Levi smirked, his fingers pinching her nipple. He groaned at the pressure in his hair and pulled his head back slightly. “We both know you like marking me too much to limit yourself to places only you get to see. You like marking me, letting everyone know that I’m yours and yours alone.”

Valentine smiled a bit at the familiar voice that responded to her. They were like moths drawn to a flame- Levi and Valentine never able to stay apart. “That’s exactly what I mean love.” She turned to him and tilted her head a bit. “It’s been quiet. No one’s tried to kill anyone in weeks, if that isn’t cause for a party I don’t know what is.”

“I’m not your love, Valentine.” Levi’s voice was quiet, resigned. He hadn’t expected anything else from her response but her constant attempts to worm herself back into his good graces were growing downright exhausting. “Are you offering to host? I’m sure that would really impress the society women you’re attempting to suck up to.”

“Damn straight we are.” Levi groaned and let his head fall back as Atalia nipped at his neck. His hand slid along the side of her body to her breast, this thumb brushing along everywhere but her nipple. “My hand would be glued to your ass at the minimum.”

“Merlin everyone is so dull lately. It’s like someone died or something.” Valentine mused before taking a drink from her glass. Being stuck in side the Avery manor had made the blonde notoriously grumpy. She was looking for either some fun or to ruin someone else’s day.

“Or maybe it’s a refreshing break from all the tragedy that’s been occurring lately. I, for one, am relieved things are relatively quiet.” Levi knew that answer Valentine would lead to no good and that this time it would be entirely his own fault. But the liquor in his glass loosened his tongue and Atalia was not there to stop him.

Levi slipped the shirt off her body an threw it behind him on the floor before pulling her bra off and letting it slip off his fingers and onto the floor. Leaning back he let Atalia pull his shirt off, not exerting any effort of his own to help her. “When I look like this? Have you seen yourself?”

“Fuck I love how selfish you are.” His hand slid off her breast to reach her bra clasp. With ease he undid it and slid his hand back down to grab the hem of her shirt and pull it up. “Lift up your arms,” he commanded in a firm voice, leaving no room for questions.

“Some might say a little too well, but who am I to complain?” Her eyes dropped down to watch him kiss her hand, enamored by the action. Barely hearing what he said, it took her a moment before she responded. “You take that back, Levi! I’ll always be a Slytherin, just with a soft spot for a Gryffindor.” The smirk fell from her lips as he squeezed her ass, causing her to bit her lip fro a completely different reason than her happiness.

The wall. She pushed off the ground, wrapping her legs around his waist and locking her arms behind his neck until she felt the wall behind her. There was a few voices, but she paid them no attention. “Annoy now,” she said with a quick nod. “Who cares if our neighbors like us.” Atalia chuckled and curled her hand into his hair, her lips pressing against his.

“Who said that? I’ll kick their ass.” Finishing up with her pinkie he brought the ring up to his lips. Shooting her an innocent smile he leaned down for another kiss. “Never. Red truly does suit you. It matches your temper. Green is far too cool for you.” He nipped at her lip. “I better be the only Gryffindor you have a soft spot for. You know I don’t share very well.”

Her words only egged him on and Levi leaned in to press a bruising kiss to her lips. “Not me, that’s for sure.” He pressed his hips against hers, groaning as his jeans tightened. One hand tightened on her ass while his other slid under her shirt and up her body to cup her breast. “You are wearing entirely too much right now, future Mrs. Yaxley.”

As soon as he stepped back toward her, she placed her hand on his torso, glancing down at the ring. “And I’ll never get tired of wearing it. It’s far better than any of those traditional rings.” Her gaze moved up to look him in the eye, pulling her bottom lip in between her teeth. It still didn’t seem real, even standing in the main room of their little apartment, that she might actually have a chance to stay this happy.

“Our bed could use a break?” Atalia chuckled and let her hands travel down his torso and around his ribs, tucking them into his back pockets. “So we break the kitchen in first?” She pressed closer to him. “Or the shower? Maybe we rest and break it in later just to annoy the neighbors–that sounds the most fun.” Leaning up to kiss him, she let her mouth move along to the corner of his mouth, his jaw and then his neck. Eventually pulling away, she smirked up at him. “Or if you want to rest, I can model one of those shirts of yours that I like so much…really, it’s up to you, love.”

