#levi schmitt x nico kim

[tevanbegins]

Man, I've fallen deep down the Buck x Tommy rabbit hole. This feels just like when I got into Schmico, all over again! I'm going to sail this new ship like a starving madwoman, devouring every tiny Tevan crumb I get along the way! 😍😍😍

The thing that always surprises me is how people believe the onus is always on Nico to reconcile with Levi. Even though Levi ended the relationship, he is the victim and Nico is the culprit? Well, Nico didn't give him up for the job, Levi gave him up because he was depressed after losing his patient. It's not like Nico just packed and left to join the Mariners immediately after Levi told him to go away, he was still around for a few months but neither wanted to reconcile. So, if there was nothing between them during that period, Nico leaving for a new job shouldn't be a scandal that it is made out to be. Also, I don't think this S20 storyline was cruel to Levi, because are we seriously pretending here that Levi was waiting around for Nico or missing him all this while? He wasn't, just like Jo said! Levi and Nico have both tried to move on with their respective lives, the only difference is that Nico met someone significant while Levi's relationship with that nurse didn't last — but I am sure the end of that fling or Levi being single after that until now had nothing to do with Nico. And what was Nico supposed to do all this time? Suffer and punish himself forever for not being the perfect boyfriend for Levi? Levi turned down Nico's offer to move in together in S17, but Nico was still supposed to plan future kids with him back then? Maybe if Levi had acknowledged in S19 about missing or thinking about Nico while he was gone, I'd feel sorry for him after 20x03. Nico being with Jason disappoints the Schmico stan in me too, but if Jason helped him be happy again I don't care how impractically rushed their relationship progress timeline looks like. People grow and change and their priorities can change too. I'm happy for Nico! My heart still wants Schmico endgame so bad and constantly daydream about the many ways they can find their way back together, but if that's not going to happen, I can be at peace with this canon plot because I adore Nico. He doesn't deserve the hate.

i literally let out a cursed scream watching the latest nico kim and levi schmitt scene like 😭 why are they so cruel to levi!! what do you mean nico has been seeing a guy for 9 months and he didn’t even want children but he went along with his partner getting a surrogate because he couldn’t imagine giving him up meanwhile he gave levi up for a fucking job 😭😭

Masterlist for this fic can be found here.

Chapter Summary: Levi finds himself back in Nico's bed, but as always it ends in tears.

CW: heavy make outs, unprocted sex (wrap it up guys), sad sex, tears (as the chapter name would suggest), angst.

—————————————————————

Chapter 7 - Counting Tears

Old, but I'm not that old,

Young, but I'm not that bold.

And I don't think the world is sold,

On just doing what we're told.

Nico had Levi caged against the door with his hips while he kissed him deeply. He held Levi’s face in his hands while Levi’s arms dangled at his side.

This was such a bad idea. Probably the worst idea Levi had ever had.

But having Nico kiss him in this way after so long made Levi’s knees weak and he knew there was no going back.

Afterwards he was going to be hurting more than before but he needed this, needed Nico.

He’d made up his mind the second he’d seen Nico in that towel. Maybe it was even the reason he’d come to Nico’s room in the first place.

Levi moved his hands to Nico’s hips and quickly discarded the towel leaving Nico naked, wet and hard.

He rolled his hips into Levi’s feeling he was hard also, but he was wearing way too many clothes for Nico’s liking.

He kept kissing him while he found the hem of Levi’s t-shirt. He broke the kiss so he could pull it over his head.

In a rare surge of confidence, Levi took hold of Nico’s shoulders and started, quite roughly, pushing him back towards the bed.

Nico’s calves hit the bed and he toppled onto the mattress. He stared up at Levi through his wet hair that had fallen on his face as Levi quickly worked himself out of his pants and out of his boxers.

Once Levi was naked too he climbed on top of Nico, kissing him hard and a little roughly but Nico didn’t care.

Their hard dicks rubbed against one another making them both moan into the other’s mouth.

It had been too long. They didn’t know it, but neither of them had sex with anyone since their break up and they were both starved for touch.

While Levi kissed him, Nico blindly reached for the bedside table and somehow managed to locate the bottle of lube.

Levi pulled away from his lips when he heard the distinctive sound of the cap popping.

