A short drabble inspired by @wortverlust art done here. Short, but hopefully this gets me back in the grove :)

"Levi, come to bed." You try to coax him away from his desk. It's late and you're trying to sleep. His work is not disturbing you, but you'll be much more comfortable with him next to you.

"Almost done." He promises. It takes another half hour before he pushes away from the desk, getting into something comfortable and shutting the light. He can't even see straight anymore, so he knows he's done.

"About time." You say sleepily.

He mumbles an apology and slips in beside you, kissing your forehead.

Trying to close his eyes, Levi finds it doesn't work and ends up looking around the room and shifting about.

"Levi, please." Now that he's here you're ready to kick him out again.

He sighs. "Sorry." Comes out again. Even when he's exhausted, he's still restless.

"Turn around." You say, making him look at you, almost startling him to find you staring back.

"What?" He doesn't understand, so you repeat it.

"I wanna try something." Something so you can both sleep.

He's a little skeptical but does as you ask, and suddenly feels your arm go around him, fingers gently caressing his chest.

"What are you doing?"

"Holding you." You say plainly.

"Why?" Isn't this supposed to be the other way around?

You chuckle. "Because it's nice."

Levi takes this in as you put your other arm underneath his head, cradling his neck.

"Loosen up, silly." Levi doesn't even realize he's tense until you say something.

You shift closer so you can bury into his soft hair, enjoying the feel and smell that is Levi, and finally feel him settle some.

It's just a few minutes before you feel him shift again and you open your eyes to find him looking back at you affectionately.

You hold each others gaze for a few moments.

"This is nice." He agrees with your logic.

You smile and push his hair back, letting your hand slip down to his cheek. Levi wastes no time using his own hand to hold your there.

"Told you. Now go to sleep."

He can't help but look at you a few minutes longer before fully turning back around.

Your arm goes back around him and your leg drapes over his, and Levi thinks he could stay like this forever.

You fall asleep first, Levi following shortly, sweet words for you on his lips as rest comes.
