Hi everyone! First of all, thank you for all of the love on Was It Casual! I had a lot of fun writing it 🫶🏻
Now I need help picking what to write for my next one. I have a few ideas in mind but I literally can’t decide so I wanted to get your thoughts and let you all vote! These are just the basic themes, nothing set in stone with plot:
Jealous Levi OR Jealous Reader — Canonverse
“Who did this to you?” Trope — Canonverse
Frat Levi — College AU (Hear me out…I have an idea based off of his loyalty to his comrades and his personality. That’s all I’m going to say about it for now)
Comment, send an ask, or vote below (it’s open for 3 days) 👇🏻
Levi Ackerman x Reader
↳ Check out Levi's Masterlist for more!
This is more mature! Not full smut because I actually suck at writing it. A girl would need an entire bottle of wine to even get something down for it (😭) but it does contain a little bit of spicier scenes than normal. I prefer to have 18+ readers only for this one even if it's not full smut, but I'm not going to parent you. Please make good decisions.
Warnings: heavily implied sex, language, talks of violence and a bad childhood (minor)
WC: ~5k (it's long)

"Just sex."
You nodded, echoing Levi's statement. "Just sex."
And that was the first time you found yourself pushed up against your fellow officer's desk in a tangle of tongue and teeth. Something to take the edge off, you told yourself as his hands roamed across your body, his lips leaving sloppy kisses up and down your neck.
You had known Levi since he first joined the Scouts—surly and trying to commit a felony. Your attitude wasn't much better at the time either, and you two always seemed to butt heads.
Commander Erwin—squad leader back then—was your hero. Pulling you off the streets and out of squalor because he saw something in you no one else ever had. So when the dark-haired thug joined, you didn't appreciate the disrespect.
But then something changed when his friends died. Levi's disrespect turned into unwavering loyalty towards Erwin.
Because of that, you couldn't help but feel bad for him after he watched the only family he really had be torn to shreds. So, you sat with him that day. Forcing him to accept the invisible hand you reached out with. Telling him to just shut up when he glared at you and let you pay your respects.
He did, and eventually you came to a tentative truce.
After that, you both began accepting the fact that neither of you were going away and started to grow up. Climbing the ranks together, having your squads assigned together. Everything just meshing together.
It made sense. He was Humanity’s Strongest, and you were a close second. So, of course Commander Erwin would put his two strongest squads together on occasion. It was never easy, but it had worked.
Somewhere along the lines of arguments, shared losses, and apologies—even though Levi would claim he never apologized—trust was built. You knew no matter what, Levi would have your back outside of the walls, and you would have his.
You were comrades, friends even—though Levi would deny that part.
But now...how you wound up casually sleeping with the Captain, you still couldn't wrap your head around that one.
What made it stranger was that he was the one who approached you about it. Of course, that might have been your fault when he walked into a supply closet and caught you with another soldier going down on you.
Levi was frozen in the door way, your leg propped up on a crate and the other young man on his knees.
"Get out!" you had snapped at him. He just stood there, narrowing his eyes and leveling a glare at the poor guy.
"Levi!" you said exasperatedly as your friend scrambled to grab his discarded jacket and bolt out of there. Levi tracked his movements until he disappeared around the corner while you hastily pulled your pants back on.
"You couldn't have done that anywhere else but here?" he asked flatly.
You scowled. "No one ever comes down to this supply closet."
"I do."
You merely rolled your eyes, storming past him and making sure to slam into his shoulder as you stomped out.
"Don't let your relationship affect you out there," he called after you, stopping you in your tracks. You whirled finding him approaching you with a bucket of cleaning supplies.
"I'm not in a relationship," you snipped, letting yourself fall into step with him.
"Tch." His jaw ticked once, the only indication of his ire.
"You do know people can have casual sex."
"I didn't say anything," he said, looking ahead.
"Yeah, well you got that judgy look in your eyes," you retorted.
"I don't."
"You do. But that's beside the point. Life is depressing enough, so why not have a little fun?"
"Whatever," he said, turning in the opposite direction and leaving you standing in the empty hall.
You hadn't really thought much of it after the fact. Although, every time you ran into him he couldn't look you in the eye. It took him about a week to get over it before he was back to telling you how shitty of a job you do at cleaning.
It was fine. Everything was normal until he summoned you into his office and made his proposal.
And that was that. It was just sex. Mind-blowing sex.
Where you now found yourself after the fourth round—no fifth round of the evening.
Levi was propped up against the headboard, watching as you scrambled around grabbing your clothes that were strewn all over his floor.
When you sat back down to put your boots on, you felt the bed shift. His warm hand landed on you, thumb rubbing soothing circles on your back.
After tugging on your shoes, you turned to look at him.
Though his face didn't show it, you could've sworn his eyes were glimmering with something akin to fondness. Your heart jolted in your chest, a small fluttering feeling working its way up into your stomach under his gaze.
Levi didn't say anything, just kept watching you with an indiscernible look.
"Thanks for the ride, Captain," you smirked, hiding behind your ego, trying to loosen some of the tension in the air.
Levi rolled his eyes, finally pulling away and grumbling something about your foul mouth. You felt yourself smiling faintly before standing and leaving without another word.
Things were good with him. Great even. But after weeks of this arrangement, something changed. You doubted he thought that way, but you sure did.
It was the little things like taking care of you afterwards or asking if you were okay on nights he was rougher. How he would search your face for any signs of discomfort and freeze the moment something didn't feel right. But it was the tenderness in his voice when doing so that caught you off guard.
The arrangement never started that way.
It was just sex. That's all it could be because people died every day. Enough of your own comrades and friends had died over the years you had been in the regiment. You just didn't think it was worth having your heart ripped out watching someone you truly loved die.
You knew Levi felt the same way. He was as closed off as you were. The sex with him was hot. Perfect to the point he probably ruined you for anyone else, but it was surface level. It was easy. Meetings ending with you both panting and satisfied, leaving each other's rooms like nothing ever happened.
But one night he asked you to stay. Out of the blue, he had gripped your hand as you were getting up to grab your clothes.
“Stay,” he had said quietly. “Just tonight.”
Levi didn’t ask again. He would still take care of you afterwards—soft with you in a way he’d never let anyone else see—but that was the only night you remained with him.
It stuck with you, your heart twisting when you had to force yourself walk away.
Eventually you finally came to the realization that you did want to stay there, wrapped up in his arms. And it terrified you. Stay with him, talk about everything and nothing just like you used to do, jest with each other.
Deep down you wanted all of it.
You still wanted all of it as you walked back to your room this evening.
With that look he gave you tonight, his hand rubbing your back tenderly, that feeling from being around him…it sent you scrambling back to as if you could outrun it.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
The next afternoon, your squad had been paired up with Levi’s for hand to hand. Something about giving the group of teenagers he now had to 'babysit', as he liked to call it, a chance to learn from seasoned veterans. Your squad had also been replenished with newer recruits who could use the help too.
You hadn’t been paying attention to what Erwin said during morning briefing, too focused on trying to forget the way Levi had touched you the previous night. More specifically, his searing gaze that made it felt like he saw into your soul.
Now, you couldn’t help notice how he was every bit of a soldier, once again, glaring at everyone and barking orders.
“Fix your stance Jaeger,” he ordered as the teenager dropped his left shoulder for the third time.
The poor kid blanched at the cold look Levi gave him and picked it back up.
You sighed, turning your attention back to some of your new replacements. They weren’t terrible, but you cringed when Mikasa flipped over her partner again.
The boy had the wind knocked out of him, grasping at his chest.
“You got quite the pick of the litter,” Levi’s voice sounded in your ear, making you flinch. You hadn’t heard him approach.
“Jesus, Levi,” you hissed, clutching your chest and stumbling away from him a little. He gave you a weird look but didn’t say anything.
“They aren’t the worst,” you finally said after gathering yourself.
He cast another sidelong look at you. You averted your eyes, that stupid fluttering feeling returning in your stomach.
“I’ve seen MPs fight better than that one.” He jerked his chin in the direction of Mikasa again. Just as she slammed the boy back into the ground.
“You shouldn’t have paired him with Mikasa,” you shook your head, crossing your arms.
“She’s the only one that will make him better, Y/N,” he said lowly. "I handed you your ass plenty of times and you got better."
You ignored his comment, more focused on how your name rolled over his tongue.
Levi had said your name hundreds of times, thousands. Either you were dying or it was the stagnant heat of the warm day, but the way he dragged out the syllables did something to you.
Your eyes flicked to his and back down to the ground. The movement did not go unnoticed by Levi.
Flashes of the night before popped into your head.
His calloused hands gripping your wrists, a trail of hot, wet kisses moving down the valley of your breasts. Levi’s soft whispers about how good you felt, how you were just made for him, and the way—
A hand landed on your shoulder and you actually jumped this time.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Levi’s face came into view. Your face burned, crimson staining your cheeks.
“Nothing.” You shrugged off his hand.
He gave you a look that said he didn’t believe you, but he was never one to push. A little part of you wanted him to though.
Ask me. You silently pleaded. Show me you care like I do. Tell me I’m not the only one feeling like this.
Of course, Levi did not. You scowled, shaking yourself off.
You were not going to get worked up over some guy. Especially when you were the one telling him that casual sex was fun. Not relationships.
Levi continued to eye you warily when you finally snapped at the young recruit who had been punched in the face this time by Mikasa.
“You know you can do something about that,” you barked. “It’s called moving out of the way!”
The boy looked like he was about to cry, and you instantly regretted it, reining in your temper. Between you and Levi, you were considerably kinder and more receptive to, well, everyone, but you had your moments.
Which is why Levi was staring at you with a mildly inquisitive look. His face was masked in boredom, but you could see it in his eyes. You could always see it in his eyes. The steel grey you had grown accustomed to watching as you would come undone under his—NO!
You wanted to scream at your wandering thoughts.
“You know, you would've thought last night would've calmed you down. Not make you more uptight. I guess I didn't do a good job,” Levi muttered wryly. Your head snapped up towards him.
His mouth twitched, the only hint of amusement before he stalked off.
Huffing, you decided to throw yourself into helping your squad. Training eventually finished, and you had nearly forgotten about your mess of a mind when you had caught Levi lingering near the fences where everyone’s jackets were thrown over.
His eyes met yours with a slight tilt of his head. You knew what he was offering.
Something ugly in your gut twisted when he turned and started walking off. It wasn’t a good idea especially with how you had been feeling lately.
But something was always better than nothing…right?
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Wrong.
Following that earth-shattering orgasm after training, that had you nearly screaming his name for the entire Scout regiment to hear, things had escalated.
Sex? That had always been perfect.
No.
It was those little moments with him again that had you questioning your sanity.
They trickled into your daily routine now. That same evening you had been sitting with Hange listening to them ramble about their next experiment with Eren.
A hand reached out in between you to grab something off the table. The warmth you had grown to know by heart pressing slightly into your back, his breath caressing your ear.
“No one cares, four-eyes,” Levi deadpanned, grabbing a piece of bread and walking off.
Hange ignored him, but he left you sitting there dumbfounded and overthinking. Levi would never invade anyone else’s personal space like that.
It’s not like he had an aversion to touch, obviously, but he could’ve easily gotten what he needed without being that close to you.
