[Levi x Deaf!Reader] MODERN AU
Chapter 2

Levi glanced at the time.


'5:05 pm.'


He had been waiting five minutes outside on the front porch and you still hadn't come out. He considered knocking again, but decided to open the door instead.


'Right...if she's deaf, she wouldn't hear me knocking. Guess I have to go get her. Tch, what a pain.'


He hesitantly opened it, taking a step inside. The man looked around as he shut the door behind him, searching the room for you.


Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs, which caused him to jump. Quickly spinning around in your direction, he stopped in his tracks once he caught sight of you. You had put on a (color) dress that hugged your curves perfectly, along with (color) flats. Your (h/l), (h/c) hair is let down and it frames your face beautifully. Levi couldn't help but stare a few seconds before he awkwardly averted his eyes.


'Great. She probably thinks I'm a pervert or something for walking in her house uninvited and gawking like an idiot.'


The dark-haired man typed out a sentence on his phone, holding it up for you to see as you make your way down the steps.


[You look nice.]


A light pink flush rose to your cheeks as you smile brightly, typing a response on your own phone.


[Thank you. So do you.]


Levi glanced down at his own outfit, a simple white dress shirt and a pair of black pants. The corners of his lips tugged up in a pleased expression before he typed a thanks and opened the front door for her, indicating he was ready to leave.


You nod and walk past him as he held open the door, a sweet smile on your lips.  He led you to his car and let you in before taking his seat on the driver's side.


The car ride was quiet. Not an awkward quiet, but a peaceful one. He wished he could strike some sort of conversation with the girl, but he couldn't type while driving. So he let it go and focused on the road in front of him.


Once it became apparent you had reached your destination, you peer out the window to see a very upscale restaurant. It didn't appear too formal or expensive, but it was definitely classy. For just a first date, if you could even call it that, it was breathtaking.


You follow behind the shorter man as he walks with you inside the restaurant. Once again, he held the door for you. A waiter led you both to your table, a nice booth seat by the window, and placed two menus down in front of you. Levi immediately picked one up  and you followed suit.


Finding one of your favorite foods listed on the menu , your face lights up with a beaming smile. You point it out to him, and with a small grin, Levi orders it for the both of you. Once the waiter had left, Levi pulled out a blank sheet of paper so he could chat with you while you waited. He reached into his pocket to grab a pen and found that it was gone.


Shit….It must have fallen out…. how do I talk to her?!


You tilt your head slightly, a confused look on your face. Levi sighs and holds up a finger to you as if to say “Hold on.” He stands and finds a waiter to ask if he could borrow a pen. Unfortunately, all that was available at the time was the crayons used for the children’s  worksheets. With an embarrassed expression, the grey-eyed man accepted the offer and trudged back to the table, blue and green crayons clutched in his fist. He tosses them down onto the table in front of you.


The look of discomfort on his features was cute. You giggled and took the blue crayon for yourself while Levi picked up the remaining green crayon.  He sat in his seat across from you once again and began to write.


[So. Tell me about yourself.] he wrote, pushing the page back to you. His silver eyes watch you curiously as you write your response.


[What is there to say...? I'm 20 years old and I'm a (college class) major. I love (subject) more than anything.]


He was a little surprised to read your response, but smiled. He scribbled another reply before handing it back to the (e/c)-eyed girl in front of him.


[Yeah? I'm 23. I plan to go to the military after I finish this year of college.]


[What branch, if I may ask?]


[Marines...]


Levi paused a second when he came to a realization. He hesitated to ask, but figured 'Why not?'.


[Quick question. You're only deaf, right? So why don't you speak?]


You don’t  answer for what seemed to be forever. He was wondering if he'd offended you somehow, and instantly began to write an apology. However, before he could grab hold of the crayon, you snatch the paper and begin writing a response. When you finally finish, you hold it out for him to take.


[It's alright. I'm not offended. To be honest, I don't speak because I am not comfortable with it. I've been deaf since birth, so I never really learned to speak correctly. Maybe that doesn't make sense to you, but I'm much more at ease when I'm writing out my replies rather than speaking them. And it just makes it easier, don't you think?]


Levi read your answer carefully, taking each word into consideration. He hadn't thought that being deaf would affect your ability to speak. But still, there was a lot he didn't know about your disability.


He picked up his crayon to begin writing a reply, but was stopped when your food arrived. The ebony-haired man thanked the waiter as he placed the two plates in front of you both. You smiled and nodded in acknowledgement as well before you begin eating.


All Levi heard was the bustling of the conversations happening around you. But your table remained silent as you ate. He took this opportunity to quietly admire your features. You hadn't noticed him staring at you until you looked up and his gaze quickly shot down to his plate as he continued to eat.


You continue to chat through the meal, taking up the entirety of both sides of the paper laid out between you. Although he rarely smiled, you could still tell he was having a good time. You were enjoying yourself with Levi as well, and you couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed when your time with him had reached its end.


After your little "date" was finished, Levi drove you back home. He walked you to the door and typed his simple goodbye before turning on his heel to leave. Before he could take a step, you reach out and take his wrist. The shorter man turned to see what you wanted and was surprised to feel your lips lightly pressed to his cheek. You smile and pull away before waving "good night" and going into your home. A faint blush adorned his cheeks as he made his way back to the car.


"Tch...brat." he smirked, the feeling of your lips still lingering on his skin.
Here's chapter 2~! I hope you enjoy it :D

*blink blink* Did you seriously just ask that?
