Chapter 25

[ (y/n)'s POV ]

After some time, we all decided to go to bed. Although me and Hange stayed up for a bit longer to drink some alcohol, when Levi came bursting into Hange's lab as we were laughing, shouting at us hysterically for drinking and being too loud as always.

It's kinda chilly today, I should've worn my cloak. I thought as I made my way to the roof. I wasn't feeling sleepy or anything, I just wanted to relax.

I sighed, looking down at my trembling hands.

The Colossal Titan was terrifying. The way he looked at me.. I don't stand a chance..

My eyes felt heavy and tears started running down my cheeks.

"I'm so scared.." I whispered, bringing my knees closer to my chest before hugging myself.

"You're scared?"

Startled, I looked at the person behind me, my eyes landing on Levi's.

I stood up and hugged him tightly. The crook of his neck got soaked with my tears as he stroked my hair, bringing me even closer to him. He let go for a moment, taking off his cloak and wrapping it around my shoulders securely.

"Wear it. It's cold." he said, putting some loose hair behind my ear. "I'm sorry about the other day."

"It's okay. I'm sorry, too."

He cupped my cheeks.

"Why are you crying?"

I rested both of my hands on top of his.

"I'm scared.." I whispered back.

"About what? Reiner and Bertholdt?"

"You're saying it like it's not a big deal." I silently chuckled. "We don't know when they are going to attack. Maybe we won't be ready until then! Maybe-"

"Maybe you're worrying too much." he said as he wiped my cheeks with his thumbs.

"What are we going to do Levi? We need a plan and we haven't come up with one yet!"

He just looked at me for some seconds before embracing me again, not really knowing himself.

"I'm sure Erwin will come up with something." he murmured, gazing towards the dark sky.

He embraced me even tighter.

"We should get inside." I silently spoke.

And with that, we got to his room/office.

"You can sleep here if you want, but I'll join you later. I have some paperwork to do."

Before he took another step, I wrapped my hand around his wrist and stopped him.

"What is it?" he asked.

My lips met his, making his eyes widen in surprise before he melted into the kiss as well. It was passionate and it lasted for what felt like forever. Our lips parted and we found ourselves lost in eachother's eyes. His hands roamed my body, running over my sides and down my spine as if trying to find ways to come closer to me.

"God I.. missed this." I whispered in between small breaths as he smirked and playfully bit the skin under my jaw, my hands lazily gripping his raven hair.

It felt too good. I lowered my head instinctively, but his hand trailed on my back, grabbing my hair and pulling them downwards roughly, making my neck fully visible again for him to enjoy.

Our kiss felt different this time. It was more hot-blooded. And as the moonlight that came through the window lit my face, his eyes softened when they met mine.

"Just looking at you..."

"Then don't hold back."
