Omg you reblogged the second (first) date and it got me thinking about all the differences between that and the fancy date 🥺
The way they sat far apart on the first one but so close on the second that their legs were touching. How the awkwardness was gone and they were just so much more themselves 😭😭
The kiss.
I really love how they went to redo it and it ended up being so much more them.
Also, I wanna know who picked the restaurant. My heart wants to say Tim, because the idea that he made a point to take Lucy to “the most romantic restaurant in town” for their first date 😭😭😭 be still my heart
Okay that’s all. I just had feelings after seeing that gif set.
(I think about that scene all the time 😂 lives rent free in my brain)
I know! I still can't believe we got to see them on one date, let alone two… And the way those two dates bookended the episode was an amazing choice since they were so different, as you mentioned… Almost the complete opposite. The setting of the second date probably helped as well : they spent years eating together at food trucks so it felt familiar, they were dressed normally and that pressure to have everything run smoothly was basically gone. But it still managed to be romantic, with the fairy lights (it always reminded me of their dance), how close they were… His hand on her thigh!! How he didn't even bother chasing that guy because 'some things matter more'… Like kissing Lucy! The softness! Listen, the kiss in the bathroom is probably my favorite, but i love this one so much… It's so different, perfect for a first kiss… And the fact that Tim was the one to initiate it this time is fitting. He did so much better than that first peck at her apartment lmao. And he completed her checklist! And the grandkids!! I'm getting unhinged.
I'd also like to think that Tim was the one who picked the restaurant - for the same reason as you. The idea that he wanted to bring her to the most romantic restaurant because she deserves only the best, is so incredibly sweet. This is so far from his comfort zone, something she would know so best believe she would have appreciated the thought behind it.
And that montage at the beginning!! I love it so much. How nervous they were… So much so that Tim had to call Lucy. And all those callbacks with her dresses, retelling their story… That iconic green dress… The one from that infamous double date… And the one from Nyla's wedding… Lucy teasing him… Nevermind, I'm just going to rewatch that episode now!

I hope you're well. So I got a little prompt idea for alpha (and/or fordo because I love how you write the two of them). So Alpha do something extremely ruthless, borderline inhumane to accomplish the mission and kenobi get a reminded that for all their humanity, banter, past suffering and brotherhood the clones are still genetically crafted soldier based from one of the ruthless individuals that the galaxy ever known
Oh, you poor anon, I promise I haven't forgotten you. Unfortunately, this ask came in right before I started my first semester of college, and, well, the rest is history, but suffice to say I imagined having this finished a long time ago. But! I managed to produce something!
Pls enjoy Alpha being Done™️ with his general and Obi-Wan trying to process about 50 different emotions at once with whatever brain cells he has remaining + a sprinkle of childhood trauma because Kamino sucks
Alpha can feel the general’s eyes on him. That’s not an unusual occurrence - he is frequently the subject of Kenobi’s scrutiny. He doesn’t fit into the neat little box the general inadvertently created for him, and that gets under Kenobi’s skin, seeing as he’s a Jedi and all.
Alpha decides he’s content to wait out the silence. A rebuke is almost certainly coming his way soon, if the disapproval hanging over the room is any indicator, but he’s not keen to fuel that particular flame. He’s been on the receiving end of Jedi preaching one time too many.
Kenobi doesn’t share his reluctance. “Why did you do it?”
“It was us or them,” Alpha says, dispassionate. The Jedi aren’t up to a war, and it shows; even now, there’s reproach written plain across the general’s face.
“We could’ve made good use of the information they had,” he persists.
“The information they might have had,” Alpha corrects. “We’ve never taken prisoners, Kenobi. Now isn’t a good time to start.”
“You can’t know for sure they were an immediate threat.”
“It looked pretty clear to me,” Alpha says, wrestling with a temper made sharper by fatigue. “If we’d waited any longer, we would’ve suffered more casualties.”
It’s as much of a jab at Kenobi as it is a simple fact, and the general seems to recognize it as such. He doesn’t jump to defend himself; instead, his shoulders slump with resignation.
