[geegers22]

I think it’s sweet that she found a job she didn’t mind doing too much

Also I think it came to a point where Armin would come by and let Hitch go do something else while he held down the fort

Okay but whats Hitch’s excuses for guarding Annie’s crystal like we know Armin was tryna hit but whats Hitch’s excuse 🤨🤨

fuck i cant believe i forgot about those asks! sorry anon....

on a light note: Hitch likes to talk on and on about how Annie was a terrible roommate but she actually REALLY likes her. who doesn't wanna stare at a sleeping beauty 24/7!?

on a more serious note, you have my tags form almost 2 years ago:

Annie surrounded by over-protective freaks and i love that for her

Levi x Drunk! Reader (oneshot)

Safe With You

Thanks for the request ❤️

Levi is sitting with Hanji and Mike in the mess hall, having some relaxing nighttime tea and chatting amongst themselves.

Hanji takes note of Levi’s sour mood as you decided to chaperone your gang of brats at the market instead of having your nightly tea routine with him.

“Where’s your little service dog?” Levi asks Hanji with a cross of his arms.

Hanji laughs. “Don’t call Moblit that! He’s sleeping. He’s had a long day.”

Mike snorts and takes a bite of his pastry. “A long day dealing with you.”

Levi smirks and gives Mike a nod of approval when Jean and Connie walk through the main door, arguing between themselves. The two young men freeze when they make eye contact with their squad leaders.

“Captain! You’re still awake!” Connie blurts out, rubbing the back of his head nervously.

Levi’s face stays deadpanned. “Am I not supposed to be?”

Jean chuckles through clenched teeth, “No it’s just that-“

Before he can finish, Mikasa walks passed them with you thrown across her shoulder.

Hanji immediately stands up as she sees her best friend unmoving. “What happened?!”

Armin and Eren walk behind Mikasa to help her lower you on the bench, letting you lay your head on the table.

Mike scowls as he takes in a big whiff of the air near you. “Definitely drunk.”

“Why the hell is she drunk?” Levi glares as he shakes your shoulder to get you to wake up.

Sasha gags. “I wouldn’t do that. She already threw up on me…twice.”

Armin decides to be the one to speak up and give their captain the story. “Well, a vendor was selling wine and offered for her to taste some. One turned into two, two turned into three…and so on…”

Levi grabs his cravat from around his neck to clean the drool dribbling from the side of your mouth. “And none of you decided to stop her?”

“Y/N never takes a break and it looked like she was enjoying it. Besides, we don’t drink, so we didn’t know wine can do this.” Eren tries to defend him and his friends even though he knows punishment will come anyway.

Mike stifles back a laugh. “Don’t be too hard on them, Captain. Y/N’s always been a lightweight.”

Hanji shrugs in agreement. “Yeah, that part is true. I haven’t seen her this drunk in a really long time though.”

Everyone stops talking when they hear you muttering in your unconscious state.

Mikasa tucks some strands of your hair behind your ear and rubs your back. “Y/N, are you ok?”

“Levi…I want Levi…”

Levi sighs and sits next to you on the bench. “I’m right here. Do you feel sick?”

You nod in discomfort and Hanji gets up to grab you some water.

“Try sitting her up. Her head laying down is probably making her dizzy.” Mike suggests.

Jean and Connie help you sit up and Levi leans you against his side. “You brat, why would you drink like that for?”

Hanji comes back with water and you open your eyes enough to grab the glass shakily, but Levi notices some bruising forming on your knuckles.

“What happened to her hands?” He asks as he helps you drink the water.

Jean cringes as he looks at Connie for help, but Connie shakes his head. “Well…” Jean starts, “The wine vendor was starting to get handsy with Y/N, and I’m not sure if it was the alcohol, but she laid a heavy punch to his face.”

“Ha! Didn’t know she had it in her.” Mike laughs but is silenced by Hanji’s elbow digging into his side as she sees anger spread across Levi’s face.

Armin steps forward quickly. “Don’t worry! Nile was actually nearby and saw it happen. He said he will take care of the vendor. Y/N’s not in trouble!”

“That guy…he was…GROSS…” Your speech slurs and you choke as you down more water. “He’s-….he’s lucky Levi wasn’t there! That wo-“ You hiccup, “Would have been…BAD!”

Hanji tries not to laugh, but she wishes there were a way to capture this moment.

Levi raises a brow. “Oh, it would be?”

You let out a hiccuped laugh. “Yeah! He-Levi…he always protects me…” More water spurts from your mouth as you have a hard time drinking from the cup. “That’s why …I-I…like him so much. We should- get…married!”

Everyone’s mouth drops and Mike can’t help but let out a whistle. “Ah, drunken truths.”

Mike is loving this.

Levi side eyes him as he wipes off your mouth. You smile and fall forward into his chest. “I’m tired…”

Levi pats your back. “Did you want to go to bed?”

You shake your head and wrap your arms around his torso. Suddenly, soft snores are faintly heard.

“Well…at least she can sleep it off at least a little for right now.” Hanji says as she smiles at the sight.

“At least she feels comfortable with you, Captain. She didn’t want any of us to grab her.” Sasha said. “When I tried, she just released the contents of her stomach onto me.”

“I’m shocked you didn’t eat it.” Connie sticks his tongue out at her, but she whacks him in the head.

The crew takes this time to grab some trays of left over dinner and sit at the adjacent table to eat. Levi is holding you close and rubbing your back as you snore softly into his shirt.

You stir awake after twenty minutes, head still foggy but conscious enough to start becoming familiar with your surroundings.

You slowly sit up, and when your eyes focus, you see everyone watching you.

“Hey, girly! You alright now?” Hanji smiles.

You grimace and look to your side and see Levi. You are exhausted and your head is starting to pound, so you slide into his lap and burry your face into his neck.

“Did I say you can get into my space, brat?” He whispers in your ear.

You shake your head no. You didn’t care who was watching, Levi looked mighty comfortable to lay on.

He sighs. “How about I take you to bed?”

“Nooo!” You whimper. “I want to stay with you!”

“Ok, I’ll stay but you are going to lay in bed.” Levi hooks an arm under your legs and picks you up.

He gives all the brats a “thank you” for watching over you, and then carries you to his room.

When he gets there, he lays you on his bed and starts taking off your shoes.

“Levviiii…stay here!” You groan out.

He clicks his tongue and rubs your hand. “Why do you want me to stay so bad?”

You burry your face deeper into the pillow. “Safe.” Is all you mutter before passing out again.

Levi frowns as he looks at your bruised knuckles. You were right when you said he would kill that vendor for touching you, and you were right in saying he would keep you safe.

He smiles gently and crawls in bed behind you, pulling you close to his chest as he spoons you from behind.

“You reek.” He says as he buries his face into the back of your neck.

Hey can do yandere levi ackerman and hang Zoe and Erwin please

INCLUDES: levi ackermann, erwin smith, hanji zoe WARNINGS: Yandere content, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, abuse, possessiveness, obsessiveness, stalking, clinginess, delusion, paranoia, overprotectiveness, mentions of kidnapping, death, manipulation, gas-lighting, murder, suicide, cannibalism, mutilation NAVIGATION: Attack on Titan Masterlist | part 1 (eren, mikasa, christa, armin)

Levi Ackermann:

Typ of Yandere:

Overprotective: More than anything, he wants you to survive. More than anyone, he knows how brutal the world is out there. Man-eating titans or people who are as disgusting as animals, he has seen it all. And Levi also knows how weak you are in comparison. You could never get through this, not without him protecting you. That is why he has made it his mission to prevent you from being on the list of the dead as well. And he will do it as long as he is able to.

Rude: The biggest tsundere-yandere out there. He still calls you an idiot and is not above criticizing you harshly for doing something stupid in his eyes. Honestly, sometimes you really wonder if it's true when he says he loves you. But given the fact that he is a yandere, that is a question you ask yourself only briefly lol.

Dependence: Honestly, this man is just miserable. he lost everything so many times that he stopped counting. Is it an excuse for the way he treats you? No. But you can understand why. He clings to the little bit of luck he still has in his life. You are like the air he needs to breathe. Without you, he'd be like a fish trapped on dry land.

How and when started the obsession:

It takes a long time for Levi to let you get close to him, but once that hurdle is crossed, it doesn't take long for him to snap given the world you both live in.

Do they know that their feelings are unhealthy/not normal?

To a certain degree, yes. But he would consider it natural that he wants to protect you with every fiber of his being.

How far are they willing to go?

Murder: Levi is definitely capable of killing someone without much difficulty. And when it comes to your safety and well-being, he wouldn't hesitate for a second. However, Levi would not kill any potential rivals.

Hurting you: No, Levi would never hurt you physically. However, his blunt words are another story.

Blackmail: If something were to arise, then yes, but Levi wouldn't go out of his way to dig things up. But he would definitely use his position to make sure you are in his squad or don't participate in certain missions.

Kidnapping: It wouldn't be his first choice to kidnap you, because generally, Levi wants you to be happy and do the things you like (as long as you don't put yourself in danger that is). But if you two reach a point where Levi feels that you simply can't learn from your mistakes and continue to act recklessly over and over again, then he will see no other option than to physically restrain you. So that you are no longer a danger to yourself.

Final stage: Honestly the person who is responsible for your death, should just kill themselves before Levi has the chance to get them himself. He will not let them get away. It could take years and Levi would still be as adamant to make the person, who killed you suffer. He would never forget and in the end, he would get to them, no matter where they might try to flee to. The world is too small to hide from Levi Ackermann.

What is it overall like to have them as a Yandere?

As mentioned earlier, Levi is just miserable. He is so out of touch with his feelings that he would probably never confess his feelings to you on his own and you would have to make the first move. Which is why a scenario of rejection is unlikely. If you were to correctly interpret his behavior and tell him that you don't love him, it would hurt him a lot inside, but he wouldn't do anything to you. He wouldn't kidnap you or pressure you into a relationship. Levi doesn't have a high opinion of himself in that regard and probably doesn't think he's worthy of your companionship anyway. He would still stay by your side and protect you, but he doesn't expect anything in return. Knowing that you're safe is good enough for him.

Levi is probably one of the better Yanderes to have. Apart from his overprotectiveness he is pretty reasonable and will actually listen to you if you have complaints.

Erwin Smith:

Typ of Yandere:

Manipulative: This man has a way with words. He could bring someone to jump willingly off a cliff if he wanted to. The key word here is "if he wanted to". I have a hard time imagining that he would ever manipulate you. He is too controlled and aware of himself for that.

Stalker: Because of his position as the Commander of the Survey Corps, he doesn't have a lot of time to stalk you. But it is his favorite free time activity. Just watching you do your daily tasks fills him with more joy than you could ever imagine.

Disappearance: Every day anew he sends soldiers to their death. He is convinced that he does not deserve you and that you will be better off with someone else. Which is why he will eventually leave you. It is even more likely that he has never approached at all.

How and when started the obsession:

Erwin feels lonely deep down. And sometimes he finds himself wishing he had someone by his side. But because of his opinion of himself, he never brought himself to change your relationship as comrades into something deeper. It was only a matter of time before all these suppressed emotions grew into something unhealthy.

Do they know that their feelings are unhealthy/not normal?

Yes and no. He was already conflicted enough with his normal feelings, so he didn't notice the change in the beginning.

How far are they willing to go?

Murder: No, never. It would never even cross his mind.

Hurting you: He would never do that either.

Blackmail: Even if he doesn't like to admit it, there have been situations where he has taken advantage of his position and made sure that this one person, who obviously was interested in you, suddenly stays miles away from you.

Kidnapping: If he wanted, he would be able to make you disappear without anyone finding even a trace of you ever again. But before it would ever come to that, he would have already distanced himself from you.

Final stage: Not even a single hair on your head would be harmed during the whole time of his obsession. Even in the end, he would never think of killing you. Maybe he thought about ending his own life in desperate hours, but he never went through with it. After all, he still had a dream.

What is it overall like to have them as a Yandere?

Honestly, you probably never really noticed his intense feelings. The worst thing that can happen to you with him is that someone from your circle of acquaintances suddenly turns away from you for reasons unknown to you.

