You tossed and turned in bed that same night, the unfamiliar walls feeling small around you as you struggled to sleep despite the dawdling time.

The clock ticked away in your ears, relentless thoughts non-stop going through your mind. You sighed, your eyes constantly fluttering open and shut.

You sighed, wondering what everyone else was doing at that time of night.

You swung your legs over your bed, fidgeting with your shorts and shirt before you slipped on a comfortable pair of shoes to walk outside of your room in, before venturing outside in hopes of finding something to do.

You opened the door to your boyfriends bedroom, watching him freeze at the sound of a creaking door before his expression in the moonlight eased at the sight of you at his door with a weak look on your face.

He placed the book he was reading on his chest with a raised eyebrow, having to squint to see you, "Yaeger? Is that you?"

"Yeah." You smiled, quickly closing the door, "I can't sleep."

He didn't respond, just removing the duvet from his legs and placing the book on his bed side table, gesturing for you to go lie with him as you beamed excitedly, quickly slipping your shoes off.

You crawled over his bed before cuddling warmly into his arms, your head against his chest as you relaxed into his body, letting out a happy sigh.

He placed his slender hand over your head, slowly tracing his fingers along your temples and neck as you felt yourself relax more at his comforting touch, holding no resistance as you already felt yourself get more tired.

After a few minutes of you both lying together he picked his book back up, realising that you were trying to sleep and not wanting to keep you up, however, you still wanted to talk.

You leant your chin on his chest, looking up at him dreamily as his eyes quickly skimmed over the page.
"What is it?" He asked, not glancing down at you.

Your lips cracked into a smile as his silver eyes finally skimmed down onto you, brushing his hand past your forehead.
"I wish we could do this more often.." You mumbled.

"Do what more often?"

"Lie in eachovers arms until we fall asleep.."

Levi paused for a few moments, squinting his eyes to speak with a concentrated expression. He tapped you on the shoulder to get your attention, "Well then, why don't we?"

You shrugged, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind sleeping around here more often-"

"No, Y/N." He awkwardly laughed, scratching the back of his head with an awkward expression, "I mean permanently.." He swallowed as your e/c widened, parting your lips, "How would you feel about sharing a bedroom from now on?"

You smiled widely, "Like.. moving in together?"

He shrugged, "Ive just been thinking about this a lot lately.. I figured we can't exactly get a house or apartment together until we're no longer Scouts, but I still want to have the same place as you, so a bedroom is possibly the closest we'll get, right?"

You stayed quiet: your heart pounding too much to speak.

Levi's lips curled up into a small, tired smile, his fingers still tracing against your head, "I want to spend as much time with you as possible. Is that clear, Scout?" He asked in a mocking voice as you quietly laughed.