And maybe it isn’t fair to nip at his heels when Kenobi is just as exhausted as any of the men, but he accepted his rank along with the rest of the Order. If they’re only just now realizing that the war isn’t fair… well, that’s outside of Alpha’s responsibilities.
“You shouldn’t have done it,” Kenobi says softly, like he doesn’t have the energy to make it an accusation.
“Because it goes against your code?” Alpha asks pointedly. “I sleep better knowing my men are alive and in one piece, thanks.”
Kenobi doesn’t understand. Alpha doesn’t expect him to.
Kenobi watches him, all thin-lipped disapproval, and Alpha stares back. Truthfully, he doesn’t know where the general is going to jump next. But what’s done is done, and Alpha would do it all over again if it meant securing his men’s safety.
Kenobi opens his mouth, then closes it without another word.
Alpha reckons he’s got a good idea what the general is thinking. Too independent, too unpredictable - too much like Jango. Too late for the Jedi to back out on the army they asked for.
“You’re not - ”
“What you imagined I would be when the Kaminiise handed us to you?”
That’s not fair, either, but then Jango taught them to fight dirty.
Still, Alpha can feel his skin prickling like it did in training, when he or one of his batch took things a step too far and the Kaminoans circled closer. Kenobi will hardly take his impertinence up with the Kaminiise - faulty product, please correct in the next model - but the unease sets in all the same, leaving him feeling both wrong-footed and defiant. A defense mechanism, only Kenobi is still letting himself be used as target practice.
“I think,” Kenobi says at last, “we could learn a thing or two from each other.”
“Probably so,” Alpha allows.
The general offers a thin smile. “I can feel your doubt in the Force.” His expression softens, like he senses more than just skepticism, but he spares Alpha the details.
Alpha returns a half-smile of his own. “Whatever you say, sir.”

hi! i'm so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, i also suffer from migraines and they're the worst. i was hoping to request levi and his s/o (who only recently started dating) and they're playing around, like play fighting/wrestling, and his s/o finds that he's extremely ticklish and a little embarrassed by it bc he had no idea?🥺 (but of course that's how s/o wins the fight hehe) thank you for taking the time to even just read this!
A/N: Hi anon! Thank you for the kind words, I’m feeling better now! Thankfully, my migraines don’t happen very often, but when they do, they are really bad. But I haven’t had one for a little while so that’s good! I’m sorry you suffer from them too, they really are the worst 🙄. Thank you for requesting! This was a really sweet, fluffy request and I really enjoyed writing it. Embarrassed Levi is cutest Levi. I hope this was what you were looking for! Enjoy! ❤️❤️

🔥Unexpected Sensitivity🔥

“Asshole.”
(Y/N) barely managed to refrain from rolling her eyes as she tried to ignore the raven-haired man sitting on the opposite end of the couch and turned back to her book. She was able to get through another two sentences before a loud huff and a low grumble of annoyance once again drew her away from the story.
(Y/N) threw him a glare, “Levi, I told you, I am four fucking chapters away from finishing this book, can you please just entertain yourself until then? It won’t be much longer.” 
She gritted her teeth when Levi made no attempt to keep from rolling his eyes, sending a scowl right back at her, “I’m bored.”
“Well that’s too bad. Last time I checked, I was not your babysitter.”
Normally, (Y/N) enjoyed when Levi was needy for her attention. She loved how she was the only one who got to see that side of him. Their relationship was relatively new, so she had had to work hard to get him to open up around her. She was proud that she had finally managed to get him to relax around her, of how far he’d come, and it made her heart melt when he craved her affection, like a cat begging to be petted.
But recently, Levi had been begging for her attention a lot. She had no idea what had made these past few days so different, but it was starting to wear her out. Now, whenever he wasn’t working, he wanted to be at the center of her attention, no matter if she was already busy, and it was starting to grate on her nerves a little. 
Was it really too much to ask to let her finish her book? She was known to be a very quick reader, it shouldn’t have taken long, but she had barely made a dent in the last few chapters because she was constantly being distracted.