The following days it was a hand on your lower back if he walked around you or followed you into a room. It was how he brushed a stray piece of hair out of your face after you collided with one of your recruits during training, and the way he searched your face to make sure you were okay.
The way you’d come back after patrol to find your room spotless with a book you had mentioned wanting to read sitting on your desk with a note.
I came to drop this off and your office was a mess. -L
You wanted to combust.
And every day, when he did these things and asked for release later that night, something inside you started to break.
Just like tonight.
You knew you shouldn't have followed him when he inclined his head and slunk out of the mess hall. You told yourself you weren't going to. But your body moved on instinct and now here you were pressed up against him.
"Jump," Levi mumbled against your lips. You obeyed, hopping up on his desk.
Small gasps fell from your lips as he placed open-mouth kissed across your face, jaw, and down your neck.
His hands dug into the soft flesh of your hips. You spread your legs open feeling him press into you and start fumbling at the buttons of your shirt.
"Your mine," he growled lowly.
You froze.
Levi halted all movements.
"What?" he asked, pulling his head back just enough to look at you.
You ran a nervous hand through your hair.
"I just—I...What are we?"
The words came tumbling out of your mouth before you could stop it. Levi's face scrunched up in confusion. "What?" he repeated.
You sighed, slumping a bit.
"It's just you keep doing these things. Saying these things. And i-it makes me think that this isn't really casual sex anymore."
Levi's gaze on you sharpened. He took a step back, and you could already see it forming in his eyes. Those walls he'd built up so high it was nearly impossible to get through.
"What have I been doing?" he asked quietly.
You opened your mouth and closed it. Tried again.
"I don't know Levi," you threw your hands up in the air. The burning heat between you two, completely gone.
"Leaving books in my office and cleaning it up. Making sure I'm okay after training. Saying things like 'you're mine' and taking care of me."
Your words hung in the air between the both of you. Levi's jaw ticked, and you watched in real time as he slid the locks into place. Pushing you away without even saying anything.
You stood slowly, gathering your things.
"You're reading into it too much," he said.
The words made you flinch. You shouldn't even have brought it up in the first place.
You closed your eyes, steeling yourself for a minute.
"Fine," was all you said, turning around to meet his hard stare with one of your own.
"I don't think we should do this anymore. We can find pleasure elsewhere," you added, just to hit him where it hurt. That was one condition of your arrangement. No one else. He had been very adamant on that.
Levi's eyes darkened, his face falling into a scowl.
"Whatever you want." He clicked his tongue, moving to stand behind his desk, putting physical distance between you, every bit of the ruthless soldier you knew out in the field.
He didn't say anything else, and you took that as your cue to leave. Without another word, you marched over to the door flinging it open.
"You just had to go and catch feelings didn't you?" you heard him say bitterly.
You whirled around, your own temper flaring and not caring that you were walking a very fine line you liked to avoid.
"What's so wrong about that?" you gritted your teeth, hand tightening on the door knob.
"Everything," he hissed. "We had a good thing going. You said it yourself. You might as well have some fun when we're likely going to die any day now."
"I'm not the one to blame for this," you seethed. "You came to me with this offer. And then you started acting like you cared. What was I supposed to think? We've been with each other for years now, Levi. I'm still alive! And you're acting like I'm just another body to you."
"You are." The words came out before he could stop them.
You froze. Blinked. Refusing to acknowledge the burning sensation behind your eyes.
"I thought we were past this," you said quietly, the fire in your veins doused by his harsh words. "I thought we were friends."
Levi stared at you with what you could only describe as anger and annoyance. His eyes flashed though with something that almost, almost, looked like guilt.
You shook your head laughing lowly. "Of course not. Captain Levi doesn't have any friends. Because he's too damn scared," you spit.
Without giving him a chance to say anything, you slammed his door shut and sprinted back to your room before the tears could start to fall.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Days after your fight with Levi, you were more miserable than you cared to admit. You didn't find someone else. Hell, you didn't want to.
He didn't bother speaking with you outside of the duties you two shared. Answering you in clipped sentences and moving on with his day. That was expected though. And it's not like you had been actively going out of your way to talk to him either.
To make matters worse, Levi was also in a foul mood which set everyone on edge.
It was obvious to everyone around you that you were the cause of each other's attitudes. Erwin even made a comment about it to you which resulted in you snapping at him. You were lucky he didn't strip you of your rank, and extremely grateful that he gave you a sympathetic look and didn't push any further.
"OK!" Hange's voice rang out five days later in the mess hall. Their hands slammed onto the table you were sitting at, snapping you out of your sulking.
"YOU need to go talk to him," Hange demanded. You turned to see them standing over you. They had a desperate look about them.
"I don't need to do anything," you muttered turning back to the food you were poking around on your plate. Hange scoffed slipping in the seat next to you.
They shook their head. "This is the twentieth time he's bitten my head off and it's not even noon. Go. Talk. To. Him."
"I didn't even do anything," you argued. Hange gave you a sympathetic look but still said, "Clearly you did because he hasn't been this pissy since you two hated each other way back then."
"He can get over it," you snapped, averting your gaze. They barked out a laugh.
"Levi. Captain Shorty who can hold a grudge like it's no one's business, can get over it?"
"Spare me." You rolled your eyes.
"You're just as bad as he is," they scoffed. "Seriously. Go apologize, fuck him again for all I care. Just make it stop! Both of you are making it depressing around here."
You nearly choked.
"I-we're. We're not fucking," you spluttered.
They gave you a look that screamed 'really?'
"Y/N. I love you, but you are so stupid sometimes. I know you two have been fucking for like the past month," Hange said.
Your eyes widdened, and they snorted.
"You two weren't subtle. I've been around the both of you long enough. Besides, I heard you one night when I was walking back to my room. Sounded hot," they smirked.
You rolled your eyes, shoving their grinning face away.
"Anyways, you seriously need to go talk to him. Eren and Armin were crawling off the training field yesterday," Hange said seriously.
"He can do whatever he likes with his squad," you replied evenly. Although, you started biting at your finger nails at the thought. You knew how he could push people past their limits.
They stared at you for a moment and sighed. "He really messed you up didn't he?"
You glanced down at your hands, letting out a breath. Hange was one of your best friends. You could give them at least this much.
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten attached to the least emotionally available person in the Scouts," you whispered.
Hange leaned their head on your shoulder, offering you comfort.
"I think you fell for him a long time ago. Not just now," they said.
You shifted to look at them. Hange lifted their head off you, their features softening.
"I've never seen two people at each others throats like you two. But I could never figure out if you wanted to kill each other or kiss each other when you got into your fights," they explained. "It was honestly scary how passionate the two of you were."
You snorted.
"But it wasn't just you," Hange continued. "He was always watching. Every time we were outside of the walls, when you'd brush by him at dinner. He eyes always followed you wherever you went."
You didn't know what to say. Something in your chest eased a bit at their words, but it still didn't make it hurt any less.
If you were being honest with yourself, you missed him. His dry remarks, his ego, his stubbornness. All of him. You never noticed how much Levi was in your orbit until he was gone, regardless if you were sleeping with him.
"Why can't he say it, then? He told me I was just another body," you finally spoke.
"You know how awkward and weird he gets when it comes to feelings," they replied. "You're one of his closest friends. You should know by now he'll never shower you with sweet words and comfort. And he probably panicked and didn't have enough time to process. I really think you should just go talk to him."
You thought about it for a moment, internally warring with yourself. Hange had a point. You didn't know why you expected him to verbally tell you how he felt. Especially, when you weren't even able to express your feelings.
It was like looking in a mirror when you saw him. Two sides of the same coin. Ultimately your pride won out though.
"No. He owes me an apology. I've sucked it up and apologized to him before, so he can do that for me."
Hange let out an exasperated noise and threw their hands in the air.
"You're a stubborn ass. The two of you are perfect for each other."
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Later that afternoon, you found yourself wandering around. Chores were finished, and your eyes were crossing at all of the reports you had been staring at for the past two hours.
As you were never in that much danger around HQ, you weren't paying attention when a pair of arms wrapped around you. Your instincts kicked in immediately, elbow swinging backwards and colliding with your captor's face.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Hange squealed.
"Hange?" you froze for a second.
"I'm sorry Captain!" another familiar voice pleaded when you resumed resisting. Moblit.
"What the hell are you two doing?" you shouted, kicking out your legs to try and swing out of their grasp.
"This is for your own good!" Hange shouted back.
You flailed, not wanting to hurt them, but to get out of their tight hold. Moblit grabbed your legs, further inhibiting your ability to slip away. You were so confused.
"Hold her, Moblit!" Hange screeched.
"HANGE!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," you could hear Moblit profusely apologizing.
Eventually, they had managed to wrestle you down the hall and threw you into an empty room.
You landed on the ground, irritation flaring, but before you could reach the door, Hange slammed it in your face with a smirk. The sound of the lock clicking into place filled your ears.
"Hange," you growled and started banging on the door. "HANGE!"
They cackled on the other side. "You're not coming out of there until you two make up!"
You froze and turned slowly on your heel.
Levi was leaning up against the back window with his arms crossed and a bored expression on his face. Your eyes widened before swinging back around and banging on the door again.
"They aren't coming back," he said flatly.
You whirled around with a glare.
"Why are you here?"
He shrugged, "Four-eyes said they wanted to show me something and told me to meet them here."
"Well, you could've left. I'm sure you heard us coming down the hallway." You blew some of the hair that had flopped over your eye out of your face and leaned against the door.
Levi clicked his tongue, glancing out the window.
"I wanted to see what they were doing."
You rolled your eyes and didn't say anything. Between getting dragged here against your will and him, you weren't in a great mood.
"And when I heard you were with them, I wanted to stay."
Your eyes flicked up from a spot on the floor to him. Levi was still staring out the window, shoulders tense and jaw tight.
"Why?" was all you asked, glancing back down to the floor.
You felt his gaze land on you.
He took a deep breath and begrudgingly said, "Because Hange came to me saying how miserable everyone is around us and that I screwed up. They were right."
You snapped your attention back to him, slightly gawking. "I never thought I'd hear you say that," you said.
Levi paused, taking you in.
"I'm sorry," he said tightly. Now that really caught your attention.
You watched him closely. He glanced around looking nervous for once. I could have some fun with that, you thought.
"For what?" you drawled, mustering your usual swagger.
Levi's eyes narrowed at the feline smile that began spreading across your face. Oh, you were going to get him to talk and enjoy every second of it.
He scowled at you as if he read your thoughts.
"For being a dick," he said through gritted teeth. Your brows flicked up.
"That's oddly unspecific. You're a dick ninety percent of the time."
"Stop enjoying this so much." He took a step towards you, fists clenched at his sides.
"I'm not." You traced your finger on the table, stalking towards him. "I just want to hear you say it."
"No." He followed your movements. You were circling him like a predator.
"You're just as stuck as me," you purred, coming around behind him. It was so easy to get under his skin. Just like he would do to you. Especially when you two were fighting.
The girl who was moping around for days was gone. With him, you slipped back into your old habits.
It was so easy with him. He knew you better than anyone else.
Levi turned with you, clocking every step. "Why are you like this?" he huffed.
You finally stopped in front of him, crossing your arms. "You get under my skin sometimes. So it's only fair to me. Plus I like seeing you squirm."
