I Am All Yours - Levi x Reader Book 1

Part 4

"We need to clean the wound. You don't want to die of sepsis do you?" His voice may have softened slightly, but that still didn't stop you struggling to get away from him. His arm clamps around you tightly even preventing you from squirming, so you resign yourself to fate. You rest your head in your hand in annoyance as he walks you to the medical room...

"What?" You hear Sasha cry out in surprise. Levi drops you down on one of the beds, creating a small cloud of dust to plume into the air around you. You look at your teammates with an expression of exasperation. Jean was silent, with one eyebrow raised.

"Doctor over here as deemed it necessary to diagnose me with death due to a cut on my leg." You look at your leg again, as much as it hurt, you didn't think that you would die from it. Sasha comes over to have a look and grimaces, while Levi washes his hands.

"I cannot diagnose you with death, however, I can pronounce you dead if you wish." He answers dismissively. You roll your eyes at him and catch a smile from Sasha as she turns to clean up the medical items she had used to patch Jean up. Jean flits his eyes between you and Levi, obviously suppressing a grin himself.

"I think we should go and see if we can make some tea don't you Jean? Give everyone a pick me up, and get our strength back?" You eye her cautiously as she motions suggestively to Jean to move.

"Right." Jean gets up and strides out of the room. "Keep her in one piece Levi. We do need to get home." Levi pays no attention to him as he sifts through the supplies in a cupboard next to the sink. You sigh as you sit in silence, feeling quite awkward, you weren't used to this feeling. He wasn't shouting at you, or making weird comments. In fact, the air was calm, which set you on edge even more.

"Put your leg properly up on the bed." You do so without complaint and watch as he cleans your wound, hissing when he caught part of your torn skin. "You whine like a girl."

"If you hadn't noticed, I am a girl." You retort, frowning.

"Oh, I had. Just like every other male in the corps." The words were cutting, with a premeditated sting to them.

"Well, I would hope that most people could figure out I was female, Levi. Otherwise, I would really worry about the people who were to lead humanity to salvation. Don't you?" Your frown had not left your face, it was starting to get stupid, did he honestly think that you had been with every single guy who had even looked in your general direction?

"Tsk." He finished cleaning your wound and bandaged it to the best of his ability. He didn't make much eye contact with you at all, almost as if he was avoiding you or your questioning. You swing your legs round off the bed and stand up gingerly. The bandage wasn't too tight and seemed to stay put.

"Levi, can I ask you a question?" You astonished yourself that you were being polite to him. So was he, as it was the first time you saw him make eye contact with you for a while. His blank expression doesn't change but he nods as he washes his hands again after cleaning up. "What did I do wrong earlier? I thought I had done everything we had been trained to, but you were seriously pissed at me. I want to know why."

He stopped what he was doing, placing his hands on the sink and leant on them. His head bowed, his hair in front of his eyes and he gave an audible sigh. He was acting strange like he was fighting with something, or maybe trying to stop himself from shouting at you.

"You know what forget I asked-"

"No." He said sharply. He didn't move from his position, he could have been a statue. "You didn't do anything that I would not have done. The reason I was pissed with you... Even if Erwin has told you that we are equals, you, all of you, are my responsibility. I was not able to do what I should have. I was angry with the situation."
