College friend turned boyfriend!Levi, who never hugs ANYONE as a greeting EXCEPT for you.
When you met him everyone in the friend group warned you that he does not like to be touched under any circumstances. But as you two get closer and closer he slowly grows more and more okay with how close you sit to him.
How sometimes you'll nudge his arm after a funny thing he said and then he eventually starts trying to make you laugh. Because he actually really likes how your elbow bumps into his forearm, and the sound of a tiny giggle from his stupid joke. As the months pass everyone notices how Levi chooses to sit next to you in nearly every social outing. How his pinky lingers against the outside of your thigh, how he sometimes hovers a hand behind you (and only you) when walking up a flight of stairs.
And one night, when everyone is super drunk you just... Cling to him. To his arm, lean on his shoulder, hook an arm around him when you need to whisper something to him. And the first time it happens everyone fully expects Levi to shove you away (as he does with Hange on a regular basis). But he doesn't. He just lets you, and there's always a specific fond expression he wears everytime you touch him.
Then you start doing it sober, you hug him as a greeting one time after Hange placed a bet with you. You didn't expect him to let you but he just, stands there. After a few more hugs over the next coming weeks he quickly wraps an arm around your waist as a greeting. And that's when everyone in the group just fucking knew the man was head over heels for you ❤️

Concept: Hange invites you to her Christmas party to come to have some fun and tells you to wear something pretty. You turn up and have a few drinks and notice Levi is there. You try and avoid him because he makes you nervous due to your crush and you are sure he doesn't like you. You bump into each other under the mistletoe and explain what it means, which leads to Levi kissing you and explaining what's in his heart.
Note: Due to being from the UK, I am basing this off UK Uni life as the only thing I know about American Uni life is from movies and I don't want to get things wrong!
You hugged yourself as you slowly walked to the student flats that Hange lived in. You knew she'd taken over the whole hall for a party and she desperately wanted you to come. You weren't sure about it, but in the end you said yes because seeing Hange happy was nice.
You texted Hange you were waiting outside the flat's entrance. You looked at the staircase to see her slam out of the door on the middle floor before running down to you. She opened the outside door and smiled happily as she took you in.
You hurried out of the cold and smiled. "Hey."
Hange hugged you tightly. "Good to see you! I'm so glad you came!
You smiled softly. "Thanks, it's cold out there."
She walked with you up to the flat door. "Did you wear something hot?"
"Hot as in sexy or hot as in keep me warm?"
"Sexy."
You blushed a little. "I wore something nice."
She unlocked the door and let you into the hall. You looked up and down to see people hanging in the hall, room doors were open and the girls living in the hall were moving in and out of their rooms. You smiled at the music not being too loud, but nice enough for people to dance to if they wanted.
Hange led you to her room. "Just put your coat in here. It'll be safe here."
You looked around her room. "Wow, it's so clean."
"Levi cleaned it before you came over."
You blushed hard. "Levi is here?"
She nodded and nudged you with her elbow. "He sure is. Maybe you should ask him for a dance, huh?"
You shook your head. "N-No, I'm good."
"Are you going to get a drink?"
You smiled a little. "Yeah."
She gave you a hug. "You can hide in here if you want a break from socialising."
"Thanks." You pulled your coat off and blushed when Hange squealed in delight. "What?"
She held your hands. "So cute! You look beautiful."
"Thank you." You placed your coat on her bed. "I'll get that drink then."
Hange walked with you. "What are your winter plans? You going home to your family?"
You hummed in thought not knowing Levi was close and listening. "I'm staying here in my halls for a bit longer, then I'll go home."
"Oh cool! We can hang out for a bit and play some video games."
"Sounds fun." You grabbed a drink and smiled as Hange talked about some games you could play. "I'm looking forward to it."
"Me too!" She gasped. "Oh! Moblit is here. I'll go chat with him. Mingle."
You nodded and moved around to chat with those you knew before you walked out of the kitchen and into the hall. You noticed Levi staring at you making you blush and flinch. You looked around and tried to avoid eye contact. You moved down the hall a bit and tried chatting with someone.
