levi grunted in frustration, still trying to settle his tie, clenching his jaw when it still looked a mess. damn these stupid garments. hearing your small chuckle, he looked over at you, hands and shoulders falling in defeat as he silently pleaded you to help him.
your gentle hands reached for his neck, undoing the poor excuse of his tie and smoothing it out before placing it over his neck again. you worked silently, nimble fingers working the fabric in a way that kept it neat and crisp as you folded it correctly.
levi sat up straight, carefully watching you work your magic through the mirror - noticing the way you had meticulously put up your hair, the way your shawl draped around your frame, the silk of your dress hanging around your curves…
“there you are.”
your gentle voice brought him out of his trance and his breath hitched as you buttoned his vest, completing the look. there was no way he could have done this on his own.
“didn’t you learn how to tie this when you were in the service?” you teased him, finally peeling your eyes away from his neck to look at him.
“briefly,” he said simply. “i never used them though…”
you looked down at his hands, the signature white ascot gently hanging from his fingers. you chuckled again, never knowing exactly what this garment meant to him but knowing it had a deep significance in his life. gently taking the ascot from his hands, you gently folded it into a makeshift handkerchief before tucking it neatly into the pocket of his blazer.
“this way it can still be with you on this special day,” you whispered, patting the pocket with care.
levi sighed out a rare chuckle, taking your hands into his and bringing them up to his lips for a gentle peck.
“what would i do without you?” he whispered.
“a lot of things,” you responded with a smile. “you did live a whole life before you met me.”
levi shook his head, bringing your hands back to his lips, kissing them more desperately. it was true, he lived several decades on his own before he met you… but what mattered now was that his life had turned around once you came in - someone who loved him unconditionally despite his past and the obvious reminders of it.
“not now,” he said. “i wouldn’t be able to live this new life if you weren’t in it- i don’t want to live this new life if you aren’t in it.”
you smiled, his rare vulnerability showing. gently maneuvering your hands, you switched positions and returned the gesture, bringing his war torn hands to your soft lips.
“you don’t have to,” you promised.
he looked at you, a newfound passion for life pulsing through his veins, grateful to the gods for giving him another chance. he held his gaze with you for another few moments before you reached out to cup his cheek.
“come on,” you said. “we’ll be late for the grand opening.”
you stood up, walking behind him to wheel him out to the main lobby. any other day he would protest, assuring you he was fine doing it on his own, but you insisted that he spends today resting and enjoying himself. a tea shop was always in his dreams but never had he expected it to come to reality and you wanted him to fully enjoy the moment. another reason he was grateful for you as it was your insistence of him following that dream.
he smiled, repeating back to himself… what would he do without you?
a/n: a bunch of drabbles while i get myself back into writing! hope y'all enjoy hehe
The halls of the makeshift Survey Corps headquarters carried a rare sense of calm. The battle for Wall Maria was over, and though the scars of the fight still lingered in the air, the victory had bought them something they never seemed to have: a moment to breathe. Captain Levi, perhaps uncharacteristically merciful, had granted them a day of rest.
Eren found Y/N standing outside the building, leaning against a stone wall. Her arms were crossed, and her sharp, dark eyes scanned the streets beyond, where the occasional villager passed by. The sun caught the rich tones of her hair, framing her features in a way that made Eren’s chest ache. She was striking, even after everything they’d been through—maybe especially so.
“Y/N,” he called out, jogging up to her.
She turned, her face softening when she saw him. “What’s up, Jaeger?”
Eren grinned. “We’re going out.”
Her brows arched. “Oh, we are, are we? You make it sound like I don’t have a choice.”
“You don’t,” he said simply, grabbing her hand. “Come on.”
She allowed him to lead her, though she shot him a sidelong glance. “You know, most people would ask their girlfriend out on a date, not kidnap her.”
“You’re already coming,” he replied, unfazed. “Why waste time asking?”
A laugh slipped from her lips. “Fair enough.”
