Late night (slow burn) thoughts #124:

1.7k words. This is a slow burn story. Like really really slow burning.

No thoughts tonight, just thinking about how you are a gift from Kenny to Levi. After Kenny was found severely wounded, he gave Levi the titan injection as well as you. You were Kenny's redemption.

You knew this day would come. Kenny told you. Kenny had prepped you since he knew Levi joined the Survey Corps. Being the leader of the interior MP, Kenny knew one day he would have to come face to face with Levi, and only one would survive. And he had already made up his mind.

When a short man with dark hair the same shade as Kenny's walked into the bar you worked at at 3pm, you recognised him instantly. Not that it was the fact that you had saw him multiple times on horse back, but it was the way he walked that resembled the man who raised you. You knew your life would change, once again. The bar owner quickly welcomed the captain, thanking him for saving humanity. But Levi only had his eyes on you. He told you to go with him, and you nodded. Then, you left the bar with the man.

The things you had rehearsed for years came smoothly. You told Levi about how Kenny picked you off the street after he left him in the Underground, and how Kenny brought you up in a bar his most trusted friend run, and how Kenny wouldn't shut up about him when he was crowned the "Humanity's Strongest Soldier". Levi nodded, he said "at least he didn't leave you," but you told him "you are his pride and joy, I am his redemption."

Kenny asked Levi to take care of you. Not that you were a child, Kenny wanted Levi to have a family, even though not by blood. Kenny raised you with stories of Levi growing up and the skills he taught Levi. But he made sure you never had a drop of blood in your hands and not a scratch on your skin. Kenny taught you how to escape hostile situations, but he knew you couldn't run forever. He wanted both of you to have each other.

Levi never understood why Kenny gave you to his care. He couldn't understand why Kenny insisted him to take you in. You were a lucky normal civilian who lived in the inner walls. Still, Levi took time and effort to teach you how to use the maneuver gear, and you picked it up after a few days. Levi was surprised at your improvement, but you reminded him you trained under Kenny for years too. You are not an Ackerman, but you weren't a helpless person.

Due to shortage of soldiers, Levi had to take you to the battle fields. To his surprise, you were calm when you saw the titans. And you rode alongside Erwin with no hesitation, charging toward the Beast titan and his group of abnormals. Your sole purpose was to be with Levi. Kenny raised you with his memories of the boy you never met, but knew that you only had him. You knew Levi well, but you also knew nothing of him. He made you a soldier and you obeyed your superiors, you charged into hell.

"That rut is a hard piece of work, but he is soft on the inside like rotten cabbage. When I die, this world is only you and him. Y/N, make Levi a man, not the monster they said of him."

Levi watched in shock as you and Floch dragged Erwin onto the roof. Your face was flushed with exhaustion. You were panting for air as Floch begged Levi to revive the commander. You stood at the back, watching in silence. In the end, Levi chose Armin, and life continued.

.

Levi found some peace in you. The way you talk and the way you held a knife resembled Kenny so much. Even the way you gulped down a mug of water after practice. He felt like Kenny was with him. You exchanged glances a lot but rarely talked to each other. He was your captain after all, and you were just an orphan passed to him.

But things changed when Levi caught you sneaking off with the maneuver gear at night. You told him you were dying in the camp, you need fresh air on the top of the wall. "You needed fresh air too, Captain," you pointed out. Levi was tired to his bones, His eyebags were hanging below his bloodshot eyes and he had lost some weight for his cheekbones to show.

Signing, he knew you were right. He took his maneuver gear too and off you went into the dark. When you both sat on the wall, you exhaled in relief. The cold air in your hair and your face, the crescent moon hiding and showing behind clouds, and the endless outside world.

You said, "Kenny never liked this."

"What?"

"Kenny. He never liked the outside world. Or on top of the walls. He liked being within the walls."

"Yeah?"

"He took me up on the wall once. Wall Sheena. When he had the vertical maneuver gear. He said heights were never his thing and he never understood why you would go out there." You pointed at the titan's territory.

"What would the old shit know about freedom?" Levi signed.

"But he knew he would run into you someday within the walls. He was really proud when he saw you came back in one piece after an expedition. He kept saying "my boy" for a week. He even waited by the gates a few times to watch your return, you know." You tilted your head and watched Levi. His face was a confusion of emotions.

"Tell me more about him please." He croaked.

.

You hang out with Levi more. You were often seen together in the camp. On the roof late at night, on the fields early in the morning, or in Levi's office. Rumours were spreading but you both ignored it. You felt something changed in your relationship with Levi after that night on the wall. And you had seen Levi's soft side just as Kenny told you for years. The man you grew up with did not change much. Although he grew tougher, but he was still Kenny's memory of the little boy you grew up with.

