Daisy
"Hey now… I happen to be enormously fond of that child's father." Shifting closer, she tapped him on the nose, "You better be nice to him."
Squinching his features, Levi let himself smile lightly. "Oh, and what if I'm not?" He teased, musing to himself as he stroked his chin like a dim witted villain.
"Hmm…" Arms draping over his shoulders, she shrugged her own, "You'll incur my wrath. I'm quite scary, remember?"
Humming, Levi's arm looped around her waist. He smirked at her teasingly. "You are the most terrifying woman, buttercup. No one can match."
"Damn straight." Sinking into him, she pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose, "Which is why you're lucky I like you so damn much."
"I would hate to see what you would be like if you didn't." He teased, hesitantly leaning down to press a chaste kiss to her neck. "I'm sure I'd be begging for mercy."
"Oh, ho…" She half-purred, head tipping just slightly, "You have no idea. I've been told I'm… ruthless. A terror."
Hesitant, Levi pressed another kiss to the crook of her neck, only peeking up for a brief moment to ask "Could you show me just how ruthless you are?"
"I could…" She breathed, fingers raking gentle creases through his hair, "But I'm not so sure I want to, just yet."
At her request, Levi pulled away, his heart thudding wildly in his chest. "H-heh. Sorry." Resting his forehead against hers, he attempted to calm the temptation that continued to pulse through him. "G-got a little carried away."
"I wasn't complaining, Lev." Her fingers traced the contour of his jaw and she smiled faintly, "I know my limits. And you haven't hit any lines I'm not willing to cross."
"Just making sure." He breathed, finally finding peace within himself again. He chuckled sheepishly. "Just be sure to hit me if I cross any lines. Or being back-slapped works very well too."
Laughing softly, she shook her head, "I'm not gonna hit you, Juke." Sighing contently, she dropped her forehead to his, "And just so you're aware… because who doesn't deserve a good ego boost now and then, you are… exceptionally tempting."
"Same goes for you, buttercup." He whispered, grinning broadly as his eyes squinched closed. "You make it really, really hard at times. Not that that is a bad thing or anything but...I'm trying to be better here…" He kissed her quick before pulling back, making sure she didn't have a chance to respond in turn.
"Hm…" With the teasing kiss, Daisy chuckled softly, "Better… right. You're trouble, Levi. Don't think I can't see what you're tryin' to do. Break me down by being adorable and noble. I have half a mind to ruin your wicked plans."
"Do you now?" He questioned, eyes brightening as he smirked. "And what if my wicked plans come to fruition, my little flower?" He rested his chin upon her head. "Gonna be really scary I assume."
Laughing, Daisy poked his side, "Downright ferocious." Leaning back, she pressed up to steal a kiss of her own, "Quaking in your boots, yet?"
"Absolutely terrified." He mumbled against her lips, laughing softly as he tapped his shoes together. "Trembling from head to toe."
"Good…" Pressing in again, more definitively, she looped her arms around his shoulders and tugged herself close.
"You really do make this hard, Dais." He mumbled into her shoulder as he securely curled into her, attempting to distract himself by nestling into her.
"...I don't mean to." Sinking back a little, she brushed a thumb across his jaw, "...And if it's any comfort… I'm having a hard time remembering what I'm holding back for. I've said it before, but I mean it, Levi. I have never felt so safe… Not ever."
"It's not a bad thing." Levi reassured her, his voice somewhat muffled. "I'm glad I could make you feel safe, buttercup. It's a relief to know that you feel comfortable around me. I just don't want to break that feeling."
"I don't know at this point that you could." She murmured softly, sinking down onto her side. With a small sigh, she reached up to brush the hair from his forehead, "...But we don't need to rush. You want me to come to Miami, Lev… I'm there. You wanna stay here, that works, too. All I'm sayin' is… you're stuck with me."
"You...You would?" Levi felt a foreign guilt shoot up through his veins. This was Daisy's home. He couldn't bare to pull her away from it. Yet, at the same time, he didn't want to leave his own behind. "Y-you sure? I don't...I don't want to pull you away from this."
"I don't make decisions lightly, Lev. You know that. But Yul has Thad… and anyway, after everything that's happened, Miami could probably use a medic on hand. I know Rose can heal, but she's got a hell of a handicap with that immune system of hers, and I'd hate to see her burn herself out. And honestly? I'm pretty damn attached to one or two of you…"
"I just want you to be sure, because I know this is your home. And you do have friends here." He gently placed his hand along her cheek, slowly leaning down next to her. "If you are sure, I would love to have you with me. I just want to make sure you are absolutely sure."
"I'm sure, Levi. I promise." Breathing out, she leaned into his hand, "Never expected this, when I heard what happened in Miami. Never banked on it, but I wouldn't change it… not for anything. You want me, I'm there. No hesitation."
"I would love it if you came." Levi admitted, although it took him a minute to conjure his answer. "But only if you truly, truly feel like you'd be happy there."
Laughing softly, Daisy reached her hands out to cup his cheeks, "Sweetie… hear me, loud and clear, okay? You are in no way, shape or form, coercing me to make this decision. I am happily agreeing to the terms… and have no intention of regretting the decision. Okay?"
"Okay." Levi bobbed his head as it sunk in. He wasn't forcing her to do this, she would because she wanted to. He held onto her hands, smiling up at her sheepishly. "If you do come, and we've got the HQ all fixed up...I'm going to be really excited to have you. Is...is Yul gonna be mad about that?"
"Pssh. Yul. I told you before… he ain't so scary." In truth, she wasn't sure how he would take the news, but rightfully, she didn't care. So few times in her life, she'd done things just for her… it was about time. "Promise… if he tries to take you don't, I'll try real hard to beat him up for you."
