Levi X Reader 3

Ch. 58: Safe In Your Arms

You gaze down at his hand lightly holding both your hands in one. Then Levi tilts your head up, with his fingers clasp on your chin, for you look to look at him in the eyes.

"Want to know what will happen if you slap me, my wife?" Levi asks.

You quickly slip your hands out of his grasp.  Turning your body around to face him. You close his legs with yours, pressing your thigh against his, then you sit on his lap, facing him while he continues to sit in his study chair.

You look in his grey eyes briefly, before wrapping your arms around his neck to pull him into your embrace.

"I love you," you whisper next to his ear.

Levi slowly sinks his face into the crook of your neck, as he wraps his arms around your waist to hug you tighter.

Levi props his chin on your shoulder, as he gazes at the sketches still laying on his study desk, then lifts his gaze to the gas lamp still burning on his desk.

"I know..., unless I did something really wrong," he says, Levi reaches one of his hand over to the gas lamp and turns it off.

"Every decision you have made, you were never wrong," you whisper gently to his ear.

The study room now engulfed in silence and darkness. As the two of you embrace each other.

Levi stands up from his seat, as you continue to hug him, wrapping your arms around his neck and your legs around his waist.

Levi carries you, with one arm under  your hips, and closes his study room door with his other hand as he walks down the hall with you.

"You've been through so much...." you squeeze him lightly with your body, "That I just want to hug you." you say.

Levi steps into the bedroom, closing the door behind him with his back, as he stands there leaning his back against it, while you still wrap your arms and legs around him.

You draw your head back to look at him. Levi silently gazes at you in the darkness of the bedroom. His arms didn't want to let you go, as you look back him.

He lifts a hand to stroke your warm cheek with his fingers. You lean into his hand gently holding your face.

"Thank you...," Levi says softly as he continues to look at you.

He slowly leans in to kiss you lightly on the lips as he closes his eyes. As if to savor every touch of your presence in front of him as he holds you in his arms.

Levi's hand that was under your hips lightly loosens, as you slide your legs to stand in front of him.

"Let's go to bed," you say with a small smile. But was abruptly pull back. As Levi continues to lean his back against the bedroom door. His hand quickly grabs yours and pulls you back, as he wraps his arms around you once more.

You feel the side of your face press against his shoulder, as he lightly squeezes you in his arms.

"I'll keep you safe," Levi says.

You gaze at the darkness of the room as you listen to him speak near your ear,

"I'll keep you and our children safe," he says as if he's repeating the words in his head.

That night, Levi held your hand as he sleeps.

You gaze at his now sleeping face, as you lay beside him on the bed. Then your eyes goes to his hand. You lift your hand in his. Bringing the back of his hand close your cheek. You close your eyes, as you lightly whisper, "I know you will."
