Well he was âpopular onceâ, after all đ
Levi is not traditionally romantic. He didnât exactly have a traditional upbringing so his socialisation in that department is lacking
 However, he has his own particular ways of demonstrating affection and consideration towards his partner, and if Levi is in a romantic relationship with someone then we can safely assume he and his partner know each other extremely well â it takes a while to really understand him because heâs not typically expressive at all, so patience and good old-fashioned experience are key
Levi is surprisingly physically expressive with his partner once theyâve agreed to be together.Â
Heâs been affection-starved from a very young age, and finding himself in a loving relationship brings back how beautiful it is to love and be loved by someone. He hasnât really felt that kind of thing since his mother died
Kisses very deeply. He isnât one for frivolous little pecks or absent-minded touches; when Levi touches his partner itâs because he really wants to, heâs completely there for it. Itâs very meaningful to him
Likes to press his forehead to his partnerâs and will stay in that position, memorising the feeling of being so close to them, for minutes on end
For the first months, maybe even the first few years of the relationship, Levi is extremely hungry for lovemaking. Again, affection-starved â Levi hasnât felt a lot of pleasure in his life, so finding out that something can feel so incredibly good is like a moment of spiritual revelation for him
Of course as for all long-term couples the newness of the experience wears off, but making love remains a very significant act to Levi. Heâs not the man you get into a relationship with if you want sex to be a casual, light-hearted thing
(Thatâs not to say thereâs no humour with Levi! In fact he is pretty easy to get along with once you understand all his quirks and tempers, and if his partner can get on board with his shit-based comedy then theyâre destined to be together forever)
Date nights arenât really a thing with Levi because heâs so incredibly busy with paperwork and work duties, and thatâs when heâs not away on missions for days or weeks at a time!Â
When he gets the chance to spend a good stretch of time with his partner, Levi is very particular about being alone with them and savouring the peace and quiet, maybe with some fine food and wine heâs cadged out of the Survey Corps budget
Levi has a very large bathtub.Â
Thatâs because one of his favourite romantic activities to share with his partner is to lie in there with them â already freshly showered of course, Levi would never want to spend an extended period of time lying in dirtied water â and do all the things lovers do when their naked bodies share an enclosed space.
If Levi were to do the Five Love Languages test, his result would be Acts of Service. He naturally expresses himself with actions rather than words, and this translates into his interactions with a romantic partner
He cherishes being able to do things like carry things for them (heavy or light, heâs taking it, heâs Humanityâs Strongest after all so what does it say if he doesnât carry a shitty package for his lover?) or pre-emptively complete errands for themÂ
All while swatting away their words of gratitude, of course â what, they think he does this shit because he wants to be praised like some kind of fucking golden retriever? (but also donât stop, he likes to know that youâre happy)
If Levi is going to give his partner a gift, itâs going to be extremely significant.Â
He isnât going to spontaneously pick a flower for them on his way back from the market; his presents mark important moments or dates, and thatâs if itâs important to his partner in the first place â heâd be willing to not do presents at all
Levi remembers every little thing his partner says. He might not be very responsive but heâs extremely perceptive, always listening.Â
This translates into little things like marking passages in books that he thinks his partner would be interested in, or items for the house being chosen specifically in his partnerâs favourite colour
All in all, Levi is not conventionally romanticâŠbut his own special brand of romance is all the more touching for its rarity.
