instead of myself

Historia doesn’t remember the last time someone touched her so much since Ymir left. No one touches the Queen unless they have to, unless it’s necessary, and she doesn’t ask for others to touch her. She doesn’t want anyone touching her because they all respect her, but are her subjects and make it clear they don’t want to because they feel unworthy.And yet, Levi hasn’t stopped touching her since he offered his hand, and even though it’s gentle, subtle, and barely there, it has all awakened something within her.--(part two of a series but can stand alone)
