It was around 10 pm when you decided that you wanted to practice outside, in the park that was close to your flat. You look through the window and see that the basketball court was empty. Mikasa was already asleep after a long day of carrying things from your old apartment to your current home.
You started to play the same song that you performed earlier, at the audition. As you were playing you hear some footsteps and a beat, probably made by a basketball. You continue to play until you finish your song, then you turn around to see that the boy with the basketball has stopped and was listening to your performance.
He was looking very familiar, raven black hair, styled in an undercut and steely gray eyes, just like Mikasa's. He turned around and trew the ball right through the basketball hoop, then he did that again, and again.
You found it pretty entertaining,what you enjoyed most was the sound that his sneakers made, when they came in contact with the concrete floor. You started to keep the score of how many times the ball passed through the net, until eventually you gave up because the guy never missed.
"You are very talented!"
"Thanks", he said that in a deep and calm tone. "I can say the same thing about you."
"Really? Thank you."
"Yeah..."
"Are you a basketball player? you asked him a little bit unsure how he will react to the question. You also noticed that he wasn't very tall but still you were shorter than him.
You waited for his answer while you watched him score another point.
"Yes. I want to become a pro, so I need to train hard and become stronger."
"Wow, that sounds great. I bet you have a lot of fans!"
"Tch. Actually I don't have any." A sad expression haunted him. "I'm not that popular, that's another reason why I need to train."
"But you skills are great, how come they don't notice you?"
"Look, my team lost the final game yestarday because of me. Because I suck at teamwork."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
"Whatever, you don't need to pretend that you are sorry, just to make me feel better. You're just a stranger in a park, I'll probably never see you again so-."
"Then, I'll be your first fan!" You said that impulsively.
Shock and then amusement replaced the haunted look in his eyes.
"Tch. Fine." He started to come closer to you. He stopped at an arm lenght then he bent his arms and placed one of his clenched fist over his heart.
You looked at him trying to get a clue of what he wanted to say. You decided to do the same thing.
"This is what my team does before every game. We encourage each other to give our best in order to win the match."
"So, you want to say that we should give our best in order to make our dreams come real."
"Exactly."
Somehow he made you feel much better about yourself, giving you the courage that some day, your dream of becoming a well known guitarist will come true.
"Well, stranger, train hard until I see you again."
"You too, stranger" he said while he trew the ball through the net again.
" That's unimaginable. You can score from every position?"
"Probably" he said that while a smirk replaced the serious expression he was wearing.
"I bet you can't score blindfolded", you said in an amused tone.
"Is that a challenge?" he replyed in his deep and sexy voice.
"Maybe." You said while you thanked that it was pretty dark outside so that he couldn't see that you were blushing.
"And what do I get if I win?"
"I don't know...what do you want?"
"Well, can you come and see me playing in the next game?"
"Ok, and if you lose, you'll buy me chocolate."
"Deal."
You gather your things and start to leave. Suddenly you feel that his arm is clenched around your wrist. You turn around and your (colour) eyes lock with his gray eyes.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask for your name."
"Oh..I'm _ ."
"Levi."
"Well, Levi it was nice talking to you. See ya'!"
"Yeah..."
You head upstairs and when you open the entrance door to your apartment a worried Mikasa jumps and locks you into a deadly hug that has no escape.
"_ ! Where the hell have you been?! I woke up and when I went to your room you weren't there. You didn't take your phone with you. Don't tell me that Erwin or that fucking boyfriend of yours called you to meet with them at this hour. I'll beat the shit out of them if they woke you up.! Are you alright? You took your guitar with you! Don't tell me that you were planing to leave me! Or that I snore when I'm asleep.
_, say something!"
" Wow! Easy, Mikasa. Chillax. I'm not going anywhere. I couldn't sleep so I went outside and I took my guitar with me because I didn't want to wake you up while I was practicing. Awww, and I'm not leaving you, dum dum. You clench your arms around her and lock her in a tight hug, which makes her hug you thighter.
"Can't...breathe!"
"Oh sorry!"
"Plus, you don't snore. Sorry for making you worry."
"You should be. Now go to bed. You need to rest cause tomorrow you've got a date with Mr. Handsome."
"Eh, I forgot!"
"How can you forgot such thing?!"
"I don't know, maybe I shouldn't go..."
"No! You are going!"
"Fine..."
"Bed. Now."
"Yes, Ma'am!"