Levi found peace and closure with you. He had wondered for years about his background but he did not ask out loud. He never thought Kenny left the key in you. You do know almost everything about Levi, even the parts he refused to admit to. But you never told anyone about him unless he asked you. He respected you for that.

You filled in each other about the lives you did not live. You told Levi about your life with Kenny and in the bar while Levi told you about his (in pieces) and the news of the walls You never pushed Levi for the things he never said. His life was harsh, you knew that. You learnt to brew tea for Levi during those late nights talks in his office as his insomnia kicked in. You could hardly sleep too, after all the horrors you saw. Kenny raised you to stay calm in all situations, but seeing titans were not in his books.

.

After Levi came back from Marley and Eren ran away to infiltrate the Marleyen's military, everybody was preparing for war. But Levi asked you to resign from the Survey Corps.

"Why? Am I not contributing to the cause?" you demanded an answer.

"You had contributed enough, now it's your time to leave." Levi did not raise his head from the stack of paper work.

"You can't kick me out, Captain. I did nothing wrong and I am willing to fight!"

"I said no. No more questions."

"Levi," you snatched his pen off his hand, "cut this bullshit! You can't make me quit!"

Levi slammed his fist on the table, "I can! I can and I will! I can't have you dying just like that! I promised him to take care of you!"

"And I promised him to be by your side! I promised him you would have a family!" You yelled back.

"Then don't die! Because I can't lose you!" Levi stared at you with tears in his eyes. He whispered, "I can't lose you. I-I, can't lose you." And tears rolled down his cheeks.

Your heart broke seeing him like this, you rounded the table and pulled him into your arms, burying your face on his shoulder. "I won't die, Levi. I promise."

"No, you don't know that. Right now it's not us against the titans, it's us against the whole world. I can't let you die. Yo-you are all I left."

Pulling back, you looked at each other. Your eyes slowly trailed to his lips, and his eyes on your lips too. Moving in slowly, you tested his waters. He tilted his head slightly. Eyes closed, and you lips met. A soft brush turned into a collision. Your lips feeling each other, moving more and more hungry with each kiss. When you pulled back, you both were panting and blushing.

You had fallen in love with the boy in Kenny's memory since Kenny told you about him. The boy had been your companion in every step of your life even when you hadn't met him. And you fell for real when you spent your days when the man who you knew so much but also nothing about. His stoic character, his calm demeanour during crisis, and all his little habits that made him him.

Levi fell for you without him knowing when or why or where. He knew one day that you had taken his heart. You filled the gap he was afraid to look into. You were patient with him. You answered his questions about himself. You knew him in ways he did not because he didn't have the privilege to look into. And you were always by his side, giving him peace when he could not calm himself. He found himself thinking about the past less, and more of the future of no wars.

Levi wanted to stop all wars. And he made a vowed to do it, but he needed you to be there to see it. He needed you to be there with him.

I want to fall in love with Levi.

Maybe love at first sight. The way he walked into the cafe just shifted the whole atmosphere. Heads turned and whispers "it's Levi" echoed in the room. Girls giggling and guys tried to act cool and said hi to him. But Levi merely nodded as an acknowledgement, moving steadily to his group of friends who welcomed him warmly. People got back to what they were doing, but Levi's name came up here and there. People still turned to peak at him but he acted that he did not know it.

You couldn't stop staring at him too. Your work left hanging. Your laptop frozen at the same page, the cursor blinking as if trying to get your attention but failed. How in the 2023 world where there is still one man that you found wearing an ironed shirt on a Tuesday afternoon in a cafe? Levi did. His shirt was neatly tight in, sleeves rolled to his albows and his shoes were clean like brand new. You heard about this man a lot but this was the first time you saw him. And your heart skipped a beat when he walked through the door. You were embarrassed that your head turned 180° from left to right as your eyes followed him from the door to the table. You prayed nobody saw it.

You were certain you were blushing. You couldn't tear your eyes away. Even with the headphones blaring your favourite songs, your eyes kept darting above your laptop screen to peak at Levi. He sat so elegant yet masculine with his cup of whatever-it-was. He looked like he was engaging in a serious conversation but you caught him grinning at one point.

You smiled too. But after an hour or so, Levi left the cafe with his friends. Their table was clean. You saw Levi taking out the trash to the trash can by the door. You texted your bestfriend about him, describing the magical encounter you had with Levi and how you would dump your whole piggy bank into a wishing well just to see him again.

