I laid lazily on the couch with my phone while Levi was in the kitchen washing
the dishes. I told him that that wasn't necessary and that I would do that
later. But he insisted on washing them.

I remembered how he told me that everything has to be clean and neat so that he
feels at ease. So I just decided to let him do what he wants.

"Oi, Jaeger!" I heard him yell from the kitchen after a while.

"Yes?" I sat up on the couch looking to the kitchen.

Levi walked out of the kitchen door and looked at me with his normal emotionless
face. "You want to have some tea?"

I smiled at him and nodded "Yes please".

He walked back into the kitchen and a few minutes later he came back with two on
a tablett. He put it down ont the couch table and gave me one of the cups.

"Thank you" I smiled and Levi sat down next to me with the other cup in his
right hand, sighing when h sat down.

I cooled the tea down and took a sip. 'It's delicious!' I thought, a smile on my
lips. I usually don't drink tea but this one is really good.

"Brat"

I frowned a little "Not a brat"
 
"Yes you are"
 
"No I'm -" I stopped because I knew that discussion was pointless. I calmed down
and spoke up again. "What is it?"
 
Levi looked into his teacup. "How should that work?"
 
I leaned my head to the right in confusion. "How should work what?"
 
He sighed again. "This. Why should I stay? What do you want me to do?"
 
'That's right. Why did I want him to stay here with me? Was there a reason?
Maybe because my parents died? No, that's not really it. Because my sister left
too? Maybe. I have no friends... Was that it? Guess not. But why? Why then? What
do I want him to do?' I thought not answering Levi's question, only debating
with myself. But I didn't have an answer.
 
'Guess he dosen't have an answer for me' Levi thought before he sighed and stood
up. "If you can't answer me then I'm going now. See ya maybe"
 
That's when I was brought back to reality. I jumped up, running after him. I
slung my arms around his neck, holding him tight. His back against my chest.
"Don't..." I mumbled.
 
He didn't hear the rest of it but his eyes widened at my actions. "What...was
that?" he whispered.
 
I hugged him tighter resting my head on his his shoulder. "Don't go! Stay wit
me! Please!"
 
I felt him relax and lean into my touch a bit. "But why? Tell me".
 
This time I didn't need to think about it. "I don't want to be alone, I want you
to teach me everything about life and most important..." I trailed off. I didn't
knew if it would be a good idea to tell him.
 
"Go on" he whispered.
 
"I'm afraid that you might never come back if you leave" I mumbled into his ear
and felt how he stiffened, his eyes wide.
 
We stood there for a while just like that. Levi hasn't answered me yet but I
guess it's normal when you tell someone something like that. A few minutes more
went by and I just had to do something.
 
"Levi" I said loosening my grip and turning him around. He looked down and his
black hair covered his eyes. He put my hands down from his shoulders, turned
around grabbing his jacket and left.
 
'He just left' I thought, tears forming in my eyes. My knees couldn't hold me
anymore and I slumped to the ground, right there where Levi and I had just stood
together.
 
Now I'm alone again, something I wanted to never happen again. But it did and
the tears in my eyes now left them, just like Levi left me, streaming down the
sides of my face.