Levi reached up to press his hand against hers, his fingers rubbing along the ring. “What can I say? I know my fiancee.” Intertwining his fingers with hers he brought her hand up to his lips and pressed a tender kiss to each finger. “Diamonds don’t suit you anyways. You may have been a Slytherin but red is definitely your color.”

Rolling his eyes Levi reached out to drape one arm across her hips, just above her ass. “Very creative interpretation of my words, Atalia.” Twisting his lips into a smirk he slid his hand down to her ass and gave it a squeeze. “How about the wall?” He brought his other hand to her thigh and lifted her up. He carried her to the wall he pushed her against it with a booming thud. Voices piped up from the next apartment but Levi ignored them. “We could annoy the neighbors right now.”

“You’ve got a point,” she said, lifting one shoulder in a shrug. Atalia had to bite her lip to suppress the smile on her face. It wasn’t that she hadn’t ever been as happy as this–it was easy to be happy around Levi–but this feeling was different. She didn’t feel like she had to look over her shoulder, like she could finally relax in her own home. “I almost forgot…” Removing her hands from his torso, she reached back and unclasped her necklace, dropping the ring from the chain and into her hand. Atalia pocketed the chain and slipped the ring on her hand–on the correct finger.

The name caught her attention again. Miss Nott–Merlin, she couldn’t wait to be rid of that name. Atalia laughed as he jumped, but leaned into the kiss, only to poke his ribs again. “Come on, love, I think this is the only time I’ll be excited to unpack boxes.” She pulled away from him, slipping her hand into his to pull him with her, but she only made it as far as the doorway before stopping. “Or maybe we can break that bed in…Or both?”

“Of course I have a point. I’m usually right after all.” A wide smile spread across Levi’s face as she took the ring off its chain and slipped it onto her finger. With the ring on a chain things didn’t feel quite real. But seeing it there, that was proof of their future together. “I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing that ring on your finger.”

He jumped once again, scowling down at Atalia. “That’s enough of that. Don’t make me tickle you back.” A groan left his lips as she pulled away. He could have stood there with her in his arms all day and Levi was at the point where if he saw another box he would probably crack. “I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use a break. And so could our bed.” He smirked and stepped to follow her.

She never thought she’d feel safe outside the boundries of the wizarding community, yet here she was, standing on the balcony with no fear. Biting her lip, she leaned back into him. “We have a house–or, well, a few rooms, but still.” Atalia let herself stare at the surrounding buildings for a few more moments before she rotated in his arm, looking up at him. “I’d say pinch me, but if this is a dream, I want a few more minutes.”

Pushing up on to her toes, Atalia kissed him, lingering just shortly before she was smiling again–beaming. She dropped back down to her feet, peering over his shoulder at the bags and boxes in the living room. “It’s too late for you to be getting sick of me now, Yaxley. We still need to go furniture shopping.” The teasing was light-hearted, her finger poking into his side as she said the words. “And you’ll soon find out how horrible of a cook I am without a house elf. Are you sure you still want to do this?”

Levi smiled and looked out past the balcony. Their apartment overlooked a street and from the balcony he could hear the hustle and bustle from down below. It was going to be a pain in the ass while he was trying to sleep after a night shift, but in the moment it was oddly calming. “A few rooms is enough for me. How many rooms did we actually use back in the Manors anyways?”  He loosed his grip on her just enough for her to turn. “If this is a dream then we must be having the same one.”

He returned the kiss as he let his hands fall down to rest lightly on her hips. A stupid grin was probably spread across his face but Levi didn’t give a damn. “I don’t think I could ever get sick of you, Miss Nott. Even while furniture shopping.” Her finger jabbed into his ribs, right into a ticklish spot. He jumped back, a mock glare etched across his face. “That was uncalled for.” Softening his gaze, he leaned down to kiss her once more. “As sure as I’ve ever been in my life.”

It had been a rough few weeks, that was easy to admit, but Atalia let herself feel a little hopeful. After looking at apartments and stocking up on money, she and Levi were able to sign a lease on a small apartment. Though she hadn’t planned to move out of the Nott Manor so soon, she was thankful for the chance. Even now, lugging a few bags up the stairs, she could feel the excitement running through her body. The door had already been unlocked, the first round of bags and boxes already sitting in the living room.

The apartment was small, a rather large change from the Nott Manor. The only difference is that it wasn’t as suffocating–ironic, considering how much smaller the one bedroom was. Atalia made her way to check out the balcony, smiling as soon as the fresh air hit her lungs. It wasn’t glamorous by any means, but it was theirs. “Hey,” she called over her shoulder as soon as she heard someone else in the apartment. “Can you believe this is ours?”

