Levi slumped into the chair closing his eye and wincing at the pain. Hange placed her hand on his uninjured side of his face slowly creasing his cheek. Levi leans into the touch opening his eye to look at Hange, "You've pushed yourself too hard, let's get you back to your room". She puts an arm under his pulling him up. They walk thought the empty hallways thankfully not bumping into anyone.
They reached his room and Hange gently sat him down on the bed. He was still exhausted, barely getting any sleep despite his eyes being closed for most of the journey. She sat on the chair next to the bed examining his bandages, "It's about time I change this", she said while grabbing the first aid kit under the bed. Levi grumbled but didn't fight back when Hange reach back to unbind his bandages.
The layers were slowly peeled back revealing his scared face and damaged eye. Hange slowly ran a finger over the scar before stopping at his eye.
"Can you open it? Does it hurt?"
"It hurts when I try"
"Bare with me, Levi"
She lifts his eyelid slightly with her finger trying to be as gentle as possible. He didn't pull away so she assumed it didn't hurt. His eye was clouded over and red.
"Can you see anything?"
"It's blurry"
Hange hums before releasing his eyelid. She takes a guaze and roll of bandages from the kit staring at his injured eye. "Oi four eyes, how long do you plan to keep staring", the usual venom in his voice wasn't there. She was brought out of her train of thought, "Ahh, sorry", she goes back to bandaging his face paying no attention to his gaze.
After that's done she moves to the bandages on his fingers. The old blood soaked bandages were removed. His hand was covered in calluses similar to hers. She lightly creases his injured hand before bandaging it again.
"Hange...", he whispers before running his hand through her hair. Her hair was greasy as usual but he didn't care. His hand moves to the ribbon holding her ponytail pulling it on gently letting her hair flow free. He combs her hair slowly fingers going through her tangled hair getting rid of any knots. One of Hange's arm snakes behind his neck while her other holds his waist, "Levi..."
Their lips meet in a slow rhythmic kiss. All the tension for the past few days released in a single action. Hange pushes Levi on bed pinning him down as one of his hand moves to cup her cheek. Their tongues fight for dominance. They moaned into heat of the other nipping at each others lips. They pull away from each other to catch their breath but Hange has other plans. She kisses his injured eye slowly kissing down the path of his scar to ease his pain. She continues to kiss down his neck. Levi moans out tilting his head so she can get a better angle, her hand reaching for his uninjured hand to hold it.
She pulls away to see the mess she has created, a flustered Levi, panting and out of breath. She chuckles and he grumbles. She moves in for another kiss, a more gentle one this time not as fierce as the last but just as passionate. They pull away once more and Hange nuzzles into the crook of his neck being gentle not to accidently hurt him. Levi wraps his arm around her bringing her into a comforting hug.
"Levi... are you still in pain?"
"When you are with me it's bearable"
"I see. Good to know"
They both fall into a dreamless sleep in each other arms, alive, breathing, living and together.
