Death Can Wait (Levi x Reader)

Ch.1 After the accident

It was strange for both of them to be involved in such circumstances. After a visit to the hospital and making sure Levi didn't have any water left in his lungs, two things bothered the janitor.

"I can't afford the hospital bill! You shouldn't have taken me here!"

"Don't worry, I already paid for it."

Although you didn't allow Levi to see the cost of the hospital, he still had his doubts. He knew that either you used your savings or you had an extra job because there was no way a teacher of high school got paid enough to pay 2,000 dollars in the spot.

"I will pay you back, just give me some time to-"

"There's no need to."

Now they were staring at each other in Levi's small living room. Hell, Levi wouldn't even call it a living room. It was just an old kotatsu that kept him warm during the winter. There was no TV, no magazines laying around, everything was perfectly clean. But there was no much to appreciate, it even looked like he just had moved into this apartment.

"Did you just move in?" you asked as you tried to make a little bit of conversation.

"No."

Levi looks at you, he knows that you were uncomfortable and he began to wonder if at some point you were going to ask him about what happened a few hours ago or if you were going to leave soon.

Although your clothes were already dry, your hair was a mess and it wasn't hygienic to stay in the same clothes. Levi wasn't one to invite anyone over, not even Erwin had dared to go to his apartment. But seeing that he was in 2,000 dollars in debt to you, he decided to be nice for once.

"If you want you can take a shower, I'll give you some extra clothes you can change you into," Levi stood up from the kotatsu already missing the warmth underneath the blankets.

"That will be good, thank you," you said as you followed him closely but not too close. It was strange that he hasn't asked you to leave his apartment and in all honesty, it will be incredible if he lets you stay the night.

Just to make sure he won't attempt to do what he did before.

After you finished showering and changing into the clothes Levi lent you, you waited patiently on the kotatsu again. It was a small apartment but the kotatsu really made up for the whole thing. You thought that maybe adding one to your apartment wouldn't be such a bad idea.

It was warm underneath and since Levi was now taking a bath, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to lay down and sleep for a few minutes.

You rested your head on the table, closing your eyes softly as you let out a few breaths.

And soon after a few seconds passed and the seconds turned into minutes and the more and more minutes passed and-

Wait.

"How long has Levi been taking a bath?"

You quickly stood up and headed to the next room. Knocking on the door lightly and pressing your head on the door, you asked for some sort of response from him.

"Hey, Levi, everything alright?"

But nothing, there was no sound. No response coming from and you felt like your heart dropped for a moment.

"Hey, Levi, are you alright?" You asked again and at receiving no response, you decided to do something that would be a bit uncomfortable but seeing that Levi wasn't responding and after what happened today, things like this were necessary. "I am coming in!"
