Blue and White - Levi Fanfiction

Ch. 51 - With These Rings

That very next morning, when I woke up I was warm and comfortable and I woke up naturally; that is to say, it wasn't because of someone talking, or my natural inclination to wake up when the sun rose, nor the sun streaming into the room. Rather, my body waited until I was well rested before stirring.

Whatever time it was, and no matter how rested I was, I decided it was far too early, so I closed my eyes once more and tucked the blanket closer to my chin. As though a direct response, as soon as I did so, Levi yanked the blanket back over towards him - but I wasted no time in pulling it back towards me.

Levi rolled towards me, and rather naively, I thought that he might be coming to cuddle, but I was so incredibly wrong. As a matter of fact, he gathered the blanket towards him before rolling back to face the other way in a hurry, leaving me without a man to cuddle, without a blanket and exposed to the cold, all at once.

I gasped, wide awake now, and I rolled over and propped myself up on my elbow to look at him. "Levi," I huffed impatiently. He did nothing in response other than turn his head, but only enough so that one tired eye could meet mine over his shoulder. "I would like at least a little bit of the blanket, please."

"Why?" His voice was a low, husky sort of rasp, one that was incredibly sexy, but it was unfortunately one that I had to ignore.

"Because there's only one," I argued easily. "And besides that, I'm cold." I started to reach for him, but he grunted and relaxed his head so he was resting against the pillow once more. "Oh, come on. Don't be an ass."

"That's not nice language," he said, adjusting to get more comfortable within all the bedding he was now hogging. "And in front of the baby, Amaya. Honestly."

Honestly, I echoed in my mind, what the hell was I to do with only a pillow or two? I frowned at the injustice of it all, but remembered at once who I was: I was Amaya Ikeda. I was no pushover, and I was going to prove it!

Oh, yes. I was going to get that blanket by any means necessary.

I slid across the sheets towards him and reached over him to grab the blanket. He had a strong grip on it, however. Clearly he anticipated my attack! From where I was now, sitting with my torso leaning over him, I could see his smirk, and immediately I knew this was all just a game to him. Not only had he anticipated it, he had been counting on it!

"Okay, funny guy," I said, tugging on the blanket with nearly all my might but getting it no closer to me. "Give it up."

"No," he said simply, closing his eyes again.

"This isn't funny," I hissed, getting to my knees and continuing to pull on the blanket. "Come on, Levi." He didn't budge. Perhaps a threat would work? "Levi, I swear I will beat the shit out of you." Still nothing. He was clearly not going to give in, so I let go, letting him have it. Guess I'd just have to play dirty, then. "Levi," I whined, flopping over him, becoming dead weight all at once, "I want the blanket."

"No," he said again.

I pouted. "Don't you love me?"

"Don't be stupid," he said. "And don't be a brat."

"If you don't want me to be comfortable and warm, then you must not love me," I argued.

"There are extra blankets in the closet," he countered, and though he was right, I wasn't going to let him keep this one because of it.

"But I want to cuddle with you, and we can't do that in different blankets."

"Tough."

I groaned and got off him entirely. "You are so damn difficult."