Hanji Zoe:

Typ of Yandere:

Manipulative: Hanji is a master of gaslighting and other manipulative tactics, due to their high intelligence. As soon as you have the slightest idea about their real intentions, they immediately make you doubt yourself. They twist stories, deny things, and immediately accuse you of those actions yourself. Hanji can predict your every move. They are always one step ahead of you. Not in a million years could you ever outsmart them. It's a game for them, honestly.

Bizarre-Seeking: Of course, someone like Hanji, who is already considered strange by many for her nature anyway, must have strange preferences. When it comes to things like strands of hair, you might be able to overlook it, but she definitely collects gross things too, like your fingernails or blood. Hanji has a whole shrine filled with your things. It is their most precious possession, next to you, of course.

Restraints: The amount of time you spend with Hanji is never enough for them. It was only a matter of time before Hanji decided that the best thing for you would be to never leave their side again. Preferably, they tie you directly to them, but if that's not possible, then a chair or the like is fine for a short time.

How and when started the obsession:

I mean, Hanji has always been a little…. strange. You probably never know them any other way. But their obsession with you started when you listened to them talk for hours about Titan experiments.

Do they know that their feelings are unhealthy/not normal?

No, they don't. Hanji thinks it's completely normal to feel this way about their significant other. They don't even think it's weird that they collect your fingernails and such. If you judge them for it, then they rather think that you are the weird one. After all, why should Hanji waste such precious things or not pay any attention to them at all?

How far are they willing to go?

Murder: Hanji would definitely kill people who stand in their way. And God have mercy on anyone they chose to kill. Hanji shows no mercy and no one will ever see the mutilated remains of their victims again. Unless they choose for their own amusement to send the victim's relatives the head.

Hurting you: Should you repeatedly try to leave their side, then Hanji is not above breaking your ankles, or legs, should she see it as more fitting. Just because you've won their love and affection doesn't mean you're saved from their more violent traits. In fact, it is quite the opposite - it just makes you more interesting. There are times when Hanji tortures you or acts out their strange tendencies and cuts off your fingers to add them to their shrine. If you cry the whole time and mess up your beautiful eyes with tears, then it's better if Hanji cuts them out for you to preserve their beauty, right?

Blackmail: In case of minor incidents or at the beginning of your relationship, Hanji usually manipulated you, not infrequently with blackmail. In the later stage, however, they rather choose physical violence. So they usually only blackmail you for fun.

Kidnapping: Hanji will definitely kidnap you and bind you to them forever. There is no other outcome.

Final stage: Hanji can accidentally kill you if she tries to cut anything off of you to be able to keep it. But if you keep rejecting them or even start hating them, they will see no other way than to kill you. Now she can shape you the way she wants. Your body will remain with her forever, as the most beautiful part of her shrine. Should you die due to natural causes, then she will eat your dead body so that you can finally be one again.

What is it overall like to have them as a Yandere?

Hanji is definitely the worst and most dangerous yandere of them all. Every one of your friends and family members runs the risk of being brutally murdered by them. And even you are not spared. The possibility that you die as her darling is incredibly high. And should you not be dead, then you are highly mutilated and disfigured. With them you always walk on eggshells, afraid of what they might do. In addition, you never have a free minute from them, because they always have you near them, if not directly tied to them.

[hanjisungslag]

hiiii!! so sorryyy idk if you take requests BUTT could you do headcannons of being in an argument with the aot characters?

🗣️ aot characters & arguments

characters involved: eren, armin, mikasa, connie, jean, sasha, reiner, annie, bertolt, erwin, levi & hange

notes: i do take requests indeed!! :3 i luv angst, i hope this is gd♡

✧ eren jaeger - 

okay, when you guys argue it’s honestly more cute than anything because you’re both so protective of one another. neither of you wanted each other to join the scouts because it was so dangerous but, you both joined anyways obviously. oh my god, you guys non-stop bicker when there’s a mission! and don’t even get me started if you get put into different teams😭 you start TWEAKINGG. after he finds out he’s the attack titan, oh it gets 10x worse. his absolute biggest fear is losing control and hurting you - he’s already so conflicted, confused & felt like an outcast. he definitely lashes out more and becomes snappier than usual but, it does come from a place of sincerity.

when this happens, you just leave it be. as soon as it’s not just bickering anymore, when a voice is raised or an insult is made, you just leave it. you understand he’s going through a lot and just needs a minute but, TRUST ME! when you walk off, you make sure it is known that your feelings are hurt.

“i said no! you are not being on my team! im going with the levi squad, thats final.”

✧ armin arlert -

you both love each other very much but, goddamn you’re both so up your own arses! you are the ‘smart couple’ you are both strategic and witty and have your own way you go about things. so, when it comes to deciding whose plan is better, you always think yours is better and admin thinks his is better. this has (and probably always will be) the main root of your arguments, tbh. nobody likes to get involved either because if someone picks a side then even more havoc will break lose. the only people who’ve ever come between you two is: mikasa, levi & erwin.

it’s just like a debate, you know the ones on jubilee where it’s just people speaking over each other with different facts and sources? literally you two. you both would keep going until the end of time if you didn’t need to sleep, eat and drink water. it’s never that serious at the end of the day, you both love each other and i GUESS you can appreciate each others plans albeit you both think yours is better.

“if you actually listen to me when i say, my layout is better! look at how easy it is to manoeuvre from the castle to the forest!”

✧ mikasa ackerman -

wash the damn scarf. that is all you ask of her. she has literally never washed it and you love but jesus christ, stink LINGERS. not only do you think it’s weird she doesn’t wash it but, it’s also from eren… now, you know mikasa’s lore, of course. however, it’s really hard to get over your girlfriend having this deep love for this smelly scarf that her ex-crush gave to her after he literally saved her from being kidnapped. at first, you try to ignore it but it gets to a point where you sit down and talk to her but, she is not having it. she clearly cares very, very deeply for this scarf and will defend it. it’s really awkward conversation that slowly turns into raised voices and some opinionated things being raised.

“why are you getting jealous over a scarf? that’s so stupid! i just have fond memories with it!”

✧ connie springer -

again, not so much major arguments but just bickers. it usually starts as a joke but slowly but surely divulges into an argument about something stupid. one time, someone ate the last of jean’s meal that his mum made for him and he saved until today, obviously he was super upset and jokingly you blamed connie. at first, all was well, laughs were being heard and he even poked fun at you but, somewhere along the way it became more serious for you two, you genuinely suspected connie of eating jean’s meal and connie was getting visibly more upset.

“that was so not me! why are you telling them that?! i didn’t eat it, y/n!”

jean regretted asking who ate his food.

✧ jean kirstein -

jean is unfortunately a jealous guy. not for any malicious reasons, he’s just a bit insecure gang! he’s more scared that you’ll leave him for someone ‘better’ more than anything but, these feelings of insecurity manifest as jealously. he’d get jealous over you spending time with people like eren, mikasa or armin. in so many aspects, they’re better than him (in his eyes) and this will just make him reallyyy pissy. being in an argument with jean is painstakingly ambiguous like he never straight up says it, it’s always sly remarks or dry responses from him for a while. eventually, you know something is up and question him but he will avoid answering like the plague and it’s just so, so frustrating! eventually, when you break your calm demeanour, he will also break his ‘nonchalant-ness’ and just shout about how he feels.

he crossed his arms, “i just don’t understand why you need to be around him so much, you have me?”

✧ sasha braus -

absolutely nothing. i’m sorry but, she is too sweet and loving. IM SORRY, i’m sorry… i tried so hard to think of something but this queen is too perfect. at most, she would snap at you in high stress situations but she would never turn it into an argument. for example, if you told her to slow down her eating because you’re going on a mission but, she hasn’t eaten much that day she may snap and tell you to “let her do what she wants” but, she’s sooo quick to recover and apologise. literally not even giving you a second to even think about arguing with her!!

“ah, i’m sorry. you’re right, i don’t wanna be sick while flying through the air, huh?” she pouts.

✧ reiner braun -

you’re both from marley, you know damn well what you’re doing here but it seems reiner is straying off path. you’re there to try and remind him why you’re there and this leads to so many arguments. his split personality also plays a role in the arguments because it’s so.. scary and confusing for you because one moment he’s defending eldians than the next, he’s shouting at you about how he ‘knows the plan’.

when talking about stuff like this, since it’s extra sensitive for reiner he definitely flips out. i’m talking shouting, angry grunting, clenching his fists into balls and holding them against his forehead so he doesn’t fully crash tf out. he’s just as confused and scared as you are about his split personality but, he doesn’t want to seem weak or to seem like he’s losing sight of what is ‘right’ - it gets him really worked up. obviously, you stand your ground against him, he doesn’t scare you when you’re arguing. you’ve known him for so long.. you feel like he just needs to be guided.

“when did i ever say i liked them? yes, they’re okay people to be around for now but— no, i never said that! i know what they are, you don’t remind to tell me, y/n!”

✧ annie leonhart -

just the fact she’s cold and distant, it makes it really hard to actually have a relationship with her. at first, she was closed off COMPLETELY but cracks began to show and eventually, you thought you were at a good point with each other but, you kind of realised you didn’t know that much about annie. you try to ask questions to get her to open up but, she is one tough egg to crack so eventually, you just ask! hoping to help her more than anything but, this leads to an argument…

after this first argument, it became pretty regular like once every few weeks this would happen. you get super frustrated because she acts like she doesn’t even care! so, you’re shouting and getting really passionate while she sits there, looking pissed off and bored, rolling her eyes and scoffing. she doesn’t see the need to open up to you, she’s done what she thinks is ‘enough’ in her books.

“what do you want me to say? i’m not an open book, that’s just how i am. we’re all gonna end up dead, anyways.”

✧ bertolt hoover -

sigh… oh bert. every time you feel yourself developing further into your relationship with bert, his friends seem to pull him back. you’re still not quite sure why and they always seem to be giving side eyes or glances when he talks about his life - its starting to piss you off, rightfully so. you feel like he’s got two other side hoes watching yours and his every move! you being this up in subtle ways as to not seem like a crazy, jealous partner but eventually you burst and tell him how you really feel.

arguing with sweet bert isn’t fun because you can tell he tries so hard to please everyone in the situation, whether it’s you, him or now in this case, his friends too. he will raise his voice but, not in a bad way just in a general sense, things are getting heated, his voice will raise and he will fling his arms and hands. he’s a very expressive man when arguing because he is so passionate about it.

“y/n, they’re my friends! they’re just trying to protect me, why are you jealous?”

✧ erwin smith -

there’s so such things as arguments in your relationship, erwin likes to call them ‘mutual disagreements’ as your both in the scouts, he knows your time is limited. it’s a morbid and pessimistic way to think but, you have to be realistic when you live such a deadly lifestyle. he doesn’t want to take your time together for granted - plus, he’s a MAN like, he is calm and collected and will always hear you out.

you both start off calm, having a mature conversation about whatever it is that is bothering you but, when you start getting rowdier that’s when erwin quells the flames quickly. he takes a deep breath, hears you out and calmly walks you through it all. he’s so compassionate about it, i cant omg. he’ll gently place a hand over your own hand or on your shoulder if you’re standing, letting you know he’s present, he’ll sweetly talk you down, eventually calming you down and usually you’ll both say apologises or just general sweet statements and move on!

“i’m sorry, y/n. no, i’m glad you talked to me about this.”

✧ levi ackerman -

oh lord, being in an argument with levi ackerman is nawwtt fun. i’m sorry but, i’d kms if i argued with levi 😭. this man has such an awful resting bitch face as it is but, imagine his face when he’s arguing with you? IF LOOKS COULD KILL. he cant hide his emotions, so when you’re arguing even if he’s trying to be somewhat nice, his face says it all. usually he’ll roll his eyes and scoff if it’s something minor, he’ll hear you out, maybe give a half arsed apology or some sort of nice gesture to make sure you’re not upset however, if it’s a big issue oh brother…

silent treatment, i fear. he is so bad at communicating his feels correctly and often feels confused because this mf ain’t been in love before?! it gets too a point where he’s so mad, he just cant even begin to think of anything to say to you. you’ll be there raising your voice, becoming so passionate and when you ask what he thinks, he’ll say “i have nothing to say.” then boom, silent treatment. however, he’s bad with his words… but good with his actions. he still wants you to know he cares, you two could be in the most rancid moods but, you’ll go to your room and find your clothes ironed and folded🥲.

