#HANJI THOUGHT LEVI IS A KID IN therE FIRST MEETING

[glassesntea]

Levi and female!reader developing a relationship (Canon Universe)

Part 1/2

How your foolish idealism land you into the Survey Corp

You were born in a rich merchants family of Stohess. The only girl out of four children, with three protective older brothers and a younger one whom you adored. With all of your cousins being male too, you were spoiled rotten by both your parents and various uncles and aunts.

Your life was carefree, uneventful. You were well loved by your friends, you had various interests.

You loved parties, flirting and going out with boys. Your first boyfriend broke up with you when he started the cadet training, eventually becoming an assigned MP in Stohess. You both left in friendly terms and still meeting each other to chat.

Thanks to him you came to know all the events following the Trost battle. Your interest started to stir.

Then the Female Titan appeared in Stohess.

You lived in an area unffected by the distruction, but the idea of Titans so close to your loved ones disturbed you. And instigated your curiousity even more.

That tiny germ planted in your head by the tales of outsiders, people who can turn into Titans and secrets surrounding the Walls, blossomed after the retaking of Shiganshina and the truth of the world finally unveiled.

While you were reading the newspaper you felt a mixture of rage, exaltation, hope... your lifestyle, all of the sudden, appeared dull and meaningless. You wanted to see these things yourself, wanted to help and free Eldia from the hated Marley.

Whitout telling anyone you fleed one night to enroll in the Cadets Corp, whishing to join the Scouts.

After being shouted in the face by Shadis during the presentation of the recruits...

"Y/S, uh? If I had a penny for all the time I have heard idealistic bullshit like yours, I would be richer than your daddy. What fucking happened?? He didn't buy you the pony you wanted??"

You were summoned in his office the day after just to find Shadis together with your parents, your eldest brother and your former MP's boyfriend. Apparently he snitched on you.

Your parents and brother tried to reason with you, saying it was dangerous, that you were following a blind idealism without caring the consequences.

In the long run they were right on a lot of things. You'll end up thinking about their warnings and concernes often in the years following the Rumbling.

Your ex was equally adamant trying to get you kicked out of the corp.

He said he was worried for you and told Shadis that considering your upbringing you'll have problems recognizing authority and discipline.

You didn't miss the glare Shadis gave him: "I have teached you and countless cadets before you, kid. Are you implying that I can't do my job?"

Your ex boyfriend winced at Shadis threatening tone. In the end you were allowed to stay. They thought you wouldn't last long in this setting and you would come back home soon.

You swore to yourself not to give up.

Military life teached you a lot on discipline, surely it wasn't easy for you to get used to this kind of hardship but your strong will allowed you to graduate with good scores, despite not being in the top 10.

You stood at attention with your fellow recruits, listening to Commander Hanji speech and you were pleased to notice that the majority of your comrades decided to join the Survey Corps.

With other three friends from the cadet's years you were assigned to Varis and it wasn't rare that in some training sessions with the ODM gear Jean Kirschstein, one of the hero of Shiganshina, would tutor you to perfect the movements.

Despite being younger than you of two years you came to deeply respect Jean. Through him you created a friendly bonds with both Connie and Sasha.

Sasha trained you with the rifles and you share with her the things your parents sent you like you did with your bunkmates back in trainings: goods, soaps and other things. There were too much of these, anyways.

She invited you to spend the evenings in her's and Mikasa's room.

Mikasa wasn't as talkative, but she was polite with you and,slowly, she started to warm up to you.

In the mess hall it wasn't uncommon for you and your friends to sit at a table with Connie and laughing to tears over a bowl of soup at some of his stories: especially the ones that involved a livid Shadis punishing him and Sasha for some of their antics.

Floch Forster was another commanding officer you get along with, at least for a little while.

When you were assigned guarding the Marleyan's POW, watching them from your post, Floch passed by and you salute him.

"Everyting's in order?"

"Yes, sir" your eyes narrowed when a prisoner glared in your direction and Floch noticed.

"Don't bother, they are exactly where they deserved to be."

You straighted your shoulders "They'd better remember that, after what they put us through."

Floch nodded, regarding you with a renowed interest "Y/N, right? I'm glad that some people still have some common sense, you are absolutely correct."

It was too long that I had to divide this introduction part in two because I reached the world limit. Why can't I be more succint? T-T next part continue from where I stopped.

If there's anything Levi Ackerman's learnt, is that things never go as expected.

He was born in a place where every day he was put up to challenge. He had lost his mom and friends.

He found it ironic— some kind of tragedy one almost wants to laugh at. Each time he thought he could finally sit back, get comfortable, relax, life showed him how wrong he was for it.

"Farlan and Isabel, right?", Hanji's voice makes him startle. Their words turn to drawings in the air— figments of ice that spiral through the night. "Were they your siblings?"

Levi shrugs it off. It's been a year since that day, but the memories still make his chest hurt. Like a wound that has yet to get closed.

"None of your business.", he says. Hanji looks at him through the corner of their eye, then lets out a soft giggle. He never understood them; — how they could still be light-hearted in a world so heavy. He was harsh and closed-off. They could have gotten offended at him for his distance— shouted at him for being this cold. But they hadn't. They hadn't and, instead, they could only graze him bright smiles in turn.

"You know...", they speak. They're in the headquarters' rooftop, watching the snow. It's New Years Eve; the first one where they can see the yard turn this pristine shade of white. "My father used to tell me that, upon celebrations, our big, big family table didn't start where he sat, nor ended where I was sitting."

Levi raises a brow. He can see their hair, poking out of their hat, dusted off with snowflakes. The slightest tinge of pink that burns on the bridge of their nose.

Hanji continues.

"He said that the table kept going, and going, and going, until it wrapped around the world and appeared right behind him.", they say. "That everyone we knew was sitting there besides us. Grandpa, my mom... even Farlan and Isabel could be there, too!"

Levi scoffs. He can frame the picture in his mind, actually; vivid, and wild, and colorful. He didn't know Hanji's family, but he imagines them, as well; all with their same brown eyes and glasses. The table's filled with food; warm rice, roast-beef, potatoe soup. He can taste the sweet and spice on his tongue, smell the veil of smoke that comes from the kitchen. His mom sits next to him, graceful as she's always been. She wears a white shirt, a silver necklace ducked underneath.

He turns to her and smiles; a small tug at his lips that resembles hers. He's dying to tell her something, to ask her questions, to introduce her to Hanji.

"It's nice, I guess...", they say, once more. They're leaning on the railings, staring over at the skies. "Dad used to say that, in order to meet everyone again, we had to pretend that we were little kids. That it was important for us to believe in magic..."

Levi stays silent; his eyes closed when the wirlwind blows. He had always expected for miracles, back when Kuchel would return home late. He had always hoped for some force to make her warm again. To fill the tiny holes that'd crack his heart.

Now, little there's left of that child he once was. But he can play pretend, as Hanji's father would say. He can see, instead of just look.

Farlan and Isabel bicker over who'll take the spot next to him. There's a bouquet of flowers, front and center, surrounded by dry leafs and candles. He can hear Erwin's voice, as he pours up some wine for him. He can watch over at his squad, who he's proud of, all passing down the plates and drinks.

It's a sight he grows fond of. An image that's warm and makes him bubble up with joy. He feels less alone, now that he's allowed himself to believe. That he's let kid-Levi have this one wish turn true.

"Hey", Hanji elbows him, almost as if to wake him from his daydream.

He blinks at them, still dizzy, and his breaths swirl into white clouds. Now, they'll go downstairs to have dinner with everyone else, and there won't be roast beef or potatoe soup. The table won't have fresh flowers. There probably won't even be wine. Still, he thinks, Erwin will be there. And Mike. And Nanaba. And his squad, too.

They'll light candles, and there will be a trail of smoke coming from the kitchen. And so, when the clock hits twelve and everyone cheers, he swears, he'll believe in magic. He'll be a child all over. He'll see, and not just look.

He'll sit next to his mother, and ask her the questions he'd been dying to. He'll let Farlan and Isabel take turns on the chair besides him. He'll have champagne with Hanji's dad.

It's okay with him, really— that he'll only get to have this, a small portion of them, for the rest of his life. He's finally come to terms with one's own, human fatality. Erwin's the big brother he's never had, Hanji has that same grace of his mother's.

"Beep-boop", they wave a hand in front of him. "Earth calling Levi?"

He rolls his eyes at them.

"What is it now?"

They pout, then drag him by the sleeves of his parka.

"Have you even been listening? We have to get going!"

Levi stares at them, — at how their glasses have almost frosted. Petra tells Oluo that his cravat's ridiculous. Moblit's rushing over with the food. There's the clink of porcelain and the smell of bread. It all floats up to the roof, where they both have been, then fades off with the snow.

He's aware, this year there won't be dessert, or champagne, or his mother, either. But he has this, instead— these people he considers family. A big, big group of misfits that somehow fit together.

He feels less alone, now that he's allowed himself to believe, that love can take shape in such cruel world. This is what kid-Levi would have wanted, he tells himself. The warmth. The company.

"Let's go, then.", he says, and Hanji laughs at him, dragging him further down the stairs.

Truth is, spending New Years like this— being a Scout— comes as a complete surprise to him. That this isn't at all how he expected things to be.

Then again, he figures, however, he's alright with it. This, — Hanji, the family he's found, being a Scout, even—, is the one choice he won't ever regret.

[melishade]

Number 5 please? Specifically, when Episode 1 Optimus earns Levi's trust by the latter seeing his mental breakdown when he realized he killed Reiner.

This ask game

Alrighty! Let's do it!

Levi was hoping for a normal day. But he couldn't ask for that anymore and he hated it. First, Erwin pairs him and Optimus up to go get supplies to 'help boost morale'. He still considered that bullshit. Next thing he knew, he was 'driving' with the titan into town? And the titan just had to be so goddamn friendly with everyone. They had shit to do! But wait! Optimus stops for two kids, but Levi lets it happen because he doesn't like seeing kids get hurt! And fuck him! He finds out that humanity is not extinct and they have to put a single mother and her two children under the Survey Corp's protection!

All he wanted was to clean his room and have some fucking tea!

They did take the family to the Survey Corps headquarters. And Hanji had read the information in the notebooks with ease to the others. As that happened, as more information was presented to the Survey Corps, his comrades grew more horrified at what they were learning. Eldians? Colossal Titans? The Rumbling? Levi could see a gleam in Erwin's eyes, and Levi couldn't help but question his sanity for a moment.

But the titan, Optimus Prime, he face morphed from being stern and calm, to concerned, to perplexed, and then...guilt and terror. Those blue eyes of his just looked so panicked. Optimus quickly left once Erwin dismissed the meeting, deactivating the holoform without another word or even a farewell, but Levi did spot the titan driving into the forest. Levi quickly ran to the stables to grab a horse and follow him. Levi focused his hearing on the unnatural noises of his...engine? And followed the strange tracks in the ground with a lantern. When he reached the end of the track, he saw Optimus' back facing him, but he could see his antennae twitching under the moonlight. Levi peered over to see Optimus' eyes in a clear panic, his hands were raised over his mouth and his battle mask was gone. He looked so devastated.

"...Hey...Prime?" Levi actually hesitated in speaking, but it was enough for Optimus to remove his hands and put his battle mask back on.

"Captain I...," the Prime trailed off, "I need time to myself. Please return to headquarters."

"...You don't look fine," Levi proclaimed, "What happened? What's got you so worked up?"

"...I broke my vow," Optimus answered.

"What?"

"I thought the Armored One was like the other mindless titans in the city that day." Levi could see the stress in Optimus' optics, "I thought their only desire was to consume humans. I had no idea that it was a human when I killed the Armored Titan. But based on Grisha's information, I may have just killed a human child."

Levi could see Optimus' hands trembling. “I swore to protect humanity, but I killed a child without even providing the opportunity to surrender. They might have been brainwashed, forced into becoming a titan shifter. They might have had a family. A mother or a father. I may have ripped a child away from someone. I...broke my vow."

Levi…couldn’t believe it. All this time, he thought that Optimus had a persona, an ulterior motive and was playing the long game to get what he wanted, but he was actually being sincere! Optimus actually cared about others! He was actually lamenting the loss of an enemy soldier! There was no way!

“Holy shit, you’re actually serious,” Levi spoke without thinking, causing Optimus to turn to him, “You actually give a shit. It’s not an act. You’re actually mourning the loss of an enemy-!”

“Who was a child-!”

“And how could you have known that?” Levi demanded from him, “How could you have known a Titan charging at you with intent to take more lives was just a child? You make have killed someone, but you saved so many more lives with your actions.”

Optimus shook his head. “I have no idea of what I have done will lead to positive change.”

Levi crossed his arms and sighed. “It did. I…guess I can say I trust you now.”

“You do?” Optimus sounded confused, “Captain-!”

“You’re doing so much asking for nothing else,” Levi declared, “That’s altruism hard to come by. You saved our home. You did do something good.”

“At the cost of someone else.” Optimus’ eyes closed into a grimace.

“Prime, you did nothing wrong. You acted accordingly, and there are so many people grateful for that.” Levi reassured, “Like that family, like the Survey Corps. So thank you.”

Optimus still didn’t look too convinced, and Levi accepted that. All this information was new to them, and they needed time to process.

“I’m back at headquarters if you want to talk.” Optimus watched Levi turn and grab his horse before walking back to the castle.

(There’s definitely context some people might miss but I recommend reading the Episode 1 timeline on my pinned master list. Optimus ends up killing Reiner.

Anyway, someone asked for 24, but everything else is on the table.)

What would the vets name their boy/girl when they would have kids?

This took me far longer to write than it should have done... Apologies if it's a bit rubbish, I went for more ideas on the types of names they'd like, along with a brief suggestion for most. Would be interested to hear others take on this ^_^

Erwin would give his child a strong, Germanic name – something that would make his father proud even though he won’t say that out loud. Regardless of gender, Erwin would want his child to have a name that means something and that when said aloud elicits certain imagery. Perhaps a shorter name, but one that sounds bright and hopeful, not just strong and commanding. A few thoughts are Jürgen, Klaus, Ilse, Emma.  

