Levi hardly slept.

When he did, it was very little, as he slept as light as a feather. When you were living in a world where your entire life could crumble in a matter of seconds, he realized that being aware of his surroundings was something he had to implement into his sleeping schedule. Good for when a titan tried to snap his legs like glowsticks, bad for when he wanted some damn sleep.

He was exhausted as Erwin had asked him to watch over the corps while he finished up some paperwork. And having a tired body and an awake mind was just mental fuckery.

His brain chose to single out the most boring, absolutely pointless pieces of information ever and bring his attention to it. Wow, the wall is white. Wow, the candle is melting. Wow, that glue stick kinda looks like a dick.

It did look like a dick, but he'd much rather sleep than observe it for the rest of the night.

That's why he called you in. You were his lover, that he liked to keep secret. Literally everyone knew, but let him think that he's sneaky, okay? It was embarrassing at first, asking you to sleep with him. A grown-ass man asking to cuddle, because he can't fall asleep. But now it seemed like routine.

He didn't know what it was about you, but you soothed him. You didn't expect words from him, it's like you knew how hard they were to form and just held him instead. And while most of his life was hell, being the one to be held was almost worth it. He's shaken from his thoughts, tired gray eyes looking towards his opened door.

"You're here. Fuckin' finally." He says blankly, yet with an etch of relief.