✧ hange zoë -

oh my sweet hange, my probably neurological challenged sweet hange… an argument with them would definitely stem from them spending more time with titans than you. when sawney and bean were around, you weren’t getting ANY time of day with them, trust. at first, you didn’t want to say anything because of course, you understand! the lifetime you guys are living in, things like hange’s research is soo important but, you can’t help but feel neglected sometimes.

when you finally bring it up, an argument ensues. neither of you really shout or anything, it’s just that kind of weird sort of raised, high pitched voice people get when you’re really frustrated. you both stay relatively calm for the situation you’re in but, you can totally tell you’re both so frustrated because hange just doesn’t see the problem. when you guys argue like this, it usually just goes in circles and after a while you both decide to mutually give up and leave it for another day.

“it’s all for science and the greater good of humanity though, i don’t understand?”

AOT characters relationships with you.....

Levi Ackerman

At first your relationship with Levi wasn't good at all. You thought he's an arrogant bastard and he thought you're a lazy assed useless doctor who won't survive even a second on the battlefield. He got more pissed on you because he was ordered to train a fragile person like you and had to turn you into a soldier.

On the other hand, you used to get so pissed with him because he was a strict and harsh trainer. Also not to mention he used to insult you as often as he could. You almost shouted at him every day. But little did none of you two know, Levi liked it when you would get angry at him and you really liked shouting at him.

Slowly but surely, you two started to get close. You started to heal his mental and physical wounds, he focused on making you stronger. Not to mention he never hesitated to let anyone know that he was your protector and he would show no mercy to anyone or anything which will try to hurt you in any way.

But with you he was soft. He would cry on your shoulder, reveal his real feelings to you. You helped him to get out of his childhood trauma, showed him how amazing love and physical affection is.... You made him love you so hard that getting worried if losing you, he dragged your ass to the church and married you just when he got the chance. And thus you two become the ideal couple of the survey corps.

Hange Zoe

She's your best friend in the survey corps. Also not to mention you two spend the most time together. You two are like sisters to each other, you pulling her to shower she's pulling you out of your bed in the morning. Though there's a lot of difference between you two.... You two never fail to get along.

Also, she's the main supporting character in your relationship with Levi. Also the main teaser too!

Erwin Smith

Your relationship with him is formal but you two both respect each other. You slowly but surely get his trust and he started to trust you so much that he never imagined making you a pawn of his bet. Also you both support each other mentally if you two get the chance. Like he would console you if you wouldn't be able to save a soldier's life and you would console him if one of his plans would accidentally fail.

Since you were a member of this squad too and you spent most of your time with them, your relationship with them was pretty friendly. Especially with Petra, you cared for her like she was your little sister. Also you and Oluo would try to mimic Levi together, have fun chatting with Eld and Gunther. They even forced you to meet their family... That's how close you were with them. You were the breath of fresh air and happiness in the squad.

Mike Zacharias

Your relationship with him was just how two colleagues relationship should be. You two would meet often and talk about the normal things out of formality. Also you liked how amazing his smelling ability was, it always amused you.

Eren, Mikasa and Armin

You always cared for them as you little siblings. Especially Armin, who likes to read books just like you. You would chat with him for hours about your favourite books and not to mention support his amazing ideas and encourage him since he was so insecure about himself.

Eren and you had spent enough quality time together. He was so scared of Levi and you would try to reassure him as you would laugh seeing his scared expressions. Also most of the time you two would talk about the titan abilities and you would try to find out how many similarities titans and humans had until it was discovered that titans are actually humans.

Mikasa and you never really spend that much time together.... But you always respected her for her strength and protectiveness and she loved you for always saving Eren's ass from Levi.

Jean Connie and Sasha

Just like the previous trio, you cared for these three the same. Especially Sasha, you probably cared for her the most. You find her always the cutest and the most adorable. You litarery cared for her so much that you sometimes gave her the opportunity to sneak in the kitchen to steal food. Also you loved cooking for her and enjoyed seeing how happily she ate them.

As for Jean and Connie, you would always enjoy their jokes and stupidity. You would sometimes joke with them too to reduce some weight from your shoulder. They were a refreshment for you from the cruel life of the survey corps.

Historia Reiss

You always felt pity for her. You didn't know her until her true identity was revealed. After she became queen and started to work for the homeless-unwanted children, you helped her to run the orphanage and to manage the kids. You were with her during her pregnancy period and helped her to give birth.

A/N: Hello there everyone! So I decided to write my thoughts on what your relationship would look like with the AOT characters. Of course it's my and only my thinking, you guys can think in your way. Here you means 🫵 (if you wanna imagine yourself) also me and my oc.... The oc of the story I've been writing on my ao3 account.

So that's it! Hope ya all have a great day!

+ CUP PROTECTION SQUAD ; ft. eren , armin , jean , & connie .

+ synopsis ; how do the aot boys protect ya cup at the club?

+ cw ; mentions of blood & violence .

you were knee deep into your much-deserved friday night out. alongside you gang of closest friends, you partied hard and drank harder. refilling your solo cup for the umpteenth time in the last hour, you groaned at that familiar feeling tugging at your bladder: you had to pee. peeling away from your girls on the crowded dance floor, you squeeze through sweaty bodies until you run into (eren/armin/jean/connie). with a breath of relief, you push your cup into his hard chest, voice laced with desperation as you beg, “i gotta piss so bad! could you keep an eye on my cup for me?”

# EREN JAEGER .

“whatever,” eren yells over the music, watching as you disappear back into the crowd.

acts all nonchalant, but in reality, he takes this little mundane task almost too serious.

eren’ll just stand in that exact spot, arms crossed, cup in hand, wearing the meanest expression. he knows he’s intimidating, and uses it as an advantage to ward off any creeps.

let’s say a situation does arise where someone comes up to him, trying to tamper with your drink. oh boy, eren’s irrational ass would toss the cup aside, uncaring if it spills, and dragging the fucker outside in the alley to scrap.

don’t worry, he’d buy you another vodka spritz or ‘whatever girly shit you drink.’

overall cup-holding rating: D-

you can’t find eren when you return from the bathroom. chocking it up to him being a flaky prick, you shrug his absence off and meet back up with mikasa and sasha on the dance floor.

it isn’t until an hour later that you feel a tap on your shoulder. you smile, assuming it’s annie or hitch, but that smile plummets the moment your eyes land on eren. he’s sporting a busted lip, and there’s a gash over his thick eyebrow that’s gushing a bloody river down the side of his sharp face. you open your mouth to say something, anything, but you were cut off by eren shoving a cup into your personal space.

“i spilt your drink,” eren explains, as if he’s not all bruised and bloody. “hope you like vodka.”

# ARMIN ARLERT .

“oh my goodness, of course i can,” armin says sweetly, flashing a gentle smile at you. “i’ll be waiting right here for you, ‘kay?”

is happy to help you however he can, even if it’s doing something as simple as watching over your drink.

armin will hold a hand over the rim of your solo cup, mindlessly swaying to the beat of whatever song is playing in the club as he patiently waits for your arrival.

if somebody does happen to approach him, asking to mess with your drink, armin won’t hesitate to drop his angel persona and get a little snippy.

“do you know how creepy you look asking to see another person’s drink like that? you’ve got about ten seconds to get lost before i call my buddies and have them handle you.”

armin would teach the perv a lesson himself, but he’d rather not leave the spot he told you to meet him at. sicking eren, jean, and connie on the gross bastard was the next best option.

the threat always works like a charm, and armin is able to protect your cup with spilling a drop.

overall cup-holding rating: A+

“oh, ‘min,” you sighed. the man had been glued in the same position you’d left him in, accompanied by a soft smile. “thank you so, so much. sorry to be such a burden.”

“nonsense,” armin shrugged off your worries, all the while trying to shake off the tiny blush that had seeped through his cheeks at your clumsiness. “you could never be a burden, not in a million years. i’m glad you came to me, y/n.”

he passed your beverage back to you, and all you could do was blink up at him, stunned by his unadulterated kindness. though, that was armin for you: always the selfless type, his generosity shouldn’t be surprise. “really?”

“really,” the blonde affirmed, scratching the back of his neck as he peered wearily out into the sea of strangers, mingling and dancing. “who knows what kind of creeps are here tonight. it’s just… i’m happy that you trust me to keep you safe. that’s all.”

# JEAN KIRSTEIN .

“me?” jean asks, baffled, before sputtering out a few more words, “i mean, sure. yeah, no-no problem at all, y/n.”

HE’S SO DRAMATIC, a literal nervous wreck for no reason. poor baby is just a 6’4 ball of raging anxiety 24/7 ):

is sweating bullets in the club, tuning out all other noises or people or anything that could possibly serve as a distraction.

jean’s clutching the plastic cup to his chest, like a mother holding her newborn. he places the rim beneath his jaw, using it as a makeshift cover.

it’s unlikely that anyone approaches jean in pursuit of your drink—his overwhelming height does wonders scaring off any potential creeps—but on the off chance someone does come up to jean, asking to take a peek at your cup, he’ll pull the good ole’ ‘girlfriend’ card out real quick.

“why do you wanna see my girlfriend’s drink?”

that mixed with a mean mug from jean is the perfect combination to get any dude to fuck off immediately.

overall cup-holding rating: B-

“gah, sorry i took so long,” you sweatdropped, hanging your head as you stood before jean. “the line for the bathroom was ridiculous.”

“don’t worry, ‘m always happy to help you,” jean smiled, quickly wiping away some of the sweat that had beaded along his brow with the back of his wrist. “your cup, madam.”

he presented the plastic cup to you rather formally, an action that had your eyes crinkling with a goofy laugh. “thank you, sir jean,” you played along, dropping a courtesy before accepting your drink.

jean flushed, maybe because of your laugh? or maybe because you matched his dorky energy so well? or maybe it’s just because you’re you. “anytime.”

# CONNIE SPRINGER .

“you know i gotchu mama,” connie smiled easily, grabbing the cup and swirling it around. “imma make this cup my biatch.”

connie is a certified idiot, but we all knew this.

he’d do so good for the first few minutes, waiting for you to return with your cup secured in both his large hands.

but one minute turns into five, which turns into ten, and the pink liquid dancing in your cup starts to look fucking delicious.

‘one sip wouldn’t hurt, right?’

but one sip turns into five, which turns into ten, and suddenly the delicious, pink liquid is now almost fully gone. it’s not his fault, dammit! he blames you for having the best taste in drinks.

nobody would even approach connie, no, they would all think it was his drink with the way he downed half the fucking cup.

overall cup-holding rating: F-

“you’re a life saver con’,” you cheer upon finally returning back to your friend. he looks slightly more tipsy than when you’d left, his eyelids low and his tongue pressed cheekily against his canines.

“what would you do without me?” connie asks, passing you back your cup.

“i don’t kn—” you paused, feeling the weight of the solo cup in your hands. with a suspicious glare, you queried, “connie, why is my cup so light?”

he just smiled, licking his lips before shrugging like the bastard he is.

Captain, Truth or Dare?

Levi x Reader

The open field outside the walls bathed in the soft saturated hues of the evening, as you and your comrades sat in a circle. Sasha had coerced everyone into playing ‘Truth or Dare’. Levi desperately wanted to find a quiet spot, away from hearing this nonsensical game, but had to stay close for protective duty.

Sasha smirked mischievously at you. "Alright, y/n, Spill it. Who do you have a crush on in the squad?”

A collective murmur of protest echoed through the group, "yeah we agreed not to ask that," you replied.

The air hung in silence as your refusal to answer left the question lingering. Sasha leaned in with a conspiratorial glint in her eye, "fine, fine. Then what's your ideal type of guy?"

You bit your lower lip, contemplating how to navigate this minefield without revealing too much. You had always been terrified that you would be kicked out of the squad if you revealed who had been occupying your thoughts all the time. Though word had it that Captain Levi gave you so much preferential treatment that a dismissal would never occur.

"I don't know," you began, strategically choosing to divert your true thoughts.

"Maybe someone carefree," thinking about his meticulous attention to detail.

"Laid-back," you continued, a complete opposite of Levi’s stern demeanour.

"Openly expressive," you added, against his highly reserved nature.

"A bit of a bad boy?" you chuckled, masking your captain’s discipline.