"Say it," you demanded.
He continued to stare at you. You stared right back. A battle of sheer wills.
"I've apologized plenty of times before." you said. "You can do it too, Captain."
"Tch. Your half-assed apologies don't count," he scoffed, but you could see him wavering.
You blew out a breath, letting go of your enjoyment in tormenting him.
"But I apologized," you said earnestly. "Like friends do."
His shoulders dropped barely. "Fine. I'm sorry for acting like you were an object. You're more than that to me."
Some of the tension loosened. His words caught you off guard, your own internal fears trying to claw their way up your throat at the sincerity in his words. You pasted a lazy smile on your face falling back into your usual mask, shoving them back down.
"Thank you. Now was that—"
"I'm not done," he interrupted. You closed your mouth immediately and stood up straighter.
Levi sighed, but continued, "You mean so much to me, and you were right."
He looked like he was in pain admitting that, but you didn't say anything, letting him go at his own pace.
"I don't know why I started doing all of those little things. But somewhere along the road...it wasn't just casual sex for me anymore. And I didn't know how to handle that. I thought that's just what you wanted so I shut up. Buried it inside and took whatever parts of you you gave me. I shouldn't have led you on, and I'm sorry."
Your chest warmed at his admission. So it wasn't just you. You opened your mouth. If he could offer you this, surely you could say something.
A pathetic 'oh' was all you could manage.
Silence hung heavy between you.
Levi tensed again, glancing around the room.
"Is that all you have to say? You normally, I don't know, give me shit or something," he muttered.
The corners of your lips quirked up.
"I just don't really know what to say without scaring you or myself off," you said, calmly taking a step towards him.
Be bold. He gave you a small piece of himself.
Carefully, you reached your shaking hand towards his.
"You practically forced your way into my life, and I'm still here" he said quietly, allowing you to tangle your hands together.
"It was never casual for me either," you breathed coming closer, ignoring his jab. He searched your eyes for a heartbeat.
"Good," was all he said before pressing his lips onto yours.
His warmth engulfed you as his one hand wrapped around your waist and splayed across your back while his other came up to tangle in your hair. You groaned under his touch, gripping him back and pulling him close.
The kiss was intense, but with an air of softness around it. It was everything he couldn't say. Everything you couldn't say because you were both too afraid to speak it into existence. But it was still real. That precious thing between you two.
It was there and you didn't think it would be going away any time soon.
"You can't die on me now," he said in between kisses.
"I won't," you easily replied, capturing the soft flesh of his lips between yours once more.
"Everyone I care about usually does."
You heard it. That soft admission hidden beneath blunt words. His fear after losing everyone he's ever loved.
"Your lack of faith in me is offensive, Captain," you giggled, but tenderly pressed your lips back against his, reassuring him that you would do everything in your power not to. Levi sighed through his nose, body relaxing more as he felt your silent message. And that was enough for him to set aside his fears for now.
"I'm not labeling us," he mumbled, his lips moving in a familiar pattern. Across your cheek, down your jaw, and to that sweet spot on your neck. He hummed, pure male smugness, when you let out a gasp.
"I didn't ask you to," you said breathlessly.
"But you're mine." He repeated those same words from the other night. Your heart skipped a beat at the insinuation in his voice.
"Forever," you affirmed. His hands tightened around you for a second before he started tugging at the hem of your shirt.
Just then the door creaked open. You both stilled.
"You're welcome!" Hange's voice sang from down the hall.
For a second you just stared at each other, and then you barked out a small laugh. Levi's mouth twitched as he watched, eyes burning with affection.
"Come on," you said, grabbing his hand and leading him out of the room.
"See that wasn't so hard to apologize," you teased as you carried on your way. He scoffed, but didn't let go of your hand.
"You're a pain in my ass," he sighed.
"Yeah, but I don't think you'd have it any other way." Levi rolled his eyes, but gave you one of his rare smiles.
Needless to say, the entire Scout regiment gave Hange a lot of praise and thanks later that night when the both of you walked in trying to hide your small grins.

i still don't know how to make my endings stronger ughhh. but i hope you enjoyed!
Levi is a softie in this. He's so challenging to write because I want to do his character justice, but I also want him to be soft and yearn at times. So, I hope my interpretation worked!
I reread and edited and reread some more so hopefully I didn’t miss any mistakes. Please enjoy!
Warnings: slight harassment, misogynistic comment, language

Levi never understood why Commander Erwin wanted to host these parties every year. It was stupid and a waste of time to kiss ass to the other branches of the military all while pretending to celebrate holidays—at least Levi thought so as he found himself sequestered in a shadowed alcove at another annual 'Scouts Gala' as Erwin liked to call it.
He was nursing the ale that was shoved into his hand when he arrived, carefully watching everyone.
Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, and Sasha were speaking with the new recruits from the Garrison, guzzling drinks they were definitely not supposed to be. Erwin was holding court with fellow government officials, and four-eyes was talking to anyone they could about their Titan experiments.
Levi scoffed, drinking deeply. The bitter taste made him cringe as he continued to watch the crowd.
He scanned the room and his attention snagged on the person walking in.
Levi nearly choked on his sip as the main doors blow open on an invisible wind revealing his Lieutenant. He barely recognized her.
With her hair down and a floor length dress adorned with sparkling little jewels on the corset, Y/N swept into the room and was immediately met with dozens of eyes.
Whispers rang out upon her arrival and Levi saw his entire squad’s jaws drop. They’d never seen their superior officer like this before.
Hell, Levi had never seen her like this before.
As the only remaining survivor of the original Levi squad, they had known each other for years. Even before he made Captain rank, she had always been in his orbit.
She was every bit of his Lieutenant. Strong, steady, confident. A good soldier through and through with an attitude that could sometimes rival his. But she was also soft and kind. Always looking out for others and wanting to help. Y/N was perfect in Levi's eyes.
His face flushed at the thought.
She was absolutely stunning, standing there and greeting everyone who approached her.
Commander Erwin was the first to arrive and offer his arm, immediately snatching her away to meet with the higher-ups.
Levi made a disgusted face. “Tch."
Not only was this evening for holiday celebrations, but to receive more funding for expeditions. And Y/N was the perfect soldier for Erwin to use to get it.
He scowled at the thought. In reality, she never really enjoyed these things. She'd usually end up by his side, taking everything in quietly as he snarled at anyone who wanted to ask her to dance.
He guessed Erwin picked up on this, though, with how fast he swooped in to spirit her away to the first group of men she was currently standing with.
Levi watched closely as she laughed and said all of the right things—her smile never reaching her eyes. Some of the men watched her with a hunger that made Levi's blood boil.
As a matter of fact, the more he looked around the room, the more he noticed a lot of men were ogling.
He moved before he could think, pushing off the wall and snaking his way through the crowd.
Levi seamlessly grabbed a flute of some type of sparkling alcohol and made his way over to Y/N.
"Levi!" Erwin exclaimed, as he settled into the half-circle of people. He merely nodded at him as he pressed the bubbling drink into Y/N's hand.
She caught his eye out of the corner of hers, smiling gratefully at his intrusion.
"We were just discussing the upcoming expedition after the holidays," Erwin continued.
"It sounds like it's going to be a good one," the red-faced, pudgy man standing next to Erwin said. "But, ought to keep this one inside the walls!" He jerked his fat thumb towards Y/N.
She laughed awkwardly at the jest and stiffened.
Levi pressed in close, his arm brushing hers, eyes narrowing.
"She's one of my best soldiers. The Lieutenant goes," Levi responded flatly.
"Ah come now! If humanity is going extinct, we need to keep the strong women safe. They'd be good for making the next generation, if you know what I mean!" red-face man exclaimed, earning a chuckle from others.
Levi leveled a hard stare at him. At all of them.
None of them seemed to care, too drunk to notice, but Erwin had the brains to blanch at the sight.
Y/N was special to Levi. He was insanely overprotective—for reasons he refused to acknowledge or tell her about—and did not take lightly to disrespectful comments towards his Lieutenant.
Levi opened his mouth to say exactly what he thought of men like this one, but Y/N's glass shattered.
Everyone jumped back as she held the broken thing in her hand. Blood started to drip between her fingers.
"Ouch!" she feigned a hiss, turning towards Levi.
He caught on immediately. "Excuse us," Levi bit out and rested his hand on her lower back guiding them away.
He ushered her out of the hall and outside to the nearby well.
"You didn't have to break the glass," he said, hoisting the bucket up. She shrugged, sitting on the edge while he soaked the handkerchief he pulled out of his pocket.
Levi tapped her hand and she held it up for him to inspect.
None of the shards were embedded, so he began wiping away the blood.
"You looked like you were about the punch the guy," Y/N said.
His eyes flicked up to her face and back down. She was staring at him with that quiet intensity of hers that made him nervous. Though, he’d never admit it.
"I wasn't."
"You were. I figured Erwin didn't want a fight to break out at his party," she said with a small laugh.
"It's a stupid event," Levi said. Her hand finally stopped bleeding and he stepped back, ringing the cloth out.
Y/N didn’t say anything and hopped down.
"You look nice," she complimented after a minute.
"Tch."
A small smile toyed at her lips as she watched him. Levi's eyes darted around to avoid her gaze.
"What?" she asked playfully. "Dressed all in black. Really nailed the whole 'mysterious Captain' look."
Levi looked down at the black pants and dress shirt he wore—leaving the top few buttons popped open—and looked back up at her. "Erwin said it was formal but could also be casual. You clearly didn't catch the casual part."
She playfully rolled her eyes.
"Hange got me this," she gestured to the cream-colored gown. The little straps hanging off her shoulders slid up and down at the movement.
"Four-eyes? The one who doesn't bath regularly, got you that?" he asked incredulously.
Y/N nodded. "I was surprised too, but they claimed no one could pull it off better than me. I could've gone without the corset though," she said, yanking a bit on it.
That movement didn't go unnoticed by Levi. He could feel the tips of his ears heating up as he eyed her chest. A part of him was glad it was a corset.
Disgusting. No better than the men inside the hall, he thought.
In his defense though, he really wasn't used to seeing her like this.
A sly smile spread across Y/N's face, but she didn't say anything.
Levi scrambled for something to say. "Well...you don't look like a Titan is going to eat you."
Y/N barked out a laugh, the sound echoing off the surrounding buildings.
"Thanks, Levi," she beamed. He gave her a half-hearted jerk of his chin while he mentally slapped himself.
Some fucking compliment. Pathetic.
Y/N sighed, pulling Levi from his internal struggle.
"I guess we have to go back in there," she said, warily eyeing the building.
"We could leave," he countered.
"You know Erwin—" she started.
"Erwin knew those men were making you uncomfortable. He wouldn't say anything if we didn’t go back in."
"Yeah, but it's not like they didn't say anything before you showed up."
Levi's stomach turned.
"What else did they say?" he growled.
She waved him off. "The same old shit about how women shouldn't be in the Scouts. We're meant to wed and have babies. All the usual things."
"And before you nail Erwin's balls to Wall Rose, he shut it down quick," she said sharply as he opened his mouth.
Levi shut it, but glowered at her.
"He warned me about it anyways. But we needed the funding, so as much as I'd like to punch them in the face, I knew what I was walking into," she finished.
