Other boyfriends bring candies and flowers of all kinds. They drown their loved one with jewels and any trinket they can get their hands on. The calender says that today is supposed to be dedicated to romance, so they are determined to make them feel like royalty.
But Levi is not one of those boyfriends, and he never claimed to be. He knows he is probably the least romantic person around, but by some miracle of God, Petra doesn't seem to mind. He's not one to be too overly-sensitive about this trait, he is what he is. Still some nights he wonders if it is enough for someone so bright and animated as Petra.
So while every good partner is wooing their love, Levi and Petra cave into the lovey-dovey mood and end up watching Beauty and the Beast together. It's and old favorite of her's and he can take icy feet, stolen covers, and annoyingly catchy songs if it means getting to see her happy and comfortable.
"It's been a long time since I saw you smile," A stupid observation, but the warm grin that settled on her face at the return of such familiar characters is too good to pass up.
"It has?" Hazel eyes are torn away from the screen and meet his. "Sorry, work has just been super stressful."
"It's nothing to apologize for. You're not a doll meant to always be perky and cheery. "
"I know," Petra curled up further into his side. "I guess I'm just trying to say thanks," She leaned up and peaked his cheek. "I really needed this today."
Levi knows he is not one of those romantic boyfriends Petra deserves, but for a moment, he relishes in the fact that he did good.