Levi would name his child after family, if it’s a girl they’d be named Kuchel. A boy would have the middle name Kenny, but more likely for the first name to be after a friend or one of the Scouts that died fighting beside him. Isabel and Furlan are high contenders.

Hanji – they’d probably give their kid one of the names they’d given to a titan. Or name them after a medicinal plant, a planet or star. Perhaps some names would be Yarrow, Holly, Hazel, Jupiter, Sirius or Andromeda.

Nanaba – Is fond of traditional girls names, something pretty and that reminds her of spring like Rose, Lily, Primrose, Azalea.

Mike – He’s incredibly fond of old names that remind him of folk law and ancient stories, perhaps names that are linked somehow to earth and nature. Potential names would be Rowan, Niamh, Penelope, Finn and Phoenix.

Moblit -Maybe he’d name his kid after Hanji? But probably not, I think Moblit would think about it long and hard and need a lot of input from his partner. I don’t necessarily think he has a specific idea like some of the others do, it isn’t something that’s kept him awake at night or that he’s dreamt of. But I think he’d be fond of slightly more popular names. He wouldn’t want his child or children to be bullied so would want to avoid some of the more complex names. He loves names like Jack, George, Zoe (this also reminds him of Hanji) and Sally.

Petra – Petra would love names which are a blend of traditional meets slightly more quirky or unique takes. Perhaps a double barrelled first name or giving their child several middle names so they can choose which name they want to go by. Ivy-Rose is something she loves the sound of and Archie-James.

Oluo – Definitely would want to name his child partly after himself, not necessarily Oluo junior, but I think he’d want either his name or heritage to be reflected in the name. It sounds obvious too but maybe they’d be a reference to Levi as a middle name, not that he’d want anyone apart from his partner to know this. The sentimental part of Oluo may want to include Petra’s name somewhere.

Gunther – Gunther would want to name his child or children after relatives who were very important to him, perhaps parents or grandparents. But of course, this would only be with the consent and agreement of his partner, in the end the name would be a mix of both their heritage. A few names he’d be fond of include Ulla, Stefan, Hans and Evelyn.

Eld – Possibly the least concerned about the name of their child. It’s not that they don’t care because they absolutely do and they’d love for their child to have a beautiful name, a strong name, a name they could be proud of. But also they are more concerned that their child is happy and healthy, they are simply so excited to be having a child that the name hasn’t really crossed their mind. So they’re happy to allow their partner to make the decision or come up with suggestions and ask his input.

@leastregrets​ asked:  One moment Erwin was behind him, hand on his shoulder as he ran through the introductions almost like he rehearsed them, and then the next was gone when Levi turned around. Sneaky blond-headed bastard. Always leaving me alone with some nutjob.Arms crossed, the new recruit stood with a displeased expression. "What did you say your name was, again?"

Like  always  Erwin  had  wasted   no  time  around  her,  detailed explanations   and  instructions  was  given  in  a rehearsed  fashion  that  hanji didn’t  have  a  time  to  ask  questions  or  raise  a violent reaction.  She  had  just  stood  there  with  awe, slacked  jawed  and  papers  on  her  hand dropping  before   she  snapped  out  of  her  trace  when  a  loud  thud  of  closing door  was  heard.  Making  her  drop everything  and  try  to catch up  to  her  squad leader  with  a loud ‘ Erwin, Wait ‘  in tow  but  it  was  left   unheard,  of  course, like  always. 

Hanji  could  only  sigh  in  annoyance, visibly  upset   that  this  was  not  what  she  signed  up  for  when  she  joined  the corps.  Only  then  did  she  turned  to  the  elephant  of  the  room  when  he  spoke.  Brown eyes  stared  down  at  the  new  recruit  with  curious  glint. 

Why  is  erwin so  fixated  with  this guy ?

“ Hanji Zoe,  Yours  was Levi  if  I  didn’t  misheard  what  he  said, right? “ She  stated  with  a smile, hands  reaching  out  to  have  a handshake  with  him. “ Looks  like  your  under  my  care  for  now ,  hopefully  you  won’t  be  a  trouble  at  all,  so  where  did  you came  from again? It’s  unlikely  for  erwin  to just  snatch,  a small kid  on  his  way  back  home.“

Hello, I have yet another request! So Cold Captain Levi X cadet reader where they don't know each other well (pre relationship) but he finds out she's been having trouble sleeping because of her lagging in training and late night trips to the mess hall so he orders her into his office and he lets her use his bed whilst comforting her to sleep. Fluff, angst and hurt/comfort as always. Hope that's okay, thanks :)

I'm so sorry this took so long! I love these pre-relationship ideas...might continue this later if I figure out how! Thanks for your request and I hope you enjoy!

Levi Ackerman x Reader: Late Night Comfort

"I'm not telling you again. Get that-" he pointed to the teddy clutched against your chest.

"-Off my bed" Levi crossed his arms, glaring down to the little black beady eyes of your plush. It set him on edge for some reason. Just unsettling but you found it hilarious.

"Captain...are you afraid of Tuffy?" You asked, biting back a giggle. He gave you a stern look in response. Currently, it was near midnight and you're in the private barracks of Captain Levi. You're in your sleepwear and stiffly sitting on the edge of your Captain's rarely used bed. Levi's standing at the foot of the bed back at you with an unamused expression on his face. This arrangement was something strange to the two of you, something made up on the fly and something unexpected. You've been falling behind and training moving slower and in your technique became sloppy. It wasn't difficult for Levi to figure out that this was due to exhaustion and the dark circles growing under your eyes only help to support his suspicion. Sure you weren't exactly the best out of everyone but you were a strong fighter. The minute you started falling behind in the simplest of tasks of, course it was going to draw attention to you.

You've been with the Scouts for over a year and a half now, and unfortunately night terrors and intrusive thoughts have caught up to you. You've heard stories of other Scouts waking up in the night from their nightmares, trembling out of fear only to relive it the next day. You heard that their night terrors come early on but yours have varied. You started with the Garrison once you graduated from the Cadet Corps and served there for another two years before transferring over to the Scouts. You were there fighting during the Battle of Trost, where is Sector Commander Hanji and you teamed up to protect a group of kids trapped by the rubble from the wall and surround by Titans. They took note of your skill and were further impressed when you place yourself on the front lines to help make sure that Eren could seal the hole and save Trost. It wasn't long until the enthusiastic scientist told the commander about you. Erwin was impressed by your reputation and quickly scheduled a meeting with with Commander Pixis to see if transferring you to the Scouts was an option.

So now you find yourself with the Scouts. You were placed under hanji supervision, joining their squad much to the brunette's excitement. Your first expedition went smooth. Your skills were impressive to everyone and help to settle anyone's doubt about you. It wasn't until your third Expedition that things became a living nightmare. You witnessed what was the cause of other Scouts night terrors. You saw things that never should be seen and heard things that never should be heard. You had lost friends, hearing them call out to you seeing they're scared and mad looks. Those images were burned into your brain but there was more to come once you returned inside the walls. Having to tell friends and family about what happened, returning nothing more than just the patch on their jacket sometimes. Their expressions, words, and actions hurt just as much as what you witnessed on the battlefield.

All of that has led you here, back inside the dark room of the raven-haired captain. The way you to see him after dinner scared you. You didn't remember doing anything that could have landed you in trouble. But then again your mind was foggy due to lack of sleep. You run your hands out nervously as you knocked on his door and he called you inside. The only thing he said once the door closed, was to dress in something more comfortable and bring a pillow and anything else that you might want to sleep with. Then he dismissed you and you left following his orders and returning moments later. He helped him work through paperwork, hardly saying anything to each other. Minutes grew into hours and finally when the stock was low almost touching the desk, he opened the door revealing his attached bedroom.

Levi's eyes were fixated on the small teddy. It's black beaded eyes were off settling to him but if it helps you sleep then so be it.

"I'm not afraid of a small toy. But if this is the thing that's keeping you up at night, I'm throwing it out the window" he scoffed. His tone was playful not matching the annoyed look of his eyes. You relaxed a little bit more and scooted further back up the bed. Your exhaustion was evident, part of the reason why Levi showed you to the bedroom. The chamomile tea that he had prepared for you while you both worked through his documents has started to take effect now. You were hesitant to lie back and get comfortable. He knew that Levi hardly slept as it is and you didn't want to be the reason why his precious few hours of sleep were interrupted.

" I'll be back in my office for the night. I still have work to get done and you have sleep to catch up on" he says before going to go back to his office. You call out to him and he stops, turning back to look at you with his eyebrow raised. Words died in your throat, you wanted to tell him that you were worried about sleeping, about the night terrors that haunted your mind as you slept. But it seemed pathetic. You're soldier for crying out loud, you fought Titans for a living and yet, you're afraid of the dark. Levi waited patiently for an explanation from you, he could tell you were distressed by your body language. As moments past and you still weren't able to say anything, Levi shut the bedroom door and moved to sit on the foot of the bed. You looked up at him, eyes on his face for a few seconds before they return to your lap and you played with your shirt. Levi sighed, breaking the silence and his posture relax slightly.

" What's going on Kid?" He asked. The harsh bite in his tone was gone. He had a good suspicion but he wanted you to confirm it first.

"The night terrors have started and...I-" you started before your voice failed again.

"Scared?" He finished for you and you nodded. He didn't laugh, he didn't smirk, he didn't do anything to make you feel embarrassed. Instead he seemed to understand.

"You keep reliving it don't you? You see everything again. Some things are how you remember it, other things are a mash up of memories" he described it and it matched exactly how you were feeling. It was like he was able to go into your mind and see the things you were seeing. But he's been a Scout longer than you, this isn't new to him. Everything that you've heard and seen is something similar to what he experienced.

"Does it get better?" You ask quietly, hoping that he would tell you the lie that you keep telling yourself. That everything gets better. But maybe if he said it, it wouldn't be a lie. It would be the truth. Levi stays quiet for a few moments. Searching for the right words, he doesn't want to give you a false hope but he also wants to do something that will hopefully ease your mind.

"It will become easier to endure if you have people to go to. I've tried keeping this to myself. I've tried ignoring the dreams, I've tried avoiding sleeping which isn't that hard to do but I don't want you doing that" he emphasizes that point. He pauses again. When he speaks, his voice comes out quiet. "I can be someone you can talk to about your nightmares" he looks at you.

"I think I like that plan" You smile a little and lay back under the cover. You're tense posture has relaxed and you feel comfortable. Levi isn't as scary as everyone paints him out to be.

"You're going to sleep now right? I still have work to do" he teased lightly.

"Maybe" you yawned a little, shifting onto your side but still facing him.

"You don't need to keep looking at me. If it'll make you feel better, I'll stay here until you fall asleep" he offered and you nodded. You closed your eyes and your hand rubbed your teddy's paw as you tried to ignore that dread slowly building in you.

"I told you, that toy will go out the window if you keep playing with him" Levi's voice appeared again and you relaxed again. Hearing his voice was very comforting and made the dread fade.

"Not playing. It's a calming thing" you respond and he scoffs. He had picked up on your distressed behaviour again which is why he started talking. He hated sleeping when he was younger but if he heard his mother's voice, talking about everything and anything, he would be out in seconds. So he figured he would try it out with you.

"Next time you see Connie, I need you to send him to me. We've had a bunch of stray cats coming here. I have a feeling he's been feeding them" he continues talking about random snippets of things he did earlier or what he witnessed.

"Four-eyes has a butterfly land on them today and they lost their crap. I don't know how the little creature was able to be around them for so long"

"Sasha's going hunting tomorrow. There's a good chance that there will be a little bit of meat for dinner tomorrow night"

You slowly felt yourself falling asleep to his voice. You smiled softly, curling up into your sleeping position as his voice faded and you were pulled into a peaceful sleep.

"Thank you Captain" you murmured and he smiled a little.

"Anytime kid. Sleep well" he waited a few minutes to make sure you were sleep before going to finish his work.

Before he was going to try and sleep on the couch, he came to check on you. You were still sleeping away peacefully. He left the door open a crack then settled on his couch.

If this arrangement worked for you, he wouldn't be opposed to continuing it. If any of your night terrors were to happen, he would be there to help you. He enjoyed your presence so it would be a win on both sides. Who knows...maybe you could help him sleep better too.

✩ armin gives you random things he finds. armin likes to go out and explore, with or without you. when he comes back after an adventure you opted out of, he always has something for you he found. a rock, a seashell or a cool flower are just some of the things he gets for you. if he can’t find something, he finds a gift shop to get you something instead, saying, “well, (y/n), i did find it in the gift shop.” he always looks so proud giving it to you, rambling about the story of how he found your gift. you have a small box tucked away with all the treasures he gives you.

✩ jean steals your things. whenever he comes over, he likes to mooch off your possessions. if he’s spending the night at your place and needs a shower, he’s using your shampoo, conditioner and body wash. if his lips are chapped, he swipes your lip balm to use on himself. one time you even walked in on him trying your mascara and lip gloss. another time he had your clothes on his giant frame. but he always replaces whatever he uses, venmoing you within the next few days with some cash and a sorry note. “sorry for using ur lip balm baby, buy some more <3” with $20 attached to it. you tell him that lip balm doesn’t even cost that much, but he tells you to treat yourself to lunch with the extra money.

✩ connie makes plans without letting you know beforehand. at 3am, you are woken up by an influx of messages and calls from your boyfriend. in your sleepy state you go to answer him, only to be told to get dressed and come out. he’s right outside of your house and hungry. you remind him it’s very early in the morning and you both have class. “but i’m hungry and craving burgers,” he repeats. you have no choice to get in the car with him. this can happen throughout the day, not just early in the morning. one time he whisked you away in the middle of your online class because he didn’t tell you he bought tickets to a movie showing in 30 minutes. the memories you share on these spontaneous dates are always your favorite ones with him.

