Live, Laugh, Levi.

But he starts noticing the little things.

You clean your blade the same way he does.

You sigh audibly every time Hange drags you into chaos.

You sit in corners and judge people with style.

You correct people without using a single word. Just one stare.

You say "tch" and mean it.

He’s so thrown off the day you answer a sarcastic remark from Jean with an even colder one than he would’ve used. The squad stares. Levi? Just blinks. Slowly. Then turns to look at you like: “...Huh.”

Internally? He's losing it.

This man does not know how to handle someone who:

Doesn’t chase him

Doesn’t flirt with him

Doesn’t even look at him for too long But still… gets him in a way no one else does.

And when you’re both assigned to a mission together? The chemistry is so dry it’s wet.

You, whispering while watching a new recruit fumble with ODM gear:

"He’s gonna die."

Levi: "Not if he breaks both legs first."

Silence. Eye contact. A nod. Soulmates.

But then you do something small—like adjusting the collar of his cravat without comment, or wordlessly handing him tea after a long night.

He’s standing there like: “Did I just get… cared for? Without being asked how I’m feeling? What the fuck.”

You’re still completely unreadable.

And he’s pacing in his room afterward like some lovesick Victorian man, wondering when the hell you climbed under his skin.

Eventually, someone (probably Hange) asks about it.

“So, what’s the deal with you two? You just grunt at each other. Is that your foreplay or something?”

And Levi just says, completely flat: "Wouldn't you like to know."

(You overhear. You smirk. That’s your equivalent of blushing.)

The confession? Oh, it’s weird.

Levi finally corners you while you’re restocking cleaning supplies. Just stands there awkwardly until you glance up.

"Need something?"

"...Tch. No."

Pause.

"You just… piss me off less than everyone else."

You tilt your head. “That supposed to be romantic?”

He grits his teeth. "...It is if you want it to be."

You stare at him.

"...Alright," you say simply. Then go back to organizing bleach.

He’s never been more aroused in his life.
