Modern!Laina AU with Agent Lillytiger

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi glanced up at Raina as she laughed. "Shut up." He muttered, grinning a tiny bit himself as he noticed that she was a little red too. He nodded and went to the kitchen to retrieve the utinsels. He bit his lip as he rifled through the drawers. Why did this kind of thing always happen to him? He'd be doing okay, and then out of nowhere, he'd say something stupid like that. They'd only just begun to get along, she didn't need to know that he'd started to- Levi slammed the drawer shut. He did not need to go down that road right now. He finally dug a couple pairs of chopsticks out of a drawer and returned to the living room. He sat beside Raina and held a pair out to her. "Here, start eating before either one of us says something else stupid." He teased.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina smirked. "Not a chance." She plopped down in her spot on the couch again as Levi went into the kitchen. Date? No it's not a date. He was kidding. She laughed and took her chopsticks as Levi offered them. "Thanks. But if you talk with your mouth full. . ." She joked, but she grabbed one of the takeout cartons. She opened it and immediately started shoving food in her mouth as she looked down at the note's Levi had spread across most of the table.

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi rolled his eyes. "I promise, I will not talk with my mouth full." He said, grabbing a carton of food. He popped the lid open and dug in, watching Raina as she looked over his notes. He swallowed his mouthful of food. "So what is it we're doing?" He asked, shifting into a more comfortable position.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina stuffed another bunch of chow mien into her mouth and didn't answer for a minute as she stared at Levi's notes. She swallowed and tapped her chopsticks against the take out carton. "Now we're going to beat this stuff into your head if it kills you." She replied. "But we're eating so for now just read your notes as many times as you can. Slowly. Speeding through them won't help you remember anything."

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi nodded and leaned over to better see his notes. He spent the next several minutes going over his notes, slowly, and trying to remember everything on the papers. He finally set his empty carton down and sighed. "That hit the spot." He said, standing up. He started cleaning up after the food, grabbing empty cartons an throwing them away. After he had finished cleaning up, he sat back on the couch and leaned his against the back of the couch. He looked sideways at Raina. "Not going to lie, you're not a terrible tutor." He said, nudging her with his elbow.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina just watched Levi and shoved food in her mouth as he read. He'd done a pretty good job with making comprehensive notes, so as long as he actually studied he shouldn't have too difficult of a time. She was going to help with the clean up, but he was done befor she has the chance to offer. She smiled a little as he complimented her. "Well, thanks." She said, shrugging. She grabbed the bag of candy off the table. "So basically you use these as a rewards system and you get one every time you finish reading one of your cards.

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi pulled his legs under him so that he was sitting cross legged facing Raina. He tilted his head and squinted suspiciously. "Are you just trying to fatten me up to eat me later?" He asked jokingly. He reached over and scooped up his cards, shuffling them into a stack.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina rolled her eyes, though there was a tiny smile on her lips. "I don't know if you'd put on enough weight for that if you tried." She kidded, elbowing Levi in the ribs. "It works, okay?" She leaned back and pulled her legs up onto the couch. "So I want you to do that, but read aloud."

[Agent Lilytiger]

Levi shook his head and smiled, actually smiled, as Raina elbowed him. He shrugged. "I don't know, you might be surprised." He said, glancing up at her. He did as he was told and looked down at the cards in his hands. He sighed and started to read. He found himself glancing up at Raina several times. He tried to dial it back, only looking up every few cards. He was so glad that they had decided to start over. He so desperately needed a friend, and she had been put right in front of him. Already he was feeling comfortable with her, and it had only been a couple hours since she had come to apologize. Levi suddenly realized that he had stopped reading and was staring at Raina over the cards. He immediately fixed his gaze back down to the cards and started reading again, though that didn't stop a light flush from spreading across his cheeks.

[Agent Blackhawk]

Raina laughed a little bit and just listened as Levi started to read his notes. If she wasn't lying, she enjoyed the sound of his voice. She blew some loose hair out of her eyes and then finally just tugged the band out of her ponytail, letting the hair fall in soft waves around her shoulders before immediately yanking it back up into it's tie. She raised a brow slightly as she noticed that he was staring at her, but he eventually looked back to his cards. Her lips quirked up in a soft smile and she didn't say anything about it.
