Perfectly Matched | Levi X Reader ?AU? (COMPLETED)

Chapter 16: Rehearse

"What about the project?" I asked.

He handed me the folder containing their script. I opened and read the plot. It was a story is about secret agents having a mission to exterminate a corporation of illegal weapons and some plot twists where Levi and his leading lady will develop feelings to each other while doing their mission.

I raised an eyebrow while arranging the papers back to their arrangement. "This is it? Aren't you not used to acting? I mean, you're a popular celebrity and at least an actor. Don't tell me you're bad at acting...?" I almsot laughed.

He was lying on my bed while scrolling his phone and crossed legs. "Don't underestimate me. I've done lots of series, movies or any shit Erwin was accepting for me, Hanji or Mike. But for this, thing? A clichè romance will appear on a scene and I don't want to be a stuttering mess around the camera." Levi looked away from his phone to me, embarrassed.

I chuckled at how desperate he is for this project. "Aww... is our little Levi embarassed?" I teased.

He clicked his tongue. "Never." Then he crossed his arms, putting back his phone inside his pocket. "And if you won't help me with this, then I better leave..."

He was about to stand up when I stopped him. "No, stop. Okay fine." I pouted. "You know I was just kidding..."

He shooked his head and adjusted back to his seat. "Tch."

"Alright, so where do we need to start?" I asked.

Levi gets the script and searched for where he messes himself up.

"Here." He pointed his dialogue. I read it and saw a name of a girl.

Petra Ral? I don't know, but her name... have I heard it before?

"Hey, uhmm... before we start...do mind if I ask who's Petra...? Have I met her before? Her name sounded familiar to me..."  I asked softly.

His expression became more serious after I asked. Levi didn't answered me instead changed the topic.

"If you don't want to start then-"

"No... um, nevermind that..." I sighed in defeat.

"Aren't we going to start?" He was getting impatient.

"Oh yes, here. Uhh so... Just try to act calm here."

In this scene, the girl named Petra and him were training in hand-to-hand combat.

"Give her an intimidating expression and try to look cool since..."I glanced on the script to reread. "...you were agents here."

"So in this scene, the both of you were opponents in your training so send glares." I continue explain based on how I read the books like this.

He kept on listening to me until we decided to act the scene so he'll get used on the shoot.

I'm not that good at combat skills but a least I know some basic self-defense my brother taught me a month ago. I stood on my fighting stance as well as Levi.

At least my room had enough space for us to practice his dialogue and acting.

"Now, I have to take charge on you and you'll catch my kick, punch then catch my arm, so you're gonna turn me around... and yeah... umm..." I read the last words.

"What?"

"U-uhh... look directly into eyes. Then you'll say your line." I mentally cursed from stuttering. "Is that clear?"

He nodded. My heart beating fast. Argh, it looks like I am the one whose gonna act in here. -,-

I started to take charge on him. Did roundhouse kicks, punches, but still taking safety notes on my mind to avoid hurting ourselves.

Levi kept on avoiding my punches, effortlessly. Like no harm is getting on his way. He got my arm and turned me around to lock me up in his arms.

"You won't get easy on me..." he whispered sassily on my ear that nearly tickled me.

My heart raced faster than I thought...

Why...?

Why do I suddenly feel this way?

I tried to remove his grasp on mine as said in the script and just like what clichè movies do, they will not let go.

"Let go of me." I said as if I'm upset.

"I won't." Levi replied.

Our eyes met. His piercing graysih-blue orbs softened, looking directly on my eyes. His gaze travelling down my lips.

'H-hey! I thought I was safe with that scene?!'

I didn't mentioned it on him because it's awkward but how did he knew?

"L-levi..." I nervously murmured, trying to remove his grasp. I am not acting anymore.

"Sshh..." he hushed.

Levi's grasped softened as well as his gaze. He slowly grabbed my right hand and intertwined it into his left hand...

My face was heating up, I can't help it.

He leaned in slowly to me and put his other hand into the back of my head brushing my hair lightly.

I was getting hypnotic just until I felt his lips brush into mine softly... my hands trembling a bit and I felt butterflies on my stomach, realizing how I was not used to this foreign feeling.

I closed my eyes. I was kind of embarassed because I have no idea what to do next. His touch brainwashed me...

Levi locked his lips into mine. It feels like our lips were made for each other. It fits perfectly until his lips suddenly moved, sliding it on mine passionately.

Until after a few seconds he pulled away.

I was stuck.

I can't believe it...

I can't believe what happened...

He kissed me...

Levi kissed me...

My blush didn't faded that easily, but my attention diverted into him as I saw a blush on his cheeks.

"Je sais que vous na vous souvenez pas de nous..." he hugged me and whispered those words to my ear. "Vous serez toujours celui qui a fait mon coeur se semir ce cette facon..."

He let go of me and caressed my cheeks before leaving.

And yeah, I was left there standing dumbfounded.

Why did he kissed me?

Was it just a part of the rehearsal?

Or he did it... on purpose?

But he told me something.

Something I should know.

A French phrase, and I felt like I have to know what does it mean...

That those words will answer my question.

I'm confused.

I sat on the edge of my bed, touching my lips with my fingertip.

Was it real...? Everything that happened...?

I put my hand on my chest. Still racing fast.

That day. I still didn't know what I was feeling with a person I barely knew about what we really had back then because of my stupid amnesia.

But still..

I loved the way I feel when he touched my lips...

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Sooo, to those who doesn't understand the French phrase. Lol, even I couldn't understand it. I forgot the literal meaning.

Try translating it on google. *wink*

It has some sweet meaning to reveal. ^^
