Hanji x Levi (Staying Strong Till The End)

Partnership

*Levi's pov*

What was I doing kissing my higher up on the head? I had been in a real mess since I realised that I could have lost Hanji at any moment. Then when she told me about her dream I didn't know how I felt. In a way I was annoyed that she had made this seem like a big thing when it was only a dream. But in the other hand I did see how it had kept her alive as that was all she wanted to tell me.
I had always been friends with Hanji but we did have that love hate relationship. I mean she wound me up something cronic and when she refused to bathe it pissed me off. But her with her crazy-ness and me with my need to clean could possiably work. I would always do everything jn my power to protect her and keep her safe so she would always return back home with us.
She had always spoken about me finding a woman and settling down to have a family but I didn't know if I could. I had lost so many friends and family members and I couldn't leave my partner to raise my child alone. Now she, she would be a natural. With some of the younger cadets who got home sick or who were just upset she would comfit them like a seriget mother. Eventhough she was crazy and over powering on the most part, she was all that and more on the inside.
My job was risky and everytime I went out, there was always a chance that I wouldn't return home. But then what's to say that I always return home then I would have nothing to show for my life, no family to show my importance. I was also one of the last Ackerman's which ment it was sort of my duty to carry on the family name.

That confirms it after I had finished my paper work then I was going to talk to Hanji about things between us. Maybe if I was cleaver I could get her to blaber out her feelings for me or maybe it was just time for me to make the first move.

*Hanji's pov*

I lay there on my own for a few hours but I was lonely and I was hungry and thirsty. Most of all I wanted to get something to drink as I had had a drink since this morning when I left for the mission. My vison was still foggy and my head hurt, so I was probably dehydrated. But every time I moved it hurt me as my stitches were still too fresh and exposed to be messed with. I couldn't hear anyone around in the hallway who I could call to in order to get me a drink. Slowly I began to wiggle towards the edge of the table so I could slide off and get on my feet that way. It hurt so bad but I manged to get my feet on the ground. The fround was hard and cold on ny fert, I was about to take my first step when the door was opened. Petra walked in and ran over to me when she saw me trying to move. "Hanji please sit back down you shouldn't be moving yet" she told me.
I didn't want to but deep down I knew she was right and that I was putting myself at risk.
But before I could go back to my position Levi walked in and when he saw me standing up he yelled "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Petra froze and jump around to look at him. Levi looked so pissed off with me
"I tried to get her back to resting" Petra told him.
He then came over to me and grabbed my shoulders and forcefully pushed me back to lying down to the table. It hurt and his grip remained tight on my shoulders. His fingers were digging into my shoulder blades and my eyes winced in pain.
"Petra go and make sure everyone else is behaving themselves as I'm not in the mood to be messed around!" Levi shouted at her.
She flinched but nodded and quickly ran out of the room and closed the door with a bang behind her.
"It wasn't her fault" I told Levi who still had tight grip on me.
"What were you doing in the first place you need to rest that wound of yours" he told me still sounding angry.
"I know but I was thirsty" I told him.
"Getting a drink, is that really worth you busting open the stitches?" He asked in that 'I know I'm right tone'
"I know it was stupid it was just a silly mistake" I said.
He then let me go and went to the bathroom where he got me a glass of water. I drank it slowly and there was an akward silence between us. After I had finished my drink Levi took my glass and went to put it back in the bathroom.
When he came back to me he sat down and said "You know I was thinking about your dream that you had"
I was slightly shocked that he was going to bring that up again so I looked over at him interested "I was thinking about the whole family idea but I wasn't sure if that was me, but I think I would like to give the relationship thing ago"
He sounded like a completely different person when he spoke about his feelings "Good for you" I smiled at him "So who's the lucky girl?"
He gave me a fed up look and sighed "Really? I'll give you a guess"
"Ummmm" I thought about it for a while before saying "Petra maybe? I don't know tell me"
"You, you dingus" he told me and before I could say anything else he had pushed his lips onto mine. I was shocked but I returned the kiss.
When he pulled away he then said in his normal tone "you need a bath though"
I could for once agree with him "Yeah I think you're right" I smiled at him.

He stayed with me for the rest of that evening all the way until I fell asleep again. I wasn't sure if I would be able to sleep since I had been asleep for most of the day. But I drifted off with ease I surpose my body was still healing and needed all of my energy to do that.

I was so happy that Levi had listened to me but I never thought that we would end up dating. This was the happiest I had been in a long time.