"I could just kidnap you." He chuckled, poking her nose. "Turn us both invisible and smuggle us out of there. I doubt anyone would really mind…"
"As sexy as that sounds…" She mused, wrinkling her nose with a laugh, she shook her head, "That probably would give Yul reason to worry, and however much a puppy he may be, he can be pretty fearsome when he tries." Leaning in, she kissed his nose in return, "...I like you too much to let that happen."
"Sexy abduction." Levi rolled his eyes. "I won't even go down that route of possible joke making. What, he gonna track me down or something? Okay fine, we will go the legal, less fun route I suppose." He chuckled at himself. "Thank you Dais, for carin about me so much in that regard."
"I promise you, Levi… I will always care enough about you, to keep you from kidnapping me in the name of love."
"Mm. So I don't get to put you over my shoulder and carry you around in the name of love?" He teased, pressing her nose with his thumb.
"I didn't say that.." She answered with a coy shrug, her nose wrinkling again as she chuckled, "Just no kidnapping."
"No fun." He pouted teasingly, nuzzling his cheek against hers. "But I suppose I see where you are coming from. I'm just...really so glad you are deciding to stick around. You have no idea how happy that makes me."
Closing her eyes, she smiled faintly, "...Well, then… mission accomplished. Cause all I really want is to make you happy, Lev. I mean it. You… you kinda changed my world here, you know? Pretty big deal…"
"I changed your world, hmm?" He questioned softly as he brushed a stray lock of her hair back. "I think you've done the same for mine, my little flower. For the better."
"...Well, duh. I mean… have you seen me?" She teased, with a small grin.
"I mean I would be pretty damn blind if I hadn't." Smirking, he leaned back onto the mattress. "I think I've fallen for you, buttercup."
"...Oh, well...I guess that makes it easier for me, then." She whispered, his fingertips trailing along his arm, "...Cause… ditto."
"I'm sort of scared to say the words." Levi mumbled, gaze making its way over to her. He drummed his fingers against the back of her hand. "I mean, I don't think I've ever fallen so fast. It doesn't feel like weeks, you know?"
"...Feels like I've known you forever…" She murmured, her fingers brushing his hair from his forehead, "But I've never… I've never said it before, either. Not… not to anyone."
"Last time I said it someone laughed." He smirked, although bitterness pulled at the edges. "I don't expect you to but...I suppose it just makes me sort of scared."
"You don't have to be scared…" She returned, and her fingers wound down his cheek, along his jaw, "I promise you, Levi. You never have to be scared of that…"
"Is it too soon to say it?" He whispered, swallowing. He was sure of his emotion, he was. An underlying concern remained, however, seeming unwilling to shake itself off from him.
"Does it feel like it to you? If you're not ready, I'm the last person in the world to rush you." She breathed, with a small, gentle laugh, "I know what I feel, Levi. I know that somehow, some way, in the last few weeks, I definitely fell in love with you. And I don't mean… for anything… to lose that."
"I love you, Daisy." He whispered, finally, voice trembling. He grasped for her hand and squeezed it gently, although there was a form of desperation in his touch. He exhaled slowly, knowing he couldn't go back now on his words. "Honest to God I do."
It was enough… Bringing his hands up to her lips, she kissed the backs of them, gently, and her smile warmed as she pulled closer to him, a second kiss to his forehead, a third to his lips.
Relief flooded through him, his heart stuck in his throat. She had reaffirmed his words. She had meant what she said. Levi could feel his heart thud against his chest, a wild beat desperate to break his ribs. Slowly, he gathered the courage and strength to kiss her back, pouring as much graditude and affection into it as he possible could.
When she pulled away, Daisy smiled brightly, breathing in, and resting her forehead to his, she opened her eyes to meet his gaze, "...You sweet, sweet man… stealing my heart the way you did. Shameful." Kissing the tip of his nose, she squished as close to him as possible, "...What's it like, Lev? B...being with someone you love?"
"I think you stole mine first." Levi breathed, chuckling. His hand came to rest at the small of her back, his thumb tracing patterns along her skin. "Being with someone I love? I...I can't describe it. The way I feel now. It...It feels like the world around me is gone. Reality is tipping. Yet, I feel joyful. If not down right ectastic. I feel nervous." Slowly, he took a hold of her wrist and guided it over his chest, to allow her to feel the beating of his heart.
"Think I could get used to feeling this way…" She mused softly, fingertips folding as her palm flattened against his chest, "I'm not used to… to trusting. To wanting to trust. But I do. I trust you, Levi. With… with everything."
"I trust you too, Dais." He promised, closing his eyes and praying that when he opened them this wouldn't be taken away from him. "I promise to never give you a reason to doubt. I promise."
"No, Lev… Listen…" Smiling faintly, she peered at him, eyes meeting his, firmly, concentrated, "I trust you... with everything."
"E-everything?" He stammered, brushing his fingers through her hair as he attempted to quiet down the trembling in his chest. "T-t-that's a lot you know."
"Yes…" She continued, gingerly, her smile warming, "...It is. Think you can handle it?"
"I can." He traced his fingers gently down her arm. "I'm more than happy to."
"So…" Breathing out, she shrugged, "What's next?"
"I…" Levi mused, slowly lying down on his back and opening up his arms to her. He smiled "Can I perhaps interest you in a little bit it uh, you know, snuggles?"
A brow quirked, and she inched closer, elbows on his chest, "...Oh. Yes. Yes, Levi. I think that is a brilliant idea."
