Levi X Reader 3

Ch. 24: Stay (Lemon)

You stand in the bathroom for the longest time after you had washed up. Reapplied your wound with ointment and rebangadged it. You stare into the mirror, not at yourself but at the emptiness, the quietness that filled the room with no one around.

Now laying down with no warmth coming from the other side of the bed. You looked at the emptiness then at Levi's pillow, as you grab it into your hands. Hugging it with your whole body, as his scent filled your nose as you breathe into his pillow.

That's when you realize that without him it's hard to sleep alone. And you know that without you, Levi won't be sleeping at all.

The thought of Levi standing in the rain, with his clothes drenched, came through your mind.

You quickly got up to grab a bag from the closet and went straight to Levi's closet as you grabbed his clean shirt, pants, underwear, socks and even his black dress shoes. You know he wouldn't feel comfortable in the clothes that had been soaked in the rain.

Grabbing an umbrella laying near the front door, you grab the keys and went out with the bag with his clothes inside, locking the front door.

You stood under the roof of the big entrance to the lobby, looking out at the still pouring rain. You open the umbrella and step out into the rain, quickly walking toward the direction to Levi's office.

Now looking at the door to Levi's office, you glance at the doorknob, with the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging around it.

You tap the umbrella against the carpeted hallway to shake off the rain. Then lift your hand where his bag of clothes hang at your wrist and knocks on his office door.

What you couldn't see was Levi sitting on his office couch. He had taken off his drenched white dress shirt, and only has his pants on, as he also took off his boots and socks which he lay neatly on the floor for it to air out. But his shirt was thrown on the ground like a wet pile of rubbish he didn't want. Levi had a small towel hung around his neck as he dries off. Sitting there silently until he hears you knocking on the door.

*Knock Knock*

"Levi..I know you're in there. Please open up." you say, as you grab the handle of the bag containing his clothes.

Levi got up from the couch and walks toward his office door. He lightly leans his back against his door, as you stood on the other side.

"Levi..I brought you dry clothes for you to change into.." you say, with all the Hope's that he would just open the door.

Then you hear the door unlock and Levi opens the door. You look at him wearing nothing but his pants and a small towel around his neck. Then slowly lifts up the bag for him to take.

Levi looks at the bag in your bag, and just to quickly, Levi grabs your hand holding the bag and pulls you into his office, as he shut the door behind you.

Now in his office, only lit by the moonlight seeping through the white woven curtain. You hold the bag to him, but he didn't take it. As the two of you stand there silently, you didn't dare to look at him as you don't know what kind of expression he would make.

You look at the ground, as you see Levi turn around and leave you standing at his door. Then just as slowly you put the bag down on the floor and turns to leave.

You reluctantly place your hand to turn the doorknob. But what you didn't hear was the silent footsteps across the rug covered wooden floor, his bare feet stepping right behind you.

You had opened the door, until Levi stops you from opening it further as he places the palm of his hand on it. With you still facing the door that you opened , which was quickly shut tight again as Levi closes it with one hand on its surface.