Connie giggled, "okay, so Captain is out."

Armin chimed in, "that's for sure."

Your words which painted a picture of an antithesis of Levi’s persona left him with disappointment subtly flickering in his eyes. He felt an unusually sudden twist in emotions, but ensured none of his feelings surfaced. Though he mastered the art of concealment, you noticed the tightening of his jaw when you glanced over at him, unsure of what it suggested.

Jean interjected teasingly. "Sounds like you're describing Eren."

You dismissed Jean's comment with a shake of your head, finding it utterly ridiculous. "Eren is way too young for me."

Eren, with an offended sneer on his face, "Uh, three years is barely any difference."

Eyes narrowed, you retorted, "Uh, yes it is."

Eren persisted, his playful grin widening, "You're just being prejudiced against younger guys. Bet you wouldn’t say the same thing about a man three years older."

Levi, quietly eavesdropping on the exchange, side-eyed the group, a secret indication of his curiosity. All eyes turned to you as the conversation hung in the air.

"Fine, this time you're right, a man three years older would definitely be perfect for me." You admitted, thinking it was a safe answer, while Eren snickered in victory.

The atmosphere shifted as Sasha, always eager for some excitement, seized the opportunity. "Alright, Captain, truth or dare?"

Ignoring Sasha entirely, Levi remained aloof, leaving the air thick with awkwardness.

Sasha pressed on, undeterred by the captain's silence, "okay truth! So captain, what is your birth year? I mean you know all of our ages, could we have an exchange of clarity?"

The question hung in the air, and for a moment, the entire field seemed to hold its breath. Levi's eyes flickered, a subtle change in his typically stoic expression.

"829," Levi admitted. A collective gasp of disbelief echoed through the group. You, too, were taken aback; yes he had a youthful appearance, but his experience was nothing short of astonishing, so you always assumed he was at least 7 years your senior.

“WAIT, that means Captain is three years older than y/n?!” Eren exclaimed, his surprise mirroring your own.

Sasha erupted into laughter, "Y/n, what were you saying again, about a man three years older?"

“Perfect for you?” Jean added to the fire.

The entire group joined in, a chorus of laughter that seemed to reverberate through the field. Heat rushed to your face, the teasing turning your cheeks crimson as you wished to dive into a deep hole.

Seeing your vulnerable body language, Levi intervened, breaking the moment with his sternness. He threw a bunch of papers towards the group, the rustle of the pages cutting through the laughter,

"Break is over. First person to collect all the plants listed gets extra meat for dinner tonight."

The shift from amusement to duty was swift, and the group dispersed as everyone refocused on the mission at hand. You and Levi locked eyes for a brief but electrifying moment before you shamefully looked away, then trudged off into the fields.

Here Before and After Me | Hange x Reader Fluff

masterlist

Summary: Levi overheard another conversation the night before retaking Wall Maria. He didn’t know that his best friend had someone special to them.

Word Count: 1.4k

Megan's Note: Song correlation: "My Love Mine All Mine" by Mitski. FINALS ARE DONE I GOT ALL As THIS SEMESTER!! I have two weeks before summer semester and vacations start!!! I will be writing more!! I still write for Levi <3 I just want to write a little for Hange because I want her strap! Posted: 5/16/24

As Levi sat against the wall, he thought about Armin’s words. Could there really be a sea and it's full of salt? These kids are full of dreams. The stars were brighter than usual and it reminded him of the first night he saw stars. Levi thought about how far he had come. How many he has lost. He ached at the intrusive thought of every comrade he couldn’t save. If the sea were real, Erwin would want to be there. They’re so close. When they go back to Shiganshina and retake Wall Maria they will be able to see what else is beyond the wall. He didn’t want to admit it, but he would do anything for Erwin, Hange, Eren, and his squad to discover what was out there. Together. 

Levi heard a thump in the distance. He looked over his shoulder to see hair he recognized, kissing another person against the wall. It looked like another girl. Was Hange kissing a girl? How drunk was Hange? When Hange pulled away he saw your face. He’s seen you before. When Miche was alive you were in his squad. Levi barely recalled seeing you around Hange. He remembered you being one of the scouts who fired a cannon at the female titan in the forest. Were you drunk? 

He felt embarrassed hearing his best friend Hange and you make out and whimpering. Levi should not be hearing this. Hange pulled away and pressed her forehead against yours, you both were catching your breath. 

“Can I say something selfish?” Hange whispered. 

“What’s the matter, Hange?” Your inner eyebrows subtly went up and Levi watched Hange take her hands off your waist and trailed down your arms to hold both your hands in hers. Levi never heard of his friend being involved with anyone. He had never seen her flirt with you and when has this begun? Hange exhaled longingly. 

“It’s selfish . . . but sometimes I dream of running away from this . . .” Hange started and though she looked down, you fondly looked through the lens of her glasses, into her eyes. “I’ve thought about you and I . . . Somewhere safe. Like maybe in a cabin in a forest . . . and no one knows where we are.” Hange sniffed. Levi saw you and Hange’s softness. He could tell Hange cared about you and was sincere. She wasn’t drunk. Levi knew he should not be hearing your private conversation. She rubbed one of your arms gently. “I want to be selfish and have a life with you . . . I dream of you and I married. You could read your books, grow the flowers you’ve always talked about, cook, and do whatever you want. I could take care of us. We’d be safe.”  

Levi sighed. Hange had someone special. He did not know Hange had this side of her hidden away. She always been open and enthusiastic about the people and things she loves. Hange kept you deep in her heart, protected from harm. 

“Hange, you’re going to make me cry . . .” Your admiration was clear. Hange kissed you harder and grabbed your face. Levi looked away, back at the wall, pretending he didn’t know you were there. He felt awful hearing your whimpers that should be private between the two of you. 

“These years with you have brought light to my life. Y/N, you keep me going. You are the sole reason why I want to discover more of our world and the titans . . .” Levi looked back at you two and saw Hange crying into your shoulder. You were hugging and petting her. “I hope that when we discover the truth of the titans and what's beyond the walls . . . we can have a life just ours. Can you imagine it?” Levi in a sense appreciated Hange had someone like you. Someone Hange could open up to and share her desires. He thought Hange didn’t care about love and focused on her research and the scouts. She joked about dating and relationships or would brush it off. This was the first time he saw Hange in love. Four-eyes had a girlfriend.

“We could live long lives, have a beautiful garden, maybe find a pet, and invite Erwin, Moblit, and Levi over for dinners!” You said and Levi saw a large smile he hadn’t seen from Hange in a while. Levi's chest grew heavier and he felt grateful that you invited him to dinner in your dream. He was considered in your life. You knew how important he was to Hange. Levi saw Hange and you continued making out again. You just became important because Hange was important to him. “Please . . .” Whimpered through Hange’s kisses. Levi tried to dodge every thought of the two of you having sex. 

“Sleep in my room tonight . . .” Hange whispered.

“Ok.”

The morning of heading to Shiganshina, Levi saw you with Dirk’s squad. It was as if you and Hange barely knew each other.

When the beast titan was throwing crushed boulders at the scouts, Levi realized you were on his side of the wall. Seeing another member of Dirk’s squad supported his assumption that you were somewhere. Suddenly, he felt the drive to protect you. 

After Erwin told Levi his plan to charge at the beast titan while Levi sneaked up on the beast, he felt like he had a window. Levi folded a blank piece of paper twice. He recognized it was unfair to protect you and keep you away from the charge compared to the other hundred scouts. But Hange and him were going to lose Erwin and at least he could try to keep you alive for Hange. Another round of rocks flew towards the scouts and there were cries and yelling. Levi managed to spot you near a horse. You were shielding the horse's face with your cape. When the round was over, Levi flew toward you. 

“Y/N.”

“Captain Levi?” You coughed out.

“I need you to deliver a message to Commander Hange.” Levi handed you the empty folded paper. You took the paper confused and Levi noticed how pretty you were. “Tell Hange it’s from me and she’ll understand. Go over the wall and stay on that side. Take down the armor and the colossal with her squad and mine.”

“Yes, sir.” You zipped away. 

Because you weren’t in the charge, you along with nine others were the only survivors, after retaking Wall Maria. Hange never asked about the empty paper, she knew Levi did it to save your life. When Hange mentioned that she was grateful Levi chose you to relay the message during that battle. Levi finally admitted it.

“Can I say something selfish?” Levi whispered. Hange looked at him and she nodded. “It’s selfish . . . but Erwin never asked me to find someone to deliver the ‘message’ to you . . .” Hange began to stare at her feet. “I wanted Y/N to stay alive, so you could live your dream.” They said nothing else, and Levi didn’t want to talk anymore, so he left Hange. 

During the raid on Liberio, Levi was full of rage for Eren, making them come to Liberio. They got what they wanted. The scouts were in possession of Zeke. Eren and Zeke were both chained. Levi heard the rowdiness of the celebration in the main room of the airship. Mikasa and Armin were both disappointed in Eren, but glad he was safe.

As Hange was leaving the cockpit of the airship, Jean opened the door separating the threshold of the rooms. He had two kids tied up. Hange noticed them and scrunched up her face. 

“Who are these kids?” She asked. Jean said through gritted teeth.

“They somehow killed Lobov and then used his gear to climb aboard. This one shot—” Sasha ran through the door behind Jean and found her target. Hange.

“COMMANDER! It looks like Y/N’s not going to make it!” She cried out. Levi frozed, then turned to Hange staring at Sasha. Armin and Mikasa gasped then ran past Jean and Sasha. Hange was still in place. Sasha ran up to Hange and then pulled her by her wrist. Levi saw the light in Hange’s eyes disappear. They ran off into the other room. Levi exhaled in a rage and wanted to kick Eren again. 

Apparently, you pushed Sasha out of the way and got shot by the girl. 

Ever since then, Hange thought about dying. Every day.

Sad bitch hours I know. LOL

[jjkeremika]

eren likes dangerous missions. there’s a thrill in being on the frontlines, fighting and killing titans directly—felt good, powerful, even: watching humanity’s threat fall beneath the weight of his feet.

and there was an added benefit in returning to the protection of the walls in that he also returned to the safety of your arms. walking into your front door with a big smile and open arms, eager to greet the partner he so dearly missed.

but then his stories intrigued you, to the point where you wanted to witness him in action, take part in the drama too. part of why he was so attracted to you was your shared interests, your crazed adrenaline addiction, but not like this. you weren’t supposed to want to fight titans with him—that’s dangerous! that’s absurd! you should be fighting with the garrison inside the walls, away from the giants!

he bit the inside of his cheek when you joined to see him and his squad off, because he knew. he knew you were going to ask again: if you could tag along and put your years-old, forgotten cadet training to use. the garrison was boring, and your pretty boyfriend made the scouts seem so much more exciting.

you were chatting with mikasa when you overheard jean loudly ask armin, “is y/n coming too?”

“i—” you started, only to be immediately interrupted by eren suddenly stepping forward, a stern expression and furrowed brows: “no,” his jaw clenched, “she’s not.”

everybody’s eyes turned to you. “if… if that’s what you want, eren.” you only looked at him, visibly crestfallen.

“oh, i see, eren. you think you can’t protect her,” jean says simply, smugly. “it’s okay, y/n! i can,” he adds flirtily, walking over to eren and placing his elbow on his shoulder.

eren’s face turns red, and he repeatedly alternates his gaze between you and jean. “wh-wha-no!”

[crisalidaseason]

sooo, is it too unusual to ask something w dark armin? like his SO got hurt and he is livid and gets revenge, also everyone is a bit scared of his behavior

i'm so starved for dark protective armin fics

Sorry it took me ages to answer this!!!! Also, Interesting ask...I think I have an idea. Hope you enjoy it!

CW and tags: Slight out of character Armin, protecive Armin, a bit dark Armin, gender neutral reader, "who did this to you" trope, blank period between S3 and S4, canonverse, relationship status not clear, mentions of blood, violence.

A little rat.

Something people often called Armin due to his tendencies of sneaking around, creepily watching and listening, acting below the radar. The blond boy was never one to enjoy theatrics, attention, thus the nickname made sense. Armin enjoyed it even, being discreet within his action, he benefited from it.