You moved again and kept your distance. You had a crush on Levi, but sometimes you got the feeling he didn't like you. He would stare at you for ages, almost glaring. You thought you offended him or something. So, you tried to stay away.
You glanced at Levi and blushed a little at him in a tight white shirt, leather jacket with messy black hair, and tight jeans with rips. You blushed harder at his biker boots thudding as he moved towards you. You turned and moved to Hange's room and hurried inside.
You grabbed your phone from your coat to see you'd only been at the party for an hour. You grabbed your coat and hurried out Hange's room door and slammed into a big chest. You squeaked as you fell back but strong arms wrapped around you just in time.
You gasped and gazed at the person who saved you to see it was Levi. You blushed hard as you stared at him. "Th-thanks."
Levi stood you up. "Tch, you all right?"
You nodded. "Yeah, th-thanks."
"Why are you in a hurry?"
You nibbled your lip. "This is not my thing really. I mean, I do like to party but I have to have the energy for it and I'm just tired."
"Rather be playing video games?"
You blushed and nodded shyly. "Y-Yes."
He hummed and went to ask you something, but changed his mind when he heard people whispering and giggling. "What the fuck?"
You looked up and blushed. "They're talking about that. I should have known Hange would put it there."
Levi stared at the mistletoe. "What the hell is that about?"
You fiddled with your coat. "Well, mistletoe is an extremely deadly berry if you eat it, but it's jokingly said a kiss is even deadlier if you mean it."
He looked down at you. "Kiss?"
You nodded. "It's traditional for people to kiss under the mistletoe. It's a thing lovers do or someone does to their crush. It's like a place to confess. It's just a silly thing around Christmas really."
Levi slipped his hand over your lower back and yanked you against his body. He tangled his fingers in your hair before pressing his lips against yours. He moaned at you and sighed through his nose. He ignored people cheering and others taking pictures. He just kept holding you and kissing you.
Levi nipped your lip a little before pushing his tongue into your mouth. He moved his tongue with yours as he gripped your back tightly. His body tingled in pleasure at finally being able to kiss you after all these months of chasing you around and trying to get you alone.
You clung to Levi's shirt as your breath was taken at such a passionate kiss. You couldn't believe that the man you loved so much for so long was kissing you. You had dreamed of this moment and it was better than you thought. You were happy, so very happy and hoped that he wasn't doing this just because it was a silly tradition.
Levi parted from your lips but held you still. He licked his lips as he observed you. He softly said your name in a deep voice. "I have adored you for so long now. I've been trying to get you alone, trying to get to you, trying to kiss you and finally I have my chance. I want to be with you and I don't want to let you go. I want you."
You blushed hard at Levi's loving words. You admired the adorable blush on his face. "I...I like you too. I've liked you for so long, but I thought you hated me."
"Really?"
You nodded. "Yeah."
"Wait." He stumbled with you into Hange's room and slammed the door shut. "Tch, damn nosy idiots. Sorry, go on."
You gulped hard. "Well, I thought you hated me. You'd stare at me for so long."
Levi ruffled his hair. "Tch, yeah my bad. I uh...I didn't know how to talk to you once I knew I liked you more than a friend. I just gazed at you thinking of what to say and it turned out to be me just staring. I'm sorry."
You smiled softly. "Don't be sorry." You laughed. "I've liked you for a while. I should have said something sooner, but I have no confidence in myself and my looks. So, I kind of shot myself down before I even gave it a go. I'm just not very lucky with love."
Levi cupped your face and kissed you. "Well, I adore you. I want you as mine."
You blushed. "I'd like that."
He cleared his throat. "So, before the mistletoe thing, I was going to ask if I could watch you play some video games."
You smiled a little. "Sure, you can watch me play."
He cleared his throat. "Tonight?" He blushed bright red. "I-I won't try anything! I-I just want to spend time with you a-and watch you do something you love."
You giggled. "I understand. Sure, let's go."
Levi held your hand. "Lead the way."
