Hello Captain Levi!

Here is a test to see how a fandom would treat you. The admin wanted you to take more tests so more shall be coming your way hehe.

https://uquiz.com/quiz/h2x51g/how-would-a-fandom-actually-treat-you

*Wary* Of course they wanted that… Whatever. They mean nothing anyway.

*Takes quiz. Tries to crack computer screen with his glare throughout.*

…

Tch. *Flustered, leans back in seat and crosses arms* Like I said. Means nothing.

[Fan favorite side character: You are the chosen one. The random side character the entire fandom chooses as their favorite. You're not as interesting or focused on in the canon- but the fandom goes wild. They give you a full backstory, an amazing character arc, a perfect love interest, the best fanart around- they love you. You won. You won the fandom lottery.]

[botheringlevi]

Doesn’t even possess the mental fortitude to tell these two to shut up, or that they’re perverts. Sits very still, very hard. He can’t stop staring at the photos.

Sneaks away in stiff silence for now. Will wait to see what comes of this, and perhaps interrogate Erwin later about a question he got today…

commander might i suggest an addition to captain levi’s loungewear

*His eyes grow wide, his mouth gapes. He swallows thickly as a blush rises on his face and he shifts in his seat to hide how tight they've quickly become.*

Oh. Well. Gee I, um... these are... how should I say it? Enticing? *he clears his throat and shifts again* I didn't know things like this existed. Are those real bells on the ears? Do you suppose they tinkle when moved?

*whispers* Could you perhaps... tell me where to obtain such things?

[botheringlevi]

You’re so pretty🫶

[botheringlevi]

*Me, staring intensely and silently at Levi* PRETTY BOI

‘Boi’? *Squints* You mean boy, I guess.

*Hates how much he’s blushing*

Quit staring. It’s creepy.

[botheringlevi]

Alright *ruffles his hair gently not to mess it too much* You’re hair is so soft, it’s beautiful. And you’re beautiful too. Thank you for letting me.

*takes hand back* Now, one more thing, *takes a small hair brush from pocket cuz I’m prepared for situations like this (I also like to brush my hair a lot so)* I said I’ll brush it, so.. I wanna keep my word. *slowly brings the brush to his head and starts to brush it carefully* Thank you again, and not just for letting me..touch you. Thank you for everything. *smiles*

[Previous ask]

*Scrunches nose instinctively, cheeks warming* I…

*She produces the hairbrush*

He stands like a doll, maintaining shrewd eye contact while she fixes his hair, unsure of what to do with this odd form of affection.

Thinks distantly it’s the same kind of hairbrush he carries with him on expeditions…

*Shrewdly* Didn’t touch me… You touched my hair. There’s a difference.

Realizes this was a stupid thing to say.

*Crosses arms* I didn’t do anything important. But whatever you say.

[botheringlevi]

hey levi, i think you might like this. (also happy late valentine’s, my love <3)

*Watching the video, he grits his teeth, but fails not to smirk at least a small bit*

The card confuses him for several reasons. He tries to take in stride the fact that this is Suki, so destruction in this case must mean something romantic.

Struggles for sometime on how to return something like that. Out of a choice of cards, he picks the least cringe-worthy and-or embarrassing one.

…

*Stiffly shoves the thing in her hands* Here. Take it.

[botheringlevi]

You have very pretty eyes dear Captain

Tch. Is that so…

[botheringlevi]

Hello pretty boy, dropping by to give you some food

*hands over a bento box*

- ❤️‍🔥

*Shocked* Pretty…?

He is given the bento box, which he eyes like he’s never been given food before.

I don’t know why you did this. But thanks.

Later stares at its contents, uncomprehending. It looks good.

[botheringlevi]

Can I ruffle your hair? I promise I’m clean. I’ll brush it after if you want. I just love you sm.

-Sara

*Instinctively steps back* Promise, huh? I hope you don't take those lightly, Sara.

He's further flustered by the lengths she's willing to go to touch his hair... and the last thing, too.

*Mutters* Very well, then.

*Shifts stance awkwardly, steps forward, and drags her wrist to the top of his head*

[botheringlevi]

Hi Levi,

You're so pretty. Seeing your face makes me happy.

😘 Em

*Blushing faintly*

*Goes to touch face, then thinks better of it*

Tch. Whatever you say…

[botheringlevi]

*gently knocks on his office door before entering* hi levi. *smiles as they walk up to him*

how are you? i was a little busy earlier so i didn't have the time to check in with you.

uhm if you aren't too occupied at the moment it would be great if you could take this quiz. *holds up hands defensively* another one i know... hange actually asked everyone to take it but they were worried you would say no if they asked you so they sent me instead.

most of us took it already and some results were quite surprising. *chuckles awkwardly* i got sadness for uh... whatever reason i guess. anyway it would be really nice if you could give it a go as well.

*seems very flustered all of a sudden* also uh if you would like to hang out- or uhm spend some time together i have this saturday off... so if you happen to be free as well we could maybe do something together? only if you want to of course. no pressure at all. *laughs nervously*

Luna happened to catch him in a busy moment. Every book from the tall shelf is stacked in a neat row beside it.

When he notices who entered without knocking, he places his fine dustcloth—since previously cleaning imaginary dust—down and turns. His full attention is theirs.

He pulls his kerchief down. It sags below his neckline.

What do you need? I'm cleaning.

He may or may not have noticed Luna failing to check in with him, and may or may not have then used cleaning as a method to pass the time in case it was on his mind for no reason.

