Scene from Beyond The Walls
The fresh air helps clear his thoughts. It cools his mind and body, and he no longer feels like breaking someone’s face.
It’s just a matter of time that Erwin comes looking for him. He always does, and he always knows where and when to find him.
It is only another moment before Erwin comes.
“Enjoying your night?”
Levi lets out a sigh in frustration. He doesn't feel like talking, not right now. He can barely put his thoughts together coherently, because none of this makes sense.
“You’ve been here for quite a while,” Erwin says, and he walks to stand beside him. “What’s wrong?”
“Everything is wrong,” Levi blurts out. Something is really wrong with himself tonight, that’s the only way he can explain it. This turmoil that hollows his chest. “This place fucking sucks.”
“It really does,” Erwin sighs, and looks up at the sky. “I ran out of things to talk about already.”
Levi’s still looking at the start when he feels Erwin’s arms against his on the railing.
“But at least it's a beautiful night.”
Levi can't help but huff an anxious laugh.
“You could try dancing for once,” Erwin says, elbowing him playfully, “you know, to blend in.”
“Absolutely not.” Levi sways, pushing Erwin gently, “I can't dance.”
“Everyone can dance, if they really want to.”
“Well, I don’t fucking want to,” Levi grumbles, louder than he intends to.
Erwin turns to him then, his eyebrows furrow. “Why are you so ill-tempered today?”
“I’m not, damn it. Just— fucking finish your business and let’s go back already.”
A grin is slowly building on Erwin’s lips, and Levi shudders, because he knows that grin. It can’t mean anything good. Not for Levi anyway.
Erwin offers Levi a hand, and with a playful smile, he says, “not until you dance at least once.”
Levi clicks his tongue in disapproval, and begins to walk away. “Fuck off, Erwin.”
“Come on, it's easy.” Erwin’s laughing as he chases him. “I’ll show you.”
“Forget it.”
In spite of Levi’s protests, Erwin tugs at his sleeve, drags him away from the railing, and Levi soon finds himself unable to resist his grip.
“I promise you it’s just practice,” Erwin says, and takes Levi’s hand to place it on his own waist. It's warm and firm and thick under Levi’s small hand, even over Erwin’s clothes, and the contact makes his heart race.
“The music marks the tempo of the steps, like this…”
Erwin takes Levi’s hand now, and spins with him around slowly, guiding Levi’s steps. One, two, three, one, two, three. He counts, and Levi follows. Levi’s feet tangle with Erwin’s, who gives much longer strides than him.
“This is stupid,” Levi groans, but he finds himself drawing closer to him with every turn. His grip tightens on Erwin’s waist, and his cheek rests on Erwin’s chest. There it is again, that smell, so particular of him. The air is still warm outside, but the heat of Erwin’s body somehow doesn't bother him. He's even craving for more of it.
It’s Erwin now who holds him by the waist, and Levi’s entire body vibrates at the touch, sending a rush of blood to his groin. He looks up, and Erwin’s watching him closely. His stomach swoops in a strange way.
“You’re doing great.” Erwin smiles, and every bit of anger leaves Levi’s body in an instant.
Erwin’s smile really is like the sun, rising in the middle of the night; exorbitant, impossible. Levi orbits around it, no matter how blinding or overwhelming it is. He draws closer, and closer still, because watching him from a safe distance is no longer enough. He needs to feel him, touch him, even if he burns with him. Anything is better than this agonizing need that’s taken control over him.
“Erwin,” he calls for him, and Erwin tilts his head down slowly, his lips are softly parted, and his breath brushes on Levi’s lips. Erwin’s scent is all over him now, there's no escaping it. It’s driving Levi into insanity.
His hands grip the collar of Erwin’s shirt, he pulls him in as he pushes on his toes, and before he can stop to think about it, his lips are closed on Erwin’s.
There’s a quiet gasp, followed by a sigh of relief, from both. And then, nothing. No sound, no words, no movement.
Levi recoils.
He looks up at Erwin, eyes wide in astonishment. At himself, at his own stupidity, at what he's done. A moment of reasoning flashes before his eyes, and he panics.
Erwin’s staring at him, eyes as wide as his, and Levi shivers as he realizes what he’s done.
