[Yes, Levi's life is truly suffering, having to be exposed to Erwin's chest and back and then putting his hands all over them. Erwin apologises for this egregious hardship he must endure.]
Oh...
[Erwin had watched as Levi reached out, and in a way, he'd been just as nervous. He already knows that he can feel many things with the new arm--the weight of a shirt over it, the metal elbow when he used it to open a door, the cottage doorknob when he turned it--but he hasn't touched another person yet. Part of him has been afraid that he won't be able to feel the lighter, softer touches the world has to offer.]
I felt that!
[It had been muffled, like Erwin had been wearing a glove when Levi touched him, but it had been there. He can feel Levi's fingertips on the metal hand, can even faintly feel the heat from them, and Erwin's face brightens like a rising sun.]
Levi, I can touch you again.
[It barely takes any concentration at all to make the metal hand turn, and gently wrap around Levi's.]
