"I forgot to tell you that your usage of ODM gear is incredible," Levi snapped out of his thoughts to look at the door where Theia was standing again. She closed the door by elbow and she carried a silver tray with two cups of tea. She placed it on the table and handed one to Levi. "Be careful, it's still hot," he accepted it willingly, but still avoiding her gaze. She sat down on the chair again and looked at his back.

"If you don't know Theodore, how did he know so many things about you?" He asked after taking first sip. He was getting really angry with himself. Even the tea from her tastes the best to him.

"I thought about that too," she paused. "He said that I was the one who called him Sebastian, but he did not refute my words in any way. I think he was the one who really kidnapped real Sebastian. And I'm sure he's responsible for the other murders, including my cadets. Since he kidnapped the real Sebastian, he got the necessary information from him. If he is one of the founders of the specialized unit, I think he has effective methods of getting the answers he needs out of people," she leaned back.

"And why would he do all this? Why was he trying to pretend to be Sebastian? Why didn't he just kill you," Levi's voice broke at the last word.

"I have no idea," she sighed, staring into the cup of black tea. "I'm starting to get caught up by this whole thing," she sipped carefully.

"If you want to go after him, I'm already feeling good," he said in a calm voice, still not turning to her. But Theia was looking in his direction. She counted the arrow holes in his shirt with her eyes.

"You should shower and change," she told him sweetly. She couldn't get some questions out of her mind, why Theodor didn't kill her. Why was he only attacking Levi and why is all this happening at all. Did he find out that Levi was important to her and try to hurt him? If Levi wasn't so strong, would he have killed him? And then what? She grabbed her head, which was starting to hurt again under the weight of her thoughts. Levi finally turned around as if he senses her stress.

"Hey..." He put the cup of tea on the table, got up from the bed and walked over to her. She lifted her worried gaze to him to examine him again. He was deathly pale. Her chest hurt.

"You could have died," she said in a broken voice. "I shouldn't have returned to Shiganshina at all. It's all happening again and I'm the one responsible for it," Levi rolled his eyes and took the cup from her hands, placing it on the windowsill. He pulled her to him and hugged her gently.

"Don't talk nonsenses," she rested her head on his shoulder, wrapped her shaky arms around him, and she squeezed his shirt between her fingers.

"If something happens to you... I..." she closed her eyes in pain.

"Nothing will happen to me," she smelled his scent for the first time. Not the soap, but his. She inhaled it with her nose and she was almost immediately overcome with relief. She never wanted to leave his warm arms again. The only place where she felt herself and safe. She slowly began to realize that what she felt for him was not just friendship, affection or sexual attraction... it was something much more. Something that begins to envelop her mind and heart with mutually incredible fear. Shakily she reached for his lips again. She carefully licked them and began to gently caress them. She closed her eyes and entered his mouth with her tongue. Levi didn't fight back, still holding her in his arms, but she pushed him towards the bed. He frowned. She began to deepen the kiss, her hands caressed his back sensually, and his head felt hot. That is not good. He reached for her shoulders and pushed her away from him. He looked into her frustrated face.

"What are you doing again?" He asked coldly and she frowned apologetically.

"Please. I need you," she whispered, looking straight into his eyes. She knew her request was crazy, he had just woken up after a hard fight, but she wanted to smell this scent of his before it turned soapy again. She wanted to explore his toned body with her fingers and treat each of his scars with kisses. Levi sighed.