✩ erwin buys you whatever you like in bulk. it’s not even an exaggeration when you say bulk. you mention one thing to him, and the next day there are boxes upon boxes sitting on your kitchen counter. “these oranges taste pretty good,” you mumble to yourself as you peel your 2nd one. erwins sharp ears hear this, and first thing in the morning he’s off to buy multiple bags of your supposed favorite oranges. it takes you days, sometimes weeks, to finish whatever he decided to buy you. you always tell him he doesn’t need to buy so much, but he never listens. though, you always appreciate how attentive he is to your likes and dislikes.

✩ levi cleans up for you and ruins your organization. it’s always a blessing when someone else decides to take on the burden of cleaning for you, and you thought you hit the jackpot with a boyfriend who loved to clean, clean, clean. but it could get annoying when you suddenly couldn’t find anything you placed anywhere. if you’re anything like me, you’re messy but organized. you know where things are. when levi comes to clean, he places things where he thinks they should go. you’re sent on a wild goose chase looking for your pencil case, only for it to be in a completely different drawer than the one you usually kept it in. despite this behavior, it’s always nice to come home from a long day from school to see your desk organized. what was once a mess of papers and other supplies have been filed into their correct places, the table wiped down from any lingering coffee stains and your supplies being organized in a way so you knew where everything was. sometimes there’d be a plate of fruit with the note, “good luck on your exams,” written in your boyfriends neat writing beside it.

✩ reiner coddles you too much. whenever you express any sort of discomfort, reiner is always rushing to your side. “are you hurt? do you need medical attention? how many fingers am i holding up?” he asks, checking you for any cuts or bruises. thank you, honey, but i’m fine. just bumped into the counter. despite that, he’s dragging you over to the bathroom to fix up your imaginary injuries. you always find it a bit much when you’re fine. it’s during the times where you’re actually hurt where you learn to appreciate it. he’s so gentle cleaning your cuts, kissing them softly once they’re dressed. you wonder if he’d be like that with your future children.

✩ bertholdt is too nervous around you. it’s been years since the two of you got together, and he still refuses to make eye contact with you. his hands get sweaty and shake when you attempt to hold his hand. he always stumbles over his words when speaking to you as he tries to find the right words to say. he even blushes when he introduces you to other people as his significant other! you remind bertholdt over and over again that he doesn’t need to be so shy around you. but you cant help but coo over him showing up for your date, flustered mess and thrusting flowers into your hand. “they reminded me of you,” he said quietly, refusing to meet your eyes. you giggle and press a kiss to his hot cheeks.

✩ porco is too cocky for his own good. he’s always parading around the house, boasting about his latest achievements. he beat colt in a video game colt was a supposed god in. he can throw a baseball farther than zeke. he can run faster than pieck. if he’s taller than you, he's always making fun of you for being shorter than him. if you’re taller, you’re not exempt from his wrath either. he’s boasting about how he’s perfect height to not hit his head on doorways. he never goes as far as to hurt your feelings, always knowing when to stop. though he has a big ego, he would let it crash and burn just to see you smile after beating him at smash bros. you laugh and taunt him, happy you beat him in one thing. he doesn’t mind, instead watching you with a soft smile on his lips and love in his eyes.

✩ zeke forces you to work out with him. and it’s not like in the afternoon to help you stretch out. it’s not light yoga or a couple minutes on the treadmill. no, this man wakes you up at ass crack in the morning to take you on a 5 mile hiking trip. you barely have any time to register what is happening around you before you’re already standing at the start of the trail with your gear. “come on! we can’t slack off!” he says, clapping his hands together. the sun is beating down on you and your feet hurt, but this man doesn’t let you stop for a break. “we’re almost there,” he says. your complaining goes out the window when he shows you the view at the top. its one of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen. hiking up long ass trails to see beautiful views with your boyfriend was so worth it in the end.

✩ colt accidentally turns your dates into babysitting sessions. you show up at his house with the promise of a good time, only to be met with a guilty looking colt and his little brother falco behind him. “sorry,” he says sheepishly, “gabi got sick with the cold, so i couldn’t drop him off there. i hope you don’t mind him staying.” you hide your disappointment behind a wide smile, nodding enthusiastically as to not hurt either of their feelings. you just wanted to spend some alone time with your boyfriend, and it would have to wait. hanging out with falco wasn’t actually that bad. the three of you had an amazing time together, watching tv, playing games and even baking together. if you hate kids, you can’t bring yourself to hate falco; he’s just the sweetest boy you’ve ever met. you and falco are already asking colt when the three of you can hang out again when you have to go back home.

✩ hanji is always talking. you don’t discourage them from talking about their interests. they’re very passionate about the things they love, and can’t help talking about them. its like the scene where hanji kept eren up all night talking about titans. when you’re trying to focus on something or go to sleep, hanji is just yapping away. you’re honestly amazed at their ability to never run out of things to say about the most mundane things. hell, one time they talked for an hour and a half about a building color they saw when they were out one day. but hanji just looked so happy when talking. their face would break out into a huge grin, and their arms would fly around as they told their story. it was too cute for you to tell them to stop.

✩ mikasa hovers too much. every corner you turn, every place you go to, mikasa is following. she claims she’s not clingy, but in reality she is. it’s like a cat who hates affection, but needs to be in the same room as you at all times. you don’t mind her following you into the bedroom or living room or kitchen. you had to draw a line when she tried to follow you into the bathroom. even when you’re out, she’s always following you around. you tell her it’s okay to break off from you and spend some time by herself, but she always shakes her head and follows you to your next destination. you’re always grateful for her hovering when a group of drunk people try hitting on you, whistling and telling you they’ll give you a good time. but one look at your girlfriend who showed up from out of nowhere, and they’re running away with their tails between their legs.

✩ sasha eats your food. she can’t help it. she likes to snack. she’s always hungry. and you get that. to stop things like this from happening, you have separate places to keep your food. just so sasha and you have your favorite snacks and takeout separated. you respect the rule, but your girlfriend seems to lose her reading skills when hungry, one too many times you have walked in on her with her hand deep into a bag of your chips, something you’ve been waiting to eat all week when you were supposed to watch that new horror movie on netflix with her. you huff and puff and retreat to your bedroom. sasha comes back after a few hours, looking upset with tons and tons of snacks in her arms. “i’m sorry i ate your chips,” she frowns. she sets down all the food she got on your bed. “i got all these snacks you liked as an apology. and 3 bags of your favorite chips.” you could never stay mad at her cute face.

✩ annie complains about spending time with you. “i like my alone time,” she says, brushing you off when you asked why she didn’t want to watch a movie with you. some people were introverted, preferring to spend time by themselves rather than with someone else. you were like that too; you had your moments where you didn’t feel like being around your girlfriend. but it became an annoying problem when she constantly shot down your attempts to hang out with you. when she finally agrees, she’s always finding something to complain about. but during important dates or when you’re not in the best mood, she’s always the first to remind you or initiate a hang out/date. she shuts her mouth and enjoys her time with you, not one criticism or groan leaving her lips. she would never admit it, but being around you made her so happy.

✩ pieck is always sleeping. you have to wait a few hours to get a text or call back from pieck because she’s always dozing off somewhere. “sorry sweets,” she yawns into the mic, “was taking a nap. need something?” good luck trying to reach your girlfriend during an emergency. when you come home with takeout for dinner because neither of you wanted to cook, she’s sleeping at the dinner table. when you’re watching a movie she wanted to watch, she’s snoring away, curled up at the end of the couch. during lectures you share together, she has her head in her arms and has the audacity to ask you for your notes in the end. and it’s not like she’s not getting enough sleep, no. she gets her recommended 8 hours of sleep and then some. it’s nice to have a sleepy girlfriend, though, when you’re dead tired from living. you drag your feet into the bedroom to see her about to take her nth nap for the day. she notices your zombie-like state and opens up her arms for you. the two of you cuddle and nap together, sleeping the stress away.

kiss my wounds

ever since you were cadets, the Ackerman was fond of feeling your subtle touch against his injuries.

pairing: levi ackerman x reader

genre: angst. light fluff.

warnings: manga spoilers. s4 spoilers. don’t read when you’re not updated with the manga. cursing. mentions of death. blood.

word count: 2087 words

angel: inspired by this cover.

Of how the war and chaos could settle a burning turmoil never made a sense within your heart and mind. Every scar, every cut, every drop of blood that has been shed seemed to be pooling up along the unbearable weight of being the only ones left, and it teared you apart.

It teared you apart to see how broken your lover is, to fight for the one last promise he made for the commander.

The warm liquid that cascaded down your face trailed below your chin, finally dropping onto the spare cloth that you and Hanji used to clean the captain’s wounds up. Sniffling, you let your clean hand caress the cheek of the man you love, still beyond amazed and hurt— such a strong man to survive such injuries, such a strong man to make it against a formidable enemy.

“What have you done?” You whisper, pressing soft kisses against the cuts that carved through his porcelain skin, admiring how peaceful he looks while he is asleep. His pain was everything you wished you could carry for the man, he has swum up against waves of sorrow and despair, despite a myriad of reasons to let the current win.

Levi kept his eye closed while he drowns within the feeling of your subtle touches, every thought that fleeted above his head ever since Zeke turned every comrade into a titan had ceased when you came to him. His home came to him. You are his every meaning of an angel, and no matter how hard the man had tried, he cannot seem to fathom why someone like you would fall in love with someone like him.

And everyone knew. You are the captain’s lover, an angel who found paradise in the depths of hell.

Prior to the events that fan the flames of the havoc that claimed so many lives in Shiganshina, you decided to serve for the people and seek for answers behind the colossal walls that kept you away from what felt like freedom. You wanted to be a person who’s not just known because you are good with kids as you often assist Dr. Yeager with his young patients, thus you joined the survey corps. Keith Shadis’s term as the commander honed your capabilities as the strict man’s terrifying aura made you scared to succumb to death. That man was scarier than death.

Meeting the man whose stares feel like daggers across the skin was never an issue for you. You were both cadets, both newbies, both soldiers, but you had different objectives. His narrow, grey eyes never shed intimidation whenever it occasionally meets your gleaming ones. Stares of judgement and chagrin had always burned a hole behind the man’s back, and you never understood the reason why soldiers did that to him. You never rode along the distorted prejudice against the people who came from the Underground.

It was in the middle of an expedition, when you first had a real conversation, under a massive tree that is surrounded by titans who reached for the both of you above the branches. As a cadet, your heart thumped like crazy, being cornered by titans and having no one but the grumpy man beside you who sat calmly as if you were alone.

“Shouldn’t we go?” A shaky breath followed your suggestion while your hand, clenching the sword trembled in fear.

“Stay still.” His stern voice did not help in calming you down. To be honest, it only made things worse because he reminded you of the commander. The leaves and branches of trees are a better sight than staring down and taking a peek on the titans’ salivating mouths, you subconsciously look beside you, seeing the gush of blood that trickled from a cut on the back of his arm onto his elbows.

Your mouth slightly parted when you saw that his brown jacket was teared, and his crimson blood stained the purity of his white shirt underneath. His struggle to reach the wound provoked you to grab the kit away from his hands and sit down beside the man.

“Hey.”

“Stay still.” You murmur, gently cleaning his cut while wondering where he got it. He is too good to be attacked by a titan, did he cut himself on a sharp branch? That can’t be, that’s lousier than getting bitten by a titan. Your fingers did magic on the cleaning of the wound, and the sudden action of kissing his bandages���the way you do to the kids you have once treated. Levi never really would have let your filthy hands and lips near his exposed flesh had he been able to reach the spot. If he gets infection the next day, he knew, he swore, you’d be the first to be taken down.

A small smile formed on your lips because of the sudden recollection that you had. You wanted to laugh because you considered it as your first real conversation, when you literally did not talk about anything. Just staying still.

He became squad captain earlier than you thought, Erwin eventually became the commander, and you were under the former’s squad. Having not so many soldiers under the survey corps offered everyone the chance to be close to one another, you found no meaning with letting someone feel out of place, and so you tried your hardest to make everyone feel like they are a part of the team, at least a part of your considered team.

The expeditions were steppingstones that gradually lead you both to a path that only you could go to. Barriers that hinder you and him to have a real conversation wore off every moment you’ve got with him. Little by little, you opened up to each other, it was the little steps that you both took whenever you got the chance to, but it was not in your plans, it never was. The both of you happened so unexpectedly, that you still could not believe it until now.

“What do you think about tea?” He casually asked, waiting for Erwin’s signal to forward.

You shrugged, furrowing your brows because of his sudden random question, “Tea is. . . fine?” You swore, the impulse of rolling his eyes because of your answer has reached your insides, you knew he wanted to roll his eyes at you.

“Then, let’s have tea after this.”

“Okay. But isn’t fresh juice better?”

“You’ve got a shitty taste, you know?”

The captain’s heart grew fond of your presence, and the both of you were totally naïve and clueless. Everything felt normal but there was something new about it, every day, you wake up feeling the inspiration that blasts through your veins. But there was one thing you were sure of, tea tasted like hope.

“Where did you get this?” You asked him one time, cleaning the little wounds that painted the skin of his knuckles. His office was always equipped with the first aid kit you had prepared for him, the smell of him and tea is surrounding the only being that smelled like vanilla—you.

He shrugged his shoulders, taking a sip from the cup of tea that rested on his table, beside the paperworks that is the reason for the dark circles underneath his eyes that never went away. A hiss left his lips when you accidentally pressed hard on one of the deep cuts, and you smiled sheepishly at him.

“Did not mean to.”

“Kiss it.”

His wounds became slightly better each day you wake up. The routine never changed—cleaning the cuts, holding his hand, kissing his wounds. You know your man is itching to fight, but he could not because of his current situation, and so you stayed beside him no matter what, even until the alliance was formed and you thought of yourself as nothing but a plain soldier who is in love with a powerful man.

