Obey Me! : A collection of short stories (FINISHED)

O-S 10 : My Chance!

Once again, soon after the release of the song, she had the urge to dance. Of course. Namiko had been listening to Levi's song on loop, and she knew she wouldn't ever get tired of it. The first time she listened to it, she expected him to sing about his interests, his hobbies, or his struggles with 'normies' in general, his personality. She was ready to listen to it, and then maybe go see him to talk a bit with him.

Instead, she basically had a love confession, and hearing it from the shy Leviathan, of all people, turned her into a blushing mess. As embarrassed as she was, she couldn't stop listening to him, the upbeat song stuck in her head all day when she was at RAD.

So finally, she decided to give in, and try to dance on it, just like she had done after the release of 'Arcadia' and 'Are you Ready?'. She discreetly snuck out of her room, glad that for once, now one was in her room nor in the corridor.

---She quietly made her way to the gym's room, not noticing a certain demon going out of his room to go see her. Curious about her unusual behavior, he followed her, peering into the room.---

Namiko had laid her jacket on the ground, warming up her muscles. She wasn't quite believing what she was about to do. Dancing was already embarrassing enough for her, but she had decided to dance the type of dance Levi seemed to like. She found these choregraphies really cute and impressive, and even though she didn't have the training nor the talent to do these, she really wanted to take these choregraphies as inspiration today.

Taking a deep breath, she hit 'play' on her phone, and took her position quickly, the first notes ringing in the large room.

I thought you'll understand

Because we are best friends

Even if you said that you can't agree with my opinion

i don't know why i am lonely

Starting to move quickly with narrow movements, she thought about these first lyrics. It was very rare, but they sometimes argued, yes. Well not exactly argued, since it was mostly Levi losing his calm. And it was always about animes and mangas. As much as she loved the same thing he did, they sometimes didn't have the same opinion. And she felt the same as him about it. Sometimes it was hard for her to keep in mind that it was okay to not agree with a friend. It didn't mean they weren't close; they were. Perhaps being able to admit that you don't agree with a friend, rather shows how close you are to them.

She totally understood why he was feeling lonely after a heated debate. Especially when the debate was starting to shift into more of a fight. Every time she felt guilty about it, and thought that maybe she should have been able to keep things cool, maybe just say he was right, and move on. She just always felt like she had to be honest with him. He wouldn't like for her to hide how she feels or sees things just to please him after all.

I'm sure you don't care about me

But it's fun being with you

Our conversation here, about you

Is more fun than an anime sequel

This first line in particular always broke her heart. She was getting desperate. It seemed that, no matter what she did, his self-esteem would always be this low. Probably because the change could only come from him, not from others around him. She related to him more than she'd care to admit. For a long time she thought the brothers, including Levi, would quickly grow bored of her, and end up ignoring her.

It was still hard sometimes to truly believe that, yes, they did love her, and cared about her, just like she loved them and cared about them. She cared about Levi. So much. She didn't know how to convince him of it, but she did. She loved the moments spent with him, all these evenings and nights spent gaming, binge watching animes, theorizing about what would happen next in a manga, sharing their headcanons. It was always fun to be with him.