"You are in love, sweetheart 😉," your bestfriend texted.

"Maybe just a lil' crush," you replied.

I have thoughts, but my body is too tired to write :(

This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.

Idk but i think levi is pretty self-conscious about his body.

He had a hard time walking shirtless even in the men's changing room. The other cadets would talk to each other as they stripped off their sweat soaked clothes, waiting for each other in ragged towels barely covering their private parts or not even covering at all.

Whenever Levi wanted to take a shower, he would clear his throat, suggesting that the cadets had been taking too long in the showers. He would only remove his clothing when the majority people had left, and he would 100% cover his private part immediately. He would use the shower furtherest away from the entrance and take the quickest shower ever.

He would always face the wall as he dried off, and turn around only after he wrapped the towel around his waist. He crossed his arms around his bare chest as he walked toward his locker.

Levi had one of the best bodies but he never thought of it that way. Almost all of his scars reminded him of a person he lost during the expeditions outside the walls or at battles. He tried to forget, but their faces were craved into his skin.

But when he was alone with you, your touch soothed his bad memories. "Like constellations," you once said as you traced his skin. He shivered under your touch. He felt safe under your gaze. He gave in when he was in your arms. Only with you, he removed his clothes to feel you more, to touch you more. When he held you tight, he felt your heart beating so close to his, your skin radiating warmth that he didn't realise he needed. Levi loved it when you looked at him and saw him.

Nothing in my head but Levi's sleeping pattern changed when he's with you.

He had a hard time sleeping. He would rather stay up all night doing anything at all, work, domestic chores, or watching the city slowly going to sleep as he struggled to alone with his thoughts.

He would often pass out in whatever he was wearing. He never had any pyjamas or sleeping clothes. He usually woke up on the balcony chair or the sofa. The bed he got was merely a useful decoration. He still changed the sheets every once in a while just to keep things clean.

But when you moved in with him, his habits changed. He started to have sleeping clothes (clothes that you liked to see him in at home), he lied on the bed every day, and sometimes managed to fall asleep with you. He was a light sleeper. Any small noise could wake him up. A distant traffic noise, or a drunk neighbor's slamming the door, Levi would jolt awake.

As time went, the time he woke up in the middle of the night reduced. And he would yawn when it was about bedtime. It didn't cross your mind then, but Levi would usher you to bed and occasionally fell asleep first as he held you in his arms. Your steady breathing next to him was a soothing melody. Without waking up, Levi knew how to hold you close no matter how you twisted and turned in your sleep.

One morning when you woke up first, you watched Levi sleeping peacefully next to you. Shirtless, he was sleeping on his back. He had one arm on you while another on his chest. You realised he no longer slept with his arms crossed on his chest. You snuggled closer to him, and he welcomed you even in his sleep. He loved you even subconsciously.

This is soooo cool i love it too!!

I just had this amazing water color piece commissioned by an incredible artist named Hector Trunnec out of Spain. This is by far the coolest thing I own, and such a beautiful interpretation of Levi. It's better than all of my statues, lol. If I could only keep one piece, it would be this, for sure. I'll have it framed up pretty soon and will post more pictures once I do.

Nothing in my head but there are signs that Levi is in love with you.

Levi was not an easy person to read. The cadets always found him quiet and stoic and strict. There was always a distance between the cadets and the Captain anyway.

But the Captain was a human as well. He had a beating human heart beneath the uniform jacket, and it started beating differently the moment he realised his heart chose you.

Levi was sure his nervousness was obvious on his face when you were giving a presentation on the lastest findings on titans, but all the other cadets could see was a grimace and thought he was hating the meeting.

And it often crossed his mind if you liked tea too. He had never seen you drinking tea (or at least he couldn't recall seeing you drink tea). At the end of one of the smaller meetings where you were attending too, Levi made tea for everyone just so he could study your reaction to his tea. When you grinned and took another sip, his eyes lit up with satisfaction.

And when you were tasked with running errands in nearby towns, Levi would volunteer to join you too as an escort or to "collect information in the towns" quoted Levi. But truth was, he wanted to spend time with you. With you being in Nanaba's team, Levi had close to no reason to talk to you. He had to create the opportunities.

With Levi by your side, you managed to complete your errands smoothly. The folks were extra happy to see the famous Captain in their stores and giving discounts and allowed you to negotiate prices easily. Levi would help carrying the things you bought. Initially, you declined his help, but he insisted and took the bags from you.