The deaths of people whom you both were fond of carved cuts against your hearts, no one deserved to be entwined with a chaos like this. Levi deserves better, you knew that.

“We have to kill Eren?” Shocked, your fingers softly grasped Levi’s, longing for the comfort that dwells within every piece that belongs to him. The conversation that night made you wonder how things changed so fast, how the time fled like it was a bird who demanded to be free, how you’ve lost so many people just to fight for the freedom you’ve sought for.

The captain’s lips feels like home. His burning kisses never fail to put you under a trance, the searing touches of his calloused hand were so possessive yet gentle against your skin. Every caress, every grasp, every breath that came from him were puzzle pieces that built you up perfectly.

“Marry me.” His form embraced yours as if you have known each other for a thousand years. Foreheads touching, his warm love envelopes your soul with nothing but pure passion. Your love was extremely unexpected, unknown, and it demanded to be felt.

After the battle of Shiganshina, you both have realized a lot of things, a lot of feelings you could have fathomed a lot sooner, a lot of words you could have said before the people who were once with you both had completely gone afar. You both could never forget the ache that almost made your worlds shatter when you could not find each other after the battle, the same question filled your brains and your hearts almost stopping. What would I do without you?

“I’ll marry you.”

Hanji’s death was a big slap to your souls, and never in your life had you felt so empty. The pain of hearing them say what Erwin always does will always remain within each crevice of your heart.

Your soft kisses are heaven against the captain’s broken skin, and for all the years he has loved you, he never knew that he could love you even more. The strength you exhibit burns with so much passion, and even with multiple injuries, you still look as beautiful as when you first kissed his scars.

The rumbling was so destructive, that it would destroy you while you are still alive. And you love your husband so much, you would rather have yourself destroyed than seeing him crushed in between the teeth of a powerful titan. And heaven knows how everything slowly settled down like ashes of faded dreams, like snow that piled like embers, like a wild fire that eventually ended after a series of destruction.

You almost made it home.

Levi Ackerman fulfilled his promises to you and Erwin, slaying the beast titan and guiding his brats back to safety, no matter how much it took the man—a word will always be a word.

He never really understood why he had to live when what all life does is to submerge him into enormous waves of misery after leading him on through hallucinations of heaven. Torture was nothing when people he loved the most had to leave him alone, bearing the weight of being the only one left. And so the Ackerman thought that maybe, perhaps, he was given the chance to live just so he could feel how you would love him in his scars, the way he had hated them.

And he would choose that over a lifetime of glee where you do not exist.

“Really, heichou? You both realized in Shiganshina?”

He scoffed, “Brats. You know what happened back then, everyone fucking died,” The captain stared at the clouds that filled the sky, reminiscing about the battle of Shiganshina that happened several years ago, answering the curious questions of the people of alliance who made it back with him as they sat in the teashop he had always dreamt of building. “So I thought I lost her, I didn’t want to listen to my mind. . . and that was when I knew.”

Everyone who made it so far often wonders.

“That I am so in love with her.”

Of how the captain would stay beneath the amber glow of yesterday and admire the wedding ring that rested against one of the three fingers that has been left since the explosion. The searing pain of having the little ring as the only thing that is left as yours, and the melancholy that grew in the depths of his steel grey eye fought along every fragment of the broken war that lingers above the clouds. Against the world, he stands alone. Against the burst of the wind, he feels your lips.

Levi x Reader: Drunk Love

WARNING: NSFW!! Levi stood there, completely nude, in front of Erwin and Hanji as he covered his stuff while avoiding their gazes. His cheeks turning pink with his hair messy with fly-aways in every direction and his body covered in bites and hickeys. Erwin stood in Levi's living room, not amused, while Hanji was laughing until she was in tears.

"Sooo...you wanna tell me why you are...?" Erwin trailed off.

"I dunno....I-I...just woke up like this...."

"You were drinking last night, huh?" Erwin asked, more like stated.

"A little...." he mumbled, then clicked his tongue.

"Woooow Levi~!" Hanji laughed more.

"Shut up" Levi slightly growled as he tried to remember his actions last night.

~flashback~

Levi sat at a table in a bar with a few of his friends and co-workers, passing time and attempting to get away from the stress of work. Eren, who happened to be one of his best workers, offered him some food while drinking his drink. No sooner did another song start to play, a familiar woman entered the bar with Mikasa.

"I've never been in a bar.” Mikasa stated.

"We can't buy alcoholic beverages so we can just have water and some food. Give us some free time from all the work we've been asked to do." Y/n replied.

She nodded in agreement, looking around at her surroundings only to see the men at Levi's table looking towards them. Truth be told, Y/n and Mikasa worked in the same building as Levi, just on different floors. The two had met on a few occasions and even had small talk in the elevator whenever they were going to the same floor for meetings, but never actually got close to one another.

Levi glanced at the two as they came in and made a bit of a face. "I guess they're getting the same thing you are, Eren." He smirked behind his glass as he looked at Eren's drink suited for him being underaged. Eren pouted and gave somewhat of a glare towards his boss. "If you weren't my boss, and I wanted to not get fired, I'd slap you like I do Horse-face." He mumbled in his glass of apple juice.

"You sound like you're plenty drunk on apples," Levi stated as he set his glass down. "Now you finally have a chance to talk to that girl. I've seen you eyeing her at work." Hearing his comment, Eren did a spit-take with his drink; coughing and pounding his chest a bit. Once he got his breath back, he looked at Levi like he grew two heads.

"Are you insane or drunk?!" He slightly yelled in a whispered tone.

"I'm neither. You shout about being better at your job than The Titan Company down the road but you can't even talk to a girl."

"Yeah?! W-well what about the girl you stare at?! You seem like you stalk her!"

"The only time I even see her is on the elevator. Are you sure you aren't drinking beer?" Levi retorted.

"I'm underage to be drinking unless someone spiked it when I wasn't looking." Eren calmly stated as he took another drink.

"If no one did, they might need to so you can actually grow some balls for at least an hour and act like a man instead of a loud little kid."

Eren glared. "Shut the hell up....I do act mature. Just on some levels." He, then, turned away to stare at the ebony female with a slight blush on his slightly dark skin.

”Can you prove that?" Levi smirked at Eren's attitude.

"What did you say?" Eren growled, thinking his boss is picking a fight when he doesn't feel like throwing a punch while Mikasa is here.

"I said to prove that you aren't a child and go talk to her," Levi told him.

"Fine. I will." He suddenly stood up and walked towards the two sisters, feeling confident in his moves. Levi smirked as he watched, wanting to see how much of a train wreck it would turn into. But the minute Eren was only five steps away, he froze. His face turned a sheer scarlet red and felt his palms get sweaty. But what he didn't expect to happen, was that Mikasa noticed him and gave a small wave to him, making him lose his cool and speed-walking back to his seat before face planting the table. Mikasa flushed a faint pink but couldn't help to give a minuscule smirk from his failure to walk over.

"You’re a wuss" Levi muttered.

"Fuck you....." Eren mumbled against the table.

Levi smirked and took a sip of his whiskey before standing. "Let me show you how it's done," he stated as Eren groaned and watched him as he made his way towards the girls.

Levi walked over to the older of the two with a confident stride, the alcohol taking the edge off of his normal attitude. Y/n was too busy talking to Mikasa to notice him. Taking a french fry off her plate, she ate it and smiled as she was talking about her latest masterpiece for the company due to being in the advertising department. Mikasa mentioned a work project that’s due next week before looking over Y/n's shoulder to see the male.

"This seat taken?" Levi asked.

Y/n turned towards the voice of the male and her eyes widened. "M-Mr. Ackerman....! It's nice to see you again." She smiled softly at him.

"The same to you" he stated. "We don't see each other often. I thought we could talk."

"Of course! Come sit with me!" She smiled and patted the seat on the other side of her. He gladly sat, looking towards Eren and winking in success mainly to show off before talking to the two women. Eren growled and slammed his hands on the table and walked over once more before offering a hand at the grey-eyed female.

"May I sit with the beauty who I'm looking at~?" He asked with a smile.

Mikasa looked and blushed brightly at his words but nodded. “Sure."

With a small hum, Eren sat beside her before gently holding her waist to bring her closer to him. Her blush darkened, looking at her plate of food like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Y/n eyed the boy, a little surprised at his actions before drinking her iced water, smirking behind her glass as she knew Mikasa has a crush on him. Levi rolled his eyes, ignoring Eren as he talked to Y/n, keeping up a conversation about her interests. About an hour later, Levi was not feeling like his usual self. His cheeks were flushed while his eyes were dilated, black pupils taking up more of his steel-blue corneas. Y/n had offered to take him home while Mikasa stayed with Eren since he's completely sober. After that, Mikasa waved as she left with the green-eyed boy.

He tried to refuse, saying he was fine but she insisted, eventually giving up as he slumped over the table. Y/n slung one of Levi's arms around her neck; the other around his waist while leading him outside. Digging in his back pocket for his wallet and keys, she pressed a button to activate its panic alarm. Upon hearing a frantic horn, she turned to her left to see the flashing lights of a sleek black Ford Mustang. After calming the automobile, she gently helped a drunk Levi into the passenger side before slipping herself behind the wheel. Y/n opened up his wallet and found a small piece of paper with his name and address written in beautiful cursive. Pulling up the GPS on her phone, she punched in his home address to help her navigate before revving up the engine and beginning to drive to him home.

Levi did his best to keep the alcohol's side effects from taking over, grinning as he remembered the feeling of her hand in his pocket but stayed quiet until they got to his house. Once Y/n had gotten him out of his car and into his house, after she had unlocked the door with his keys, she walked him to his room and placed him in bed. She gave a small huff from how heavy he is for a short man. As she tried to leave the room, Levi had grabbed her wrist to keep her in place.

"(Y/n)," he muttered.

"Levi. You're drunk. You need to rest." She said softly so as not to hurt his pounding head.

"Only if you rest with me." He said, not because of how many shots he’s had, but because he’s wanted her since the first day he saw her and this was the only way he could get himself to say it. Y/n smiled and pried his hand off her arm so she could help him get comfortable by stripping him of his clothes. Y/n flushed a scarlet red when he was now only in his briefs which held a proud tent.

He smirked a bit as he watched her. "You can look if you want"

"I-I rather not, thank you...." she stuttered before going to find him some bed clothes he could wear; giving him time to look over her body that was shown by the jeans and shirt she's wearing. Her hair pulled up into a ponytail and her feet dressed in regular tennis shoes. He blushed from more than the booze in his system as he looked over her, letting her help him dress before laying in the bed with him. Y/n covered him up along with herself and sighed softly as she turned her back to him so she can sleep since it's after midnight.

But with Levi still drunk, he couldn't go to sleep. No. He didn’t want to go to sleep. He had a beautiful woman in his bed and he wanted her to be his woman. No one else’s. Levi took advantage of his drunk state and suddenly rolled Y/n onto her back, pinning her to the bed. She blinked, shocked from his sudden actions.

"L-Levi....?" she stuttered.

"Y/n.....~” he purred in her ear while sliding his hands up her shirt, making her shiver at his cold slender hands on her heated skin. "Let me love you," he whispered before colliding her lips with his own, making her body stiffen. She soon felt intoxicated by his touch and kissed him back, craving for more as she entangled her fingers into his soft black hair as she moaned.

Levi kissed her deeply as his hands made their way to her breasts, feeling the soft flesh against his skin. Arching her back at the feeling, she pulled away from his lips for air but gasping the minute he latches his own to her sensitive neck. She moaned his name when he bit her neck then pulled back with a smirk. Y/n looked down to see that Levi had, somehow, stripped her bare naked without her noticing. Trailing kisses down her body, she moaned and ran her fingers through his hair again as she closed her legs when he got between them. He rubbed her thighs soothingly before kissing them to help her relax. Once he thought she was ready, Levi opened her legs and placed his head between them. His tongue slid along her folds before flicking at her clit. Her hips jolted upwards while her fingers tugged at his hair, giving loud lewd moans.

Levi smirked and started to go faster, making her squirm and squeal in complete ecstasy as he tasted every inch of her. He then sucked her bundle of nerves into his mouth as his tongue did wonders. Y/n panted as she arched her back off the bed while her head flew back into the pillows, desperately wanting to move away but his hands held her down in place as he ravished her more. His teeth gently grazed her clit, making her lose control of the volume of her moans as they got even louder before she finally released with a squeak. But Levi kept going, making her beg as he continued to drain her of every drop before pulling off with a small pop. A trembling Y/n laid there panting heavily as Levi licked her clean, sitting up to look down at the beautiful sight under him. Levi chuckled and laid beside her with his arm draped over her waist.

Y/n calmed down from her overstimulated high before she made the bold move to pin him to the bed instead. Levi looked up at her in slight shock from the sudden move before his breath started to hitch when she started to rub the bulge in his pants. She hummed and stripped him bare of any clothes before suddenly going down to suck his cock. Levi's hips bucked at the sudden pleasure of her hot mouth on him, panting as he felt her tongue do circles around the tip.

"(Y-Y/n)~" Levi moaned as he gripped the sheets. "Ngh...! I-I'm gonna....! Ah!" he gave a loud moan as he came in her mouth. Y/n swallowed it all, a little disappointed that he came that quick, and sat up before marking him in hickeys and love bites, loving the sounds that were coming from his mouth. After she was satisfied with her work, she straddled his hips before pushing herself onto him, making her gasp and him moan. When she felt comfortable, she bounced on him as her hands rested on his chest. Loud slapping noises of skin colliding and loud moans filled the room. Y/n decided to bounce faster and go all the way down, earning her a loud moan from Levi as he gripped her hips to help her keep steady.

Pretty soon they both hit their high and came together. Y/n collapsed onto Levi's chest, panting heavily as he held her close to him. Having to pull out, he laid both their bodies on the bed and pulled her to his chest after covering them both with the blanket and going to sleep.

~back to the present~

Y/n walked out of the bathroom only to see a naked Levi standing there, in front of his boss and co-worker as he tried to suppress his blush. Smirking, the said female walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and satisfied hum.