Levi frowned at her and crossed his arms. He really was acting like a petulant child, and while it was annoying as hell, a part of (Y/N) couldn’t deny that she found it a little cute. Especially since she knew his behavior was coming from a place of love. She hadn’t forgotten how lucky she was to even have him acting like this with her, but that didn’t mean she had to enjoy it every time. Especially when he was being this intense about it.
“Asshole.”
“Levi, for the love of god!” (Y/N) snapped, slamming her book shut and tossing it to the side. “How hard is it for you to just let me read four bloody chapters? I told you I would give you attention as soon as I was done! I just wanted to know the ending, you know this is a book I’ve been looking forward to finishing for days.”
Levi raised an eyebrow at her, “Is some boring old book more interesting to you than me?”
Oh my god. She was going to kill him.
(Y/N) took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm, “Of course not, Levi. But that doesn’t mean I have to be with you every second of every day. I just wanted to know what happened in the end, that’s all. Why is that such a big deal?”
“Because I want you to cuddle me, damn it,” he mumbled, his eyes averted from her face and a light tinge of pink on his cheeks.
(Y/N) immediately felt her anger wash away. She could still feel a little bit of irritation prickling in her chest but she ignored it, choosing to focus more on the warm feeling that blossomed throughout her whole body at his words. Yes, her boyfriend could be annoying as hell sometimes, but she couldn’t deny how adorable he was, wanting affection but embarrassed by the fact. She didn’t show it, but she was proud of him for even gaining the courage to say something. While they had only been dating for two months, she had never heard him directly ask for anything, it was always buried beneath a mask of sarcasm or annoyance.
Levi watched her features soften and felt the corners of his lips curl upwards as she sighed, knowing he had finally won. He knew that when she sighed like that, she was going to give in. His heart warmed at the thought that she found him difficult to resist, even when she was clearly annoyed with him.
He knew he was being shitty, but he just couldn’t help it. Not with her anyway. She was not his first girlfriend by any means, but she was the first girl he felt he had a genuine connection with. The first girl he genuinely loved. His past girlfriends had been nothing but trials, mostly set up by his friends, trying to show him that dating could be fun. He hadn’t believed them until he met (Y/N).
Now, he couldn’t get enough. He knew it was partially unfair to her, even if he knew she  secretly loved it. He knew he was being invasive and annoying but at the moment, he just didn’t care. He was aching to feel her pressed against him, her arms wrapped lovingly around his waist and her head on his shoulder. His arms itched to pull her close and relish in the way she fit perfectly against him, as if they had been made for each other. He had never felt this way with anyone else, but now that he had, he craved it. He had never realized just how touch-starved he was until (Y/N) entered his life, and now he burned to be by her side, even if she didn’t always want him there.
“Alright, fine. But you have to promise to let me finish my book later, okay?”
(Y/N)’s words snapped him out of his thoughts and he nodded too quickly for it to be as nonchalant as he wanted it to look. (Y/N) rolled her eyes affectionately and gave him a warm smile that had his heart beating a swift tattoo against his chest.
Levi moved his legs from where they had been laying lengthwise on the sofa cushions as (Y/N) approached, turning his body so he was seated normally, giving her the room to settle down beside him. He immediately felt himself relax as soon as she curled up against him, a satisfied sigh leaving his parted lips.
“Relieved are you?” (Y/N) teased.
Levi thought about teasing her back, but suddenly found himself too sleepy to engage in their usual banter, her comforting presence making him feel drowsy. “Yes.”
(Y/N)’s cheeks heated, not expecting the straightforward answer, “I’m still mad at you for being so obnoxious.”
“Mm.”
“And you’re not sorry for it at all, are you?”
“Mm, no.”
“Pain in the ass,” (Y/N) mumbled affectionately, nuzzling her face into his chest.
(Y/N) was just about to drift off, enjoying the comfort of cuddling with her boyfriend despite her earlier reluctance, when a sudden sharp jab in her side made her jolt up with a yelp.
“Ow! What the hell, Levi!?”
“You called me a pain in the ass,” Levi grumped.
“Yeah, so? You called me an asshole. Twice!” (Y/N) said, leaning over to give him a hard poke in the shoulder.
