Socks - Levi x Petra Clothing Prompt

Disclaimer: I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin.

Levi pulls her closer because he is the only source of warmth.

The mountain of blankets atop them shifts slightly as he adjusts her into a more promising position, where he can easily trace his fingers from the line of her jaw and down, down…

Her body is incredibly soft against his. He wants to fall into her and caress every inch of skin and breathe in the honeysuckle scent that lingers from her bath. He knows that he shouldn't work himself up like this, but his hands seem to be acting on their own accord, and she doesn't appear to mind it at all.

That is, until Levi slips one dexterous finger into her sock, and suddenly Petra lets out an ear-piercing shriek, flailing erratically in his embrace and now all the nice fuzzy feelings are gone.

It is dark, though the heavy silence that filters into the air between them is enough indication for her to assume that he is glaring.

"What?" Levi murmurs into her bare thigh, practicing the patience that he reserves only for Petra. "Did I frighten you?"

"Not exactly, uh…" She pats his head in assurance, even a bit apologetically because she knows how much it takes for him to totally give in to emotions like this. "My socks… I have to keep them on, please." Petra can perfectly imagine the way he must be arching an eyebrow in puzzlement. "For warmth," she says, feeling a blush work its way into her face. "Hanji explained to me once that a lot of heat can be lost through feet and I guess that's true because I can be wearing nothing but socks and still feel warm when I'm here with you…"

Damn, and here he is thinking it was something romantic like 'heated passion' and all that ridiculous nonsense.

He tugs her socks off anyway. Petra's feet are slender, delicate, and her toes wriggle as soon as they are exposed to the chilly atmosphere. Levi thinks that this part of her is so feminine; he cups a foot firmly in one hand and does something unexpected. He leaves a trail of light kisses, one on each toe, to her heel, across the soft pads of skin and Petra does not protest, does not even have the breath to. She can feel the heat now, stronger than before, erupting from her core and spreading pleasantly throughout her body.