“You brought lube.” He grumbled. “Figured you’d get lucky on this trip?”

Nico couldn’t help but laugh as he gave Levi’s ass cheek a pinch.

“Never dreamed I’d get this lucky.” He pulled Levi down by his neck into another firm kiss while he coated some lube on his fingers.

His hand slipped between their bodies and between Levi’s legs and Levi gasped at the sensation of two fingers pressing against him.

He urged Nico with his eyes, giving him a look he knew Nico understood.

He was slow and gentle in opening Levi up, using his other hand to stroke the younger man’s dick.

Levi was writhing about on top of him and Nico loved him like this, being able to look up at him illuminated by the moonlight coming in through the curtains as Nico reduced him to a mumbling mess.

Nico was grinding his hips upwards, desperate for more. Levi smirked, clearly sensing his desperation.

“Please,” Levi nodded, biting down on his lip. “It’s been too long.”

Nico felt tears pricking his eyes but he ignored it.

He gently removed his fingers and pulled Levi down for another hot kiss. He coated his cock with an ample amount of lube, before lifting Levi a little by his hips.

Levi took over from there and sat back with his hands on Nico’s chest to steady himself while he lined them up.

He looked into Nico’s eyes as he slowly lowered himself.

The second Nico came into contact with him they both moaned, and as Nico slowly buried himself inside the other man, tears sprang to both of their eyes.

It was slow and patient, neither one of them wanting it to be over too soon. Levi moved up and down, keeping his hands on Nico’s chest and keeping his eyes firmly on Nico’s.

Levi’s tears overflowed first but Nico’s weren’t far behind. Levi buried his face into the crook of Nico’s neck and Nico wrapped his arms around him.

“Do you want to stop?” Nico whispered but he could feel Levi shaking his head.

“No.” Levi sniffed. “No, please don’t stop.”

Moans and sobs punctuated the air as Nico took over the reigns, slowly thrusting.

“I love you.” Levi muttered into Nico’s neck. “I love you so much.”

Nico held him tighter, nuzzling his face into the side of Levi’s and crying.

“I love you too, Levi. So, so much.”

It wasn’t long at all before Levi came between their bodies but Nico followed soon after. It was a release they both so desperately needed but it had brought with it so much pain.

Afterwards neither of them moved right away, they remained with Levi on top of Nico as they cried together.

After a little while, Nico gently rolled Levi to the mattress and disappeared for a few moments to grab some tissue to clean them both off.

He slid back into the bed and pulled Levi into his arms. The younger man’s head found Nico’s chest and Nico held him tighter than he’d ever held him before.

They continued to cry together in the dark. For several hours they stayed like this, neither able to succumb to sleep.

Eventually Levi sighed loudly, sitting up a little so he could look at Nico with bloodshot eyes.

He sniffed and wiped his eyes on his bare arm.

“This was a bad idea.” He croaked.

Nico cupped his face in his hand and caressed his cheek.

“Please, Levi. Please don’t say that.” A few more tears fell from his eyes as he looked up at the man he loved.

“You and I both know this changes nothing, Nico. It was a bad idea and it’s only going to hurt more when we go our separate ways again.” Levi’s tears came back and Nico used his thumb to brush them away.

He looked deep into Levi’s eyes, hoping to convey in a look just how much he loved him.

He brought Levi’s face down so he could kiss him. They both tasted the other's salty tears.

“Then let’s not go our separate ways.” Nico spoke into his lips. “Come back to San Francisco with me. Or better yet, I’ll come back to Seattle.”

Levi was already pulling away before Nico finished his sentence.

“Stop that.” He wriggled free of Nico’s hold. “Stop that. Stop saying things that are never going to happen. It hurts too much.” He shuffled down to the end of the bed, needing to create space between them.

Nico sat up but he didn’t come closer.

“Why can’t they happen? I love you Levi, I never should have left you in the first place. There’s still an attending job at Grey Sloan. I can come back and we can be together and I-“

“No.” Levi sobbed, jumping up from the bed and started looking around for his discarded clothes. “You treated me like I meant nothing to you, Nico. You lost your patient and you pushed me away. You got a job offer and you shut me out. You hurt me more than anyone has ever hurt me before and one night isn’t going to make that better.” He had his boxers on and was trying to hurriedly get into his pants.

