Vile Exile

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Authors PoV

The secret was out. The secret that Sage and Levi are dating again had been revealed. And the members of the assault squad were thrilled. Amanda loved them together, they made one and other better, Balthazar liked the fact Sage made Levi smile, especially since the marksman used to be so bland and expressionless, and of course Hugo loved the together due to their chemistry and the love they hone for each other.

Levi refused to leave Levi's side after he was attacked by one of Juanita's goons. He decided it was safest for him to stay the night at the house, Ben and Oscar standing guard for the moment until Sage relieved them off their duty for the night. As Sage leans against the door of Levi's room, he looked at the stacks of guns that were hung on the walls, sage's arms folded over his chest whilst Levi sat on the edge of his bed "You don't have to stay here. I'm very capable of handling myself." He says finally, Sage nodding before pushing himself up properly he walks over "True, your capable of noticing small things. But your crap at close hand-to-hand combat. I won't allow you to be injured so, I'm not leaving." Sage retaliates, the swordsman standing over the silver haired male who sighs and nods "Well, don't hesitate to sleep. You need it just as much as I do." Levi returns as he stands and disappears into the bathroom to get changed into his nightwear.

It was obvious Sage felt anxious in the close proximity of Levi's bedroom, he was claustrophobic but that wasn't what was irritating him, it the sleeping marksman who managed to look good despite being unconscious. Of course that may be love blinding Sage but he didn't care, the fact that the love of his life was asleep in an oversized frontlines T-shirt and shorts was driving him mad. He sat at Levi's desk, his right ankle rested on his left knee whilst he subconsciously tapped his right index finger on his thigh, anxiety rippling off of him like his flames would "Are you okay?" At the voice of Levi, Sage almost jumped out of the desk chair, his hands clenched and eyes wide "Yeah why?" He returns suddenly, completely unaware of what he was saying "You were tapping your foot and finger rapidly, you seem nervous, are you sure your okay?" Levi responds, sage swallowing a lump in his throat visibly as he nods "Just tired.." he lies through his teeth, Levi looking at him skeptically.

Levi had only gotten up to get a glass of water. He knew Sage was anxious, he was on edge more than usual too, the two are usually play-fighting rather then expressing their love for one and other doing things such as cuddling and such they shoot at each other. It's just how they both work. But being alone with each other after Levi had just been on the edge of death had he not realised that the white haired Male was an imposter - things were tense.

Levi stood by his bed staring at Sage who was looking out the window at the night sky, his him rested in the palm of his hand whilst his knee shook , obviously subconsciously as Sage showed no effort in stopping it, portraying his anxiety clearly to the marksman "Your tired." Levi says finally, catching Sage's attention as he stares at the silver haired male, he shrugs and nods "it's fine though. I don't mind keeping w-" Sage begins, Levi approaching him and grabbing his hand, pulling him over to his bed "What.." sage mumbles, the small silver haired male yawning as he stretches "Were dating Sage. It's only natural we sleep together. Your tired, I'm tired. Ben and Oscar are keeping guard. Just get some rest you idiot." He says as he climbs into the bed, sage closes his eyes and exhales uneasily before following Levi's actions and climbing into the bed with him.

They both settled quite easily, Levi had his head nestled on the pillow and against Sage's chest whilst Sage had his arms wrapped around the smaller males shoulders, he rested his head on the silver of Levi's hair. Despite being totally and utterly comfortable and content Sage struggled to sleep, knowing full well Juanita now knows about Levi toyed with his mind. It was only because of the marksman's excellent skills at being adorable did he find himself slipping into an inevitable slumber.

Sage's PoV

Feeling something shift against my chest I look down uneasily, my eyes practically glued together I try to get a good look at Levi who's still fast asleep pressed against my body, his arms wrapped around my waist whilst his legs tangled with mine, reaching for my watch on his bedside table I squint at the time '10:22AM' exhaling as I place the watch back down I nuzzle the top of Levi's head, closing my eyes again I tighten my embrace around the smaller Male.

Sure it was unusual for me to feel this joyful, usually I have the weight of murder, death, wrath, regret all pressed on to me but laying in bed with Levi lifted that with such ease. I had never felt so content in the many thousands of years I've been alive. It feels incredible...

After finally waking up and finally getting up after laying in bed in each other's embrace, Levi had vanished into the bathroom to get ready for a mission the squad were going on in the afternoon whilst I pulled my gear on and regained my composure. I followed him down to the kitchen to find Oscar and Ben fast asleep on the couches in the living room, Amanda just finishing up placing blankets on the both of them "A hard nights of protecting. How'd it go for you Mr. Kageyama." She smirks as she glances at us both, I look away whilst Levi looks down "It's so fun to see you both so flustered. Two of the most strongest people in the frontlines, taking out the fact that Sage is one of the most strongest people in the galactic universe, struggling to deal with the new feeling of having to express emotions you'd usually keep to yourself." She explains as she walks into the kitchen, Levi obviously getting irritated considering the unimpressed look plastered on his face "Stop messing with them Amanda. They're in love, that's rare." Hugo says sternly, giving a thumbs up to me as he continues to cook breakfast I stretch, every bone in my back cracking.

Looking into the living room as Oscar and Ben awaken, stretching as they stand they look to me and immediately stand to attention "at ease soldiers, you've had it hard enough already. Go home to your families, I'll get Luke and Mary to take over for today." I smile as I enter the living room they salute to me before turning and leaving "Kindhearted to your subordinates, you differ from the other higher ups." Levi teases as he enters the living room from the kitchen I turn to face him "I have a meeting with the governors so I'm gonna head off. Make sure your with Hugo, Amanda or Balthazar at all times and come find me when you get back. Good luck on your mission." I say sternly as I kiss his cheek he flicks my nose as I pull back "Stop being overprotective, I'm going to be fine." He retaliates, staring at him I smile "Just be careful. Anything happens to you and I won't be able to handle the wrath that escapes me." I hum, my hand resting on the back of his head as I knock my forehead against his I turn on the ball of my foot and head towards the door "Same goes for you idiot. She wants you doesn't she, make sure she doesn't get you. You belong to me." He says as I reach the door I chuckle lightly, raising my hand before exiting.