---

The bruise on your left cheek was impossible to conceal and you accepted the countless questions your friends would ask. You were building a lie while your steps guided you to the mess hall - despite your disinterest for dinner. As your fingers brushed on the tender skin, images of the other soldier's bloody nose and mouth were enough to satisfy yourself.

You could defend yourself. Armin knew that.

But as soon as his beautiful blue eyes landed on the dark blemish his gaze went from tired to unreadable. He did not say anything - unlike the others, who kept asking 'what happened' 'who did this!' - he remained silent during dinner. You told your lie - physical combat training - but Armin did not react nor did he say a word, only his hardened eyes occasionally looking at the bruise.

His knuckles were white while gripping his cutlery.

You knew he would ask as soon as nobody was on sight. His steps were silent, but you could feel him behind you. Cold fingers touched your elbow softly, guiding you to a quiet corridor, under a staircase.

"Armin-"

"Who"

Armin made it impossible to lie. There was something about his blue eyes, soft and yet handsome features, that made your stomach revolt with the mere thought of lying to him.

"It doesn't matter-"

"It does" his jaw became even more defined as it clenched.

The blue eyes were still hard to read, but there was a stormy sea in them. You knew this look - a mind working full speed on hypothesis.

"Who did this?" his voice was soft and calm, monotonous. A happy and excited Armin almost sang when he spoke.

"He is way worse, Armin" you tried "I gave him what he deserved-"

"I. Want. A. Name." the sea was simmering, the point of boiling coming soon.

You gave him the name. You told him everything. Because there was nothing you could ever hide from Armin.

___

"You're quiet" Mikasa spoke "you usually don't shut up when you're researching"

The brunette girl was sitting on the chair next to his - running away from her brother's apathetic behavior. Hange's office was usually free for Armin to use, for him to read and debate strategies with the current commander.

"There is nothing to speak about" he said.

He saw Mikasa's head tilt to the side, she knew him too much.

"You're angry" she concluded "Eren said something to you again?"

Armin sighed in frustration. Denying with a mere head movement.

"You're not going to tell me, are you?" she said.

He wouldn't. She would stop him and do it herself. He could not loose the opportunity.

---

You were just released from the meeting with your squad when a desperate Sasha collided with you in the middle of the hall.

"I'm sorry, so sorry!" she was frantic.

You were beyond confused.

"What happened?" you asked her.

"Armin was arrested!"

You felt your blood pool around your feet, leaving nothing but cold limbs. Barely able to ask her to elaborate.

"I heard Hange had to give him a corrective punishment for assaulting a cadet"

You wanted to feel surprised, but you couldn't. Armin was capable of horrible things if it meant keeping his loved ones safe. Violence was never his first choice, but it was there...always.

___

Armin was a patient man. If he could avoid acting on emotion, he would. Waiting for the anger to stop bubbling left him rational enough to plan carefully.

The cadet in question was an ex-MP. Typical.

Taller than Armin, stronger built. Forgetful face and name, just another soldier amongst hundreds that enlisted after Wall Maria's expedition.

Armin watched him for days, weeks. His routine, his tasks, when he was alone or surrounded. He observed, always keeping his anger at bay. A thursday afternoon, nearing the end of the fifth hour, was the perfect time frame for Armin to act.

Armin was proud of his rational thinking, but all good plans had a hint of recklessness.

"You have one minute to explain why you hurt them"

Alone in the stables, the cadet turned to see no other than the bearer of the Colossal titan.

"Who the fuck you're talking about?"

"Forty seconds" Armin replied, stance completely relaxed.

The cadet chuckled.

"come on" the soldier said "they can throw a punch, I respect that, but you? I-"

"I asked why and you are going to answer why. Thirty seconds"

The soldier - not knowing Armin at all - should have noticed the way his limbs contracted and his eyes focused into him.

"They hit me first" the cadet complained "I was just joking, said some shit and they didn't like it apparently"

"And what did you say?"

___

"Was it because of me?" he pleaded, hands afraid of touching the bruised skin "please, tell me"

"It's not worth repeating what he said"

"I want to know!"

There were tears trying to escape his eyes, his fingers trembling with anger.

"They don't do this to Mikasa or Eren, but I know they say things to you"

"Armin..."

"Please"

___

The colossal was in all shapes and forms a demon in his body. A demon he hated more than anything.

But there were undeniable benefits of hosting such demon.

A cracking sound of another bone breaking. The cadet fell on the gate of a horse stall, struggling to breathe.

"Tell me" Armin's voice was on the verge of breaking into screaming, but he knew better.

"Repeat to me exactly what you told them and I'll consider letting you walk out of here alive"

The soldier coughed and groaned, trying to get up. Armin was faster, stomping his foot on the man's chest, right below his rib-cage, where he knew it would render the cadet breathless.

"Come on, tell me" Armin warned again

___

Your voice trembled as you repeated the words to an anxious and angry Armin.

"He called you a rat and..."

___

"...and they were the scum" the cadet struggled to repeat.

"And what else?"

The man took too long to answer, Armin's patience running thin.

"That...I could" the man coughed blood "could not wait for you to die"

___

"And then I hit him" you concluded "I shouldn't, but I was so furious that I could not let him walk out intact"

___

Armin kicked the man one more time below the ribs, for sure breaking another floating one.

"Next time you have a problem with my existence, talk to me" Armin said quietly "You can call me names, even hit me, but if you ever do anything remotely threatening towards them again...I will kill you"

He left the man on the stables, walking steadily to Hange's office. Consequences must be paid.

___

Besides you, Mikasa was the only one not panicking. The two of you were not close - she was extremely reserved - but there was mutual respect. She was the only one who did not bombard you with questions, already aware of what could have happened.

"Is he in the dungeons?" you asked her.

Mikasa nodded. Hange's office was full of the veterans of the 104th squad, yet you felt alone in that moment. Armin was being punished and it was your fault.

"Nothing is going to happen" Hange said, entering the office "he is far too important for an actual imprisonment, but I had to keep appearances"

"Did he say something?" Jean inquired "we all know Armin's not a saint, but sudden violence is very uncommon for him"

The commander's eyes asked the same question as they landed on you. They were trying to understand. You and Armin interacted discreetly in public, like acquaintances. Hange was trying to understand why someone like you would trigger such a violent unusual behavior from Armin Arlert.

"I was hoping you could explain" They said to you "your captain told me you had corrective punishment from assaulting the same guy about two weeks ago"

The others were silent, looking at you. Waiting for an answer while trying to connect the dots. The only one who did not wonder was her. Mikasa knew of Armin's affection towards you, that it was beyond a building frienship or quick burning passion.

___

Armin heard you first. Steps descending the long stairs of the dungeons. As your familiar frame appeared, he stood up and leaned on the bars of the cell. You did not look him in the eyes, staring at a point in front of you.

You were angry. He had no regrets.

"Was it necessary?" you whispered.

"Yes" he replied without hesitation "would do it again"

You looked at his profile, an elegant man even behind bars. His white shirt was stained and tucked out of his pants, yet he left you breathless. You could defend yourself, but there was something warming about him going to extremes for you. It might have suprised the the others, but not you.

You would hurt and kill for him either.

Synopsis:

Today is the first birthday of (y/n) and Levi's little daughter Luna, (y/n) starts to playfully put frosting at their little girl's face and Levi who is still a clean freak as always disagrees, but eventually joins in. Their squad members are also invited to the party bringing out more happiness to the little warm and cozy event,

:divider by @saradika-graphics

"Tch (y/n), she's going to get all sticky and dirty with the amount of cake frosting at her fa-"

Before Levi could continue (y/n) gently strokes her thumb at Levi's face with a big warm smile on her face.

Levi felt something cold touched his skin, he then reaches to his left cheek and saw pink frosting with a few pastel colored sprinkles.

Before Levi could complain, He saw their little daughter Luna who was at (y/n) arms, she was was looking at him while cooing and giggling, her tiny hands reaching up his face while her little legs were swinging in delight.

Luna was wearing a cute little pink dress and white little mary jane shoes with a pair of cute ribbons, Her right cheek has a few streaks of pink frosting on it.

Luna was like a little version of Levi, she has his raven black hair, his gray yet blueish orbs and his complexion, but her eyes were wide and gentle just like (y/n)'s.

"Levi, she's reaching out to you." (y/n) said gently while bringing Luna closer to Levi.

"C'mere little brat, your mom got you all dirty and sticky with all of those frosting." Levi stated while gently reaching for Luna shielding her lovingly in his arms.

"Come on Levi, its her first birthday, she deserves to try the fun things like getting frosting at her face." (y/n) said while laughing and giggling at her Husband.

Levi couldn't help but stare at his wife's genuine warm and big smile, it was a very cozy and perfect sight in Levi's perspective.

All these years he was alive he thought that living in this world will only consists of fighting titans and fighting for survival, not until he met (y/n) who eventually became his squad member and significant other, as well as the first time he held his small little daughter in his arms a few minutes after her birth looking at him with the same grey yet blueish orbs he also had.

Levi's mind was back at the past only to be pulled back to the present by Luna who presses her little nose at Levi's own.

Luna giggles while looking at her father.

"Daaa!" Luna managed to say while looking at Levi with her adorable little voice, her little legs still actively swinging in excitement as she glances at her father.

"I love you too, Luna." Levi said, his orbs conveying love, affection and gentleness.

(y/n) then approaches the two,

"Luna, its time for you to blow your cake." (y/n) said softly but in a very excited tone, she then leads Levi who was still carrying Luna to the table decorated with a soft pink table cloth with cute little pearly white colored teacups and pastel colored plates. (y/n) also prepared a lot of food since their squad members are also here to celebrate with them.

Armin, Annie, Jean, Mikasa, Eren, Reiner, Connie, Sasha, Hange, and Erwin managed to attend their little daughter's birthday party.

Everyone started to smile and sing the birthday song while Levi was carrying Luna in his arms, (y/n) standing beside them her arms holding Levi's back gently and supporting their daughter's side hugging them.

"Daaa!" Luna said energetically while trying to reach her little fisted hands to the candle flame, for some reason she first learned the word "Daaa" which means daddy since she was very fond of Levi and it somehow became her favorite word.

"Hey, be careful brat you might burn your hands." Levi said protectively, as he stepped a bit backwards.

"Luna, be careful alright? The flame might hurt your hands..." (y/n) said with a loving and motherly tone as she gently puts her index finger to Luna's small little hands, Luna accepts her mother's index finger, wrapping her little hands to it.

"Maaa!" Luna responded to her mother with a big smile on her face, it felt like she understood not to touch the burning small flame at the candle anymore.

"Its funny how Luna is not as stubborn as, Captain Levi and (y/n) even though they are her parents." Connie stated in a teasing tone while Jean laughed holding his stomach.

"Hey you two, do you want Captain Levi to kick us out?" Armin asked them while trying to stop them from teasing the two parents.

"Hey, if they kick us out we wont be able to try and eat the food (y/n) prepared." Sasha said while crossing her arms and making a pouty expression, she then glances at the meat at the table prepared with mushrooms and gravy making her eyes sparkle.

"Alright thats it, if you all don't stop with the teasing I'll make sure you all clean the whole squad headquarters tonight." Levi said, his tone was commanding but it was laced with warmth and gentleness.

"Come on Levi, its Luna's birthday, loosen up a bit and let them tease. Besides its not like its false that you and (y/n) both have the stubborn and reckless attitude just like Luna." Hange laughed in a teasing tone while looking at the family of three in front of the birthday cake.

After all of the teasing and laughter, Levi and (y'n) leans forward together with Luna looking at the birthday cake and the small pink candle as they made a wish for their daughter, since Luna was not yet capable of blowing candles and only made cooing noises while trying to reach for the burning flame, Levi and (y'n) did it for her.

Luna's smile was priceless after her parents made their wish and blew her birthday candle, and everyone was in awe of the sight, it was a family of three, not to mention Captain Levi who was always a reserved person with a cold exterior, his eyes were now very gentle and filled with warmth as he looks at his daughter and his wife.

(y'n)'s gaze also held the same emotions, as she looks at Levi and their little girl with those gentle and loving gaze she always holds for them.

Later on, Sasha, Eren and Connie asks Levi if they can carry Luna with the look of anticipation written in their faces as their eyes sparkle with affection and excitement while looking at Luna.

