"I think this calls for another shot!" Evan shouts around the bar. It was his birthday that day and the rest of the Kane squad decided to give him a party.

You weren't one for parties or celebrations, it wasn't that you were an asshole who didn't like fun you just couldn't hold your liquor. And it just so happened that the anniversary of your families massacre was tonight.

Sara and Leon were chatting and eating some pastries, Ben was flirting with every girl he sees as usual, and Jessica and Evan were taking shots back to back. Kane was even getting in on the fun.
Jessica notices you moping and strolls over with her dark drink, wobbling a bit.

"Okay your giving captain Cross face and not (Y/N) "I get drunk" Cross face. What's up?" Jessica slides next to you on the bench. You sigh and chuckle a bit.

"I already took my shot like I promised you idiots." You rest your chin on your hands still staring at the party goers.

"Yeah but you still get like this every year on this day....you still think about them?" Jessica asks me taking a swig.

"Of course Jessica, they're my parents and brother." I say bluntly.

"I'm sorry, I never knew mine so I never really know how to deal with stuff like this. But I will say this, you are my family. These four knuckle heads who are drunk as fuck are your family. So I hope that kinda counts for something." Jessica places a hand on yours and smiles.

You look over to her, red staining her cheeks from the alcohol. You let out a laugh and stand up, "LETS PARTY!!!"

The bar cheers as you join in on the fun.

\\\\\\

You come to and realize there are cheers. You look down at the ground and see everyone cheering for Krista. You smile to yourself, "Auntie Y/N are you okay? You went so quiet!" Lily takes yours hand.

"I'm okay just tired." You reassure her.

Lily's hand felt just like her mother's, you study her face to see similar features of Jessica in her. The nose, the freckles, the dimples, and the doe like eyes.

"You missed the whole battle! Krista swooped in! There were explosions like bam bam!" Lily explains to her heart's content.

\\\\\\

Lily was sleep by the time you and the rest of the scouts made it back to town. You place her in the bed and blow out the candle.

This was the first time Lily was in your home, well her new home.

Kane was at his usual resting spot and off in dreamland. You decided a much needed bath was in your cards tonight. You run the water and hop in. The hot water relieved your aching muscles and gave you the release you needed.

You close your eyes but, knocking was heard at your door. You sigh and get out the tub, you find your robe and grab your trusty knife in case.

Slowly opening the door, it was Levi.

"God damn it Ackerman." You groan and open the door.

"Great clothes for fighting." He scoffs and walks past you letting himself in. "Yes please come in." You roll your eyes and shut the door.

"Sorry for dropping in unannounced but I wanted to discuss with you the documents you managed to collect." He says sitting down.

"Can I put some clothes on first." You scoff and walk into your bathroom letting the water drain. You put on a tight fitting black sweater and sleeping shorts.

You make your way back out, Levi watches you carefully. Deciding to be a good host, you rummage through the cabinet to find some red wine and some glasses.

"Red wine, classy." He says.

You place the half filled glass in front of him and take a seat on the other side.

"So since you have to talk to me about to stuff tonight, let's get started shall we?" You roll your eyes and start chugging your glass.

Levi sighs and takes a sip of the wine, "Alright Cross tell me everything."

You slam the glass down a little too hard and pour some more. "Well, my family had this Titian power for centuries, the oldest sibling will inherit the power or something. Every Titian gets a new crystal unique to them I got lapis and that's all I know." You take a sip of your drink, you can already feel the heat of the alcohol warming your body.

"Do you know how?" Levi asks getting impatient.

"You know Ackerman you gotta be chill sometimes or you'll never get laid." You snort at your comment.

"Cross."

"I mean have you even gotten laid? Your like what 30 or something?" You we're definitely drunk at this point. You didn't lie when you said you were a light weight.

A clatter of furniture moving was heard and Levi was suddenly in front your face. His face was stoic and intense.

You surely did it now, you gulp. "You know I could show you if I've ever been laid or not considering how curious you are." He says with a low voice. He was dead serious.

You shift in your seat shocked, "I-..." you didn't know what to say.

It was silence which felt like forever.

"Levi..." you say.

"Y/N...." He says your name basically purring it.

Your lips were mere inches away from his, the alcohol was definitely doing this. There's no way your about to kiss Levi Ackerman...

A door opening snapped you back into reality, a sleepy Lily comes out holding Rupert in one arm and wiping her eyes with the other.

Levi moves back and you get up. "Oh hi Mr Ackerman, I thought Auntie Y/N was fighting a ghost or something.." Lily says.

"Hi Lily, I was just leaving." Levi gets up and adjusts his coat.

You nod, "Yes Lily go back to bed I'll be right there to tuck you in again." You smile at her.

"Auntie Y/N...why are your cheeks so red?" She asks.

"Inside Lily." You point to her room. She shrugs and walks back into the room.

You sigh and walk past Levi to open the door. You were too embarrassed beyond anything so you keep your head down trying not to look at him, "Goodnight Ackerman."

"Goodnight Y/N. Maybe we can have this discussion another time." With that he leaves.

You close and lock the door sliding your back down the wall.

"Fuck my life."