Nico got up from the bed, not bothering to dress as he walked closer to Levi. He put his hands on his shoulders, forcing the younger man to stay still.

“I know I hurt you Levi, trust me I understand that. I was terrible to you and I ran away because I was scared.” He took a deep breath. “I was scared of how much I love you. It terrified me, feelings like that terrify me. I know I have a long way to go to make things up to you but please, let me try.”

They stared at each for a while in strained silence. Four hundred and ten days of feelings and words unspoken hung heavily between them.

All the pain and the heartache surrounded them, filling the room until they almost couldn’t breathe.

It was all too much. Too much had happened. Too much pain had been endured to just close those wounds.

Levi knew then as he looked into Nico’s eyes, he was probably never going to be able forgive him for what he’d done.

He knew now for sure it was really over.

Slowly he stepped back out of Nico’s touch, taking steps backwards towards the door.

“I can’t forgive you.” He croaked, feeling his heart shattering in his chest. “I just can’t, Nico. You don’t know how much you hurt me and nothing is ever going to make that ok again.” He almost tripped over his shirt which he grabbed and threw it on as he reached the door.

“I’ll always love you.” Nico choked back tears, knowing there was nothing he could say or do that would make Levi stay.

“No, you won’t.” Levi gave him a pathetic smile. “One day it’ll hurt less for the both of us. We’ll be ok.” He clutched the door handle, pulled on it and once the door was open he stepped out into the hallway.

“G-goodbye, Levi.” Nico let out a sob.

“Goodbye Nico.”

And as Levi closed the hotel door he knew it was more than a physical one. It was a metaphorical door closing on him and Nico.

This time it had to really be goodbye.

[antithetical-dream-girl133]

Does Nico feel anything for Levi other than sex? I truly hope he loves him more than he’s letting on. 😭

[simplybuckley]

im literally having a breakdown over this i cant stop laughing

[tevanbegins]

I've always rooted for Schmico to be endgame. Although I have usually been more on Nico's side, I have also acknowledged when his behaviour in S16 was wrong and always wanted him to come back, apologise, and fix things with Levi. Which is what sort of happened eventually, as we saw.

But now, in the present circumstances, I would never want him to come back for Levi. It's okay if Levi has met someone else — that's his business; good for him. But if Providence was so kind as to let Nico stans know that he, who seemed to have vanished into thin air post S18, was actually travelling with the Seattle Mariners, then I want that to be his happy ending. His dream job, which he finally decided to go after again.

Because, this time his decision didn't stem from selfishness, it clearly came after coming to terms with the fact that he would never be good enough for Levi, no matter what. He had stayed around a while, probably in the hopes of Levi apologising for his actions and asking to get back together, but that was never going to happen, of course. Instead of an apology, what came his way was guilt-tripping and wrongful blame. So I am proud of the fact that he chose self-respect over everything else and left to pursue his goals!

Might just be my opinion, but post S17 Levi is not worth fighting for or chasing after (from Nico's perspective.) He had subconsciously moved on from Nico a long time ago, and that's why the second break up came out of nowhere, like a tight slap to our faces. He has been pretty much okay with not having Nico in his life, despite the fact this separation was a result of his own actions. S14-17 Levi was a gem to me. But this new Levi, whoever he became for whatever reason, is not someone I want for Nico.

Does a teeny tiny portion of my depressed heart still secretly wish for a miraculous Schmico endgame? Yes. But not at the cost of Nico's dignity. Do I believe this is practically still possible? Nope, not at all. So if I dream it were to happen, the only version of it I would accept is if Levi went to wherever Nico is to get him back, not the other way around. Because I don't want Nico to walk away from a career that brings him joy, back to a world full of unnecessary drama where nobody understood or respected him. Nico and the Mariners is the endgame I never knew I wanted, but it is something I can learn to live with.

As far as Levi is concerned, let me be honest: I stopped caring a long time ago. I gave up on him and Grey's Anatomy entirely after what he did to Nico; due to his embarrassing lack of remorse even after recovering from the trauma of losing his patient Devon. So if he is moving on with this Carlos person, although I won't ever like them together, my sympathies lie with Carlos. I hope he is luckier than Nico in proving his worth and living up to Levi's unrealistically high standards of love. Whether that happens, or Levi lowers his standards, or alternatively this too goes for a toss and a third new relationship is on the horizon — it's a circus I won't be bothered about because my Nico is not among the clowns in it.

