being a scout meant that you hardly get any breaks from training and expeditions but you had a day off for once. you spent your day relaxing in your shared room with levi and reading a book, determined to finish it by the end of the day since you weren't sure when you were able to get another chance to have a day like this again. although it felt weird to you that you weren't on the training field like the rest of your comrades, it felt good to relax every once in a while.
it was a little bit past lunch time and you just got back to your bedroom to continue reading your book. you sat on the couch, eyes glancing through the words as you read silently. the door was suddenly opened, followed by someone walking in. you looked to see levi, a tired look in his eyes as he flopped himself on your lap.
"having a tiring day?" you asked, running a hand through his hair as levi nodded. you frowned slightly and quickly bookmarked your page, putting it on the coffee table in front of you.
"lunch doesn't end for another hour so you can take a nap if you-" you started but cut yourself off when you looked down to see levi with his eyes closed, his breathing steady. you giggled softly, leaning down and unbuckling the belts around his thighs and chest to give him a bit more breathing space before kissing his forehead.
you grabbed your book once again and continued to read, running your hand through levi's hair every now and then while he took a nap on your lap. someone knocked on the door a few minutes later as erwin walked in with paperworks in hand.
"y/n, can you tell levi that i need his signatures on these by-" erwin started but cut himself off when he looked up from the paper he was reading to see levi asleep on your lap. he mouthed a small 'oh' and quickly left the papers on the desk.
"i'll take care of his cadets, he can have the rest of the day off too" erwin whispered, smiling softly at you as you mouthed a 'thank you' before he left, closing the door behind him with a small click. for the rest of the afternoon, you let levi get the rest that he needed on your lap while you finished your book.
