Idk but i think levi is pretty self-conscious about his body.
He had a hard time walking shirtless even in the men's changing room. The other cadets would talk to each other as they stripped off their sweat soaked clothes, waiting for each other in ragged towels barely covering their private parts or not even covering at all.
Whenever Levi wanted to take a shower, he would clear his throat, suggesting that the cadets had been taking too long in the showers. He would only remove his clothing when the majority people had left, and he would 100% cover his private part immediately. He would use the shower furtherest away from the entrance and take the quickest shower ever.
He would always face the wall as he dried off, and turn around only after he wrapped the towel around his waist. He crossed his arms around his bare chest as he walked toward his locker.
Levi had one of the best bodies but he never thought of it that way. Almost all of his scars reminded him of a person he lost during the expeditions outside the walls or at battles. He tried to forget, but their faces were craved into his skin.
But when he was alone with you, your touch soothed his bad memories. "Like constellations," you once said as you traced his skin. He shivered under your touch. He felt safe under your gaze. He gave in when he was in your arms. Only with you, he removed his clothes to feel you more, to touch you more. When he held you tight, he felt your heart beating so close to his, your skin radiating warmth that he didn't realise he needed. Levi loved it when you looked at him and saw him.
