i have a few! he's a character that i really struggle with writing for some reason... i've loved him since i was 13, and yet i cannot write him for the life of me
He majored in neuroscience in university and continued research in that field until he completed his Ph.D, and now he works as a full time faculty member at the university he completed his Ph.D at.
He almost exclusively wears business casual clothing - slacks, button up shirts, etc.. His students have never seen him in jeans. Or any colour really… he tends to stick to black and white.
He almost exclusively teaches upper year courses, because he likes the smaller classroom sizes to be able to know the students a bit better.
When he is stuck teaching first and second year courses, he is notorious for his hard marking. However, those who have taken multiple courses with him, or just try to talk to him, know how deeply he cares about his students. He has no problems with giving out extensions or spending his office hours going over lecture and textbook content to make sure they understand the concepts. He wants them to succeed, and to also be challenged.
Levi rarely takes undergraduate students to be research assistants in his lab, but Mikasa is one of very few that has gotten the privilege. He thinks she has the talent to be able to make it big in the field.
He has quite a few tattoos, which is surprising to those close to him outside of work since he covers them at work. He’s got a full sleeve on his left arm and a few scattered on other parts of his body.
He has reading glasses. He has “misplaced” them a handful of times (“misplaced” as in he forgot them on his head).
He’s a dog dad to one very happy, and spoiled, akita inu.
Levi is fluent in both French and English. Due to being so close with Hange and Erwin, he’s picked up quite a bit in a few other languages (Turkish, Greek, and German).
Him and Hange are actually childhood friends. Hange had approached him first at recess, thinking that he was picked on like they were, when in fact he just wanted to read on his own. He hasn’t been able to shake them since. Yes, he still has the friendship bracelet they made him in a little box of mementos he keeps in his closet.
He has beef with a professor in the history department, but no one knows how it started.
When he was in high school and as an undergraduate student, he was a part of the hockey team. He ended up as captain in his fourth year and his team had won the championship.
He’s a great cook, as anyone would expect. What’s surprising, however, is his knack for baking. He made perfect macrons on his first try, and yes, it did go to his head a bit.
He's not even a fan of sweets, but he likes to have them around in case someone drops by.
Levi never takes off the necklace that used to be his mothers’ before she passed. It’s one of a handful of items of hers that he still possesses.
His home decor is more on the minimalist side. Despite making a handsome salary from working as a university professor, he still falls into the more thrifty habits from when he was a child.
On this note, Levi is very handy and crafty. Why spend money on someone else to fix something he can do for significantly cheaper? Why buy something new when he can touch it up in an afternoon?
When he texts, he texts with full proper grammar and spelling. It never ceases to amaze and creep Hange out.
Levi loves in acts of service and quality time. He likes to be loved in quality time and physical touch, though he is a bit awkward in receiving physical affection.
He didn't have his first kiss until he was in his third year of university, and his first relationship until he was freshly graduated.
i feel husband Levi would be soo soft so you can give on your opinion on how you think he is and the little things he'll do for you<33
!!!!! husband levi is so!!! So!!!
He’s so attentive but not in the overt and very noticeable way. Of course, when you’re together for as long as you and him are, you can easily tell how much he cares. And it shows in the small things he does, like:
Knowing exactly how you like your coffee/tea/beverage of choice, and always handing you a cup in the morning with a kiss to your cheek and a quiet “good morning”
Always taking your bag to carry it for you. If you want to carry your bag, he’ll leave it and let you do it
He’s very handy around the house - helping you with anything you need in your apartment or with your car. He’s not gonna let you pay hundreds of dollars for a car mechanic or any house repair person when he can do it for you. He does it without you even needing to ask.
Making sure that you take your vitamins / pills / medications on time - either handing you the bottle and some water or sending you a message about it.
His love languages are acts of service and physical touch. He loves in acts of service, and likes to receive love in physical affection. Levi doesn’t engage in excessive public displays of affection, so he’s not going to shy away if you hold his hand or arm, or press a kiss to his cheek. He’d place his hand on your back, or ruffle your hair/give you a head pat. However, he’s much more affectionate at home; holding you in his arms, hugging you, kissing you, etc.
