One-shots & Short Stories [Levi | Reader]

Levi x Reader ~ A Peck On The Nose {Modern AU}

Running out of the building and panting heaily, your breath going out of your mouth and forming white puffs of air for it was cold in the middle of December itself and you did forget to get yourself a jacket when going out. Well, you did get one, but it wasn't exactly for you. 

You see, how you got in this situation is a thing you'd hardly believe happening by itself, so let's just review it again, okay?

So after getting home from college, you were greeted with your best friend and roommate, Levi, reading a book on the couch as usual with the little difference that his face had more of a thinking expression on it and for a fact you didn't notice his eyes moving one bit, just staring ahead at the page of the book, already knowing you had to go and ask him what happened.

The converse between you didn't go that well, though. At the end of your questions he would just huff or click his tongue, refusing to tell you what had happened and making you frown at him and ask him again, being even more persistent. 

In the end he snapped at you and told you to piss off while going out of the apartment and the building itself. A thing you knew from all years of knowing Levi, you had already understood he was never the one to run away if he was truly angry. He was the one to walk away when he was sad. And sadness couldn't be put over his mind that easily, making you regret what you had done a few minutes ago and run after him, grabbing his coat from the hanger and not even bothering to put on any other clothes on yourself. 

Just with the boots you came home with and that sweater and jeans you wore the whole day at college as you sprinted down the stairs of the building complex, thinking about how badly was Levi mad at you. He wouldn't probably talk to you the next few days. Or even worse. He could even not show up the next few days at all. 

That's with having friends with big houses for themselves while you're supporting a girl in her senior year in college, paying half the bill for the poor small apartment you share. Looking at it like that, Levi did a lot of things for you even though you had met just in your sophomobe year of high school, when he was already junior year in college.

Many years had passed since then and you've had many adventures together, but seeing Levi this depressed was not one of them. 

Right now he wasn't even moving as you stood a few feet away from him, snow under both your shoes, wind just slightly picking up its pace and night already being over the city. Walking to the raven slowly, the hand holding his coat twitched in nervousness and worry for him as the man just stood there, head down, hands limp by his side, like a puppet with cut off strings. The sight literally broke your heart as you already stood right in front of him, that small warmness radiating off his body still as he was just in his long sleeved shirt and pants, not even being bothered enough to put on boots before running away. 

Now comes this thing. You thought of several variants of this happening. He could run away again was the first. The second was he could snap at you again. The third was he could try to pry you and your good intentions off him and want to stay all alone. And fourth was that he could actually let you just cover him with the coat as planned, but then you didn't knew anymore. 

So, as you saw his light shivering, you set on determination in yourself and wrapped the coat around his shoulders as fast and gentle as you could, making him flinch slightly, but do nothing else. Next thing you did was grab ahold of his hand, squeezing it slightly and smiling to him, even though he wasn't watching.

"Come on, Levi. Let's go back. I'm not asking anything anymore." You stated softly, but he didn't react at all and stood in his place. With a slight smile, already expecting something like this to happen, you ignored the cold piercing your body and continued to speak.
