Author's Note: Happy Valentines Day! Wishing you all a wonderful day for yourself and with those you love. Even if you don't have a Valentine, that doesn't make you unworthy of love!! At least we all have Levi ;)

He laid his body forward, ever so slightly snoring in his sleep. Your eyes danced along his face, tracing the corners of his eyes that sparkled a beautiful grey, his lips that frowned a smile that you knew would melt your soul, and just about everything else about him swooned your heart to pieces. His left arm rested beneath his chin while his right was placed in front of it; clutched fist, apparent callouses were shown. Of rigors training and cleaning, you brought your hand up to brush along them. The rough touch of his skin was unusual, but they were uniquely his. His efforts and his determination. Oh, how you loved him.

His chest rose, the ruffles of his white blouse moving in sync, he looked peaceful. Your hand slowly reached up to his hair, the beautiful raven undercut that sprawled over his face made him less frightening. Brushing away those that may bother his slumber, your hand ruffled his hair, gently as you didn't want to wake him up.

You stopped once he emitted a small groan like he was enjoying the touch of your skin on his. As you reached the warm skin of his nape, you moved away. Pulling back, you looked to the side, glancing away from him. Your eyes cast downwards, disappointed for what you had done.

Maybe he didn't want that, so you shouldn't be doing it. What if he didn't want that from you? You thought. Shifting your head once more, warmth filled the air as your gaze lingered on his peaceful sleep. He hasn't slept in two weeks, so once the both of you shared tea together, and he had passed out on the spot, you were surprised. The longer he remained as still as he was, the more you realized that he was at peace, for just a moment. He seemed vulnerable if anything.

Leaning in, within this moonlit room of the mess hall, as the sound of crackling torches and whispers of the crickets outside made up the night, you kissed his forehead fleetingly. Pulling back, you stood up, draping over his Survey Corp's cape.

As the sun's light touched the horizon of the sky, it glowed the colors of morning, of dawn, and beauty. Levi scrunched his eyelids, slowly opening them to see that he had remained as he was the day before. What surprised him the most was you, your sleeping form across from him.

Your head rested on your right arm that laid across the table, close to Levi's. A simple distance away, just a touch away. Your hair sprawled across the table, at the very most, exposing your face to Levi. His grey eyes watched as your chest rose and fell, an indication of your slumber as the sun slowly touched your face.

Groaning, you fluttered your eyes open, setting your back straight to let out a stretch. Taking notice of Levi, you immediately smiled. "Morning, I didn't mean to intrude on your sleep."

With a raised brow, he looked around, seeing that it was just the two of them. "No matter (Y/N), however, why didn't you wake me up? It would be unprofessional to see the two of us, as superiors, to be sleeping in the mess hall" he inquired as you let out a sheepish yawn.

"That's right, but I didn't want you to not sleep the moment I did. Knowing you, you would just continue your training or the paperwork that is yet to be due till a week from now" you reasoned.

He knew you were right, so he didn't say anything regarding the matter anymore. He got up, groggily rubbing the drowsiness out of his eyes. "Well, I suppose we could have some tea?" he offered, standing by the doorway of the kitchen. With a rush of those feelings you've harbored, you nodded. "Very well, I'll be quick."

While waiting for Levi to finish, your eyes widened when you realized that tomorrow was the day of love. Couples would be all around town, embracing each other's touch, and sharing tender kisses. You've never had that experience before, at the very least, you had gotten several hugs from the man you love, and even head pats from him...but, other than that, nothing else.