They passed by Mikasa and Armin as they reached the edge of the courtyard. Mikasa’s sharp gaze immediately fell on their intertwined hands. “Where are you going?”
“Just out,” Eren said, his tone light but firm.
“Captain Levi said we’re supposed to stay close,” Mikasa reminded him, though her voice was more concerned than reprimanding.
“We’ll be fine,” Eren reassured her. “It’s just one day.”
Armin offered them a small smile, his blue eyes understanding. “Enjoy yourselves. You deserve it.”
Eren nodded, already pulling Y/N along. She glanced back at Mikasa and Armin, giving them a half-wave before focusing on the boy in front of her.
As they stepped into the bustling streets of Wall Rose, the difference in atmosphere was palpable. The market was alive with noise and color, the smell of fresh bread and spices filling the air. Merchants called out their wares, and children darted through the crowd with carefree laughter. It was so far removed from the grim reality they usually faced that it felt almost surreal.
“You really dragged me out here to wander the market?” Y/N asked, a teasing lilt in her voice.
“You don’t like the market?” Eren countered, glancing over his shoulder at her.
“It’s not that,” she said with a shrug. “I just didn’t peg you as the type to stroll around stalls like this.”
“I’m not,” he admitted. “But I know you like it.”
Her teasing smile faltered for a moment, replaced by something softer. She squeezed his hand, her voice quieter now. “You’re not bad at this, you know. The whole boyfriend thing.”
Eren smirked, a rare glint of boyish pride flashing across his face. “Good to know.”
They wandered through the market, stopping occasionally to look at trinkets or sample food from the stalls. At one point, Y/N picked up a delicate blue pendant from a jeweler’s stall, holding it up to the light.
“It suits you,” Eren said, his tone unusually earnest.
She glanced at him, her expression unreadable. “You think so?”
“Yeah.” He handed the merchant a few coins before she could protest.
“Eren,” she started, but he cut her off.
“It’s yours,” he said simply. “No arguments.”
She rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide her smile. “You’re lucky I like you.”
As they continued, Y/N couldn’t help but notice the way Eren’s gaze sometimes drifted, his expression growing distant. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen that look, but today, it felt heavier. She wanted to ask, but she also didn’t want to ruin the lightheartedness of the day.
They stopped at a bakery where the smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. Eren ordered them pastries, and they sat on a nearby bench to eat. Y/N watched him carefully as he took a bite, his jaw tight despite the relaxed setting.
“Eren,” she said, her voice cutting through the noise of the market. “What’s going on?”
He blinked, startled. “What do you mean?”
“You’re doing that thing again,” she said, poking his arm. “Brooding. You’ve been doing it all day.”
“I’m not brooding,” he said defensively, though the faint color in his cheeks betrayed him.
“You’re definitely brooding,” she pressed. “What is it?”
Eren hesitated, his gaze dropping to the half-eaten pastry in his hands. “I just… I want you to enjoy today. That’s all.”
Her brows furrowed. “Eren…”
“Y/N,” he interrupted, looking at her now. “Please. Can we just—can we just have this one day?”
She bit her lip, torn between wanting to push him and wanting to honor his request. Finally, she sighed, leaning back against the bench. “You’re impossible.”
A small smile tugged at his lips. “I’ve heard that before.”
They resumed wandering, but the earlier lightness was gone, replaced by a quiet tension that neither of them acknowledged. Y/N tried to distract herself by teasing him, pointing out a particularly gaudy scarf and suggesting he buy it.
“It’d match your serious face,” she joked.
“You’re not funny,” he deadpanned, though the corner of his mouth twitched.
By the time the sun began to dip below the horizon, Eren surprised her by leading her to a small inn on the edge of the district.
“You planned this?” Y/N asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Figured we could use a break from barracks life,” he said with a shrug.
The room was modest but warm, with a single bed and a window overlooking the quiet street below. Y/N set her things down, glancing around before sitting on the edge of the bed.
