Chapter XXVII.

***lemons ahead***

Theia was breathing hard, looking at his lips. She closed her eyes and rested her forehead against his chest. Levi caught a glimpse of her exposed back. He was overcome with an incredible desire to touch it.

"What did you mean I was torturing you?" He asked her in a calm voice. He felt her sigh towards his soaked shirt.

"Leave it," she dismissed.

"Answer me," he didn't want to let it be and he put his hands over the edge of the tub to keep them busy.

"Can't you see it, Levi?" she buried her head closer to his body. Levi frowned.

"I can't see," Theia gave a short chuckle.

"What kind of demon is inside of you that you are fighting so desperately?" She asked him. Levi paused for a moment.

"I do not know what to do. I don't even know how to behave... To you," he whispered the last words. Theia sat up, the bubbles had almost disappeared and the slightly dirty water covered very little, but Levi was looking straight into her eyes. Her cheeks were rosy and her hair became damp with steam, creating a few strands stuck together.

"What do you feel when you're with me?" She asked him sincerely. Levi thought for a moment about the best way to formulate the words.

"I feel..." he trailed off, trying not to let her know the nervousness in his "...that I don't want anything to happen to you and I don't want you to be in danger," he answered. Theia raised an eyebrow.

"Is that all? You don't want anything to happen to anyone. So, I am just anyone to you," she said disappointed. Levi paused again. She ran her tongue along the inside of her cheek and nodded in frustration. "Fine," she stood up from the tub and Levi immediately looked away. She stepped out of it, took a towel that she wrapped around her body and angrily walked out of the bathroom. Levi clutched his head and gritted his teeth. He clenched his other hand into a fist and hit the water with it. But he also carefully got out of the tub, drained it and threw off his wet shirt. He brushed his hair back and looked frustrated at the closed bedroom door. He walked slowly to them and opened them. He found Theia, sitting still covered only in a towel, drying her hair with another towel. She angrily stood up from the bed and walked a few steps to the side, not interrupting her activity.

"Theia," he began cautiously.

"Enough Levi. Don't say anything, we're both adults and I know when to stop," she said coldly and Levi sighed.

"Hey," he tried to reach her still calmly. Theia slapped the towel against her thighs and looked up at the ceiling.

"For the wall of Maria. I've been making such a coward of myself!" She started cursing. "So, disgusting to be so clingy," She walked over to the large closet which she opened looking for something to sleep on.

"You've made up some misunderstand again," he said this time with a dose of anger.

"Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch and won't bother you again!" She felt a strong pull on her left arm. Her body bumped against an unopened part of the closet and a pile of clean towels fell to her feet. She closed her eyes in pain and when she opened them again, she was looking straight to Levi's angry ones. He grabbed both of her hands and pressed them right next to her head.

"Have you finally shut up?" He asked in a low tone. He was standing right in front of her, half-naked, in wet pants. Theia's mouth parted. "Now if you're already calm, we can talk," he continued through gritted teeth. His brows were furrowed and a deep crease was forming between his eyes. Theia was breathing fast and her whole body was shaking just from the intensity which he was holding her and looking at her. If she could, she would hide in the closet behind her. "I don't want to hear you say that kind of shit ever again," his voice made the hairs on her back stand up. "You're driving me crazy Theia, you know that? You are wandering around here all the time, bursting with ideas, smiles, charisma, attracting so much attention to yourself, and the next day I see your empty, cold-hearted look, wanting revenge without any concern for your surroundings. One day you're laughing, the next you're cursing me. One day you are friend with everyone, the next you gain authority. You are so unpredictable, wild as a storm that no one can stop. And you say you don't understand me?" Theia listened carefully to his every word.
