Chapter 5:

The Map that Leads to You

-x-

So yeah, this is a part of the song 'Maps' by Maroon 5.

Felt like it suits well in this chapter. And I can't take it out of my head.

And about the previous chapter, I do love Romeo and Juliet like a lot, most especially Shakespeare. I also assume that they kinda exist in their world since Hanji even recalls about history before like the knights and Sawney Bean, which is way past already.

And yeah, I believe this was supposed to be uploaded last two days ago and agrrrhhh. I wasn't even able to do major editing in this chapter and it sucks. Anyway, I still hope you enjoy reading this chapter and reviews are very well welcomed.

Hanji and Levi were slowly coming back to their usual old times together. Hanji now could lean in with no regrets onto his kisses on her and he would give her cheek a kiss in front of everyone or anywhere. She would hug him tight and clung into him if he thought of fetching her inside of her office, as he would find her sitting on top of her table and from there she would hug him. They were starting to get back to know each well again and fill up each other of what they've missed.

The following days went better and casual like before for them both, doing great with their missions most especially that Levi has finally returned and can now kill titans effortlessly, but still in a bit adjustments but Hanji couldn't feel even happier for his great comeback, most especially that her wonderful ideas and plan went well for Levi's recovery of his body. He still does look like the same, since his clothes mostly covers his prosthetic parts and could only show a little of it. Nonetheless, he's like one of her successful experiments ever.

She thought about it, he was always the best experiment in her life. From the way they even started their relationship until they married, everything was not planned but was rather 'experimented' and tested and was found successful in every way. She never had expected to have her husband be the best experiment in her life.

She was marveled and looked at Levi as he swung and fly, killing and targeting numerous of titans just like he was before, looking at him with a wide smile on her face and hands clasped together. When he was done, he was fully aware that Hanji was watching him and walked towards her.

The others were already going on their way and they were left to finish a couple of titans in the left side since a huge number of titans appeared and he needed to help. Hanji couldn't stop worrying and followed without him knowing.

"Didn't I told you to stop worrying?" he told her with a wobbly voice. As much as she's concern towards him, he is too towards her.

"You are so back to yourself Levi." She gleefully replied as though she didn't heard the irritation on Levi's question and embraced him quite rather in an instant. Moblit was watching the two, making sure that they are to be alerted if something bad goes on from a distance.

Levi smirked but was more worried about her. She's the Danchou and all orders of direction are coming from her and she's here on his arms, giggling like some kid instead of instructing their soldiers on what to do.

"I thought you won't be able to do it." Hanji whispers on his ears.

"You should be instructing everyone about our directions, not getting all this giggling towards me Hanji" he held her chin and stared at her in the eyes. She smiled and kissed him on the lips.

"I've told them to go straight in the nearest camp and should rest there for fifteen minutes or more until I made decisions where to go next" she replied breathless.

"But in truth you just sneaked out so you can keep an eye on me."

"I just wanted to see my husband kick some titan ass" Levi smirked and pulled her into a tighter embrace. It may be annoying but it was sweet of her, doing her role as his wife. Besides, there's no need to worry since she was able to place final orders before sneaking to see him.

When they got back to the walls, Hanji has thought of finally placing Levi back as the Captain and remove Chris from being the tentative captain.

Chris was fully aware of her plans since he saw how Levi fought all the titans like usually does, and he had a hunch that his ass might finally get kicked down now and be somebody's assistant or some shit, and he didn't like that thought.

It didn't take long for him to finally confirm Hanji of her plans towards Chris and decided to had a little conversation with her. He watched carefully and approached her when Levi was not around her so he could talk to her as smoothly as he wanted. Hanji went inside her office and sent Moblit on some errand and Chris went inside, such great timing indeed.

"Danchou" he started, voice always too flirty on her ears.

"Oh Chris! You didn't knocked I suppose?" She thought that this is now time should could use to tell him that he is about to have his ass out of his squad and had Levi be the Recon Corps' Heichou once again.

"Well, why should I?" he raised brow, irritating Hanji.

"I believe I need to inform you about your position now on the Recon Corps, Chris. Since Lev-"

"I know, I'm not stupid. I don't care, do whatever you want, he can be Captain again, ain't my loss anyway." He chuckled and didn't show any sign of anger.

He made his way towards her chair and sat, placed his boots on top of her table like some boss he was.

"So it's official now then. Get your feet of my desk Chris." She gritted her teeth. Damn she wanted to dispose of this guy.

"How did you manage to forgive Ackerman, Danchou? After learning how he fucked Petra when you were still in a relationship? When you were so in love with him as he fucks your comrade around the headquarters?" he smiled at her and is now starting to have fun. He sure loves to tease her a lot.

Hanji didn't move from where she was standing. Her hands balled and eyes dropped to the floor. She knows what he is saying, and now she too realized and thought about his question. How did she manage?

"You are one hell of a really understanding wife, Danchou, or maybe a martyr. Aren't you scared of him cheating on you again? He just proved to himself that you won't even last a year without him nor really leave him the least." He does sound amazed and surprised, but he does want an answer, just curious of what she is to answer to his questions.

Hanji felt as though her heart was being tightly held inside of her chest. It's hurting her and mind is becoming cloudy with uncertain thoughts. She didn't want to listen to Chris but her ears does and it's not good. She has left the negative emotions long before and had sworn she has forgotten of Levi's infidelity but has she? The same feeling is going back again, so she thought, has she really had gotten over from Levi's infidelity?

She did left Levi for a couple of months and then managed to forgive him, she believes and set aside the unwanted negative feelings but now that she is being reminded about the possible fact, she can't help but feel worried.

As he saw Hanji didn't move nor answered back, he smiled devilishly to himself. He stood up an approached her and lightly placed his hands on her shoulder and squeezed it gently.

"Danchou, Danchou. I know it hurts but you don't need to be treated in that kind of way like you're some trash or some slave to him." Hanji didn't faced him, eyes still glued on the floor.

"I am perfectly sure you know how he fucks you and made Petra feel the very same feeling like yours. She had tasted your husband and he had tasted her. You don't deserve an unloyal man like him as a husband." He pulled her chin up and she was forced to meet his eyes despite her efforts not to.

"You don't deserve him, you still have your liberty to run away and be free like any woman and try to taste other man out there. It's not yet late for you Danchou. For a woman who's loving and loyal to a man like you, you deserve to be treated the same." Chris forcefully hugged her and she didn't hesitate. She didn't squirmed away nor moved from his embrace, and she could swear that the pain in her chest is starting to make her eyes wet.

