LEVI PROPOSING OUT OF NOWHERE summary: when the Captain decides that the best time to propose is in a cramped cargo room in an airship on your way back after a month of being held captive in Liberio. Takes place after the Raid. warnings: mentions of torture, sexual tension

“Levi, he knew,” you whisper. “Eren fucking knew I was in Liberio, this whole time. Did he know I was being tortured too?” 

You sound desperate, and you hate it. You already know that you lost Eren, so why do you bother asking? Why? “I get that we sometimes have to make sacrifices – I get that some things are more important, like our comrades, the war, but–“

“It’s not,” Levi cuts you off, with so much finality that you pause your rant. You close your mouth with a small snap, eyes wide as you look at him.

“It’s not,” he repeats. “Nothing’s worth what you went through. Nothing.” His gaze is intense as he looks back at you, his jaw set.

You’re not sure what to say. The silence stretches between you, and Levi just keeps looking at you. Staring at you, like he did the first time you saw him on that training ground years ago, except now, he’s not looking at you as if he’s trying to figure you out, but as if he knows you.

Just as his burning stare and the silence is about to freak you out, Levi finally speaks.

“Marry me.”

Your jaw drops.

Your eyes widen.

Your fingers latch onto Levi’s uniform, twisting the fabric in your hands, as if you want to make sure he’s really here, and that you’re not still in that damn cell, dreaming all this up.

No. No – that would be too cruel.

The silence that follows is impossibly even more charged than before as you struggle to comprehend the meaning of those two words. “Levi, I…”

“Obviously, only if you want–”

“Of course I want to!” The panic in your voice would’ve probably been funny under different circumstances.

“Oh.” The intensity of Levi’s gaze mellows into something softer, and colour starts rising to his cheeks.

“Of course I want to, dumbass,” you say, still struggling to get the words out. “I just didn’t think you cared about…stuff like that.”

“Me neither.”

The admission doesn’t offend you, because you’d expected it. You frown at him. “So, what changed?”

With a sigh, he tips back his head, throat bobbing as he gulps. “Meeting you,” he murmurs. “Falling in love with you. It’s funny, because I don’t remember it happen. It’s as if I just woke up one day and realised that it’d always been like that – me, loving you. And I didn’t know how not to.” He lowers his gaze again to look directly at you. “I love you.” 

Tears fill your eyes. And for once, it’s not due to anger or grief or pain, but happiness and love, so much of it that you feel like your heart is about to leap out of your chest. The feeling is disgustingly sweet and sappy, but you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

“I love you too, Levi.”

He then says your name, softly, almost caressing it as it leaves his lips. “Will you have me?”

You nod, a single tear slipping down your cheek. “Yes, Levi. Yes, of course I will. And you know–” you stumble over the words, “–that you already have me.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

He smiles at you. A smile with no restraint, something so pure and genuine that you want to bottle it and store it in a jar so you could bring it with you wherever you went.

Levi’s eyes don’t stray from yours as he moves his hand from your waist to what looks like a pocket sown into his uniform. Your breath hitches in your throat when he pulls out a small, plain box.

“When did you buy a ring?” you blurt.

He grimaces, fiddling with the box in his hands. You raise your brows at him – Levi doesn’t fiddle.

“When I ordered the dagger,” he finally mumbles, averting his gaze.

“Dagger– wait, you mean…what?”

“The dagger,” he repeats impatiently, his ears growing red. “You know, piece of metal stuck to a handle? Sharp and pointy?”

You scowl at him. “You know that’s not what I meant. I was just surprised is all.” 

He gives you a flat look. “Don’t see what for.”

“Come on Levi, that’s got to be what – two, three years ago? Don’t tell me you bought the ring three years ago.” The thought makes your head spin, because that must mean that he’s been carrying around–

that he’s been wanting to–

that during this whole time–

“Just because you didn’t know what you wanted doesn’t mean I hadn’t already made up my mind,” he says stubbornly.

You blink a couple of times, not knowing whether to feel shocked or flattered or annoyed because of his presumptuousness. Or your own predictability. “Wow. Just…wow.”

“Are you done gaping like an idiot?” Levi snaps. “Or do you want to see the damn ring?” His ears have grown bright red, and you’d be lying if you said you didn’t find it incredibly endearing.

