Happy Birthday, Brat (Levi X Reader)

This piece is for on her birthday. I know I'm a day or two late, but I hope you enjoy it regardless! I hope everyone else enjoys it as well! You all can expect to see two specials soon and me to leave my hiatus to continue my various series! Please enjoy my lovelies!


    “Oi, brat, wake up.” The monotone voice grumbled from above me. I opened my (e/c) eyes to see a pair of gray ones looking down at me.

    “Levi?” My groggy voice mumbled.

    “You have bad morning breath, go wash up and get ready.” His raven hair brushed my cheek as he dropped a quick kiss to my forehead and began to walk away from the bed.

    “Wait, Levi! How did you get in my apartment? I never gave you a key!” I call after him. He paused in the doorway to look back at me over his shoulder. A grin formed on his lips, causing my heart to skip a beat.

    “You can thank Hanji for that.” He walked out of sight and I sat there in puzzlement.

    “Wait! I never gave her a key either!” I struggled with my blankets before thumping onto the cold hardwood floor. With a few curses and some choice phrases, I got up and went to my bathroom, noticing Levi made himself comfortable in my small living room, wiping something off of my coffee table in order to get comfortable.

    I made sure to rid myself of the morning breath before hopping in the shower. Once back in my room, with the door shut and locked, I dressed myself in a pair of black leggings, a (f/c) mini skirt, and a black v-neck top. I put my long (h/c) hair into a ponytail while leaving a few pieces down to frame my face. After applying minimal makeup, I slid into a pair of flats and met Levi in the living room.

    “Why are you harassing me so early in the morning?” I ask the usually stoic man as I sit on the arm of the recliner he had taken a seat in.

    “Early? It’s eight thirty in the morning.” He retorted with a slight narrowing of his cat-like eyes.

    “On a Saturday, eight thirty is four hours too early.” I respond with a playful smile pulling on the ends of my lips. He rolled his eyes before standing, taking my hand, and dragging me out of my apartment with nothing on me but my cellphone (which he made me turn off). “Seriously, Levi, what are we doing?”

   “It’s your day, just shut up and enjoy it.” He said this as he tightened his grip on my hand and refused to look at me. From the corner of my eye I noticed a pink tinge beginning to build in his cheeks. I felt the smile on my face widen as I remembered what day it was.

    Minutes later we entered my favorite diner in all the world; Waffle Maria.

    I felt a stupid grin form on my face as we were led to a table that held a huge bouquet of blue and white roses. “Levi, was this planned beforehand?” I ask regardless of already knowing the answer.

    “Tch, who do you think I am? I have this entire day planned out.” His response made my face feel as if it would be ripped in half from smiling too much. He pulled out my chair and, after I was seated, pushed it in for me. I would not be able to get the smile off of my face until tomorrow, or even later than that.

    After a beautiful breakfast, Levi whisked me away to another favorite place of mine; the anime and manga store. “Buy any nerdy thing you want. Except those male stuffed plush boy thingies. I don’t like how you sleep with those.” His gray eyes showed just how serious he was about those.

    I couldn’t hold in the laugh as I nodded my head in agreement. “No plushie will ever replace you, well, unless they become real...” Levi flicked my forehead and I laughed some more. Regardless of his cold and stony exterior upon first meeting him, Levi was one of the nicest, kindest and...sexiest [ ] people in my life. It still amazed me that he chose me out of all the girls in the world to date.

    With a blank faced Levi in tow, I ventured giddily into the store. We received many odd looks from those around us, but, as Levi scared the onlookers off with glares, I felt more comfortable than I have in a long time. He truly knew how to make this day special to me.

    By noon Levi looked severely annoyed. “I think I’m done shopping. We can go, unless you want to stay, kill someone, and get arrested?” I add the last part to get a small glare from him.

    “I wouldn’t kill anybody today.” He told me as we got in line to check out.

    “Then tomorrow?”

   “Hell yeah.” I burst out into obnoxious laughter.

    Hand-in-hand we left the store and ended up at the park for a nice summer picnic. Sitting down on the blanket, I realized that there were several blankets as well as a tarp underneath of it. “You are still a clean freak, even when we are having a picnic outdoors.” I comment.

    He leans down and places a kiss on my forehead, my face turning a bright red as I am completely silence. “Keep talking and I will make you cuddle me like you do those damn plushies.” If my face could get any redder, it did.