So long, Schmico. We had a good run for 3 seasons. Hopefully, this pain will wither away some day (it's been a year since it all went downhill!) and only the good old times will stay on in my memories forever.

[swiftlythebest]

Au where Nico and Levi were already established in season 14. Maybe Levi is talking about this hot boyfriend he has and nobody believes him but then Nico comes and they're all shocked and Levi is just like i told you so. Nico's just confused lol.

Okay, this one took a bit. I was debating for a while whether I should rewatch Season 14, but I ultimately decided I was too busy to be able to commit to that. Therefore, if this differs from canon (beyond the obvious AU aspect), that’s all on me and my lack of rewatch. I could see myself continuing this because it does feel a little open-ended. I really like the prompt and hope the execution was as fun and fluffy as I wanted it to be. I wrote this in the wake of buying Lover Fest tickets, which was a nerve-wracking mess so I hope this fic is more coherent than I feel at the moment. It’s a bit longer so a lot is under a cut. I hope you enjoy! 

“...But then my boyfriend called so she had to calm down, at least for a bit,” Levi Schmitt took a bite of his sandwich as he finished the story chronicling his mother’s latest freakout. He expected some laughs or maybe a few understanding nods but was instead met with five confused expressions.

“I’m sorry, your what now?” Taryn Helm was the first to snap out of whatever trance the five other interns had fallen under.

“My mother. That was a story about my mother. Duh.” Levi rolled his eyes at Taryn’s question.

“I think she was asking about the boyfriend part.” The interns nodded at Sam Bello’s suggestion.

“Oh, have I not mentioned him? Huh. Yeah, my boyfriend.” Levi shrugged, focusing his attention back on his lunch.

“Is he hot?” Dahlia Qadri smacked Vik Roy’s arm at the question. “Ow! What, you were all wondering too!”

“Who, my boyfriend?”

“No, your fish.” Casey Parker was already getting fed up with this conversation and couldn’t suppress an eye roll at Levi’s expense.

“I think so.” Levi dug his phone out of his pocket and pulled up a photo of a tall Asian man with a chiseled face, swoopy hair, and magnificent muscles. He was smiling fondly at the camera, as though the photographer were his favorite person in the world. 

“Glasses, you can’t just Google ‘hot guy’ and use some image result. We’re not gonna believe that,” Roy scoffed.

“What? No! That’s Nico! That’s my boyfriend, Nico!” Levi turned the phone towards him as though checking he had the right picture.

“That’s the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. You’re telling me he’s not only real but your boyfriend?” Sam raised her eyebrows almost to her hairline as everyone else looked expectantly at Levi.

“I… he… we… we overlapped a bit when I was in college and he was in med school. When the pre-med students would visit the med school, he always sought me out. Wanted to show me whatever stuff he was working on. We became study buddies and then friends and then best friends.” Levi shrugged through the story, trying to downplay it.

“But you slept with Jo!” Taryn exclaimed.

“We got together after that. I was venting to him about the whole ‘Glasses’ thing and how I’d never get a job here. We stayed up all night on the phone, me freaking out and him listening. He flew out the next day and showed up on my doorstep. I guess he sort of proclaimed his love for me? He said he’d loved me since we first met and hearing me so upset on the phone made him realize he needed to step up and give me something good. I don’t know.” Levi fiddled with his fingers, looking down after baring his soul.

When he looked up, the other interns were all just staring at him. Roy broke the silence with a big laugh.

“Yeah, okay. Here’s a tip, if you want us to believe you, don’t make it seem like he was the one chasing you. It just makes no sense.”

Levi looked hurt and confused, “But… that’s what happened!”

“Okay, prove it. Call him,” Roy smirked.

“I can’t. He just got off a 48-hour shift and I like to let him sleep.” 

“Hm, convenient.” While Roy was still enjoying the teasing, the other interns started to look uncomfortable and guilty. Thankfully, Jo walked in just then to give out their assignments.

“Are you too hot for me?” Levi asked as soon as Nico answered his FaceTime.

