Levi was standing behind the counter, patiently waiting for costumers and enjoying the smell of loose tea, now and then wiping off some dust that bothered him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrSftoufi

The tea shop he worked at was one people liked to go to, it was centered, the tea was always good and the atmosphere in it was nice and warm, really inviting. Other than Levi himself, he was what people would call unapproachable and introverted. He knew, but never bothered to change it, Levi was his own kind of happy.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEHcNFwSDJ

That day there weren't many people coming in, it was calm. Levi used the opportunity to make himself a cup of black tea while his fellow workers were talking enthusiastically about something he didn't understand. He wasn't friends with them and he liked it that way. They were younger than Levi and probably wouldn't work at this shop for a longer period like him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngruMHeRLW

The truth was that Levi always wanted his very own tea shop, but he had never gotten that far for some reason, it just never happened. Deep down it did bother him, but his straight, expressionless face never gave away a thing. Levi thought he could be content working at a tea shop, but he knew it would never satisfy him enough.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXE9Rc63uR

With that thought in his mind sinking his mood Levi took sip after sip from his tea, looking out of the window before letting his gaze slide over the room he was in. He imagined that it would be his. The wooden floor, the tables and chairs, every little tea leaf, the scent that was in the air - green tea, black tea, all mixed together, filling Levi's nostrils - everything about this shop made him regret not having his own. What did he need to finally pull himself together, to get up and do it - make his dream come true?612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTnc1rACX5

Levi looked out of the window again, seeing the few people that passed by dressed in coats and scarfs. It was fall, on the edge to winter, when there was almost always fog in the morning, sometimes until noon. Levi took a glance at the clock, it was half past ten, too soon for people to come here, either because of work or because of school. Mornings only were busy around half past six to seven when everyone was on their way to those places, wanting a warm tea because of the cold weather.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJI2ppjvVK

To his surprise someone entered the shop, a boy. Levi glanced to where the others were, but they didn't notice, were too deep in conversation to realize what was happening around them. He put his mug down and straighten up to take his place behind the counter.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pkg9wxYHv

"Morning, what will it be," Levi asked the boy. He needed to look up to him slightly, he was taller than him but still a lot younger. Levi eyed him, waiting for his order. The boy had a wondering look on his face, probably thinking about what he wants. Levi had never seen him in this shop before, he would have remembered eyes like this, ocean blue with a hint of green - they fascinated him. They seemed like they had lost a spark just like Levi's.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaJKgaRWS3

"I don't know. Do you have coffee?" Levi thought he misheard what the boy said. Did that brat really ask him if they had coffee here, in a tea shop? Levi's always present frown intensified from the stupidity that was standing in front of him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANFsVUZtbM

"You've got to be kidding, right," Levi asked. The anger was boiling inside him and threatening to break out. It did bother him that the boy didn't even know where he was standing. "This is a fucking tea shop."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjUFzlOfV

One of Levi's colleagues noticed what was going on and tried to approach them. "Is everything alright," she asked. Levi didn't know her name and he didn't care. He scowled in her direction to make her stop moving and turn around right on the spot. Levi could handle himself, a nullity like this.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91CahHriNh

The boy cleared his throat, Levi could detect by his slightly red cheeks that he was a bit embarrassed. "I'm - I'm sorry, I didn't realize where I was walking in -" Another thing Levi noticed, was that he intimidated the brown-haired boy. He might have been taller, but at this moment it seemed like he shrank a few centimetres.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtetlT5bEd

"Don't you smell the tea? Don't you see the tea," Levi asked with a calmer voice, he didn't want to scare him even more. Levi was supposed to be nice to his costumers, - which was an obvious requirement, of course - but he always came across as rude, filter less and cold, his colleagues often saying that he never smiled. They thought Levi never listened to them, but sometimes when he was bored and there were no costumers he did.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBfTmSgyo

"I have never been around here, I was - Can I just order something," the boy asked. He seemed as if he slowly had gotten to terms with the embarrassment he experienced right there. "Sure," Levi answered. His normal frown was back, inwardly he was still pissed, but he knew there was no reason to be. Everyone could make mistakes and that day one of his costumers made one. It wasn't all that bad.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTnGwqL3i

Levi noticed that his opposite was struggling with what to order, so he decided to help him out. "I can recommend you my favourite, if you want." The boy nodded.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02ORzVykC

"It's a black tea, tastes of citrus and blue cornflowers. You want one?"612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjRIyDJinA
"Please."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5qSh3iGBt
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZiAz2cXjE

Levi put the kettle on and mixed the tea. He was skilled in making the black tea, because it was his favourite and drank at least one of them every day. "What's your name?"612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpyacdks9
"Eren."612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ZpsbMhL3
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5RnqXJbvF

"Why are you not in school, Eren?" Levi put the tea leafs in a filter and into a cup, filling it with the steaming water. He didn't hand it to Eren yet, he needed to let the tea brew for a bit. Levi propped up his hands on the counter, eyeing Eren, whose unease was slowly coming back, and waiting for his answer. He didn't care whether he was skipping school or had a day off, he wanted to simply talk to him, he found him interesting. Those eyes that seemed so similar to his own and not because of the colour, they were intriguing to Levi.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqrJYyQ4yG

"I don't - I. . . skipped." It wasn't really convincing, Levi detected a lie like this easily, but if that wasn't the truth then what was it that made him be there and not at school? "How much for the tea?"612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSkqiFCztx
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKECiYM1Iuk

Levi handed him the cup with the tea and shook his head slightly. "It's okay, forget about the money," he said. Levi was pleased with himself for pretty much making it up to Eren's embarrassment for earlier by paying for him - it seemed good and right to him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPsxVoFEKm

Eren smiled a crooked smile, for a second there was the spark back in his eyes that Levi was sure had left a long time ago. "Thanks," he said and left.