"It's okay to cry out on me Danchou, I can feel you." His hands crept on her hair and carefully pats her head. "I know. The way he enters her and make her wet just like what he does to you, why can't he just do it to you alone? And his words, that you got nothing much compared to her? That is complete deception Danchou! A total betrayal of your marriage! Remember, a betrayal and infidelity in secrecy, is still a betrayal and infidelity." He stopped when he felt a sharp metal was his chest.

"Go sniff someone else's problems. You don't need to fuck around me and Levi's marriage. Speak again and I swear I'll blow each of your lungs a hole." She said it with pure disgust and hate, then he looked at him with eyes about to kill.

He is right, every bit of his words, but no matter how much he is correct and accurate, he doesn't have the right to insult Levi and talk about her marriage just like that.

Chris only laughed and let go of her. "I prefer that kind of pain rather than the pain I will feel from my lover who will cheat on me." His whisper was enough to make a tear roll down on Hanji's face and bit her trembling lip hard. Somehow, she can't deny that he is saying a horrible truth.

Chris made it out of the door and Moblit came just in time he went out. He saw how Hanji crept on her chair and sighed, placing her head down the table, wanting to sleep the pain away instead.

"Danchou, are you alright?" Moblit asked. He didn't like the atmosphere that Chris left inside the office of Hanji.

"Yes I am. I just inform him that he is no longer the captain. I just need to shut my eyes." Moblit sensed that something more than that.

He decided to went out and leave Hanji sleep for a while. He quickly saw Levi giving drills on the new recruits as he practices too in the fields and talk to him about what had happened and how Chris went out with a big smile on his face. Levi felt his blood boil.

"Where is she?"

"Sleeping in her office."

"I need to go there and see her." Moblit was about to pull him and tell him to just let her rest but Levi was quick and dashed inside her office.

Hanji was still there, head on her arms sleeping uncomfortably on the top of her table. He could swear that she'll have her back slouch harder once she wakes up.

Hanji felt a pair of hands that lightly shook her from her sleep and she groaned.

"What is it Moblit? Didn't I said th-" Hanji was surprised to see that it wasn't Moblit at all. She isn't ready to meet Levi and seeing him at this very moment, her chest tightened with anger and pain and felt her body tremble in despair.

"I know that he went here. What did he told you? Did he hurt you?" Levi asked softly. He kneeled down to see her face and search it. He can feel that something has gone wrong. She didn't smiled nor touched him, she was just staring at him like some stranger.

"I just told him that you are to be the captain again and that he'll be just any ordinary soldier around and that he would be informed soon of his new squad." She returned to face her table and wanted to descend her head to sleep again. Her head was pounding from the sudden wake that Levi did to her, and she wanted to continue to her sleep. She touched her head and slightly closed her eyes, she really needs to put her head down and rest.

Levi eyed her carefully. He could swear that something is up and is not good. "That's not just had happened, isn't it Hanji?" he touched her hand and she shivered. She was supposed to be used and loving his every touch, but now it's suddenly different.

"My head is pounding Levi. We can talk later. I want to sleep." She replied without even lifting her head to look at him.

Levi sighed. It only took a few minutes and Hanji was again knocked down, sleeping like a rock. Levi scooped her on his arms and brought her home. He didn't want her to wake up with an aching back and didn't meet the eyes of everyone along his path as he carried her. His face was blank and everyone got out of his way.

When he reached home, he gently tucked Hanji on their bed and she instantly squirmed on their slowly traced with his finger the feature of her hoped when she wakes up, she'll tell him of what had happened.

Unknown to Levi, that as Hanji sleeps, she could swear that she could feel her heart starting to crush hard into pieces and had her mind let her see of unwanted things about Levi and their future.

-x-

This is not supposed to happen. But it's happening again. Levi couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I'm sorry I fucked up Hanji, but I am asking you please, just please..." he's kneeling still in front of her, kissing her clasped hands on his, massaging his cheeks onto those hands of hers when he stops the kissing.

Hanji was looking at him with dead eyes, no emotions and just blank. "I'm sorry I can't forget. I really do wanted but I just can't erase them" Hanji said as she slowly begun to sob, her eyes were closed as her tears runs down on her cheeks. She can't forget and move on easily, she just can't, no matter how much she tried.

He whispered shallowly onto her, feeling his self-getting panic from within. "Don't leave me..." His heart is breaking into two, he could feel it on his chest. The sight of Hanji crying again because of him- he can't bear making her cry again anymore and he wanted to be atone for it, have his arm and leg cut again, or be stabbed as many times as she would like. If that was the only way she could forgive him and forget everything, fuck he'll do all those shit.

"I know you never wanted to hurt me at all Levi, I do believe you but I just can't seem to forget horrible memories. It was just too painful to bear and if we both wanted for me to feel better, let go of me, just for a week Levi, just a week." He didn't looked at her, he didn't want to face her because a tear just fucking made its way towards his cheek and another is now ready to make its way as well.

"I can't just allow you to leave me everytime so that you can find the feeling of yearning again towards me. I don't like that idea, it's just fucked up." He can't believe that her leaving was just an easy decision to make and to do. How can she believe that it will help them solve their problem, by leaving him? Even if it's just a short period of time, it'll surely place Levi in a state of despair.

"I know but just let me forget, let me miss you someho-"

Hanji stopped when she saw Levi rubbed off something from his cheek and in the corner of his eye, jaws tightened as his right fist balled. Was he crying? She didn't know. He let go of her hands slowly, stood up, eyes hiding behind his hair, hiding his emotions, not wanting to show her how much he is deeply hurt by her decision. Even if it's only for a week, what if she thought of never coming back anymore? Or what if she decided to do it more frequently? He wanted to fight and strengthen their marriage, but how can he if she needs to frequently go away?

He made his way to their bed, sat and had his hands pressed on his eyes. He didn't want to watch her pack her things and go away again. He can't bear to watch her make her way towards the door and never come back. Even if she does come back, her going away, leaving him still fucking hurts. He may be able to live alone in their home but she knew that he is still somehow emotionally dependent towards her. He fucking needs her, more than that, he fucking love her so very, very much. Thinking of it made him grip on his eyes even tightly so he can stop the tears from falling.

Hanji's sobs soften, but seeing how Levi reacts like that, she can actually see his sadness. He is hurt by her decision, seeing him go away now made her rethink of her decision once again. Is she doing this for them or for herself? Is this even right after all? Why can't they just find conversation a solution to their problem like any other married couple does? She knew it's not right to leave Levi alone, he practically got no one, only her. They both have a huge responsibility towards each other, and that they are aware of. She loves him, and she is certain of that but she is too fragile to even delete some horrible memories out of her memory bank and heart. She could still imagine perfectly how he kissed and enjoyed fucking Petra even if she didn't witness them herself. She was too imaginative and his words itself was beyond for her to control herself from not crying.

In the midst of it all, has she forgotten that he loves her?