    Levi sat down across from me, pulling a small tarp out and placing it over our laps before we could start eating. We made flirtatious small talk while eating and I got to watch Levi yell at a kid stupid enough to come too close to our picnic and spill ice tea all over the blanket. After a brutal kick in the gut, Levi grabbed the now soiled blanket with a fire in his eyes.

    “(F/n), please forgive me, but there is a change in our schedule. I need to save this.” I bobbed my head and followed my odd boyfriend to the nearest laundromat. While I sat in the corner and watched Maury on the small television across the room, Levi hovered over the stain with a bottle of bleach. “Filthy, filthy, filthy...” He grumbled to himself.

   I made it to the second episode of Maury when I jumped from the seat, doing a dance of victory. “I told you he da baby daddy!” I cheered, twirling about until I came face-to-face with Levi.

    “I can become your baby daddy.” His blank face did not match the phrase that came from his mouth only seconds earlier. Feeling myself flush once more, I shook my head vigorously and watched a smirk form on his lips. “I will be one day; just you wait.” I turned my back to him out of embarrassment, but a smile adorned my lips.

    From the laundromat we headed to the movie theatre where the new Attack on Giants movie was playing. I didn’t mind reading the subtitles of the live action movie, but Levi gave the occasional grumble; far less than usual since it happened to be a special day.

    By seven o’clock (which was three hours of random shopping after the movie) Levi took my hand and led me into the uppity section of town. “Levi, you don’t have to do anything else for me. Today has already been more than enough...” A small glare silenced me immediately.

    “I planned an entire day and, dammit, we will experience it all. It’s already a mess because of that shitty brat who stained my best white picnic blanket.” I thought about questioning his choice in picnic blanket color, but refrained from doing so. I could pick on him another day. This day was special.

    We entered a cute little blue building, went up a set of winding metal stairs, and ended up on a beautiful balcony covered in candles. Before us sat a table with what had to be the most appetizing food I had ever seen or smelled. “Is it your goal today to make me fat?” I teased as he looked into my (e/c) orbs.

    “Of course not; I just know how much you love food.” He caressed my cheek, moving a piece of my (h/c) bangs aside as he did so. “Now, enjoy the last meal I have prepared for you today.” With a cheesy grin on my face, I took a seat and enjoyed my favorite meal. Towards the end of our dinner, a waiter brought out chocolate covered fruits and Levi began to check his watch (the one I got him for his birthday last year) continuously.

    After biting into a delectable strawberry, I decided to ask my boyfriend why he seemed a little twitchy. “Levi, today has been the best birthday I have ever had.” His gray eyes looked at me a few seconds, something gleaming at them when he heard this. But, a second later, he checked his watch again.  Now was the time to ask. “Why are you so antsy?”

   “Tch, I’m not antsy.” He retorted as he continued to stare at his watch.

    “Mmmmhhhhmmmm.” I rolled my eyes as I made the noise.

    Standing and reaching across the table to grab me, Levi says, “Come here, (F/n)!” He pulled me up and dragged me to the railing of the balcony. I leaned my arms on the balcony as his arms wrapped around me from behind. He placed his chin on my shoulder and gave me a quick squeeze. “This is the last surprise.”

   I did not have a chance to look back at him because a bursting sound filled the air before us. Multicolored sparks filled the air and my eyes widened at the beauty. My jaw dropped seconds later as the beauty took on an odd form. Levi stiffened behind me.

    “Levi? Is that firework in the shape of a...a...penis?” I asked him as I turned to look at his face. Levi pulled away from me and pulled out his cellphone. I burst into laughter as Levi began to yell into his phone.

    “What the hell, shitty glasses? I gave you one job! ONE!” He paused a few seconds. “No, it is not our sex-aversary! It is her birthday! I asked you to make the fireworks say ‘Happy Birthday!’” Cue the long strings of curses as I continued to look at the provocative display of sparks while cackling to my heart’s content.

    After slamming his phone onto the ground, he stomped back over to me. “I apologize for the horrible birthday.” I shook my head and kissed his cheek.

    As a flush filled his otherwise pale cheeks, I say, “It was not horrible at all. It’s one of the best I have ever had.” A smirk played on his lips as he put his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. His gray eyes stared right into my (e/c) ones and my heart began to beat erratically.

    Levi pressed his forehead against mine and I knew my face was pink. “Happy Birthday, Brat.” He kissed my nose. “(F/n), are you ready for your last gift?” I smiled in response.

    He leaned forward, his raven locks tickling my cheek as his lips pressed against mine in order to give me my favorite birthday gift.
