When the morning light slowly peered into the shared Captains of the Scouts' bedroom, it became a sign for them to pull away from their comfortable bed and begin the day, yet neither cared to wake up from their peaceful slumber, not even the hound and the calico on the pet bed nearby. Having very little sleep due to their insomnia of overworking themselves has become second nature to the Captains, yet these past exhausting four days have made them desperate for a break. Though Tessa was hesitant last night about not relaxing due to the paperwork on her desk, she realized Levi was right about her needing the pause most of all. It didn't dawn on her until after the passionate and intimate sex they had how much her body was exhausted until she finally collapsed on the bed. However, not much could be said for Levi as he lay awake to watch the woman he loves recovering in peace as he held her before sleep succumbed to him as well.
Levi's POV:
The birds chirping outside with the morning light's warmth slowly pull me from my sleep as I turn on my side to pull Tessa closer to my chest. The scent of strawberries and vanilla hits my nose as I bury my face into Tessa's neck to enjoy the peacefulness before we start our day. Of course, I feel gentle fingers run through my hair as I tighten my hold around Tessa's waist, and her sweet giggles echo into our quiet room. I kiss Tessa's neck as I guide her delicate hand to the back of mine. It tickles at first, but the more Tessa continues with it, the more I'm ready to be back asleep. Yet, Tessa catches onto my plan and stops, "Levi, we need to get ready." She whispers with a giggle, and I lightly chuckle as I kiss up her neck again, "Shh, let's enjoy five more minutes before we have to get ready," I reply through each kiss, which makes Tessa arch her back, "We don't get to enjoy moments like this anymore." I add while making it up to Tessa's jaw.
While I kiss Tessa's jaw, I hear her giggling before she turns in my arms, "If we have five more minutes, then we're cuddling because I'm freezing." She says before burying her face into my neck, and I roll my eyes, "I you wore more than this silken nightgown, you might keep yourself warm, honey." I tease, and Tessa pulls away to look at me, "So, you don't want me to wear these anymore?" She asks with a brow raised, and I smirk, "No, I do because I get to do this," I start as I pull her by grabbing her thigh, which makes her squeal when she is on top of me, "And enjoy seeing this breathtaking view on my lap every night and day." I finish before squeezing her thigh, which makes her moan, "Levi, you're teasing again." She says as she rests her hand on my bare chest. My eyes trail down Tessa's beautiful figure as I take her left hand on my chest and bring it to my lips, "Have I told you how beautiful you look?" I ask, and Tessa blushes, "Not today." She smiles, which makes me pull her back down to my face, "You look beautiful every day, Tess, just like right now." I grin as I kiss her hand again, and she blushes again, "I love you, Levi." She whispers before kissing my cheek, then rests her head on my chest again. My free hand runs through Tessa's curls, and I smile, "I love you too, angel." I reply before kissing the top of Tessa's head. As we both slowly fall back asleep, we hear someone screaming downstairs.
"CAT! LEVI!"
It was Hange, and by the sound of her screaming, something was wrong. Tessa and I quickly leave our bed and get dressed to see what the commotion is about downstairs. While I tie my cravat around my neck, Tessa hands me my jacket, "You don't think Eren accidentally shifted in his sleep, do you?" She asks, and I shake my head, "I don't know, Tess, but we need to hurry and find out." I respond while fixing the cufflinks on my jacket. Tessa whistles for Kip as she opens the office door, and we head downstairs to join the others. Everyone else asks us the same thing, yet we remain quiet while Tessa and I lead them to the mess hall. To our relief, Eren hasn't shifted, but he looks like hell. Did Hange keep him up all night with her Titan obsession? Tessa and I look to see Hange and Moblit standing in the doorway, "Zoe, what-" Tessa goes to ask, but Hange shakes her head, "Not now, Cat. We need to leave now!" She says before running out of the mess hall with the rest of us to catch up with her.