As a token of appreciation, you treated Levi to a cup of tea. He ordered a cup of plain black tea while you ordered one with milk. As you took a small sip on your tea, Levi spoke about how he had never had tea with milk before. You lifted your eyebrow with surprised, and offered Levi to try your tea. He hesitated for a moment before he gently accepted the cup and took a sip. The tea was warm and welcoming, sweet with the aroma of milk and honey with the refreshing tinge of black tea at the end.

You were studying his face as he placed the cup onto the saucer. "Well?" You asked. He nodded, "not bad". But all he could think of was you shared a cup, and now tea with milk would always remind him of you. This moment where you sat together crammed on a small table, drinking overpriced tea from delicate ceramic tea cups with saucers, and you beaming like the sun, would forever be that moment where he knew he would love you for the rest of his life.

Nothing in my head but being young, broke college students with Levi in modern Japan.

It has been difficult. I mean you tried to do your hobbies, watch some movies, cook, anything just to get your mind off the stress. But, ugh the stress just can't go away. You just did all of your favourite things with a heavy stone of stress balancing on your head.

And Levi sees it all. He knows you're stressed out. He knows you're doing everything you could think of to destress. But it is obvious that you're not making an progress.

Your head is spinning as you read the same paragraph for the 15th time. You are seeing words but not getting the meaning of it. You tilt your head back, staring at the ceiling as you fight back your tears of frustration. You take several deep breaths.

Levi looms over you. Your eyes lock. His eyes are shadowed by his face and hair but you could still see the beautiful blueish silver that gleams despite the shadow. You give him a sad smile. He closes the space and kisses your forehead. "Let's go out." He breathes onto your skin.

You sign, "I can't, Levi, I have to finish 2 more chapters today. I need to pass this test." You tilt your chin up and is greeted by his lips on yours.

"I'll take care of you, you don't even have to finish college." Levi kisses you again. You giggle. You know he means it. And he knows you are too stubborn to give up. You stare at each other for a moment. You study his face. He's looking at you with all the patience and love you have ever received in your life. He lifts his left eyebrow. You know you couldn't turn him down anymore.

"Ok, let's go out." You nod, and slam the book shut. "Can we get ice cream from the convenience shop?"

"Only the small one, it's late now." Levi pulls you up.

"Maybe a cup of instant noodles too?" You grin as you think of the salty, hot soup in your mouth.

Levi helps you into your jacket and places your shoes by the door, "sure, we can try the new flavour that came out last week."

You slip your palm into his, feeling the warmth of his skin on yours. Levi is always loving like this. Even though you are two broke college students where Levi has to work part time at the coffee shop in the college while you do tutoring for younger children, he is never stingy with you. That's his love. He loves by making sure you are well-fed, warm, safe and happy.

Hand in hand, you walk on the deserted street with the love of your life. You blabber about how you would study twice as hard after you had your noodles at the convenience shop (although Levi knows you will fall asleep as soon as you got home), Levi listens to you, nodding and giving comments here and there, and his thumb gently rubbing the back of your palm, silently showing love in subtle ways.

I recently finished watching the ‘Attack on Titan’ anime, I was inspired and created a fan art of Levi Ackerman.

[moo-blogging]

some stuff about canon levi confessing? I picture he wouldn’t confess in words or something like that, but i’d really like to hear what you think. loved the pda story about him btw. thank u so much

Canon Levi is seen as cold, quiet, stoic, but very observant and caring toward others when you least expected it.

Nobody could tell that the infamously strict Captain Levi was in love. I mean, who had the guts to stare at his face as his eyes lingered on you slightly longer as you marched past him, or questioned that the Captain insisted you to make tea for the entire team and gave minimal comments on how you could improve your tea brewing skills. Not a single living soul saw Captain Levi in his office rehearsing the conversation he wanted to have with you before he sent Eren to get you. But in the end, he only asked you to carry the reports to Commander Erwin's office because he stuttered.

Levi didn't care about what he was wearing. He had his uniform jacket on most of the time anyway. But it caught his eyes whenever you wore a new shirt or a pair of new pants. His brows frowned when other guy cadets complimented your new clothes, but he couldn't bring himself to tell you you looked better in the old light blue shirt you got months ago.

So he did what he did best. He trained you hard. Only when you were dangling on the maneuver gear with your legs lifted from the ground, Levi could bark orders to you freely.

Go faster! Please survive.

Take sharp turns, pull back your strings and push yourself with the gas pressure! Come back with me.

Make sure you check your gas level before you get on your horse. Come back to me. Please.