“Tch,” Levi said, giving her another poke, this time on her thigh.
(Y/N)’s retaliation quickly led to a fierce battle between the two, annoyed huffs devolving into genuine chuckles and shrieks of joy as the two fought, the war only growing more intense when (Y/N) straddled Levi’s thighs to better reach him.
“Brat, stop poking me!”
“You stop poking me, then!”
“Fine,” Levi said, the mischievous look on his face making (Y/N) nervous.
Before she could react, Levi pushed her off of him and pinned her to the couch, hovering over her. (Y/N) laughed, her eyes sparkling, “Oh, how romantic, Levi.”
Levi snorted at her as he moved lower, slinking down her body, his own eyes twinkling with barely suppressed mirth.
“Levi? What are you doing?”
“You told me to stop poking you, so I stopped. But that doesn’t mean this is over.”
“What the fuck does that mean- AH!” (Y/N) cried out in surprise as Levi’s fingers ran up the bottoms of her feet. “LEVI!”
Levi merely chuckled in response, reaching down to tickle her feet again. He smirked when she writhed and squirmed beneath his strong grip, tears of desperation spilling from the corners of her eyes as her loud laughter filled the apartment.
“Levi! Levi, stop! I can’t- I can’t breathe!”
Levi thought about letting up, but he was having too much fun. He quickly doubled down on his efforts, laughing quietly at the loud squeal she let out in response, trying to jerk her feet from his touch.
(Y/N) was getting desperate. He had her pinned by the hips to the couch with his incredible strength and he wasn’t stopping his assault on her poor feet. She tried to wrench them  from his grip to no avail, his cocky smile and bright silver hues making her want to slap that look of smugness off of his face. 
Frantically looking for a way to escape, (Y/N) suddenly remembered that her hands weren’t being held down. She had her own fingers she could use. She knew it would be no use trying to pry his fingers off, he was much too strong for that, so she did the next best thing.
She blindly latched onto him, her fingers flying over his skin as she searched for a weak point, a tender spot, anything. Levi was finally starting to slow down his attack, his fingers only lightly brushing her skin to watch her jump while she caught her breath, but she was determined to get back at him.
“(Y/N)? What are you doing?” Levi asked, finally taking his fingers away from her sensitive skin and leaning back on his haunches. His eyebrow rose when she followed him, her hands still moving all over his body.
“What do you think I’m doing, idiot?”
Levi smirked down at the woman that was now back in his lap, her brow furrowed in concentration as she poked and prodded beneath his shirt, practically feeling him up as she tried to find where he was the most sensitive.
“Nice try, brat. But unfortunately for you, I’m not tickLISH-!”
(Y/N) and Levi both froze.
Levi’s jaw dropped, his eyes wide and his hands loosened from where they had been holding onto (Y/N)’s waist. He had never, in his entire life, made a noise like that before. It sounded like the cross between a yelp of surprise and a barked out laugh. He was still uncertain if it had indeed been him that had made the noise, it sounded so unlike him, so foreign to his ears he couldn’t be sure.
(Y/N) was just as shocked. Had Levi really just squawked? That was probably the only way you could describe the noise that had just come from her boyfriend’s mouth, even though it seemed like the kind of word you would never in a million years associate with Levi Ackerman.
While she was certainly surprised, she recuperated faster than Levi, a deviant smile spreading across her face as she suddenly realized the power she held. She noticed Levi’s eyes narrow on her borderline evil expression, but his dazed state made his reaction time slower than normal. Before he knew it, he was on his back, her legs straddled over his hips, his wrists held in one of her hands while the other was snaking back beneath his shirt, aiming for the spot along his upper ribs.
He tried to squirm away, but he underestimated her strength as she pressed her full weight into him and tightened her grip on his wrists, holding him there as she brushed her fingers along the spot that he hadn’t even known would make him go crazy.
To his horror, another loud cry was ripped from his throat, quickly turning into loud, rich laughter that rang out and bounced off the walls as she tickled him. He tried to flash her a warning glare but she only smiled wider, followed by a slight shake of her head.