You immediately sober up, however, when he closes his fingers around the small box and starts shoving it back into his pocket.

“Wait– wait, okay I’m sorry!” You grab his arm to stop him, reaching for the box. “Sorry, sorry, I was being a jerk!” Letting out a huff of breath, you turn serious again. “Please, show me?”

With a roll of his eyes, Levi slowly opens his fist to flick open the lid of the small box. A rush of excitement courses through you as you lean closer to get a look.

The ring is nothing particularly showy – just a plain silver band, resting on a nest of black fabric. You catch a glimpse of an engraving on the inside. Promise, it reads.

“I know it’s not much,” Levi says, his eyes guarded as he watches your expression. “But I thought you might prefer something like this instead of anything too big or flashy. Of course, if you’d rather–“

But before he can finish his sentence, you catch his mouth in a quick, but firm kiss. His eyes widen and he stops talking, looking almost shocked when you pull away.

“Stop being stupid for a moment, will you? Levi, this is perfect.”

He clears his throat, looking flustered for a couple of seconds before he regains his bearings. Carefully, he picks up the ring and holds out his hand, palm up. “May I?”

Heart fluttering in your chest, you hold out your own hand. Levi slips the ring onto your fourth finger with ease and doesn’t let go of you for a while. He fingers brush lightly over your knuckles before he intertwines them with yours, raising both your hands to his lips to place a light kiss to the tips of your fingers.

It reminds you of the first time he told you that he loved you, and heat rises to your cheeks at the memory. Apparently, you’re not the only one, because Levi suddenly pulls you closer, slotting your hips against his. You let out a small gasp, and Levi closes his eyes, letting out a quiet, breathy sound that sends a jolt straight to your core.

After moment, however, he sighs. “Unfortunately, we can’t spend the rest of the flight in here.”

“A shame,” you agree.

“Yeah. Fuck, I should’ve waited till we got back.”

“Hm.”

SKDJSKS CRYING AT HIS RESEARCH 😹😹😹 And he becomes shocked with his findings…. “🤨 Where are the rest of these things? 🤨”

OMG YES I REMEMBER THAT HEADCANON ASDFGHASDFGH

part I | part II summary: the first time Levi sees you after you've been held captive in Marley...

You and Levi stare at each other for a moment.

Then, a horrid sound escapes him, something between a choked gasp and a relieved sigh. He stumbles towards you, unusually clumsy as he reaches for you and pulls you close, so close that you lose your breath in the embrace.

You take in his familiar scent, the sound of his beating heart, the way his hair tickles your skin. You think you’re crying into his shoulder, but he doesn’t comment on the snot and tears bound to stain his uniform, as he might have done had the situation been different.

“I didn’t know,” he breathes, his voice barely audible, even as his breath tickles the shell of your ear. “I didn’t know.”

You open your mouth to ask him what he means, but he continues speaking and you let him. “I didn’t know if you were alive. I didn’t know what’d happened to you. I didn’t know if I’d ever–“

He pauses. His expression is pained and verging on desperate as he pulls away, just a little, to properly look at you. He does it slowly and carefully, as if you could disappear from the merest breath of wind.

You get impatient. You step closer, reaching out to cup his jaw, your thumb gently brushing over his cheek. His eyes flutter shut and he leans into your palm, his breath stuttering. You notice his lashes glistening in the dim light.

“I didn’t know,” he repeats. “I hated it. I hated it so much, so much. I hated not knowing. I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner. I’m so fucking sorry. I would’ve– I should’ve–“

“Levi?” 

He opens his eyes, and you find the grey the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen (the world could lose colour, you wouldn’t care, as long as you could still see the grey in his eyes while he looked at you like you were the only thing in the world worth caring about).

“I’m okay, Levi,” you say because in that exact moment, it’s the truth.

He sighs your name in return. Your heart flutters in your chest, like it did the first time he’d said your name like that – with affection and longing, in a forest at night, when you were still just a cadet.

It reminds you of the promise you made to Levi. You don’t remember if it was before one of his missions, or before the Battle of Trost, or before the 57th Expedition, but you did.

And you intend to keep it.
