Chapter 7: A Moment of Vulnerability

A Moment of Vulnerability The room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing breaking the silence. Kenzy's eyes locked onto Levi's, her face still flushed from his confession. She took a deep breath, trying to process her emotions. Levi's eyes never left hers, his gaze holding a deep sincerity. "I want to be with you, Kenzy," he said, his voice low and husky. "I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy." Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, her mind racing with thoughts. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and the thought of being with Levi, of spending her life with him, was both exhilarating and terrifying. "I want to get married to you," Kenzy said, her voice barely above a whisper. The words spilled out of her mouth before she could stop them, and she felt a rush of emotions as she watched Levi's reaction. Levi's face lit up with a warm smile, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair behind Kenzy's ear. "I want that too," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, making you happy, and loving you." Kenzy's face flushed, and she felt a lump form in her throat. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and the thought of being with Levi, of spending her life with him, was both thrilling and scary. Levi's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze filled with a deep sincerity. "I love you, Kenzy," he said, his voice low and husky. "I love your strength, your courage, and your beauty. I love everything about you." Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him, her mind racing with thoughts. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and the thought of being with Levi, of spending her life with him, was both exhilarating and terrifying. "Levi," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship like this." Levi's face softened, and he reached out to gently brush a strand of hair behind her ear. "You don't have to be ready," he said, his voice filled with understanding. "But I want you to know that I'm here for you, and I will wait for as long as it takes for you to be ready." Kenzy looked at him, her eyes searching for reassurance. She felt a flutter in her chest as she looked at him, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that she had feelings for him, but she was scared of what the future held. Levi's eyes never left hers, his gaze holding a deep sincerity. "I want to be with you, Kenzy," he said, his voice low and husky. "I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy." Kenzy's face twisted in a smile, and she felt a lump form in her throat. "I want that too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Kenzy's words hung in the air, and Levi's face lit up with a warm smile. He leaned in, his voice low, "Really?" Kenzy nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. "Really," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. Levi's face broke into a gentle smile, and he reached out to pull Kenzy into his arms. She felt a rush of emotions as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "I love you," he whispered, his breath hot against her skin. Kenzy's heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him, her eyes locking onto his. "I love you too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Levi's arms tightened around her, holding her close as they stood there, wrapped in each other's embrace. The world outside seemed to melt away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love and happiness. As they stood there, Kenzy felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she had made the right decision, and that she was exactly where she was meant to be. "I think we should tell the King and Erwin," Levi said, his voice low and husky. Kenzy nodded, her face still flushed with emotion. "Yeah, I think you're right," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Levi's face broke into a warm smile, and he pulled Kenzy closer, his lips brushing against hers in a gentle kiss. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love and happiness. Their lips touched, and Kenzy felt a rush of emotions. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and the thought of spending her life with Levi was both exhilarating and terrifying. But as she looked into his eyes, she knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be. "I want to tell them now," Kenzy said, her voice trembling slightly. Levi nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm ready when you are," he said, his voice filled with emotion. Together, they walked out of the room, hand in hand, ready to face whatever the future held. As they walked, Kenzy felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she had made the right decision, and that she was exactly where she was meant to be. The hallway was empty and quiet, but Kenzy could hear the sound of her own heart beating in her chest. She knew that she had found her soulmate in Levi, and that their love would conquer all. Their footsteps echoed through the hallway as they walked, hand in hand, towards a future filled with hope and possibility. And as they walked, Kenzy knew that she would never let Levi go.