You dragged him down the hall past teasing shouts and calls. You raced outside and sighed. You looked up at Levi and smiled a little. You blushed as Levi squeezed your hand tightly and walked with you back to your flat.
reader getting her results from her final exams and being congratulated by college bf levi whose smiling so softly, hugs you and kisses your forehead as he softly says 'I'm so proud of you sweetheart' that also sounds a bit husky. he also whispers in your ear, 'I'll show you how proud I am tonight...if you'll let me', causing you to blush in public. later that evening, levi fucks reader so soft in her bed, mumbling how proud he is into her neck whilst he cages her head with his forearms...
Brain empty just this thought...the...the caging with the forearms...
his arms are so veiny, even more pronounced when he's flexing from fucking you slow and hard. He just wants to show how proud he is of you. Treat you to something nice. You worked so hard, just relax and take what he gives you. That's what he whispers in your ear after every gratuitous roll of his strong hips. He buries himself deep inside, similar to the way his tongue does in your mouth everytime he kisses you.
"just lay back, good. Just like that. You did so well. You always do." He speaks words of praise in that husky baritone between his thrusts. He says you're good, but he's so much better.
The graduation ceremony couldn't ever match up to the gratification Levi provides. Why would you need stroll on the stage celebrating your success when Levi could just give you the best kind of gift that very same night?
more college friend turned boyfriend!Levi thoughts because yes
He goes with you to the gym on campus and makes sure no one harasses you (scary dog privileges). He also helps you every quarter/semester to pick your classes and walks you to any counseling appointments you might get nervous for.
Levi always has to point out that your "backpack is fucking open again" and zips it for you with an exasperated sigh. He tends to point out when your shoes are untied too and bends down to tie them for you.
"I swear you'd be completely helpless without me," he grumbles.
If you have any classes together he will take very good notes because yours always end up ineligible somehow and he knows you'll inevitably ask to borrow his again. He even color codes them so you can pick things out easily.
When the group hangs out at bars together, Levi is the designated friend to watch everyone’s drinks for them. If you have to use the restroom? He’ll hover his hand over your glass until you come back.
Additionally, Levi is that guy who has a little mini bottle of hand sanitizer dangling from his backpack. And when you go out, he has a small bag he takes with him that has one too. Yes, he has a travel pack of wipes with him too.
During midterms/finals, he’ll occasionally stop by your apartment to check on you if you hole yourself up studying/working on projects. He brings food, snacks, drinks to get you through the workload. Sometimes if the dishes are piled up in your sink, he’ll make a smartass comment about how there’s too much of a mess to think clearly. Aaaand he’ll proceed to clean them up for you, even if you don’t ask him to.
“How do you expect to live on your own after graduating? Christ,” Levi will chastise. But it’s in a fond way, there’s no bite in the comments. More of a concern for you and his typical thoughts of “where would you be if I wasn’t here?” kinda thing.
But everyone in the group knows all too well that Levi's caretaking tendencies kick in whenever he has a crush on someone. He’s always had them for people he cares about, but it’s even more prominent on someone he likes.
(college bf! Levi) Idk how often I can see this happening, since it is Levi we're talking about here and he's usually very on top of things/keeps things clean/organised, but maybe there comes a time where he just has too much school work to do or he's too tired or maybe feels sad and overwhelmed so hasn't gotten around to it yet so he neglects to clean his room and it gets very messy. Being his friend or even gf and helping to clean his room/get back on track is so affectionate imo.
Okay college!bf Levi who can't keep up with his usual routines because he couldn't go home to visit his mom who isn't doing too well. He's so stressed about her, and it happens during exam season which makes everything a lot worse. He's never like this. Never one to slack on keeping things tidy because cleaning has become such an integral part of his routine.
But after having to cancel his flight due to the bad weather he gets incredibly upset about it. You ve never seen his room in anything but clean until the night you come over to console him. Its embarrassing, and shame colors Levi's eyes when he watches you take in the surroundings.
"It's shit, right now. I know," he mumbles, scratching the back of his neck. "Disgusting-- that I can't even keep this tiny ass room clean."
