Left to My Own Devices [Levi, Loukas]

Ahh, what a lovely place this City of Lights was! Honestly, Levi'd sort of expected it would disappoint, with such a big fancy title like that. You'd need a lot of lights to merit being called a whole city of them, you know, and comparing to others cities like France or Las Vegas or whatever would be pretty rough. But it was a pretty pleasant surprise to see it so bright!

Taking a seat to look over the map on his phone, Levi idly twirled his hair around his finger with his free hand, one leg crossed over the other as he thought about where to go next. Mmmm... There were a few bars it looked like, some restaurants, but there wasn't anything he was really seeing that just...popped! Ya know?

Well wasn't that just a complete shame! Leaning back against the bench as he slid his phone into his pocket, Levi continued toying with his hair as he scanned the surroundings. There'd have to be something fun around here... Oh! Or someone, my my my~! With a grin that seemed almost distressingly pleased with himself, as if it were some great feat to have simply seen someone, Levi approached the vision of loveliness he'd spotted-- one brown-haired Sueki, to be precise.

"Excuse me, but are you from around here? I'm not quite up to speed on the whole area yet. Hope ya don't mind if I ask you some questions~"

"Aha, I see, I see~"

Levi's tone was almost musical for all the whimsy in his voice, his enjoyment at this prospect not especially subtle. Of course, why should he be subtle about it? Such an absolutely precious find, it was everything he could do not to just take his hand and whisk him away somewhere quieter. Oh, but that wouldn't be very romantic at all, now would it? Not a pleasant thought, not at all!

"Well, if we're both a little lost on where to go, then I'd think it would be good if we kept a close eye on each other, don't you? It's dangerous to go alone in a big city, especially when you're sure to draw so much attention."

His little spiel was punctuated by a laugh that bordered on girlish in nature, best described as a giggle in all truth. It wasn't necessarily that he was trying to tease his new exploration buddy, that would be rude. He just liked to make the conversation a little more interesting, that was all.

"Oh, I haven't even asked for your name. You can call me Levi, or anything else that pops into your head, really. Hearing your voice ought to be enough to catch my attention."

Well, maybe he was teasing a little.

Oh, he was just adorable! It was obvious Loukas was doing his best not to be too too forward, and yeah, that wasn't working totally as intended, but that was just part of his charm! Well, and that cute face under the hood didn't hurt either, if he was being totally honest, but Levi wasn't so shallow that he only cared about looks!

"Loukas, hmm~? I like that. It rolls off the tongue easy, ya know? It's fun to say. Loukas~"

Most people probably would have felt some degree of shame at saying something so mind-bogglingly inane, but Levi wasn't the sort for that level of self-reflection. Besides, was he really supposed to just hold his tongue when he was dealing with someone so precious?? There were plenty of things he wouldn't have minded doing with his tongue, but holding it wasn't super duper high on the list. Ack, no, no getting caught up in all those kinds of thoughts yet! Slow, steady, romantic!

"I didn't really have much of anything in mind, if I'm being honest with ya. I'd heard the City of Lights was a pretty place, so I thought I'd stop by. Thought they meant the city itself though, not the boys who lived in it."

Another effeminate giggle escaped his lips, accompanied by an equally effeminate gesture of covering his mouth with his fingertips as he laughed. It was just second nature, honestly, and he was enjoying himself.

"But I had been hoping to find somewhere to maybe get a nice meal, if you wanted to join me? And maybe a little bit of shopping, too."

Every little stutter and fidget of Loukas' only made Levi feel all the more self-assured that he had made a very good choice. Then again, he did have some pretty great taste, so it really just made sense that a guy he'd picked out would be completely perfect. Any idea that jumping right to "perfect" was probably getting ahead of himself was totally absent from his head-- well, a lot of things were, actually. But this was a question of confidence, not intelligence.

"Oho~ You think I'm prettier? Well, I normally wouldn't dispute that one. I am one tasty piece of bitch, after all." Levi actually had no idea what that even meant, but he was pretty sure he'd heard someone say it before, and he liked how it sounded. "Buuuut, I might have to give up my usual crown of hottest in town, least while I'm here. That's a pretty big deal, ya know."

Cute as Loukas was (and he was very cute, by the way) Levi wasn't the sort to just cultivate shyness. He was an outgoing boy, after all, and he wanted everyone to enjoy life like he did. Bringing a single finger under Loukas' chin, he brought the Sueki's face closer to his own, enough to ensure their gazes met.

"That sounds perfect. Heheen~"

And with a wink, he moved away from Loukas once more, just as quickly as he'd moved in close. He was already on the hunt for whatever shop he decided would be just perfect for their little date, eyes darting every which way. But, of course, he made sure Loukas' hand was right in his. They were going together, after all!

"Wohoah, the hottest person ever? Better be careful sayin' stuff like that, Lulu, you might give me a big head. And I'd never wanna seem cocky, it'd totally kill my charm!"

Levi's smile seemed almost innocent for all the joy in it, even if it was more or less impossible for the word "innocent" to ever go anywhere near him. He led the way through the City of Lights with what bordered on reckless abandon, only barely keeping himself from dragging Loukas around. This really was such a pretty city! But he was looking for somewhere to eat, so--

"Oh! Oh oh oh, look at that!"

Without actually gesturing toward anything in particular to indicate what he meant, Levi was off once more, still taking Loukas right along for the ride. It only took a few moments, and the two were in fact not in front of any sort of eatery, but what looked to just be a shop of assorted glasswork. His expression, however, had brightened even more from its already quite lively visage, as if this were the most exciting thing he had seen in his entire life.

"Do you like glass, Lulu? I think it's really neat, all the stuff they can do with it! I mean, how do they even put those little jellyfishes and stuff in the ones that look like water? Wouldn't it melt?"

Naturally, Loukas was not exempt from Levi's attentions either, even if they were mostly of the physical sort now due to his fascination by mundane glass art. His hand was being tugged with every question, as if he would have the answers Levi sought, and the riverboy was absolutely standing close enough that anyone walking by would reasonably assume they were a couple. Oooh, now that was a nice thought!
