Summary: During your second week of Survey Corps training, your squad leader Levi is instructed to get some information on a few titans lurking outside the walls. Levi forces his squad to watch whilst he takes down the titans, returning into the walls with a fractured shin, a Brocken rib and a bruised jaw.
________________________
Both me and Squad leader Hanji took turns on visiting Levi after the expedition. I'm only a solider, but Commander Erwin asked me too because I used to be a Nurse before I signed up to the Corps.
Levi had been alone all day, and very spaced out. Tired, weak, and a bit drowsy from painkillers. I hated seeing my superior like this. All of us hoped he would recover soon.
I walked into his sick bay room and unexpected got greeted by a shirtless, possibly even naked, Levi.
He gave me a small smile as a welcome.
"Hey."
"Hi." He replied and tapped the bed weakly for me to sit down.
I noticed his hair was wet.
"Have you just showered?"
He nodded.
"Do you want me to put your bandaging back on?"
"Please."
I smiled and got up to get the supplies. I sat back down and helped him lean forward to start bandaging his chest up.
I felt his breath on my neck every time I moved to wrap the cloth around his back.
He grunted, "fuck this hurts-"
"I'm sorry, captain." I said, trying to finish quickly.
"It's fine I just-.. wish that you soldiers didn't have to see that."
"I'm all honesty, sir, it's nothing we haven't seen before."
He hummed in approval while I finished off bandaging his chest.
"Does the cast on your shin need replacing as well, Corporal?"
He nodded, and lifted the duvet up.
I gulped.
He casually lay with only underwear. Might I add the bruises and scars on his chest and jaw made the sight even more appealing.
I attempted to ignore looking at his underwear, but I failed for a split second.
"Stop staring, Harriet. You've seen me in swimming shorts, remember? When all of us went swimming?"
I simple cleared my throat and started working on his shin.
A faint knock on the door caused me and Levi to look at each other in confusion. Slowly, the door opened to reveal Commander Erwin.
I dropped the bandage next to Levi's leg and stood up to salute.
"At ease, Harriet." He smiled.
I nodded and carried on helping Levi.
"What is it, Erwin?"
"Annual testing is tomorrow. I wanted to ask if Harriet would either like to carry on helloing you recover and finishing testing another time, or be tested right away."
I looked at the corporal for direction.
"She'll stay and help me recover. I can assist her testing by the time I'm well."
"Very well. Thank you, Soldier."
I smiled and waved goodbye.
Both me and Levi drowned in the awkward silence after the Commander left. I wanted to ask why he didn't want me tested now.
"Are you alright with what I said?"
I smiled and nodded, before finishing up on the bandage.
"Good."
After I had put everything away, and covered Levi back up with his duvet, i sat on the side of the bed, my hands fumbling in my lap.
"Do you- do you want me to stay or should I just-.. wait for you to ask or-.."
He chuckled.
"What?" I asked. "What's funny?"
"You're very gullible, aren't you?"
"No." I sternly said, slightly huffing.
"Oh don't pout." He smirked.
"I'm not a child."
"Whatever you say."
I rolled my eyes and stood up.
"I'm going to get you some water. Do you want anything else?"
He nodded. I looked at him confused.
"What?"
He tapped against his cheek.
"Does your jaw hurt?" I sat down next to him.
He shook his head and simply tapped his cheek again.
After staring at him in confusion for a second, I realised what he meant.
I looked at him waiting for him to laugh, but he just stared back with his finger on his cheek.
I took a small breath before leaning over him and leaving a peck on his cheek.
He looked at me with a devilish smirk. Causing me to stand up quickly, my face heating up.
"D-Do you want anything else?"
And of course, like clockwork, he tapped on his bottom lip.
I cautiously walked back over, leaned down and softly kissed him. Before I could back away or protest, he held the back of my neck and kissed me back passionately. He bit my lower lip, making me gasp.
"Levi-"
He backed away for a moment. "Sh."
I felt him smirk against my lips.
Once we finally pulled away, after a few minutes of slow and sweet kisses, the look on his face sent a shiver up my spine.
"You're tense." He stated the obvious.
"I-I know. I can't help it."
His hands traveled across my waist, forcing me to lay down next to him.
"Corporal what if-"
"Sh." He whispers, my breathing becoming sharper by the second.
