Levi combed his fingers through the back of Archer’s silky blond hair. And where do your thoughts & affections lie, huh? he murmured softly, meeting the man’s adoring gaze.

At this exact moment? Archer chortled. Right in front of me. 

The singer studied the blond’s face intensely, fighting the urge to kiss him. It was increasingly difficult to resist his ex when he was near. He bit his bottom lip, nodding. Good. Then I guess his gift is right where it belongs. You don’t really want them anyway, do you?

Out of the corner of his eye, Archer noticed someone step into the room. Immediately he tensed as he recognized the bright red hair. Levi... he hissed quietly.

The man laughed at his odd reaction. Do you want your stupid flowers? 

Levi, are you hungry? Archer whispered, hoping he would notice their visitor before he made this situation look any worse. The blond tried to shy away but Levi urged him to stay. It’s lunchtime. I’m sure you’re hungry.

That’s really sweet of your boyfriend to bring you lunch.

Levi’s eyes grew wide as he slowly looked towards the doorway. Shane stood staring at them, a brown bag in his hand & a confused look on his face. Quickly the brunette hopped off of the table to greet him. Hey, thanks babe. That’s so awesome. What did you bring? You’re eating with me, right?

Archer jumped out of his chair, more than ready to escape the awkward tension that hung heavily in the room. I’m going to go get ready for my next class, he mumbled as he tried to breeze past the couple. Not wanting to make eye contact, he made sure he kept his eyes down. 

Your class? Are you.. You’re working here now? Shane asked, now more concerned than ever before about his boyfriend’s late arrival home after work. 

The blond laughed nervously. I’m just covering for my dad actually so it’s not like.. a regular thing. 

Shane nodded slowly. Just for today or... ?

Oh my, Levi snickered as he walked into Owen & Grant’s office. Those are some very lovely flowers, blondie.

You think? Archer groaned, thinking back over the card that had accompanied them. If you like them so much, you can have them. 

From the husband? the brunette asked, sauntering forward confidently.

Archer sighed loudly. Of course. Yet another reminder of his thoughts & affections. 

Hearing the distinct sounds of movement, Archer headed straight into Levi’s classroom the next morning. There he stood, erasing the board & getting ready to start his day. For a moment the blond paused & considered turning around. The man’s unusual silence had worried him but he knew Levi would come to him if he’d in fact ended things with Shane.

As he stepped back, Levi glanced over at him. Hey, blondie, he smiled. 

Hey handsome, Archer replied quietly. I haven’t heard from you since you left here yesterday. How did everything go last night?

Levi sighed deeply, shaking his head. Sorry but it didn’t. I didn’t talk to him like I had wanted to. 

Did you change your mind? The words came tumbling out of his mouth & he immediately kicked himself for his own fears & insecurities. 

Quite the contrary!! You’re definitely one of my favorite followers *HUGE HUGS* because you put up with my shit & sat through so much of it all at once ;-; Thank you for asking!!

16. What are they like when they’ve gotten too little sleep?

Archer: Levi gets sooo grumpy. Pretty sure he shuffles around growling most of the day *imitates growling dog*

Levi: *eye roll* Says the drama queen over here. Archer is such a whiny little girl when he doesn’t get enough sleep!

17. What are they like when they’re drunk?

Levi: I get really bold & confident, like I can impress the pants off of anyone if I tried… & I did for a while.

Archer: Eww… You’re such a slut.

Levi: But now I’m your slut again, blondie ;)

Arhcer: When I’m drunk? Inhibitions out the window… along with my clothes usually :x I’m also a bit of a sentimental drunk so I get all sappy & lovey dovey.

30. Sunrise or sunset?

Archer: Sunset. I’m a bit of a romantic & I love sitting close, watching the sun fade away, kissing as day turns to night.

Levi: As great as that sounds, no way. Sunrise. I just… I remember all the sleepovers we had as kids & all the camping trips we took over the years. We would stay up all night talking, making out, making love *smirks* We’d lose track of time & would end up watching the sun come up before we finally crashed close to one another. So perfect.

Archer: Yeah… I totally change my answer to that. 

60. What is something that they’re sure to laugh at?

Levi: Archer trying to cook *snickers*

When the time came for his guests to leave, Levi led them both to the front door. They’d had a great night, good food & good company all around. Even though he was trying to just enjoy the night, Levi couldn’t help but remember the kiss he’d shared earlier in the night with his ex-fiance. It had confirmed everything that he had always hoped; there was still something between him & Archer. 

As they all bid each other a good night, he made sure to say goodbye to Jodi first. As Archer tried to make his leave right behind her, Levi grabbed the blond’s soft cotton sleeve & pulled him back into the doorway. Without a word, their lips met as Archer pulled his body in closer to his own. 

It was exactly the result that Levi had been hoping for. The feelings that he had rushing through him were mutual. After so many years, the attachment that he & his ex had was still as undeniable as it had ever been.