"Tch, be careful brats if any of you accidentally drops her I'll make sure you all will regret it." Levi stated with a hint of irritation and threat as he lets Sasha hold onto the little girl who was looking at Sasha with wide eyes and a big smile at her face.

(y/n) approaches Levi placing another stroke of pink frosting at his nose this time.

"Tch I told you not to-" before Levi could continue he saw one of the most priceless and prettiest scenery again, it was his wife giggling and looking at him like a little child who saw nothing but peace and only the beautiful aspects of this world.

Levi then puts his thumb at the side of the cake, swiping it to the soft pink frosting then gently stroking his finger at (y/n)'s nose and cheeks with a hint of nothing but love and tenderness at his gaze.

(y/n) was caught a bit off guard but she steps forward embracing Levi delicately, she then cups his face with both of her hands a few of her fingers still covered with a bit of frosting.

"I love you, thank you for you, and for giving me Luna." (y/n) said her eyes converying a lot of love for him and their daughter.

"I love you too (y/n) thank you for bringing Luna to our little world." Levi said as he grabs her waist closer to him and pressing a kiss at her lips.

"You two should get a room." Erwin said while Reiner and Jean were both laughing like they've seen a dumb looking titan or something.

Hange then speaks in a teasing tone "Hey, don't you all think its a bit early to give Luna a little sister?"

"Shut up four eyes, its none of your bussiness." Levi said with a frown but later on his expression was replaced with a small smile as he looks at (y/n) again gently placing a kiss on her forehead this time.

"You hear that? I think auntie Hange and uncle Erwin is more than happy to look after Luna tonight," Levi said while looking at (y/n) with a small and playful smirk.

"I think that could be arranged, Captain." (y/n) said with a small smile and soft chuckles.

"Hey cover her eyes sasha, she can't see people kissing yet!" Connie said to Sasha who placed his hands at Luna's eyes gently to block her view of her parents kissing and being all lovingly.

"Hey brat and potato girl, didn't I tell you not to touch her face with your dirty hands?" Levi said with a hint of annoyance and threat.

"I- I'm sorry Captain, we both promise we are both clean and germs free, right Luna?" Connie asked Luna who was just smilling and giggling her little legs still swaying actively.

"Meaaaa!" Luna said while Sasha was carrying her.

"Did she just said Meat?" Eren asked while Reiner was laughing stupidly at the back while Mikasa was looking at Luna with her gently gaze.

"Did you all seriously thought her how to say meat?" (y/n) said while laughing.

A small smile made its way to Levi's lips, seeing his squad with his daughter was a very peaceful sight for him, and his wife by his side with her gaze holding nothing but love, warmth, affection and tenderness.

Annie and Mikasa then gently took Luna from Sasha and Connie, "She'll be staying with us for now, right little Luna?" Mikasa asked with a soft and gentle voice while Annie was delicately carrying her.

Armin and Eren stared at the two young scouts with awe as their cheeks both started to uncontrollably blush.

"Looks like someone has a crush." Hange nudged the two with her elbows playfully.

"He-Hey its not like that." Eren said as he playfully frowns at Hange with a shade of red still lingering on his cheeks, while armin was covering his face that looks red as strawberries.

"Lets all eat now, the food might get cold, I'll also slice the cake now." (y/n) stated as she grabbed the small dainty pastel colored plates.

Everyone had a great time, as they all celebrated Luna's first birthday.

After the Birthday party was over, Luna was now peacefully sleeping at her crib which was beside (y/n) and Levi's bedside.

"Hey, you look tired." Levi said while he reaches for (y/n)'s arms encouraging her to join him at their shared bed with his already tired and heavy eyelids.

(y/n) joins him as they both tuck themselves together in their comfy shared bed, their bodies seeking warmth and comfort from each other, Levi wraps his arms around her and she did the same, her face resting at Levi's chest while he strokes her hair as they both were covered with the warm sheets of the bed.

"I really did enjoy today..." (y/n) said to Levi with her usual soft voice, her gaze softening even more.

"Our little brat is growing healthy and happily each day, I'm happy too (y/n)." Levi responded while pulling (y/n) closer to him.

"Did we both have the same wish for Luna's birthday?" (y/n) asked Levi curiously.

"I suppose yes, and I have nothing more to wish for, as I already have both of them here with me." Levi said looking at (y/n) leaning forward to her and planting a gentle kiss on her lips, he then glances at Luna who was still sleeping peacefully, his tone of voice and gaze once again laced with love and affection.

Levi and (y/n) both found peace and happiness in their little one, their little moon, that served as their light in their dark and hard moments in life.

Despite everything that happened as well as the hardships, (y/n) and Levi both knew that they'll be alright as long as they can provide a happy, loving and peaceful family to Luna, with their warm smiles and priceless cozy moments together, which they both had always wished for.

I hope you all enjoy this happy and fluffy frosting filled birthday fic ♡ I'm honestly happy with how this was written, and it was a relaxing piece to write after a stressful case analysis I had to do,♡ I hope you all enjoy it too, ♡ ໒꒰ྀིᵔ ᵕ ᵔ ꒱ྀི১

[yanderes-galore]

Hi is it ok to request Jean (AOT) romantic HCs please 💗

Sure! This is a general look on Jean but I just happen to like how S4 Jean looks so-

Yandere! Jean Kirstein Concept

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Violence, Blood, Clingy behavior, Possessive behavior, Overprotective behavior, Jealousy, Manipulation, Fear of loss, Social isolation, Death, Forced relationship.

Your first encounters with Jean were no doubt... unpleasant.

Jean tended to fall in love easily in his youth due to his upbringing, easily swayed by pretty faces.

In your shared youth, he was always blunt and cynical... to the point of antagonizing anyone who felt hopeful in their current situation.

You knew Jean since you were cadets, even during Marley.

Jean is no doubt just as Infatuated with you as when you were young, too.

Your early interactions with Jean are no doubt fights.

Before Trost, Jean was antagonistic and yet also a coward.

You always kept the view of not rolling over to let a Titan kill you.

You would do whatever it took to survive, and hiding away wasn't going to solve anything.

Which is often where Jean fights with you.

Once or twice you two ended up getting physical, usually during training.

You two had to be separated in response.

It's believed you two hate each other by your comrades.

What other option is there when you two are often verbally and physically against one another?

However... The death of Marco and so many other friends changed Jean.

You noticed you two fought less and he didn't try to put down your beliefs as much.

In fact, he even joined the Scouts with you and many others.

It's a relief he stopped... as now you can focus on training without you and Jean fighting.

You probably still have scars from those times....

Jean is still harsh on you at times, but it's for entirely different reasons.

Now it's because he's scared to lose you.

The world is changing and he's getting attached to his new companions.

Plus... He's beginning to realize he hasn't just fallen for your looks.

He's fallen for you.

A big driving factor of Jean as a yandere is his protective instinct.

He's lost many people, like Marco....

He knows you two used to fight in the past.

Yet now he's terrified to lose you too.

To the point he hates even having you go on missions.

Sure, you're capable, but one wrong step?

It makes him shiver... his heart aches...

He really is in love with you.

You may not want his care... yet it doesn't matter to him.

Jean would be anxious and more moody when on missions with you.

There's small hints of his adoration for you.

Blushing, shy behavior, stuttering, he's like a school boy with a crush.

Even when he's an adult he finds himself struggling to speak normally with you over time.

Jean is primarily protective due to what he goes through.

He's seen Titans, he's seen what they and other people can do, he could easily lose you...

If he doesn't step in, that is.

Jealousy and possessive behavior also makes itself known.

When he isn't worrying about your safety, he's worrying about others having a strong connection with you.

All the Scouts are close with one another, yeah...

Yet Jean worries about one of them stealing your heart before he can.

For example, He sees how you interact with Eren or Armin... or anyone else.

You smile at them, looking all happy.

It makes Jean envious.

Why can't you look at him like that?

Even after he changes his behavior, you still look at him with disdain!

Do you hate what he does?

Do you still view him as a coward?

Jean just wants to protect you... but you keep fighting him.

Imagine if Jean felt the only way to keep you safe is to keep you out of missions entirely?

Even more so if he was your squad leader?

When you were younger there was times he'd try to talk you out of missions once his obsession starts.

Yet you'd still find a way on them anyways.

When you're both older and you're used to working together, Jean gets more desperate.

He snaps more, you two fighting more now that the events with Marley started.

Except this time, it's Jean who wants to shield you away rather than shielding himself.

By this point he's infatuated and determined to keep you safe.

Jean wouldn't necessarily kill someone to keep you unless there was a reason.

He hates losing unnecessary lives as a leader.

Although, occasionally he'll break an arm... give a black eye...

He'll have blood on his hands, but the other person will live to learn their lesson.

Yet kidnapping? Isolation? If it meant you were alive, safe...

He'll take anything.

Jean would work as an excellent enemies/lovers character.

He always despises your wish to fight one way or another.

But the reason changes over time.

At first he thinks it's idiotic, later it's because he's scared to lose another person he cares for in this world.

You are the only one he's felt such an exhilarating and burning love for.

He wants to preserve how he feels, preserve you...

No matter what.

Imagine Jean knocking you out, a task that isn't very difficult due to his strength.

By the time you wake up, you're in an isolated cabin or room.

You can try to get answers as to where you are, but Jean is adamant on not saying a thing.

Jean may not always have blood on his hands for you...

Yet he uses those same hands to cover your eyes and shield you from the pain of the world even he had to face.

It's like he's coddling you.

Jean can't take anymore pain.

Losing you may make him snap entirely.

He ignores your questions, merely saying this was for the best.

Who knows? Perhaps in captivity Jean confesses.

He says he's doing this because he's scared to lose you.

He loves you.

He wants to be with you forever.

He's sorry but he promises to make things better.

His confession is clumsy.

Sudden.

He's desperate and you can sense it when he leans in to kiss your lips...

Like he's reassuring himself that this is the right thing to do.

Like he knows it's not... yet refuses to change it.

Jean would feed you rations, show you affection, treat you like there's nothing wrong.

In reality, fear controls Jean.

He's still a coward who yearns for a life of comfort.

He wants that kind of life with you.

He finds comfort in you... You're the only comfort in his life.

He'd be a fool to let you go and lose you to the cruel world out there...

No matter how selfish it may be...

Jean plans to keep you with him forever, safe and sound.

Until the End (Levi x Reader)- Chapter 17

[Under Attack]

_____ A/N: Posted on Wattpad (@CLARE_875) but also decided to post here :)

Summary:

"You can push me away, but I will still fight by you, and I will still follow you… until the end."

The ever-so-stoic Levi Ackerman has only ever known the terrors that living in a cruel world could bring. This all changed one fateful day when he encountered [y/n]; a girl renowned for her looks and abnormal speed. As they escape the confines of the Underground together, they soon discover that freedom doesn't come easy in a world full of Titans. As they rise through the ranks, [y/n] becomes known as "Humanity's Angel", a beacon of hope to humanity as she melts the walls Levi had built around his heart. However, she has her secrets too, and a dark past that might just threaten to pull them apart.

The storyline and characters of Attack on Titan do NOT belong to me, but all to Hajime Isayama; however, I do own this story, and all that occurs disparate to that storyline.

[Series Masterlist] [Chapter Sixteen] <--> [Chapter Eighteen]

_____

Warnings: Blood, Canonical Violence, Injuries The sun was high in the sky by the time you and Levi had made your way back to the cabin.  It had been your home and hideout for a while now. We were on our way to tell our newly formed squad that Hange was waiting to continue Eren's experiments. The squad consisted of members of the 104th training corps: Mikasa, Armin, Sasha, Connie, and Jean. Along with us, their task was to protect Eren and Krista, who had now revealed her name to be Historia. "Tch, damn brats had better cleaned the place spotless." You hear the voice of the man next to me, a dark expression on his face as usual. You smile at his never-changing attitude towards cleanliness. "Surely they have. What with you basically threatening their lives if they hadn't," you say, grinning up at him as he turns to you and glares.

