I sighed as I sat on my bed.

"First aid kit's under the sink." I muttered. He grabbed it and sat in front of me.

"You're going to have to erm..." I began unbuttoning my shirt  and Levi immediately looked away.

"...i wear a vest underneath. You don't need to act so nervous."

Hesitantly, Levi turned his head as I struggled with unsticking the shirt from my shoulder.

Levi tentatively leaned and gently removed it. His hands tickled my shoulder lightly.

I pulled the vest sleeve down and moved my hair away.

"Right, now you can turn around." I nodded

Immediately it began burning and stinging like a fire was spreading over the wound.

"Ow! Some warning!or be more gentle at least."

"Sorry...i'm about to start again. And be quiet. We can't have you waking people up."

I hissed as he continued cleaning.

"It's going to need stitches." I sucked in a small breath.

" Hold still, I'm about to start and then we can put some gauze over it. Try to be quiet." I nodded and winced as he started.

"Ouch!"

"Fucking knife thrower. Wait till I-Ow! Levi!!"

"Stay still."

"Sorry, it just...stings."

After minutes of whining and tears, the stitches and bandaid were done.

I pulled my sleeve back on and avoided is gaze as my cheeks heated.

"Thank you for your insistence on riding with me. I-I don't know how I would've fared without you." He pulled a face.

"Seriously. I'd probably be dead in some ditch somewhere." He flinched.

"Don't- please don't put that image in my head." I looked at him. He sat on the bed beside me.

"Sorry. What I'm trying to say is you being there saved me."

"You literally saved me." I shuddered at the memory.

I could still see the surprise on his face when I...

Levi placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You did what you had to.it's not your fault he chose the wrong path."

"...thanks. besides, I think I like the thought of you alive better. " He rolled his eyes with a smile.

"So do I." I smiled.

"Erwin' s going to want the rundown tomorrow. You need to sleep." He stood and headed over to the door.

"Wait." He paused and turned his head.

"...Goodnight, Levi."

"Night, Y/n." He opened the door and stepped back as Hanji, Eren, Mikasa and Connie fell to the floor.

I stood and crossed my arms. Levi doing the same.

"It's way past curfew. So if you're not out of my face in two minutes you'll be running laps for breakfast. And Hanji, I'll see to it that you can't test on Eren for a...while."

Needless to say, they all bolted. I've never seen any of them move so fast.

He turned to me with a bemused smile.
