Ch 20- The Titan and The Truth

Warnings: Canonical Violence, Description of injury, Slightly suggestive towards the end 

It was early morning when Levi walked into your room, intent on waking you up after the squad was given three hours to rest before the preparations for dawn. You had barely had a wink of sleep despite wanting desperately to fall into a brief slumber when Levi knocked on your door. Well, it seemed he was irritated by the lack of an answer as he had stepped into your room, closed the door and turned the light on. You groaned at the sudden intrusion of light and disturbance of your peace, pulling your blanket over your head. "Levi~," you muttered, "I swear I had another five minutes." You hear his footsteps approach you before he pulls the blanket off of you, a bored and yet somehow amused glint in his eyes. "Oi, we gotta start getting ready."

You keep your eyes closed as you bury your head into the pillow, knowing you would have to get up, after all, you were a Captain; you had a commitment and a status to maintain. Opening one eye you're surprised to see the fond look in Levi's eyes as he looks down at you. You smile softly at him as he catches your stare and his face turns to irritation once again. You laugh breathlessly at the sight and roll your eyes, how long would it take for him to let down his walls and give up that facade? "Hey Levi?" you say watching as he looks down to you. "What?"

You clasp his wrist and pull him down towards you making him lie on the bed next to you, movements too fast to stop or anticipate. He lets out a grunt of irritation before he sighs as you hold him in a deathly grip, head on his chest and arms around him. Somehow the feeling of his heartbeat under your ear makes it feel so much easier to fall asleep. Somehow the comfort of it all makes you not mind if the entire building was run over by Rod Reiss's Titan. Somehow, he's all you need. Silence takes over the room suddenly as your grip loosens, scared that maybe you made a move that crossed a boundary, but instead of the irritated look you expected to see, you only see content in his eyes.

Levi lets his mind wander as he looks down at you half asleep and holding him, he imagines a future where it's just you and him in a home of your own. Where maybe he didn't have to wake you up to kill a Titan, but maybe woke you up and took you on a date, on a walk, something normal. He imagines a day where he can let you rest past the inklings of dawn, and keep you in his arms without having to pull away. A time where just maybe he wouldn't have to watch you risk your life, heart in his throat and he wouldn't have to watch your worried eyes as he does the same. He is almost upset when you look up at him and meet his eyes, "We have to get up, don't we," you say sighing, a slight pout on your lips, before you let him go. But as you shuffle up to get ready for the day he suddenly cups your cheek with his left hand looking you in the eyes.

He leans forward and kisses you, slow and deep. It gets desperate and it's more emotional than you anticipated. He pulls you close as his hands travel to your hips making small movements as your hands creep up his chest and to his dark locks. You lose yourself in the moment, uncaring that there is a war outside, uncaring that people are waiting for the two of you. Because right now, it was just you and him. You take a breath, deepening the kiss and Levi follows suit pressing deeper into you. His breath is warm against yours, his lips soft and his movements gentle and yet passionate. You feel his hands rough yet soothing, caressing every inch of your body. You don't want this to end.

Reluctantly, almost torturously you stop and pull away. Leaning your head against his you both catch your breath. He cups your cheek once again, pushing a strand of your [h/c] hair out of your face. You smile reluctantly, knowing, it is time to go. You pull away briefly before standing up and walking to his side of the bed. You reach out a hand as he takes it almost reluctantly, and you pull him off the bed. You kiss his cheek as he allows you to hold his hand until you reach the door. Just before you open it, you hear his whisper in your ear, "We'll continue where we left off later."