We approach the door, but you see Levi pause just before it opens. You give him a questioning glance but stop when you hear the voices of our squad inside. "Hey, so what do you think the deal is between the Captains?" It was Connie's voice. "They do seem close," Armin replied before you heard him ask Eren what he thought since we had spent the most time together. "Eh?" you hear Eren, his voice masked with confusion, "I thought they were together." You then hear Jean's voice ring through suddenly, "What?! No way someone like Captain [y/n] would settle for him, idiot!" You see Levi's aura begin to darken as you see his back stiffen. "Yeah, Captain [y/n]'s way too good for him..." You’re surprised to hear Mikasa's low voice uttered quietly within the Cabin. You hear Jean speak again, "See, even Mikasa is- Oi, Sasha! What do you think you're doing? Put the potato down!" The sound of the Cabin turns into a mix of noise as you now hear Jean argue with Sasha about food... again. 

You turn to Levi, who's still paused in the doorway, and you roll your eyes. Give him fifty Titans, and he wouldn't flinch, and yet he's stood still with a murderous aura just from a few words by our subordinates. You grab him by the shoulder, turning him around before abruptly capturing your lips with his. He freezes, still tense with annoyance, but eventually, you feel him softly kiss you back. We pull away after a moment as you see his eyes soften and his body relaxes from the tension it previously held. You give him a teasing smile, "you shouldn't worry yourself over them," you say while brushing his raven hair from his face. The two of you had yet to talk about your relationship, about what it was and what not, but you could tell we silently agreed there wasn't much to clarify. You could see the love that swam in his eyes, the same way it swam through yours, but the world we lived in was cruel. Death constantly threatened to pull us apart, so we silently decided not to say the three words we wanted to say.

"Come on, four eyes is waiting," you say with a grin before opening the door to the shouting of Scouts inside. Levi followed before he stepped next to you, the squad freezing as they realised we were now here. You see Levi walk up to the wooden table, dragging a hand underneath it before his face darkened as he sees the grime left underneath. He turned to the Scouts, who still stood frozen, expressions of fear on their faces. "I'm quite sure I gave you enough time." Eren looks up as he holds a broom, his expression turning into one of regret. You smile at Levi before walking up to him and gently touching his shoulder. "Well, we'll have to discuss your cleaning later, Eren," he looks to you as his face turns into one of question. "Tch, yeah, Hange is itching to get the experiment started," Levi continues, a sour expression still on his face. "R-right," Eren replies before we turn to get ready to leave. 

..... 

The sun had already set, and we had been at it for hours. You stand by Levi and Hange as we look down to see Eren shouting out in his Titan form before collapsing. You hear the shouts of Mikasa below as Hange yells, "What's wrong, Eren?! Get up! The future of humanity is riding on you! Get up, dammit!" You look down, seeing Eren's withered form. "Wait, Hange, I don't think something's quite right," you say as Levi nods slightly next to you. "Somethings different this time. He's not even 10 meters, and some of his body doesn't have muscle. Plus, Eren's ass is hanging out." You take a closer look and see just that: Eren's head is the only thing embedded in his Titan. "I see that!" Hange replies but continues to shout at the boy below us, "Eren! Can you still move?! Give us a signal or something!" You then see Mikasa jump off her horse below and rush towards Eren, ignoring our orders again. 

"Hey... That gloomy brat is acting on her own again." You hear Levi say, to which you try not to roll your eyes. Had he looked in the mirror recently? "Time to think of a punishment?" He asks, but Hange takes off as well, going down to where Eren is, "No. There's no signal... We're done here!" They shout, rushing to his side. You see Hange land on top of Eren, shouting his name before trying to pull his burning body from his Titan and ignoring the concern from Mikasa. "Whoa!" You see Hange's face become one of surprise and excitement, "Check it out, Moblit! Eren's face! Hurry up and sketch it!" You see that he had lost most of the skin from his face, leaving his skull visible. "Section Commander! Are you lacking in human compassion?!" You hear Moblit ask before Mikasa finally cuts Eren free from his Titan. 

"Looks like we got a long road ahead... before we can use the Titan hardening ability to seal the wall." You hear Levi say as he turns to Armin, who stands behind us. "Yes... I knew we'd be grasping at straws from the start." He replies, faces grim. You look at the boy before returning to the scene before you. "It's not bad strategically," you say, "instead of having to take supplies to Wall Maria, we'd only need to bring Eren. It all depends on him, though." Levi follows your line of sight. You look down to see Hange start to yell out at us. "Experiment's over! All troops, disperse at once!" The Scouts reply instantly, "Roger! Make sure there are no witnesses!" Levi turned to Historia and you, who stood by us, as Armin walked away. "You ride in the same wagon as Eren," he says to Historia before turning to you, "I'm headed for Trost District with Hange's group." We see Historia reply affirmatively before walking away. "Look after the squad while I'm away [y/n]," you turn to see Levi looking at you and nod. "Don't be too long."  

..... 

Levi and Hange's group returned to us the following day with bad news. Pastor Nick had died at the hands of the interior Military Police after being tortured. "I figured the Church would want to deal with Nick since he was cooperating with the Scouts," Hange says as we all sit at the wooden table. "That's why I hid his identity and had him stay in the barracks, but... To think they would use soldiers to kill him... I was too careless. It's entirely my fault." Silence descends onto us before Armin speaks up, "The military police... Did they torture Pastor Nick just to find out what information he spilled to us?" You nodded as he looked at us, "Most likely, but it's the Interior Military Police, which means there's something more to it." Levi turned to Hange at your words, "How many nails did Nick have ripped off? You saw, right? How many?" 

"I only caught a glimpse of him, but all the nails that I could see," Hange replied from where they sat. "People that talk, talk after one. If they don't, peeling more won't make a difference." Levi says, "Pastor Nick... I thought he was an idiot, but... He didn't turn away from what he believed till the end. In other words, they have no idea we've caught wind of the Reiss family. Though someone in the government is up to no good, and their eyes are fixed on us." You look up to the sound of a door opening and see Nifa, a Scout, approach us as she hands a piece of paper to you and Levi. "Captains, a message from Commander Erwin. I went to tell him about Pastor Nick, but he sent me off with this," you take a brief look at its contents before looking to Levi, who stares at you with a grim look on his face. "Everyone, out. We leave now. Leave no trace we were here." 

.....

We leave just in time, looking down at our cabin from atop a mountain and seeing it raided by the Military Police. "That was close... What would've happened to us if we hadn't left right then?" You hear Connie ask aloud from where we stood, everyone wearing cloaks over their clothes. "But why? What would make Commander Erwin...?" Armin turned to you and Levi in question. "New orders came from the government," you say lowly in reply. "There's been a freeze on all the Scout Regiment activity outside the wall. They're telling us to hand over Eren and Historia." The Scouts turn to you, shock present on their faces as Nifa speaks up. "By the way, right after he gave me the message... the Military Police came for him." Hange looks to Nifa in disbelief, "That's treating him like some sort of criminal!" 

"Someone's not working from the shadows anymore. They're moving for all eyes to see." Levi mutters. "To go that far to protect the wall's secrets... What's more, why do they want us to hand over Eren and Historia? Not to kill, but for them to obtain?" Hange asks, looking down. Levi replies with sharp eyes. "Who knows? Anyway, it's clear the enemy wants these two. Loitering around here is dangerous. We're moving her and Eren to Trost District." Hange's squad looks to Levi at his words. "Why? That's the same place Pastor Nick was killed." You turn to them, "It's worse to head towards the interior," you reply, "With Trost in a panic, it should be easy to slip in. And if somehow it comes down to it, we can use these in the city." You gesture to the ODM gear hidden under your cloak. 

"Not knowing the enemy puts us in a tough spot. We need to find out who's behind this." Levi adds, looking to Hange, "Lend us some of your squad." Hange replies affirmatively before saying that they are going after Erwin, taking only Moblit with them and leaving the rest of their squad with us. "Hange!" you turn to see Eren approach them before they leave, "I remember a conversation between Ymir and Bertholdt. Didn't get time to tell you, but it's here." Hange nods appreciatively at a piece of paper Eren hands them before they trot off on their horse with Moblit. 

..... 

We walk along the streets of Trost, trying not to attract too much attention. It was the anniversary of the King's coronation, and you could see people gather around at the haul of rations they distribute once a year. "We will now distribute the rations! King Fritz has heard of Trost District's hardships and will donate the royal family's reserves!" You hear people clamour around the Military Police, shouting out in appreciation and surprise. "What a King! He sure is generous!" You hear Sasha mutter from behind you. "He's got more than he knows what to do with. People are weak, especially when baited with food," Levi says with a bored glance, and you can't help but agree as we continue down the streets. 

As moments pass by as we walk, you see Levi pause. But before you can ask what's wrong, he shouts, "Watch out! Behind us!" He pulls you behind him as horses come our way, rushing past as they take who they think is Eren and Historia onto their carriage. They had taken the bait. Sasha yells out in mock surprise as we watch them gain distance from us. You just wonder how long it takes before they realise it's actually Armin and Jean in disguise. The real Eren and Mikasa are on a wagon pulled by one of our Scouts elsewhere, all part of the plan. You nod to Levi before subtly taking off with your ODM gear toward Nifa and Abel, who are patrolling the streets. Levi takes the remaining squad to follow Armin and Jean. 

You land on a rooftop next to Abel, a soldier with goggle-like glasses on his head, and you see Nifa give you a nod in acknowledgement. You look down at the streets, seeing the wagon that pulled the real Eren and Historia. Nothing too unusual despite the crowds, you think to yourself as we travel across the rooves trailing them. After a short while, you saw the wagon come to a halt due to the masses of people and heard the sound of ODM gear. You turned to your right to see Levi landing next to Nifa on a nearby rooftop. The body double mission was a success. You see his eyes glinting slightly in relief, before you hear him mutter something next to the girl he hid by. Your eyes go back to the wagon with Abel, feeling something is off about this whole situation, but you shake off that feeling as you continue to observe. Just as you see the wagon about to move again, you freeze as you hear the startling yell of Levi reaching the skies. 

"Nifa!" 

Two gunshots reach the air as you turn in shock, just in time to see Nifa shot in the face. Your eyes glance quickly to Levi, relief filling you briefly to see he had ducked before he moved behind the chimney away from his enemy. But before you can do anything, you see Levi's eyes widen as he looks at you in... fear? You turned in time to see that Abel had also been shot. You saw another man aiming a gun towards you. Quickly, you used your speed to avoid the onslaught of gunshots that came from the man, hiding from your enemy behind another chimney. You can see Levi shaking as he looks at me, his eyes sharpening before they darken. You see a man who seems so familiar walk up the rooftop to where he hid. "Yo, Levi." The man speaks, hat covering his face, "You grown any yet?" Your eyes widened in utter shock as you realised... it was Kenny. 

You have no time to react as you heard more sounds of people approaching us while Kenny attached to the Chimney Levi hid behind, using his gun that acted like the ODM gear we used. He flung himself into the air, but his eyes made contact with yours as he did. Time moves by slowly as you see his eyes widen before his face twists into a wide grin. "Oh? [y/n]! You're here too, huh?" Your heart lurches, so he did know who you were... He yells out before he makes his way down to where Levi is, before aiming his guns, one at him and one at you. You see Levi tense at his words, his face turning into one of pure fury you had never seen before. His eyes are wild as he unsheathes one of his blades. 

"KENNY!" 

Just then, more soldiers show up, guns in hand as they fly high, surrounding us and ready to shoot. You have no time to look out for Levi as you catch one last glance of his wild eyes, seeing them flicker with worry before you take off. You yank your cloak over your head to avoid the onslaught of gunshots that were aimed at your body, revealing your ODM gear beneath. You slide down the rooftops in haste, dodging bullets as you attach to the buildings down the streets. You need to get back to the wagon with Eren and Historia, but the number of those with guns in their hands pursuing you makes survival more of a priority. 

You slide past citizens who look up at you in shock before you take a sharp right, going into a dark alleyway. Gunshots blast high above you, causing obstacles to burst as you dodge bits of debris. You feel two chunks of wood slice across your arm, causing it to bleed, but you grit your teeth, forcing yourself forward. There may be lots of them, but your speed is an advantage that allows you to dodge the bullets that come towards your head. You dodge and twist and turn through the streets, as you lose two of them before you turn and see three more when you come out into the open. You quickly whizz through, barely dodging the onslaught of fire before you crash through a window of a building, feet-first in haste to get away, glass grazing your cheek as you look up. 

