So this part 2
Levi takes care of Petra in her drunken state

Bright sunlight streamed in through the old windows casting a light in the darkened bedroom. Levi stirred, turning over and grabbing hold of Petra without realizing what he was doing. He shuffled to get comfy remaining a tight grip over her, letting his dark hair fall to the pillow before shutting his eyes once again and being lulled into a deep sleep.

Petra shifted to find she was held by Levi's muscular grip. Her face flushed as she noticed his hardened shoulders and bare collarbone. Opening her eyes more, she found herself entranced and in awe by his tight core and sexy six pack. She knew he trained regularly but nothing could prepare her to see this. Especially this early in the morning.

As sunlight streamed in, she found herself facing a splitting headache. It was as if someone was constantly hitting her over the head with a hard object that she couldn't escape. Groaning, she tried to close her eyes, ignoring the throbbing pain pulsing throughout her body.

Exactly what had happened last night she asked herself and precisely how had levi ended up in her bed. Not only in her bed but shirtless also.

Confused, she found herself unconsciously checking her top half and was relieved to see she was still fully clothed. The baggy white shirt covered her respectfully, making her feel slightly more at ease.

Resting her head back into levi, she smiled to herself. Hungover or not she was in bed with levi. Her love and he was holding her tightly as if he never wanted to let go.

The hangover though refused to give in, tormenting her and causing her to be unable to fall back asleep. Sighing irritably, she shifted from his arms only to be pulled back in, stronger than before.

"Hmm...now what?" She asked herself watching the sleeping levi.

Facing him, she found herself taking in all his features. His usually neat black hair was now rumpled and unkept as if he had been tossing and turning all night. His striking jawline was towards the sides as he breathed lightly.

She found herself unable to stay quiet anymore and giggled. He looked so cute and innocent asleep like a young boy rather than the strong masculine superior. She found she liked both sides and felt an unexplainable sense of happiness and closeness to him that she got to see this side.

Suddenly he stirred, making her reflexively move back. Hiding her now reddened face, she slumped to his shoulder, shutting her eyes and pretending to be asleep.

Levi slowly opened his eyes to find Petra in his arms. Confused, he bolted upright loosening his grip abruptly.

What the fuck...." He murmured unsure of why she was in his room in the first place.

He turned to look at her and noticed she was still asleep. Her chestnut eyes still closed and her golden locks that usually looked so well kept now in tangles and stuck to her forehead. He had never seen her so disheveled and it made his lips curl into a smirk.

Her eyes fluttered open and widened when she saw him staring at her. Flustered, levi ran a hand through this already rumpled hair. A million thoughts flowing through his mind.

"Um..Petra"

he found himself stumbling over his words which was highly unusual and cursed at himself.

God damn get a fucking grip levi ...

Petra looked at him. Her face expression one of confusion and curiosity. She wondered what he was going to say next.

"Y-yes levi? I mean heichou. I mean corporal or captain."
She tittered. Of course she couldn't call him levi. He was her commanding officer, nothing more.

Levi found himself momentarily surprised and found his facial expression to change, slightly raising his thinly arched eyebrow. Immediately he realized he had changed his expression. Quickly, he changed it to his usual blank mask, trying to convey no emotion.

"Tch, you can call me Levi."

Petra looked at him surprised, wondering why the sudden change. She tried out his name
"Okay, levi"

She was shocked at how easily it rolled off her tongue. It felt as if she had been saying it her entire life and she immediately felt closer to him. Testing out the boundaries, she repeated flicking her eyes up to look at him.
"Um levi?"

He faced her blankly and answered her in a laid back tone.

"Yes, Petra?"
She smiled slightly and decided to just come out and ask him, feeling a surge of courage suddenly.

"What did you want to tell me?"

His eyes glanced to the floor. What did he say. Levi had never felt short of words and was usually very ill mannered and highly strung towards women. He found them all to be highly irritating when he came back from the missions.
So why was this any different?

For some reason, he felt Petra to be different. There was something about the innocent smile and her joyful personality that drew him towards her. He would find himself captivated as he would watch her face filled with determination and bravery in the training. Beating some of the other scouts in the hand to hand combat, he came to the conclusion. There was more than to meet the eye about Petra Ral.

Arching his back and stretching after completing a mound of paperwork, he would find himself thinking about her short copper hair blowing in the wind and that smile of hers that could turn any man weak at the knees. Sighing, he would clear his desk and tut at himself for being so ridiculous. She was just a soldier. He couldn't surely be attracted to her.

With his eyebrow creased, he realized he had been staring at her blankly for the past few minutes and instinctively turned away.

"Levi"

He faced staring at the floor, feeling a bubbling anger. Didn't she know that soft gentle voice of hers drove him crazy. It hurt to hear her voice. He couldn't control it anymore.

Without thinking, he roughly grabbed her and pulled her towards him. Petra was filled with shock as she leaned into him. This was so unlike him. Levi tightened his grip around her waist.
