Attack on Titan Levi x Reader

Photograph; Part 1

I almost forgot. the-anime-fangirl284, I owe you a dedication.

I stare into the open locket in my hand. The metal is shining gold, but the brightness is dimmed in this dark room. I sit with my back to the wall, curling the sheets and blankets around me. An aching pain runs up my throbbing leg. I feel the bandage, but still shift into position. Tears roll down my cheeks softly and I hear them tap against the comforter. It's been two weeks since I've last seen him. My heart aches and my mind twist at his memory. Tenderly I press my lips to the picture of him placed into the locket. My dearest captain Levi. Everyday my worry grows to the point where now that's the only feeling I'm capable of. I can remember the day he left perfectly.

The sky was changing it's colors from from violets and sapphires to yellows, oranges, and reds. Fluffy clouds puff across the morning dawn. A chilling breeze moistened the air and shivers skin. The flowers Levi had brought me dance in their vase, churning the water. I trace the bandages wrapped around my temple. Leaning forward I wince at the stinging in my left leg. After being caught in a titan hand, the beast had cracked the bone and luckily nothing else. I'd been dropped and that's all I can recall up till now. The door creaks as someone enters. It's Levi, and I smile softly to him. "How are you feeling?" He asks as he eases beside me. "Like I could fall into your arms at any moment." I say dramatically, using my arms for a full flamboyant effect. He grins and faintly laughs. Levi wraps his arms around my waist and I burrow into his chest, enjoying the scent of spice rising from his skin.

"I came to give you something." I crane my neck to see him and wind up landing a kiss on his jaw. An accident, but a happy one. "What'd you get me?" He reaches into the pocket on his uniform jacket. Draping through his fingers is a gold chain. A heart shines in the rays of sunlight, cascading through the open window. Dangling from the chain he holds a swaying golden heart pendent. I sweep my hair to the side and Levi reaches around my neck, locking the pendant into place. "It's beautiful."
"Open it," he whispers. My fingernail splits the heart and inside I find a picture and these words, You'll never be alone. Just wait for me to come home. What's that supposed to mean? The picture stuck inside was of Levi. He was smiling, dressed in his white pull-over and his hair a bit disheveled. His blue eyes radiant and his dark, ebony hair shining. He's so very handsome. "I love it." I take his cheeks and bring him close, drawing him in for a kiss. His taste is so addictive and the feel of him makes my fingers tremble as they glide through his undercut.

"Not that I'm ungrateful, but why'd you give me this?" The question mainly revolves around the engraved words. Levi looks down and thinks for a moment before sighing. He returns his gaze to mine and says, "Three days from now I'll be leaving on another mission. We're heading south, to Shiganshina. You're leg won't be healed in that time and I can't stay here. I have no idea what to expect and I don't know if I'll make it back. I just-"
"Don't talk like that. Of course you'll come back." I hold him tightly. I don't want to let go knowing when I do he might not return. I've seen him ride out beyond the walls more times than I can count, but this time it's different. There's no assurance he will make it back. Too much is possible on this mission and that's the scariest part. Not the titans. Not the terrain. Not the shifters. It's the thought of the unknown and unpredictable.
Levi runs his fingers through my soft, (h/c) hair and I whimper at his touch. He touches his lips to my covered temple. "I'll always come for you." His sincere tone makes me believe it a little more, but still. Love is not unknown to the realm of sadness and despair. Take Romeo and Juliet for example. Warm tears roll down my cheeks and his tongue wipes them away. That sweet tongue enters my mouth, intoxicating my every thought and movement. His jacket slips off and then his cravat, which I playful yank off with my teeth. I begin undoing the buttons on his shirt one by one as he sucks on my neck. I giggle, his tongue tickling my skin. He slips the tank top I'm wearing over my head and lays it aside. He cups my bottom and urges our hips to grind.... grind..... grind.