Fuck, she was going to show no mercy.
Tears gathered in his eyes as she continued to attack the sensitive flesh in the same way he did to her, his body losing all control. He wriggled and arched, trying to escape her torturous fingers, until he was finally able to free one of his hands. (Y/N) tried to hold on, but as soon as one of his hands was free, she was quickly shoved off of him, her own laughter joining his as she was pushed from the couch to land with a satisfying thump on the carpet below.
Levi’s laughter was quick to quiet into soft chuckles before finally fading into heavy breathing, the apartment thick with silence as the pair fought to catch their breath, unwilling to move for a while.
“Whew,” (Y/N) said, eventually breaking the silence. “Who knew the fearsome Levi Ackerman was ticklish, huh?”
(Y/N) was smiling, a hand coming up to cover her mouth to stifle the giggles that tried to filter into the room at her teasing, but when he didn’t respond, (Y/N) grew worried.
“Levi?”
(Y/N) sat up, and quickly lost all feelings of giddiness at the sight of Levi, turned away from her with his knees brought up to his chest, his hands covering his face, and his back hunched slightly, so different from how he normally was it almost made her panic.
“Levi! Are you alright?”
It took him a moment, but Levi eventually nodded once, refusing to remove his hands from his face. His response calmed (Y/N) down somewhat, but concern still coursed through her as she gently eased onto the couch beside him, her palm reaching out to rest on his back.
“Levi, what’s wrong?”
A quiet mumble reached her ears, but his hands were muffling most of the words. Even when she strained her ears she couldn’t understand what he was saying, but she did notice his face get a tinge more pink, especially on the tips of his ears.
“I’m sorry, babe, I couldn’t hear you. Can you repeat that?”
Levi huffed in annoyance, and it was enough to bring another small smile back onto (Y/N)’s face. He then shifted his hands, uncovering only enough to free his mouth.
“I said, I’m… embarrassed…” He trailed off at the end, the last word much quieter than the others, but (Y/N) heard him loud and clear. She immediately felt a wave of relief and guilt wash over her.
“Oh, I’m so sorry, Levi. I really didn’t mean to embarrass you like that, I thought we were just having fun. I never want you to feel uncomfortable around me, ever. I’m sorry, I never should’ve pushed your boundaries like that.”
Levi finally removed his hands from his face and turned around to look at her. His face was still red and his eyes were slightly swollen from the tears he had shed during their intense battle but his expression was soft. He reached up and brushed his fingers along her jaw, affectionately stroking her skin.
“It’s not your fault. I attacked you first,” Levi said. “I didn’t even mind it that much at first, I just didn’t expect to react… like that.”
“Levi, it’s okay! Everyone reacts like that, that’s why nobody likes to be tickled. I mean, you heard me! I didn’t sound any better.”
Levi smirked, the beginnings of a sparkle coming back into his eye, “Yeah, you sounded like a donkey with a sore throat. Or maybe a dying bird.”
“Hey!” (Y/N) said, slapping his shoulder playfully with a false pout. “That’s mean!”
“But true.”
“Oh, do we want to go back to what you sounded like?”
“Oi, watch it, brat.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
Levi gave (Y/N) a light-hearted shove before standing up to stretch, his shirt riding up to show off a bit of his muscular back as he brought his arms above his head. (Y/N) followed him with a large grin on her face when he moved into the kitchen, intent on making tea and forgetting the whole experience. They lapsed into a comfortable silence as Levi heated the water and (Y/N) grabbed the tea leaves, the pair working together seamlessly despite their short time spent as a couple.
When the tea was finally finished, Levi offered a cup to (Y/N), who took it gratefully, before leaning against the counter and taking a sip. (Y/N) watched as Levi closed his eyes and hummed in pleasure at the taste, his body finally starting to unwind again. Her eyes swept over him, her heart beating a steady drum for the man beside her. She loved him so much, felt so lucky to have him, and while the tickle fight had certainly been an experience, she couldn’t wait to have many more adventures just like that with him by her side.
“Hey, Levi?”
“Yeah brat?”
“For the record, I think your laugh is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.”