She slowly walked towards him and she could swear that he is sobbing so soft that if you didn't focus on his figure, you might think he was just laughing. His shoulders were shakily moving as he tries his best to glue his hands to his eyes. She stopped right in front of him and she caressed his hair softly, despite her hesitation of doing so, fearing Levi might just push her away from him.

But he didn't. Instead, without lifting his head to look at her, he removed his shaking hands away from his eyes and snaked to her waist, hugging it very carefully as though he might hurt her if he didn't. From his hair, her hand rested on the back of his neck, slightly pushing his self further to her, encouraging him to cling on to her.

Hanji broke the eerie silence between them. "Levi... I am sorry, for being weak."

Did he hear her right, that she said that she was weak? Where the hell did that came from and would she feel such a thing? After enduring him despite him cheating on her when they were still just dating, after she endured all the nerve-wrecking procedures and shit she need to face just to have him gain back what he has lost and most especially, she fought hard despite all the gossips, despite the harsh thoughts over him, she defended and stood by him, even if she herself is breaking as she remembers he and his words when he cheated. And then she'll say shitty things like she's weak? What the fuck was that for?

"It's my fault. You are not weak. You didn't do shit. If I didn't do it, then we'll be pretty well by now and not having this trouble, not having our marriage on the line" he bluntly replied. "but if it makes a difference now, I hope you know I didn't meant to say those words to you. She maybe tighter, but yours the tightest I swear and I am honored to have you loosen yourself for me as I loosen you with all my will and only because of me, and I can't thank you enough for allowing me the very first of everything about you. You're the bestest in bed that no one could ever replace. If I even had fun with her, then I shouldn't have cried that time and wished we didn't stopped. You are my only life, not her." and he couldn't continue any longer. "I'm fucking serious." Was all he managed to add. He is honest of his words and knew perfectly that what he felt with Petra was pure lust, not love. He knew it's pointless but she needs to know, not that he wanted to make it up to her but he wanted to clear things up and hopefully, she will believe him.

Hanji loves Levi, and there's no way for her to deny anymore or prove to herself that they do not the share the same feeling of being with each other's arms. She tugged his head even more to the middle of her chest. His breathing was hard and heavy as his arms were trembling under his warm embrace on her waist.

Levi then loosened his embrace on her. "If you're going to leave, then I'll help you pack your things." He said that as if he wouldn't get hurt in helping her do so. He is just helping himself incapacitate his heart even worse.

Hanji was surprised of his sudden bold move and smiled softly. Slowly, she descended herself, now it's her time to kneel on the floor and look at her husband and have a peak on his face. The tears were gone but his eyes were red from the rubbing of his hands, trying to stop himself from crying just few moments ago. It's disheartening really to see him like this, the World's Strongest Soldier being hopeless in his marriage. She didn't mean to make him suffer like this too, it's really upsetting. She never even thought that she is worth enough to shed tears with in a relationship for and here it is, even the world's strongest man was the one who is shedding tears in defeat just for her.

She closed her eyes and inched her nose closer to Levi's, as he did not move. She shouldn't be doing this because it just makes his heart crumble even more, the fact that he will miss her being sweet and shit like this towards him and he won't be feeling this for another set of days.

"You are free to stay if you want to. You don't have to leave just to feel better." As though feeling her sudden change of plans, he tugged his left mechanical hand and had her hair tie hook on its fingers. Her hair fell on her lower than her shoulders and her glasses went to the tip of her nose. He played on her hair, trying to remember all the sweet memories that they had before all this commotion. How he just wished to have the same eternity of peace once again for the two of them. "We can do something about it. We can just write to each other what were the things we wanted to change or things that we can't say" he suggested. He is too desperate and now he is talking like some shit just to reach out on her.

He didn't mean to sound over dramatic or too emotional but fuck, it's hurting again deep down to his core. Levi's lonely whispers haunt Hanji, driving her even more insane. She looks down on the floor then to her lover's heartbroken face. Without hesitation, she removed her brown uniform and threw it on the floor as Levi watched in surprise. She is not wearing a bra as her nipples are very much obviously hardened under her yellow shirt.

"What the hell are you doing Shitty Glasses?" he asked in choking manner.

She didn't answered but her breathing quickened. Levi was astonished by what she is doing right now. For the past weeks, he tried to check if they can get back their previous happy sex life back but the moment he squeeze his hands to her breast, she started to cry softly and won't stop. Even if she didn't tell him to stop or the reason why she acted like that, he just had a hunch that it makes her recall the unfortunate words that he showered to her when he cheated on her few years ago.

But now she is trying, thinking that maybe this is the way they could fully mend their broken marriage, the last piece of the puzzle. They both needed to be reconnected to one another, heart, body and soul, completely, as one.

Her hand smoothed his hair, went to trace his ears and settle on his cheek. He closed his eyes, sighing in contentment. What was she doing? Doesn't she realized that she is just tormenting him even greater? "Hanji, look if you don't stop doing this, I swear I'll change my mind of letting you have your one week vacation without me in your life." And he hoped she does won't stop.

And she didn't.

She bit her lips first before flashing him a sweet soft smile before standing up, opened her shirt slowly, and had it hang loose on her, exposing the beautiful curves of her breasts. Levi had his mouth open, shocked of what she just did.

Not long after she placed herself on top of his lap, had her hand crawled behind his neck and placed him in a soft embrace, she smiled at him, and kissed his head slowly as her hand placed glorious touches along his hair. His breathing calmed down as hers becomes faster, as though she is nervous of some sort. Levi's hand explored the sides of hers, curious and find it cautious to touch her from her waist to her side breast. As Hanji settles her nose and lips on his hair, Levi placed very light kisses along the valley of her breast. When Levi feels satisfied on his kissing to her, his hands carefully removed her remaining upper clothing from her shoulders to the floor. Hanji's hands crept on his face from his hair and had their noses touch as they stared at each other, eyes both stinging from trying not to cry. Levi drowned into her softly into her chocolate brown eyes as though he is asking that, is this okay? Or are you sure? And as though he did vocally asked her, she smiled softly and nodded. When she did, she slowly kissed his mouth, slowly teasing him as she slid inside his mouth first, leading him, telling him that it's alright.

Levi on the other side was wondering why she is doing such a thing, most especially that she restrained having sex with him for how many months. He find himself a bit reluctant on what he is about to do, and yet he is still following her leads.

Hanji pulled away slightly, enough to have their noses still stick to each other as she dwell in within his eyes, trying to push all the barriers away completely, trying to get back to him entirely, forcing herself to remember that she is his as he is hers. She traced her fingers on his cheeks, to his nose and eyes and finally to his lips.

