“Hug me so I can get warm" for rivetra ^-^
He turns to look behind him to find Petra, sitting atop hisbed, legs crossed and wrapped in the thickest layer of blanket he has coveringher from head to toe so that only a portion of her face can be seen. Her voiceif muffled against the wool and he can see her shivering from the cold, if herstating it out loud isn’t any more indication that is.
Though even if she is definitely feeling the worst of thenight’s chilly atmosphere with it being winter in addition, Levi could not findit in himself to give a damn. Choosing to look back to his screen with anunfinished report for Erwin, stupid bastard setting up the deadline just rightbefore their Christmas break, he mutters out an, “Well isn’t that a bummer.”
That earned him a pillow thrown towards him and causing someaccidental typos to his report. He hears a huff of indignation from behind andLevi couldn’t help but throw a glare at the offender.
“I’m serious, Levi.” She sticks her tongue at him, wrappingherself even more. “I’m cold. Freezing, even.”
“Well, you would not be this cold if you hadn’t eaten thatwhole pint of ice cream.” He points out, spinning his chair to pick up themisplaced pillow and placing it on his lap.
“I couldn’t help it,” she explains, pouting her lips and shruggingher shoulders underneath the thick layer of warmth. She couldn’t help it, shelikes ice cream “Ice cream tastes better in the cold.”
“And now you’re freezing.”
“It was worth it, though.” She defends.
Levi clicks his tongue in annoyance. He feels like he shoulddo something about this so that Petra can stop bothering him and get on with histask but on the other hand he thinks that maybe he should just leave her be.
He goes with the latter. Nevermind that she’s cold, it isher fault after all. Spinning his chair again to continue back to his work, heignores the copper haired woman’s complaints.
“I’m dying, Levi.” Petra says, her tone teasing, afterrealizing that he is ignoring her. “I’m shivering in the cold and I’m about todie from hypothermia.”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” he grunts out, pausing in his work topinch the bridge of his nose and not bothering to look at her. “You’re wrappedup in who knows how many lay–”
“–It’s just one blanket.” She cuts him off, hopping up anddown in her place in hopes of getting warmer, the bed creaking from theexertion. “Plus, it’s not enough.”
“Oh, for god’s sakes Petra.” He scoffs, spinning again hischair to fix her a look of disapproval with his arms crossed in front of hischest. “What the hell do you want me to do?”
Petra raises an eyebrow at that, completely caught surprisedthat he decided to prompt her for a solution. She gives him a momentarilythoughtful look before her smile widens and Levi only hopes it is nothing toodreadful.
“Hug me so I can get warm.” She says.
A hopeful look is plastered on her face, one that makes Leviall but sigh. “You know I still have to finish this report.”
“Just one hug, please?” Petra brings out both of her hands andpleads to him. She does not care if she’s letting the cold in, she just wantsthat hug now. “Come on, Levi. One hug is all I need.”
The raven-haired man internally sighs, wondering back on whyand how he fell in love with this woman, but seeing the genuine and repentantlook on Petra’s face, for bothering him a while ago probably, makes him relent.
Finalized in his decision, he quickly walks towards her, climbingatop his bed before encasing her still blanketed form in a tight embrace.
Levi feels her melt in his touch, a relieved sigh escapingher lips before pulling away from him to unwrap herself then covering them bothwith the thick wool, her arms winding themselves around his waist.
After a while he asks her in a whisper, arms still holding her.“Better?”
She presses herself against his chest and smiles.
