Incubus!Levi x Reader |By Her Side|

"Levi, I promise, it'll just be an hour at the most! It's not like you have anything better to do." She told me with a pout, her gentle hand reaching out towards my own. I let out a forced growl, before retracting my hand that was almost in her grasp. I hesitated for a moment when I saw the slight pain in her (e/c) eyes, but nevertheless managed to frown towards her.

"You're such a pain in the ass. How many times do I have to tell you, no! Now get the hell out, before I kick you out myself." I tell her, as I lowered my voice to the point my vocal chords hurt. But I had to scare her away - no, I wouldn't let her innocent (e/c) hues see my other side.

"B-But you've been cooped up here all day, I just want-"

"Get this through your thick skull, you idiot. I don't want you here. Now leave." I mumble to her, before looking away. I couldn't see her expression, nor did I want to. Her beautiful face was probably frowning, and damn did I despise being the cause of her fowl mood.

"I-If you says so..." She trailed off, and I noticed the slight crack in her voice. I hated that part the most. Just like I wanted, she slammed the door shut to my office, leaving me alone in my thoughts. My miserable thoughts, of how I could never truly have her. My breath hitched as a waft of her scent hit my nose, and I mentally groaned. 'I honestly have the worst luck. She has no idea, either. At this rate, she probably thinks I resent her.'

A bitter and cruel chuckle goes against the pain I felt, my heart feeling heavier than it ever has. How ironic that was. She thought that I despised her, hated looking at her, and would go as far to say I could care less if she died in the grasp of a titan. But oh, how wrong she was. It was a bittersweet thing, as I pushed her away, she didn't know it was secretly a safe haven. And she probably never would know that I was just protecting her. From me. My eyes flash a dark crimson, before I managed to make them the normal bluish hue.

"Shit." I cursed, before I took a few deep breaths. 'I'll just... go on a walk, to clear my stupid thoughts. That should help.' I quickly walked out of my office. The hallways were completely abandoned; any other person in the Survey Corps were being obedient to their curfew, and were soundly sleeping. My eyes trailed to the color of the walls that were dimly lit, blue.

Like the ocean, or according to the Armin brat that is - the ocean was blue, it seemed. (Name) seemed so fascinated with the ocean, she made a shitty, but at the same time adorable song about those weird jellyfish things. Although I told her to the shut the hell up, I secretly craved her voice. Her voice was beyond perfect, I felt entranced when she so much as spoke to me, but singing? I was almost drooling.

'Dammit all. I go out here to stop thinking of her. And here I am. She dominates my every though.' Letting out a tired sigh, I suddenly freeze at a sound that I've heard all too often throughout my years of serving.

Crying.

And not just any random brats crying, no, the crying that belonged to the female that sent me into a mad craze with just the move of her lips. I felt a bit of sorrow grip at my heart, as I look to the door that belonged to her. (Name)'s room.

"Am I doing something wrong?" Her voice cried gently, making me bite my lip. She was blaming herself for my shitty actions. 'I'm despicable, aren't I?' It was disheartening to know that it was me that was the root of this pain that grew within her.

"Hanji told me it was just his way of being affectionate... but she's wrong. He really... he really despises me. I guess I can see why. I'm not that great, and he's humanity's strongest. He deserves a beautiful and strong headed woman. Not me." She pitifully whispered, her voice wavering with every word. My eyes softened, as I secretly disagreed with her.

How I longed to go and comfort her, to wrap my arms around her, and whisper sweet things in her ear. But fate was all too cruel. If I so much as hugged her, I would be pushed into an abyss of madness - my mind would be consumed with the utmost darkest desires. But I didn't want to taint her beautiful innocence. I stood there, next to her door, and listened until her sobbing died down. She must be asleep.

"Just once." I tell myself. I deserved this, after all I endured. I just wanted to see her peaceful face. As I silently crept into her dark room, and closed the door, I hid myself in the shadows of the night. Her cheeks were stained with wetness that made me frown, but nevertheless I didn't move.

"Levi..." I froze as soon as she spoke my name. Did she see me? I relaxed when I noticed her eyes were still closed, she must be dreaming of me.

"I love you." She whispered, before she didn't utter another word after she said that. I closed my eyes and bit my lip, of all the things that I expected by coming in here, I did not expect that. Not at all. Desire once again built up in my body, traveling like a flame throughout. I couldn't bring myself to stop as I walked towards her, and placed my hand on her still wet cheek, and gently caressed it, a frown etched on my face.

'I'm by your side (Name), even if you don't know it.' And with that thought, I left her room before I could do anything more.
