"Having a headache?" You asked, your voice filling up his ears with a melody he wished he could sing to.

Shaking his head, he denied it, but from the way he gritted his teeth and used the pad of his forefinger and middle finger to rub his temple, he was in fact having headaches.

"Tch, I'm fine" he replied, signing his name on a document before retrieving another.

Seated on the couch he had propped up against the window, you knew he was lying. He couldn't hide such things from you, especially not from your keen eyes.

Rising from your seat, you walked to his side, gently taking the pen out of his hand. He furrowed his eyes at you before softening, because he could never look at you in such a way. "How about a massage? I'm quite good at them" you offered.

He raised a brow, skeptical. "Tch, how are you sure? You could very well snap my neck."

You chuckled, rising your hand slowly to his hair and playing with it. Gestures such as these weren't welcomed, since germs and grimes tended to be left in his hair if it were. However, you, and only you, would be his exception.

Running through his wonderful raven hair, you gazed at him lovingly. "I've offered Erwin one and he seemed to really enjoy it" you said, unaware of the sudden tenseness of his back. "Hanji asked if she could also get one, and she complimented me on it. So there shouldn't really be any worry of me hurting you."

What was this feeling in his chest he was feeling? Like spiders crawling along his skin, his heart- before dying away and reappearing again and again, endless and undesirable.

Unable to let whatever it was fester, he took your hand, holding it, feeling the softness of your skin and the warmth of your soul. You caught your breath for a moment, surprised by the sudden intimacy before he apologized quietly and asked that you massage him.

"That is...if you truly wish to." His voice sounded eager and excited.

Smiling with his consent, you walked around and asked that he closed his eyes. "It'll help you relax and feel more in tune with your sense of touch." You explained, placing your hands on his shoulders. "Ease them for me," you said quietly.

He had trouble for a while before letting himself go, now allowing you to begin by pressing your thumb against the skin by his nape and the rest against his collarbone.

Slowly and surely, he felt himself relax, as if all the evil in the world dissipated by your touch, your joy, your happiness- everything, for he felt that way about you, deeply within the confines of his heart. He would one day share it in three words, with an additional one that started with your name.

After a while, your hands trailed to his hair, massaging his head while running your hand through those wonderful soft locks of his.

Out of pure pleasure, Levi had let out a small groan, quickly turning around and did that little thing where he covered his face with him arm.

You chuckled lightly and smiled at him, luring him into vulnerability only you had full access to. "You wouldn't mind if I change up your hair for the day, would you?" You asked, looking at him excitedly.

He looked at you for a moment, collecting his bearings before raising a brow, hesitant. But, whatever you wished was his command. "Tch, just don't make me look like an idiot in front of the cadets."

You nodded, feeling mischievous since this was so going to make not only the cadets laugh, but also the Commander and Hanji.

Gathering one side of his hair on the right, you tied it up before repeating the same thing on his left. After, you stood in front of him and marveled upon your creation. "You look wonderful, Levi!"