"You still shouldn't have to be subjected to that," Levi said bitterly.
She just shrugged. "It's fine. Their words don't mean anything. I know what I’m capable of. I'm stronger than all of them anyways."
He studied her for a moment, taking in the way her eyes were set and her were shoulders pushed back. She is stronger than them.
Levi let out a breath.
"You're right. But I still want to leave," he grumbled.
"Hange will be so disappointed they didn't get to see me in this," she gave him a small smile. "C'mon."
Without warning, Y/N grabbed his hand and tugged him back towards HQ.
However, instead of leading him to the private quarters, she bypassed the interior entirely. Y/N made a beeline for the training yards and they eventually ended up in the building where they kept most of the ODM gear.
"What are we doing?" he asked.
She rummaged around and finally found hers.
"Do you trust me?" she turned facing him and pining him with a hard stare.
"With my life." He didn't hesitate. Her face softened and she almost looked like she wanted to say something, but changed her mind.
Turning back around, she said, "Okay then get your gear."
Sighing, Levi listened to her and found it. He put it on and turned to her struggling to adjust one more strap.
"How did you even manage to get that on?"
"I told Hange that I'd wear this on one condition. Movement," she said, propping her bare leg on a crate in front of her. "You can never be too careful after that whole incident with your uncle."
Levi quickly turned away when he noticed that the dress had a slit in it that went up nearly to her hip.
He was going to kill Hange for getting her this.
Y/N caught his stiff movements, giggling a little. "It's just my leg, Levi," she teased.
He scoffed. "I know but you're never dressed like...like this," he sputtered.
She laughed again but didn't say anything.
"There," she finally huffed. Levi turned and somehow she had managed to get it all on even with the long skirts.
He still was trying to figure out how she did it as she led him across the training yard and back through the city, heading towards the wall. The moonlight reflecting off the dress and her made Y/N look ethereal.
"First one to the top wins!" she exclaimed, making him jolt.
The sounds of her gear firing filled the air as she launched off the ground.
"Y/N!" Levi snapped, taking off after her.
He landed beside her on top of Wall Rose with a grunt and watched as she sauntered over towards the edge. Y/N plopped down gracefully, staring out into the open.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" she sighed dreamily as he sat down next to her.
"It's just a bunch of land," he said.
"I know. But look how the moonlight illuminates it. I always thought the night made everything more beautiful when I was little." Y/N leaned back on her palms, but Levi found he wasn't looking at the scenery in front of them.
He was looking at her.
"I suppose it does," he said softly, greedily taking her in. She did have a point. He didn't think he'd seen anything more beautiful in this wretched world than Y/N.
They sat in a comfortable silent for a while. It was always like this when they were together. There was never a need to fill the gaps with words. The world almost seemed to stop. Slow down.
Something in Levi's chest eased as sat here with her.
"What?" she asked, catching him staring.
Levi quickly looked away feeling heat crawl up his neck.
Fucking creep, he chastised himself.
But maybe because it was of her, or maybe it was because it was just him and the moon that could hear…he steeled himself, taking a deep breath before he said softly, "You truly look beautiful tonight."
It was Y/N's turn to blush.
"Just tonight?" she lightly teased.
He nearly choked, eyes widening. "N-no. I mean—you look nice every day..."
Her laugh snapped him back to reality.
"Shut up," he grumbled.
Y/N tilted her head playfully towards him, nudging him with her shoulder. "Thanks," she murmured.
"Oh!" she chirped after a second. Levi's face was still burning, but he glanced back towards her as she moved.
"I have something for you," Y/N said, digging in the pockets of that damn dress.
He had to hand it to Hange. The thing was very effective.
"Happy early birthday," she whispered, producing a small necklace.
Y/N stared at him with a sheepish look on her face as he picked it up and examined it. The piece of jewelry had two small little charms on it: a letter K and a teapot.
Levi blinked, his chest tightening.
"I know it's not really your style, but I saw the two charms on it and I just had to get it for you," she said nervously, wringing her fingers. "I also got you some more of your favorite tea but it wouldn't fit in the pocket."
"I figured you could wear it like a bracelet or something. Just double wrap the chain. Or you could put it with that tea set on in your office," she rambled.
Levi's eyes flicked up. Y/N was starting at him, biting her lip nervously.
"It's perfect," Levi whispered. Truth be told, he forgot it was the night before his birthday. Things like that didn’t matter to him. But his heart warmed at the fact that it mattered to her.
Y/N let out a breath, her shoulders slumping in relief.
"Thank you. I almost forgot that it was tomorrow."
She snorted, looking back towards the forest. "Of course you did."
"Seriously. Thank you," he said softly, grabbing her hand. Y/N's head snapped back towards him, her gaze snagging on where he had intertwined their fingers.
He didn't pull away, somehow finding the courage to keep it there.
They were treading in dangerous waters now, but he didn't care. Not after all of their unspoken glances, not after the way he acted when it came to her. Not after this gift.
Levi found it in himself to push past his own mental barriers when he asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Y/N stared at him, wide-eyed, but nodded anyways.
He didn't know how he managed to, but Levi leaned in slowly. Y/N's face was inches from his when he paused, giving her one more chance to change her mind.
But her eyes fluttered shut and she met him the rest of the way, gently pressing her lips against his.
It was soft. Tentative as first until she melted into him.
Levi pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. His confidence grew more and more as she began making little noises.
He ran his hands down the smooth material of her dress, tugging her impossibly closer. One hand shooting up to run his fingers through her silky hair.
It was like taking a breath of fresh air. Levi couldn't get enough.
Too soon, he needed to breathe, pulling back. He didn't go far, though, resting his forehead against hers. Y/N was panting softly, a slight flush adorning her face.
Levi slowly opened his eyes to find her grinning from ear to ear. "About time, Captain," she smirked.
He scoffed without any real bite to it, a small smile appearing on his own face.
"Look, I-I don't really know how to do this," he confessed.
Y/N grabbed his hand, "It's okay."
"I really like you," he admitted, averting his eyes. He felt her scoot closer to him. Her warmth seeped through his shirt, fending off the chill of the night.
"I like you too,” she murmured.
"We've been though a lot together, and I'm just..." Levi kept going, exhaling sharply. "I'm just afraid. People I love tend to die, and if something were to ever happen to you—"
Y/N cut him off. "I know. I'm terrified. We lose comrades everyday. And you…I think I’ve liked you for a long time Levi, and I don’t want to lose you either. Though you do have a higher chance of living out of all of us, Mr. Humanity’s Strongest,” she snickered. “But I'm willing to try if you are.”
This time Levi looked at her. Really looked at her. He beheld her openness in her face. She was offering a piece of her heart to him, and he realized he had slowly offered up his throughout their time together.
He nodded, gripping her hand.
"Okay," he said. She beamed at him and rested her head on his shoulder. Levi leaned his head on top of hers, finally at ease for once.
Somewhere in the distance, a clock tower chimed signaling midnight. The world still so far away from where they were on the wall. If he could freeze time, he would’ve stopped it here.
But then Y/N hummed softly, “Happy birthday, Captain.”

Now I need something else to write about! That’s why I’ve been super quiet for the past few days lol
Levi Ackerman x Reader
Moment 4
A collection of little blurbs between Levi and Y/N 🤍
EDIT: I literally had this queued for Friday like why did this post 😂 oh well.
I had this sitting in my drafts! Long work week so I haven’t been writing. Feel free to send prompts or something! Also one of these days I’ll eventually switch up the POV lol, been thinking about trying it for a while. Ok, that’s it - happy reading!
Warnings: A little suggestive

The Scouts were making their final preparations before heading to Utgard Castle when Levi's voice cut through the noise. "Y/N."
The Lieutenant turned to face her Captain.
He tilted his head signaling for her to join him over in a more private corner. She knew what he was asking, and her lips tilted up in a smirk as she sauntered her way over to him.
“Jealous I’m going to get all of the praise and glory?” She drawled, stopping in front of Levi.
His grey eyes narrowed on her, hands instinctively moving up to double check her straps.
“Don’t start,” he warned.
“Lighten up, Levi,” Y/N let out a breath, letting her swaggering facade fall. “I’m joking. We’re in a big enough mess as is.”
“I’m glad you can actually see the situation for what it is,” he said wryly, dropping his one hand and tapping her waist. Y/N turned around silently, letting him check the buckles on the back.
“Be careful. If everything goes to shit, I’m counting on you,” Levi added as he finished his inspection. Y/N turned back around to face him, taking note of his clenched jaw and cold eyes.
“I know my orders,” she answered in a more serious tone.
Levi studied her for a moment, fingers hooking onto her belt loops. He gave her a tug, pulling her closer.
Y/N’s breath hitched.
Years spent with him and she was still adjusting to this newfound relationship. His constant need to have a hand on her at all times had come as a shock to her.
Y/N never imagined Levi of all people would show any physical affection towards his partner. Hell, she could barely comprehend the idea of him even having a partner.
Nonetheless, though, she figured it was just his way of reassuring himself that she was still alive.
“I don’t care if everyone around you dies,” he started, voice low. “You leave them, and you come back.” To me, he didn't have to add.
Though he still had his same bored look, his eyes seared with an intensity that rendered her speechless. Y/N could only nod, doing her best to convey how she understood what he was asking.
After a moment, he was satisfied with whatever he read on her face. And to her pleasant surprise, Levi kissed her.
His lips seared against hers. It was everything he couldn’t or wouldn’t say out loud that soon turned into something deeper. More intimate.
Y/N let out a surprised squeak as he backed her into the wall, his teeth biting into her lips, tongue slipping its way into her mouth. She melted into his touch and warmth. Everything was just so...Levi.
She could kiss him forever if it were possible.
But as soon as it had started, she felt him lock up, yanking on his control. Levi slowly pulled away resting his forehead on hers.
“Someone’s needy,” Y/N mused, a small smile dancing on her face.
He slowly raised his eyes to meet hers—pupils blown—and scoffed.
“Tch. I can’t keep an eye on you while you’re out there.”
She knew he was worried. She’d be too if it was the other way around. But this was what they committed to when they both opened their hearts to each other. It would always be like this as long as Titans infested their world.
They had a duty to each other, but to humanity first.
Y/N smiled softly, placing a gently kiss on his cheek. “I’ll be fine. I know my orders,” she repeated. "Protect Eren if Mikasa can't. Flee if comrades start dying. I got this—”
“Can I have the Lieutenant now? PLEASE!” Hange’s shrill voice interrupted. Levi made a sour face at the intrusion while Y/N just laughed at her friend.
“I’m coming Hange,” Y/N called. They were staring impatiently and tapping their foot.
Y/N glanced back to Levi before stepping around him. His hand caught her wrist.
“Do not engage with Reiner and Bertolt,” he snarled softly. There was fear behind his stoic face. True fear. It made her chest tighten.
“I promise I won’t. I’ll come back, Levi.”
"You'll come back," he reaffirmed.
With one last smile, Y/N headed over to Hange.
“I'll make sure she makes it back in one piece, shorty!" They called, directing the Lieutenant towards the door.
Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a lovely start to your day (if it's the morning where you're from). A few little items I just wanted to point out to you all.
