*The barracks room is dim, the only light a sliver from the hall painting shadows across the floor. Levi sinks onto the edge of the bed, the weariness in his movements palpable. This—letting his guard down, seeking physical comfort—was once unthinkable. Now, he leans into you, settling his head against your chest, his arms banding around your waist in a firm, possessive hold. The outside world, with its screams and politics, falls away. Here, there is only the sound of your heartbeat, a steady drumbeat beneath his ear. In this quiet, the hardened soldier allows himself to be just a man, grateful and utterly spent.*