Then he felt determination to satisfy her tonight. He stood up, carrying her in his arms and descended her slowly on the bed, loving how her body arched in his mechanical arm, not breaking their stares. Hanji's hands crawled on the back his neck for support and lovingly kissed him on his mouth as he responded gently as he could, wanting to close the gap between them.

When he breaks the kiss, he immediately stumbles on her pants, wanting to open it and indulge in. But only having one hand to do the job, he realized he can't open her pants properly with just one hand. When Hanji saw his concern, her hands slid slowly to her pants and had it opened as he looked up to her in surprised. In turn, she smiled at him, telling him that she got this and even worked on his pants too. When she managed to work on his, taking her time, he quickly pulled her pants from her legs and removed his entirely from his too, exposing her completely naked body as she tried to pull him by the back of his neck. He smirks as he does so and damn he is just so sexy whenever he smirks as they do this. She placed his arms to her legs and hands to waist and carries her again as they resumed their former position.

She was smiling with ecstasy as she resumed to sit on top of him and work slowly on his shirt. Levi was just staring at Hanji as she does his shirt done.

"Aren't you suppose to do something as I work on your shirt?"

"Yeah like what?" and he angled his face on hers, tilting his head like some kitty cat asking for food.

"I don't know, kiss me while I undo your shirt?" and she giggled.

"Staring at you is enough, Shitty Four Eyes" and he smiled warmly at her.

"I miss your sexy butt" She closes her eyes and removed his shirt quickly and leans in for a kiss.

After a series of long sucking kisses, his mouth went to travel and place kisses on her chest, her breasts and even her abdomen as she bends her body, being supported by Levi's stronger arm. She loved it and made her moan in every kiss on her body and Levi felt more eager to satisfy her tonight. he looked at the way she bends her body and it was just so tempting that ha can't help but plant soft kisses from top to her bottom, admiring how her body looked glorious as always, his hands tracing the kisses that he left making her want him more, shivering in delight, feeling her body wobbling. Somehow, she is now feeling that she is being electrified with a feeling of ease and the same lust and love she was longing for from him, and it's very intoxicating. When he was done and left hickies on each every trail of his kisses to her body, which he really wanted to do, claiming her his again.

Hanji was already panting hard and decided that it was already time for her to let him inside of her. It's been a long time since they last did it, and feared it'll hurt a bit harder this time. Adjusting herself on top of his lap, she held his privates and steadied it inside of her. It was a bit hard at first, adjusting and descending on it slowly as she could, closing her eyes and focusing on what she needs to do.

Slowly, Hanji rides Levi's penis, entering her slowly, pressure was a bit forceful, going inside of her deeper and deeper. She shut her eyes and bit her lower lip as she rides him as Levi stared at her, assisting her as much as he can with his arms. Breathing deeply and concentrating fully on him, Hanji can't still afford to not feel the pain. It's been almost half a year that they last did it, way before Levi lost some part of his limbs.

As Hanji rode Levi and as he assists her, he alternately caressed her hips to her side breast, Hanji's favorite thing for Levi to do, emphasizing her shape that even her didn't knew she had and kisses her from the mouth to her neck and to her chest as he gropes her breast and bites her everywhere, claiming her entire body to his.

When they felt like cumming, they both prepared themselves and Hanji didn't pulled herself out on top of him when Levi released his million seeds inside of her. He no longer asked since they both had a silent agreement, knowing when it is alright for them to squirt with each other's juices. Somehow, it worried him but he was also feeling excited and just wanting to give her everything he has.

Hanji caressed Levi's hair, gripping it tightly on her fingers, panting and sweating like thousands of liters, as well as Levi. She breathed heavily and fast on his ear and by his neck, making his hair involuntarily stand on his nape. Hanji then slowly looked at Levi by the shoulder and gave him a quick peck by the cheek and then followed by a loving kiss on the mouth. Slowly, Levi descended her again on to the bed as Hanji didn't removed her hands from her hair and neck.

They didn't broke the silence and their stare from each other, trying to locate themselves from each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry I can't please you much tonight" he sighed. "Looks like it'll be less exciting as before" and it made him worry. Hanji might look for other guys to have fun in bed with, to make her feel full and satisfied. It made his heart feel sink in horrible pure agony, imagining Hanji with some other guys, most especially that Chris guy.

"We, we can still try and practice to adjust to this new shit" and gazed over his mechanical left hand.

Hanji let out a small giggle and wrinkled her nose. "We'll see about that" and pulled him closer to a tighter hug. The thought still worries him, making him curl on her sweet embrace.

"Do you still want another round?" he asked huskily.

"If you can Levi" she said in between panting words from her mouth.

He smirked and moved in the middle of her legs and had it fixed on his waist. He straddled on her and entered her again. He sure did find it a bit different since she did became a bit tighter than the last time that they've done it, which amuses him greatly. She sure has some weird capabilities that is enough to make any man shiver in delight like that, and he wanted her only for himself.

When they were both ready, Levi pumped into her as she wanted nothing but to lock him in her embrace, closing her eyes and feeling him work inside of her. She even just managed to hang on his hair and gave a kiss of encouragement on his cheek.

As great as always, Levi managed to kiss her from her lips to her breasts as he pumps on her. After how many minutes of waiting and of tiring pumpings, he poured everything on her like what he did in the previous round, thinking that it was alright. Somehow, he wanted to thank his prosthetic leg since it barely gave him an awful tiring feeling like before and the pumpings that he made on her were a bit faster, perfect for her a bit tightened core.

In final act, he kissed her like some wild animal he is and rested on top of her. He longs for her and didn't want to let go and kissing her is also enough to let go of any bad feelings and thoughts to go away. He purely wanted to satisfy her and wanted her her to be reconnected with him in every aspect.

He was happy when she gave him small kisses on his cheeks and lips and embrace him tighter, leaving his right to caress her from hair and rub her back slowly with his fingertips. Since his face is just near hers, he looked at her but she didn't looked back, eyes closed but hands on is hair and head.

"Hanji." He called out to her.

"Hmmm?" she sweetly hummed.

He traced her side with his index finger and settled on her hand. He tried to sound convincing and pleasing, hoping it would reach within her heart. "I love you, Hanji." He muttered. She didn't said anything but just caressed his hair. Somehow, it still bothers him, thinking that she finds him no longer exciting in bed.

Levi kissed her in her cheek. "Please don't leave me." He sounded so different, like a helpless man in agony. It was not simply asking her, it's like he's begging her out from misery. He moved beside her so she can lay her head on his chest and he can hug her by her waist and have his cheek and nose rub into her head. He missed this, and he missed her more.

She immediately doze off and didn't said anything back to him, and it strangled his heart in fear. He tightened his embrace on her and didn't want her to go away.

Somehow, he wished that it was enough to make her stay and change her mind from leaving.