Everything is a discussion and team work. He never expects you to do things 100% of the time, so things like chores at home or financial matters is always the both of you working and discussing together. He's a firm believer in a egalitarian relationship
youre right! pieck is such a good cook. i am ashamed i didnt include her. she's always trying something new too! always like "here, tell me what u think" as she feeds u a little with wide eyes and a smile. she's so sweet.
porco and levi, i feel have like set things they know they're good at making. when they try something new, they dont want u around asking questions and trying to taste until its done.
right!! pieck would be such a good cook AND baker. like tell me the thought of her in a cute lil apron making bread in the kitchen isn't the best image ever. totally a fan of having you around in the kitchen while she works, and likes to make you taste things as she's going.
porco and levi... you're so right. i do see levi as a bit more of a confident cook (he probably spent a lot of time making sure hange was fed when they were in university lets be real agdflasdfg). either way, they both get grumpy if you're in there with them LOL. scold you if you try to taste things before they're done smh just smacking your hand away with a shoo pls. the things they make turn out so good though, so it's worth the scolding.
thinking about aftercare with levi. maybe it was the first time he let loose, maybe he want pretty hard. but he’s just. sigh. so gentle and mindful.
the first thing you feel when you come to are hands gently but firmly massaging your hips and thighs. someone is nuzzling your neck and shoulder, setting a breathing pattern to help you calm down
there’s low voice in your ear pulling you back after you blacked out from that last orgasm. murmurs of sweet nothings and words of reassurances
“you’re alright, pretty girl, i got you”
just him helping you down from your high. making sure you are’t cramping anywhere. maneuvering you into a comfortable position so you can relax and breathe better and just get your bearings back.
draping something over you to keep you warm. maybe helping you into one of his shirts. stroking your hair gently before he gets up and grabs a warm washcloth from the bathroom.
he’s mindful of where you’re sore and sensitive. will still be smirking when you flinch and moan when he gently cleans you up between your legs.
will let you cuddle into him if you start reaching out. if he sees you aren’t exactly back in your headspace, he will be cuddling you gently, spooning you or pulling you to his chest and making sure you feel safe.
lets you follow his breathing
“did so good for me”
makes sure you’re okay. asks you to verbalize it or give him a small sign.
helps you to the shower afterwards. rubs you down and washes your hair. makes sure you’e warmed and cleaned up.
he will also make sure you pee, doesn’t care if you’re all embarrassed. but you aren’t passing out without peeing.
if he knows he was particularly rough, he will rub you down, little massage helping you drift off to sleep
soft hours tonight 👠
👠anon, you are a gift and i love you
no but you are absolutely right.
he is so soft and gentle, wanting to take care of you so you feel better - especially if it was a rougher night or if you are feeling particularly emotional. makes you drink some water and maybe have a snack.
110% makes you pee - he does not care, and he does this everytime after you've had any sexual interaction. he's seen you sick and unwell, he's seen you intoxicated, and he's seen you naked (and let's be real - not all parts of sex, or all sex in general, is sexy LOL). the faster you do it, the faster it'll be over please. very much just "i've had my tongue there and now you're embarrassed? just go"
he's usually pretty quiet, but after having a rougher night or if you're more emotional, then he gets more chatty - whispering so many praises to you.
Hello I am a day late but only now saw your post about wanting something soft,,,,,
I am so incredibly sick rn (shouldn’t be covid, I’m fully vaccinated but if it isn’t over in another day I’ll get tested) with a fever and sore throat and runny nose and you name it. I just want Levi to make me soup and take care of me until I’m all good again 😭😭 He would be so good at taking care of me. And so good at taking my mind off being sick, like “do you wanna play this card game?” “do you want me to read something for you?” “do you wanna take a little walk unless you’re too tired?” and just 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 Curse this man for being fictional and curse me for getting sick 🥲
he would be so. so good for taking care of sick people. he's stern, yes, but still kind. he's not letting you do anything strenuous and he will force feed you medicine if he has to (and if that means he has to crush it up and put it into soup then so be it)
he'd never tell you, but he always gets worried whenever you're sick, literally anyone could tell (hange teases him for it pls). to your face, he jokes about spraying you with lysol lol but internally he's very concerned even if it's just a cold.
makes you tea constantly too. and yeah, he'd absolutely play card games with you and read with/to you too. he'll cuddle with you if you ask - smooths his hand over your hair and plays with the ends. he's not gonna kiss you on the mouth though - but you can expect a forehead kiss... or ten...