"Don't worry, Mr. Smith~. Levi was a good boy last night with all the moans I made him do~."

At that, Hanji ran out with Erwin on her tail, trying to suppress their nose bleeds while Levi was a blushing mess at the moment from her comment. Y/n laughed at his reaction and kissed him briefly before giving him a warm smile and going to make breakfast. Levi sighed as he went back to his room to get dressed.

'Maybe getting drunk wasn't so bad after all......'

text: Hi there! Thanks for sending me a request🥺 ♥♥♥ This is such a cute idea and I love it! I decided to go with Levi having a younger sister instead if that's alright c: (if you want another one with Erwin, please let me know!) I also hope you have a nice day <3

synopsis: Levi Ackerman is a guy who would worry a lot about his little sister, and actually get scared for her whenever she is reckless, or gets herself hurt either emotionally or physically and if someone did that to her, consider them dead- but he would be just a good big brother to her and a bit an overprotector cause of the past they have shared and he wants to make sure there is no harm to her. So, when she decides to date one of the scouts, this is where he gets worried and concerned, he starts to watch every move of the person she is dating and will interrogate them, he won't care if its someone he knows, he will make sure they have no bad intentions with his little sister and he would give them his cold and strict glare 24/7 (also he would tease her a lot while she is dating them-).

fluff, comedy, aot world, headcanons ♡ —

𝗘𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿

When Levi found out his little sister was dating Eren, he was quite shocked to be honest and he had to go find her and actually confirm and hear it from her. “Are you actually dating that Kid? Fucking Yeager really?” He would say as he crossed his arms and was giving his little sister one of his looks, where it was him wanting answers from her now.

“W-What about it?” She said nervously, and looked away. ‘Shit, how did he find out?’ She would wonder as she looked around to find an escape route. She would always do that when she knows her big brother is going to give her one of those long lectures. “You are not going anywhere young lady. You are gonna stay here and tell me how the fuck you both started to date.” Now she is trapped.

When Eren found out that the person he was dating is Levi’s little sister, he was scared as fuck. He was worried that Levi would appear out of nowhere and beat him since he is dating his little sister. “Oh my god, Is your big brother going to kill me cause I am dating you?!” He would say and as he held on both of your shoulders and his eyes would wide, he was actually nervous and scared. “No, Don't worry. As long as you are with me, you are fine! He wont dare lay a finger on you.”

Then Levi appeared out of nowhere, “Oh hell yea I will if you mess with my sister, and make a one meter distance from her shithead. I don't want her to catch your germs.”

His little sister then would turn at him and give him a glare, “Levi, stop it.” She would say and give out a long sigh. 

Whenever his little sister comes back from a date with Eren, she would go see her big brother Levi to see how he is doing and he would say to her with a glare. “You were with him, Hm? You’re filthy now, go shower.” His sister would give out a long sigh and tsk at him while leaving his office, she knows Levi says that on purpose cause he started to tease her more ever since she started dating Eren!

Levi would watch and look after his little sister even more when she started dating Eren, because he found him a bit fishy. “Hey, you sure about this?” He would say one evening as they were drinking tea and he sounded serious, Levi would then give her a big brother/sibling talk.

Eren would always wait for you either when you are cleaning, training or in a meeting and Levi would think he was stalking you and following you at first. “What do u think u are doing following MY little sister? You are so fucked kid.” Levi would say approaching Eren, and he was ready to beat him up again. “LEVI WAIT- that’s the guy I am dating now!” Levi would suddenly stop, and turn around with a surprised expression looking at his little sister “Seriously...”

Once, just once, Eren made Levi’s little sister tear up and Levi did not leave him at all that day and was looking for him. He ruined his life that day. Levi’s little sister teared up cause she got ready to go out with Eren, but Eren somehow forgot and stood her out!  Would be scared to make her cry again, cause he doesn’t want to get beaten up by Levi.

She would tease Eren sometimes. Like, “Hey Eren can you do this for me now?”. “No I need to train, not now!”  he would say and he was approaching the training area, “Hmm…okay I’ll go ask Levi instead” Eren stopped from his tracks, and turned around quickly towards her. “W-WAIT! Actually I can make some time.” This would always make her giggle.

Levi would actually find Eren annoying once Eren started to date Levi’s little sister. “I think he has a thing towards us.” Levi would say to his sister as they both looked outside from his office window and looking at Eren who was searching for Levi and his little sister. “He chases around me, and is dating you, why can’t he just leave us alone...Ugh”.

𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗷𝗶 𝗭𝗼𝗲

They know Levi worries a lot about his little sister, as she is the only one left who is family to him. So Hanji would update Levi about his little sister from time to time, especially after a date. “Heyyy Levi! Just letting you know that she is doing well and finished her work early today!” Hanji would say cheerfully, and Levi just knows that they had just seen his little sister. But, this gives him a relief to know at least that she is doing well as he is quite busy sometimes to check on her.

Would help his little sister to convince her brother with things. “Don’t worry, I can talk to Levi for you babe!”. Hanji would say with a big smile and a light blush would appear in their cheeks, they want her to depend on Hanji.

“Oi, Don’t send Hanji to me again. I cant even shut them up now ever since you are going out with them.” Levi would say as he gave out a long sigh, defeated by Hanji as he let them win with whatever they were trying to convince him. Hanji would not give up and wants to impress his little sister!

Hanji would be good at lying to help Levi’s little sister out just incase she tried to skip something such as cleaning or some training lessons, and Levi would actually fall for it sometimes.

His little sister and Hanji are loud and squeal a lot, it would Levi go mad and yell out at the both of them to shut up, but Hanji would think he is joining their squeals. “Oh my god....Levi finally joined us!” But, his little sister would go to Hanji and whisper to them “Um…I think he’s mad.”

Literally anything his little sister asks Hanji to do something, they get so happy and hyped up. And Levi sees that and actually finds them both cute, he would also appreciate how Hanji is willing to do anything for her and that makes him glad.

If he sees his little sister really down one day, he would see Hanji trying their best to boost her energy up, and Levi would really admire that about Hanji, making his lil sis happy <3

Levi would definitely intimidate Jean, just to test him (He lowkey thought Jean was a fuckboy) and this would piss his pants.

Whenever Levi passes by his little sister and Jean. Jean would salute to him quickly like an idiot. And to just rub it on his face so Levi can scare him more, Levi would say “Jean, You are not causing trouble to my little sister right?”.

Jean: “N-No Captain!!”

Levi: “Hm, better be.”

“Yo....Your brother is scary. Does he hate me?!” Jean would say, full of concern in his tone as they both looked at Levi who was giving out orders for everyone. “Um...You kinda annoy him to be honest.” She would say as Jean looked down with a sad look. “B-But don't worry! He’s just like that in the beginning.”

Jean can’t believe the sweet, cool and lovely girl he is dating is related to Levi. He had to even make sure and see if their last names matched!

“I-Is your brother here today??” Jean would say to her as he looked around, making sure he wasn't near as they were both alone in the stable. He wanted to give a kiss to her cheeks but he was scared as hell if Levi appeared out of nowhere. “It’s either now or never Kirstein.” 

Jean would try to do more tasks and try and to impress Levi just a bit. He would show him his ODM gear skills, and the only thing he got from Levi is saying “You’re an idiot.” and he would give him a stoic expression and walk away. “Huh..” Jean said as he was left all alone in the training area. Although, Levi did appreciate his hard work.

Levi would seem to like Jean later on as he was observing how he was treating his little sister and it would be with respect, love and even respecting her boundaries and Levi found the guy good, but won’t admit it.

Finds it amusing how he gets a small gift for Levi’s little sister every time whenever he went out to town, “Okay, he got taste.”

He also likes Jean because he found out he is hygienic and clean, and how he always presents himself clean and tidy, with a nice outfit every time he goes on a date with his sister during the weekend. “She’s in her bedroom, she will come for you soon.” Levi would say as he opened the door for Jean to enter their small house and Jean would stand like a stickman, too afraid to do anything that would upset Levi. “Hey brat, are you alright?”. It lowkey made Levi chuckle, and Jean thought this was it for him when he heard his small laugh.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿

Levi got now, two idiots to deal with. His sister and Connie, who would always bother him with stuff and their stupid games they keep telling Levi to join.

They actually do a lot of pranks on Levi, most of it is Connie’s idea and Levi’s little sister would agree with them and try to do it. But if they get caught, Connie would take the blame and when he does that and Levi sees how he would never bring his sister involved he would just let it slide.

Levi actually likes him, because he makes his little sister laugh a lot with his jokes, and Connie always tries his best to make sure he does that at least once everyday. He would say the most random things and she would laugh and Levi would look at her and think ‘That was not even funny...But, at least she is laughing.’ 

She would get in trouble sometimes with Connie, and if Levi found out, Connie would immediately defend you and just babble about things that did not even make sense. This would make Levi be so confused and even get lost in track to what he was even saying at the beginning. His little sister would try and hold back her laughter. Levi would just sit there, give up with the conversation and say “You know what, Forget it. You both are dismissed.” After they left, Connie would say with a big smile “See! I told you I could convince him!” “Connie...You weren’t even- Nevermind.”

When Levi walks in the hallway and hears someone laughing, he would know it’s Connie making his sister laugh and he actually smiles about it. He would later come in after they finished laughing and talking (giving them some time) and Levi would say “Oi, idiots. Focus on your work.”

𝗔𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁

Such a mature boy when he dates Levi’s little sister, and to be honest Levi would have no problem with him dating his little sister.

He’s also a softie and always makes sure he gives what his girl wants, and Levi appreciates that how he is willing to do his best for his little sister only.

Levi can tell before they were dating how Armin would always look at Levi’s little sister, admiring her beauty and character and Levi would think to himself ‘This kid is so lovestruck’

Levi would go to his sister later on and let her know that someone is interested in her, “Who is it!” She would say blushing and looking at Levi, waiting for a response. “Hm...You will find out soon. I think he will ask you out.” Levi would say as he flipped through the papers he had. “Oh come on tell me big bro!!!” Levi liked teasing his sister and he would then say “Okay...I will tell you if you bring me some tea.” And, even after she does that Levi wouldn’t say it and she would want to beat him up.

During missions, he trusts Armin to be with his little sister since he knows he will protect her and have her back while he is away.

Armin wants to prove to Levi that he is capable of taking care of his little sister too! And he would risk his life for her, Levi knowing that would go up to Armin and say “That’s nice and all, but use your brain and don’t die. Besides...that would make my little sister sad and I wont forgive you if you do that.” That was the only time Levi was real and showed his way of trust to Armin, and that made him happy.

When Levi goes to the library, he would spot his little sister with Armin being all lovey dovey as he wanted to go and grab a book. “Tch, what do you think you both are doing?” Levi had no idea that they were actually on a date and both of them were blushing and were shy. But, he lowkey found that adorable. Later on, his sister would yell at him at how he ruined her date and he would say “Yeah yeah....Sorry.”

Armin would ask Levi sometimes what his little sister likes such as food, her favorite jewelry, or literally anything and Levi would say while raising his eyebrows, “Ask her yourself brat.”

For special occasions he would go for Levi to ask what would he do to make his little sister super happy and Levi appreciates the thought. So, he somehow ends up telling him some ideas and it was a secret plan between them to surprise her.

Armin would ask Levi to train him to be stronger after he starts dating Levi’s little sister, so he can be strong and protect her. “You will never reach my level, but sure.” Levi would say teasing Armin and after every training session, Armin is knocked out, laying on the ground. “Levi!!! What did you do now?” His little sister would yell out running towards Armin who was on the ground, “What? The brat said he wanted me to train him.”

this was such a nice and fun idea and I liked how I made hc’s for other aot characters so thanks for the request anon!! let me know if you liked it and if anyone else did let me know by leaving a like or a reblog! Have a great day and I hope this somehow cheered anyone up! <3

The Scientist

(Hange (Hanji) can rearrange by guts tbh :P Lol, anyways, this is a Yandere Hanji x Female Reader story! It takes place in current time tho (same universe as Yelena). Also, idgaf how tall the creator says Hanji is. In this fic, even the tall girlies get to be shorter than Hanji. 

TW: kidnapping!, !drugging!, unwanted advances, stalking!, etc! 

Please proceed with caution! Also, I’m sorry if you can tell that this was in my drafts for a hot min. I started to write this when I first started this blog, and I just finished/revised it lol. ) 

“Hey, (Nickname!” Hearing the loud shout of a certain brunet, you jump about a foot in the air. As usual, Hanji decides to surprise you whilst you’re in the middle of something. 

Pulling away from the microscope you’re currently looking at, you put on a strained smile, “Yes?” 

Their one eye sparkles in a hopeful fashion from behind their glasses, one of her their fiddling with their eyepatch, “Sooo,” They draw out the o, seemingly trying to disarm you, “Are you free this weekend? There’s this suuuuper cool bar that’s just opening, and me and the others are thinking about going! It’s totally not a date or anything,” They pause to let out a loud laugh, “I think it’ll be fun! What D'ya say?” 

Forcing out a chuckle, you shake your head, “Ah, I’m sorry, Hanji, but I’m busy this weekend. I have a lot of samples I need to process for that upcoming court case,” You chew your bottom lip nervously, “I’m sorry. I hope you and the others have a good time, though!” 

A new voice is heard, butting into your conversation, “I can do those! I’ve been needing more hours, anyways,” Whipping your head in the direction of the voice, you silently curse. Fuck Armin for being so helpful! 

Hanji beams even brighter than before, clapping their hands together happily, “See! Armin can do that for you!” They lean in closer to you, their lab coat brushing against yours, “Come on, (Nickname), I’d be reaaaaally happy if you go!” 

An uneasy feeling pools in your gut, as an anxious sweat begins to bead at your brow, “I-uhm-I suppose I can go for an hour or two.”