Levi studied your postures, your fighting habits, and your careless mistakes. His tongue spitted the most venomous words, but his eyes pouring the deepest worries and concerns he had for you.

No, Levi couldn't say those words to you. He couldn't tell you how much he wanted to touch your skin, or hold your hands, or pull you into his arms. But when the nights got extra difficult to go through alone, Levi sat with you in silence. The fire crackling softly. Your mind somewhere else in the skies. Your body felt too heavy to move. Levi sat there, quietly replacing cold tea with warm ones, waiting patiently for you to drink it. And when you did, the warm tea flowed through your chest, and you exhaled deeply. Your shoulders finally dropped and you were ready to take on another day. Levi's heart eased too. How could you realise that he too held a breath for so long and let it go the moment you let yours go too? You wouldn't see how his brows softened when you told him you felt better and his tea soothed your soul. He said "clean up the table before breakfast, brat" but he meant "don't go where i can't follow".

It wasn't until Eren came back and awakened all the titans in the wall, Paradise Island went into a chaotic state. The Yeagerists took over the military HQ and declared that Hange and Levi had died. Heartbroken and shocked from the news, you hid away as they celebrated the beginning of a new era. You wandered into Levi's office, quietly going through his things before those untamed young cadets destroy it for no reason.

Beneath a stack of death certificates of the cadets who used to be in the same tea with Levi, you found a photograph you took in Marley. It was a group photo that Hange insisted on getting. But you noticed that there was a heart shaped hole on where your face was supposed to be. And then it hit you. Levi kept you in a locket and brought it with him to war.

Tears streamed down your face. Your heart ached and you struggled to breath. Grabbing on the edges of the photograph, you blinked the tears away, trying your best to look at Levi in the photograph. His brows were not frown, he seemed relaxed, like he had planned to keep you in the locket all this while. As if he was saying, "you found my secret, brat."

.

When it was all over, and the night sky was bright with stars, you sat next to Levi with his tea brewing by the side. Levi pulled the locket from his breast pocket and gently dropped it in your palm. You knew what was inside, but you were still surprised to see your face untouched even touch the locket was dented. Stuttering, Levi asked "may I..?" He needed to ask. He was a gentleman. "Yes," you needed to tell him because he deserved a clear confirmation. He rested his rough palm on yours. You leaned against his shoulder, and you both exhaled in relief.

The stars had finally aligned.

Nothing in my head, but Levi trying PDA for the first time.

It was snowing. The air was chilly, and the wind stung your face as you braced through the cold. Most of the cadets were back home to celebrate Christmas, but a few of you stayed back to stand by (and of course, without a home to go back to).

Nanaba, Miche, Levi and you were tasked to shop for some extra food for the Christmas and Levi's birthday celebration. Although you insisted that Levi should stay back but he came anyway. You were fresh in your relationship with Levi. Only Erwin and Miche were suspecting you were together, but Levi never said anything about it and you hesitated to tell.

After the cashier rang up everything, Nanaba was busy counting the change, you stood by the side of the road, each hand carrying a bag of goods, staring at the bakery's display window. There was a diversity of cakes, breads, tarts and fruit danishes on showcase. The window is slightly fogged up with the warmth of the fresh baked goods, and the sweet aroma of freshly baked danishes seeped through the slit of the door.

There was not enough budget for a cake large enough for all the cadets that stayed back, so it was decided to settle for butter cookies instead. Miche was paying up for the cookies inside the bakery. You could see his silhouette inside by the cashier, making small talks about something.

Just then, you felt a palm slid into yours. You turned to find Levi standing next to you, staring at the bakery's window as well. Your palm in the thin glove could feel the warmth of Levi's skin. You looked down to make sure what you felt was real. And yes, he was holding your hand in public. Levi squeezed your palm and you looked up at him. He was watching you with his head tilted to the side. "Anything you want from here?" He nodded his head toward the bakery.

"N-no, we've got everything." You swallowed nervously. Levi's eyes bore into yours, "not from the list for the brats, anything you want from the bakery?" You felt your cheeks heat up and you averted your gaze from his face toward the bakery.

"I'm fine!" You blurted out too fast. From your side eye, you could see Levi nodded. Before you could react, Levi took the bag from your hand and turned around. Nanaba, who was standing behind you, was stunned by what she just saw. Levi took another bag from you and walked away. You quietly followed behind. Miche exited the bakery and raised his eyebrows at Nanaba.

Nanaba mouthed "I saw them holding hands!" Miche eyes widened in surprise, shrugged and said "you owe my 5 bucks, Nanaba."