Masterlists:
I've updated my Masterlist. You can find all of the work from different fandoms here: anmwrite's masterlist
With all of the Levi fics I've been writing, I went ahead and made a separate masterlist for them too! You can find them by heading to my main masterlist OR here: levi ackerman masterlist
Upcoming:
Thank you so much for the love on all of the Levi content I've been putting out. It truly means a lot. I've still got a long way to go, but this is just something I do for fun and to put my daydreams down somewhere. The fact that many of you are enjoying it as well means so much! With that said, a few things:
I've decided to put the "Sisters" series on hold for now! I'm sorry to all of those waiting for part 3. I just felt like I rushed into it and it needs more time and thought.
I don't have anything in particular for more Levi fics, so feel free to request! I had a lot of fun with the most recent ones.
I have archives of other fics from different fandoms sitting around so I could also post one of those (a few Gojo ones, some more Azriel ones, and I think a Xaden one - feel free to request those other characters you see on my main masterlist as well!)
If you made it this far, thanks for reading this! Will talk soon. Now I have to go to the real world and work :(
xoxo - anna (hehe, that's me. i wanted to stay anonymous for a while but i think everyone here deserves to know what to call me)
Okay I’m actually pretty proud of this one. I know I have a long way to go with my writing, but this has felt the best out of all of them so far!
This was requested by a wonderful anon—thank you so much, I hope you enjoy!
A few notes: Female pronouns used, feel free to change to what you prefer. Just what I prefer to use in writing; There's an age gap, but reader is still over 18 (I don't feel comfortable writing her as a teenager with his age in the manga & anime); He may not fully be written to character, but I tried my best and interpreted to how I would imagine he would act.
Warnings: mentions of bad childhood, language, sort of suggestive (one of these days I may actually write smut)

Levi Ackerman, the name that sparked fear and awe in the world, had a problem. He'd taken down Titans, dealt with gangs in the Underground, watched his comrades fall over and over again and still managed to come out on top.
So, he could not figure out why she was such a difficult obstacle.
“You’re staring again,” Hange grinned from beside him. He had somehow ended up sitting with the mad scientist at dinner, now regretting his decision to come to the mess hall.
Levi scowled at his cup of tea, ignoring the fact that they were right. Because there she was again. Sitting across the room with the rest of his squad, head tipped back as she laughed at something stupid Eren said.
“You need to get your eyes checked,” he said, flatly. Hange chuckled, paying no mind to his dig.
“You could just, y’know, go talk to her,” they suggested. Levi glanced back over to the table where Y/N sat.
Her head was turned, eyes making a sweep of the room. Noticing his gaze, she gave him a small nod before turning back to the conversation in front of her.
“Tch.”
He could feel Hange vibrating from beside him. “Seriously just go talk to her. She’s been in your squad since forever,” they pushed.
“We aren’t friends,” he replied, leveling a glare at them.
“Levi,” Hange rubbed the bridge of their nose, “That is the worst deflection ever.”
He scoffed but didn’t say anything. It was pretty pathetic on his part. Besides, they were friends.
Being the only survivor of the original Levi squad, they had been through a lot of shit together.
She was fine. Great even by Levi’s standards. She was an efficient soldier, rarely disobeyed orders, and didn’t irritate him as much as everyone else did.
Y/N was everything he could’ve asked for in a squadmate.
Except for nowadays. Something about her grated on his nerves. It was the little things. The way she’d make sure his paperwork was organized just how he liked it, how she would conveniently have two cups of tea when dropping off said paperwork, when she'd yell at the new members of the squad for not cleaning right, and so much more.
The list went on.
“You're glaring at your cup like it personally offended you,” Hange spoke again, interrupting his thoughts.
“What?”
“Wow you’re really down bad,” they sighed resting their head in their palm.
“What are you talking about now?” He grunted.
They snorted. “I’m talking about how Y/N acknowledged you and you went into a spiral about it.”
“I did not,” Levi bit out.
“Yeah you did.”
He huffed, “I was thinking about how irritating she is.”
Hange burst out in laughter, clutching their stomach.
“Oh Levi!” They cackled, “She’s the least annoying person in the Survey Corps!”
He glowered at them but they paid no mind.
“You’ve had a stick up your ass about her since that day we stumbled across that meadow on that one expedition. The one where Erwin let us take a break to enjoy the weather and scenery. What happened out there?”
As soon as Hange mentioned the most uneventful mission, Levi was transported back to that day.
It was hot and stuffy. And the sickly sweet smell of flowers made Levi's head spin. This is a waste of time, he thought to himself as the squads all dispersed, taking in this small slice of beauty they had stumbled upon.
It was a place that his mother used to describe in one of her many stories she told him when he was little.
"Isn't this great?" Y/N hummed from next to him. He hadn't even heard her approach. Levi was too busy internally complaining to notice.
He turned towards her, about to tell her that this was a waste of time when the light caught her face. He had never noticed how beautiful she was until that point.
The sun angled over her just right, highlighting her soft skin and brightening her eyes. She looked more peaceful than Levi had ever seen her which made his chest tighten.
That was the first time he felt something.
In good old Levi fashion though, that feeling that he refused to acknowledge irked him to no end much like Hange right now.
"Nothing happened," he answered quickly.
Too quickly, and enough for them to notice. A sly smile spread across their face. "She's really pretty when you get a good look at her," they said.
"Hange, she's twenty-two years old."
"Is that supposed to mean something?"
Levi opened his mouth and closed it. Did it mean something?
"No," he finally said. His ears were getting warm. "It's logical reasoning. Of course she's good looking at that age." Was it hot in here?
"So you think she's pretty?" Hange drawled with a shit-eating grin.
"I didn't say that—," he started, but was shortly cut off by their obnoxious laugh.
"Alright, I'll drop it only because I have to go run some more tests," Hange snickered, standing to leave. "But you totally do and are only irritated by her because you’re in love her!"
They rushed off with another cackle before the piece of bread that was sitting on Levi's plate had the chance to hit them in the head.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
"Y/N doesn't have to."
"Huh?" She blinked, turning to Eren. Her mind had wandered when she met her Captain's stare from across the room.
The look he had on his face was indiscernible. Still as handsome as ever though, she thought.
She managed to give him a small nod without flushing bright red. A respectful acknowledgement to her superior. But when she averted her eyes, her brain decided to wander to…less respectful and more unsavory things.
And then Eren interrupted her daydreams about the Captain by talking about cleaning the bathroom.
"I said you never have to clean the toilets," Eren explained.
"What are you talking about?" Y/N was puzzled. "I've had to clean toilets before."
Everyone at the table let out a snicker. "Maybe before you joined Levi squad," Jean teased.
“Yeah!” Connie agreed, “All you have to do is run paperwork back and forth for him and Commander Erwin!”
Collective shouts of outrage and complaints echoed around the table. Y/N looked around bewildered.
“I still clean guys,” she huffed a light laugh, “Believe me. It’s probably just because I’ve been in his squad longer. Most squads make their new recruits do the grunt work, aka cleaning the toilets. It’s good for morale.”
Y/N patted a disgruntled Eren on the back.
“But i-it’s not just the cleaning,” Arming joined in, grabbing everyone’s attention. “He doesn’t yell at you very much.”
Y/N quirked an eyebrow, confused. Were they messing with her?
“He never really yells at anyone. Just glares at you, but I mean he’s still not my biggest fan,” she spoke slowly.
“Captain Levi’s laid into me before for missing a tiny speck of dust,” Eren grumbled bitterly.
“And, not to mention, he always adjusts your gear for you!” Sasha cut in. Everyone soon followed after her.
“He makes sure your horse is taken care of—”
“You always ride to his right so he can keep an eye on you—”
“Ok! Guys! Guys!” Y/N finally stopped them. “Look I’ve been on Levi’s squad for a while. I guess some of it is true, but I don’t get special treatment from him. I’m still his subordinate, so I’m putting in the work too.”
The teenagers glanced at each other and gave her a ‘is she serious right now’ look.
“That is the special treatment,” Mikasa finally spoke, calmly. No judgement hid behind her eyes like everyone else.
Y/N felt her face get hot.
There was absolutely no way. This was just how Levi’s always been with her. He’d made her clean rooms until her hands bled. He’d run her into the ground in drills. There was absolutely no special treatment from him.
She was just another one of his soldiers. The only one to survive from the old squad. Yeah, they shared some unspoken connection with everything that had happened, but with Captain Levi, that didn’t make her special.
At least she didn’t think so.
She was just trying to not make a fool of herself in front of the man and survive.
“Are you really that blind?” Jean asked before Y/N could get a word out. “It’s obvious you’re his favorite.”
She shook her head. “He doesn’t do favorites.”
“Look,” Armin started with a sympathetic smile, “All we’re saying is that he’s different when it comes to you. It’s almost imperceptible, but we’ve been around the both of you long enough to notice.”
Y/N opened her mouth and closed it. She didn’t really know what to say.
“I don’t know why she continues to deny it,” Jean muttered under his breath to Connie. “It’s clear she likes him too.”
Y/N’s head whipped over to him from across the table. She narrowed her eyes.
“I don’t,” she bit out. The teenager gulped nervously.
Y/N was considerably nicer than Levi, but there was a reason she was in the Special Operations Squad. Jean threw his hands up in the air and quickly changed the subject.
Everyone gave her one last look before finally dropping it too.
He wasn’t wrong though, but Y/N wasn’t going to admit that to anyone.
She had always admired the Captain for his strength and unwavering loyalty. Sure, he was one of the least emotional people Y/N knew, but deep down he cared.
Levi was kind in his own way, and she appreciated that. Not to mention, he was extremely handsome.
However, Y/N knew her affections—or tinsy crush—on him would never come of anything. That was that. End of story.
But the longer she thought about it, it didn’t feel like it anymore.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Levi decided this was the end of the world. Not the Titans, not a plague, but Hange and their never ending stream of consciousness.
He was in his office attempting to do paperwork the following day, when they barged in going on about Eren’s abilities. He didn’t have an issue blocking out their rambling, throwing in an occasional ‘mhm’ when he thought appropriate.
But, he froze when he caught ‘Y/N’ at the tail end of their last sentence.
“What?”
Hange stopped and blinked. “I just ask if you’ve seen Y/N around today.”
Levi slowly lifted his gaze from the report in front of him. “No.”
They snorted.
He narrowed his eyes at them. “What does she have to do with the experiments you’re running on Eren?” He asked, carefully.
“She doesn’t. I saw her earlier and she couldn’t seem to shut up about you.”
Levi went utterly still.
“What was the brat on about now?”
Hange grinned. “Oh nothing. Just that the entire Levi squad was on her ass last night about getting special treatment from you.”
He rolled his eyes, resuming his task at hand. “I don’t give her special treatment,” he muttered. “Next time you say something like that, four-eyes, it better be important.”
“I’m just trying to help you out, Levi,” they sighed dramatically.
“Help me with what?”
“Your obvious crush on our dear, sweet Y/N,” they stated.
“I do not—” he started but they waved him off. “Don’t bother. You basically admitted it last night. She likes you too by the way.”
Levi’s hand stilled, ink dripping onto the paper from the quill he was holding. No. He chastised himself, mind already starting to spin.
“She doesn’t,” was all he said. Hange was quiet for a moment, studying him.
“That gives you hope doesn’t it?” They finally asked.
