LEVI ACKERMAN: DOWN MEMORY LANE

Prompt: OldLevi and CaretakerReader. You’ve taken care of Levi in the old folks home for a few years, and today he surprises you. He asks you to do something for him. He wants to look at old pictures from his youth, and his time in the Survey Corp. He opens up slightly, telling about the people in his life, what he did, what he was involved in. Levi never wants to forget the people who were important to him.

Notes: Ik in canon-verse, the rumbling would decimate everyone and life wouldn’t exist like this, and that Levi would be long gone by the time humanity restored itself to this capacity but dispense your beliefs for a second lol. Also i love writing oldLevi, I might need to do this again.

Warning: mentions of not having enough food. Generally kinda sad.

Enjoy babes!

Mr Ackerman was one of your favourite people to see throughout your day. He was simple, and didn’t ask for much. You came around every morning around 8, and gave him his medicine, always following u[ by asking if he wanted to anything that day after breakfast.

Usually he simply said, “No,” followed by a curt nod, and the air that he was simply waiting for you to leave once you gave him his meds. But this morning he sighed heavily at your question. This startled you.

“I think I want to look at some old pictures. They’re in a box in my closet..” Mr Ackerman said plainly.

A grin grew across your face and you nodded eagerly to him. “Of course, I can come by after breakfast and I’ll bring those down for you. Thank you for asking Mr Ackerman,”

“Hmph,” He replies before opening his vial and taking his medication. He swallows each pill swiftly, “Don’t call me that please. Levi is fine.” He looked at you with a tired expression, his eyes narrowed and drooping with age. Wrinkles decorate what you assumed was a really handsome face back in his time. His black hair was highlighted with grey streaks and it was kept in this very particular hair cut that was reminiscent of the mid 800s. Short on the sides, with longer pieces framing his face.

Levi. Levi Ackerman.

You felt that was a good sign he was warming up to you. You had seen him every day for years, and this was the first time he had really engaged with any conversation with you.

“Alright then, Levi. I’ll be back around 10 and I’ll bring down that box for you.” You reply.

“Thank you..” he mumbles, and you leave, hurriedly making your rounds to the rest of your patients. Normally around 10 you would have your first coffee break, but today you were okay with skipping out on it.

***

“I’m coming in, Levi.” You say through the door.

“Yeah-“ he replies and you open the door. Levi was sitting in a rocking chair in his small living room. He had a drink in his hands.

“Is there anything you need before I grab that box for you?” You ask kindly, walking around to the small doorframe that lead down to his room. Levi shook his head and he flexed his foot, pushing the chair back and forth.

“No.” Levi takes a drink out of the crystal glass he had in his hand, and sets it down again. “It’s a brown box, up top, left side. It might be heavy.”

You nod your head, repeating his directions in your mind as you carefully tread into his bedroom. Levi kept his room very tidy and clean. Years ago you gave up asking him to stop that, we have cleaners for you, you would say. But you knew he held some comfort in cleaning his own space.

You open the closet door and found what you were looking for. Dust has accumulated all over the box, and it felt fuzzy and weird against your fingers as you brought it over your head, and into your arms.

You walk back into the living room and set it on the floor.

“You can open it,” Levi says, watching as you lift the cardboard box up. You’re met with bundles of envelopes filling the box. “Pass those to me, I can show you the good ones if you have time.” Levi offers softly. You sit on the floor, passing him the first bursting envelope you see. “I used to work with a researcher and they were very obsessive about pictures. Most of these were hers.” You watch as his fingers struggle to remove the elastic band — his hands trembling as he opens the seals and takes out a few photos.

He sets the envelope down, looking at the few pictures in his hands before sighing deeply. He passs you a picture and you looked at the grainy, over exposed picture of 3 people. Immediately you recognize the young man that was once Levi. He stood in the middle, with his arms crossed and his hair standing the exact same way it did now, except it was jet black then. The two people on either side of him were tall, one with brown, tousled hair, and the other tall, broad and blonde. Their expressions looked solemn and they all wore the same, military-Esq uniforms.

