The moment you 're inside the tent, you cling to Levi.

'Sleep next to me tonight, ' you demand, your voice carrying a childish defiance to it. Levi has been away from you for so long, you can no longer bear it.

Levi nods, done denying you from himself. He sets you down on the bedroll and immediately, you reel him in. You pull him on top of you like a protective blanket and kiss him needily.

He melts into the kiss. He lets out a sigh of absolute fondness and cups your cheek, thumb sliding over your cheekbone, just a tad clumsy like he always is.

He was bred to kill men after all, not to caress women.

'You need rest, ' he says quietly. You place your hand over his and nuzzle your face lovingly into it.

'Soon, ' you whisper. Then, you pull him in again and seek his lips with yours.

Somehow, you feel lighter. Like your burdens, even the ones you 're carrying all by yourself, are slowly melting off you.
