A pair of steel grey eyes glanced upon the clock by the wall.

Levi couldn't sleep. There was a tangled string of discomfort piling inside of him. His eyelids grew heavier by each passing second but each time he closed his eyes, a flash of image rendered his vision and made him jolt awake and turn around to the living occupant next to him.
He lost count of how many times he would break into cold sweat and his heart rate picked up before reassuring himself that the both of them are here and are still alive. Not crushed, eaten or dying in general.
He could feel Eren turned sideways in his sleep and Levi turned around to face him. He couldn't help but to touch his face- the slight contour of his cheeks and the eyelids that covers the vibrant green eyes that brimmed with determination.
He scooted closer towards Eren and draped his arm across the brunet's body, their legs tangled together and the blanket strewn on the floor. He's not bothered by the cold as he could fully relinquish the warmth on his skin radiated by the shifter.
Levi had placed his head closer to Eren's chest and he could hear the thumping heart beneath the flesh and blood of the brunet's.

They are going to wake up next to each other in the morning like any other day.
Levi's anxiousness dissipated and left him in an aftermath of relief. His eyes drooped before he was lulled to sleep by the sound of Eren's heartbeat.
