Ruffles of Raven Hair (Levi x Reader)

Levi's eyes watched as you trained with the cadets of the 104th Cadet Corps. It was a fine spring day, with the sun shining brightly and the flowers blossoming. The gentle breeze of the wind reached his nose, calming his senses and faltering his crossed arms. He was tired, no doubt, as any insomniac would be. His eyes were dreary, having no willpower to stay up for much longer. Thus, he sat down, despite the soiled ground he'd be on.

Meanwhile, you were just about finishing up training with Eren, gesturing that he went to practice the new moves he had learned from you on Jean. Much to his delight, he accepted, hoping to prove to the horse face that he was just as strong as he was.

You chuckled as he threw small punches in the air on his way to Jean. Soon, you reached Levi. His back was slouching, with his body leaning forward. You sat beside him, admiring the birds that chirped beautifully and the flowers that were swaying along with the gentle wind. It wasn't often that such days like these occurred, especially when there was the constant threat of the titans breaching the walls, and the loss of comrades. However, you didn't think about it too much. Simply relaxing at the moment was better than idly thinking about the worst things out there.

You breathed in, closing your eyes, and as your legs were crossed, you didn't take much notice when Levi began to sway to the left and to the right. Eventually, you felt a weight on your shoulder, which made you stiffen. Looking to the side, your eyes trailed down his face to see that his eyes were closed and his lips were parted.

Levi wasn't one to do this, by this you mean being vulnerable in front of others. Thus, you gently rose your hand and patted his cheek. "Levi" you whispered, but to your surprise, he didn't wake up. Patting his cheek again, you muttered, "Levi, wake up." Still, there was no reply.

Sighing, you looked away from him, observing the cadets that continued to train, oblivious to their Corporal's vulnerable state at the moment. Humming, you looked at Levi again. Your eyes trailed down to his eyes; his lashes were nice, they were relatively long and his skin, though paler than most, was just as smooth as his hair. His lips parted to allow him to breathe, and his chest rose as he did so. You liked how he looked, so at ease did it make your heart melt.

Suddenly, he shifted. He seemed to nuzzle his head on your shoulder, moving his body slightly before you heard soft little snores. It was interesting, you've never seen Levi sleep before, despite all the times you were in his office helping with his paperwork, or when you slept on his bed, courtesy to when you were too exhausted to return back to your barracks.

You decided that it was much better if Levi wasn't in the position he was currently in, maybe somewhere where he was in your arms? You thought for a moment before gently tilting Levi's head. You gently held his shoulders, causing his head to go limp. It took a while, but you managed to get him on your lap, which made you all the more impressed that he hasn't woken up yet. And it was even better because the cadets' were still oblivious to what was going on.

Now that you had him in your arms, you wrapped them around his body as he laid against your shoulder. His head rested much more comfortably on you, snuggling closer under the warmth that was provided by the crook of your jawline. His arms lay limp-like on his legs, and his hair tickled your skin at times. You then rose your hand, and gently patted his head, eventually running your hands through his soft raven locks. The motion made him groan, it felt nice, like a faint memory of when he had first felt it.

"Are you really asleep?" you whispered.

He didn't reply, which made you think that he might possibly get in some sleep. It would be quite humorous if he did wake up, to see himself in your arms, almost cradling him, as he's outside and vulnerable in front of the cadets...it would be a sight to behold for Hanji, and certainly for the cadets of the 104th Cadet Corps.