He looked up with alarm. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The scientist gave him a sympathetic look. “You two have been through a lot together. It would make sense you know.”
Would it?
He had given up on the idea of attachment, romance, everything that resulted in caring for someone. Because to him, he was cursed. Everyone he loved had died.
“I can see you arguing with yourself,” Hange interrupted his train of thought. “Look I know you’ve been dealt some shitty cards. And you’re scared. But we don’t really have a guarantee for a tomorrow. I mean maybe you do, but it’s still not a hundred percent.”
Levi glanced away. They had a point.
“But think of it this way. She’s already proven herself capable. Hell, she rivals you in strength sometimes. Y/N’s odds are high. What’s the point in fighting everyday just to be miserable? You’re allowed to enjoy life even when it’s this shitty,” Hange concluded.
He didn’t respond as they stood up. With one last glance of their shoulder, Hange said, “Just spend more time with her. She’s just as scared as you are.”
The door shut quietly behind them, leaving Levi contemplating everything.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
"Mikasa, Armin, Eren, Jean, Connie, and Sasha, you all are on stable duty tonight,” Levi ordered after drills. “Jean and Eren, since you two decided to pick a fight during training, you all get to clean the toilets after.”
He glared at the young boys, ignoring the pointed stare from Y/N.
They both grumbled, but didn’t argue as they shuffled out. Before they were out of earshot, however, Levi heard Eren complain under his breath, “See. She doesn’t have to do anything again.”
“Wait,” Levi growled, narrowing his eyes on him. The boy turned around realizing his mistake.
“I want you running until the sun comes up Jaeger. You don’t speak about your veterans like that.”
“Captain—” Y/N’s sweet voice cut through the air. He shot her a look silently ordering her to stay out of it.
The others were gaping at the scene. Levi had never openly defended her like this.
Y/N was just as surprised.
“Y-yessir,” Eren stuttered.
Jean snickered ultimately earning himself the same fate. “Dismissed,” Levi snapped, and all of the teenagers bolted.
“You didn’t need to do that you know,” Y/N started before he could walk off. It wasn’t like he actually intended for it come out like that.
In all honesty, he didn’t even know where that came from. It was instinctive. An automatic reaction that came out when he heard the brat complaining about someone who had been in the Scouts longer than him.
Barely. He reminded himself. She’s twenty-two years old.
Levi’s face felt warm as he turned to her. Y/N was standing there with a hand on her hip. Brows furrowed in slight irritation.
“He was being disrespectful,” he argued.
“No. He was being a kid. And he kind of has a point,” she said.
Levi’s stomach dropped.
“I thought they were fucking with me when they originally brought it up, but the more I think about it, they’re right.” She pinned him with a hard stare he rarely ever saw unless she was on a battlefield.
“Did Hange say something to you?” Y/N asked when he didn’t reply.
His eyes barely flashed in shock. Y/N watched him closely noting the smallest change in demeanor.
“They might’ve mentioned it,” Levi said through his teeth, trying and failing to get a hold of his control. Y/N rarely ever challenged him like this. And it was a refreshing sight. She still had that spark. One that told him she was alive and fighting.
Rolling her eyes, she scoffed muttering mostly to herself. “Fucking loud mouth.”
Levi blinked at her change in attitude.
“Look,” she caught his gaze again. “I don’t need special treatment. You’re my superior officer. You can make me do whatever you want me to. Exactly like them. I’ll help them clean the stables, toilets, whatever. Just because I lived—which was a massive fluke—doesn’t mean I should be treated any differently than the new squad. I wasn’t even supposed to be with you when the female Titan escaped.”
“So stop treating me like I’m some fragile doll. I’m a soldier. Your solider—”
“You don’t think you were with me for a reason?” Levi interrupted angrily. Something came over him. It was like a tea kettle exploding from the pressure.
He was sick of this. Sick of feeling like this, hearing it from Hange, watching Y/N go about her life like she wasn’t the most precious thing to him.
Y/N froze, staring at him.
“There were risks,” he ground out, “There were risks with that mission and leaving the squad to carry out Erwin’s plan. And yeah, maybe I didn’t want you where I couldn’t see you.”
Levi’s deepest thoughts began pouring out of him.
“Because maybe I couldn’t fathom the thought of losing you. So I was selfish and took you with me that day. Maybe I couldn’t get you out of my head since the day you looked happy in that stupid field Erwin found.”
Levi was breathing heavily. The floodgates had opened and there was no stopping the words tumbling out of his mouth.
“You are one of my soldiers. But you’re the only one I cannot lose. So yeah, maybe I treat you better than the others because you deserve it. When you came to the Scouts you were broken by your family. You told me that. But that day…that day you finally looked at peace. And that did something to me,” he continued, shoving his hand towards his chest.
“Something I don’t take lightly because everyone I’ve ever loved died.”
He ran a hand through his hair, looking down at the ground and back up to her.
“And I hate that. You’re my subordinate. But I can’t get you out of my head,” Levi finally finished.
Y/N’s eyes were watery as she beheld the man in front of her. On one hand, she was surprised with his little outburst. Maybe she was completely blind like the others mentioned.
But on another…that was one of the kindest things anyone had ever said to her.
She never thought that Levi would notice her. He was right. When she first came to the Scouts she had nothing. No one. Her parents never really acknowledged her existence, and ‘friend’ had been a foreign word to her.
But the man in front of her saw her.
Levi cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck with stiff movements. He was moving in such an awkward manner that reminded Y/N that Humanity’s Strongest soldier was still a human too.
“Cap—” she started, voice cracking.
“You don’t have to say anything,” he mumbled, averting his eyes. “That was inappropriate of me.”
Y/N let out a strangled laugh. “I was going to stay that I really appreciated your words.”
She took a small step towards him. “And that you are the only person who’s ever seen me.”
Another step. Levi didn’t think he was breathing as she entered his space. Y/N hesitated, giving him the opportunity to walk away. She could see the fight in his eyes.
“I’ve always admired you,” she whispered. “But not just because you’re the strongest. You’re kind and caring. Even when you want to be difficult about it.”
“Tch.”
“I know it’s wrong, and I don’t know when it happened for me, but I feel the same way.” Y/N’s fingers brushed against his, but went no further.
He had to decide if this was something he really wanted.
Levi’s eyes widened at her confession, the tips of his ears turning red. He grabbed her hand anyways, tangling their fingers together.
“You need better taste in men,” he breathed, their faces somehow closer. She let out a small giggle. “No I don’t.”
In a blink, Levi pressed his lips onto hers. It was shy at first until he felt her relax. His hands instantly finding her waist and pulling her flush against him.
Levi deepened the kiss, gently tugging on her bottom lip earning a small gasp from Y/N. Pure male smugness washed over him, and she felt a hint of a smirk ghost across his mouth.
“We really shouldn’t be doing this,” he muttered, pausing for a breath of air, before crashing his lips back onto hers. “You’re the superior officer. Tell me to stop,” she teased.
Levi pulled away with a scowl. “Don’t say shit like that.” Y/N only giggled more, yanking him back in for more. He melted into it. He just couldn’t help himself.
“LEVIIIIIII!” Hange’s voice split through the air.
Like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on them, Y/N jumped away from him. His head snapped over his shoulder. They weren’t in sight yet, but he could hear them approaching.
Levi turned back to Y/N, slight panic on his face.
“It’s okay,” she said quietly, brushing her thumb across his lips to remove the evidence of her lip balm. “We take this as slow as you want.”
Levi’s eyes softened. “I should be the one saying that to you,” he replied, shaking himself off just as Hange rounded the corner.
They slowed upon seeing the pair trying and failing to hide the small smile creeping its way onto both of their faces as they looked at each other.
Hange smirked but decided to spare them for today at least.
“I’m still processing it too,” Y/N admitted, saluting her approaching Section Commander. They just waved her off.
“But it’ll be alright.”
Levi only nodded in agreement letting his face settle back into its usual bored look.
“What do you want?” He turned to Hange.
“The meeting started like ten minutes ago. I volunteered to come find you,” they said. Levi cleared his throat, finally remembering why he needed to end drills this early.
“Right. I’m coming.”
Hange grinned and turned on their heel. Almost as if they were giving them a moment to say bye.
“Come by my office later,” Levi murmured, turning back to Y/N and tucking a loose lock of hair behind her ear. Her face burned, but she nodded nonetheless.
“Yes, Captain,” she blinked at him with innocent eyes burning with something more. It sent a shiver down his spine. And just because he couldn’t help it, Levi leaned in placing a featherlight kiss to her lips.
“This stays between us for now,” he whispered, pulling away.
Y/N nodded, smiling. “Our secret.”

i’m not sure I’m happy with this ending…like obviously they’re gonna be together but it just feels like a week ending with y/n being like “our secret”. may or may not change, but i hope you enjoyed nonetheless!
I'm almost done with the requested Levi fic!! Literally been writing all day but now I'm having issues ending it and second guessing myself....ughhhh. Send help.
Lowkey debating changing the POV, but like a majority of it is written
Also it was a busy & stressful work week, so that's why I'm not finished with it.
I have so many ideas I want to write about for this man that it’s honestly overwhelming. But this was inspired by the iconic Levi vs Kenny fight that I watched last night. Literally wrote this so fast. It’s short, but I still hope you enjoy. More notes at the end about what’s upcoming.
Warnings: Blood, violence, language, a little suggestive - Levi may stray a little out of his normal character but I tried to make it work for this
Disclaimer: I do not own the photo below.
A whizzing sound shot past Levi’s ear. In a split second, he caught the flash of metal before it embedded itself in his chaser’s head.
“Levi!” A familiar voice cut through the air.
Glancing back over his shoulder, he saw his Lieutenant following closely with a feral gleam in her eyes.
Instant relief hit him for a brief second before refocusing on the task at hand.
“Cover them,” he ordered when she caught up, gesturing to the wagon below.
She nodded. However, something caught her eye. Looking above them, she noticed another soldier rapidly approaching.
His—slightly insane—Lieutenant gave him a wicked smiled as she changed course, pulling out one of her many hidden daggers.
“Y/N,” he snapped.
She simply ignored him, vaulting herself higher in a move he taught her. Blood splattered above him just moments later, followed by the dying screams of the man she had just eliminated.
“That’s six kills for me,” she grinned, leveling back out next to him.
“Now’s not the time,” he snarled. Y/N rolled her eyes, but pulled back to cover him.
At this point, we may actually make it out with Eren and Historia, he thought.
He spoke too soon.
A shot rang out from behind as he heard Y/N call his name. Levi jerked, looking back to see her let out a strangled cry, clutching her side.
“Shit!” He cursed upon seeing more enemies approaching, and turned back to warn Armin and Jean. It was a lost cause.
Shouting at them, he dove for the wagon to get them out.
Another shot fired, nearly hitting Mikasa, as they watched the wagon amble out of the city. He landed hastily with a frustrated grunt.
Before he had the chance to see Y/N hit the ground, movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Damn brat, he thought, lunging for Mikasa.
“Let them go! We’re running on fumes!” He shouted, digging his heels in to prevent her from chasing after them. She struggled, crying out to Eren and finally relenting.
When she relaxed, he let Mikasa go, turning his attention to the rest of the squad. His stomach dropped at the sight of his Lieutenant laying on the ground, hand pressed firmly on her side.