“Well hello to you too, love.” Nico smiled, used to his boyfriend’s bluntness.

“Yeah, yeah, hey, what’s up? But are you too hot for me?”

“What does that even mean?”

“Like, you’re hot. That’s a known fact. But are you too hot for me? Are we horribly mismatched?” Levi fiddled with the hem of his t-shirt, suddenly more self-conscious than he usually was when speaking to Nico.

“You’ve literally been the object of my fantasies for years now, so I’d say you’re pretty hot.” Levi choked at this comment, eliciting a deep laugh from Nico.

“I’m serious though.” Levi’s voice was small, smaller than Nico had ever heard it. 

“What brought this on?” Nico did away with his teasing tone.

“I mentioned you to the other interns. They didn’t believe that you were my boyfriend after I showed them your picture. They said it made no sense and there’s no way you were the one pining for me all these years. They thought I got a picture off of Google.” Levi gave a sad smile and a soft sigh.

Nico furrowed his brow in annoyance and confusion, “They didn’t believe you?”

“No. Why would they? It is definitely illogical.”

“I love it when you talk Vulcan to me.” Levi gave him a put-upon look, “What does it matter? You know how I feel about you, right? You know you’re my guy.”

“I know. I know! It shouldn’t matter. But I never even thought about our mismatched looks until today.”

“Look, I know you’re way hotter than I am but please don’t rub it in.” Levi gave a watery, surprised laugh, “I’m serious! Screw what other people think. I’m blown away by you. Floored. Overwhelmed. Okay?”

Levi sighed, “Okay. Okay, yeah. I’m sorry for spiraling, love. How was your day?”

“You never have to apologize to me for something like this. Never, okay?” Levi nodded, causing Nico to smile wide. “But my day was good! I’m starting to look at fellowships and my old mentor may have a lead for me.” 

Levi and Nico spoke for another two hours, only stopping when Levi almost began snoring, promising to pick it back up the next night. Even though there was still a nagging in the back of Levi’s mind, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

A few weeks, and many failed attempts to prove his relationship, later found the Grey + Sloan interns huddled together by a nurses’ station, waiting for their assignments.

“Levi!” All six interns’ heads whipped around at the excited shout, eyes landing on a suited man rushing in their direction.

“Nico! Wh- you’re here! What are you doing here?!” The man swept Levi up into a hug, picking him up slightly, a dazzling smile taking over his handsome face.

“I wanted to surprise you! I had an interview here for my fellowship and I took a few days off so I could see you.” They gazed at each other, matching smiles on their faces, too caught up in their moment to pay any mind to the gaping interns next to them.

“Wait, you’re that guy! The one Glasses keeps trying to convince us is his boyfriend!” Sam Bello snapped her fingers as the pieces slid into place, the other interns nodding next to her at the realization.

Nico turned his head, giving the other five people his attention, arms still around Levi, “I am his boyfriend. Hi, Nico Kim. Current resident at the Mayo Clinic, but I’m hoping to get a fellowship here.”

Levi smacked his chest, drawing Nico’s attention back towards him, “Why didn’t you tell me?! I thought San Francisco was your first choice!”

“Nah, you’re here. Plus, my mentor may be getting an attending job here so I’d work with him. I wanted to surprise you, love.”

“So this is real? This is a real thing?” Helm had a small smile on her face. Having spent more time with Levi over the last few weeks, she’d grown quite fond of the clumsy man and liked seeing him so happy.

“It’s so real. The realest.” Nico grinned at Helm.

“Wow, okay. Sorry to have doubted you, Schmitt.” Casey patted Levi’s shoulder as Sam and Dahlia nodded in agreement, wide-eyed.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. I stand by my disbelief.” Roy stood with his arms crossed as everyone rolled their eyes at his stubbornness, ignoring him in favor of getting to know Nico.

The interns (minus Roy) and Nico chatted for a few more minutes, Nico’s arm slung casually around Levi’s waist. Levi beamed as his coworkers got along so well with his boyfriend, glad they finally believed him. Not that he needed any sort of validation from them because he knew the man next to him loved him no matter what, which was all that really mattered. 

I’m (hopefully) back on my bullshit, so send in prompts, if you want!