"it's not that bad," you try, wraoping your arms around him as his head tilts into the sweater clad chest. "I know you don't usually like people doing things for you. But let me clean this. Don't worry about it, okay?"
It takes time to convince him, but after long minutes of stroking the back of his head gently as his deep sighs huff into you; Levi caves. The smallest of nods, and a hum of acknowledgement. Once you start, you refuse to let him help. He cleaned your room so many times. Whether it was because you were too busy, stuck in a bad spot mentally, or anything else--he was there.
So everytime Levi tries to get up out from the blanket you forced him to lay down in, you gently push his chest until his head meets the pillow. He resigns to watching, peering over the edge of the blanket with an apprehensive gaze. And you can already tell when he starts to feel better, as he gets more and more mouthy about your cleaning skills.
When it's all finished, he's pulling you right into the blankets with him and nuzzling into your neck. Levi plants a few kisses there sweetly. A leg a slung over your frame, trapping you against him along with an arm around your waist.
"Thank you," he murmurs into sweet scent of you. A comforting presence amongst the cloud of stress that's been playing him. You kiss the top of his head in response as he relaxes into your hold.
Ik Levi doesn't really get drunk but just hear me out
Drunk college friend Levi who's at a different Halloween party than you and he just really misses your presence!! And he's SMASHED because took Hanges ridiculously spiked cup on accident. It was mixed really well but goddamn he is g o n e. Incoherent words, grumbles, huffing on the couch with his arms folded as Hange and Erwin chat away about god knows what. He tunes in and out of the conversation but he keeps thinking about you, who wanted to go to some other party with your other group of friends.
You said you might meet up later with the three but he wants to see you now!! He likes being around you in group settings. Likes how you cling to him when you're drunk. And now he... Low-key wants to be holding you, or just be near you in some way.
So he pulls out his phone, squinting at the screen until he finds your name to text you.
'where thrf hel lare you'
'hange keeps talkng about dissections I wanan throw up'
You respond not nearly as inebriated but very amused because he's never drunk texted you before. He doesn't like that you told him you're not leaving yet. Asks you to hurry up. When you don't text back quick enough he'll just keep messaging until you do.
Eventually it just turns into you two ignoring the parties completely and getting into your own Convo over text. He never uses emojis but he does tonight because you keep sending a bunch and it's cute. You even send him a selfie of your costume, asking for one in return. He's wearing a pair of kitty ears (it wasn't his choice) and suddenly you REALLY regret not hanging out with him instead. Levi takes a selfie albiet very subtly, snapping it quickly as he holds it in his lap.
(it's an unflattering angle but you don't care when you see a tiny grin on his flushed face)
Erwin is the first to notice the little smile on Levi's face as his thumbs fly across the screen at record speed. He nudges Hange, and they snicker once they catch on.
college besties levi and hange who simps for erwin and moblit, respectively hahaha
hange, being the sunshine they are, is so outspoken about their huge crush on moblit. levi, though, secretly pines for erwin, but hange knows levi too well so they tease levi about it all damn time hahaha
hange became levi's wingman by introducing erwin to levi (bc hange and erwin were classmates in some random class hange decided to take)
well.. hange approached moblit directly.
now they go on double dates together :DD
dfgjksgh why do i get the feeling that hange doesn't even register how much they truly adore moblit until they're knee-deep (chest deep in levis case) in a conversation about him with levi n erwin
"He's just so--! So!! So wonderful. He takes care of everything that I forget about. One time I left my laundry in the dryer for 3 days and didn't notice until Moblit said something when he came over! He even folded it for me and everything! He's amazing. I lo--"
And they kinda just stop mid sentence with wide eyes, staring between Levi and Erwin.
"Did you finally figure it out?" Levi says in the middle of Erwin's knowing chuckle. Hange's flushing and adjusting their glasses in thought, suddenly at a complete loss for words (which NEVER happens).
"Yeah....Yep. Uhhh, I gotta go!!!" Aaaaaand that's when they're immediately stalking off to call Moblit to tell him to come over for "something SUPER SUPER important". Of course, Moblit just thinks it's over something that is actually NOT important dgfkjhfdgj