“Y/N!” He hurriedly made his way over to her, panic fighting its way up his lungs.
“Back to the warehouse, now,” he barked, reaching her and stooping down to help her up. A collective “Sir” rang out and everyone moved.
“I’m fine,” Y/N gasp, clutching onto him as he wrapped an arm around her waist, careful to avoid the gunshot wound. “It’s just a graze.”
“We’ll discuss it later,” he growled, following after the others.
∘ ∘ ∘ ∘ ∘
Back in the warehouse, Levi had set Y/N down, propping her up against a pile of crates. Sweat coated her forehead and slid down her neck, drenching the flimsy piece of material she called a shirt.
Her arms were more cut up than he originally noticed, and the straps from her gear left marks from where she insisted a tank top was more comfortable.
“I’m fine,” she repeated again. Levi just rolled his eyes, moving to lift her shirt.
“She says as she’s writhing in pain,” he narrated sarcastically, examining the wound.
Y/N snorted.
“It’s just a graze—” Levi started.
“I told you that already.”
“But it’ll hurt like hell,” he finished, ignoring her. Turning to where the others were waiting, he ordered Sasha to retrieve bandages.
She hustled over to them, concern written on her face. Y/N mustered up a grin.
“Better me than you, kid—ugh!” She sucked in a sharp breath when Levi carefully touched the shredded skin. Sasha had a sickly look on her face as he dismissed her.
Levi worked quickly, wrapping her side and trying to ignore how close her breasts were to his face in this stupid tank top. Get it together. He shook himself off and refocused on patching her up.
When he finally tied off the bandage, Y/N let out a pained wheeze.
“Better?” He asked, sitting back on his heels. She nodded tight lipped, but her breathing slowly evened out.
“Who were they?” She asked. Levi handed her some water Connie had brought over.
“Kenny,” he said, sharply. She knew what that meant. Her eyes softened and she slid her hand towards his.
Y/N’s fingers gently brushed his and he didn’t pull away. Letting out a breath, Levi finally let himself come down from the adrenaline rush.
“What happened?” He asked, wanting to change the subject.
Y/N shrugged. “I followed your orders and was waiting at the city entrance. They came out of nowhere and ambushed me. I would’ve been killed if the idiots hadn’t dropped their ammunition. Stealth was not their forte.”
Levi’s mouth tightened, anger surging inside of him. How dare they attack what was his.
“Levi,” Y/N spoke softly, resting her hand on his arm now. “I’m alive.”
He glanced up, soaking in every detail of her face. Her kind eyes and sympathetic smile, the pulse he could see thrumming in her throat. She’s here. Alive. He chanted to himself until he finally calmed down.
Her hand then came up to rest against his cheek.
“Not in front—”
“They aren’t paying attention,” she said quietly. Levi studied her for a moment, leaning into her touch.
“Come on. We need to figure out what to do next. Get out of the city,” she whispered.
“Wait,” he stopped her from attempting to sit up, “Don’t do that again,” he pleaded softly.
“Levi—”
“I’m serious Y/N. You don’t take bullets for me.”
She let out a breathy laugh. “You take care of humanity all the time, but I’m supposed to take care of you.” Raw emotion was laid bare in her face.
Levi’s throat closed up. He hadn’t had this since his mother died. Sure, he loved Isabel and Furlan like siblings and was devastated by their loss, but…he was always the one taking care of them.
“No you’re—”
Y/N shook her head cutting him off. “Don’t. I’m here. Humanity has let me down too many times, but you haven’t. So I’m here for you,” she said.
Levi didn’t respond, a fleet of emotions hitting him at once. He gave her a skeptical look, eventually relenting. “I trust you. But I can’t lose you.”
“I know,” she tilted her head—looking at him with misty eyes full of love—and brushed some of his hair out of the drying blood on his eye. “I got you.”
Levi sighed, grabbing her chin. He leaned in placing a soft kiss on her lips. Y/N responded in kind, relaxing into his touch. Sucking on his bottom lip, he nearly groaned. If it were up to him he would’ve taken her right here if he could’ve.
As if she read where his mind wandered off too, though, she pulled back with a broad smile gracing her features.
“I love you,” she smirked.
His face heated and he averted his gaze, warmth filling his chest. “Tch. Love you too, brat. Just don’t do that to me again.”
Her laugh settled deep into his bones.
“I won’t, Levi. I won’t.”

a/n continued: the longer levi fic that was requested is almost finished up. then I’ll move into edits. hoping to have it done this weekend to be posted at the start of next week!
Hi friends! I’m rewatching AOT right now, so I just wanted to put it out there that if anyone has any Levi prompts I’d be happy to take them. Preferably canon compliant.
Maybe some stuff that could go in the Little Moments collection. I have a lot of ideas that are unfinished, so that gets overwhelming for me lol. Plus I’m still fine tuning the last part of Sisters which will probably take me a hot minute lol.
I want to make it abundantly clear, though:
No promises on getting ALL requests finished! I’m so sorry, but I do let requests get backed up if I get a lot. Super bad habit of mine, but if I get a spark I may be able to just super slow and on my own time.
Don’t let that deter you though - happy requesting!
Hi everyone! I’m alive! I’m so sorry for disappearing. I was in a bad headspace last month, and then I had a vacation planned. I figured it would be easier to just hold off on writing until I got home. I’m going to try to get back to it, but no promises I won’t disappear for a while again 😭
Anyways, this was something I had sitting around in my archive, so I wanted to post it since I haven’t been writing. Just fyi I really have no idea what’s going on with the plot here 😂 I just wanted cute interactions or something idk lol. Also please note:
I am an amateur writer so every time I write I try some new things out based on what I’ve seen reading other people’s work or just books in general. There are EM dashes in this one, but I want to make it very clear that I DO NOT feed my work, add prompts, etc. to AI. I honestly hate it. They’ve been pushing AI on me since it started gaining popularity when I was in school, and I’ve never really felt comfortable with it since then. I know EM dashes are like a thing people are saying are big indicators of it, so that is why I’m being upfront about it. I want to improve as a writer with my own thoughts, so I’ll try out new styles, change up how I write my sentences, etc. I absolutely do not condone AI, and I also do not allow others feeding my work into AI as well.
Warnings: Blood, injuries, language
Disclaimer: I do not own the photo below! All rights go to owner.
“You’re bleeding.”
Amidst her attempts to staunch the blood leaking out of her side and keeping herself upright, Y/N narrowed her eyes at the surly Captain in front of her.
“Well, I was just flung into a bunch of trees by a damn Titan so I don’t know what you’d expect.” she hissed, turning her attention back to her makeshift bandage.
Her tattered cloak clung to the wound as she peeled it back to survey the damage. Blood continued to ooze out, and Y/N cringed at the sight.
“Tch,” she heard Levi scoff. She glanced back up to find him peering over the edge of the giant branch they were currently camped on. Well, more like stranded on.
A hoard of Titans chased them up into the trees and refused to leave. They were gathered below, staring up at them with their dead eyes and creepy smiles.
“The sun is going down, we need to leave,” Levi said. Y/N halted her movements, glaring at the back of his head.
“Thanks for your concern. I’m perfectly fine. No need to worry about me. It’s not like I’m your Lieutenant or anything. Bleeding. To. Death,” she replied sarcastically.
His grey eyes flicked over to her. “Are you bleeding to death?”
Y/N rolled her eyes and resumed dabbing at the wound, ignoring him.
“It looks like it’s about to rain,” she observed, giving up on her side and squinting up at the darkening clouds. “We’ll never make it back to camp stumbling around in the dark and a torrential downpour.”
When Levi didn’t respond, Y/N sighed and slid down the tree trunk. Exhaustion weighed heavy on her. Between the expedition they had been on for the past three days and the fresh wound, she was tired and didn’t have the energy to deal with Levi being…Levi.
However, her rustling finally gained Levi’s attention. He turned, brows flicking up in surprise, to see her crumpled form propped up against the tree.
Eying the Titans below one more time, he let out a huff before stalking back over to her.
“Can you even use your gear?” He asked, crouching down in front of her. Levi noted her pallid complexion—a sickly sweat glistening on her forehead—and frowned. Maybe she was bleeding out.
But in true Y/N form, she mustered the best swaggering look and nodded.
“Liar.” He raised his hand and brushed a few sweaty strays of hair out of her eyes. Y/N’s heart skipped a beat at the gentle gesture.
Forcing Levi Ackerman to be her friend had its perks, she supposed.
He was different with her when no one was around—lingering glances that made her stomach flip, a brush of his hand against hers when she returned from a mission without him. All things no one else was privy to with the closed-off Captain.
He trusted her.
“You look like shit,” Levi stated, pulling his hand back.
“I’ve had worse,” she replied, trying to hide the whimper rising in her throat at the loss of contact. His cool hand felt like a reprieve from her burning skin. The pain was relentless.
He just shook his head, looking around at the dying sun and the dark clouds looming overhead.
“You’re right. It is going to rain. And we’re too far away from camp to make it back before it hits. I think we’re near an abandoned village. We should head there for the night,” he said.
“Okay,” Y/N agreed, pushing herself up.
She swayed on her feet, the movement pulling on her shredded side. Levi’s eyes flared and before she knew it, he had her arm draped around his shoulder and his other arm wrapped around her waist.
“I’m fine,” Y/N insisted.
“Tch…hold on.”
With one hand, he released the trigger on his gear and they were soon flying through the forest. How he managed to hold on to her while using his ODM gear, Y/N had no idea. But she really didn’t care. All she wanted to do was sleep.
“Stay awake,” Levi ordered. Y/N’s eyes wandered to his side profile. He was watching what was ahead of him, but his jaw was clenched. She could tell he was brooding more than usual.
“You’re worried about me,” she smiled faintly.
“The fact that you’re able to annoy me right now means I’m not.”
“You are.”
He shot her a look, hesitating for a second. “It would be mildly inconvenient if you died.”
Y/N let out a pained wheeze that barely resembled a laugh. “So you do like me!”
“I like when you take things seriously. Stop wasting your energy bothering me,” he clicked his tongue. Without the usual bite though, Y/N just smirked and decided it would be more fun to push his buttons per usual.
“Ugh Levi,” she moaned dramatically, “everytime we make progress we always take a step backwards. I thought we were friends.”
Y/N felt his hand squeeze her side a little tighter. “Ouch! Watch the wound. Bleeding to death remember?” She yelped.
“That’s what you get for being annoying. And besides,” he paused, “You’re not just a friend.”
Y/N blinked. She didn’t have a response to that.
“Don’t think too much about it,” Levi muttered as if he read her mind. “We’re almost there.”
Soon enough, wooden roofs of the abandoned village came into view.
Levi got them down as gently as he could, and the pair surveyed the quiet little town before hobbling to the nearest home.
They collapsed in a heap in the corner of the main living space. Y/N clenched her teeth and groaned at the shift in gravity. Her side felt like it was on fire as she awkwardly sprawled on the floor. Levi watched her warily.
“It’s not that deep,” she bit out, taking deep breaths.
He moved in front of her and peeled the bloodied cloth off her side. Upon seeing her injury, Levi let out an exasperated noise. “‘It’s not that deep’ my ass.”
She just gave him a half smile, blinking rapidly.