“Levi, what did you do? Were you in the military?”

Levi nods, “More or less.” He leans over, hovering over you as he points his finger to the tall blonde man in the picture, “That was Erwin Smith, I worked under him for many years.” His finger moved over to the other person, making a slightly amused ‘tsk’ sound. “That’s Hange Zoe, we worked together for a long time.”

Levi handed you another picture and this one had many more unfamiliar faces. “This was the Survey Corp of my time. You read about Eren Jeager in school at some point?”

You nod, having heard about his name, and what he did throughout most of your life. “Of course.” You reply, trying to keep your cool that Levi knew Eren, and that Levi was potentially a huge figure in world history.

Levi points to a young, brunette boy. He was grinning and was surrounded by two other people, wrapping their arms around him. “That’s Eren.. before it all happened.”

“Woah..” you say, feeling dumbfounded. You looked at each face in the picture — all of these people were in Levi’s life, and they were important to him. You felt like an outsider, looking at all the jumbled, intimate interactions everyone was having together. No one faced the camera, or even knew it was there. People were talking, laughing, running around. You wondered what life was like for them all.

You look up at Levi, seeing his lips pressed in a thin line, and he hands you another photo. It was of him and Hange. You couldn’t tell from the grainy, black and white colouring of the picture but they looked to be wearing almost matching suits. Their arms were wrapped around each other’s waist and Levi looked stoically into the camera, while Hange was looking past it, manically laughing as if giving directions to the person behind the camera. “Who took this picture?” You ask, smiling at how cute it was. You wondered if they were ever a couple.

Levi made a noise in the back of his throat, “I don’t remember. Might’ve been Potato girl or something.”

You perk up, “Potato Girl? Who’s that?” You ask, amused.

“She uhh, she was … a member of the Survey Corp while I was there. She was always eating everyone’s food.” Levi said, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. “Now that I think about it, I think she grew up never having enough.”

Levi’s eyes avert to his lap, and he thought for a moment. He was very similar to Sasha in that way. He also grew up never having enough food, enough sunlight, enough love. But now, here he was, food, sunlight and friends at his finger tips. He wondered why he couldn’t enjoy it like he should. Eventually he reaches down for another envelope — his fingers shook as he shuffled through all the pictures.

This one was filled with random moments Hange captured. Titans tied at the neck with rope and chains. One with Hange crouched down, posing next to a Titan with its mouth wide open. Young Eren standing with a bleeding hand, crying out desperately. A picture that was completely blown out, and over exposed, followed up by a photo of Eren’s Attack titan. The new recruits preparing for a mission. Levi couldn’t quite remember the name … it started with a J .. Jean. Jean strapping his best friend into his gear. Each picture opened up a reservoir of memories he thought he had forgotten — but upon the seeing the dirt roads, and the uniforms, his former comrades, he was suddenly back on Paradis.

Levi passes you all the photos, and you look through them in silence. You drop your jaw at the sight of the Titan pictures, bringing it close and looking at it. The two of you look at the photos in silence — Levi occasionally giving you a stack to look at. Each picture he came across of Hange and Erwin made him pause, and he looks at it over and over again.

Remembering them.

Levi tries desperately to recall their voices, the tones and cadences they used in their meetings. The way Hange spoke when they were happy, or when they were sad. The way Erwin spoke in front of his comrades, his thrumming voice that could project across miles.

“Levi, what made you want to look at these pictures today?” You ask, curious what inspired this. You had your guesses. It wasn’t uncommon for people to get sentimental with age — to want to relive your younger moments just so you can remember who you are.

You look up to Levi, shuffling the photos back in order so you can place them back in the envelope. He didn’t respond, as he was still looking through the pictures. But eventually, and looked back at you. “I don’t want to forget them.” He said, his voice trembles slightly. “They were my life.”
