As the room erupted into cheers and catcalls, Levi offered you his arm. "Shall we mingle?" he asked with a grin, leading you deeper into the party. The music was loud, pulsing through the air as people danced and laughed around them. He could feel your body pressed against his, the heat from your skin seeping through his shirt. It only served to fuel his desire to get closer, to find out more about this enigmatic girl.

"So,"

"What was that about?" he asked casually, his voice low so only you could hear as he glanced over at the guy in question before returning his attention to you. He wasn't sure if he should be offended or flattered that someone else had noticed how attractive you were tonight.

"Oh, just some random idiot," you replied with a dismissive wave of your hand. "Don't worry about him." But the truth was, the attention made you feel uncomfortable.

As the last bell rang, signaling the end of another school day, Levi stood up and stretched before making his way toward the exit. He glanced over at where Chi had been sitting earlier but didn't see her anywhere in sight. Maybe she'd already left... or maybe she was just hiding out somewhere else this time.

Either way, he found himself feeling a strange mix of disappointment and curiosity about her absence. There was something about her that kept drawing him back in, even though he knew better than to get too close to someone like her.

"Chi? Hey... what's wrong?" Levi asked, alarm bubbling up inside of him as he rushed over to where she was standing near the entrance. She looked frightened and out of breath, her hands trembling as they grasped at her chest.

He glanced around, searching for any signs of danger or trouble that might have caused this reaction from her... but everything seemed normal enough. It didn't make sense. "What happened? Did someone hurt you?" he demanded, his voice edged with concern.

He blinked open his eyes, his vision slowly coming into focus on the ceiling above. For a moment he didn't remember where he was before realization dawned and he turned his head to see her still sound asleep beside him. A smile spread across his face as he admired her features in the soft morning light. He couldn't recall ever feeling this way about someone before, but there was something about Analese that just clicked with him on a deeper level. Maybe it was her intelligence, or maybe it was her sassy attitude...

He felt her stir beside him and couldn't help but smile as she slowly woke up. Her hair was a mess, her cheek still smeared with drool...and yet he found himself thinking that she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. "Morning," he whispered softly, his voice hoarse from sleep.
