[Closed - Levi and Bella]

[detectivecontrary]

Levi was pretty sure everything was perfect. He was also pretty sure that everything didn't have to be perfect. Finally, he was pretty sure perfection was easy when your plan was so simple. The simplicity of it was what he liked though, because it meant he didn't have to do a lot to have a good time with Bella. This was about as simple as it got.

Sweatpants and a tanktop were his outfit of choice. There was no meal to cook or wine to open. Nothing at all like that. So when 7 o'clock rolled around, Levi just opened his door.

"Why, Detective, are you saying you're considering leaving our fair city unprotected to play hooky? I'm shocked, appalled, utterly disillusioned." Bella was shaking her head, mock outrage on her face. "And whatever would you be doing that would be so much more important that looking after the welfare of the fine citizens of the Folly?"

The whole time she spoke, her leg was running up and down the back of his calf and her fingers played with the hair on the nape of his neck.

"You," he said, kissing her deeply again. He loved how she kissed him, with such enthusiasm it was refreshing. It wasn't just passion behind it, it seemed like she was... happy to do it. Joyful. Levi was pretty sure he didn't ever want to kiss someone else again.

He pressed his body against hers again, squirming a bit at her touch. It was almost like she was still exploring as well as acting on instinct, all of which drove him crazy.

"Mmmm, I dunno," Bella smiled against his lips, "you're pretty squirmy this morning. You think you can settle in to doing the same thing all day long?"

Part of her knew she should stop this - she knew she'd hurt him and she didn't want to make that worse - but she couldn't. He felt too good, too warm, under her fingertips.

"There are lots and lots and lots of different ways to do it," Levi pointed out, humming happily from the feel of her lips on his. He liked this playful, teasing side to her. Whoever thought vampires were all dark and gloomy and conflicted hadn't met Bella. Or maybe that was just for him.

"And you're planning on educating me on some of them?" Bella smiled up, tugging at a lock of his hair that was, for some reason, sticking up the entirely wrong way. "Does that fall under 'serve' or 'protect'?"

"Educating, finding new ones, whatever we want to do," he said, grinning back at her. He could gladly lay her all day next to her if he wouldn't starve. If they were both vampires and didn't really need to eat he wondered if they'd ever leave their bed.

"We'll call it an investigation. A very thorough one."
