A Crushing Victory

This is the third part of my “when he knew he loved you” series.

✨My Masterlist✨

Warnings: Cursing Pairing: Leviathan x GN!MC Words: 1201

“Damn it!” Levi curses. He’s been stuck at the same part of his new game for over an hour. He’s lost track of how many times he’s tried it. He takes a deep breath before trying again, only to die within a few seconds. He groans and drops his controller on the floor, resisting the urge to stand on the desk and scream at the top of his lungs.

If it weren’t for Lucifer’s threat to confiscate his gaming computer, he probably would. He takes his headphones off and slams them on the desk, a way to release some frustration. Then he realizes that they’d done nothing wrong and that breaking them will not help.

He sighs when he realizes he’s feeling empathy for a pair of headphones. Then a gentle rap at the door startles him.

“Password,” he says, knowing that it’s you. You had told him you’d be by after you finished your study session with Satan.

“Let me in, Levi,” you reply. He rolls his eyes. Why does he bother coming up with passwords if you won’t use them? Stupid normie.

Nevertheless, he opens the door before returning to his chair. As you go to join him, you nearly step on his controller.

“Oops, I almost killed this,” you say as you hold it out to him.

“Might as well,” Leviathan grumbles. He takes it and you sit down.

“So… you wanna play DevilKart?” you ask, already grabbing your controller from the desk.

He gestures to the screen, “actually, I’m kinda in the middle of something right now.”

“Oh.” Levi notices the disappointment in your tone and starts to change his mind. “I don’t mind watching till you beat it.”

“Cool.” He says, selecting ‘retry.’

“Is that Azeroth? I’ve heard he’s the worst boss in the game,” you ask, just before the enemy strikes down Levi’s character.

He huffs, “yep.”

“Try again,” you say. He does. In fact, he makes dozens and dozens of attempts. Levi doesn’t notice it getting late. He can only focus on this stupid fucking boss with his stupid fucking rejuvenation powers. How is he supposed to beat someone that gets his full health restored every time he lands an attack on Levi’s character?

It’s not fair!

You try to help, both with encouragement and advice. You even try it yourself a few times. But it’s beyond annoying and you simply don’t have the patience. While Levi is the type to try over and over until it’s done, you’re content with losing three times.

You’ve got the cutscene memorized, it’s annoying as hell. You never want to hear the word ‘vanquished’ ever again. Not that it comes up a lot in real life, but still.

You’re getting pretty tired, but you said you’d watch. So… you sit there, waiting desperately for Azeroth to meet his end. You start to yawn, covering your mouth with your hand. The screen flashes. “VANQUISHED,” announces the game. You grit your teeth, that fucking word. Levi groans.

“Maybe you could put it down for a bit and try again later? Or we could look up a walkthrough?” you suggest, yawning again.

“Mmhmm,” he hums. You can tell he’s in hyperfocus mode. You grab a plushie off the shelf and start to fiddle with its clothing. Straightening out its collar and fluffing up the skirt. Eventually, you hold it in your lap like a teddy bear and sink back into your chair.

Your eyes start to close against your will, but Levi doesn’t notice. Within minutes, you’re sound asleep. The stream of constant curses and the sound effects from the game aren’t loud enough to wake you.

Finally, finally, he pulls it off. His character stands triumphantly over the foe and Levi leaps out of his chair and cheers.

“MC! MC, did you see that? It was amazing! I’m so glad I recorded this, I’m gonna post it on—” he pauses for a second when he realizes you aren’t cheering. Then his brows scrunch as he takes in your sleeping form, “MC?”

He rubs at his tired eyes before glancing at the clock, 3:21. Holy fuck. How long had he been working at this? Over… four hours. You’d been keeping him company since midnight.

When had you fallen asleep? He can’t recall. He starts to poke you awake, so you can sing his praises, as you always do when he does something awesome. But, before his finger touches your arm, his gaze falls on your sleeping face.

A blush creeps across his cheeks. Stupid kawaii human, drooling on one of his limited edition plushies. He grimaces, but decides he doesn’t mind too much. It’s not one of his favorites anyway.

Finished with the game for now, he turns it off. Then stands there for a few moments, unsure whether he should wake you. As he’s trying to decide, you move in your sleep, leaning a bit too far back. His eyes widen as your chair starts to topple over.

Before it can dump you to the floor, he grabs it by the top of the backrest, pulling it forward. Once it’s steady, he realizes you’re now awake. And staring up at him, confused.

“Y- your chair started to fall so I caught it,” he blurts out.

“Oh thanks,” you start, a blush on your face. He quickly backs away.

“I… I beat Azeroth,” Levi says, changing the subject.

“Really? That’s awesome! Good job!”

“Yeah, uh, you wanna see how I did it?” he asks.

“Hell yeah!” you answer excitedly. But when he turns to find the recording, you take the opportunity to yawn. After you see his recorded victory twice, you start to share your thoughts, “it was really smart of you to use those two moves together! And the poison attack while he was restoring his health! I didn’t think of that!”

He beams at your praise. And you start to stand, legs wobbly from sitting so long. You place Ruri-chan back on the shelf carefully and turn towards him.

“I’m gonna head to bed now, before I break my neck falling out of the chair.” You laugh.

He nods, “see you tomorrow?”

“Of course,” you start, then you narrow your eyes, “but we’re playing DevilKart.”

“I promise. I’m… sorry I got so caught up in that,” Levi apologizes.

You smile. “It’s okay. I think it’s sweet how focused you get,” you say, patting his arm. “Goodnight.”

And with that, you exit, leaving him alone in the dark, clutching the arm you’d just touched.The blush on his face is brighter than the light from the monitor behind him.

“Sweet?” he says aloud. You think he’s sweet? This is like that one manga he read, ‘I kept my friend up all night playing video games and they confessed their love for me.’

He flops back in his chair, staring at your empty one. Is that actually how you felt about him? His arm is still tingly. Holy shit, how does he feel about you?

(The next evening, he keeps his promise. And because he can’t focus, you win every single race. Which annoys him, but when you smile, he feels his face heat and subconsciously touches his arm.)
