadly growl but it died shortly when Eren's familiar scent surrounds him.
"Let's dance?" Eren is already jumping on his heels. Like a child ready to play.
"Sure." Levi giggles, this time he is not acting.
On the far side of the restaurant, one can hardly see the single table that was set a side. Their sat a certain blonde Alpha, glaring at the dance floor. Specifically on the cast away doctor.
"Erwin, what are you doing in the corner?" Armin Arlet asked, this is his spot and everyone knows it, he ate dinner here then he peacefully read his books after while his parents drink wine together. Now, it's a shock to see some like Erwin Smith to occupy his spot.
"I'm sorry. There's a lot of things on my head right now." Erwin forced a smile.
"Really? If you want to talk about it. I'm here." Armin dragged another stool and sat in front of the huge Alpha.
"Well, what do you think of the 'Doctor'in town?"
"You mean Eren?" Armin gestured on the said Alpha. He's on the dance floor, smiling happily at the awkward raven on his arms.
"Don't you think he's a little bit suspicious?"
"I don't think so?" Armin lean back on his chair. "Is this about Levi?"
It is not a mystery to Armin that Erwin had brother complex to the said Omega. "Erwin, I know you care for your best friend. But I believe that he can handle himself quite perfectly." Armin pointed out. He hates Alphas who new better, like what Erwin is doing now.
"Still, I can't let that bastard ruined Levi. What happens when he's not a real doctor and just giving Levi false hope?"
That one had taken Armin aback. Sure, Eren was a little suspicious but one can smell how genuine the young Alpha was. He is not that close to Levi mainly because of the raven's attitude but seeing Levi now, wearing a dress, trying to be soft and innocent is quite adorable. Armin can write a romance book with this.
But first things first. He had to at least inform Levi about his "best friend".
