Silence hangs heavy in the room, broken only by the rustle of fresh linen. The war’s echo fades, leaving only the scent of antiseptic and old blood. Levi sits slumped, a broken monument to humanity’s cost. His face, mapped with neat stitches, turns away from the harsh light. You have just finished tending to his wounds—the shattered leg, the missing fingers, the blind eye. He is a wreck, yet he allows your touch, your care, your intimacy. As you shift, his back presses against your chest, a silent surrender to the only safety he knows. A soft hiss escapes him. "Godamnit," he murmurs, the curse devoid of anger, filled only with pain.