-x-

Levi woke up, literally jumping from his sleep. Before descending into a deep sleep, moments after his love making with Hanji, he thought that she might leave him if he sleeps and decided to keep himself awake until she wakes up. But the exhaustion of their love making drove him into a deep slumber and now she's no longer here by his side.

His throat ran dry and chest tightened with pain and fear.

Where could she possibly be?

He tried to remove the thought of Hanji leaving him in his sleep, but his heart is beating so fast that he feels scared already that he won't be seeing her again soon.

He stood up, and roamed around, just to see no sign of her. He checked her things, her clothes, her bags, books, and they were still there, still complete, he knows it.

"Hanji!" he yelled out, frustrated that she might leave him again on his own. He can't bear this any longer.

Levi dashed to his feet and picked his clothing on the floor. He swear that his right mechanical leg is giving him a hard time to lift it and slip his underwear onto it. He was able to make his pants on, panting in supreme anxiousness. He doesn't want her to leave, not again, never. To think that she hasn't accept his full apology yet and the way he had performed with their love making, it disappoints him to think that he could no longer make her happy like they usually do so before.

And now he is having the same feeling that Hanji felt when she found out about his words towards her, that she is not pleasing enough in bed and shit. It irritates him, and now he can feel her pain of the very same thought. He realized that he doesn't have any idea how much it hurt her.

He wore his shirt in fast speed and combs his hair with his fingers, wanting more but to dash outside and look for Hanji. He silently prayed that she isn't that far yet and that he could find her easily and stop her of whatever it is that she is planning to do on leaving him.

He first aimed to search in the HQ, looking for her in her office and her laboratory. He began to worried hard when he didn't saw Hanji inside, even Moblit wasn't there too. He may be successful in pasting his usual expressionless face but he sure hell feels panicky inside, and it's slaying him slowly. Shit. Realizing her laboratory, he quickly made his way in there as his prosthetic leg is starting to slow him down, halting slowly on its own. He drags it slowly, lucky that he was even almost there in her laboratory.

"Hanji!" he screamed in the top of his lungs and yet she is still wasn't there. Empty.

Fuck!

Great. Just great. His prosthetic leg is halting him with his search for Hanji and he doesn't have any idea of where she could have been. He knew that he shouldn't panic but he can't help it, since it is all about Hanji afterall. Like he always does, he followed his instincts, marching forwards as though he has map to guide his way to her, looking for his desired treasure of his life that he has no intention of losing to anyone. It was a map that is only visible to him, a map that had always finds her ever since the days he is pursuing her and her affections and it never failed him.

Now that he is in her laboratory, he is surprised to see the very least person that he expected to be there, making his body tingle with hate and fear of why he was there. "Looks like your wife left you again, Heichou" it made Levi's fist curl into a tight ball.

"Fuck. You." Levi replied, glaring at him icily, slowly turning to meet him in the eyes.

It was Chris. He is smirking down to him, laughing underneath his breath as he came in behind him and entered her lab, seemed like he followed his trail to her laboratory as he was looking for her.

"Maybe she realized you're the one now who's no longer entertaining in bed eh?" Chris chuckled and closed the door behind him.

Levi realized his new sudden nightmares, of Hanji making love with other man, most especially this guy. To make it worse, the words coming out from his mouth makes Levi think that his horrible thoughts are maybe coming into a near truth. Damn, Levi wanted to throw him on the floor and throw punches on him and pull his fucking penis out. If he ever touches Hanji, he'll sure to slice him into bits, slowly that he will regret that he even lived.

"Where is she?"

"Oh! We just had a wonderful time Heichou! You didn't told me that she likes being sucked and fingered hard first!" Chris exclaimed as grabs a chair to sit. Levi's eyes suddenly didn't blink. What the fuck was he talking about?

"She was… just amazing. Damn. Just thinking how we've done it the other day on her office, it makes me feel hard even right now. She even kissed like strawberries!" He licked his lips and looked at how Levi reacts so stoic and ironically alarmed at the same time. "I really wonder why you even looked for someone else to fuck with when Danchou's body was a real heaven and oh! Have I mentioned to you how she cummed? She cummed perfectly well with me an-" Levi felt an enormous rage coming from his very veins of his body and he could feel his body heating up with anger and before Chris could even get to finish what he was saying, the prosthetic left hand of Levi threw out a powerful jab on Chris' chest, sending him flying across the hard wall. Levi made his way towards him and grabbed him by the collar, raising him, making him breathe hard.

Hanji would never, ever do that.

Not with this fucking guy nor any other man, but only him. He's her husband and he knows fucking perfectly well that she just doesn't have the spirit or the thought of doing that against him.

But Levi cannot get the tiny queasy feeling that is bothering him, after dealing with all of the fucked up mess, what if Hanji did considered doing something the same, of getting back against his infidelity? No matter how much he tried to persuade himself, he just can't seem to calm his self-down.

His chest was breathing heavy and fast, his nostrils flared and his eyes were full of anger. Somehow, he doesn't have any idea how he could take it if what he is saying true.

Levi understood that Hanji has no other choice but to keep him since Levi hasn't recovered fully yet and is still below than his usual strong and quick moves. But he just wanted to kill this asshole, and he wanted it right now. He no longer cared how in the world his prosthetic leg became fully functional again and he approached the asshole on the wall.

He knew perfectly well that Hanji wouldn't do such a thing, and would never do such a thing towards him. But fuck, it still hurt. What if it's true? Asking it is already giving him a wide array of disappointments and deadly feelings. He loves her, and he knew perfectly how much she loves him. Even if they fought, argue or she wanted to go away, he knew she still does love him.

He can't stop the hate that he is feeling and without any hesitant feeling, he punched Chris right in the middle of the face. After giving him two more hits, his nose bleed. Levi then pulled him lower and kicked him right on the head, landing his head on the ground. Chris lost consciousness as he lay breathless on the ground. Just when Levi thought he already killed him, he suddenly spoke.

"You sure don't remember, don't you, Ackerman?" he laughed a few blood from his mouth.

Levi's face suddenly turned into a slight questioning one. "What the fuck are you talking about?" and he bangs Chris onto the wall.

"You will remember once I get to touch your most precious treasure, Ackerman. Be prepared to lose everything you have." He smiled at Levi maniacally; despite the hitting that he received it's as if nothing had affected him.

Levi tried to recall anything that has something to do with his life, but it doesn't ring any bell in his head. What the fuck was he talking about? He punch Chris right on the stomach, elbowed him on the jaw and kicking him on the rib. When he was down on the ground, barely moving, wondering if he is still alive, Levi kicked him as many times as he can right on the groin and Chris, eyes blank, had his hands moved involuntarily on his groin and hold it. Blood was coming out from the cuts in his face, his mouth and his face was sore and bruised, as well as his other body parts. Despite the pain that he had received, Levi felt that it still wasn't enough. Whether what he said was true or not, he just doesn't have the right to talk like that about his wife.