As the weight of the day settled over them, she looked up at Eren, who stood by the window, his back to her.
“Eren,” she said softly.
He turned, his expression unreadable.
She hesitated before continuing. “I know why you’ve been acting like this.”
He stiffened but didn’t respond.
“It’s because of what we found in the basement, isn’t it?” she pressed, her voice wavering slightly. “You think I don’t notice, but I do. You’re trying to distract me from it.”
Eren’s jaw tightened, and he crossed the room in a few strides, kneeling in front of her. “I don’t want to waste today thinking about things we can’t change,” he said, his voice low and firm.
“Eren—”
“No,” he cut her off, his hands gripping hers. “Please, Y/N. I just… I need you to be happy. Just for today.”
Her heart broke at the desperation in his voice. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she blinked them away. “You’re so stupid,” she whispered.
He frowned. “What?”
“You think I can just ignore it? You think I can pretend it doesn’t hurt to know—” She broke off, her voice cracking. “To know I’m going to lose you?”
Eren’s face softened, and he reached up to cup her cheek. “Y/N…”
She shook her head, her tears finally spilling over. “I hate it, Eren. I hate that you’re trying to shoulder this alone. I hate that you’re leaving me.”
“I’m not leaving you,” he said fiercely. “Not yet. Not today. And when the time comes…” He swallowed hard, his voice breaking. “I’ll fight until the very end. For you.”
She let out a shaky laugh, her hand covering his. “You’re the only one who can make me cry and laugh at the same time, you know that?”
His lips quirked into a small smile. “Good. I plan on doing it as long as I can.”
Their eyes met, and something shifted between them. Eren leaned forward, his lips capturing hers in a kiss that was slow and deliberate, as if trying to convey everything he couldn’t put into words. The kiss deepened, and before long, they were moving together without hesitation, shedding the weight of war, their fears, and everything but this moment. His hands explored her with reverence, as if committing every detail of her to memory, while her fingers traced the muscles of his back, pulling him closer.
When they finally lay together on the bed, their bodies intertwined, there was no uncertainty—only trust and love. They took their time, learning the curves and contours of each other in a way they hadn’t allowed themselves before. It was tender and passionate, a moment of intimacy that they both knew would stay with them forever.
“I love you,” Eren whispered, his voice raw and unguarded as he gazed down at her.
Y/N’s tears returned, this time out of overwhelming emotion rather than pain. “I love you too,” she murmured, her voice trembling. “So much.”
The world outside the room faded as they lost themselves in each other. The weight of their fears and the reality of their fleeting time together melted away, replaced by the warmth of their shared connection.
When it was over, they lay tangled in the sheets, their breaths still mingling as the room settled into silence. Eren pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead, his hand tracing soothing patterns along her arm.
“You’re staring,” she murmured, her voice still thick with sleep.
“Can you blame me?” he replied, his tone lighter than it had been in days. “You’re beautiful.”
She rolled her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips. “Flattery will get you nowhere.”
“It’s not flattery if it’s true,” he said, leaning in to press a kiss to her forehead.
She sighed, her smile fading slightly. “Eren…”
“Don’t,” he said softly, cutting her off.
She looked at him, her dark eyes searching his. “Promise me something.”
“Anything.”
“Promise me you won’t stop fighting. No matter what happens.”
His expression grew serious, and he nodded. “I promise.”
They stayed like that for a while, wrapped in each other’s arms, savoring the fragile peace of the moment. Whatever came next, they would face it together—for as long as they had.

You and Reiner met each other at Galliard’s house party to celebrate your college’s new title as the Football State Champions. After nearly arriving with a broken arm and a terrible concussion, the only thing captivating Reiner’s attention was your stunning figure dressed within your college’s attire.
Within his head, Reiner thought, “I wonder what she would look like with my jersey on?”
