Levi was never the one for romance. Why would he need it? He always thought it was a distraction from his goals. Even so, he couldn’t help but feel like his heart was in his throat when he looked at you

He’s never felt love. Was that even what this feeling was? But after coming to terms, it felt like he had woken up from a dull dream. It made him feel weak, despite being humanity’s strongest soldier

After some time, he began to…pay more attention to your actions and habits. Levi wouldn’t call it stalking, he was just caring about his lieutenant

And here you both were, sitting next to him in his office, mindlessly talking about your day, messing with the scattered pens and pencils as he did paperwork. His hand occasionally bumped into yours, causing both of your fingers to dance when they meet

You teased him, saying something about wanting to hang out with him more and felt solitary. He stopped writing for a moment, taking a deep breath

“If you’re lonely, no need to show me. If you’re lonely, come be lonely with me” he murmured, not really paying attention to his own words
