Hug (Levi x Reader)

Your hair swayed as you walked in the hallways, it was quite a peaceful day at headquarters and you'll be taking it to your advantage. Normally there would be shouting from your comrades, Jean and Eren, but today...everything just seems so quiet, so peaceful. A serene feeling when all you heard were the footsteps you took on your way to the mess hall.

You reached the wooden doors and opened them, upon entering you saw that your comrades were all there, but something was wrong. No one was talking, they were just...eating. The serene feeling of the quietness became something worrying. You quickened your pace to where Eren and his friends were, taking a seat next to Armin.

"Hey Armin" you whispered to him, he snapped his attention to you, nervous.

"What's going on? Is something wrong?" you asked, feeling more worry and some sort of paranoia invoking within you.

"No...well- Corporal has been harsher lately and just a few minutes ago he told us to stay quiet or else we'd be titan fouder" Armin said, turning his attention back to the bread he was eating.

You only mouthed an "o" surprised your Corporal got them all in such a sour mood, it takes away the peacefulness, filling it with dread.

"Do you know why he might be?" you asked.

"No, but I think it has something to do with-" just then Corporal came into the mess hall. His face was frowning even more, his eyebrows curved lower and his hair slightly disheveled. It was as if he was running late on sleep, which wouldn't be too far-fetched as he was an insomniac..but the eyebags were much more prominent and he looked like he was on the verge of collapsing.

He looked around the mess hall, looking at each cadet, seemingly hoping to find someone. He looked around until he saw your table, he looked at you, almost like there was a hidden message within them.

You noticed that he was looking at you so you smiled back at him, waving your hands as a gesture of good morning, hoping it'll brighten up his sour mood today.

He looked stoically at you, but you could tell the hint of softness, as though he was able to crack a small smile if he was allowed to. You both continued to gaze at each other, almost transfixed in each other's beautiful hues.

You had a feeling of determination with a sense of wanting to help your Corporal out. You've loved the man for god knows how long. He was normally so reserved but with you, he seemed to chat more and actually hold conversations that made him alive again. The silence was peaceful between you two, simply enjoying each other's company was enough. Wanting Levi to smile is enough for you, wanting you to smile in his presence is enough for him.

His eyes trailed towards you as stood up from your seat next to Armin and carefully walked around the table. He saw you walking towards him, arms almost at stand and at guard to do something. You knew that Levi didn't like being touched much, so you decided to approach him carefully, each step with a moment for him to turn away or back away if he were to be uncomfortable.

You stood in front of your Corporal, hands slightly away from your sides as you reached your hands towards him. You thought he'd back away, but he didn't. He was too tired and too...hurt. He wanted that comfort no matter where, no matter when, he needed it, he wanted it, he didn't care, as long as it was from someone he knew he could trust, and that was you.

Your hands landed on both his cheeks, you caressed his eyebags with delicacy with your thumbs, afraid it might hurt him if you applied too much pressure. Though you know it wouldn't, you wanted the man to know that he can trust you. He leaned towards your touch, his heavily frowned face relaxed a little, but still in the state of hesitation and pain. Not from your touch, but the problem you have yet to know about.

Slowly, you took away both hands and brought them over his shoulders, pausing to see if he wanted you to stop. He once again didn't, so you brought his body closer to you as you made him rest his head on your shoulder.

He himself brought his arms and wrapped them around your waist, securing your body towards his and you both tightened your grip against each other. Levi felt safe within your arms, your breathing was soft against his ear and your body was warm, in contrast to his cold state much less his demeanor. But you melted it.

He placed his face under the crook of your neck, wanting to be closer to you, wanting to know that there was someone there, even if it was Erwin or Hanji, he wanted to know that someone like you was there for him.

And he knew, with that simple yet so well approached of an embrace, giving him the chance to back away, that you'd be there for him.

He smiled against your skin, and you were the only one closest to him, physically, to see him smile and that made you smile in return.

The others watched as you and the Corporal hugged, it was odd to them. But they felt relieved, being that they knew the Corporal would be less sour and grumpy now. They were all internally happy.

You continued to hug your Corporal, hoping to express to him your undying love for him, as much as he wished to express his love for you.

It was on that day, the time where you both hadn't spoken a word, yet understood that underlying request the other wanted, your love for each other blossomed deeper.

Extended Ending
You were humming to yourself as you were walking into the mess hall, hoping to eat some soup and bread with your comrades, or your Corporal. When you entered, he was standing near the doorway, like he was waiting for you to come.

"Good morning Levi" you greeted him with a smile. He nodded but murmured a quick good morning back. Though his character broke that day, he remained stoic but much more relieved than ever.

You silently walked towards the superior's table, seeing as Levi was walking next to you now.

"Good morning Section Commander Hanji, Commander Erwin" they gave you a nod, so you sat down with Levi sitting down next to you. You began to eat the food you got while Levi walked with you to the table, but you paused when you felt someone's hand touch yours beneath the table. The hand was cold, but against your soft warm ones, it warmed up. You tightened your grip on his hand and squeezed it, reassuring him.

You continued to hold hands until you thought of an idea. wanting nothing more than to kiss him, not on the lips, but on the cheek as a form of gratitude. Hoping to take things slow, especially with him. You placed down your food and cupped Levi's cheek, he instantly leaned towards your touch, he wasn't one for PDA, but he could give two shits about that right now. All he wanted was you.

You slowly brought your body closer to him, and gently placed a kiss on his cheek. He stiffened at first, having this be the first time he was kissed other than his mother he loved dearly. But he loved it, he loved your touch, he loved that he could be safe with you.

Feeling him relax, you release your soft lips from his cheek and looked at him with love and adoration. He placed his hands on your waist.

"I love you" was expressed within both your eyes, no words needed, and you liked it that way. What better way to express it than the act of understanding each other through actions than words?

Hanji witnessing what unfolded started yelling to everyone in the mess hall, "did you see that?!" and "shorty~." Levi didn't care, he just wanted to see his whole world in his hands, and there you were, within his hands, his world.