He quickly turned his heel and faced the door when he heard a few voices approaching the lab. The door sprang opened and exposed the laughing Hanji and her squad, Moblit at her side showing papers in front of her face. Her blood drained when she saw some things were on the floor that was sent flying around when Levi kicked Chris on the chest. It was not enough for him and had it repeated all over again and again and had Chris splatter blood from his mouth.

"What the hell has happened here?" When she turned to see and learn who the culprit is, she was surprised to see Levi and Chris by his back, breathing heavily, all eyes being sent on their direction.

"Levi..." Hanji's voice softened, pronouncing his name in disbelief. She was surprised to see Levi inside her lab, fighting over some guy, as she believes it, and doesn't even looked like he fixed himself at all.

And then it clicked to him. When he saw Hanji looking at him quizzically, he realized that she was his precious treasure, the only everything that he has. Without a word he made his way to her, not caring about the people who is looking at them. He hugged her so tightly that she can't breathe and even gasped and absently caressed Levi's hair, his right perfect hand making its way towards her hair. He leans into her, had his cheek crash into her cheek, inhaling her scent and had his nose traveled along her hair as he bends her down very little, backwards from her knees.

"I thought you were gone" embracing her fully with such want and greed, ignoring the worry feeling that he has within him and the words that he just heard just few moments ago even it still greatly bothers him and he could feel his heart thumping hard, feeling worried and scared too.

Hanji can't seem to focus on Levi since she could perfectly see Chris by the floor, bleeding and beaten like shit and wonders if he is still even breathing at all. Levi won't let go of her even if she tries to push him a bit away as carefully as she could since she knew Levi is having his I'm-worried-about-you-syndrome today and would be a bit hard to for her to tame him down.

"Levi what did you do?" she said as she ignored his worried words towards her.

"Levi, stop." Levi only tightened his embrace on her and it's irritating her already. She's confused and needed to act quickly if she needed to save Chris from death, even if she totally hated the guy.

She groaned in anger and looked at her squad and told Moblit to rake Chris in the medical ward since his injuries were serious and seemed like it's killing him. It's a good thing they're still there and that they're already used in to seeing their leader and captain in such dramatic scene, and so they took Chris out from the room and had him sent to the medical ward and retreated silently as they can as instructed by Moblit and shut the doors for the two lovebirds.

Hanji frowned and still tried to gently push Levi away and get out from his killing embrace. He had lost control already and even to her, he had lost control of his strength, forgetting that his prosthetic arm was even stronger than his previous and could kill anyone if he had lost control of his strength.

Hanji squeaked and didn't even tried to hug him even very slightly. She was already feeling numb on his embrace, can no longer breathe and needed to attend to Chris and look if he is still alive and to top it all, she needed to talk to Dot Pixis in a few minutes and she is still here dealing with her suddenly emotional husband.

"Levi, this has got to stop!" She can't help but to shout and push him with all her might, it's already too much. Despite her forceful push, she only managed to push him as far as fifteen centimeters away from her.

Levi stared at her in bewilderment. For years of hugging her, she never pushed him away nor shouts at him. His eyes grew in confusion and mouth jolted open. "But Hanj…."

She looked at him with dismay in her face and he searched it, searched for any sign that she is happy about his actions but what he could see only brought more wreckage in his heart. He opened his arms for her but she only backed a few steps.

"I don't have time for this Levi" her voice was monotone and her expression turned serious.

"Hanj, I just thought that-"

"Save it." Her hands balled hard and she turned her heels and dashed towards the door. She still have a lot of things to do before the day ends and she could not just tolerate him doing that whenever he wanted to, even if she finds it sweet but he needs control. Duty first before anything else, the only thing she always bear in mind.

When she exists, Levi fell onto his knees and his eyes were already starting to get wet. He looked at her as she exits and didn't even looked back at him when she got out. She didn't even said anything to him when he hugged her and only heard how she worries over Chris, not him. It's not like her at all. Was Chris saying the truth? Has she chose Chris than him? Is that reason why she suddenly thought of leaving him for a week, to test them both in her heart? He couldn't dare to think more. As he kneeled down on his knees, his hand caught his chest and gripped hard, his heart is breaking and is afraid of the truth.

"but I love you" he muttered to himself, wanting to tell it to her earlier before she left.

-x-

Hanji was able to catch up with her squad and helped them rushed Chris in the infirmary. He was bleeding everywhere and she fears he might just die due to the massive hitting that Levi just had him felt. He has cuts in his face and is bleeding as well and looked like his face is about to get swollen up. He can't even stand on his own and Moblit and the others have to carry him.

Once the medics saw how Chirs looked like, they immediately tend him to his needs and called out a doctor. They took Chris and had to treat him fast and had him placed in a room of his own once they were done. Hanji was left with Moblit and told the others to continue on what they were doing before and had the courtesy not to ask of what had happened to her and Levi, maybe she could tell them later.

"Nifa, tell Dot Pixis of what had happened and I'll be with him after I talk over Chris' doctor." She added once they were about to head out. Nifa nodded and went immediately to look for Dot Pixis.

Moblit and Hanji waited patiently inside the room of the now treated Chris as they wait for the doctor. Even if Hanji thinks that she didn't want to treat this hell of a guy up but things might get worse if she let him die. It took them about almost an hour to treat Chris fully back and his doctor refused to talk to Hanji not until he is finished with Chris.

When the doctor came in, much to Hanji's relief since she can now go and talk to Dot Pixis over some serious shit.

"He had a total of fifteen stitches in the face. He was beaten up so bad that his cuts were no longer ordinary and could no longer heal perfectly on their own. I though of stitching them up if we are to stop the bleeding. And expect that he will swollen hard for about a month." They all looked down to Chris and he is heavily breathing, hard and difficult.

"May I ask why Levi Heichou had beaten him up?" the doctor asked Hanji and eyed her carefully.

She shrugged. "I don't really know. I Haven't talk to him yet about this guy here." She sighed.

The doctor exhaled deeply and replied. "Maybe because of jealousy, I presume?"

Hanji's eyes grew and immediately looked up to him. "I... I don't know. He perfectly knows that there's nothing to be jealous about."

The doctor smiled kindly at her and gave her a light squeeze in her shoulder. "You don't know a man's hurting and jealous heart, Danchou."

She wished to replied something but couldn't find her voice. Her mouth was only draped open for a reply but she didn't know what to say to him exactly.

The doctor smiled reassuringly at her and she closed her mouth, feeling rather ashamed of herself. "I am too, married for over twenty years Danchou, and I know perfectly how a married man's heart beat for his wife." Hanji looked down at the floor then to Chris. She flashed over what had happened previously on her mind and thought it well over.

