Levi

There's exactly 20 minutes until I have to go and pick up Eren. I stare at the clothes I had on in the mirror, inspecting myself. Or so I thought. I would never admit it, but I was actually...nervous. I keep stalling myself, finding something to clean, or changing my clothes. The outfit I currently have on (a black dress shirt, black jeans and a white tie) is my fourth outfit. I shake my head at myself and start to change my clothes yet again, until I get a text.

I walk over to my nightstand where my phone was resting and pick it up to find a text from Eren. I unlock my phone and read the words sent to me.

Bright Eyes:
What should I wear?

'Semi casual'

Bright Eyes:
Mkay see you soon ;)

Who knew a winky face could do so much. My heart started to pound making my situation even worse. I shouldn't have asked him to go on a date with me. This whole wishes thing is stupid anyway. Why did I agree to this again? Oh yeah, to make up for the past.

The past.

The kid hates my guts for what I did back then. What if I screw up again?

I sigh, sitting on my bed. This is going to be a long night.

*•*•*•*

Eren

Hehe. Everything was in place. I grab my backpack, filled with everything that would make this night perfect. I click on my phone to check the time, and see that Levi would be here any minute now. I quickly do a look over of my clothing choice. A deep green coloured dress shirt with a white tie and black skinny jeans. That's semi casual right?

I walk out of my room, down the stairs and wait by the front door. Even though I wasn't really excited, my heart thumped from nervousness. I had no clue what to expect.

It wasn't long before a few knocks were heard and I open the door with a smile. "Hey L-" my words die in my throat when I see what Levi's wearing. I've never seen him in anything like this. Black jeans and shirt, the only white, a crisp white tie. It was definitely a change from his school attire.

He smirks at me, shaking his head. "Ready to go?" I nod and follow him out to his car.
Before opening the passenger door, I pause to ask a question.
"So, where are we going?" Levi doesn't respond.

"Hello?"

"To a restaurant."

"No duh! What restaurant?"

"A good one." I let out a frustrated groan. I decide not to ask anymore questions on the matter since it looked like I was getting no where. I open the door and get into the passenger side of Levi's mustang and he in the driver's.

He sticks the key in the ignition and starts the car, proceeding to drive away from our houses. "So..." I drag on.
"So?"
"What type of food do they serve at the restaurant we're going to?" Levi glances over at me and smirks. "My favourite food. And the best part is, the building itself is on the higher class side. Usually restaurants with good food have crappy buildings. Not this one though."

Does that mean we're going to a carne esada restaurant? Because I've never seen one on our side of town.

"It has to do with carne esada doesn't it?" I raise an eyebrow earning nothing more than a smirk in response. This twenty questions wasn't exactly going in my favour so I give up on trying to figure out anything thing more.

"We're here." The car slows down to a stop as Levi pulls into a parking place.
"Already?! Why didn't we just walk?"

"Like hell I'm walking in this." Levi says, gesturing to his clothes. "Besides, you never know what can happen on a five minute walk. Cars splashing water from the curb, gum getting on your shoes, sandstorms..." Levi gets out of the car, leaving me staring after him. One of those was not like the other...

Guess I should get going too. I let out a nervous breath before grabbing my bag and exiting the car.

As I walk up onto the sidewalk, I look into the restaurant's windows and freeze. "Uh...do you think we're a little...under dressed. This looks a little too expensive for a place selling carne esada."

"Don't worry about it. Plus my friend Mike owns the place, I'm sure he'll be willing to give us a discount."

Hm. I guess thats okay then...

I walk over to where Levi was standing and we both walk toward the front entrance. I suddenly feel warmth wrapping around my hand and look down to see Levi's hand in mine. My eyes widen and I quickly look at him but he continues looking straight, his expression unchanging.

We reach the front entrance and Levi lets go of me to open the door and let me through, before latching his hand back onto mine.

"Hello, and wel-- Levi? What a pleasant surprise. I haven't seen you here in a while."

The very tall blond walks up to us holding two menus. First looking at Levi, he turns to me before leaning in. I back up out of instinct but the taller man still managed to get his face close to my neck. He takes in a deep breath before standing up. The one I presume to be Mike smirks. "Right this way you two."

Levi follows Mike, dragging me behind him as if he hadn't just sniffed my neck and smiled about it.

