... His look turned away.
"Okay, I guess." ...

The saleswoman took a relieved breath and went toward the counter.

You stared at Levi and blushed.
In your thoughts:
What..? "Okay?" What's that supposed to mean?

Your look lowered and you swiftly turned away.
A slight smile appeared on your lips, as you changed clothes and had your normal clothing on again.
Even though it was a grasp of nothing, you had to smile.

When you went out, you saw Levi standing at the counter, handing the woman something over.

Your eyes widened.
"Levi, no, I'm going to pay!"

He monotonically looked over to you.
"I chose it, I pay."

You furrowed your eyebrows with your pinkish cheeks.
"Maybe I want the other one."
No you didn't

Levi:
"No you don't."

"Wh-How can you be so sure?"

Levi bluntly:
"I like it."

You blushed hard.
"H-What is that supposed to mean?"

The cashier beside you in thoughts:
That's... strangely cute.

Levi monotonically:
"It means you get a free dress, so shut your unthankful mouth, before I make you take the dreadful one."

You crossed your arms, offended, that he could read you so easily.
And for him having such a good eye for these things.

The saleswoman with a slight smirk:
"Listen to the groom and take the dress."

Your eyes widened and your head became even more red.
"N-no, we're not getting married, it's just a simple dress ahahah.", you awkwardly laughed.

She smiled again:
"Oh, then listen to your boyfriend."

Levi unemotionally:
"I'm her commander."

The saleswoman looked at both of you with a confused, questioning face and opened her mouth, closing it back again afterwards.

Levi suddenly from behind you:
"Idiot. Come."

You got back from your thoughts and swiftly turned around to follow him.
Behind your shoulder, you called:
"Goodbye and goodnight!", just to see the confused face of the woman.
Poor lady, you thought. We gifted her with a torturing evening.

When finally leaving the store, you took a fresh breath. It was dark outside and the unusual sound of silence greeted you.
A cool breeze followed.

Levi stood a few metres away from the shop with the bag in his hand, looking over his shoulder.
Your feet leaded you to Levi and took their place next him.
Silently, you walked over to another house, opposite of the building you were in before. You sat down on the edge of a small stone platform, similarly to Levi.

Still embarrassed of what the cashier had said, you asked:
"Where's Hange?"

Levi:
"Tch."