The doctor got out grinning at her. As she came into her senses, she forgot that she still needed to talk to Dot Pixis and apologize first, as Moblit followed her out of the door.

Duty first before anything else, she thought.

-x-

Levi silently returned to their home, readying himself of the fact that Hanji might not return tonight. He laid on his bed and didn't even took dinner, losing appetite of what had happened. He flashed the things that had happened throughout the day, and whether he didn't like it, he wanted to find out where exactly did he got offhand and might hurt Hanji or did something wrong exactly.

After what had happened to Chris, he managed to get back to the younger soldiers had them do some round circuits, barely speaking at all nor even focusing exactly.

He sat on their bed and still waited patiently for Hanji to return. By pass nine, she suddenly burst out of the door, careful with her movements. She saw Levi looking at her and locked eyes with him. He looked worried and sad, eyes soft and seemed in pain. She felt a sudden feeling of tense within her veins but managed to pull herself together and had the door locked behind her. She didn't said anything as she entered their little home and walked slowly removed her boots and threw by the door side, and Levi thought that it's a bad sign. She didn't had such a pretty day.

She steadied herself and went to the bathroom to wash her face, loosen her hair and comb it. She silently hoped that Levi would sleep and won't even wait for her to get out of the bathroom but as she opened the door, he was still by their bed, waiting for her, looking at her attentively. He hadn't even changed into his night clothes yet, what was he doing? she wondered.

He was just staring at her, and she tried to stare away as much as she could. Then she slowly descended beside him and sat beside him. He looked at her, searching for a single thing from her. He wanted to embrace her again, but his heart suddenly beat painfully as he remembered Chris' words about him and Hanji.

She inhaled deeply and exhaled loudly. "I'm disappointed at you, Levi."

He didn't answered but can't help but to wonder about what she was saying.

"I don't know the reason why you did that to Chris, but it's enough to make me disappointed at you." She said with all her might, she knew she might hurt him a bit but she still needed to talk it over to him and tell him of what she feels.

He looked at her uneasily, his heart slowly breaking apart. He can't seem to find the courage to talk to her about Chris. His greatest fear might be coming true now. He gripped on the bed sheets tightly and Hanji felt it and looked at him. This is it, she's going to tell him that she wanted it quits and what Chris was saying was true. She wouldn't get disappointed if that's not the reason at all. She might even be happy to see him killing Chris but oddly, this time she didn't so it most probably true, and he doesn't know how he's going to deal with it.

"Why did you that to him? After we took him to the infirmary, I have to talk wait just to talk to his doctor to find out that he had fifteen stitches and that he won't be much in a good condition for over a month. I was late for Dot Pixis and when I explained what had happened, he told me that with your actions, the supreme commander would want to suspend you for two months!"

Levi stared at her and seeing her furious is not a good sight at all. "I talked him out about you, and managed to save you from being suspended but it's still irritating. And nobody was pleased of what you've done Levi." She frowned, Levi still not doing or saying anything, he was completely rooted between the pain that he is feeling within him along side the somewhat happiness for saving his ass from being suspended, that because she needs him even in the field.

She calmed down a bit and relaxed herself. "You don't know... how big it is for me to deal if you're not there... and you get to be suspended, you... you'll just won't be there all the time. You'll get me worried all the time as I will do my best to just rush here and see if you're okay." She replied in a whisper, in truth, she felt shy about what she said but that's how she felt. She felt alone and busy and like shit when he is not there to help her out for work, just like when she left him. Despite that it was her decision to leave him and won't have him for work for a moment, it's still different.

Levi was surprised of her words, did not expect for those words to hear. Without looking, Hanji's right hand crawled on Levi's mechanical hand right beside her and held it tightly. Unfortunately, he can't feel it but he did see it. His heart ached after hearing Chris' words and his whole body longed for her touch of serenity and bring him peace and right now, she's giving it to the wrong part of his body. At least she is still trying.

His eyes fixed on the wall and managed to let out a deep long sigh from his nose. "He told me that you had sex... with him" his voice was deep and low and he didn't look at her, fearing of the possible 'yes I did' answer or confirmation of his forever doom but she looked surprise of what he has said and a bit frown on her face was written.

She held back a laugh. "And you believe him in that instant?" She now figured out why he managed to have him beat Chris into a pulp and ended up having him half alive and looking like a complete zombie.

Levi swallowed hard and pulled her hand by his mechanical hand and attached her arm to his mechanical arm. He really did not know how to tell her exactly.

"He told me you kissed like strawberries and... told me how great you are in bed." He tried to explain it to her but cannot find the proper words but somehow, he was already feeling contented with how he told it to her. Though he felt a bit shadowy of how he mentioned it to her and think of the horrible thought, he searched her for an answer.

Her face flushed pink and eyes glued on their linked arms. She didn't know what to say. Deep inside, she was feeling horrible for getting mad at Levi a bit quickly without knowing his true reasons but now, she understood that he was just mad at Chris for talking dirty about her.

He looked at her and she still didn't moved, suddenly he realized that she was feeling embarrassed.

He smirked, seeing how his wife looked pretty cute being shy and shit. "Come here" and he pulls her towards him by her arm. She sighed but smiled as he pulled her close to him and drape his arm over her as she leans her head down to his shoulder. Instead of placing her arms around his waist, she took the liberty to place her right leg on top of his normal left leg and he smiled to himself.

"I hope you didn't believed any of his words Levi. You know perfectly that you're the only man I wanted to share my body with, nobody else." She talked with a hidden feeling of being doubted within despite her sincerity and loyalty to him, like what she did was still not enough not to be doubted upon with. She knew no man that she would wanted to cherish even more than that of Levi. He is the only missing piece in her and she hope he knows that, as he is the only one that fits perfectly well to every part of her.

"Why is it that I am having a feeling that you believed him?" she can't help but feel rather a bit frustrated if he does because if he did, then there trust to one another was indeed tainted, that they no longer what to believe in anymore. "You know better than believing in a pure lie Levi" she glanced at him and he did likewise, he felt ashamed now of his question since he didn't really want her to feel being doubted or not being fully trusted.

"I did at first but then I realized, I shouldn't, because I know that you wouldn't do such shit towards me" he looked away, thinking whether he should continue or should stop with that. Levi imagined her going crazy like that from his very own efforts, but imagining her going cray over someone else's doing, his heart thump in pain. He didn't want to tell her about his thoughts of maybe she started to pursue other man now that he can no longer satisfy her perfectly on the bed, having his words bounced back at him when said those against her years ago during his betrayal.

