the train was packed today, every seat had a passenger, and standing space was very limited. you felt like a canned sardine being stuffed body to body in the train car. you tried to grip onto the overhead handrail when the train lurched forward, you lost your balance causing you to fall into the person behind you.
thankfully the person caught you before you hit the ground, you knew it would’ve been a hard fall.
strong arms wrapped around your waist, “don’t worry, i got you” you took a sharp breath in, feeling dazed by the masculine voice speaking lowly into your ear. the man helped you right yourself, still keeping a steady hand on your waist as you got readjusted.
feeling completely mortified, you turned to face the man to apologize for your clumsiness. all coherent thoughts came to a complete halt when your gaze finally met his. you were in absolute awe of the beautiful stranger that kept a protective hand over your waist. the man had sharp masculine features while carrying an air of elegance at the same time, the combination created an intoxicating aura that made your head spin.
the man raised a brow, staring at you quizzically as he tried to read your face. you stared into his grey eyes still not being able to form words, time seemed to slow around the two of you.
the train reached its next stop, many passengers shuffled out of the sliding doors allowing you more space to breathe.
his words broke you out of your daze, “hey, are you okay?”
you tried to laugh off your embarrassment, “oh! ha, yeah i’m okay, sorry for falling all over you. i’m usually more careful than that.”
a smile tugged at the corner of the man's lips, “no apologies necessary, it was so trouble at all.” his hand left your side as he reached for his discarded book on the ground. “though, you did make me lose my place, and it was just getting good” he said teasingly, as he flipped through the pages.
you laughed at his jest, “well in that case i can assure you, an apology is definitely necessary. let me buy you a coffee, that would surely make up for it.”
the man looked at you thoughtfully, as you prayed that he would take you up on your offer.
time seemed to slow once again as you waited for his response.
the train jutted forward again, on its way to the next stop. the man instinctively grabbed onto your waist afraid that you would lose your balance. you eyes went wide as you fell into his embrace, his lips hovered just above yours.
“i’m not big on coffee, can we do tea instead?”
you let out a sigh of relief, “tea works for me.”
the man hummed at your response.

the man guided you off the train at the next stop, “before we share a cup of tea, i suppose i should introduce myself properly, i’m levi. and you are?”
