Let your hair down. (Closed - For Levi) Fairy tale plot!

Lara had been riding for a solid day when she finally saw the tower her employer had laid out for her in the map Lara had been given.

In the setting sun, she looked the place over from a vantage point on a hill opposite and bit her lip, wondering how she was supposed to get in. The high walls of the castle below were in serious disrepair. Some had crumbled to just piles of rubble and the ones that hadn't looked treacherous to her eyes even from this distance. Maybe she could scale them but she would likely start a rockfall and get buried underneath it. Not worth the risk.

The tower itself though...that seemed relatively unaffected. Not that it had been repaired or bolstered in any way, just that time and nature didn't seem like they had been inclined to touch it. If she'd been a betting woman, she'd have put money on the tower being no more than twenty or thirty years old. Certainly far younger than the stones of the walls below it.

It was also at least twice as high as the highest of the walls below it. Lara groaned as she realised the rope and grapple she had brought was never going to reach the small window at the top.

She sighed and kicked her horses flanks to get it moving. At the base of the tower she set camp and lit a small fire, laying out her bedroll and putting a pot on to boil. Maybe inspiration would come after a hot meal and some sleep.

Levi thought it was strange how she touched his face but everything felt so smooth and sensitive he couldn't really bring himself to complain. It felt amazing and unlike anything he had sensed before. Even the roughness of her hands couldn't disguise how soft his skin was feeling.

"I probably look pretty silly," he said, flushing a bit as she changed her position in his lap.

"No! No, it's fine, it's fine for now," he said, not wanting her to move. For one, she might shift and feel how aroused he was (and she'd definitely noticed if he had to stand) but he also didn't want her to move from his lap. "And my face really feels lighter. Maybe.... maybe I should cut my hair?"

Levi flushed just a bit at the compliment. He tried to take good care of his hair so it was nice that someone appreciated that. Even if they were just about to cut it off. Still, he could live with that, especially if it got him out of here.

"Yes, I don't trust myself to do it," he said.

"Just do it before I change my mind," he said, giving her an unsteady smile. The proximity of her was distracting but that was a good thing. That way he didn't have to think about what was happening too much, about how for the first time in his life his hair was going to be cut. But he wanted this, because it meant leaving the tower. Leaving the tower with her which seemed oddly comforting. He didn't know anything about the world and she made him feel safe.

Levi kept his eyes close as he felt Lara cut off his hair, concentrating on his breathing. It also helped the she pressed his head into her chest, which was very distracting. She really had a very nice chest and that was... incredibly exciting for him and a good distracting. It felt like she was maybe even pushing them up. By the time it was done and he felt the air on his neck his head felt incredibly light.

"Is that... is that it? I kind of thought it would hurt."

"It feels strange," he said, giving a bit of a laugh. He wasn't sure if his head was leaning forward because of the sudden lack of weight or just because he didn't want to move it away from her chest. After a moment's thought he decided that it was because her chest was amazing. "I like it though."

Busted.

"Ah, well..."

He could feel his face flush at the accusation. Growing up in the tower he'd never had a lot of experience with lying. There wasn't much need except on occasion to his father but that was it. Plus, he didn't like lying.

"It, um, well it's a very nice chest."

"In works of art, I have a book here with sketches of some of the greater paintings and sculptures but, ah, no, I have never seen one in person that I can remember," he said, face flushing as he glanced away, suddenly aware of how little experience he had in literally every aspect of life.

"Except how will anyone ever compare to the woman who rescued me from the tower?" Levi asked with a smile, reaffirming in his mind that he would leave with this woman. There was an entire world out there and he was determined to see at least more than just his tower's worth.

"Shouldn't we wait until tomorrow so we have a full day of light to travel by?" Levi asked. While he'd never been out of the tower he had read stories about things that took place outside the tower. He'd educated himself on how to travel and what you could and couldn't eat. It was all theoretical but it was all Levi had.

"The soldiers around the tower are usually asleep just before dawn and wake up shortly after before they're relieved of duty."

"I, uh, I usually read but... I don't have any new book sand I've already read these several times over," Levi admitted, feeling somewhat foolish to lead such a boring life. He must seem incredibly dull.

"I just finished exercising before you showed up. Honestly I usually start washing my hair now because it takes forever to clean but... not much need for that now."

"I can show you of you want!" Levi said, almost blurting it out. His routine wasn't anything special but he'd gotten so good at it he wanted to show her. Not just because she was the first woman he's ever seen but he wanted to show someone before he left. "It's not really a bother."
