For this special day, you had prepared a gift for him. It wasn’t something grand, but a small, meaningful token of your affection.

You waited for Levi outside his office, knowing he was busy discussing plans with Erwin. You knew that Levi didn’t care much for Christmas—or even his own birthday. He focused on his work and protecting others rather than indulging in celebrations. Yet, despite that, you were determined to give him this gift. After all, it was both Christmas and his birthday—a rare, special occasion.

Taking a deep breath, you tightened your grip on the small package in your hands as you heard the sound of his office door creaking open.
