6 | let go

The night continued on with laughter and embarrassing stories from the past. The longer you were here, the more you felt like old times, but Levi was right; you can't forget what's outside the walls.

Levi and you occasionally make eye contact. Mainly his steel orbs peering over his tea cup to you. Deciding to mess with him, you stare back and just cross your arms over your chest. Accepting your challenge, his long skinny fingers set down his cup and he leans back in his chair.

It wasn't until the room got quiet did you two look away from each other. All eyes were lingering on the two of you. You put your hands over your cheeks feeling them instantly heat up. Levi was the first to speak up.

He leans forward and grabs his tea cup and sits back again, "what the hell are you all staring at?"

Everyone went back to their conversations but Hanji leaned over to tap your leg. She mouths silently, "you and shorty?!" Then holds up a thumbs up.

"No absolutely not!," you whisper yell back.

"Please! You look like a love sick puppy!," she laughs out.

You gently shove her shoulder, "As if!"

When you look back at Levi, he's tilting his head upstairs beckoning you to come with. You give him the 'seriously' eyes before he takes another sip of his tea before he gets up and sets his cup in the sink. He stands there waiting for you to make your move. With a huff you push yourself off the couch and follow behind him earning some whistles and hollers, but it takes one cold glare from him to shut the rest of the group up.

When he gets in the room he sits on his bed that he made for himself on the floor waiting for you. You flop on the bed on your belly with your head hanging off near him.

You tilt your head quizzically at him sitting criss cross on the floor, "What are you doing?"

"Sitting?," he says leaning back on his hands.

"Get up here big guy," you say pulling his arm.

He sighed through his nose and got on the bed next to you.

"What's up with you? You're bring weird," you ask him.

"Are you going with them to the pharmacy tomorrow?"

"Duh you expect Eren, Jean, and Connie to know what a disinfectant is or suture materials," you laugh out.

"Just... be careful."

"Aw is someone worried about little ol me?!," you giggle as you poke his arm.

"I'm serious, y/n. Just don't do anything reckless."

"Jeez ok! I won't! Why are you acting so strange?"

Levi looked at his hands and chose his words carefully, "I just... We need you here. I uh... need you here."

Gently you reached out and pushed his raven hair out if his eyes. Levi flinched at your touch but practically melted into it after a second.

The two of you just sat there like that while you combed your fingers through his locks. His breathing evened out signaling that he fell asleep.

There it is again. That relaxed face you rarely get to see. Carefully you pull the blanket around the both of you and close your eyes too.

Shockingly, you wake up before Levi. Outside the window you see Eren, Jean, Mikasa, Connie, and Sasha getting the truck ready to head out. Carefully you lift Levi's arm off your waist so you can start getting ready too.

The sound of you putting on your boots must have woken him because he sits up with an angry scowl on his face.

"You we're gonna leave and not say goodbye," he says staring out the window at the others.

"I was too! I was just gonna wake you up before I head out."

He pulls you between his legs as he sits up on the bed and rests his head on your stomach hugging you.

"Someones a cuddler in the mornings," you say petting his hair down. 

"Shut up. Be careful and come back."

"Levi?"

"Hm?," he says muffled by your shirt.

"Look up at me."

The second he lifts his head you give him a quick peck on his lips.

"I'll be back, I promise."

Saying the drug store was run down would be an understatement. The place reeked of mold and rotting corpses, luckily for you guys most were dead except for a few stray walkers.

"Y/n! Do we need ace...ta...met...aphine?," Sasha tried sounding out.

"Yea! Please grab as many bottles of that as you can find!"

"I found bandages over here!"

"There's gauze too!"

"Those are all great! Keep looking!"

You walk into the back office to look and you heart nearly stopped when you saw it. Vials of morphine and an emergency suture kit. Quickly you shove into your bad and kept looking.

The moldy floorboards creaked loudly beneath each of your steps. Too much pressure caused one to give out and fall beneath your foot. You pulled back fast enough to avoid falling through. Under the floor boards 15 feet below was running water from what you assume was an old sewer.

"Hey guys be careful the floors are- Oh Shit!" Wood cracked and caved in as you plummeted into the cold dark water. The current was strong and trying to drag you away, but you quickly grabbed on to a metal drain gate.

"Help! Please help me!," you screamed hoping the others would hear your pleas.

"Holy fuck! Y/n!" You saw Connie's head peak out of the whole you fell through.

"Don't get to close! The wood is crumbling!," you yelled.

You listened as Connie yelled for the others to find a way to get you out, but the low growl coming close made you heart sink and you knew you had to let go.

"Hang on y/n we're coming!," Sasha yelled down.

"Please! Please tell Levi I'm sorry!," you cried.

"No I won't! You tell him when we get you out!"

"They're coming! I'm so sorry I messed up!," and you let go.