You freeze, seeing bottles of alcohol line the shelves, realising you're behind the counter of a bar, the bartender looking at you in shock. Just then, you hear the front door open, and you turn to see Levi whiz through before landing behind the counter next to you. His eyes turn sharply as he notices your movement before he relaxes, and you see relief cross his face, realising it was just you and you were safe. You see blood-covered his right eye from a scrape across the forehead, and you see him look at your injuries too. He reaches out slightly to wipe some blood off your face, eyes swimming with emotion, but neither of us can say anything as you hear the familiar voice of a man approaching. "Ain't that the damnedest thing! I smell a filthy rat coming from this bar..." it was Kenny. "Come out, you little rodent..." you hear him say as you hear the door clatter open. "Found ya! The law has come to exterminate the vermin! Bang! Bang!" 

Silence reaches the room as you see the bartender look straight ahead at Kenny. "The hell?! Ain't you here!?" you hear him yell out in exasperation, but you turn to Levi as he speaks out. "Right here, Kenny. It's been a while. Never thought you'd still be alive. What happened to slaughtering the Military Police? Now you're one of them?" A brief silence reaches the air as Kenny replies, "Adults do plenty of things a kid like you can't understand. Oops, my bad. You're just so tiny it's hard to believe you're older now." But then he pauses. "Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I saw [y/n] around too." You see Levi freeze at his words, but Kenny takes that as confirmation as you hear him let out a laugh. 

"So it's true, huh? Not surprised, would recognise that beauty anywhere." You hear the smirk in his voice as he starts to taunt Levi. "I'll admit I was surprised when I visited a while back to see the two of you together. More disgusted, really, you couldn't keep yourself off of her, always jumping in and saving the day. Can't believe a runt like you could actually care for someone." You hear the click of his gun as Levi grits his teeth next to me, a murderous aura enveloping his form. "And now you're both in the Survey Corps... did you end up telling her your feelings, Levi? But now that I see her all grown up, I wouldn't mind taking some action myself. You wouldn't mind that would ya, Levi?" You see Levi's eyes burn further; you had never seen him so angry, but before he could do or say anything, you spoke up, "Now, now, Kenny." You say, spitting out his name in hatred. In hatred for all the things he had done to the man next to you. "Wouldn't want you talking about me like I'm not even here." 

You hear him freeze in his pursuit before you turn over a glass bottle that allows you to see his reflection. His grin widens, "[y/n]... so you were here too. Tell me, does the little brat satisfy you? Or do you need a real man to-" You cut him off, your own anger brimming within you, "You disgust me," you snap, causing him to laugh again. "Your woman's as brutal as you, Levi." He grins as Levi tries and fails to control his emotions. "You know, there's gotta be a reason someone like you became a Scout, and I think I know what it is. We had no choice but to survive in the garbage dump. It took all we had each day to keep livin'. And when we found out how big the world really was, you can bet it hurt like hell. But something saved us..." You hear a crash as a chair is flung in our direction, causing alcohol to pour over us. But you still look at the bottle in front of you, seeing now that Kenny had his gun aimed forward.

"We found something we wanted to do. It's that simple. It's simple, but the truth is... The only thing that made our lives fulfilling was finding hobbies." You see Levi reach for a gun that lay under the counter, also following your line of sight to the bottle in front of you, looking in Kenny's direction. "But for you, Levi, I never thought your woman would be one of those hobbies." Levi grits his teeth as he grips onto the gun. "What of you, Kenny?" He says, voices low and harsh, "Is blowing the heads off your team a hobby of yours?" Kenny replies with a grin lingering in his voice, "Yup... To achieve my grand goals, I'll kill as much as I have to. You're no different. You kill when it benefits you, too." Levi replies without hesitance, "Yeah." He then flings the gun onto the counter, and you see in the reflection of the bottle Kenny gets blasted in the stomach. We move instantly as you throw a chair to the window opposite you, grabbing the attention of those outside. We use it as a decoy as Levi, and you lunge outside the same window, splitting up as the Military Police pursue us. 

You reach for your blades as you dodge bullets, knowing what has to be done. We're not just fighting Titans anymore. It's kill or be killed. You slice the chests of two Military Police as you run past them, causing them to fall to the floor. They were dead. You sprint across rooftops before seeing Eren and Historia unconscious and being pulled on a wagon by a member of the Military Police. You then look up and see your squad. "Captain!" they yell out, probably shocked to see you bloodied and pursued by the Military Police. You look up and yell out at them, "Our focus is on retrieving Eren and Historia!" You see the squad look back at you. "The people that chase us are used to battle; you must not hesitate! They've already killed two of us. When you have the chance, you kill! Understand?!" You see conflict flicker behind their eyes as they nod, shouting affirmatively. 

You turned to see Levi; he was approaching us and had just dodged a bullet before killing the two men who pursued him. He looked up to us after killing a member of the Military Police who was beside Eren and Historia. "Armin, Jean! Secure the wagon! We'll cover you!" He shouted, "Yes sir," Armin replied instantly, but you saw Jean stay rigid with dispute as he stared at the man Levi had just killed. Armin quickly yells at him, bringing him back to reality as they go to land on the wagon. Meanwhile, you and Levi, along with Mikasa, kill and block the Military Police, fighting to stop us. You look down briefly, heart jolting as you see Jean hesitate to kill the final woman on the carriage as she reaches out to grab her gun, knocking his blade away. As you heard a gunshot, you looked up; luckily, Armin had shot first, causing the woman to fall to the floor. However, as we finally got control over the horses, you turned to see three soldiers aiming their guns at Armin and Jean. 

You hear Levi yell out in warning before you speed down, grabbing Armin from the carriage and Levi grabbing Jean before they are shot dead. You put Armin down, who looked as though he'd seen a ghost, his face pale with shock. No doubt from having killed the woman. You looked up in time to see that the three men now took control of the wagon, Levi holding Mikasa back as she screamed Eren's name.

[Chapter Sixteen] <--> [Chapter Eighteen]

Mikasa is Levi's teacher in relationship (Or vice-versa?)

So, Mikasa's dislike for Levi started because of Eren and his encounter in the Courtroom. While Mikasa is still confused about the type of feelings she had for Eren, Levi kind of sensed something.....

"...... Eren's friend....."

"I see......"

(Levi in thoughts)

What could he be thinking about? Armin is also Eren's friend, so are many other people. But I think Levi is thinking why she is acting so angsty towards him just because Eren is injured at the Courthouse (by his kicks no less).

Then, he tried to understand why Mikasa is so attached to Eren before the team set off to Utgard Castle.

He was hesitating a bit ".....", "I..... dont know why....." but it is interesting to note that Levi is linking protect Eren with attachment to him.

And why, Levi, are you so protective over Hange after that? Did you learn something from Mikasa here?

1) Make sure she does not die by constipation

2) Make sure she does not die by cooping herself up in the house doing nothing except having tea party and knitting

3) Make sure she does not get killed by Yelena or Mdm Azumobito, even if it means dragging his broken body to protect her.

4) Even when he does not know if she is alive or not in Shiganshina, he still want to go and look for survivors from her squad. And he is prepared to kill the Beast titan to let Humanity's hope (Eren and Erwin) escape, even if he may die in the process.

He asked about her and the others twice. Only when Erwin said they all likely died and that the only survivors are the recruits, Levi and himself, Levi decided on a retreat plan and preparing to act as shield to help with the retreat because Hange is likely dead.

5) And a whole lot of compilation of things he wants to protect her from:-

- Titans distraction

- checking if she is ok from banging her head at the door (she addressed everyone, he addressed her)

- getting left out from the transport to Ehmrich

- that cockroach

- Kenny's squad

- the chapel's cave

- Mikasa

- the sea cucumbers

So Levi, have you understood why Mikasa is so protective and attached to Eren now?

That's why Ymir has been looking for Mikasa to end the curse, not Kenny or any other Ackerman, who have identified their liege to dedicate their strength to, throughout the history.

Hi, can I ask something? What do you think are Levi and Mikasa's greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic? Since when that you start shipping them? What is your fav (canon) rivamika moments? Sorry if you've answered these questions before.....

P.s

Thanks for sharing your fics and for this blog of yours. Also, thanks to you, I start shipping Rivamika. See, I love Mikasa so much but I really dislike Eremika and can not understand that ship at all (don't mean anything negative to Eremika shippers). I'm okay with Armin/Mikasa & Jean/Mikasa, but I don't love those ships that much. Until I found your blog, read your fics and fall in love with Rivamika! Sorry for my rambling....

First things first, I’m so so sorry for taking so so long to reply!!! 🥺I’ve been quite busy lately irl and your ask calls for a proper answer. I think Levi is the least judgeamental character in AoT. This is in a virtuous circle with his kindness and selflessness, where those three qualities feed each other back . He’s kind and He’s a good judge of character, he’s practical, obviously he’s strong, both physically and spiritually. His resilience is extraordinary, after all he’s been through, he has not succumbed to rage, revenge, envy… Eren went through a smidgen of a fraction of what Levidis, and he decimated mankind for it. If Levi’s virtues are a bit hidden behind his gruff exterior, his weaknesses are there for all to see (is this a fault in itself?). He can be rude, he expreses anger and frustration in a violent manner—which is a result of his upbringing, granted, but still makes him look unapproachable. This can be good when facing your enemies as a soldier, but can isolate him from meaningful human connections too. I’m veering on hc terrain here, but for all his empathy he also strikes me as someone who’d be much less compassive/forgiving when it’s about “first world problems”. Annie killed his squad? No hard feelings, child soldier, all that jazz; you berate the waiter because he messed up your order? You’re dead to him. I’ve mentioned this before somewhere, but we have an idiom in my country for people who, like Levi, are not cut for polite social events, and its to be “coarse as a plough”, which is funny bc Ackerman means ploughman.

Mikasa is also strong af, and she pairs that with a calm demeanor… unless her loved ones are threatened ofc. In fact, I think Mikasa’s weaknesses are mostly her virtues going overboard: she has a fierce protective instinct, which is good up to a point but it becomes a problem  when she lets that override her judgement, like in the female titan arc. She’s determined, but that turns into stubborness. She’s loyal, but that loyalty turned into paralysis in the case of Eren; not only when it came to having to stop him, but also regarding her crush on him, which she probably wasn’t fully conscious of, hence her surprise and awkwardness when he asked her “what am I to you”.

I’m not sure at what point I started shipping rm; I do remember fretting when he was revealed to be an Ackerman, for fear that they could turn to be family, because I was already rooting for them. I guess I was initially attracted to the idea of the power couple, being the two most badass characters in the series. But I also like how she blooms under his guidance. He could have easily dismissed or bashed her for her protectiveness of Eren, but he teaches her to curb that zeal and keep it as a goal, not a trigger; he lends her his trust and allows her to become his right hand in battle. She in turn, despite her initial enmity towards him because of his display in Eren’s trial, is able to recognize Levi’s kindness and appreciate his leadership. He treats her not like a weapon, not like a silly girl, but like a full human being. Perhaps Mikasa is the one who most shows her fear of losing her loved ones, and that’s certainly something Levi knows about. Neither of them have time or energy for BS. It’s canon Mikasa wishes for a peaceful life like the one she had with her parents, and Levi to me exudes huge “I’m too old for this shit” energy (like jjk Nanami, another husbando) so I can picture them spending their afternoons in domestic bliss, fixing things around the house, tending to the garden, rather than going to town. He can give her reassurance and She could provide him with the family life he never had.

They’re both hot af, too. 😆 Imagine that Ackerpower in the bedroom...

In the end though, like in real life, it doesn’t matter much why you like it… You just do, and it makes you happy, and it hurts no one, so it’s fine!

Awww idk if being thankful or sorry that you started shipping rm because of me! 😅 Our ship is one of the most misunderstood of the fandom, and from time to time we get hate from antis, eruris and/or eremikas. But because of who they are, what they’ve been through and what they want, I think they make for beautiful fics where their relationship helps them fix themselves, rather than fixing each other. This is something that often comes up in the rm discord, how our fave fics are usually post-canon and about building a healthy relationship based on respect, rather than all the drama and toxicity of classic romance lit. (ofc we also enjoy a good old pwp… though you’ll still find a lot of established-relationship porn and porn-with-feelings fics.)

Thank you so much for your ask, and sorry again for the delay!
