Levi had never thought about romantic relationships. He was always losing people he cared for and he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it if he lost someone he loved like that.

Someone he loved like you. He didn’t know when he caught feelings. He didn’t know how but he knew he fell hard. He probably broke a few bones on the way down too.

You were beautiful, perfect, everything about you was everything he had ever wanted. He loves your voice, your hair, your lips, the way you walked, the way you covered your mouth when you laughed, and your eyes…god your eyes were the prettiest things he’d ever seen. He would do anything to be able to have one conversation with you.

But he had no idea how to approach you. That’s right, you didn’t even know him. He was so nervous he rarely spoke to you, he only watched you from a distance. On the off chance that he was around you his responses were…awkward to say the least. At some point he had even considered asking Erwin to help him.

You’re Hange’s friend, a medic in the Scouts. A kind soul, he is the opposite…or he thats what he believes. You were too soft for a world like this, a world where humans were being eaten alive by giants and where crime ran rampant through the streets.

He wanted to protect you. To keep you away from people or things that would harm you. To hide you away so you would never have to experience pain or fear…but he couldn’t do that to you. He didn’t want to rob you of a life. So he just watched from afar…Like he was doing now.

He sat in the mess hall, in the seat across from where you sat beside Hange. He was sneaking glances at you while you focused on whatever bullshit Hange was talking about.