“Porco!” Reiner called above the blasting music. Hearing his name, your college’s award-winning wide-receiver, Porco, sat beside Reiner and draped his arm over the talented runningback. “What’s up?” He answered casually. Following his gaze, Porco noticed Reiner kept staring at you until he mumbled, “Who is she?” Porco smiled to himself. “Thats y/n. Why? Think she’s cute?” Reiner blushed.
“OHH Y/N!” Porco yelled. “Shut the fuck up, Galliard!”
Within two months, you two grew inseparable. Quickly, Reiner found himself deeply attracted to your physical and emotional characteristics leading him to ask you on a date.
The rest is history...
When you and Reiner first began dating, Reiner terribly struggled with self-confidence, despite being the person everyone admired. He convinced himself that he was replaceable, irresponsible, and humiliating. However, you showed Reiner that the only person he needed to please is himself. You initiated LONG journey Reiner needed to take to begin appreciating himself.
Due to your interference, Reiner now believes in himself and his ability. He realizes that he’s in debt to your kind heart and beautiful personality. He cannot thank you enough for showing him that he needed to love himself before he can love anyone else.
My apologies, I cannot picture Reiner as anything but an A T H E L E T E.
He plays football (running back), baseball, track (discus, javelin, shotput), wrestling, rugby, and lacrosse.
“Baby, are you coming to my game today?”
Reiner isn’t a sore loser. He personally congratulates the winning team by shaking their captain’s hand.
When playing against Shinganshia College at the regional championships, Reiner approached the team captain sating, “Congratulations, Eren. You should be proud of yourself and your hard work. It was a pleasure to face you.”
Always wears tight black t-shirts that hug his chest under a comfortable sweatshirt. For bottoms, Reiner is always wearing sweatpants or khakis.
You’re always encouraging Reiner to wear khakis because they make his ass look stunning.
Wears the legendary cross-necklace.
Talk about a B.U.B.B.L.E. B.U.T.T.
At home, Reiner walks around without a shirt.
You’ll droll over his defined V-LINE.
YOU CANNOT DENY THAT REINER’S BODY IS G O R G O U S.
Expect a full chest, defined back, huge arms, washboard abs, deep V-line, ripped thighs, and muscular legs. Reiner takes great care of his body.
Whenever Reiner catches you staring at his body, he winks at you saying, “Thats how I look at you every day.”
Always MANSPREADING.
You must admit, Reiner’s hot when he leans down, casually rests his elbows on his knees, and laces his fingers together.
Let’s spell it together: S.I.M.P:
Will drop anything if you’re in need. You’re Reiner’s first priority.
Doesn’t hesitate to purchase anything you want or need.
If you’re shopping together and you find something you love but it's “too much money,” Reiner will return the next day and purchase it for you.
Always treats you to lunch and dinner at places of your choice.
Reiner’s lock screen is a cute photo of you wearing his oversized football jersey. The photograph never fails to make him smile.
Kindly asks you to message his shoulders and back.
“Baby, I think I have a knot by my spine. Could you take care of that, please?”
Say less; anything to touch him.
If Reiner’s jealous, he will approach you from behind, place his hand flat on your lower stomach, and pull you against his chest as he intimidates the other man staring him up and down.
“Hey, baby. Who is this?”
WILLINGLY watches chick-flicks and dramatic television shows with you, and yes, he LOVES them.
He’s honest about it as well...
When Reiner’s friends tease him, he responds, “Hey, don’t knock it until you try it. I’m team Stefan.”
Doesn’t realize when other women flirt with him. Sure, it annoys you when Reiner continues casually talking to another woman who is BLATANTLY flirting with him, but he doesn’t know.
Once, you decided to approach Reiner as a woman was telling him about her schedule, you walked over, wrapped your hand around his neck, and buried your head in his shoulder.
“Love, did you make a new friend,” You’ll “innocently” ask. Reiner smiles and shrugs grabbing your hand.
“My apologies; what was your name again?” Reiner asks the woman. He wasn’t paying attention to their previous conversation.
