   Summary

   Levi Ackerman has survived titans, explosions, trauma, and moody teenage soldiers, but nothing could’ve prepared him for Gabi’s morning bedhead or a tea shop with flavoured tea (Gah!).
   He’s retired now. Supposed to be relaxing. Instead, he's wrangling two war orphans, pretending he’s fine, and trying not to cry in museums. Then he finds a tiny tea shop run by someone too friendly for post-war reality. She smiles too much. Her desserts have ridiculous names. She keeps giving him tea for free. Clearly suspicious, and a possible drug lord. Levi keeps coming back anyway.
   Not because he likes it. Definitely not because of that.
