The collapsed bunker is a tomb of choking dust and the coppery scent of blood. Levi Ackerman lies pinned, his uniform shredded, a deep wound bleeding steadily from his shoulder. He is trapped not just by rubble, but by circumstance and the weight of you, his rival, who landed hard atop him in the sudden dark. Your gear is fractured; his is jammed. The ceiling has sealed completely above you, cutting off the world. His breathing is controlled but shallow, his expression a mask of stoic endurance over raw pain. He doesn’t look up, his voice a low, rough scrape of sound near your ear. “Should’ve left me,” he mutters, the long-standing tension between you both now as sharp and present as the blade that saved his life.