“Great!” They grab your hands in theirs, squeezing them in a friendly manner, “The bar is called ‘Titan’s Wrath,’ and we’re meeting at eight on Saturday!” Releasing you, they pat you on the back, “See you later!” They run off, most likely back to the dry lab. 

After a moment of silence, you slowly turn towards the short haired blond man, “Armin, I’m going to kill you.”

He blanches at your blunt tone, flushing a bright red, “Wha-what?” 

You grit your teeth, tears starting to bead your eyes in frustration, “They’re the person I was telling you about! Hanji constantly harasses me, and you practically just tossed me into their arms! Why would you do that?” 

A look of pure terror and remorse appears of his face, “Oh my God, I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t realise that they were the person-oh my God, I’m so stupid. I-I really didn’t know! I’m so, so sorry!” You let out a quivering breath, hands clenched into fists to calm you down. 

“It-it’s alright. I never really told you who they were. Just never do that again, okay? If you need more hours, just tell me, and I’ll see what I can do,” The younger man sighs in relief, shoulders deflating. 

“I promise to never do that again!” You nod, blinking away your unshed tears, and smile at him. 

“Okay, then we don’t have any problems,” You laugh lightly, shaking your head, “Who would’ve thought our newest intern was the dry lab’s wing man?” He panics again, making you cackle good-naturedly, “Now, can you please grab the dilluter? I forgot to grab it from the fridge.”

-

Hanji, being the ever cheerful person that they are, set their sights on you the moment you were hired. 

But, if they came out with their feelings immediately, you’d just assume that they wanted to take advantage of you. 

So, they watched you. Writing down your likes and dislikes, your quirks, everything. Through their ‘research,’ they came to realise that you’re very good at your job. The wet-lab should be lucky that they have you… but they never give you the recognition you deserve! 

They bombard you with assignments, become upset when you don’t finish them in seconds (which is so unreasonable!), and hardly give you any time off! 

You don’t seem to mind, being the good girl you are, but Hanji sure does! 

So, they’d seek out the top graduates from the college nearby, and help them become employed at the lab. The newbies really helped get the load off of your shoulders, and once done, they decided to swoop in now that you had a decent amount of free time. 

It started at the vending machine- they’d asked you if you wanted to get coffee with them sometime. You said no, probably because you felt it wasn’t professional. After all, rumours would spread like wildfire if you went out with the lead lab tech of the dry lab! 

So, everytime they knew you had a weekend off, they’d approach you with new places to try. 

Be it a movie, a store, a concert- it didn’t matter. They just desperately wanted to have some time with you! 

But, you reacted the complete opposite of how you were supposed to. 

You’d pick up as many shifts as possible, most times going into over time, just to avoid the flamboyant lead. Whenever you saw them in the hall or by the break room, you’d turn in the complete opposite direction. If wet-lab needed to correspond with the dry-lab, you’d send your most qualified coworker to do so. 

It was saddening, to be honest. They love you so much, yet you refuse to even face them. 

But, thanks to that Armin kid, their plans can finally bloom into fruition. For once, you can’t escape the brunet’s advances! 

Because of that, Hanji made a note to the owner of the lab that Armin would make a good contribution to the lab after he gets all of his qualifications. 

-

Saturday night comes far too soon. 

Dressed in black skinny jeans and a cropped, white long sleeve, you stand in front of ‘Titans Wrath.’ Scoffing at how the bar sounds like a metal band, you make your way inside. 

Grabbing the door handle, you yank it open, immediately hearing loud rock music. Mentally patting yourself on the back for your observation, you step inside of the cool building. 

Looking inside, you see a large, double sided bar in the middle of the room, a stage and standing area just behind it. There are a few pool tables in the front area where you’re standing, along with double doors leading to a hidden kitchen. 

There’s also a lot of people inside. You can’t see Hanji or their friends, but seeing a band setting up on the stage tells you that they’re probably on the other side of the bar. 

Walking over to the steps leading down into the stage area, you try to ignore the leers of a few men around you. Maybe you shouldn’t have worn clothes that accentuate your beautiful figure. Peering around the corner, you see the scientist and their friends, an empty seat in between them and a large blond man, that you vaguely recall being the police chief of your city. 

Strolling towards them halfheartedly, you give yourself a small peptalk inside of your mind. Sure, Hanji has always been touchy-feely with you, sure, they’ve asked you out about one hundred times, sure, you run into them every time you leave the house, sure- 

“(Nickname)! You actually came!” The brunet’s voice is loud, loud enough to cut through the loud music and equally loud chatter. Forcing a smile onto your face, you give a small wave, suddenly uncomfortable with the line of strangers at the bar suddenly looking at you. 

“Yes, hello, Hanji,” When you’re close enough, you’re thrown into a tight embrace, their body practically molding into your own. They’re about a head taller than you, making it so your head is practically forced against their protruding collarbones. Hesitating slightly, you give them a soft pat on the back, trying to escape their suffocating embrace. 

“I’m so glad you came!” They release you just as suddenly as they grabbed you, putting a hand on the small of your back, and practically forcing you in between the blond man and themself, “(Nickname), this is Erwin. Erwin, this is (First Name).”

His blue eyes rake over your appearance, recognition appearing on his face, “It’s nice to see you again, Ms. (Last Name), especially under better circumstances.” 

You nod, thinking back on some high profile cases you met with him for, “Yes, it’s nice to see you again, Mr. Smith.” 

A loud scoff is heard from beside Erwin, the head of a short, dark haired man peeks around the broad chested man, “It’s about time you brought a respectful brat,” You have to stop yourself from flinching at his harsh tone, “I am Levi,” Opening your mouth to introduce yourself, he holds up a hand, halting you, “There’s no need for introductions, Shitty-glasses has gushed about the ‘pretty wet-lab scientist’ for months now.” 

“Oh, alright. It’s nice to meet you,” His lifts his whiskey on rocks in acknowledgement, before downing it with one swig. 

“Likewise,” After that, he turns towards a light brown haired woman, her high pitched voice is heard from where you’re sitting. 

“I’m sorry about that. The detective is very… unsociable.” 

“It’s alright, Mr. Smith. He kind of reminds me of one of my interns, Annie,” You say with a small smile, before your swiveling bar stool is forced around so you’re facing Hanji. 

“Sooo, you like the bar so far?” Their smile is somewhat pleading, and you can’t help but just go along with them. 

“Yes, this place is, um, cool. Very interesting choice,” They clasp their hands together with a pleased expression, as they somehow move closer to you than they already are. At this point, you’re worried that they’ll fall off their stool. 

“Right? Our residential emo boy found it, and we’ve been hooked ever since,” A loud ‘Shut up, Shitty-glasses,’ is heard from behind you, making the brunet laugh, “Let me order you a drink! I think there’s something that you’ll really like!” 

Opening your mouth to reject, it was seemingly too late, because the brunet has already waved over a punk-ed out bartender. You didn’t really hear what the drink is called, but the man sets to work immediately. 

It barely takes a minute for it to be finished, and the purple drink is suddenly in front of your motionless form. Looking up, the purple haired man winks at you, before turning his attention back to a speaking Hanji. 

“Anything she orders, put it on my tab,” He nods, before walking off to service another customer. 

Turning your attention back to Hanji, you try to persuade them to let you pay, “Thanks, Hanji, but it’s alright. I can pay for my own drinks-”

“Don’t worry about it; I asked you out, remember? And it’s the least I can do for harassing you for the past few months,” Startled by their uncharacteristically somber words, you nod in understanding. 

“Alright. Thank you,” They nod, before motioning towards your drink. 

“Try it! I’m sure you’ll like it!” Grabbing the cool glass cup, you bring it up to your lips, and take a small sip. It’s amazing. It tastes like (favourite flavour), and it goes down smooth. 

“You’re right, this is delicious!” They grin brightly, clapping their hands together in glee. 

“Great!” They motion towards the stage with their head, “The show’s about to start! Are you ready for a kickass night?” You laugh at their vigour, and nod. 

“You bet!” 

Maybe tonight won’t be so bad after all. 

-

You spoke too soon. 

It seems like you’ve drank too much, because you’re now feeling dizzy. Throughout the set, you’d ordered about five more drinks, and they seemingly hit you all at once. 

Hanji, who’s been watching you since your fourth drink, feigns shock at your unstable form. That Rohypnol they grabbed from work works quite well! Now they can see why it’s the choice drug for those awful, awful people. 

“Whoa there, (Nickname), it seems you’ve had too much to drink!” Hanji jokes, hands holding you steady on your bar stool. The only person from your group still at the bar is Erwin, but he knows they have it under control. As chief of police, he feels a bit of remorse, but he knows it's for the best. Hanji will take care of you, because, after all, you’re their only true obsession. 

“Wha-huh? Was’ happenin?” Hanji can all but coo at how cute you are. 

“Don’t worry, cutie. I’ll get you home safe,” Helping you to your boot clad feet, they send a knowing look to Erwin, who smiles in return. Wrapping an arm around your waist, they help you stumble out of the bar, and walk towards their car. Once at the passenger side, the brunet unlocks the door, and assists you inside. You flop onto their leather interior, eyes unfocused, and body movements random. Chuckling to themself, they buckle you in, not before pulling on gloves, and taking your phone, keys, and wallet off of you. 

Taking these items, they empty your wallet of its cash, and chuck everything into a nearby bush. Knowing that the cameras outside the building and the buildings surrounding the place are off, they feel at ease. If anything, they feel like your knight in shining armour. If they hadn’t taken you, someone else would’ve-you’re just too cute. 

Closing your door, and rounding the car, they slide into the driver’s side, before starting the car. Buckling themself in, they look at your out-of-it form, and smile.

The Ackerman duo. Just the mention of this name filled Hange with so many feelings. Mostly, when she reread the files of their cases over and over, until her eyes watered, she felt pricking annoyance. Sometimes, when she stared at the dead bodies of those scarce unfortunates who stumbled upon their crimes, she was filled with hatred and a pushing need for revenge. Hange couldn't deny, however, there were times when she marveled at the impudence of their crimes. And, when she was investigating the Ackerman's cases and saw just how meticulously planned they all were, she couldn't help but feel something close to fascination.

No one knew who they were. No one had seen their faces, no one knew their true names. Almost everyone knew of their crimes.

Hange was determined to unravel every last one of their secrets. She will put an end to their crimes and then she will get the elusive Ackermans behind bars.

• A Simple Choice by just_quintessentially_me

[Multi-chapt || completed]

Summary:

The rain had started up again. Fat droplets drummed over her hood, drenching the fabric. Her horse’s reins were wet and cold; though her fingers, numbed from continued exposure to the elements, could hardly feel them.

Following the sound of the explosion, they’d arrived at a clearing. It was a mess of blackened, shattered wood, and the wagon, a skeleton, was little more than a smoking husk. Beyond the wreckage, a titan lay prostrate. Felled, its limp, hulking form was barely visible through the rain.

As soldiers shouted, pointing at the creature, one of the horses still tethered to the ruined wagon, writhed. When the beast screamed a broken, panicked wail, her own horse shifted, flanks twitching with unease.

Hanji barely noticed.

The soldiers' voices, the poor beast’s screams, even the heavy, even thrum of rain - had silenced as she looked to the river.

A body lay at the edge of the dark, white-capped water.

But the pastor was already speaking, “You’re obviously beside yourself with stress – and it’s understandable. Not knowing if your wife has survived-”

Levi cut him off, “My what?”

The pastor hesitated, apparently realizing he’d made some mistake, but misunderstanding precisely what it was. “Your…wife? The woman we traveled with before? She’s ah – forceful. You two uh – have the same, er – strident personality. When we first met, she dangled me off the wall.”

• Terrible Things by someonestolemyshoes

[One-shot]

Summary:

The first time he tells her she’s pretty, Hange is all kinds of filthy - sweaty, dirty, twigs in her hair and mud on her shoes and a great big disgusting ball of everything Levi hates.

She is also crying.

It isn’t like he’s never seen her cry before - they’re nine and crying is just what kids do, especially kids like Hange who like to play with things they probably shouldn’t play with and like to climb trees even though they’re kind of clumsy and so the crying, in it’s self, isn’t all that weird.

What’s weird is that Hange - Hange, with her print-smudged glasses and ratty ponytail and clothes two sizes too big for her - is crying because a boy called her ugly.

Oh, lord, was her only thought as she quickly scrambled for an excuse. “I - Uh - well, sometimes people stare at other people because -” before she could even begin to form a proper sentence, Eren interjected. She wasn’t sure whether to be grateful or dismayed by his actions.

“Is it because you think he’s cute? My friend Ymir stares at my friend Krista that way all the time, she says it’s because she’s so pretty!” Eren babbled happily, oblivious to the way Hange’s grip around the handle of the cart tightened. Her brown eyes darted back and forth between the stranger and her son, hoping that he couldn’t overhear their conversation seeing as Eren wasn’t the softest of speakers.

Happy Birthday Hanji Zoe

✨️ Written in the Stars ✨️ - a Levihan drabble, for Hanji

•

•

The beach laid quiet that night. The low murmur of waves meeting the sand the only distinguishable sound echoing at the distance, almost like a hushed lullaby.

The kids had paid him a visit earlier that day, as they did every year when the last scraps of summer started to fade into the chill of orange trees and autumn breezes. It was nice to see them again, honestly. Levi was proud of the young men and women they had all become.

But he needed time to breathe alone, he figured. Time to be with himself in solace.

Gaby had taken him to the shores had everyone said their goodbyes, much like he'd asked of them. Then, she'd left back inside the house to finish up clearing the tables. He noticed, she had grown taller; taller than him, even, and that she wore her auburn hair in an unkept messy ponytail.

It reminded him of them.

Everything reminded him of them.

He looked over at the sea, there where the dark waters met the black night skies, and let out a heavy sigh that melted into the salty air.

It seemed forever ago when they had first reached beyond the walls. When they touched a world so new it felt they could grasp the horizon between their fingertips and nothing could ever hurt them anymore.