“Erwin, I’m—“
Erwin closes his eyes, eyebrows knitted. He turns. Then turns again, runs a hand over his face.
When he looks at Levi again, his eyes are glassy, his nose is flaring, and it’s the scariest face Levi’s seen from him yet. Terror seizes him.
“I’m sorry,” is the only thing Erwin says, loud and clear, then he turns to head back into the ballroom without another word.
The wind carries the merriest melody from inside, where the pairings keep dancing and toasting with champagne glasses in their hands. It lingers in the air for another moment, the tapping of high heels, the loud chattering, the clinking of glasses, while Levi watches Erwin disappear into the crowd.
The door closes. Levi stands there in silence. The moon is bright up in the sky, and it’s the most beautiful night Levi’s ever seen since he first watched the stars. It’s the sweetest irony.
I’m going to make prints soon, stay tuned 🌼✌🏻
Erwin-Hange-Levi
Can I just say that this trio is by far my most favorite trio in the series. Because they all work together. Their strengths. Their personalities. Unlike the other trios in the anime, we rarely got to see these three interact outside work. But its pretty obvious how they respect and care deeply about each other.
Hange and Erwin
Hange talks very casually with Erwin despite being the commander. This just goes to show how comfortable they are with each other. Plus, they knew each other longer compared to Levi which kinda explains why.
Hange despite being carefree and reckless at time, was handed the commander position. Because Erwin believes in them. And that for Hange, means a lot.
I think the relationship between Hange and Erwin is so underrated. In the entirety of Season 4, I think Hange kept thinking about the commander position because of Erwin. Among others, they didn’t want to let Erwin down.
Also, Erwin was the first person Hange met in the afterlife? His words were the first comfort they got. We also got to see Hange smile genuinely after.
*also that one time in the first OVA where Erwin asked Levi to go after Hange because he was worried about them. :’))
Levi and Hange
This dynamic is so chaotic and yet perfect. Contrary to popular opinion, Hange and Levi are complementary with each other. I think Erwin actually acknowledges this (no, not the romantic relationship between them but the fact that they work better together). Based on the game, Erwin always places Hange and Levi’s squad positions near each other. Plus! when threatened, they naturally assume a back-to-back position!
There’s also that scene were Hange asks Levi to come live with them. To runaway. Moving away from the romantic perspective, this scene actually showed how much pain they shared. Hange could’ve just ran away by themselves but he asked Levi to come with. Maybe because they know Levi too needs a break from all the pain.
Say what you want about Hange but it’s a fact that they saved Levi’s life 3 times. I know they would’ve done the same for Erwin if they were there in his final moments.
I am never going to shut up about this scene too. Hange the commander asking a subordinate to let them go. Bittersweet. This just shows how they’re bond strengthened in the past years.
*I know that the airplane thing is controversial because a lot of fans don’t want to think that it was a Levi-Hange moment. Regardless of whatever, I know Levi acknowledges the fact that the main reason he’s alive is because of Hange.
Levi and Erwin
In the manga, Erwin first met Levi in the underground city. Erwin immediately saw potential in him. He knew Levi was bound for greater things and he took it upon himself to make it into reality. You just know that they have high respects for each other.
Erwin always kept Levi close to him and I think that says a lot to how Erwin also depends on Levi.
Also here’s Levi actively caring for Erwin. He shows it in the weirdest ways but we love him for it. definitelly.
This will remain iconic. Levi bowing down in front of Erwin like a knight to a king. Not to mention, Levi made sure to fulfill his promise even if it meant risking his life so many-many times.
*I also find it very funny that one scene in season 2 where Erwin asks Levi to feel free to rest because he knows how much of pointless fighting he hates.
Erwin is the brains. Levi is the strength. And Hange is the heart. Of the survey corps.
I mean look at this two watching Erwin scream his lungs out.
They really spent Erwin’s last moments together too
reminder too that this official art exist where they celebrated Levi’s birthday together
Levi in the midst of a war, remembering Hange and Erwin
I mean look at them
Just look at them
Can everyone stop fighting over whose ship is more superior? we all know that Erwin x Basement, Hange x Titan, Levi x Cleaning, remains superior! haha! Kidding aside, let’s get along. The anime is already depressing enough
At first I was like “lemme draw Levi.”
Then I was like “lemme draw Levi from Erwins perspective q