LOVES PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION:
Tightly holds your hand
Lovingly kisses your forehead
Seductively whispers in your ear
Wraps his hands around your waist to hold you close to his chest
Your friends admire your relationship:
You’re referred to as “mom” and “dad.”
If your friends are in need of relationship advice, they approach you. Your relationship is based upon love, honesty, and trust. Others want what you’ve created together.
Uses P.E.T. N.A.M.E.S. such as baby, princess, beautiful, and gorgeous.
ADORES when you straddle his lap, look into his eyes, and cup his cheeks before leaning in to kiss him.
Slowly runs his tongue over his bottom lip every time you’ll pull away from kissing. He NEEDS another taste of your lip gloss.
PILLOW TALK
You fall deeper in love with Reiner when he’s laying beside you admitting, “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, angel.”
“I love you with all of my heart and soul, princess.”
It’s a secret: Reiner’s been saving A LOT of money to purchase you the engagement ring of your dreams.
Took your favorite family member/friend out for dinner to help pick a ring out.
Plans to hide it in the “junk” drawer of your home.
Strives to have three children: two girls and one boy. He imagines himself telling his son, “I’m so proud of you. I want you to always believe and be confident in yourself.” He looks forward to telling his daughters, “You’ll become two of the most beautiful women in the world if you follow in your mother’s footsteps.”
NSFW
Talk about P U S S Y W H I P P E D outside and inside of the bedroom.
I know a ton of people believe, “Reiner is a virgin,” but I’m not convinced. Reiner has 2 - 4 bodies. He’s not a whore, but he’s not inexperienced.
Reiner screams S.W.I.T.C.H.
Reiner can be a top or bottom; however, he LOVES being on top. The sight of your small body beneath his is burned within his head. However, Reiner would be lying if he claimed he didn’t ADORE watching your tits bounce as you’re riding his cock.
Expect to be praised, never degraded.
As you’re riding his dick, Reiner will whisper in your ear, “Don’t stop fucking my cock like this, angel.”
“God, baby. You’re pussy feels like heaven.”
Very L.O.U.D: Reiner enjoys groaning, talking, and mumbling as he’s pleasuring you.
FOREPLAY is ESSENTIAL for Reiner
Imagine Reiner slowly pushing you against the wall, lightly grazing your sensitive skin, and whispering dirty things on your lips.
“Tell me what you want, baby; my fingers or my mouth?”
“I think you deserve a reward for being such a good girl. What do you think?”
Again, Reiner LOVES making noise.
He ADORES the slapping sound his balls make against your ass when he’s plowing into you from behind.
He’s OBSESSED with the gushing sound of your wet pussy as he’s three fingers deep in you.
Blushes when others discuss your sex life. Sure, Reiner acknowledges when other people hear the pleasure he’s creating within the bedroom, but he can’t deny that their talk makes his cheeks turn red with embarrassment.
WEAR LINGERIE - Its Reiner’s weakness.
Reiner’s obsessed with seeing you wear a white lace matching set with a garter belt.
When you were going on vacation with your family, Reiner could not attend. Since you weren’t spending time together for two weeks, you wanted to do something special. Thus, you decided to have professional boudior photography session for Reiner.
After seeing the photos, he needed a MINUTE.
Reiner uses these photos to masturbate when you aren’t able to pleasure him.
Most photos are stained with his cum.
You’re the couple that sends nude photographs at least once a day.
Saves your photos in a private folder.
Watches you innocently style your hair in a ponytail. Reiner bites his bottom lip because he imagines himself putting it into a ponytail before you wrap your mouth around his cock.
Is thoroughly convinced that you’re an expert at sucking his dick.
You will have Reiner a moaning mess within two minutes ready to bust inside of your mouth.
“Please don’t stop, baby.”
If Reiner’s team wins a game, you’ll award his performance with a “surprise” blow job. Now, Reiner rushes home because he knows what comes after a win.
S.W.A.L.L.O.W.
“Show me your tongue.” Reiner will demand.