We follow the...interesting, waiter to a table near the back of the restaurant. "Here's your table."

"Thanks, Mike."

"Would you two like any drinks to start out your date with?"

I have to bite my lip to stop myself from saying we weren't on a date but remember the wish I promised to keep.

"I'll just have a water." I say quietly.
"I'll have le vin rouge." My eyes widen at how smoothly the French words escape his lips. I haven't heard him speak French in years....its definitely something worth getting used to.

"Ah the usual I see? I'll be right back with your drinks." Mike takes his leave and I wait a few moments before initiating step one. "Do you mind if I use the restroom real quick?"

Levi looks up at me from the menu he was staring at. "Go ahead. Go straight then turn right." He lets out a sigh, looking back at his menu.

Standing up out of my chair, I grab my backpack and follow Levi's directions to the restaurant's bathroom. I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous for what I'm about to do...

Going into one of the stalls I pull out my maid outfit from the other night. I don't waste time in putting it on. I inspect myself, making sure all the ribbons are tied, and everything was put on correctly.

Even though I felt like a character straight out of kill la kill, I have to admit, I looked great.

I walk out of the stall only to find someone at the sinks. The man does a double take as he looks at me through  the large bathroom mirror. All I do is send him a wink and a smirk, before walking out of the bathroom with my head held high.

Making only one turn before walking through a space filled with occupied tables, I find the one table Levi was sitting at. "I'm back."

"It's about time. You took for fuc--"
Levi's voice catches as I sit down in my seat across from him. "What was that?" I flutter my eyes innocently.

Levi scowls looking over his shoulder before leaning in close to speak. "What are you doing?"

"What ever do you mean?" I give off a smile. Before he could respond I lean in closer. "You seemed to like this the other night. Don't pretend you're not enjoying yourself...Daddy."

I watch as Levi swallows nervously. I can't help but smirk at the thought of making him speechless.

It was only after a few more beats of silence that he decided to speak up.

"Eren," He whispers, "I think you should change befo--"

"Here are your drinks."
Mike came back right in time. He places down Levi's wine first, then my water. His eyes widen a bit as he sees my clothing and I smirk expecting the worse.

He turns to Levi. Here it comes...
"This one's a keeper. Don't loose him, Levi." He chuckles, then winks at me, leaving without another word.

What.

Just.

Happened?

"Huh?" I say watching Mike's retreating figure.

"What?" Levi asks when he sees my confused look.

"N-Nothing!" This was definitely not nothing! I was expecting Mike to come and kick me out for my attire. Especially in a restaurant like this!

None of my other plans would really work unless I got kicked out by Mike. Shit. My whole plan was relying on this one first step. Hm. Think Eren. What to do, what to do...

"What do you want to eat?" I glance up, being snapped away from my thoughts.

"I'll just have the same as you." I respond automatically. Levi doesn't really put up much of a fight. He just shrugs as a different waiter comes up to ask what we would like to order.

"Eren."

I quickly look up, realising I had spaced out. "After this...do you mind if I ask you something?" I squint my eyes at the boy in front of me.

"Yeah, of course." I answer hesitantly.
Levi seems to relax after my response as he sinks in his seat sightly, a small smile play in on his lips.

This is bad. This 'date' is playing out longer than it was supposed to. Wait...wait a second.

I quickly grab my backpack and pull out my phone. Opening up Armin's contact name I send him a quick text. It was only a matter of seconds before he responded.

He-man:
What time?

Now.

He-man:
On my way.

I stick my phone in the top of my dress. "I'll be right back. I...think I left something in the bathroom."

Levi frowns but nods. "It's fine. I'll wait."

Those words almost had me feeling guilty. Almost. I walk in the same direction I was headed when going to the restroom but turn left instead of right.

To the exit.

I push open the door making sure I'm not spotted by Mike on the way out.
I feel a buzz on my chest and realise it must be a text from Armin. I pull out my phone and read the words across the screen.

He-man:
Here.

I see Armin's Silver Toyota pull up and I run up, swinging the passenger side door open.

"Eren?! W-Why were you dressed like that at a place like this?!"

"Long story. I'll explain on the way."

Armin starts to drive off, but as he starts to pull away from the curb I'm able to catch a glimpse of Levi sitting alone at his table as the waiter brings him our food.
