A few months have gone by and the winter months quickly arrived, the air becoming colder as it became December. I was sitting outside, leaning against a tree as I watched the sun slowly set with a heavy coat on and a blanket around my lap. It was crazy that I've been here for almost half a year. I was trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened so far, especially with Levi.
He's becoming softer and he's smiling more.
I grin as I lay my head back on the tree, mesmerised by Levi's soft smiles and his chuckles. "What are you smiling like a maniac for brat?" I jump and turn around to see Levi in a coat with the hood up. He looked so bored as he looked around the empty field. "And why are you out here in the cold. You're going to get sick." I shrug as Levi walks over to me, sitting down next to me.
"Just thinking." I shrug.
"Thinking about what?"
"Just me being here. It's almost been half a year." Levi hums out, nodding. "Are you planning on doing anything for New years?"
"No."
"You're not even joining the New Years party?"
"Those brats are just going to get shitfaced drunk again. Like they always do. I'm not going to look after them."
"But you love the cadets." I tease Levi and he rolls his eyes. "At least tell me you're joining the Christmas party tonight."
"If you stop whining about it I will."
"Yay!" Levi and I sit in silence, watching as the sky spot up with various stars. I look over at him to see him look up at the sky, shoulders all stiff and tense. I knew he was thinking about the expedition outside the walls that Hanji was planning to do once the winter months were over. "You look worried." Levi sighs out, leaning his head back on the tree.
"What's going to happen next (y/n)?" I freeze up as Levi speaks my name. "What's going to happen now that we know about this other country." I don't say anything, frowning at the grass as I picked at it.
"Come here." I pull Levi down into my lap, letting his head nestle against my legs as I draped the blanket over him. "You've made it this far, through so much shit in your life." I start out, running my fingers through Levi's hair as he visibly calms down. "You're not alone anymore." Levi sighs out in bliss, looking up at me as I smile down at him. "Just let me handle things from now on." Levi nods and closes his eyes, resting on his back.
His tense shoulders soften up and Levi smiles softly. "How are you so good at this." I chuckle, knowing what he meant.
"I don't know. Everyone back home used to say that I had magic fingers."