Reiner is an E X P E R T with his fingers.
He fingers your pussy with his middle and ring finger, not the pointer finger. Yes, there is a difference.
OBSESSED WITH EATING PUSSY:
Just sit on this man’s face. He’s always happy to bury his tongue in your cunt.
“Sit on my face, darling. Don’t be scared.”
Has a tendency to hum against your pussy causes vibrations to radiate throughout your body.
VOYEURISM:
At Reiner’s parties, he purposefully brings you into his room, cracks the door, and begins to tug at your clothes.
Days ago, Jean and Marco were walking through Reiner’s house to find the bathroom. However, the two friends noticed moaning and groaning sounds coming from Reiner’s bedroom. Seeing the door cracked, Jean peaked around the corner. His eyes widened at the sight; your body leaned against Reiner’s headboard with your legs spread apart. Even with your eyes closed, Jean and Marco noticed that you were experiencing pure bliss as Reiner’s mouth eagerly lapped at your pussy.
As much as Jean didn’t want to stare, he couldn’t pull his eyes away.
A little perverted...
“Secretly” steals your bras and panties. A few times you’ve come home from school to discover your panties in the laundry basket drenched with Reiner’s cum.
Always hopes your tiny skirt is short enough to see your panties when you bend over.
Kneels down to “tie your shoe,” but looks up your dress or skirt to see what underwear you’re wearing.
Squeezes your ass in public.
If there are no seats, Reiner pulls you onto his lap to feel your ass move against his dick.
Let’s address the obvious: Size Kink
Enjoys watching you struggle to fit his huge cock in your tight pussy. He always whispers, “It’s okay, princess. It’ll fit.”
M.A.K.E.S. L.O.V.E.
Reiner believes sex means A LOT more than pleasure. He believes sex is a way to show your partner how much you love them.
Yes, Reiner enjoys rough sex occasionally, but he LOVES making love.
Reiner buries his head into the crease of your neck as he’s pounding your pussy. He whispers words of praises on your skin.
“Your pussy always feels so good wrapped around my cock.”
“Does my cock feel good, love? Tell me how good I make you feel.”
Remember the cross necklace? You love the way it looks when it’s dangling in your face as Reiner is slamming your hips together.
Always stares at your breasts when you’re fucking.
He ADORES the way your titties bounce when he thrusts inside of you.
Not afraid to get some blood on his sword. If you know what I mean...
S H O W E R S E X
Against the shower wall, you’ll wrap your legs around Reiner’s waist as his hands rest possessively on your ass bouncing you on his cock. The feeling of Reiner sliding in your pussy while the water slides down your body is indescribable.
LOVES the feeling of your pussy rapidly squeezing before you cum on his dick. Once Reiner begins to feel your cunt pulse around his member, he’s coming close to his release as well.
“Yes, baby. Cum on my cock, please.”
“You’re squeezing me so well.”
Finishes inside of your pussy. You both thoroughly enjoy the feeling of unprotected sex. However, you both assure you’re being safe by taking birth control or PlanB.
As Reiner is uncontrollably pounding inside of you, whisper in his ear, “Cum inside of me, baby.”
Reiner has GREAT AFTERCARE.
Assure you can walk (most of the time you can’t).
Starts a warm bath or shower if you wish. Yes, he’s joining you.
Kisses various areas of your body whispering words of affirmation.
“You’re so beautiful.”
“Thank you for sharing everything with me. I love you with everything I have.”