*Shrugs* Didn't even notice... But you're here now. So don't mention it.

*Eyes the packet sourly. They explain Hange's technique of indirectly assigning this quiz to him*

Hange thought I'd say yes just because you delivered it? *Blushing* Tch.

Avoids looking at Luna directly as he takes the packet from their outstretched hand. They share their results.

*Frowns* 'For whatever reason', huh?

Why... Is Hange going to use these against us or something? Exposing you as sad doesn't sound much like official military business. It's personal. *Rifles through packet* Like I don't give a shit if the quiz says you're any of these in the first place. You're just you at the end of the day.

But fine.

They grow flustered, asking if he'd like to spend time together this weekend. They're free on Saturday.

He does some quick math. He could be free that day if he simply got some things done sooner than planned.

*Grunts, crossing his arms* I'll make it happen... Sure. Fine.

He's still blushing.

Later, having finished cleaning, he shoots the packet a small glare before sitting down to take it. These things are always so exposing.

...Part of him wonders if he'll share Luna's result. He'd tell them. But definitely not Hange of all people.

Flips packet over with a scoff, and leans back in his seat, debating whether to keep it to himself. Regardless of how stupid these things are, it seems to matter to Luna.

[botheringlevi]

Hey handsome, I brought you your favourite tea 🍵

*Squints* Green tea is not his favorite.

Holds hands out for them to transfer the cup over, cheeks warm.

I didn’t ask for this. But might as well.

[botheringlevi]

I love you

Embarrassed, he studies the meme closely, and feels his cheeks heat even more.

…What a waste of paper.

[botheringlevi]

Welcome back, Levi

I just saw the post, I haven’t been quite well lately, if I was I would be writing you sooner. I’m glad to see you again, I really missed you and I can’t wait to talk to you.

Take care of yourself and have in mind how much I love you❤️

-Sara

He appears tired.

‘Well’ in what way, Sara? Let me know if you’re contagious or something.

*Frowns* Sorry… I see now everyone and their mother missed seeing me around, but starting tomorrow I’m gonna be gone for longer. Or… *Shifts eyes* We’ll see how this expedition pans out.

*Grumbles, cheeks pink* You wouldn’t let me forget it. As for that other thing, I keep myself in top shape fine.

[botheringlevi]

hello captain levi, it makes me so so happy to see you again! you already know that i look up to you in many ways.. but most of the time i'm sad and therefore very unproductive and lazy. it's like i haven't moved forward. i'm afraid you'll be disappointed or even will dislike me. whatever your answer is.. you're in my heart forever ❤️ please take care of yourself, and thank you for being here with us ❤️

I was only gone for a couple days…

*Stares blankly* No, I don’t. *Grumbles* It seems like a common feeling. But I can’t tell one Anonymous from the next. Leave a name next time.

I disagree with you… Sadness isn’t the same as being lazy and unproductive. People choose to be lazy or unproductive. You don’t choose to be sad, at least, the vast majority of people don’t. *Thinks deeply* Which means on some days, being productive means doing the bare minimum. Even if it’s breathing. Don’t be shitty to yourself without acknowledging your sadness itself as the real enemy.

Are you going to live to see tomorrow? Then you’re moving forward. That’s all there is to it.

*Blushing, timidly* Whatever… I hear you.

[botheringlevi]

His heart has been pounding ever since he closed the door on his way out of his quarters. He was stuck for quite a few minutes on how casual a sudden date should be treated—so he dressed how he usually would.

Outside HQ's gate, she calls him beautiful.

*Instantly flustered, grumbles* Don’t be cheesy. And I’m not worried. *Steps forward and looks up at her* I trust you have that shit taken care of. Unless you haven’t bought it yet. *Teasing* Seeing how spontaneous all this was, I wouldn’t put it past you.

They walk together.

Never been to a film. I’m not a fan of all the crowds and shitty noise, either, but it really doesn’t matter to me where we go.

Good restaurants where? *Tilts head* You better not mean expensive if you plan on paying. Not that I'm letting you.

She asks him about ice-skating.

No… never done that either. Obviously I know how to balance—else you know nothing about what I do for a living. *A demure look* You have to be pretty agile to be any good with ODM gear. We’ll see who needs whose help.

As her fingers close around his, heat instantly rushes to his face. He’s failing to act unaffected like he planned…

Since you’ve been so nice giving me this really pretty bracelet.. *looks at it for a sec* May I take you out?

And, no, that’s not my present because I thought of giving it to you later, but I do have some flowers for you.

They’re not real, they are paper, but I spent my time doing them, I thought they’ll last longer.

*gives him a letter along with the flowers* Read it later.

For now, I’ll be waiting you outside, if you’re not busy. Dress warm, it’s pretty cold.

[Previous ask]

A date? Eyes slightly wide, he forces his expression neutral and stares. He isn’t sure if gifts are supposed to come before a date or after. Or how dates work, really.

…What did you get?

He carefully plucks the stem from her hand, and closely admires her art in silence. It’s extremely well-made.

Thank you… you must’ve spent a lot of time on this. Of course they’ll last a long time. *Grumbles* I’m not letting anything happen to them.

*Takes the letter, too, clutching it close to his chest. Looks up at her* Where would we go?

She tells him she’ll wait outside. It’s spontaneous, which gives him a pang of anxiety since he didn’t get to mentally plan in advance.

But he may not get this chance again for some time. He’ll be busy training new recruits.

*Demure* Give me half an hour.