{ @levi-yaxley }

As far as Levi was concerned, moving day hadn’t come soon enough. It wasn’t that things were getting worse in Yaxley Manor. Truth be told topping the fear, anger, and depression that hid in every corner of the manor was damn near impossible. But with the carrot of a new life with Atalia dangling over his head, Levi quickly grew restless in the weeks leading up to the move. The moment they signed the lease sheer relief passed through his body, relieving tension he didn’t even know he’d been holding.

The mostly muggle neighborhood had been a safety measure; Theodore and Leviticus would never think to look for their miscreant children among such “inferior” crowd. It did make moving in slightly inconvenient. Levi’s arms were burning from the weight of the box in his arms as he walked through the open door into their new home. A smile crossed his face at Atalia’s voice as he set the box down in the middle of the floor and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Yes. I can. We deserve this. We deserve to be happy.”

“I don’t believe in Luck,” she said softly. Atalia didn’t want to wait and hope for the best–she’d rather get the job done and know for sure the men were dead. Pulling away from Levi, she made the move to start walking again, but stopped to hold her hand out to Levi. “Let’s go home.”

Levi nodded and reached out to take her hand. “Good idea.” It didn’t need stating that Atalia didn’t mean Nott or Yaxley Manor. He squeezed her hand tightly as they walked down the street, a touch of excitement and hope filling his body.

“Alright. Well you better get your rest then.” She still didn’t think that a mere fifteen minute nap would do much more than make Levi even more tired than he already was. But she wouldn’t argue with him over it. Briony flicked back open the prophet. “Have more people been in the hospital than usual lately?”

He shrugged. “There’s been a fair number. But I’ve just been picking up extra shifts to get more experience in.”

“A good kind of busy then I hope. If there can really be a thing called good busy.” A happy distraction even, something to drive purpose into life while others tried to strip you of it. “Glad to hear.” Alice nodded with a half a smile, almost not able to crack an expression at all. “I don’t know if numb is the word, because I always feel in pain, but I… expect it.”

“I think that as long as you’re enjoying what you’re doing and you’re enjoying being busy then there is such a thing as good busy.” Levi returned her small smile. He knew exactly what she was talking about though he disagreed on her definition. With a slight chuckle he replied, “I think that’s what numb means.”

As soon as he stepped closer, she dropped her head to his shoulder, taking in a shaky breath. Her own words echoed in her head. We need to be able to talk to each other–though she knew if she ever brought up the attack with Loraly, neither Levi or Chryson would ever let it go, so she played it off. “Things will be better,” she said, finally lifting her head to look at him. “But I don’t think we’ll ever be free until they’re six feet under.” It was dark, especially for her to say out loud with people around, but she was done holding her tongue about their families.

Levi sighed and tightened his grip on Atalia. Emotions were high for both of them at the moment but he didn’t miss the shakiness in her breath. A dark thought crossed his mind and he let out a low chuckle. “Maybe we’ll get lucky and the Blood Thieves will do something actually useful and take them out for us.”

[levi-yaxley]

thegrassisnottalwaysgreener:

“Alright. Are you sure that fifteen minutes is all you need? You seem tired.” Briony looked up from the paper in her hands. There was nothing of any real importance or intrigue within its pages anyways. 

Levi nodded slowly and brought his hand up to stifle a yawn. “I just need a little power nap and I’ll be fine.” What he would really kill for was a cup of coffee, but standing up once again to go make one himself seemed like far too much effort. “I’ve just been keeping busy, that’s all.”

[levi-yaxley]

bristolxcorner:

“No?” A soft sigh of relief made it clear that that had been worrying her, but then that news also lead to her worrying about other things. “Then I’m worried you’re working too hard if you’re this exhausted. But we can talk later. Sleep, Levi, I’ll wake you in a bit.” 

“No nightmares. Just a desire to keep busy and prove myself, that’s all.” He reached over and squeezed Bristol’s hand. “You and Atalia both.” Levi sighed as his eyes drifted shut once again. Try as he might Levi drifted off into nothing.

His eyes drifted open and Levi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still in the St. Mungo’s staff lounge. With a loud groan he sat up and stretched out his arms before looking at Bristol again. “How long was I out?”