He felt her squirmed and adjusted herself under his mechanical arm and her embracing him, squeezing him lightly. "even if I'd been unfaithful to you once" he whimpered, saying it in a very low volume that even Hanji barely heard. He knew he shouldn't say it because she too, didn't want to be reminded of his sudden unexpected infidelity but he wanted to emphasize his deep regret of doing such a thing to her, for them both. At the same time, he wanted to point out her will and her great acceptance of him despite of what had happened and the possibility of it happening again. "I'm sorry" he muttered, kissing her head.

Hanji didn't want to ask any longer about it and she sighed deeply. She stood up, breaking the link that they were having between them as Levi watched with betrayed sad eyes. He was deeply surprised when Hanji went on top his lap and placed her arms around the back of his neck and pressed her body closer to him.

She locked eyes with him, and she could swear that all she can see within his gaze was agony and guilt. She smiled a little and it made him feel warm and calm, placing his hands at her back and tightened their embrace. She buried her face between his shoulder and neck and held him close.

"even if the sun would refuse to shine and the titans would not stop from tormenting us, nor the wind would blow against our direction, I swear, I promise, I will only want you" she whispers it to his ear and Levi couldn't do anything but to tighten his hold on her body, on her shoulder and her waist, pulling her closer than ever when she said it to him. "I don't care if my heart shatters even more because for sure, that no matter what, no matter how hard I would try, there would only be you, for me." She pulled away a bit to look at him and smiled at him.

He looked at her straight in the eye and he can't stop the shiver that ran down his spine. Her words were really moving, honest and sincere and he felt horrible in thinking that she had spent some time with someone else's bed, being scared of his own ghost and sin. He pulled her head so he can consume her lips with his and kissed her passionately. Her words drove him crazy, feeling a rush of different emotions running through him. She spoke with such sincerity that he felt mad at himself for doubting her loyalty for him. In the other hand, he felt his chest tightening, fear coming to succumb within him, fear that he could no doesn't have any idea on what to do that if one day she was suddenly gone, that she had already made her way towards the very deep and bottom of his heart, that he won't be able to root her out that easily even if he is forced to do.

She had become part of him, shared his heart, his burden, every glorious moments in his life even to his downfall, she was there and never left him. She had become his very best friend, a teacher who had guided him in life, a sister who had always been so welcoming, a mother who had been always caring to him, most of all, she is his wife, the only person who had endured him to his worst and loved him to the fullest.

He kissed her with such want that she wanted to feel his lips work its miracle on her neck and she leaned her head back a little, and he did made his way there since she gave way. His hands moved towards her side as her hands traveled along his broad shoulders and maintained her balance on top of him.

When he stopped, Hanji knew nothing but to hug him earnestly as she closed her eyes in contentment, feeling his body's warmth on her. He settled his face by neck as she hears his breath by her ears and feel it along her cheek. She in return, buries her face by the side of his head, lightly giving him kisses there.

"I love you Hanj" he said softly, and Hanji nodded by their embrace. "I didn't believe him, it did bothered me but I don't want to believe him because he forgot to mention that every part of your body smelled like my saliva." He smirked when Hanji pulled away from her embrace on him and looked at him, eyes, dancing with delight, giggling at her best. She found his words corny if he is trying to make a joke but it was still enough to make her laugh a little.

He bit her neck lightly without breaking their stare, and it sure is turning her on but she's too tired and would just want to sleep it out instead.

Hanji clasped her hand into his neck in response, returning the hug but in a more gentle way than his.

"I'm sorry I worried you" she said softly.

"I thought you left me for good" he said in his tightened jaw, gripping her clothes on his balled hands.

"I tried not to and I didn't right?" she whispers to his ear.

"You were not there when I woke up"

"I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you or even left you a note." She stared at him with her lovely brown eyes, and it made his worry go away and feel calm again.

"I thought I'd never see you again" and hugs her again, having her face land on his shoulder as she balanced herself awkwardly bent onto the hold of his mechanical strong arm.

She squirmed away from Levi's embrace but he still had his arms on her waist and her hand on his neck, as though protecting each other from a serial killer.

"Are you okay?" Her eyes searched on his face, seeing if he has any bruises or cuts because it seemed like they didn't had such a great time together in her lab. Levi nodded.

Hanji stood away from him and took of her harness away and her pants. When she was about to remove her shirt to take off her bra, Levi went towards her and caught her wrist to stop moving. She just watched him remove her shirt effortless and removed her bra. When he looked at her, she smiled but she returned her shirt on but open, indicating she didn't want anything tonight but to sleep.

She turned to remove his harness and his pants off him, as she helped him slid his boxers on. She removed his cravat and placed it on top of their drawers. He smirked, making her feel relieved that he is fine not having steamy tonight together.

He scooped her suddenly on his arms and she let out a sudden gasped but managed to hold on to his neck for support. He carried her lovingly as he placed her in the bed and she pulled him into a tight hug, to end every horrible thing tonight and sleep it out together.

In the middle of their journey to sleep he suddenly spoke. "You do kissed like strawberries."

"What?"

Hanji's cheeks turned pink and showed her back to Levi, crossing her arms, feeling embarrassed.

"Yes, you do kiss like strawberries Shitty Glasses" and hugged her from the back, kissing her cheek lightly and kissed her teasingly on her shoulder. "And you look… fucking hot when you go crazy when I'm inside of you." He gave one last kiss on her shoulder for truth, at the same time, changing the eerie mood just moments ago into a teasing one.

"You should be aware and be kept reminded that you are the only one that I kiss and could make love with, Levi. No one else, only you" that made him lock his arms in her waist tightly, caressing his nose by her shoulder blades. "And you're so stupid for believing him. I was in the field trying to validate my experiments that time with my squad, and you say I'm having sex with him?" she snorted. He could at least ask her about that day first and her squad but he needed to know and it just killed him in the inside.

"I'm sorry." Hanji turns around to face him and placed her arms around the back of his neck.

"You're such a dork. I thought you already know that you are the only one I kissed and my only mate in my entire lifetime like crazy and haven't we even talked and agreed that you are the only one who I could cum with?" she tried to smile but it still irritated her, and he felt that little irritation from her. He looked into her eyes and he silently agreed, remembering during the years he is pursuing her, that she tells him that he is the only who could make her cum and that he knows it still applies to now, and forever. It made him pull her closer to him and hug her with earnest love.

He instead laughed to change the mood a bit as he remembered those years. "Your dork" and he leans his forehead on hers.

"My dork" she agrees and kisses him soundly on the mouth, before dozing off into a deep slumber.

-x-

I kinda don't know the difference between infirmary and medical ward so I just used them alternately here, I believe they have the same use anyway so I guess it doesn't matter that much. And yes, I believe there are still doctors in their present day.

And yeah, damn that was long. It took twenty-three pages in my word document file O.O

Hope you had fun reading this chapter and see yah in the next one.
