A Reason to Fight (Levi x Reader x Erwin)

Chapter 19: The Morning After

Your POV

I hiss as I feel the light from the sun on my body. I slowly open my eyes but shut them again immediately when I see the blinding light peek through the curtains.

I groan and rub my head, as if that would get rid of the pounding headache. I was about to turn over and try to get back to sleep, but I finally realize that I'm not in my room.

I sit up slowly as to not get too dizzy, and look around the room.... Where am I? It's the same layout as Erwin's office, but with different furniture. Oh! It's Levi's office. How did I get here? Why am I here?

I'm still wearing all of my clothes, not that I thought Levi would do anything with me since I was so drunk. Just making random observations to try and keep my mind off of the pain in my head. Ugh, I need water, I doubt I drank any last night, so I'm definitely feeling dehydrated. Levi's bathroom should be inside his bedroom...

I look next to me, on the table and see a glass full of what appeared to be water. But when I see it, I shiver. It reminds me of the last time I took a drink of clear liquid sitting next to me the morning after a drunken night out thinking it was water... It was not.

I had to motivate myself to stand up, but that wasn't working. Every time I tried to stand, dizziness and nausea would take over. I sit back on the couch trying to think of what to do. I don't want to throw up on Levi's floor, he'll have me publicly whipped or something... I can't stand, but maybe I could crawl my way to the bathroom.

I let my body slither off the couch as if I were made of liquid. If I didn't feel as sick as I did I would probably laugh at that very ungraceful way to get off a couch.

When I'm on the cool floor I pause and just lay there. The coolness from the floor felt so nice against my tired body... Come on (y/n), no more staling, you need water, let's go.

I slowly crawl my way across the floor, having to take occasional breaks on my way. I have never been this hung over before, it's borderline unbearable. It feels like forever, but I finally reached the threshold for Levi's bedroom. Good, he's not in here. No one needs to witness this.

"What are you doing?"

Fuck.

I turn my head a bit to see Levi walking toward me, an amused expression on his face.

I stretch my limbs out and wave them around, "Cleaning the floor, sir." I say quietly.

"Too inefficient." I don't have to look at him to know he is smirking now.

"I'm getting water, if you must know. So, if you'll excuse me." I confess, continuing slowly crawling my way to the bathroom.

"I left you a glass of water on the table next to the couch." Levi sighed, walking around to stand in front of me.

"How was I supposed to know it was water?" I grumble, trying to crawl around him, but he keeps blocking my path.

"Do you have reason to believe otherwise?" He glares down at me.

"Last time I woke up after drinking that much the night before, my drunken self left me a glass of what I thought was water. Being dehydrated, I grabbed it and took a big drink. It was gin... and I puked everywhere." Talking about it made me want to throw up, I never want to drink again... But that's what we always say.

I look up to see an even more amused looking Levi, "I can see drunk (y/n) doing that to sober (y/n)." He comments.

"Yep, she's a gem. Now, if you'll please excuse me." I try to go around him again, but once again he blocks my path.
