bloody hands: chapter eight.
y/n wonders how long she's been in there. everything around her is numbing to the point she can't feel anything. she shakes her head, her eyes drooping.
petra's father was there when they entered. his words sting her heart. he was waiting for his daughter...gunther's family, eld's wife, oluo's family...all of them...how could she show her face when she failed to be there for them?
the knock on the door makes her flinch, she makes out levi's shadow on the door and sighs shakily. stumbling out of the tub, she got dressed, opening the door.
he stares at her for a few seconds before leading her to sit on the bed, grabbing a first aid kit for her arm.
" you seemed hurt too. " she murmurs softly, gently touching the cut on his cheek. levi sighs, leaning in the touch. " i'm fine. "
" no, you're not. " y/n rakes her eyes over him, " your ankle, let's get it checked up. " levi glances at her before he resumes wrapping her arm. " i'm serious, levi. "
" it's not hurting anymore... "
" it might be fucking broken. i saw the way you twisted it..." she sighs shakily, " please.." levi shuts his eyes, letting out a heavy breath, " tomorrow. i just want to sleep now. "
she purses her lips, nodding.
the two end up laying on the bed, holding onto each other as if they'll disappear the moment the other let's go. she nuzzled her face in his neck, clutching on his shirt.
silent tears match paces the more they lay like that, they don't need to say anything to each other. y/n knows this pain, knows this situation very well.
they've been here before...in a similar position with furlan and isabel. it is so painful trying to get over that loss, how was she supposed to recover from this?
how was levi supposed to accept this? why was it so bad for them to have someone as a friend and not worry they might die the next day?
she tightens her grip as a sob escapes his lips, her own eyes burning as she cries. she just hoped the pain would pass, she didn't want him to hurt so much.

" but you promised...."
" not now for fuck's sake, y/n. "
silence.
" fuck. '' levi grumbles under his breath, making his way towards her, " sorry, just...i want to be alone, n/n. " y/n purses her lips, sighing softly as he hugged her.
