Promise me [Levi Ackerman x OC]

XLVII: Afraid

Both were in a comfortable silence for a while. "Haze?" Levi broke it after finishing his tea, "would you date me now that I'm not a cadet?" Hazel had to leave the book in the center table in front of the couch, she thought that he was joking but when she looked up at him, his face was serious. After that she sat making him looked at her with the same blanc expression. "Well?"

She sat over him, with both legs at his sides, wrapped her arms around his neck, smiled at him and rest her forehead with his. "Ackerman, I would even marry you if you were still a thug from the underground city. I was teasing you when I said that."

His hands went to rounded her waist and closed his eyes with a faint smile. "What did I do to deserve you?"

"That's a ridiculous question. You saved me, brat."

"And you saved me." He opened his eyes with a craving look for her lips, tightening his wrapping around her waist to made her closer.

He stood from the couch holding her and made a turn to placed her beneath his body on the couch. She wrapped her legs on his waist while Levi shortened their distance to start their make out session. One hand below her neck and the other below her waist. Her hand stroking his hair and the other already unleashing his gear strap over his chest, making him grunt.

"HAZEL IT'S TIME!" Both opened their eyes startled by the high pitch of voice that came from suddenly opened door. "You have to be kidding me! Hazel you said you were going to help me." Hange stood by the door with disappointed face, not looking disturb by interrupted them.

"You're always ruining something." Levi closed his eyes in fury and frustration with his hands at the sides of hazel's head. "Can't you see with those shitty glasses that we're busy here?"

"Hey, don't be so rude." Hazel pushed him gently off her and sat adjusting her clothes and hair. "It's my fault, I forgot I told her I was going to spend time with her." Levi looked displeased to her.

Hange had a winning face with a grin. "I'll see you at the lab." She left after sticking out her tongue to him.

"Are you seriously leaving in the middle of this?" His scowl was deep and his lips were tightly pressed together, his arms crossed over his chest, sour tone.

Hazel sat over like before to look at him and approached to his ear to whisper in a seducing low voice. "This could be your pending punishment." She heard him clicked his tongue and grunted. She backed off a bit to face him, but his eyes were avoiding her. She approached to his other ear. "I'll be back later, behave yourself, baby." With her hand, she caressed the other side of his neck and lowered it a bit to his collar bone while leaving a kiss below his ear, making him grunted again, now in pleasure.

He couldn't saw her leave and when she stood up, he pulled her by the strap at her lower back and caught her in his arms so she won't fall to the floor. She was with a smile and sparkling eyes looking at him. "Just... don't be late. You should rest." She nodded before giving him a quick kiss in the tip of the nose, he thought she was going for his lips so he prepared closing his eyes, but was caught in disappointment.

He was losing his head trying to figure out what to do in tomorrow's training as Captain. Erwin had let him be 'creative' since it was a novelty for everyone, he would be free like a section commander to train his soldiers as he wanted to.  While he was thinking, sipping tea after tea, and making some notes of strategies, which he ended crumpling and throwing them to the trash, he fell asleep at the chair of Hazel's desk.

He waked in sweat and gasping, disturbed by his nightmare. He went to the bathroom and washed his face trying to relax, feeling the cold water.

"Where the hell is she?"

Growling he made his way to Hange's lab to find her. After several knockings on the door, he just broke in after they didn't answered. The room was a mess. Arrows were everywhere, ropes hanging from different spots: the chandelier, the shelves, the windows. Hange was laid asleep in her carpet surrounded by books and papers and Hazel was laid in the couch with a book in hand.

"Oi, brats!" He said in a hard voice but not screaming. Hazel opened her eyes sleepy and Hange was startled for a second, looked at him, then went to sleep again. Hazel yawned before standing from the couch. "It's late and you haven't take your meds. What were you thinking?" He was a bit angry for her for being reckless.

"Thanks for coming for me." She yawned again and went beside him passing her arm behind his back and rest her head in his shoulder tired and drowsy. "I lost track of time."

He embraced her with one arm around her neck and started walking back to her office. "I told you that you needed to rest, brat."

They entered and she went straight to take her meds. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." She looked around and got notice of the several paper balls in the trash. "You were still trying to figuring out what to do tomorrow?" He didn't responded and preferred to get inside the room. She followed him in, taking her clothes off to put on her nightwear and he was already in bed. After washing her face and teeth, she got in bed below the cover and approached him, who was laying upside down and facing the other side of the room. She found it weird and laid on her side caressing his back with delicacy making him shiver. "What's wrong? Are you angry?" She waited for him to answer, but he didn't. "Are you preoccupied for your first day, captain? You'll do just fine, you are a good teacher, I can assure you that." She approached more to him and started kissing his shoulder and then up to his neck when he finally turned and laid on his side looking at her.

He could tell by her face that she was worried about him while combing his locks of hair that were in his forehead. He took her hand and planted a kiss over the knuckles. "I'm okay, come here." She approached him to cuddle, he combing her hair with one hand and the other, embracing her by the waist. She rested her head in his chest listening to his heart until she fall asleep.

Levi kept caressing her, treasuring every second. Of course he was worried, but not for the training. When he had wake up from the nightmare he realized how dependent he was now. If she wasn't there all he got was nightmares and lack of sleep, he was sure that he would never sleep this good if she wasn't next to him. The truth was: he was scared of losing her.

Hazel stretched herself after waking up, she rolled to the other side and she was alone. She sat in the bed adjusting her eyes and yawning when the door opened revealing Levi with a tray. "I brought you the breakfast."

Hazel felt butterflies in her stomach by how gentleman he was. "Thank you, sunshine." He placed it beside her over the bed and then kissed her forehead. "Is any special occasion?"

"You didn't ate last night, I thought you might be hungry."  She grabbed him by his cravat before he could straight up and brought him closer to her and gaving him a kiss.

"Just when I thought I couldn't love you more."

"Eat." He ordered her with a light smirk.

"Yes,captain."