It was a simpler time, maybe. Even when war awaited, hidden in the shadows. The kids played amongst the crashing waves, laughing like the little children they had no chance of being, and hope painted the sky of bright clear blue. Even when fate uncertain clouded the roads ahead.

It was easier of a life, he mulled, surely, wincing at the memories flooding bittersweet. They were still warm and safe and alive next to him. And he much preferred uncertainty to the concrete and finite of death.

He exhaled. Hanji had held his hand and guided him along the shores that night, when they decided to set camp across the sand, curious and excited, like they had once explored mistery. The kids were already sound asleep in their tents, and everything else around them was drowned in silence.

"Have I ever told you about the stars, Levi?", they'd said.

He nodded, letting go of them if only for a brief second. They had stopped walking, far away from their lit bonfire, only to sit down together in the sand, facing the vastness of the universe side by side; two halves of a whole.

"You've told me way too many things, four eyes.", he admitted.

They laughed; a small sound that was ever so precious to his beating heart.

"Well, did you know they are nothing but boiling rock, pressed together by gravitational force?"

Levi shrugged. He usually had no idea what half of that scientific terminology meant, whatsoever, but still decided to listen either way. Time after time again.

"I guess it kinda makes sense.", he'd concluded, unsure. And Hanji smiled, with a fondness only reserved for moments like those they shared in the intimacy of eachother's company.

"A while back I read about them having some sort of life, much quite like us humans.", they'd explained, glaring up at the trail of specks that glimmered over the black infinity. "It's funny, you know? 'Cause when they die, it could be months or even years after they become invisible to us here on Earth."

Levi swallowed. There was a lump tightening his throat that he hadn't even noticed forming until he started struggling for air.

"Is it because of how far away they are from us?", was all he managed saying.

Hanji remained quiet for a while; a sigh of melancholy escaping them inevitable, slipping into the soft of the wind's melody.

"Sometimes, I like thinking that our fallen comrades turn into stars.", they'd confessed; dropping their weight free onto the sand immense, almost as broad as the skies above. "That we can still see them, even after they've been long gone. And that, in spite of their clear absense, their light still shines for us who're over here."

Levi had nodded, once more. He had never thought about it that way back then, but he certainly did now.

Was Hanji watching him, as he'd wished for that day? Were they still present, beating iridiscent in the shimmering of the brightest star?

He stared up; his only eye searching for signs written in the night.

It was hard to be without them, really. Desperating, even; to know a world without their shining light reaching for every corner, as fiery as the smoke that had once tarnished them whole. His heart hurt and twisted and turned, shattered to pieces with every beating day.

But specially that one.

Specially when life reminded him they should have been on Earth, by his side, and not wandering lost around the gates of heaven.

He grumbled, much to his desdain, and traced his fingers through the scars that had sewn him miraculous, back to life. Hanji's birthday week had always been difficult, but that one was specifically gut-wrenching.

September fifth, and they would have turned fourty, Levi remembered. Because, of course: how could he not?

Fourty, he thought to himself; a deep sigh, tinted of sorrow blue almost rushing through him.

He was sure, then, that they would have joked about becoming a fossil, if fate had ever given them the chance to, and that they would have smiled, evergreen as they blew out their candles; joy sealed concrete, imprinted permanent on the corners of their eyes. He was certain, also, that they would have booked a ticket anywhere right after the party was over with, and that they would have spent a lifetime following the clouds; because they were impulsive like that.

He chuckled; brief, yet audible.

It was ironic, honestly, how silver linings were starting to splatter his ever-dark hair, and Hanji would be no more, forever stuck in eternal youth.

No wrinkled smiles, no candles to blow.

They were ripped too early, for they would never be able to walk the world they once fought so vehemently to liberate.

No threads of grey crowning their head. No birthday cakes. No chances of attesting time change their skin. Nor growing old next to him.

The kids had brought them presents, though, as they did every year. Armin, a handful of titan books and a letter from sweet Mikasa, over in Paradis. Annie and Pieck a box of their favourite tea, along with a bottle of the local marleyan wine. Connie had fetched a bouquet of the lilac flowers Hanji used to love, and Jean had drawn them immortal into thick chalkboard traces: so realistic, Levi's heart had froze for over a good minute.

"You see?", he spoke, swiftly into the darkness. His chest stung with fiery anguish, much like the tears he held restrained inside his eyes. "How loved you are, shitty glasses..."

He never knew why he could never tell them such himself, back when they were still alive.

How could he be such a coward?

He had loved them, then. Loved them, still. Loved them always.

Were they ever aware that he loved them?

He exhaled, tiresome, and clutched his broken hand between steady fingers; a refugee he had built if only to savour the last of their breathing warmth, right before smoke had drowned them worlds away.

Hanji Zoe. The crazy titan scientist. A misunderstood soldier. A tornado that had spun his universe on its axis and ablazed his soul into burning flames.

He had loved them. Intense and achingly pure. He had loved them, although aware that surrendering himself to love was only condemning his emotions to the agony of eternal loss.

Maybe, that was why he had swallowed the words shut, he sought. Why he chose to explode in silence, instead of bombing wholes and make a mess of what little he had left. What would have been the diference, had he told them? Would there have been any?

Earlier that day, Reiner had given him a gift from both Flegel and Queen Historia herself: a fancy ring, of white gold and purple glimmering stones. He wondered, in his now solitude, if he would have put it around Hanji's finger had they breathed longer to keep him company. If he would have been brave enough to place the right questions, in spite of there never existing a fitting time.

He swallowed, impossible, and finally allowed himself free to cry in silence, for the suffering shaking his bones frail was just too much to bear alone.

When was the last time he'd cried like that? He figured, eventually, pain was something a soldier like him had to learn how to live with and in spite of. So he had kept it guarded to forsake his sanity, awfully convinced it would be for the best.

Even when he'd forgotten how much goodbye weighed heavy on his soul. How needed it was to set all hell loose, every once in a while.

He inhaled, sharply, and looked over at the seas through now blurry vision. The moon white reflected round over the rather calm waters; the only witness of his pouring emotion, flowing endless out of him.

Would Hanji know they were free now, thanks to them? That they had all tasted the peace they had once risked everything to discover?

Would they know he loved them, as deep as the ever-unreachable ocean?

The night was still yound and summer was slipping away and they would have been fourty. But they were gone and a piece of himself would always be missing, gone fourty times over with them.

"Four eyes...", he said; voice faltering, left fist closed tight across his chest, there where his heart remained fractured, but beating, still. "Happy birthday."

He assured, then, he was going to live through the pain, much to his terror of even trying. He was going to, if that was what would have made them joyful and content, wherever they were.

He promised, he was going to live for them.

Even when his only and biggest regret was ever agreeing to let them go that day.

"Hanji..." he glanced over at the sky, and extended his hand up open; as though he could touch them one last time, feel them laugh in the cool of the chanting breeze. "I will always love you. Did you know...?"

Stars danced and winked and sparkled blinding atop his head, attesting to the truth behind his words; purple like the stones in his ring. Precious like their favourite color.

He was going to live for them.

Maybe, because they were still watching, after all.

You asked, I deliver! Part II of Accidental baby acquisition💖 I lost one of the asks 😩 but anon who asked about baby Udo, I named the baby in your honour! Saddle up cowboys! I’m not good with sequels but here we are-

Babygate:

the scandal that implies that a certain boy band member cheated on his partner (another band member) and had a kid even when the mom was never pregnant.

- urban dictionary

—

Reiner thinks things are alright. Life is definitely picking up. Pieck still sends him excerpts of her dirty fanfiction to proofread, Bertholdt is still doing all he can to “retire at 30”, Annie might have eloped with said boyfriend. But he’s seeing Porco on the regular now, he’s really cute, he’s got a nice ass. Reiner can’t complain.

He’s also recently donated his Levi Ackerman standee. Only because it’s getting increasingly hard to reconcile the fact that he has a life sized cutout of his colleague’s boyfriend in his room.

What he can complain about is said colleague (and friend) dropping bombs on him. He’s one of the moderators of one of the bigger No Name servers. Sometimes he wonders if that’s a conflict of interest because, well, he knows the guy on a first name basis. But today he has other concerns. He sees his notifications blowing up and decides to go on the No Name server. And lo and behold. There’s a paparazzi shot of Levi and Hanji with a stroller taking a walk in a new channel called “MYSTERY FAMILY?”.

He cancels his plans with Porco. “Don’t text me for the next few hours, got a fire to fight.” He clicks send, and feels kinda bad, so he sends Porco really dank meme to appease him. (That doesn’t stop Porco from doing exactly what Reiner told him not to do and demanding an explanation every five minutes).

He forces himself to take a deep breath before texting Hanji-

“Hanji… I don’t mean to be rude but…

WHAT THE FUCK?”

—

So here begins babygate. A conspiracy theory that took the Internet by storm.

“Levi Ackerman had a secret marriage! He was keeping this from us from the start!”

“It’s a publicity stunt to keep No Name relevant during their hiatus!”

“It’s an elaborate scheme by the company to punish Levi for announcing the hiatus without their knowledge!”

“Levi’s mystery partner was sent by the lizard people to take control of his mind and produce half-lizard, half-human hybrid babies to take over the world! What a bitch!” (This is Hanji’s favourite).

And the internet’s favourite- this is all an elaborate scheme to cover up the scandalous love affair between Levi and Eren- the band’s guitarist.

“What the fuck?” Levi had said during dinner once, to which Reiner had to swallow his food and pretend he never read or actively looked up ereri content. Yes. Reiner knows the name of their ship.

Levi hadn’t been too worried before, but when pictures of them shopping for baby stuff leaked online, something snaps. Something snaps and Erwin tells him he needs more time to figure out the biggest PR crisis in No Name history.

It’s Levi. Levi is the PR crisis.

So in the meantime, no shock reveals, no more social media, (if possible) no more leaving the house with pregnant girlfriend in tow. “Don’t do ANYTHING.” Erwin had said, “especially not you!” Erwin had directed that at Eren, who suggested he makes an announcement. Erwin shudders. He remembers all the past scandals they got themselves into just because Eren, bless him, didn’t know when to shut up.

“I’m sorry…” Levi says to Hanji when they’re cuddled up on the couch watching a documentary on whale migration.

“Huh?” Hanji says, voice muffled through her incessant sniffling because “whales are delivered tail first, Levi! They wear their mothers like hats!”

He apologises for putting her through the mess that is him and his job. And Hanji smiles at him. He wonders if their kid will look like her. He’s hoping they would.

“Levi…” Hanji sighs, taking his face in her hands, “that night at the bar I thought to myself ‘this man has a face I would risk it all for’… I think this counts within the realms of ‘all’”

Levi scoffs, but a smile is threatening the corners of his lips. Erwin’s nagging over the phone fades a little and he sinks a little lower into the couch. He sighs one more time for good measure before saying-

“So… you wanna know which my favourite babygate theory is?”

—

“And you’re really not bothered by all this?” Reiner asks, in an emergency meeting that he had scheduled into her calendar. He hates that he’s packing things into her already busy schedule when she’s about to pop but, he figures it’s better now than when the baby’s actually out. He had booked a meeting room and everything, figuring if he projected some of the crazy shit they’re saying on the fan boards up on screen, Hanji would start taking this seriously. Because if Reiner knows anything, it’s that the fans will do anything to keep their ship afloat.

He scrolls past another post on the lizard people and Hanji gets him to pause.

“I mean… A little?” Hanji pinches her fingers together.

“Hanji…” Reiner sighs, “you and Levi discuss and rate babygate conspiracy theories you find online I don’t think you’re taking this seriously at all…”

Hanji looks at Reiner- an absolute state of panic. And she considers panicking for a moment. She’s read articles dissecting babygate and although they’re absolutely batshit, Hanji appreciates how well-researched they are. Which is a little scary. To be fair to Levi, he’s been trying to get her to worry. “I can’t keep you safe all the time, you have to be careful” like he’s going off to war somewhere. But it’s not in Hanji nature to worry about things like this. She’s a researcher at a lab who lived an ordinary life up until the point the universe hit her with a-

Sike! Levi Ackerman is your baby daddy! What are you gonna do about it?

And now she knows what headcanons and lemons are, and she really doesn’t know what to do with that knowledge. So Hanji decides, she’ll do nothing. She’ll go on indulgently long walks Levi in tow, she’ll talk his ear off about work. And like a good girlfriend, she’ll listen to his demos (and enjoy them) and tell him “are you sure anger rhymes with danger?”.

“I don’t really know how to worry about anything beyond our samples getting contaminated…” Hanji says, sheepish. Reiner sighs. He doesn’t want to be a wet blanket on Hanji’s life. He wants to be fun Reiner. Cool as a cucumber. Reiner who manages to make it through dinner at Hanji’s without having to excuse himself to hyperventilate in her bathroom because Levi is right there. And he’s so afraid that he might just be able to read his mind and find out he had looked up Levi Ackerman x y/n fanfiction once in his foolish youth (youth being approximately four months back)

Reiner shudders.

“Yeah okay… That’s um… That’s cool… Right?” He says.

Hanji shrugs.

—

So Levi Ackerman is your baby daddy. Now what?

You go into labour of course, with a matter of fact- “oh. Look Levi. The water broke.” All while refusing to leave the house until you demolish that amazing sandwich he made for you. You go into labour and you yell and grunt like a beast as you squeeze the life out of your baby daddy because he kinda deserves it. You both kinda deserve this pain. Take it as heavenly punishment for being horny and stupid if you will.

And in the middle of it Hanji thinks huh, this feels like a mix of a reality TV show from MTV and a badly written fanfiction. Except Hanji isn’t a teen mom and she’s too old for self-insert fiction that involves a lead singer of a popular band.

But Levi is here, and he doesn’t complain one bit even though he looks like he’s about to pass out. So as far as drunken one night stands go- this is pretty damn aspirational.

The baby enters the world with a huge cry.

“Kid’s got a huge set of lungs…” Levi says, but his own voice is quivering.