“Sit up,” he directed, pulling actual bandages from the small pack he grabbed when Erwin had sent them ahead. Y/N whimpered, but followed his orders.
Levi gently lifted her shirt up and began wrapping her abdomen. He tightened the bandages—which was an instant relief—and tied them off.
“There. That should hold your guts in until we get you back.”
She rolled her eyes at his fussing and slouched back down against the wall.
Levi stood and began shuffling around the small space as the first sound of raindrops hit the roof. Y/N listened faintly, closing her eyes.
A few moments later, a thud caused them to shoot open as Levi sat back down next to her. He had found a metal bucket and threw supplies for a fire in it.
“I don’t want to be seen in case there’s an abnormal around here,” he explained.
Y/N just nodded stiffly as she watched the fire jump to life.
She then shifted, trying to find some sort of comfort on the floor. Each little movement shot a zap of pain through her.
After her fifth attempt, Levi huffed and grabbed her waist. Y/N froze as his slender fingers worked quickly to undo the straps of her gear.
When he unbuckled everything, he hauled her in between his legs.
“What are you doing?” She asked, wide-eyed.
“You keep wiggling around pretending like you’re not in pain,” Levi shrugged, continuing to position her and himself more comfortably.
She blinked, but didn’t question it, resting her head against his chest. The Captain is very warm, she thought, finally able to close her eyes.
“You’re really cozy,” she sighed happily. Y/N felt him glance down at her with a scowl.
“Stop making jokes.”
“I’m not joking. I like you, and you’re cozy,” she put it plainly.
Levi tensed underneath her. “Maybe I love you,” she continued. “I don’t know, but you also like me.”
He paused, caught off guard by her bold statement. “You need to have better taste. I barely tolerate you,” he quipped.
“No. You don’t,” Y/N stated tilting her head up to look at him. His arms locked around her, chest puffing up in an attempt to stop her. “You like me,” she pushed. “You’re just too afraid to admit it.”
“You’re delusional.”
“No. I’m half dead and I want to talk about this right now.”
“You’re not half dead—” Levi started but was cut off.
“That’s not the point. Point is we’re stuck here in this decrepit house cuddling. You can throw every excuse you have at it, but that’s the truth. You wouldn’t do this for another Comrade.”
“I would—” he interjected. Y/N let out a delirious laugh.
“No, Levi, you wouldn’t. We’ve known each other forever now. You’re my best friend. You act different around me and I think it’s because you like me too.”
Levi didn’t say anything. She could practically hear him internally panicking.
“We’re friends like you said. Why wouldn’t I like you?” He cleared his throat, shifting underneath her and trying a new angle to this conversation.
“Nope. You said earlier I’m not just a friend,” Y/N smiled triumphantly. “But it’s fine. We don’t have to go into the rest of it now. Just leave it as I like you and you like me. More than friend.”
With that, she snuggled deeper into his chest and closed her eyes. The Captain remained frozen, face flushed at her sudden outburst. He was not expecting that. But if she wasn’t going to push him to talk about it, at least for now, he wasn’t going to say anything.
Levi shook his head and let out a breath, his mouth quirking up ever so slightly when he glanced back down at her. Y/N sure was something special. He had to hand it to her. He’d never met anyone with the balls to talk to him the way she does.
He guessed that’s why he had always felt differently when it came to his Lieutenant. And it also helped that she fit unbelievably well in his arms right now.
A shiver racked through Y/N’s body as a rain-kissed breeze blew into the space through one of the shattered windows. Levi noticed immediately and grabbed his cloak he had placed next to them, draping it over her.
“See. You like me,” she mumbled when she felt the fabric cover her body.
“Like I said. I tolerate you,” he snipped, although she felt his chin rest on her head, his arms tightening around her frame.
She just snickered, her body slowly tugging her towards sweet darkness. “Okay, Levi,” she whispered, “Whatever helps you sleep at night.”
He scoffed but didn’t say anything.
And when he thought she was asleep, he gave her a small kiss on the head and mumbled, “You better not tell anyone about this, brat. Maybe I do like you too.”
Hi everyone! Sorry I disappeared for a while. I was in a really bad headspace and then went on vacation. I’m finally starting to feel normal and better again, so I’m going to do my best to pick up where I left off.
I have another draft for a Levi fic sitting around, so I need to make a few edits and then I’ll post it. I promise I’ll get back to writing the next part of Sisters soon too!
Hey everyone - firstly, thank you for all the love on my most recent Levi fic! I really appreciate it🤍
Sorry I’ve been MIA! Life just kind of sucks right now, so I’ve been trying my best. I’ve had no motivation to do anything.
I'll try and post something soon. I've had another idea floating around for a small little Levi fic. I'm also in the middle of rereading Fourth Wing again, so I may finally finish one of those requests.
Hi guys! Sorry it's been a while. I've been so burnt out and unmotivated recently. I’ve been trying taking some time to try to get out of my slump. This is another one of the random ideas that has been sitting in my drafts, so I wanted to share - again, not my best work but fanfiction makes me so happy. I also don't think I'm considering it a part of my Little Moments collection. Please enjoy this standalone!

For once - in what felt like months - the newest members of the Levi squad had the day off.
The group of teenagers were gathered around a table in the mess hall, idly chattering amongst themselves and enjoying their free time. As for Eren and Jean…their small talk had turned into one of their ridiculous arguments. This time being over who would end up with a girlfriend before the other.
“As if horseface here would get one before me!” Eren sneered.
“Oh please!” Jean started, “Who’d want to go out with you?”
A few eyes trailed over to Mikasa, who was simply minding her business and eating her lunch. Her face reddened, but she pointedly ignored the looks.
“No one would date you of all people,” Jean continued.
“Hey!” Eren shouted, slamming his hands on the table and standing. Armin yanked him back down.
“Why am I always in the middle of these two,” Armin groaned earning sympathetic looks from Mikasa and Historia. The latter gave him a pat on the hand before turning her attention on Eren and Jean.
“Neither of you will end up with girlfriends if you keep shouting like toddlers!” Historia snapped. Her comment went ignored.
While most of the recruits were used to hearing the pair argue over stupid things, they had started attracting the attention of the higher ranking officers in the room.
Hange and Moblit sauntered up when Jean exclaimed, “I bet even Lieutenant Y/N wouldn’t go out with you!” It was a known fact that Eren, and many other of the young boys sitting at the table, had a small crush on Lieutenant Y/N.
She was arguably one of the kindest and most beautiful people in the Scouts. Everyone worshipped the ground she walked on, wanting nothing more than to be on the receiving end of her praise. Y/N cared deeply for everyone and extended all the help she could to keep her comrades alive.
But you couldn’t count out her skills as a Scout. There was a reason she was Levi’s Lieutenant. Her abilities nearly rivaled Humanity’s Strongest himself.
“Please! Like she would ever be interested in you either,” Eren retorted. Jean’s face contorted in anger, but before they could start again, Hange clapped Eren on the back.
The boy jolted, and everyone at the table had guilty looks on their faces for speaking about their superior so casually.
“I heard my best friend’s name!” They chirped. “What are you kiddos on about now?”
The table shared a sheepish look.
“W-well, Eren and Jean were just arguing about which one of them would get a girlfriend first,” Armin explained.
“Oh, ho, ho!” Hange squealed with delight, earning a defeated sigh from her assistant. “And you think my lovely Y/N would go for you children?”
“I told you!” Jean squawked. “Even Section Commander Hange doesn’t think she’d go out with you!” He waggled a finger in Eren’s face. The latter batted his hand away with a sour look on his face.
“She wouldn’t go out with you either,” Hange said, before the two could start another round. “You’re both teenagers, for one.”
Jean’s jaw dropped, betrayal filling his eyes. Eren and Connie snickered.
“A matter of fact, none of you are her type,” Hange added.
“Neither are you, Moblit,” they stuck a finger out behind them in his face, silencing him. The older boy just blushed. In all honesty, most of the Survey Corps had a thing for her.
“So what’s her type then?” Connie asked.
Hange thought about it for a minute, and tilted their head. “I honestly don’t know.”
“Isn’t she your best friend?” Sasha asked, mid-bite.
“Yeah,” Historia chimed in, “Don’t best friends normally talk about this type of stuff with each other?”
“We don’t normally discuss our love lives. Well, she doesn’t at least,” the older Scout shrugged.
“She’s pretty secretive about it. I mean she could’ve told Levi. They’re pretty close, and he’s good at keeping his mouth shut,” Hange rambled.
An idea popped into their head.
“Maybe Levi knows!” The scientist hopped up from their seat, as though none of them had just heard them theorizing about it.
The group looked around in confusion. “Why would the Captain know?” Mikasa asked. “He’s more private than she is.”
Hange ignored her, and declared, “We’re going on a field trip kids!” before tearing out of the mess hall, trailed by Moblit.
They looked around at each other, shrugged, and then shuffled out after them.
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Armin muttered to Eren, as they rounded the hall to the private quarters.
“Please,” Jean cut in, “He’s probably just doing paperwork. Man never takes a day off.”
When they arrived in front of his office door, everything happened in slow motion.
Without knocking, Hange burst into the office followed by everyone shoving their way inside at the same time.
“Leviiiiiiiiii—” Hange started, before their jaw - and everyone else’s - dropped to the floor.
Y/N was propped up on the desk with her top pulled down dangerously low, revealing the tops of her breasts. Levi’s mouth hovered over her collarbone.
The pair, in a very compromising position, froze.
Levi’s eyes widened just a fraction, anger slowly beginning to simmer beneath his stormy grey irises. Y/N’s face flushed a deep scarlet.
In an attempt to shield her body from their view, Levi tried to shove her behind him, but resulted in pushing her off the desk and onto the floor by accident. Y/N let out a quiet oomph and tugged her shirt back up, averting her eyes from the gawking crowd.
In a split second, the awkward silence was broken by everyone stammering over one another.
Armin and Moblit blushed furiously, both stuttering hurried “sorry’s” and trying to leave the room.
Mikasa, Historia, and Sasha blinked and scrambled out. Hange’s eyes were still bulging out of their head. And Jean, Eren, and Connie stood there gaping, wide eyes bouncing back and forth between Levi and Y/N. They had never seen that much skin on her before.
“Get. Out,” Levi growled.
Hange continued to gape for a heartbeat before springing into action, ushering the three boys back through the door.
“Question answered!” The scientist laughed nervously, shoving them harder. “We’ll be discussing this new development later!” They threw over their shoulder at Y/N before promptly slamming the door shut.
Levi and Y/N sat there in bewilderment for a split second. The Lieutenant huffed out a laugh.
“You didn’t have to shove me off the desk,” she sighed, running a hand through her hair and standing up.
Levi was still glaring at the door.
“It’s fine. They were bound to find out eventually,” Y/N shrugged, moving to sit on the little couch.
“Those damn brats. The one day off.”
“I’m sorry I pushed you on the floor,” Levi added, finally crossing the space to sit next to her. “It’s okay,” she beamed at him, resting a hand on his cheek. Y/N leaned in again, and soon enough the whole ordeal was forgotten.
In the hall, Eren, Jean, and Connie were still staring at the door.
Armin just sighed and looked to Hange who also still didn’t seem to know what to do, “I told you this was a bad idea.”