I know I posted about it yesterday but I seriously can't stop thinking about Floch/Reader/Eren in a Ten Seconds sequel!! Floch, that little bastard, as INVADED MY BRAIN!!! I love an enemies to lovers story and it becomes so BEAUTIFULLY COMPLICATED if a Floch/Reader romance blooms in this verse ahhhhh
listen here:
[Eren/Reader/Floch - established Eren/Reader, reader is asexual]
Floch's been in love with Eren since DAY 1 of them meeting (Eren was his bi awakening) so when they start having casual sex in their first year of uni but Eren's really clear with him about "no feelings" SO he bottles those feelings up (it's cliche but KEEP READING)
THEN when Eren starts dating you (aka the whole plot of Ten Seconds) Floch is so fucking heart broken because Eren had told him over and over again that he doesn't date people and just fucks
BUT AT LEAST you and Eren start to have a really weird nontraditional relationship where Eren still fucks other people (which Floch DOES NOT understand and eventually comes out as aphobia because he's ignorant don't worry he will learn)
Even though he can get railed by your boyfriend, Floch still hates you with a burning passion because Eren's so clearly in love with you and the way he looks at you is different than how Eren's ever looked at anyone else
And Floch can't help the jealousy that burns a hole in his heart every time he sees it
Meanwhile you:
Have never really understood why Floch hates you so much. Especially since it started even before you and Eren were dating
So you tend to just ignore Floch so you don't have to deal with the headache
You know Eren likes hanging out with him (and having sex with him) so you're not going to get in the way of that
Then one day you show up to Eren's apartment just as Floch is leaving. Floch doesn't notice you're there. You see a different side of him than you've ever seen - he's softer, less angry, smiling and even laughs (a genuine laugh too, not a laugh used to mock someone)
And it makes you start seeing him in a completely different way
You start to notice the little things: how he always hesitates before saying something mean, how his eyes light up when he gets a text from a friend, how he always looks like he's about to reach out to touch Eren before he stops and pulls back.
You start to learn little things too: he gets terrible allergies in the spring, he's deathly afraid of rodents, he plays the piano and has one of the most angelic singing voices you've ever heard (and he doesn't know you heard him singing, so you can't even compliment him on it)
So you're dating Eren
Eren's fucking Floch
Floch hates you
And you... you're starting to find it hard to hate him back
Honestly, you're starting to find it hard to feel anything but the OPPOSITE of hatred...
Levi is the type to be easily flustered by romantic gestures. He may not show this outwardly, but let’s say if his crush was to do something like, bestow a surprise gift onto him or something, he wouldn’t know what to do exactly. He would of course, thank them ( a bit awkwardly) and then retreat. He would want to reciprocate, but he just needs time to think.
Levi sometimes hums little lullabies to himself and rocks while he works when he is alone in his office.
Levi’s crush initiates the first kiss, and he allows them to take the lead at first, too. It’s not that he’s inexperienced, it’s just that he is a little nervous and he wants them to feel comfortable before he takes a bit more control.
He does not go easy on his s/o during training; he pushes them harder, in fact. He doesn’t go full Ackerman strength on them or anything, but he does go hard. He wants his partner to be able to use their wits against him to win. It will definitely take multiple attempts because Levi has brains and brawn, but when they do succeed, he is so proud.
Levi is a light sleeper due to his time living in the dangerous underground. Additionally, from time to time he does snore a little. Not loudly, but like a cute little nose whistle.
Levi is very self-aware, so he knew when he caught feelings for his crush, but he did not want to act upon them at first. For starters, the world he knows doesn't allow for successful lovers, damn near everyone he has ever cared for has died and to be fair he has never felt such strong romantic feelings before. This man is tired of being hurt and these emotions frighten him, so at first he sort of distances himself from his potential s/o, despite how much it hurts him to do so.
Hello! I recently came across your blog and saw your requests were open. Can i ask for a scenario of Levi's fem S/o dying in an expedition? Thank you!!
Hope this is okay, Anon! Thank you so much for requesting <3
This expedition wasn't supposed to be the last one for almost every man and woman that took part in it, and Levi could feel the dread chill his bones as his eyes scanned the blood-soaked ground. The fallen bodies of his comrades being the only thing he could see.
A blue flare signal went up in the air, and he knew they needed to retreat, or the whole Survey Corps would be exterminated.