“Just like her dad…” Hanji smiles.

As he watches Hanji fall asleep with their baby on her chest, Levi thinks fuck it. Fuck keeping this under wraps. Fuck the fans and them enjoying how Eren gets on his nerves. Fuck Erwin and his “Levi. You’re giving me a headache. You are the cause of this headache.” Because the baby has Hanji’s nose and his eyes and he loves them more than anything in the world.

He snaps a picture of them and tags bigdaddyzoë-

“Welcome to the world, my love.”

—

Reiner can’t help the tears that well in his eyes after seeing the picture Hanji had sent him of the baby-

“He says hi to his favourite uncle!” Was the caption, and Reiner could only reply with a crying cat meme and an incoherent text that Hanji favourites.

He’s on the bus on the way to the hospital when his phone buzzes incessantly. It’s Porco.

“REINER WHAT THE FUCK.”

“LEVI ACKERMAN IS HANJI ZOË’S BABY DADDY?”

“HANJI ZOË MY PHD SUPERVISOR?”

“LEVI ACKERMAN OF NO NAME?”

“REINER WHAT THE FUCK?”

He sends a reply at the entrance of the hospital-

“Welcome to my world”

—

Reiner thinks things are alright. He’s one of the moderator of one of the bigger No Name servers, so he can block and remove people at his discretion. Some days he lets it get to his head. It makes him feel like a king. But today, he’s putting out fires.

Erwin decided their PR strategy was absolutely no strategy, because “they’re zooming in on the pixels Levi. Once they doubt the pixels, they won’t believe anything we’re saying”. With that. Babygate has officially taken on a life of its own. Eren still sends Levi babygate articles to annoy him, and to Hanji because she asked very nicely. Hanji thinks Erwin’s strategy makes sense, Levi thinks it’s just lazy. But Erwin framed a certificate that says “survived a PR crisis (sort of)” that Hanji had insisted be hung up on their wall, so that closes one chapter. Besides, Eren has been spotted going out on dates with a mystery girl. Which has the double effect of diverting attention away from Levi and exacerbating babygate because “see? Told you the company’s doing all they can to prove they’re not together!”

“Can’t you keep it in your pants?” Levi had thrown at Eren, to which he had responded cleverly with a-

“Could’ve said the same for you!”

Touché…

“See? That can’t be Levi! Look at how he’s smiling!”

“That can’t be a baby! Looks like an animatronic to me!”

“Do they even make animatronics that realistic?”

Reiner pins his “no slander” rule- one day they’ll get it. Or at least he would’ve gotten rid of all the people that don’t.

“Who’s this bigdaddyzoë anyway?”

“Maybe she isn’t real? Company probably invented her…”

“Heard she’s a crazy groupie who got knocked up…”

“Heard she’s hot…”

… several people are typing

—

“So… I heard from Reiner you were defending my honour in the server?” Hanji quirks an eyebrow.

Levi shrugs. Whatever goes down in the server stays between Leviackerman173810 (leviackerman and all 173809 permutations of said username had already been taken) and the hundreds of people who haven’t quite figured out he’s the real deal. Besides, Erwin has issued him three warnings so it’s best to lay low for now.

“My hero…” Hanji chuckles, pressing a kiss on Levi’s head. Below them, baby Udo wriggles and yawns against the fabric of Levi’s shirt. Cute.

So Levi Ackerman is your baby daddy. Now what? You look at your son and know he’s going to break hearts like his father of course. And if you’re Levi, you pray to god he never asks about babygate because Hanji has read up enough about it to be considered a connoisseur.

One day the internet will break when they find out the identity of bigdaddyzöe. But for now baby Udo has his parents wrapped around his tiny fingers and he doesn’t quite understand the concept of him being the spawn of every typical band member x y/n fanfiction. Or the centre of a very popular, very absurd, yet strangely believable internet conspiracy theory. Or the canon plot that has sunk one of the biggest No Name ships. And that’s okay.

TW: Cursing, a little angst, mentions of trauma (Levi’s trauma), potential spoilers??? vague mention of Levi having a panic attack, mentions of death

Levi asking you to be his significant other headcanons

What you need in order to be his S/O

-First things first, if you want to be his significant other then you need to be tough, thick skinned, stern, independent, a clean person and incredibly strong willed. Levi doesn’t have the time to take care of you 24/7 

-However that’s not to say he won’t take care of you when you need to be taken care of, just don’t expect him to rush to your beck and call every time you’re in distress.

- You also need to know how to keep your emotions in check because if it’s one thing Levi is damn terrible at- it’s dealing with emotions. I mean- he grew up in the underground and had to harden his heart just to survive down there. I’m not saying he doesn’t care about your feelings, he’s just not the greatest at comforting you when you’re upset because comfort is something he hasn’t felt in a long time. Of course he’ll try his best to make you feel better but don’t expect heartfelt words from his mouth because he shows his love through touch and small acts of kindness.

- You would also need to be friends with him for a long time. I’m talking since Kenny abandoned him type long. I only see him getting together with someone he’s known since childhood or when he first entered the survey corps. Realistically after 10 years of being in the military and seeing so many of his friends die terrible deaths, I don’t picture him opening up emotionally to someone he’s only known for a short period of time.

-I also picture him being really reluctant to ask you to be his S/O because in his world you never know when you’re gonna die. But he goes for it because he realizes if he’s gonna die, he wants to die knowing he spent his life with you.

-Now onto the good stuff!

How he asks you

-Sorry to burst your bubble kids but Levi is the furthest thing from “candle lit dinner on the beach underneath the full moon” he’s closer to “hey we almost died and because of that I’m finally telling you how I feel”

-I imagine it being late at night while everyone else is asleep, you and Levi being the only two captains awake and he walks into the “Captains only meeting room” just a few minutes after you do

-He’d give you a  little hum of acknowledgement and walk over to the back counter where you’re making your favourite tea and just scrunch up your face when he sees what type of tea is brewing

“Really? Peppermint tea? God I don’t know how you drink this shit”

- All you do is roll your eyes as you stir a spoonful of sugar into your cup

“Sorry that some people don’t like black tea, your highness”

-He just let’s out a slightly amused “tch” at the mocking name

-He’ll just watch you for a little as you bustle around the room with quiet footsteps, his eyes following your movements like a hawk.

“What? do I got something on my face?”

-Shit- you caught him looking. He just scoffs and joins you at the table

-”How are your wounds?” he makes light conversation with you to try and distract himself from his sweaty palms. Levi is slowly unraveling before you and he hope’s to the sky above he can admit his feelings before he does something humiliating.

-He can see that you’re about to reply but he cuts you off before you can even formulate a proper sentence.

“Listen, I need to get something off my chest- this shit has been weighing me down for months. Just let me finish before you say anything, I’m losing my damn mind right now”

-His teeth grind together as he tries to form a coherent sentence

“You’re the only person I have left in this shitty world and I’m fucking terrified of losing you. When that bastard titan yanked on your wires I nearly shit out my heart in panic”

-Levi’s face just scrunches up in absolute agony at the thought of you dying right in front of him- you’re the last person he wants to die at the hands of a titan.

“Fuck I’m bad at feelings and shit- what I’m trying to say is that I care about you...I care about you so damn much that when I get nightmares of you the first thing I do is run to your room to check that you’re still breathing”

-Levi is shaking at this point, his eyes are filled with tears that are threatening to fall but he keeps going- he hasn’t told you he loves you yet. 

“God fucking damnit! What I’m trying to say is that I have feelings for you and I can’t hide them anymore because I don’t know how much time either of us have left”

-Cue the waterworks

-This is the first time in all your years of knowing him that you’ve seen him cry- and it scares you shitless because if someone as strong as Levi is full blown sobbing, it must be serious. You didn’t even see him shed a tear when your friends Isabel and Furlan died- just pure anger and murderous rage towards Erwin.

-You’re left completely speechless...how would you even begin to comfort such a broken man? You do the only thing you can think to do and wrap your arms tightly around him while lets out years worth of tears.

-The two of you sit like that for hours, one hand rubbing his back and the other running your fingers through his black hair

“I don’t want a bullshit answer, just give it to me straight- if you don’t want me then tell me right now”

-He looks up at you with bloodshot eyes, cheeks a rosy pink from all the crying and you can feel your heart sink to the pit of your stomach

‘‘I’ll stay by your side until the day I take my very last breath, I can promise you that Levi”

-Your thumb caresses his cheek softly and he gives an ultra rare Levi smile

-First order of business now that this relationship is official, you aren’t allowed to drink that shit in a cup you call peppermint tea”

“Pry my peppermint tea from my cold dead hands, you tasteless dumbass”

-He laughs and gently pushes your shoulder. But what the two of you don’t realize is that Hanji overheard everything and is now on her way to tell every living soul about “the two lovebirds”

-Let’s just say that holding Levi back from killing Hanji was much more difficult than killing an abnormal titan

Stay tuned for the next Levi headcanons post!

Unwanted Feelings

Summary: Three times when Levi didn’t notice you, and the one where he did.

Word count: 1k

Levi Ackerman x Reader

Jealousy wasn’t something you were accustomed to feeling.

In your line of work, it was a risk to put your heart out there. Titans rampaged beyond the walls, one of them could be the death of you at any moment.

The tightness in your chest confused you as you watched your captain interact with the redhead.

They weren’t doing anything even remotely romantic, sitting across from you eating lunch. But the way her eyes roamed his features had you clenching your fist. You tried to reason with your heart, calm the storm brewing within your mind.

Everyone admired Captain Levi, yourself included. It was almost impossible not to.

He was strong, wise, and obviously cared about those around him. Even if he held the world at arms length, he was one of the most empathetic members in the Survey Corps.

He personally requested for you to be placed on his team, to which you eagerly accepted. Petra was a close friend of yours and wouldn’t do anything to purposely spite you. She had known him longer, so of course they were closer.

But when you heard her let out a soft giggle at something Levi said you had to leave. Quickly standing up, all your squad members turned their attention towards you, even the Captain.

“You alright?” The concern in the redhead's voice made your stomach turn.

“Yeah, I forgot I had to go do something before training.” Before any of them could speak up you slid from your seat. “I’ll see you all later.”

-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•

Another unwanted feeling filled your chest when you overheard a group of new recruits talking amongst themselves.

Hearing Levi’s name amongst the chatter made your ears focus on the low murmuring.

“He was kind of scary at first, but isn’t he kind of hot?” The girl was about your height, with her blonde hair pulled back into a loose ponytail.

Her figure screamed feminine as her clothes clutched her nice curves.

Her body wasn’t built and muscular like yours, years of training was to blame. Her eyes shined brightly, a stark contrast to your dull ones.

Even her smile was bright, after losing so many comrades you found it difficult to smile so easily.

Are you kidding me? Mentally slapping yourself for comparing yourself to someone probably close to five years younger than you.

You hate it when men break you down to just your physical appearance, yet here you are doing the same to a total stranger.

Still the venomous voice in the back of your mind lingered, making you zip your brown jacket.

-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•

There wasn’t any reason for you to dislike the man. Commander Erwin was an excellent leader with a brilliant mind.

With his perfect face, neat blonde hair, and gorgeous ocean eyes, this man could pass himself off as a model. As the raven haired man spoke up to the commander, there was always an air of respect towards the blonde.

Captain Levi always obeyed Commander Erwin's every order, no matter how dangerous. It was obvious that the shorter man put all his trust into the commander.

While everyone in the Survey Corps had to put their trust in each other, there was something different about Levi and Erwin.

Erwin believed in Captain Levi’s strength and trusted he would always get the job done, no matter how impossible.

Levi followed Commander Erwin blindly, he truly believed that this man would be humanity's savior.

The bond they shared was deeper than any you’ve seen during your time on duty.

Hearty chuckles leave the blondes mouth as the shorter man fails to hide a rare smirk. They are so easy going around each other, empty shot glasses in their hands.

You had to avert your eyes lest your superiors feel your icy stare. There wasn’t any competition for the seat that Erwin currently held within the captains heart. Love wasn’t the precise term for it, it was something deeper than that.

Risking another glance over towards the pair, scanning there relaxed figures. Roaming up the bodies to land on a sharp gaze. Captain Levi stared straight ahead, eyes catching yours and not letting go.

Time slowed around you, until the giant next to Levi called for his attention once again. Levi released you from his grasp bringing his glass to his lips, not facing but clearly listening to the man besides him.

-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•

It was right after a titan capturing mission. There weren’t any casualties which was almost too hard to believe.

Commander Erwin gave both squad leaders, Hanji and Levi, permission to lead a small group of soldiers to capture a straggler.

In the end we managed to catch a seven and nine meter titan, to which Squad leader Hanji practically cried at. Riding back to base, it was the first time the burden of death didn’t hang over your shoulders. A nice change for once.

“Good work today.” A flat voice spoke besides you. Turning slightly, your short Captain rides to your right. So lost in thought you never even noticed his approach.

“Thank you, Captain.” Not really knowing what else to say considering all you did was play tag with a titan. But not dying was an impressive feat, so you’ll take the rare compliment.

He only looked straight ahead, without any acknowledgement. You half expected him to ride ahead of you, meet up with Hanji. But his horse remained next to yours, a natural silence between you two.

“There should be a new shipment of tea leaves arriving today.” He still stared straight ahead, “You should try a cup after training.”

It took a moment to process what he said, “I don’t know how to make a cup of tea, without it tasting like shit.”

Cringing at how informally you just spoke to your captain, you waited for the impending punishment.

“I’ll teach you.”

You couldn’t stop your head from whipping to your right. He was now slightly facing you, eyes examining your face, gouging your reaction.

Lips tilted upwards for the first time in a while, “I’d love that.”

There was a gleam in his eyes that you’d never seen before. The sun rays met his steel eyes, light revealing small specks of blue with his grey irises.

He broke contact first, looking away with a nod. Motioning for his horse to speed up, to which the black stallion obeyed.

Watching as the Wings of Freedom on his back flapping in the wind.
