Apathetic Aggressive (Levi X Reader)

▼ Calm Before the Storm ▼

You wake up the next morning feeling warm and cozy. It takes you a moment to become fully aware of your surroundings and when you do, you sit up, faster than light, as you realise you weren't in your room. Whose bed were you in? Whose black shirt and shorts were you wearing? You try to remember the events of the previous night when you feel something warm adjust itself around your waist. Immediately, you pull up the covers up and see a relaxed arm around your waist that led to an equally relaxed looking person by your side.

"Levi?" You whisper oh so quietly as you notice the man's relaxed and peaceful looking face resting on the pillows. Sure. You had seen the man smile once or twice and you even heard him crack some shitty joke... Literally. But... His face right now. This man seemed so relaxed and his expression matched the lazy limbs that you could easily lift off of yourself. You don't know if you should be scared or happy for him. Seeing someone who had always looked so mad and.. Apathetic... Finally looking.. Normal? It was a big change for you and you're sure it would be a colossal change for everyone else if they ever saw the Captain like this. But you weren't stupid. You know that if you ever breathed a word of this to anyone, you'd be put in an early grave.

While staring at the Captain's beautifully relaxed face, you couldn't help but cup the side of his face in your hand as your thumb gently caressed over his cheek. This truly was a sight to behold.

While taking in the sight, you don't realise the Captain move slightly and stir awake. His dazed grey eyes now trying to adjust and look up to your E/C eyes.

"L/N?" Levi murmurs as he slowly raises himself onto an elbow, propping himself up to get a better look at the person seemingly in his bed.

"Levi! Captain!" You ask loudly as you retract your hand from his face and jump back a bit.

"Quiet down Soldier.." Levi mutters as he rubs his eyes with one hand before peering out the window to determine the time. "Shit..." He lets out as he clicks his tongue. "How long was I asleep for?"

"Well... You fell asleep before me... And I don't think you woke up during the night because I would have felt it... It's almost seven in the morning... You had a pretty decent sleep Sir." You inform and you comb down your hair with your fingers.

"I slept all night?" Levi asks surprised.

"Yeah... Is that... Not something that you do regularly?" You ask, somewhat concerned. 

"It doesn't matter... Why were you touching my face?" He asks as he stares at you. You blush as you look down, trying to hide your face.

"Well... I mean... You looked so... Peaceful while you were sleeping... You still do now..." You say quietly as you look back up to the awakening man. 

"Idiot.. You don't touch people while they're sleeping." Levi mutters as he brushes the loose strands of hair out of his face.

"What?!" You yell. "You say that after I wake up to find your arm hugging my waist." You say a bit too confidently as the man startles and his eyes widen.

"I.." Levi says quietly, not knowing how to respond to the information he was just given.

"Hey." You say softly as you stretch your arm and place a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay. I quite enjoy hugs from you... Even though I sorta... Force you into most.." You say as you blush lightly. "Your hugs are like the ones you got from hugging a stuffed toy as a kid. They're soft and welcoming. They are warm and relaxing. It makes me happy and I feel safe when I hug you." You say honestly in a soft voice as you try to keep yourself from blushing any further.

"That's how you feel when you hug me?" Levi asks surprised, and for a moment you swear to the heavens above you could see a faint tint of pink spread across the man's face.

"Aha! I told you. Like a stuffed, fuzzy toy." You reply as you give him a warm, genuine smile.

"Heh..." He chuckles lightly. "I wouldn't know the feeling... I never grew up with such privileges." He states as you look at him apologetically. You remember now that the night before, the two of you were in bed talking about nothing in particular but the topic of childhood came up and you remember him telling you his.

Quickly, you pull the man into a hug and hold onto him tightly. You were never the one to hug or receive hugs from people. The whole idea of being so close to someone you may not know disgusted you. The thought of being surrounded by a large group of people irritates you even more though.

"F/N?" Levi asks as he just sits there, on his knees, on the bed, letting you hug him.

"Shut up. Shut the fuck up." You say, chuckling a bit through your speech. "I told you last night, you need more hugs. And I like your hugs so it works fine. Just shut up and hug me you living legend." You say as you hug him tighter. And after a moment of hesitation, he hugs you back, tightly. He lets out a sigh of relief as he relaxes in your hold and slumps his head onto your shoulder.

After probably five minutes, you both let go of each other and sit up.

"C'mon, We have shit to do today." Levi states as he gets off the bed and takes his shirt off to get changed. Your eyes instantly glue to his muscled body as you stare in awe.

"Are you just gonna sit there? C'mon. We have shit to do. Go to your room and get changed." Levi informs as he proceeds to take off his pants. Before you can see any more of this intriguing man, you tear your gaze off of him and exit the room quickly, heading to your room to get ready for the day.