From the corner of his eye he could see Hanji mounting and directing his squad away, mike following right behind. The few soldiers that had survived the massacre scattering around, dodging the titans that surrounded them. He did one last twirl in the air with his ODM, slicing one last neck and went for his horse. As he clutched the reins, something made him stop dead in his tracks.
His comrades rode past him, but no matter the imminent danger they were in, Levi couldn't oblige their feet to move. Erwin's command to retreat sounded once more, but he wasn't listening anymore, the shock, painfully stabbing his heart.
He saw you.
He was so confused. He had checked up on you before taking on the last titan. So how was possible that in the time it took him to slaughter it you were on the floor? A breath hitched in his throat, and the knowing that he had lost someone else dear to him slapped him across the face.
He felt the tears prick his eyes, but he refused to let them fall. A conversation he had with you fresh in his memory.
"If I ever die, please don't cry. I don't like the thought of you crying, it feels wrong..." You trailed, the nervousness in your voice evident.
"Don't be stupid, you won't die." Levi concluded, it was more a wish than a statement but he strongly believed you wouldn't leave his side.
Apparently whatever god there was, they were laughing at his pain. The only thing Levi knew was the feeling of loosing someone. He hoped that with you it would be different, specially as you were a skillful soldier, having your own squad in charge and all.
He walked up to your sprawled body, and he saw so much blood covering everything you had, but you were still so beautiful. Your eyes were closed as if you were at peace, and he like the thought of it, but he would've preferred for you to be alive. Kneeling down, he grabbed your body in his arms, and you were so cold, almost as cold as he felt at the moment. It was as if his nightmare was coming true, and he thought maybe, hopefully he was just dreaming, only to wake up to you next to him, telling him you were there and promising you would survive together like so many times before.
The pain in his chest told him it wasn’t the case, as he felt the shock starting to recede, leaving only a burning heartache behind. What was he supposed to do with the dreams he knew you had and you were never going to accomplish?
He clenched his jaw, refusing to let the broken cry that was crawling up his neck be free.
You would be mad if you could see how reckless he was being, just staying next to your battered and torn body, instead of running back to safety. So lost he was he didn't notice the titan looming above him until it came crashing down, shuddering the ground with the impact.
Erwin's booming voice made its way into his ears, and Levi looked at him standing at the nape of the fallen beast
"Levi! We got to go! Is you dying here what (Y/n) Would've wanted!?" Erwin came down and grabbed his cape, pulling up. Levi's body followed, almost as if he was a puppet. "Snap out of it!"
Levi took one last look at you and swallowed the need to stay with you. He couldn't even take your body with him. Where was he going to put it in the horse? Looking around, he noticed the carts were long gone.
Levi couldn't even remember how he mounted or when he started to go back to the walls, the only thing he could remember was the sight of you, getting smaller with every step f his horse, and the numbness that filled his body, as a tear slipped from his gray and haunted eyes.
Guilt sank in his gut, and he asked for your forgiveness. His promise to you broken, just like his soul.
Warning: implied, short piece...very short piece *cries*
It's literally 4:20 am... Don't expect too much hshshshs

"Don't you just.... Love me!?"
"Mhm."
"Like, I'm extremely lovable!"
"Yes, yes you are..."
"I'm so lovable that YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ME BECAUSE I'M ALSO CUTE!"
"Yeah, everyone's ray of sunshine. I love you."
(Y/n) huffed, taking up a pillow and chucking it harshly to the back of Levi's head, causing the short man to mess up his papers with ink scribbles and tea that he choked up and spit out from the impact since they seemed to get him as soon as he took a sip from his tea cup..
He coughed and regained his composure with darkened features, slowly turning around to look at his lover that chuckled nervously with a small 'oops' squeaking past their lips and cheeky grin as they quickly sprinted out of their shared apartment with the slam of the door. In obvious hurry to find hiding from the dangers that would surely come and bite them in the ass...
Literally, ahem─
With Levi being left behind, he calmly cleaned up the mess in silence with only one thing on his mind;
