Lady execution Levi Ackerman x OC (ENG) 18+

Chapter XXIV. Who is the prey?

He finally slept. His eyelashes were gently shaking and his mouth was still open, as if he wanted to say something, but sleep took him the chance. She was hoping it would take away all worries, hardship and stress. She stroked his head for a few more minutes, she knew he had a light sleep, but when she heard his deep and calm exhalations, she pulled out very carefully. She covered him and took the candle away from the bed to keep it from disturbing his sleep. Finally, she untied the fabric from her hand and looked at the wound that led through her palm. She wanted to slap herself, but the anger she felt at that time helped her without worrying through the pain. She tied her bleeding hand with a clean cloth and returned to the bed where she watched his sleeping face for a few seconds until she lay down. She carefully snuggled to Levi's body and she closed the eyelids firmly. She wanted to sleep as quickly as possible. She wanted to erase from her mind that Levi would leave her, that he would be someone else. That he could sleep with someone else. Levi turned in his sleep and threw his hand on the unhappy Theia's body. She wasn't sure whether she woke him up or he did it unconsciously, but he pressed her to his warm arms. She closed her eyes even firmer. She really didn't know how to fight the desperation that wrapped her chest so painfully. She didn't want to lose him and she didn't care if it was just a bond or love between them. His hand gently stroked her back and he leaned his chin on her head.

"Are you cold?" He whispered with his quiet, captivating voice, and even now she was not sure if he was asleep. She did not answer him, just pressed against his chest, trying to control her tears and hoping that sleep protects her from torture doubts.

After waking up, of course, she did not find him by her side anymore. She remembered slightly, he switched the patrol with Sebastian at night.

"I almost didn't want to wake you up. I thought Shorty won't be able to get out of you," Sebastian said, while she noticed that her hand blooded the whole bedding.

"Levi is still out?" Sebastian nodded and put chewing tobacco in his mouth. "RIP to your teeth after your bad habits," she said sarcastically again, leaving the bed and she started to change the bedding.

"After yesterday's night, I wouldn't want to know your teeth condition," he laughed and Theia's smile dropped. It seemed to him that he had never seen her blush so much before. "Even Shorty seemed calmer. I had no feeling that he stepped on the hedgehog right in the morning, " Sebastian watched Theia, who had a problem keeping her serious face.

"Could you stop to behave like Pyxis?" She turned to him while attaching the borrowed gear.

"He will execute us when we tell him we have lost Olivia," he said seriously. He rolled his eyes, and stepped to Theia, whose injury made it impossible to properly pull the straps. "This borrowed gear of yours was certainly from some guy, it's big to you. Come here, I'll help you, " he reached for the leather straps, trying to adapt its size. Suddenly Theia felt cold. She checked the window to see if it was open and kept balance, while Sebastian pulled the straps on her legs firmly. He bent to her, so she could notice that Levi had entered the room. She immediately understood the reasoning for the cold she felt. He stood in the door as pricked, and his sharp eyes watched Sebastian's hands, which touched Thein's thigh right now.

"If you need help, you should tell me," he said, irritated and they both alerted. Sebastian stepped back and Theia pulled her leg back to the floor. According to Sebastian's words, Levi seemed to be calmer in the morning. It is a pity that she never sees his good mood and he always steps on the hedgehog once she meets her. At least she felt this way. Levi walked towards her and pressed her to the chair where he forced her to sit down. "You destroyed your gear and hurt yourself, so you won't be able to use it anyway. I don't see the reason why you are wearing it at all," despite his words, he attached her tapes of the other leg. Theia looked disappointed to the window.
