Hanji's POV

Even the showers were spectacular! I spent over half an hour just letting the warm water stream down my body. Tomorrow morning, I was thinking of having a bubble bath. Putting on my pajamas, I walked out of the steaming bathroom with my hair in a towel. Once I plopped myself onto the TV, a knock came at the door- the one from Levi.

"Coming." I opened the door, seeing him in black pants and a white t-shirt. "What's up?"

"Did you want to watch a movie?" He smiles as he walks inside my room. "I heard that a new movie is currently streaming on TV- no ads, of course."

"Sure." I smiled at him, patting the bed next to me. "Sounds great." My eyes turned towards the phone as I chuckle. "I'm somewhat craving a snack. After that amazing shower, I got a bit hungry. Do you want something?"

"If they have apple pie," he chuckles as he sits next to me after turning the TV on.

When our room service came in, Levi got surprised that they had apple pie. To be fair, I didn't tell him. I got chocolate-covered strawberries as a snack. We began to watch our movie, and it felt like we were adults. Adults share the master bedroom in our house. A house where we lived together. 

I curled myself up on Levi's right side, wrapping my arms around his torso and listening to his beating heart. That warmth tickled my cheeks, beckoning me to sleep. Levi dropped his arms around me, pulling me closer. We kept silent as we watched the movie...

3 more days left on this trip... and I only wished for it to be longer. I wish we can spend every night like this. It was such a mature moment for me... the first time... I can act like a grown adult. 

"Levi...?" I asked him in the middle of the movie.

He nudges a bit, "Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Can I ask for you to stay with me? For tonight?"

"I... I can. But I have to get up early for a family business. It'll just be for an hour or two, okay? And there's that lunch thing later on... maybe I should've dragged Erwin instead. I don't want to leave you alone. If I could get away from it all and spend time with you, I would. I'm sorry it came out like this."

"Either way, I'm getting some time to be with you, Levi..." I smile, nuzzling my head into his chest. "Don't be sorry, okay? It'll be fine..."
