Cw: sexual theme mention, reader has panic attack, 

It happened faster than you thought.

His lips were onto yours faster than a bullet.

It was a smooth transition.

His hand interlocked with yours, fingers wrapping itself around yours with caution reassuring your nerves. You stretched your hand and stroked his cheek lovingly back, eyes lost in his soft gaze.

You loved him.

More than anything.

And you wanted to prove that to him.

"Are you ready, love?" He whispered, not breaking eye contact with you, he was serious about consent not wanting to hurt you and trying his best to make you as comfortable as possible.

Your first response was a yes but before the words came out of your mouth, you hesitated as a short memory from the past came to you.

Immediately you felt uneasy, your breath suddenly caught in your throat, eyes widening as you realised that you couldn't inhale. Eyes watering at your recollection you released your hand from Levi, abruptly sitting up. Levi didn't waste another second to spring off you, his eyes filled with worry and fear that he did something wrong.

Your hands grabbed the sheets in front of you to cover your body, trying to compose yourself. Witnessing that you struggled to breathe Levi didn't hesitate to join your side. He grabbed your hand, eyes searching for where you may be hurt. "Whoa breathe...breathe...breathe." He soothed as you sobbed, body still trembling next to him. He continued to talk to you and support you as you slowly began to calm down.

A while later you were settled, you laid on his chest and sat between his legs as his hand continued to fiddle with the locks of your hair as if it was a remedy for you. You both sat in silence as quiet little hiccups escaped from your mouth and you melted into his body, the radiation of his warmth and his scent keeping you comforted. A reminder that you were safe.

Safe with him.

"Did I hurt you?" He spoke, his tone incredibly soft, you were unsure whether you heard him properly the first time. He wanted to make sure that you weren't in any distress or pain.

You shook your head against him implying that he didn't. His hand continued to stroke your hair as his other hand rubbed against your shoulder. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked tenderly, not wanting to pressure you or urge you into telling him straight away.

You didn't respond straight away wondering whether or not it would be best to tell him. Shortly you nodded deciding it would be better if you came out with it, so you could stop carrying around this heavy weight. He rubbed at your skin nimbly, his fingertips spreading his warmth onto your body.

"Take your time." He reassured you as you struggled to find the words at first.

You told him everything. And just as you hope you felt a bit better sharing it with him.

He didn't falter, fingers continuing to stroke you as you told him. He silently listened to every word you spoke, consoling you when you stumbled over your words, assuring you that he was listening.

Once you were done, he didn't speak, just continuing his actions. You were scared for how he was going to react.

Would he want to leave?

Was he disgusted by you?

"Are you angry?" you murmured, weary of his silence..

He stopped his movements, "Why would I be angry?"

You shrugged subtly, "I...I don't know...I just ruined everything."

He looked down at you, "You didn't ruin anything at all, it's not your fault. That wasn't your fault." He spoke clearly, his tone stern.

He went back to stroking locks of your hair and caressing your skin, you wouldn't get over this feeling. This feeling of comfort, you knew that you were safe around Levi and that he would always be there for you.

You loved him.

"I'm glad you told me." He whispered, "I know that was hard."

You looked up at him, your eyes instantly meeting with his crystal grey eyes, you said nothing more and raised your hand to his cheek, this time you were the one rubbing his skin "Me too." You responded as Levi shut his eyes, falling into your comfort.

You laid there for a while both of you enjoying each other's company, nothing verbal was said between the two of you but his presence next to you was all you needed and what he needed.

In the process you must have fallen asleep as the next time you opened your eyes you were greeted with the sound of water flowing into the bathtub.

Making your way to the bathroom you were met with Levi kneeling by the bath, watching as the water slowly rose, gliding his hand under the water every few seconds making sure the temperature was perfect.

For you.

You crept over as he turned his head, noticing your presence "I was just about to wake you up." He said, "This is for you." He rose up before turning off the tap once the bath was filled with enough bubbles to satisfy you.

You responded with a soft smile, he somehow always does more than expected. Just as he was about to exit the room, you swiftly grabbed his hand. His grey eyes immediately asked you what was wrong, "Stay with me."

You didn't have to say another word, moments later you were both sat comfortably in the tub. The water is warm , softening your skin, helping you relax and ease up after earlier. You sat between his legs and once again his arms wrapped around you, his soapy fingertips running over skin.

The burden of your past had now stopped troubling you, all you needed was right here, next to you.

"Thank you." you whispered.

"For what?" he hummed.

"Being here."

You didn't see it as your back was turned from him but Levi's face softened, his hands paused against your arm in surprise at your words.

"Always." he declared.

A promise that he would always be there for you.

Always.
