How come he's never anticipated this happening? When it was so obvious it would. Yet, for once, he dared to be optimistic. Damn stupid in hindsight.

Just a simple scouting mission, during a storm. It was a particularly heavy one but soldiers such as Levi and you had been enough worse.

Then, without any warning whatsoever, while riding your horse, a bright bolt of lightning strikes — hitting you directly.

Having wasted no time, he brought you to the infirmary. Now it's been 4 weeks and he remained by your side ever since.

While Levi knew it was foolish, and not ideal, a small part of him hoped that he could now tell you of his romantic feelings for you.

Something he kept to himself out of fear you'd reject him.

After what felt like forever, you finally opened your eyes, looking up at the Captain, then asking about your identity.

That's my chance.

"You're my partner."
