Hello! I was looking for an old fanfic i read quite a few years ago on AO3 (around 2017) but I’m pretty sure it was deleted because I can’t seem to find it anymore. I don’t remember the name of the author or the fic itself, but from what I recall, it was a canonverse/ slightly canon divergent fic where Eren confessed to Levi and he reciprocated his feelings but basically told Eren that he wanted to wait until Eren was 18 before starting a relationship. Then time passes and you see them start a relationship on Eren’s 18th birthday and later they have a pretty awkward first time but it’s still very sweet, I also think Armin (or someone else?) gives Eren a sex Ed book at some point? I’m not sure if that helps but that’s all I remember. Thanks for your help!
Is this the fic you’re looking for?

“So I’m old enough to risk my life taking down titans but I’m not old enough to love you?” Eren quips, and while this time he purposefully goes for sassy, his voice hitches up near the end – it’s the first time he’s used the word ‘love’ to describe the emotions he has towards his Captain, but that’s what it is in its purest form, he now realizes: selfless, unwavering love that knows no bounds.
With a short nod, Levi replies, “That’s right.” His expression doesn’t change, but Eren’s sure he must know how ridiculous his demand is. However, he’s well aware that Levi’s not easily swayed, so with a dejected sigh, he drops his shoulders down.
Eight months. Well, it’s still better than a ‘no’.
